One of my most expensive boot sale finds so far

Hi all,
I'm loving this weather we're having. I hope it stays :) Are you enjoying it?
Me and Mike drove to the beach this morning and beforehand we went to a boot sale. I always like to check out boot sales in different areas as it's interesting to see how it differs from the ones in my local area. I don't usually have much luck with ones that are on Saturday, but because we were passing anyway we thought we'd check it out, especially as the weather is so nice. This led onto me picking up this dress handmade from Cath Kidston fabric. It cost £10 which makes it one of my most expensive boot sale finds so far (it ties with a pair of pink Dr Martens I got a few years ago for £10 also). I hesitated and pondered over the dress for a while as it's quite a lot to part with for something I can't try on, so was quite a risk. Luckily the risk paid off and it fits great, apart from it being a bit shorter than what I'd usually wear. It has a really cute babydoll type fit. I love it and it really reminds me of summer.

Here is a (rubbish) photo of me wearing it. Mike was doing the food shopping so I had to improvise.

Clothes that tell a story

This is one of my latest purchases from the boot sale. I've been looking for an acid wash denim jacket for a while now but didn't want to pay loads on Ebay or on the high street so I am glad I waited it out. This cost only 50p, and is covered in Canadian patches which is really interesting. It makes me wonder what the story behind these are? Who it belonged to? How old is this jacket? etc.

I tend to not think about the story behind second hand clothing, especially vintage clothing. It's a bit too morbid for me. But this jacket really got me thinking, it's a kids jacket so I wonder if this person is in their 30's or 40's now. Although, I feel bad because I am going to take majority of the patches off as it's not my style. 

Have you picked up any boot sale bargains recently?

Boot sale haul (Vivienne Westwood) and Cath Kidston freebie!

I love it when I have a good boot sale day! Despite the recent weather over the past week or so, I still managed to pick up quite a good haul even though the boot sale was half the size it usually is. 

I spotted this Cath Kidston bag on the floor and as I went to have a closer look the lady said I could have it for free because someone broke the plastic handle. I was like YAYYYYYYYY :D :D and when I got home I attached another bag strap to it, so now it is useable.

This adorable vintage hat was originally from St Michael. I got it for 50p and I can't wait till it's not windy and I can wear it out with cute summer dresses.

From the same stall as the hat I also got this Cure t-shirt (originally from Urban Outfitters I think) for £2 and denim Topshop shorts for £1.

This cute dolly style dress was only 50p. Yippee!

I also picked up this Vivienne Westwood Boudoir bag for £2. And you all know I am a sucker for anything Vivienne Westwood...especially when it's this cheap.

And lastly, I got this purse for 50p. I think I may use it for putting make-up and daily essentials in.
