The Bargain Dress

I have to be honest when I pop into a Tesco store the last thing on my mind is clothes, having said that I'm definitely not one to turn down a bargain so I just couldn't resist this Aztec smock dress when I saw it on the sale rail for a teeny £6! I wasn't even sure if I would like the fit and the colour seemed a little bold for me but for £6 there was no way I was leaving Tescos without it.

After trying it on I fell in love with it, the fit is very fitted on the arms and chest and the bottom half hangs beautifully. The 3/4 sleeves make this dress perfect for any time of year, I love wearing this with my vintage fur stole for a more wintery feel, I have also been pairing this dress with my latest charity shop find, a stunning silk scarf that cost a mere £2. I think the colours work so well together. Who would have thought you could create an outfit for £8! Be sure to check out your local charity shop, you can usually always find great buys like silk scarves, vintage jewellery, jumpers....

Have you got any bargains lately?

Bargain Hunting

I can’t think of a better way to spend my afternoon that bargain hunting, where I live the best place to go shopping is definitely Brighton, the Brighton lanes have so many vintage and second hand shops that you could easily spend hours and hours in.
Some of my favourite shops are Snoopers Paradise, To be Worn Again and  Beyond Retro, if there’s a bargain to be had then is it definitely in the Lanes, I mean forget Topshop and Urban Outfitters, the things you can find in the Lanes are one of a kind! And who wouldn’t want that.
Another place to pick up a steal is Arundel, as well as being picturesque and a lovely place to have afternoon tea, it is also full of little cute shops, my favourite being the second hand vintage market place near the Castle. Here is where I picked up my second hand camera which I use for decoration but I am told it is still fully functioning!! You walk into a room completely full of cameras, mine was £15!!
Don’t think you need to live somewhere with lots of Vintage shops though! Charity shops are by far the best place to pick up things for the home. Especially for things like glassware. So next time you walk pass Cancer Research or the Cats Protection make sure you pop your head in!!
