I too love "second hand" stuff though I agree that it is easier to find lovely stuff in the smaller sizes, I was having a wander round the charity shops yesterday and there was loads of fab stuff in size 10, but I only managed a cardigan for myself in my somewhat larger size. I really enjoyed the challenge you gave to Vix and am looking forward to following your challenge too.xxxLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069341346858567528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-35484538373547275672010-08-18T21:24:53.562+01:002010-08-18T21:24:53.562+01:00For some stupid reason your blog doesn't come ...For some stupid reason your blog doesn't come up on my dashboard thingy. :(<br />I love those shoes, so cute, and well done taking up the challenge!<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731699334337877594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-2636844306876638272010-08-18T20:10:24.642+01:002010-08-18T20:10:24.642+01:00thank you to vix for introducing you! great challe...thank you to vix for introducing you! great challenge you gave her. she went above and beyond. i will peep in to see what you come up with. i do love a kitten heel with kittens too. kitten babootin. love from the arizona desert!Sam Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309955693419787404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-73674825797714948722010-08-15T11:11:11.931+01:002010-08-15T11:11:11.931+01:00Gorgeous shoes!

I don't even know why. I can't help it, & I'm trying to be less so.. & since having started blogging I'm definitely more open to the idea.. however, everything I've ever bought on eBay (& that's a hell of a lot!) has been 'brand new with tags'.. although I suppose it still counts as second-hand, being that someone else bought it first..!?<br /><br />I recently bought 4 second-hand books from my local library (which is moving premises so therefore selling off a load of books) for the grand total of.. wait for it.. £1.70! Now that seriously is a bargain, right!? I was rather proud of that. 30p each for 3 paperbacks & then 80p for a hardback - can't go wrong! & they're all in decent nick - two of them look pretty much brand new!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more of this challenge :)<br /><br />www.heart-shaped-bruise.blogspot.comheartshapedbruise.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840346001226606916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-90817853022624656502010-08-13T09:05:13.535+01:002010-08-13T09:05:13.535+01:00Those shoes are fab!!!

I can't go past a charity shop without hunting down a book. And I often tell myself its okay to buy so many because there (substantially) cheaper than buying brand new.<br /><br />The shoes are fabulous, I am much an Irregular Choice admirer, although I have only ever owned 2 pairs, and one I later sold on eBay. But I guess one day for a special occasion it would be lovely to be able to go and buy a pair.<br />The ribbon detailing is lovely xAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276217187016872792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-91075426624994135702010-08-12T09:49:17.287+01:002010-08-12T09:49:17.287+01:00Adorable shoes, great buying.

Combined with that sexy pencil skirt you look amazing.<br />I'm so with you on the "thrifted" word, fine for our American sisters but we're Brits and it's "second-hand" all the way. <br />Oh yes, synthetic fabric is actually wonderful. The old-school variety (Rayon, tricel, dicel, crimplene, orlon) is hardwearing, wrinkle resistant and when travelling I can wash it in the sink and it's dry in less than an hour. I swear they stopped producing it because clothes never wore out and women weren't buying enough. Modern day viscose and acrylic is a limp and shoddy affair and best avoided.<br />xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-89079248271004297182010-08-12T06:31:09.787+01:002010-08-12T06:31:09.787+01:00Those shoes are incredible!!Those shoes are incredible!!Danielle @ Story of Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964975538552685474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6307704515809716636.post-725165185960178802010-08-12T02:40:22.179+01:002010-08-12T02:40:22.179+01:00Those shoes are way too cool!

Toooo adorable!!<br />Opshop is short for Opportunity Shop,and is the same as a charity shop.Thrifting is an American term,thier opshops are called thrift shops,generally,and I don't like it when other Antipodeans call opshopping thrifting,as we opshop,not thrift,always have.I think they are just sucking up to or trying to get onside with the Yanks-you know the ones,the clones.I use the term second hand a lot,and adore second hand bookshops too!Ecstasy! Our Trade Me is like Ebay,but NZ only,and frequently overpriced.I try and spot bargains,and usually manage it.Car boot sales-I think they happen,but not sure where!<br />Over & out! xxxHelgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746988714522496958noreply@blogger.com
