My Charity Shop Outfit....( Part 2 )

Thanks for all the shoe love on my last post :) I thought it only fair to share the dress I bought too. It was from the British Heart Foundation  and a charity close to my own heart as Master Poppins himself has a heart condition, that I talk a little about here

I was already wearing THE shoes and in the CS there was a special rail dedicated to new, never been worn dresses. Many of them designer, I couldn't resist a little looksy....

I found this swing label attached to a dress....

I have to say I adore Coast dresses, they are really lovely for special occasions, so I wanted to get a closer look. The price tag said £15.00...eeek. Though was a brand new dress, you could tell it had never been worn, and as a charity I am very close to, £15 really is a mere drop in the ocean, but it all helps.

It was so very pretty with a lovely bandeau style, boned, and in my size too.

A lovely trim to the bottom of it....

So I tried it on, and the lovely ladies in the shop wanted a little look, so when I stepped out of the dressing room wearing the dress with THE shoes, they all of course, being super sales people, said it looked lovely and I should buy it. Well, I did have a special occasion coming up, and they said I could have some pennies knocked off as, even though it had fabric loops inside, it didn't seem to have any little straps that you sometimes get with dresses like these. So, now it had gone from £15.00 to £11.00, and I probably wouldn't wear the straps anyway. Also, when I thought of my £2.99 shoes with this dress, that would make the grand total of £13.99 for a lovely little outfit. Oh go on then, so bought it I did, and popped a little extra in the charity tin by the till :)

What I quite like about the dress is that it urrmmmm, how can I put it...makes me look a little bigger than I actually am, you know upstairs, I have never been blessed in that department ;)) And here I am, wearing it for that special occasion, a lovely summer garden party a dear friend was having.

Who says if you buy cheap, you have to look cheap. I don't think many people at the party could have guessed I was tootling around in my £13.99 charity outfit!!
