A Little Charity Shop Bargain...

I recently popped into my local St Peter's Hospice shop while out with my friend and mum, and wanted to share with you some photos of the things I bought in there!

And by things I bought, I mean these boots:

 I know these might not be to everyone's tastes, but I love these, I love the tan colour, the wooden heel and I especially love the faux shearling on the front.  To me, these boots epitomise autumn. I saw one on the shelf as I was heading towards the till, and I just fell in love... Picked it up, and lo and behold, they're my size (6.5 - not the easiest size to come by), tried on its friend, and decided it was fate.  They were £8.50 which isn't a bad price at all, especially when I looked at the bottom, and inside, and realised they really hadn't been worn at all - perhaps just worn around someone's house, or just for long enough to realise the heel was too high for them. I'm not sure, but they're mine now!

 Yup, I've been trying them on at home, trying to work out what to wear them with - I've got a few tops which feel very autumnal, in burgundy, khaki and mustard shades, so I'm thinking of putting them together with some trusty black jeggings, or even tights and denim shorts.  Maybe pop on my ever faithful taupe aviator jacket. Very autumnal! Admittedly I probably won't be able to walk miles in them, but I think I will probably wear these babies until they are worn out!

 Just look at all that lack of wear by their previous owner!  I know charity shops might not seem like an obvious place to have a look if you are looking for something on trend, and season suitable, but I really want to show you that it can be done!  These boots were originally from Next, and I've had a little scout about on their website, and found that near enough exactly the same boot in black is currently selling for £75 new. Definitely a good feeling all round!

And finally, this is what I wanted to have a look for in there in the first place: books for the people kitten... These are the two that came home with us, for a bargainous price of 50p each!

In short: St Peter's Hospice Shop on Sandy Park Road, I heart thee!
