If you are looking for some charity shop inspiration this year, here are three of my favourite charity shop finds. I can guarantee that almost any charity shop in the UK will have at least one of these items on its rails!
The Knitted Jumper
I can’t take credit for this find as it was a present from my sister (she has assured me though that it is genuine charity shop). It brightens up any outfit and is really warm – it’s also a good fit which is unusual for a charity shop find. These jumpers are always popular around Christmas (Topshop would sell one like this for at least £30) but I wear it throughout winter as the pattern isn’t too Christmassy.
The Retro Suitcase
I found this little antler suitcase in the Uxbridge RSPCA shop last year, and I’ve used it loads. There’s enough space for a few changes of clothes and a pair of shoes, so I use it when I’m going home to see my parents for the weekend. These suitcases are a nice alternative to a weekender bag, but not so practical for flying as they’ve got no wheels!
The Checked Shirt
I’m not sure whether this is supposed to be a mens or womens shirt but it fits me pretty well, so I’m hoping womens! It doesn’t really matter with shirts like this though – if they are a bit big you can just wear them with leggings or use them as an extra layer. There’s also the option of altering them slightly to fit better – you can find out how in Becky’s blog post Ways With Old Shirts.
If you have any charity shop favourites we’d love to hear about them! Send us a picture and we’ll include it in our next post 🙂
