I have recently seemed to have amazing luck when thrifting at car boots and charity shops recently. I picked so much up that I started to feel like I had a slight problem. I find it really interesting reading about what people have bought from car boots or charity shops even american thrift shop hauls have become a real obsession of mine. So I thought I would share with you what I bought of late. Please comment below if you would like to see more of these :)
So firstly I went to a huge carboot sale in Norfolk which I can find the name of if anybody wants. They has almost 200 sellers there and I always seem to find some really nice gems. Here's what I picked up...
Firstly I found this really nice vintage paisley scarf. I don't quite know how I will wear it yet but maybe as a hair turban or attached to one of my bags. It cost me 50p.
I got this really nice Lantern for 50p which I am planning to put a candle in.
I picked up the first four seasons of breaking bad for £6 which I thought was really good saying how much they would cost new or even at a charity shop.
I bought these four nail varnishes for 50p each and they were all brand new. I got a No7 one in the shade Rose Truffle and two Avon polishes in Opalesce and Sea Breeze.
I picked up this really pretty dress for £1, it was originally from Primark so probably didn't cost much more new but it was in brilliant condition and fits perfectly.
I picked up this corduroy burgundy shirt for 50p. You can get these regularly in vintage shops but they cost about £10. It did smell of smoker when I bought it but that faded after the first wash. Apart from the smell the shirt was in great condition.
I absolutely fell in love with this 60's style floral shirt. It cost me £1 and I was so happy have to admit, although I have no idea what brand it is as its label was cut out but the quality seemed like a Topshop number.
I picked this 80s floral shirt up for 50p, it originally came with shoulder pads but I cut them out. It looks great tucked into a denim skirt.
This is a very simple white blouse from Next that i picked up for 50p, I thought it would make a good staple piece in my wardrobe and for 50p I can't complain.
I then picked up this dropped hem striped dress from Topshop. The seller originally wanted £5 for it but I managed to haggle it down to £2. It was brand new with tags when I bought it so the price was a bit more. It looks great on with a denim jacket.
This was one of my its cheap and could be useful purchases... its like a lacey jacket thing that I got for 50p and I probably will wear it once and then give it to a charity shop to be honest but i thought it would be nice in the summer with a floral dress.
This is a mans Primark shirt so not something I would usually pick up but I really liked the colours in the tartan. I will probably wear it with a band t-shirt and some jeans.
This dress is one of my favorite buys. I picked it up for 50p! Its a Chelsea Girl dress and the sleeves are literally the best thing ever they so flared i cant wait to wear it and swish around in it. I am planning to wear it to reading festival this year as its a great piece but I wont feel like I wasted my money if I ruin it.
Then I went to my local charity shops and picked up this golden yellow jumper for about £5. I not only love the colour but the style of the jumper... lets just say if Topshop was selling it I would buy it in 5 different colours.
I picked this shirt up on a website called Vinted that I have been loving at the moment, its a bit like Depop but you can access it online as well as through a phone. I originally saw it in Urban outfitters for about £20 on sale and decided it was too expensive. A few months later I found it for around £10 with shipping so I was happy. It is worth waiting and looking on Vinted or E-bay a few months later and getting a much better price for some clothes.
I picked this crochet cardigan up in a charity shop for about £7, which I thought was a good deal saying they're like £40 on Asos. But this piece will be great for the summer and is very durable.
Finally I picked up this Urban outfitters shirt in the charity shop for £5. It has a really nice shape and fits me really well.
I hope you enjoyed my haul, apologies for the length of it. I also bought a Topshop denim jacket for 50p which I thought was an amazing deal but I forgot to take a photo of it. Would you like me to do a look book with the clothes for summer or a festival? Also if you have any questions about car booting or charity shops please comment below.
