So I made this blouse from 2 men’s shirts that I bought in the British Heart Foundation charity shop in Bath. This is my entry for this year’s #thebigstitch ... please swipe for the ‘before’ pic of the 2 shirts, and another ‘after’ one of the finished floofy sleeves in all their glory.
If anyone’s interested what I did, here’s a quick version - I combined 4 sleeves from 2 shirts to make 2 new sleeves. I cut up the second shirt to make a new collar and bow and long cuffs. I narrowed the first shirt and sewed lots of buttonholes and buttons to the front and cuffs.
And the good news is (UK folks) there’s still plenty of time to head to @the_bhf shop and join in too, for a bit of recycled sewing whilst helping this amazing cause!

I do not own enough polka dot! I have two items in my wardrobe including this bodysuit which I love but do not wear as much as I should! On a serious charity shop mission for more ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️

In other news tomorrow night my local @barnardos_uk is having an auction night and @mi55_adventures and myself are going!! There will be sale rails, raffles and the chance to bid on bin liners full of clothes in your size! It’s safe to say I’m just a little bit excited

We found this vintage armchair in a charity shop for about £20 but it was in a right state. So we called upon the awesome @marciekdesigns to work her magic, upholstering it in our Nocturnal Faunacation velvet. The living room walls are painted in @farrowandball Hague Blue and the brass table lamp is from @accessoriesforthehome - @divinesavages

This bag is probably one of my favourite charity shop finds. It seems to make every outfit so much better. I've just been looking through my feed and realised that it's almost at #30wears - here's 10 ways I've worn it recently. Do you think it's easier to get to #30pluswears with accessories?

Picture description for accessibility: I'm wearing a black blouse with white squares embroidered all over. The sleeves are very full. I've ticket it into a white, pleated, midi skirt. I'm holding a square straw bag and I'm wearing red sandals.
I set up a little table in my garden for breakfast this week... and I've spent the majority of my spare time here since! I love creating pretty little corners

However, the local cat gang have decided that Oliver needs teaching a lesson, and are hanging out on our garden wall tormenting him... so it's not as peaceful as you may think!

I've been holiday packing today and I do spend quite a bit of time on it. I always try on everything beforehand and plan for each day/night.
.
. This is one of my favourite outfits for the upcoming trip. Sometimes I think having a capsule wardrobe and being minimalist can be mistaken for a minimalist aesthetic - and yes, some of my clothes are quite plain and simple. However, I love print clashes and bright patterns and I think this outfit is proof that minimalism doesn't have to be boring. #capsule #minimalism #rewear .

. All items are either secondhand or old. Please look at my other grid photographs to see how I've re-worn these items in other ways

It tucked into a pink skirt (that's actually a dress but I'm wearing it as a maxi skirt). The skirt is pink cotton with a green leaf print all over. In holding a straw beach bag.

This bag has been out of action for a while. I bought it in a charity shop ages ago and loved its size and simplicity but at some point the strap broke. A few days ago I took it to the local cobbler and for £4.50 it was fixed - its life extended. I know this isn't big news but I don't usually have much time to do these things. .
. I'm very privileged to have more spare time over the summer so I've made a conscious decision to use that privilege to support the local businesses on my highstreet and make better choices such as shopping with re-usable containers in my local grocers to avoid plastic packaging. I'm usually really busy and supermarkets and online shops are convenient choices. However, I figured that even making a small change for a month or so will be a contribution. Who knows, it might trigger longer term changes. #progressnotperfection #ifyoucanyoushould
