Zara

I visited every charity shop in Liverpool city centre with the aim of finding a night out outfit for less than £20.

While I didn't find a complete outfit, I was made up with my purchases. I continued perusing around the store and found a new small black velvet bag with a silver chain. In this store, I was looking for either a pair of shoes, a clutch bag or accessories that would match the dress. However, my joy was short-lived as I turned them over and discovered they were a size too big. In the window, they had a pair of Alexander McQueen black glitter trainers. I also found a pair of Kurt Geiger heels, but sadly they were not my size. Again, I was pleasantly surprised by the items in Take 2. Given the current cost-of-living crisis, I was very impressed by their affordable pricing that caters for every budget. Much like Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic, I unashamedly ran to the racks to see what I could find. The next place I went to was Oxfam - and let me say this now, as soon as I have a day off work, I'll be going straight back there. I also spotted a gorgeous baby blue textured blazer with an RRP of £69.99, for £16.99. One of the first items that caught my eye was a pair of nude £10 Pretty Little Thing heels that had barely been worn.
