Welcome to a new series on my blog, YouTube channel & Instagram. I have created Thrift Made Fun as a way to inspire fellow thrifting enthusiasts. It is a community for fashion and craft lovers who love to shop second hand, save money and turn something old into something new. This post is all about Charity Shop Items I picked up for under £15 and how to style them.

How To Style: Charity Shop Items

  • Mans shirt: A man’s shirt is an extremely versatile piece of clothing and often the perfect unisex item. I picked this one up for £2.99 and its near new quality. To style up an oversized shirt it is super easy. Button it up leaving 3 or 4 buttons undone and push down the neckline onto your shoulders. Creating this off shoulder style makes it look instantly more stylish and sexy. Roll up the baggy sleeves and add a waist belt to cinch in at the waist. The finished result is a shirt that looks much more expensive then it is. It is perfect for changing up your workwear or for casual summer days.

  • Leather Belt: The leather belt is such an everyday wardrobe essential. I picked up the one in the photos above for only £1. If it’s a bit big create new holes yourself with scissors or a hole punch. It’s perfect for adding detail to any piece of clothing and makes anything look more expensive and stylish.
  • Roll Neck Jumper: A roll neck jumper is another basic that everyone should own. They are great for layering under pinafore dresses and in so many other outfits. I purchased this one for £3 as well as the pinafore dress for £3.99. The outfit is so cute and with a few small accessories, you can turn a basic look into a great stylish look.

  • Pinafore Dress: This dress above is a cute basic and can be worn for many occasions. I loved it worn over the cream pinafore for a relaxed look.
  • Silk Scarf: I love collecting silk scarves as you can wear them in so many ways. In my video below you will see I show 3 cool ways to wear them. This one cost only 50p and has such a lovely autumnal colour palette.

I hope this has shown you how easy it is to pick up some Charity Shop Items and style them up to look expensive and new. For under 15 pounds it’s so easy to make items look good. Shopping for basics means they are really versatile and also don’t break the bank. Watch the video below to see more and let me know what you think in the comments.
