On a visit into town earlier this week I had a couple of errands to do which took quicker than I had anticipated, so with time on my hands, I obviously had a browse in my local charity shops. Well, in the last shop on the way out, I spotted this mass of print on the rail, pulled it out and spied it was a Marc Jacobs skirt in my size!!
It had to be snapped up for a bargainous £8.99-from the Heart Foundation charity shop. I'm not sure what year its from, but it certainly suits the vibrant print and ethnic trend for this summer, so I'll be wearing it often!!
My best bargain of the year to date!!

Are those drawstrings? Laces? Cool...
I love it. Very Native American, and love how you paired it with denim. Definitely a piece you will wear a lot.
hey sharon, you outfitted the skirt perfectly!
Love the colours on you, great find x
What a fantastic skirt. I love the print and the way it works so well with the denim jacket and brown boots. I think BHF have the best charity shops.
omgosh, what a great find! it's a beautiful skirt and i agree, definitely just in time for the spring trend of tribal prints:)

Hi everyone-thanks for the lovely comments, the skirt indeed does have lace drawstrings-one around the waist and one each on the pockets!!
Gorg find, and you can wear it all seasons so even more of a bargain!
brilliant find, love the colors! very nice with the boots. have a lovely weekend too!
OH, Sharon! I agree! An extremely great bargain! You have framed it beautifully with that jacket and boots. You've set me off an a "skirt safari"! Sure hope I stumble on something even close to yours.
What a find, Sharon! Regardless of the posh label it's something I would have instantly grabbed, the style and wonderful ethnic print are exquistite.
Just goes to show that there are plenty of fabulous finds in charity shops if you've got a good enough eye.
Great outfit!

Pretty skirt, it's such a lovely print. And what a great price!

What a great vintage find. That skirt is going to look great with ballet flats this summer.
Gorgeous find! I live the colours of this skirt, you can wear them with almost everything and always (spring, summer....fall). I'm going to thrift colorful, light skirts like yours.
Great find! Love the color. All the best on a splendid weekend!

Hi ladies-all so kind of you, thanks so much!!
Fab find, Sharon, love that print x
What an amazing find! The Heart Foundation charity shops in my area seem to give the better clothes to up-market vintage shops. The combination with the sleeveless denim jacket is perfect.

Hi Sharon!
wow! You've done it again! :)
you know, I've just had an idea and I thought I'd share it with you. How about you write a quick little book on thrift shopping in London- tips, places to go, etc. And then sell it here on your blog. I think it will be a big hit! What do you think? :)

Hi LaMimi-so kind of you, thanks for your lovely comment, its a good idea but I will most probably use my blog for giving out tips and inspiration on thrifting, I feel more comfortable expressing myself this way!!
Oh my goodness, you did it AGAIN Sharon? You are amazing and super lucky!
I LOVE it! you definitely have to pass me the list of your local charity shops! haha, I need to go there! I never find anything in mines:(!
