Sunday Sustainable Fashion Pick

This week I've joined forces with Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care to share my Top 10 tips for savvy charity shopping, which you can find below. So I wanted to reshare one of my favourite outfits from our recent charity catwalk show, which was all sourced from RGP charity shops in St Albans and their online ebay shop.

This outfit ticked lots of the trend boxes, including sheer top, embroidered florals, wide leg trousers and embellished shoes. Can you believe these J Crew Suede sandals with embellishment were only ￡7.50?! I loved picking out the colours from the prints in the outfit in the handbag, to make the outfit pop! Doesn't Crishi look amazing?!

If the thought of shopping fills you with dread and overwhelm, why not book in for my popular Personal Shopping? Utilise my time & expertise to nail an outfit, mini capsule wardrobe or specific item such as jeans (with a pre shop done by me). We can do this in person or I can shop for you, online. It saves you time and money and gives you the confidence to try things you would never have looked at! Find out more and book on the link

Things I Enjoyed This Week...

Top 10 Tips for Savvy Charity Shopping...

Know Your Local Shops

1.Visit the Rennie Grove Peace ￡2 store in Harpenden for some amazing bargains when you need to refresh your wardrobe at a lower cost.

2. If you’re looking for something special, shop the Rennie Grove Peace Hospice eBay shop or their Re:loved boutiques in locations such as Berkhamsted and Radlett, where you’ll find premium and designer brands at a fraction of the original price!

Experiment with Other Sections

3. Don't just shop in the section for your size, you can often find items that fit you with a different size label on, this is often because the previous owner has shrunk the garment, or it's not true to size!

4. Check out the mens section, I love finding things like cashmere sweaters which are often a more flattering, modern and looser fit in mens styling

Be Intentional

5. Keep in mind your wish list. Don't buy things just because they're a bargain! Do you really need it?

6. Have in mind at least 4 different outfits that you can create from your existing wardrobe to go with any 'new' item you want to buy

Know Your Colours

7.?Stick to the colour palette that works for you, but if you do find something you love in a colour that doesn't work for you, consider dying it at home!

Look for Investment Pieces

8. You can get some really great quality premium pieces for an amazing price. Look for investment pieces missing from your wardrobe such as jeans, leather jackets, coats, handbags and designer shoes. (These gorgeous Dr Marten’s pink sandals were sourced in a local RGP charity shop)

Plan Ahead, But Buy It or Regret It!

9. Plan ahead! Buying off season is often the best way to pick up a bargain! Think coats in August and sandals in February! Also think about any special events or occasions you have coming up in the year ahead such as weddings

10.?Buy It or Regret It - This goes completely against what I normally tell my clients when it comes to purchasing habits. I normally suggest taking a photo, mull it over and keep it on your phone to think about how you might style it. But when it comes to second hand shops, if you love it, just buy it or you’ll miss out!
