Elbow patches and charity shop boots.

Outfit posts are one of my favourite things about reading other people's blogs - I love the inspiration, and I love seeing how other people put clothes together. I'm going to start doing more of these myself, even if it's so I can look back at this in a couple of year's time and have a little giggle at how I look.
This jacket is the best thing that I have ever found in a charity shop; it only cost £12 and I got it just before the whole shearling jacket thing came in, so I was pretty stoked.Jacket - charity shop, jumper - Zara, shirt - New Look men's, denim shorts - G-Star DIYs, boots - charity shop, sunglasses - Ray Bans.
I went trawling around York yesterday and I got thjumper from Zara - as you all know, I have a thing about elbow patches. And I found these boots in a charity shop for a tenner. They're exactly what I've been looking for for ages now. I wanted some with a low heel because I'm an official giant, but I resent spending £80 on a pair from Office. I can tell I'm going to be living in these from now on. There's something so ridiculously satisfying about finding something in a charity shop that you love and that is in your size. It feels like you've made an effort for your clothes.

  4. Love this outfit. You look so unmistakably Florence. Those boots and that jacket were right finds, and I totally get what you mean about it being so satisfying to find stuff that fits, or that you've wanted since forever. Haha, I have this jumper as well. In grey mind you. Zara knitwear is so nice though x
