Second Hand Shopper

Oops – Shopping Spree!

Posted by: Caroline on: November 14, 2007

What a lunch hour I had had today, thrift store fans! Look at all the goodies I got!

Thrift Mix Up

And yes, they are real ice skating boots, and they were a bargain! The yellow bag I plan on saving for spring – I’m now on the lookout for a vintage yellow belt and a brown and white print dress to team it with.

I’ve been looking for a navy handbag for ages and couldn’t resist the cute ruched wrist gloves that were sitting alongside!

Navy stuff

And as for these little beauties – I haven’t decided whether to keep them or ebay them – it will probably depend on how comfortable they are – but Mis Sixty ankle boots barely worn – look at them! Aren’t they pretty? Don’t you love the big brass stud on the ankle? Aren’t the half-cone heels fab? I love them!

Brown Accessories

Oh, and the vintage M&S bag’s a real gem too, though I wish the strap were longer.

And just for the record, what I wore today:

14thNov1 14Nov2

Beret: Primark, buttons added by me
Coat: thrifted, embroidery and buttons added by me
Black belt: Primark
Red bag: Primark
Grey wool tights: Boots Tights Boutique
Red boots: Fly London
Black slip (just seen): thrifted M&S
Grey and black dress: M&S
Black shrug cardi: George at Asda when I was in sixth form! I think I have worn it to death for the last 10 years!
Black full satin skirt with net underlay(just seen): Primark

I found if I didn’t add the skirt underneath the dress had a less flattering shape!

Wow, what a lot of goodies! I love days like that where you find tons of great stuff.
You look fab too, love the red boots!

OMG! those miss sixty boots are GORGEOUS! how much did you pay for ‘em?

Thanks Fi – I love my red boots too!

They’re lovely aren’t they Tamron, they were a mere £6.99! Closer inspection revealed one boot has lost its heel cap, but I have spare ones from multiple Topshop shoe buys, and no doubt one will fit!

Really good and really interesting post. I expect (and other readers maybe :) ) new useful posts from you!
Good luck and successes in blogging!

Oh, wonderful!
We expect more and more interesting and useful posts as same from you! :)
My compliments!

oh god, what size are those boots? if u decide to sell, how much are u looking for?

Hi Curellasays! The boots are a size 6 and now I’ve had them reheeled I am wearing them to death – I love them I’m afraid! Happens like that sometimes – I buy things with the intention to sell but they never quite make it onto ebay… :D
