Charity Shopping - New to You in '22!

YoungBlueEyes

Mmmm if I had brogues I would do. They’re on my wish list…. I wore em today with a polo neck and dm shoes. They’re lovely and warm, silk lined to the knee. They both are 😊 

Bring on the cold now!

I couldn't find my husband any boots at all. The three charity shops I went in only had men's smart work shoes.

I bought myself three winter hats instead. One purple, one white with a pom pom (both brand new) and a pink Top Shop hat that I need to wash. I also quickly popped in after my flu jab and bought my dog three more teddies. My husband said the purple one looked like a tea cosy! I will still wear it if gets cold.

Can't fault your style when you wear DMs. 👍

They're plain black with a wee buckle on the side. I bought them years ago for work (in a bar/restaurant) when I was on my feet for lots of hours and doing a lot of miles a day. There's not a mark on em - quality always shows

I bought a lovely Per Una cream fleece with contrasting bit at the neck and mis-matched buttons.
I thought it was Joules when I first saw it.
Unsure whether this will be worn out or in the house.
£4.50 Lighthouse

Ooh nice. I'd wear that outdoors 'til it's beyond any more washing, then it's indoors

I'm up north and it is properly cold, worry not!

Oh yes. I did buy myself a Gelert black zip up jacket but I'm going to wear that before Christmas and not wrap it up.

I washed it and was able to wear it out yesterday evening as it dries incredibly quickly as I only had it on the hot radiator for about an hour. I also found £1.50 in the pocket!:)

Popped up to Aldi this morning for a mooch - OH does the main shop at Tesco.
Called at hospice shop to drop a few things off and saw this Mountain Warehouse 80% down/20% feather coat. Very clean and tidy.
Double ended zip, detachable hood.
It had to be mine for £15.00.
£199 full price on their website.

And a lovely silk scarf that I think has been hand painted.
My friend loves poppies and I'll carefully wash and iron it and gift it to her for Christmas.
Slightly expensive (imho) at £5.00 but I know she'll love it and wear it.
And the answer is 'no', Brie - before you ask. 

And from Age Concern, a George pinafore dress in dark purple needlecord with pale and dark pink flowers and patch pockets. £3.50.

No worries @Pollycat!  I'm not a huge fan of square scarves preferring the long slim ones I can wrap around my neck a few times.  That is lovely though and I think your friend is very lucky!!!  £5 is a tad above average in price perhaps but not if it's hand made.
