I went to the beach yesterday, the weather has been so gorgeous recently!

Fred Perry shorts - Charity shop - £3.49
Flip flops - Primark - £1

These shorts were a great find! And the mermaid top is my favourite item of the whole summer!

THRIFTED DAISY DRESS - OUTFIT



Today I am wearing my new daisy print dress that I got yesterday from a charity shop. It's so cute and has buttons up the front. Cost: £3.99
I also got my loafers from a charity shop a couple of summers ago. 

I love my backpack satchel so much! I've wanted one since I saw Hairspray and Amanda Bynes' character had one! Also, since I saw the Cambridge Satchel advert where the Mum says "They don't make them like this anymore," and the daughter encourages her to start making them and then the mum builds a whole company based on that conversation but fails to actually make any backpack satchels -.- 
I finally found one on eBay last year and it's great because you can unclip the straps and change them so that it can be worn as a backpack or a messenger bag.

This is my 'going for a meal with family - must look nice' outfit. 
I hope there's lasagne or pie where we're going!
(Luckily the dress has an elasticated waistband!)

Thanks for reading!

Charity Shop Haul - Shorts

I went round my local charity shops recently and I scored big on shorts! Originally I thought I might add some of these to my etsy shop: RosieBits but I decided because it's summer I would be greedy and keep them all for myself!
 ^_^


Amazing shorts - details:
Vintage Velour Fred Perry shorts - £3.49
I was so excited when I saw the little laurel leaf on these! I was searching through the swimwear and sportswear to see if there was anything cute and retro to add to my shop when I found these! 
I love Fred Perry stuff, especially when you find it at a bargain price on eBay or in charity shops.

Vintage Green&Blue Check shorts - £2.99
I love these ones! I think they're my favourite out of everything I got. They're a bit high waisted and I love the button fly on them. They're also a nice stretchy sort of denim material which makes them comfy to wear because they don't press on your tummy when you're bloated :') I can't wait to wear these with a cute denim coat and white plimsolls.

Vintage Black&White Gingham shorts - £2.99
I got these in the same shop as the previous pair and I wonder if they were donated by the same person? This pair is also high waisted and I like them because they're not only wearable in the summer. They'll also look good with tights and boots when it gets colder. Cute!

Purple denim Frayed Hem shorts - £2.99
These shorts also came from the same shop as the previous two pairs. I love this pair for summer, the colour is so nice! I already have a pair of lilac shorts but they're a bit tight on me now so I'm really pleased I found these to replace them. They're actually a nicer pair than the ones I already have because they're high waisted. I might get my boyfriend, who is a great artist(!), to draw Lumpy Space Princess on these ones. I'm still deciding though :')

I'm so pleased I got such a good haul as charity shops are often a bit disappointing these days :( 
Instagram gives me too higher expectations of all the treasures I'm going to find! 
I have to say though the three high waisted pairs are pretty amazing, I think. They remind me of Baby from Dirty Dancing before she gets too sexy and into dancing, but when she first arrives and it just chilling in her general holiday clothes. All I need now is some white plimms and a watermelon!



Let me know what you think of my finds! 
Thanks for reading oxox

*Church sale finds*

Me and my Mum went to a church sale last Saturday and it was great! A proper classic church sale with properly bargain prices! Only 20p entry too ;)
It was even worth getting up early for when I had a hangover, plus I got a bacon sandwich and hash browns out of it as a reward for getting up early.

I got these great bargains! The dog is a proper vintage toy, probably older than me and he was 20p. 
The ugly cat make up bag is to replace my ugly floral make up bag which had loads of rips in it and my Mum despised, that was only 20p too.
The backpack was 50p.

This is Timothy -20p

I got this set of 4 flower rings for 10p

My mum got this oversized Zara clutch bag for 50p and it's suede on the other side

Definitely the best bargains I've found for a while, everything was so cheap >.<
