My latest vintage purchases

Firstly, apologies for not posting for a while. I have been recovering from an operation but all is good now and I am still keeping up with my thrifting and bargain hunting.

Here are some of my latest goodies for you to enjoy!

Remember the floods at the beginning of this year? Last month I was caught in one of the many torrential downpours while on my way to meet with some work colleagues. I was soaked and I happened to be passing Dorothy Perkins. I found this striped 1960s style dress in there for £10 and it looks great dressed up with wedge boots and black tights or dressed down with flat knee high boots.

I found this treasure in a brilliant vintage shop in Stroud Gloucestershire, called Duffle Vintage Outfitters. It's packed full of retro furniture and at the back of the (recently expanded) shop you can find rails crammed with original and quirky numbers like this one. I was looking for something a bit different for a winter wedding and this was ideal. The photo does not do it justice and you can not see the cute buttons which run all the way down the back of the dress. I wore this with thick black tights, high black wedges and a birdcage headpiece.

Cirencester has some of the best charity shops. A few can be a little pricey but with at least eight charity shops you can afford to shop around a bit. This is one of my latest purchases bought for the princely sum of £4 and with the tags still in. I have been wearing it to work (on the more warmer days of this year so far) with thick blue tights and blue Mary-Jane shoes. 


I just love this jumper that I picked up recently from the Cancer Research Charity shop. It's perfect for the chilly spring days and it's also lovely and soft. For £3 you can't really complain! I wore it this week with a short denim skirt, brown belt and blue Converse high-tops. 


And to prove that it's not all about the clothes, let me introduce you to my new mantlepiece clock. Close-up this has a shabby-chic finish and looks just right in my lounge. This set me back £9.60 (in the sale with 20% off) from Cargo.

I look forward to updating you soon with more of my finds,
