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....

You Can Find Me in the Lanes.....
Once again I've taken far too many photos and can't seem to cut any out of this post! As I mentioned in my post about Brighton I did a fair bit of shopping in the famous Lanes recently...
The North Laines are full of lovely Vintage thrift stores if that kinda stuff is your cuppa tea, Snoopers Paradise is a haven for gorgeous pieces of Jewellery, clothing, and all sorts of beautifully restored furniture. I could really spend hours in here, my favourite part being the painted stairs (I will recreate this one day)
£5 for a Hawaiian shirt!! How are more men not rocking this amazing look!
Stunning decorations all over the place at Snoopers Attic and just look at this magical staircase.....
The wonderful Beyond Retro where I purchased a lovely Vintage floral playsuit and a pretty flower crown to add to my ever growing collection. This place is just perfect... I always find something that I want to take home with me, the selection of men and women's clothes, shoes, bags etc is huge. The prices are really good as well.
I think I need to start saving again for my next trip!!
