Shop Charity Store in '24!

That's shocking @Rosa_Damascena, and quite possibly a hate crime. I'm at the wrong end of Yorkshire (80+ miles away) but hopefully the publicity will get lots of customers in to support the shop.

It’s was on Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 so I’m sure they’ll get support.

Oooh wish I lived a bit nearer too!  Stupid NIMBY 😡

Today’s trip to Otley unearthed a BNWT jersey ‘midaxi’* dress by Roman,  priced at £2.99.  Had to alter the neckline tho as it was v v low 🫢.  Also not sure if I should lop a few inches off the skirt and make it a midi length, (currently about 3” above the ankle)?

*think that's the correct term!



Oooops, sorry the pic is sooo big, dunno  how to shrink it on an iPad ☹️

No don't unpick the neckline or hem @Miró - use a cami underneath, wear it with heels and you are good to go. Alternatively send it with your best wishes to the Essex Riviera (I don't mean to @Wednesday2000 ).

Ditto, some people eh! Grrrr!

Haven't been shopping today so nothing interesting to report back about and I agree with @Rosa_Damascena about keeping the dress as it is to preserve the proportions IYSWIM. Could you fill in the neckline with some lace or a fichu?

I've been busy with work & bogged down with medication side effects so not done much mooching recently. I did find a few things at the weekend, but only kept two - a pair of M&S slim jeans that were too short as jeans but are now raw-edge cropped, and a Jaeger navy & white patterned jersey top, to be work wear.

Karma will get that note writer. I'm in Yorkshire but not near Sheffield or I'd be in there like a shot. What is the matter with some people?!

I had already altered/tightened the neckline before I took the pic!!!   Imagine how low it was before!!!  I just would not have dared to lean forward as it was originally    I guess the v v low neckline was the reason the dress was handed into the chazza??

I just walked to a charity shop and back and didn't buy one thing! I feel very hot from walking as it is lovely and sunny out today. At least I got some steps in.

It is beautiful, I agree. I'm going to take a walk along the seafront whilst it is fine and get back to my desk when I am exercised. No chazzers will be abused in this process.

Eta: Ok, maybe they will
