Another charity shop bargain for you, but this time i've shown you where you can buy pretty much exactly the same thing! I had some spare time yesterday so headed off for a stroll around the charity shops, I wasn't really looking for anything, but as soon as I saw this jacket it instantly reminded me of the army jacket at urban outfitters, and i just had to have it! The £4 price tag made it even more wantable and now means i don't need to splash out £48 or £75 on one from urban outfitters! I originally wanted one because now that the warmer months are with us (although it's apparently going to snow next week?!) thought it would be a great alternative to a coat as it's thin, but would keep me warm during summer evenings, at festivals, or even colder spring days! Brilliant. I can't wait to wear it with a pretty floral dress, some sunnies and my urban outfitters sandals! Eeeeee summerrrrr!
I know the alternative i've chosen is expensive, but it's the inspiration i took for my jacket. However, you can look in new look or topshop as I'm sure they will sell similar things too. Check ebay as well! You're bound to find a bargain! I hope you enjoyed this nevertheless, and i may even make this a regular feature on my blog! The lovely Lelshy actually suggested this to me, so thank you sweetie!

Have a fantabulous weekend girlies, I'm now off out with my dad for afternoon tea and maybe some more sneaky charity shopping! Im totally addicted ...
They're so similar, it's always such a good feeling when you find a good steal in a charity shop :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice! I've actually been on the lookout for a similar one in charity shops after spotting the likes of the Urban Outfitters jacket...no success for me yet though! What a bargain yours was too!

Wow, they look like practically the same jacket. I think the military trend is here to stay so an amazing £4 well spent.
ReplyDeleteLiving loving your take on charity vs high street! Great idea! Please check out my blog if you love fashion as much as I do, xoxo Shelley Lockhart
ReplyDeleteI love my army jacket!! £12 from Camden market and when I saw the Urban Outfitters one I thought it was ridiculous considering they're practically the same!
