Spring Is Here!

Spring is here!! Yes the sun has actually come out of hiding and that means one thing in your fashion calendar – a style overhaul!

The Barnardo’s retail team has been on the hunt for this seasons perfect spring dresses, without the need to spend a fortune on the high-street.

We know at this time of year, abandoning your roll neck sweater and putting your denier 1000 tights to the back of the draw is a daunting prospect because yes, it’s still a little chilly outside, especially in the evenings. However, we have found the perfect transitional styles that can take you from winter blues to sunny spring in minutes.

Bohemian vibes

With the 70’s trend set to continue into S.S 16, there is no better time to add some bohemian vibes to your wardrobe.

A white lace dress, such as this Dahlia number, ticks all the style boxes!

Accessorise with tanned ankle boots and a flower hair garland for a winning combination.

Barnardo’s Outfit Challenge

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.
