So a few days ago I went to a car boot sale and was meant to be selling all of my items however a few things caught my eye and I had to buy them! I really recommend car boot sales and I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing they are. Honestly, if your feeling worried about buying second hand things then please don't!
The day you buy your first second hand item of clothing you'll never turn back. I mean don't get me wrong I love buying new things too but items from charity shops and car boot sales are so cheap and can be so amazing. Not only did I pick up a few items that I am really happy with I also made £60! Wasn't a bad trip at all!
This is the first dress that caught my eye and my favourite purchase from the car boot. I really love the colours and the pattern. I wore this yesterday and received many compliments to which I proudly responded 'thanks so much, it was only £1.50 from a car boot sale'. Their response went along the lines of ':O'.
So yeah back to the dress. It's so pretty and can be either dressed up or down. I teamed it with a bag I got from turkey (not a real mulberry but never the less its a beautiful bag) which I think goes with this dress perfectly. The colours match perfectly! One of my most favourite things in the world is when I buy something new and it matches one of my favourite bags (strange I know). I also often plan ahead and think 'hm will that match one of my bags at home'.
This is my second favourite purchase from the car boot and for 35p it was an absolute bargain. Yes, you heard me right, 35p. I couldn't believe it when I picked up tonnes of clothes and she only said one pound for all of them. See, this is why car boots are a must. This dress is so pretty and would be great for a night out or for a day out. It could either be dressed up or dressed down once again like the first dress I bought. I dressed it down with a denim jacket.
I also adore the material of this dress. Chiffon is one of my favourite materials for items of clothing. I feel that it looks classy yet edgy at the same time. White is also one of my favourite colours for a dress though I do often like bright colours/patterns. I suppose you could say that white is bright though as it's a colour that really stands out. If you read my blog often then you will know that I constantly wear white nail varnish. I just love it! This dress could be teamed with a number of bags due to the fact that white goes with just about everything. Another reason why I love it.
My third and final purchase from the car boot is this bright skirt. I did buy another skirt for 35p though the waist is absolutely tiny and wont go anywhere near me! Another advantage of a car boot sale is that if the item you buy doesn't fit then it doesn't matter as they're so cheap in price. You can also return and just sell it the next time you go which is what I plan to do. This was also only 35p so once again was an absolute bargain.
What really drew me to this was the bright colours. As I said I'm a sucker for bright colours and fresh white! I'm also a sucker for black and white monochrome looks at the moment but that's another story. I really like how pretty the patterns are and this can also be worn as a top meaning a skirt and top in one all for 35p!
