Levis Trousers And Charity Shops Finds Worth Finding
Questions:
When is a bargain, not a bargain?
When is something that looks great, not great?
Answer
When they do not fit!!
……..
Do you ever start a post and never finish it?
Today trying to clear out some of my unloved posts in draft that got started and never finished. I found this post right at the end, from over a year ago.
85 posts, yes I have in draft 85.
All started with an idea that got lost or forgotten about…
Anyway back to the Levis, I picked them up last year when having a nosey around the charity shop. My heart beat fast, I loved them, the colour, the style the length.
A Bargain £2.50 a pair, brand new tagged up!!
Got them home and to tight!
Perfect length but to tight!
Do the fit now?
Runs off to try?
No!
But the good news is I am going to make them fit after Christmas.
So keep your eye out for the post!
These are one bargain that is going to stay a bargain!
Do you buy something that you think is a bargain, only to find out when you get home it does not fit?
Do you have unloved posts in draft? how many? please tell!
One last thing before I go I have a whole lot of new blog buttons!
Do you like them?
Please, please say yes?
If not lie 😉

I love the colours of those trousers Claire! You have got to fit in them somehow!:) Your new header and buttons look great! I have a few posts in draft. Recently I deleted some. I really need to get cracking and have a lot more. I always like to be prepared ahead of time. You are certainly well prepared – 85! That is wonderful.

…Also, I have been meaning to ask you for ages- you know that shirt dress you have that has a black collar and cuffs and the main design is a sort of orangey swirly pattern, where did you buy it from? I am longing to get that dress, so I want to know what to search Ebay for in hope that someone is selling their old one at some point!!!!!! xx
Aww Kezzie there is one on now, I will leave a link under here, not sure your size but you will know what to look for. Its a red flowery tea dress by Jane Norman, navy collar and sleeves. I picked it up in the sale a few years back for £10. it is my favourite dress and hubby loves me in it 🙂
If it makes you feel any better, I have 55 draft posts! I bought a brand-new top in a charity shop on Saturday and it is far too small for me- grrr!!! It's currently sitting in the spare room awaiting plans! Levis for £2.50 though- wow!! Regarding the blog buttons, welll- er- I- er- unfortunately…I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cute.!!!!x
Aww Kezzie you are grrreeeaaatttt !! thank you 🙂 I am going to start planning what to do with things next year get sewwing and having fun with some old clothes ,can't wait 🙂
