The big car boot sale has started up again. It's within walking distance and it's open from the very Sunday morning friendly time of 10am. So off I trotted this morning (in the rain) and bagged the following beauties. Jolly exciting stuff as I've always been cursed by not being able to find plus sized nice stuff in car boot sales/charity shops and now I don't have that problem, hurrah!
I realise this may be a bit mad to be to everyone's taste but I love it! It's from Kookai and is going to thoroughly brighten up those dull autumn & winter days.
Pretty Zara kaftan/dress and a H&M top - both a bit snug at the moment but I expected that, and for 50p each you can't go wrong!
Well hello there beautiful New Look frock! Brand new, never worn, only £3? Muahahaha says Alex as she stuffs it in her bag and scampers away.
Brand new cute shoes, only 50p.
I am a board game and jigsaw geek, it's true.
And lots and lots of lovely books, all laid out on a handy Red or Dead canvas shopper with a fab print on it. If you haven't already got one, pop down to a Cancer Research shop and get one!
Sorry if my recent posts seem to be entirely consumerist!
Here's a quick peek at yesterday's outfit as today's was nothing to write home about. I'm not entirely sure about the hat - I have a massive head so I've got in the mindset that I don't suit hats and now, even when I try on one I like, I'm never quite sure if I just look silly or not.
Dress & cardi (which I know has featured a lot recently but I do take it off sometimes, honest) - Primark
Glads - Tesco
Hat - pinched from Dad
Bangles - birthday gift
Oh I do love a car boot sale and that Kookai coat is a stunner. What great buys, well done!

You got some great things there at that car boot - I wish I had one in walking distance - I've really caught the bug of wanting to go but I've got no one to go with (& don't drive y'see).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that Kookaii coat is bloody gorgeous.
Right, you can get out your head right now that hats don't suit you - coz that looks great! Wish I could pull off something like that! I like it even more because it was your Dad's :)
