For The Love Of Coats

When Barnardo’s got in touch about guest blogging for The Thrift, I immediately said yes! I couldn’t wait for an excuse to have a browse through the racks of pre-loved clothes at my local Barnardo’s in Tunbridge Wells.

One of the things I love about Barnado’s is that they colour co-ordinate their rails. It allows you to look at things in other sizes that you might not usually choose, or give a second thought to. You just never know what you will find. I’ve picked up some real gems over the years.

Barnardo’s Outfit Challenge

barnardosretail2 Comments

Hi! I’m Miss Eleanor May, and I was recently set the Outfit Challenge by Barnardo’s Retail team to find an outfit in one of their shops whilst spending as little as possible!

One of my favourite Barnardo’s shops is located in Plymouth, Devon, and I try to visit whenever I’m in the city. This particular shop is a 99p shop and there is always an incredible array of clothes, accessories, toys and homewares for sale.

With my challenge in mind, I got the chance to visit and was delighted to find a beautiful dragonfly dress which was originally £26 from Next and still had the tags attached – and you guessed it, it was only 99p! I absolutely fell in love with this dress as it fits beautifully and is perfect for wearing all year round, layering up in the colder months.
