Thrifting in England

 Hello Readers. I really enjoyed traveling to England and while I was there I went to a few thrift stores/charity shops. I found a few things I really liked. And so did my daughter.

I went inside every vintage and charity shop I saw when I was out and about in London and in Bath.

I loved the sleeves of this white linen shirt. I always like to wear linen in the summer because it breathes so well and this shirt was so fun. 

This light green shirt was also linen. It was a very simple cut and style. It was really basic and perfect for work. (I was headed to work when I tried to take a picture.)

I didn't try anything on and I assumed this wrap shirt would fit. It had a white tank attached to it inside. I thought the shirt inside was a great idea but it is really tight and has NO stretch. I think I will remove the inside shirt ans wear the striped shirt with something else.

I thought this shirt was really pretty. It was also 100% silk and silk is so light and breathable in summer. It is really nice on hot days.

My daughter also found a few great thrifty items. 
 
This lavender shirt was just gorgeous. This was the priciest item (30$) but it was new with tags. 

I thought this was a vintage 80's skirt but it was actually gauchos. 

This mod 60's style dress was super cute.

This skirt looks simple but the gray threads are actually silver and it is very sparkly. 

Over all the prices were about 5-10$ per item. The stores did a good job of weeding out the junk and damaged clothing because everything was in very good condition. We had loads of fun during our trip so thanks to England for all the fun.

***Year End Update- Thrifting in the UK was so much fun. I was surprised that the prices and styles were so similar to what I see in the US. I thought prices would be higher in the UK.
