Thrifting through town and a little update for you...


I know its been a 13 days precisely since i wrote a blog post because i have been a very busy bee recently! However I thought it was about time i updated so here we are now.

On Tuesday me and my friend Sarah went shopping, but we didn't go to your usual high-street shops oh no, WE WENT THRIFT SHOPPING  *cue Macklemore song* ok so no i'm not American and no i don't live near any thrift shops as such but correct me if i'm wrong here but i consider charity shops thrift shops because they sell old clothes and such do they not?

Personally I was surprised at the things they had in there, and how many there actually was in my home town! On the way to the bus stop we stopped by a little shop which was seriously the tiniest place i had ever come across but was jam packed with bargains. This does mean that i picked up an item, of two should i say as shoes come in pairs! Ok so i got really excited because i can never find shoes my size in any of these kind of shops they are always smaller sizer or larger sizes or just things i would never wear at all. However as soon as i walked in it was like a slow motion eye opening moment when i saw these high-heeled burgundy shoes and my face was honestly priceless!

I picked these shoes up and inspected them further (you can never be too careful with these shops, people give them away for a reason) and found that A) they had probably been warn only twice because they were in amazing condition, the heel wasn't even warn down for crying out loud! B) They were a size 5 and fit perfectly! and C) THEY WERE NEW LOOK SHOES! which can i just say are normally 20 quid which is a bargain anyways but for £4.50 (yes i did just say that) I don't think i could complain at all could I? Plus I felt good handing the money over to the women at the counter because i knew that money would go to someone in need or an establishment that caters for people in certain circumstances.

Unfortunatly our luck had ran out there as we couldn't find anything else as amazing as those shoes *sad face* but i promised Sarah we would find some more bargains elsewhere :) I would love to hear your stories on your 'Thrift shopping experiences' so please feel free to comment below your stories and ill make sure to read them!

Thanks for reading,
