Wearing: Topshop jeans, Gap striped tee, Topshop cardigan via charity shop, Primark brogues and rabbit ring, metallic leather bag via charity shop, GOGO PHILIP necklace
On: Sunday 5th December
For: Putting up the Christmas decorations
I had the.best.time at my favourite charity shop on Saturday. After a few weeks off the thrifting scene, I was delighted to uncover a whole host of second hand goodies on my return. This gorgeous russet red Topshop wool cardigan was just £4, and the sparkly arm candy came in at £8. Not the cheapest of pieces, but definitely among the prettiest.
I wanted to be casual yet cosy for a day grappling with fairy lights and fir trees, so kept my outfit simple. There’s always room for something gold and glamorous though, and this beautiful tassel necklace kindly sent to me by GOGO PHILIP was the perfect finishing touch.
PS – Have you entered my First Day of Christmas giveaway yet? No? Off you pop then!
I love it when it’s one of those amazing thrifty days, the ones that you just seem to uncover the bestest things all in one go. You got a whole host of delights, I think I would quite like a metallic leather bag, it screams look at me (in a good way) and the buckle detail is lovely xx
I’m a complete sucker for stripes, so I absolutely love this! And that’s a pretty good price for the gorgeous cardi, too – where I am, they always seem to mark Topshop stuff up, so it can end up almost as expensive as it was in the shop (well, OK, not quite, but you know what I mean…)
The Topshop cardi looks as if you could have got it from this seasons Topshop offerings – such a lovely rust colour. I’m very envious of all your thrift finds, you must have such a better eye than me for spotting charity shop gems! x
I love the colour of that Cardi, I would never have though to have put it with the striped top but it works so well. This is why I love blogs, they help you think about things your normally wouldnt. Its helped me be a bit more adventurous.

Your jeans fit you like a dream!! 🙂
Love the outfit – the cardi’s great!
Congrats on finding that sweater, that was a really REALLY good find!
Your hair looks seriously amazing. I wish I had the guts to go all the way but I don’t dare so I’m keeping it asymetrical for time being! Bag is lovely too, I’m so jealous of people who find amazing stuff in charity shops, all I ever come out with is books!
Well worth £8 to put a smile on your face!
Such bargains. Still need to make a trip to St. Gemma’s since you speak so highly of it. Love the bag especially xx
That russet colour seriously suits you beautifully! And what a find on the bag, it’s very Mulberry-esque.

The glitz of the bag with the casual outfit works so well.
Still loving your hair heaps.

The topshop cardi was a great find – the colour is just right for you 🙂
The Topshop cardi is so lovely. I’m off to my local charity shops today for the first time in a month, so I’m excited to see what I’ll find.
