Also I think I owe you all a picture of the camo jacket I mentioned in a previous post.

A little thrifting.
As you’ll know if you’re a frequent reader of Paige of
Fashion, I’m obsessed with all things vintage when it comes to fashion. I’ve
found over the years whilst shopping for such vintage pieces that the best place to
find them at reasonable prices is in charity shops. Most people for some
reason, which frankly I can’t understand, are squeamish when it comes to
charity shops. It’s true that it’s not a simple and easy as shopping in Newlook
or Topshop, but that’s part of the fun.
Searching the rails for something just right is what makes thrifting so
amazing. I mean, don’t get me wrong I love high-street shops, but every now and
then it’s nice to get something really unique at such small prices. Plus the
proceeds go to good causes so really, it’s guilt free shopping!
Today I popped down to my local charity shop and bought
myself a carpet fabric purse lined with real leather for 95p and a real leather
patch bag for £3.50. Seriously cheap, yet seriously cute and vintage.
I'm sure I'll post some more of my charity shop finds in the days to come!
Thanks for reading guys,
