Hi everyone! I thought I would show you one of my newest thrift finds-this is from a newly opened charity shop in my local town, the Saint Francis Hospice and prices are really very reasonable. For the short time it's been open, I've managed to snag a couple of bargains from there already.
One of them being this Dorothy Perkins summer dress which to me is very vintage inspired. I really love black and floral's combined and the turquoise border at the bottom of the dress really adds that extra pop of colour:
The floral detailing and fit and flare style of the dress make it so stylish to wear for the hot weather we're having and the price of it-just £2.50 meant I snapped it up without trying it on! Unfortunately a lot of the charity shops where I live have either closed or purposely don't have changing rooms anymore due to high level of thefts. What a shame people feel they have to resort to stealing from a charity shop of all places, prices are generally so cheap I do feel it's so unnecessary and not nice at all for the charities involved. The same as bartering- I don't tend to barter in a charity shop unless an item is damaged and has not been shown as such on the label, then I will cheekily ask if I could have a small discount. Even if they did not reduce the item I would still buy it for the price shown.
Anyhow, the new to me dress got an outing earlier this week and I should have taken a back shot of it as it has lovely tie back detailing across the shoulders and the waist.
I am also wearing a pair of silver sandals that I bought quite a few years ago which were actually from my local Dorothy Perkins-they were a summer sale bargain at just £5 and are most comfortable too. I love metallic sandals for summer, but the pairs I have are really on their last legs and I will look forward to getting some new ones next summer.

really an amazing look for you, my dear!
Your beautiful smile matches the cheerfulness of the dress! Looks like you are enjoying your holiday...
That IS sad - that people would steal from a Charity Shop! Verifies what the Bible says about humanity - "...hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked." So in need of rescue & restoration.
Gorgeous dress Sharon, really love this! Looks fab on you x

Tough times, that people are resorting to shoplifting charity shops. :(
Gorgeous dress! You look fantastic in it! I love the silver sandals too.
Beautiful dress and you look fabulous! What a shame that people of resorting to stealing from charity shops. I know if our local area that people have stolen bags of donations that have left outside charity shops before they've opened. Very sad times indeed. xx
