A new outfit for mum

When my children were very small and to this day really most of my money goes on them. I have always loved to buy them clothes and I love for them to look nice. Some clothes have been passed down, many bought in the sales, often thrifted, sometimes altered to fit but always a priority that they look good.

Somewhere along the line I began to neglect myself. Partly due to money I stopped having my hair coloured I put on (a lot) of weight and lived lived i tell you in leggings and jeggings.

Slowly as my children get older and I reclaim more of a sense of myself as a woman not just a mother I have begun to take more care of myself/ ( hey I even wrote a beauty review last week!)

I still don’t have much money so my eyes are always on the look out for a bargain (but a bargain for me!) I found this lovely Spring blouse (M&S Indiigo collection) with a gorgeous wool (Olsen) cardigan to match. A new outfit for mum !

new oufit for mum

The outfit came to a grand total of £7 . It is in pristine condition and would have cots over £100 bought new. I will get a lot of wear out of the two,  seperately and together.  It will look fab with jeans and my white converse in spring or with beige capris in summer.

Lovely.

I shall have to do this treating myself a bit more often. After all I am still being thrifty!

    Really fantastic finds Becky! As you say, they will look fab together and separately. It is always a thrill to find lovely things in charity shops.

    What a lovely outfit Becky! Don’t you just love finding real quality items for a steal of a price. My wardrobe is crammed full these days of charity shop finds. I find it really hard to go high street shopping now (not that I can afford to) xx
