What I Wore Wednesday – charity shop & eBay chic
March 27, 2013 at 11:20 am | Posted in What I Wore Wednesday | 4 CommentsTags: #wiww, Transatlantic Blonde, What I Wore Wednesday
It’s been a while! This is my first What I Wore Wednesday post since before I was pregnant, so over a year.
I’m nervous about coming back – I’m sleep deprived, puffy eyed and definitely older looking. As well as being two sizes bigger than I was pre-baby (my new obsession with baking is not helping with that). Anyway, here goes!
Jumper – Ted Baker on eBay – £5
Trousers – Uniqlo from Oxfam – £6
Long sleeved white tee – Dorothy Perkins sale – £6
Ugg Boots – Sole Trader – £130
Watch – Michael Kors – £185
I’ve become really addicted to charity shop, eBay and Gumtree shopping – half my wardrobe is now second hand. Recent bargains include a Mint Velvet jumper, Zara blazer and a French Connection blouse. I feel a separate blog post coming.
Go and see the more awake, less puffy looking entries on the Transatlantic Blonde blog!

Dress: Dorothy Perkins (last summer)
Tights: River Island (recent but via eBay)

I was in London today for a meeting and underneath my huge coat, hat, scarf and gloves this is the outfit I chose for the day.
I’ve made a promise to myself to work through everything in my wardrobe. I think I started around the beginning of January and I still have some outfits left that I haven’t had an occassion for or I just don’t like but can’t bear to part with.
Kimono Top – River Island (pre Christmas sale)
Green Top – Miss Selfridge (pre Christmas)
Trousers – Bershka (last week, shh!)
Shoes – Office (a few years ago)
Pop over to see the other gorgeous entries with Transatlantic Blonde, and take part too.

Apologies for the blurryness ad odd angles of some of these – our three-year old was cameraman today.
I chose this outfit for a day at work – a big meeting this morning and time in the office later on. The dress is great with delicate shoes and tights for weddings.
Dress – Closet at Dorothy Perkins (about a year ago)
Tights – H&M (about a year ago)
Long sleeve t-shirt – New Look (recently)
Boots – Zara (this month)
Coat – TK Maxx (too many years ago)
Scarf – Tesco (about a year ago)

What I wore Wednesday: Ditsy Vintage

I’m a firm believer that you’re more productive if you feel good in what you’re wearing.
I also think that if you want to stand out in business, it’s good to stand out when it comes to your clothes. They say a lot about you. I like people to get a first impression that the PR agency I run does things differently – is creative and a bit quirky with it.
So today I opted for a slightly mixed up ensemble!
Skirt – Primark (about a year ago)
Top – Primark (recent)
Tights – H&M (about a year ago)
Shoes – Irregular Choice
Necklace – Vintage (passed from Grandmother to Mother to me)
Hair slide – Handmade by Mrs P from vintage costume jewellery
I hated all of the photos I took, hence the arty approach! Blame the post Christmas waistline.
