I'm jealous

The charity shops near me are full of sad faded stuff way past its best. You've inspired me to give them another go though - I'm happy to wear second hand, but I get it from ebay these days. One thing I have noticed about charity shops lately is how expensive they are. They seem to charge more for things than you'd pay on ebay.
I got some tops from HOF clearance, but one has to go back. I'm adding batwing sleeves to the list of things I should never, ever try as they always look awful on me
