I have been charity-shopping a lot recently, due to my student budget being reduced.. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation so I shall not complain! Also, I love charity shops and vintage clothes, so it could be worse :)
Anyway, here are my latest vintage finds: first up is this 50s inspired coat: I often find that most vintage coats are too long for me, but when I tried this one on it fit perfectly! Actually the sleeves are slightly too short but I don't care! I really love the (fake) shearling collar, and for 10£ I think this coat was too lovely to be left behind!
Next is a cute cat pendant necklace that I got for 2£ in my local charity shop (which is a mere 10-minute-walk from my house, I discovered it recently and I'm so happy!) I love cats, and I like old fashion accessories i.e the kind of things my grandma could have in her jewellery box.. So this one was perfect!
Coat, necklace & cardigan: vintage // brogues & top: Topshop // jeans & rings: Primark
The cardigan on the right is nothing special, but I like the buttons and it's really warm, plus it has black suede patches, and was just 3£. The grey top is from Topshop, it's longer at the back which is nice, a great basic, I should probably get it in other colours!
On another note, it's really high time for me to get a proper haircut, my hair is too long, my fringe has disappeared and it looks crap in general! Any suggestions?
