Charity Shop Bargains: Barnado's

Hey!

So today I managed to pop into Barnado's 'Save The Children' charity shop down in Benwell. I'm a frequent visitor so the lady who owns the shop smiled as I breezed in and hastened to tell me that ".. all clothing items are half price."

HALF PRICE?! Oh joy of joys! 
I managed to pick up only five items: (the restraint was incredible - I wanted it all, really,) three jumpers and two tops. The week before I managed to pick up some heeled ankle boots from there as well so I've included them below.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, but never really had the time or drive to start. Recently, though, someone I know persuaded me to focus on what makes me happy, and not be afraid of what people said about it. Well, fashion makes me happy, and the best way to share my love of it is through blog format, so that's what I'm doing.


I think my main focus when it comes to buying clothes is showing people that they don't have to buy expensive items to look good. I'm a great advocate of charity shopping (or 'thrifting', as they call it over the Atlantic,) and I want other people to see that it is possible to get on-trend, good quality clothing for under a fiver! 

I also plan on sharing makeup tips, tricks and tutorials; outfit-of-the-day posts; and day-to-day write-ups. 

Anyway, I hope whoever reads this enjoys it, and that you'll come back regularly.

Love, The Second Hand Scrunchie Shopper X
