Charity Shop

So I've recently been thinking about doing some volunteer work in a local charity shop (there are plenty to choose from, I think I live in the charity shop capital of the world.) It's not just for my CV/personal statement, to help them to rifle through the masses of clothes I donated to them last month, or to fulfill the void in my soul where a part-time job in a clothing store never went. But I do think I have a lot to gain from it.

Firstly, it will fill up one of the several afternoons I have off from college, which would otherwise be spent napping. It will also be something else I can write on my CV, and it may give me the opportunity to look at clothes that are extremely cheap (which could save me an awful lot of pennies!) I know the stigma about charity shop clothing, but Katie Styles has changed my opinion (check out her blog by clicking on the link, it's filled with tips on how to alter clothes, and buy from charity shops - I love it!)

And obviously, it would make me feel good inside because I would be helping a charity, which is always good! I will keep you all updated with any progress on the volunteering front!

I may be doing a giveaway soon. I'm an absolute plonker and binned the return slip for Topshop, that came with the stuff I ordered offline, thinking I would be able to take it in store! Going to see if I can change it into something else, but if not I have a dress that's worth like £40+ to give away (lucky you!)

p.s, think i'll be investing in a dslr camera for my birthday, which should liven this blog up a bit with pictures galore!
