Cosy Knit Cardi Thrift Find

Late October, I was on the search for a light coloured cardigan and was really pleased to find this wool knit oatmeal one. Its by River Island and what I love about it is the deconstructed style to it-its short at the back and has a longer asymmetric style to the front, a stylish alternative to a basic cardigan I think.

I found it at Oxfam for only £3.50 and I've been wearing it already, with jeans and a tee. Whats your favourite cosy knit so far for this winter?

Thomas Burberry-Recent Thrift Find

Well, its mid December and I haven't thrifted anything so far this month, although I have had a mini sort out in the wardrobe to donate some things to charity.

I thought I'd show you one of last months finds. The Thomas Burberry brand was a diffusion line for Burberry but unfortunately the company took the decision to discontinue the line in January of this year.

I found this grey striped smock style dress in the Salvation Army for just £5.99. Its perfect for winter as I can wear a polo neck jumper and opaque tights and boots underneath.

I don't normally wear dresses in winter, but this is a perfect day dress for casual wear and it will be a versatile item come summer too!

Loving Leopardprint!!

I'm a real fan of leopardprint-I've a pair of leopardprint shoes, a faux fur vintage leopardprint coat and now, thanks to my boot sale find last month, I've now a leopardprint bag.

Its by River Island and is a lightweight slouchy number which I've already started using regularly! For only £3, It was certainly a bargain buy!

Will you be get the leopardprint buzz this season?

Knitted and Layered for winter, plus the values of thrifting

Whilst browsing the charity shops last month, I decided I wanted a chunky knit, in the way of a cardi, jumper or poncho or cape-these are much in trend this season and a great stylish cover up, advocated by the Telegraph-check out their article

So, I was really pleased to pick up this hand knitted, fitted style poncho, for a bargainous £2.50 in the Cancer Research charity shop. I loved it as soon as I saw it especially for the chunkiness and the hand made bobbles and fringing, plus it is super cosy over my Uniqlo heatech polo neck jersey.

I would say that ponchos or capes were not really number one choice on my radar, but when you are thrifting, you can really try different styles out, even if they turn out to be a one season wonder-just donate it over to the charity shops if it proves not to be a keeper.

I will even wear this with a chunky brown leather belt too-I think this would work well over a body con style dress.
