Today I visited Barnet, a town near me that qualifies as a charity shoppers heaven - 7 all squeezed down one road! The prices of the vintage pieces aren't too high either, unlike in a few of my more local charity shops who seem to bump up the price of anything that could be deemed retro or vintage. Luck was clearly on my side today as I found some great pieces.


First up this cream crochet blouse. It's a lovely thick knit with pretty scalloped edges that I think will look perfect tucked into my levi shorts with a chunky belt. It also slightly reminds me of the doilies my nan keeps on her dining room table. The photo really doesn't do the top justice and for £3.50 it was my  best bargain of the day.



  I found these two jumpers hanging next to each other and couldn't decide between the two so just bought both, I'm a sucker for a good pattern. In all honesty I definitely don't need anymore winter jumpers and will probably sell both of these. (If anyone's interested leave a comment)





I'll end with what is probably my favourite charity shop buy EVER. A black spaghetti strap sundress with sunflowers on it! I've been after a sunflower dress for, no exaggeration, years. I had an image of exactly what I wanted in my mind and no dress ever lived up to these imaginary expectations, until today. I haven't actually tried said dress on yet, I was going to buy it whether it fitted or not as I knew it would sell well anyway. I'm preparing myself for the worst possible scenario, that I will have to part with my baby.. outcome to follow.
