I've been searching for an ornate silver tray since I saw one on Paula's blog. When I spotted this beauty for only £2.99, I was at the till in a flash.
I must thank the lovely volunteer at my favourite St Gemma's Hospice shop for pointing this one out. I had a grey wool coat in my arms and was ready to pay when she mentioned 'the grey scarf' that would go with it perfectly. It's gorgeously soft and was a steal at only £1.50.
I'll admit - I have no idea how to wear this. I bought it for the beautiful collar alone - wouldn't it look great peeping out from under a scoop neck jumper? For £2, it's a worthy style challenge.
Ralph Lauren isn't a brand I'm usually drawn to, but the colour caught my eye. This shade of blue looks good on everyone - I'm saving this one for summer to wear over cute dresses.
Have you bagged any bargains recently?
The scarf is such a massive bargain, and the collar on the blouse is perfect! Amazing finds!

I love the tray, I always think trays make the best platform for displaying stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhen you first tweeted about the scarf and cardigan I knew they sure would be good finds! I'm always partial to a bit of Juicy Couture (in small doeses)xxx

ReplyDeleteI had no luck in charity shops in the latter part of 2011 but the year ended in excellent style - a (handmade I think) vintage shift dress and jacket which is green and a bit sparkly and I LOVE it. £4.99 - hurrah!
the vintage tray is utterly gorgeous
