Suede Shirt Viyella (Charity Shop) | Skirt New Look | Tights Primark | Boots F&F Clothing
You’ll have seen me harping on recently about some of the amazing finds I’ve come across when I went bargain hunting in my local charity shops. We are really lucky as we have a St.Gemma’s Hospice and Martin House both on our doorstep. We also live in quite an affluent area so if you look hard enough you can find plenty of good wears. One of them happened to be this 100% suede shirt from Viyella. I don’t think I could have found anything more on trend if I had have tried.
I love a good rummage at the charity shop. There’s always something that can be bought and given a new lease of life. One mans junk is another man’s treasure and all that. I couldn’t quite believe my luck when I found this baby though. I was actually at the till already paying for what I had found and in the corner of my eye I saw this on the end of a rail. I thought it had been a men’s rail so hadn’t bothered looking any further round the store, but I just had to double check this one. And woe-behold it was a ladies shirt, but in a size 8 (WAAA!) but as it turns out it’s a rather large size 8 and it fits like a glove.
Now, suede on suede can or can’t work, more often the latter, but I decided to be daring and pair it with my suedette skirt I got from New Look back in the summer – I’m surprised it hasn’t featured on the blog yet. Paired with some thick tights and black boots it’s great for a day time date with your girlfriends – I can say I was suitably happy with how the look came together.
Again, I can’t seem to keep away from the brown palette that’s scattered up and down the high street at the moment. It’s so autumnal and it’s time I started embracing the seasonal trends despite not enjoying the darker nights.
Have you found any amazing buys at a local charity shop? Do you shop at charity shops regularly? I’d love to hear from you.
