Charity shop madness
If it weren't for the fact that it would only encourage me to spend money, I would totally start a blog about my love of charity shops. I mean, I LOVE charity shops. Why? Well in two charity shop stops this week, I nabbed:
3 Ralph Lauren shirts (for Antoine)
1 Burberry rugby shirt (for Antoine)
1 Banana Republic shirt (for Antoine)
2 Timberland shirts (for Antoine)
1 Ralph Lauren shirt (for Antoine's mother, Claire)
1 Paul Frank monkey t-shirt (for ME!)
1 Valentino sweater (for ME!)
Here's the other thing I've discovered: Scouring charity shops for myself is fun, but doing it for other people - especially when they haven't asked you to - is even more fun! A couple of weeks ago, one of my charity shop trips yielded a nice DKNY top for me. Which was nice. But the Escada suit, Armani jacket, Laura Ashley skirt, Laura Ashley trousers, and MaxMara jacket that I got for Antoine's mother? Was awesome. And the time before that, the Ghost bias-cut dress that I got for Hillary (originally intended for Antoine's mother) gave me a huge buzz.
I could go on. Indeed, I want to go on. But it might just bankrupt me.
