Here's an example, what I am wearing today.
First the jacket. I wanted a light coloured jacket that I could wear on cooler summer days really. I bought this one from eBay for £4 and decorated it with some cheap iron-on rose embroideries. The jacket has been brought up to date!
Next the jeans. I bought these from a local charity shop. They were brand new, and I think I paid about £5 for them. They fit perfectly except that they were a bit long. So I turned them up, double stitching the hems as they were originally.
The top is new and is from Lidl. I think it was about £6!
So whole outfit for £15. Bargain!
What a really lovely outfit. I like your jacket. The rose appliqués are a nice touch. eBay is great isn't it? What a bargain for the whole lot. Xx
ReplyDeleteI love how you customized the jacket with those iron on appliqués. I also applaud your decision not to buy any new clothes this year. You'll get so much more satisfaction from your clothes if you sew them yourself (wish I could do that, sigh!) or buying from charity shops, where perfectly good nearly new items can be found for a fraction of the price. You did really well on those jeans. xxx
