My magic wardrobe


Cardigan £2.70    Broderie Anglaise blouse £3

Are you sitting comfortably
Then I'll begin



Once upon a time there was a 61 and three quarters year 
old lady  who couldn't pass a charity shop without going in

Belt £1     Top £2

One day a man stopped her on the street and told her he followed 
her Instagram page.  Don't worry she's known him for years.
He said "I hope you don't mind me asking, but where do you put
all your clothes, you seem to have an awful lot".

This lovely top was £2.70

I have a magic wardrobe I told him that swallows it all up.
Its like Narnia.

Jumper with lace undershirt attached £5
it still had its original label of £25 attached

It matters not whether he thinks I'm loopy or not.
He probably thinks I am anyway as I was dancing down the street 
at the time he saw me.

Shrug £2

The magic thing about charity shop shopping 
is that I can find a weeks worth of outfits most times for less than a meal out
Even the wandering welder husband is a canny shopper 

Shirt £1

Not only that I am recycling.

I made that saying up years ago when I was recycling things I found on the 
moorland near me and made it into art work.

A week in my thrifted wardrobe


Monday
I do love a good charity shop find
 like this orange H&M skirt at £2.49 and cardigan £2.50


Tuesday
 was a special birthday lunch with friends,
one of who was 70 so we treated her to a posh nosh.
Dress made from a curtain.


Wednesday
Looks like I've been seriously drawn to orange this week


Thursday 
This skirt and jacket are favourites of mine
Wool jacket £7


Friday
I'm still wearing that mustard cardigan with yet another curtain skirt


Saturday
 I wore the jacket I had got the week before for £4.50
in the RSPCA shop


Sunday
Back in a curtain frock and a tricel cardigan.
Seen here with Mr Dapper Chap and gorgeous friend Vix.




Monday
and I am wearing this fab Missoni-esque dress from 
friend Vix of Kinky Melon Retro Boutique who was trading at 
Stockport Vintage Village on Sunday.  
Its teamed with charity shop belt and crotchet top.  Fly London boots
and biker jacket because the weather has turned cold again
