Hello! ☺️ ..This makes me sooo happy! I think you could be the lady that travelled from Cambridge? One of the charity shops messaged me to say a lovely lady had seen my video and traveled to Ipswich from Cambridge! If so, I wrote a little community tab about out to you today! So glad you loved the shopping and sounds like an amazing trip!! 😍 thanks for the message xx
@@themonicaway. yes it was me lol 😆 Xxxx
Nothing can beat that first item, 3£ for a Tory Burch jacket😮
I work in a charity shop, we only put out spotless clothes ,and many are new , donated by shops and stores or samples , the scruffy charity shops are usually just short of volunteers to do what needs to be done , , To anyone who says they could not wearsomething that has been worn by someone else , I remind them of all the well used hotel sheets they have slept on and towels that dried a thousand bodies , that shuts them up ,
Could not agree more!! 😍♥️
I found an Eileen Fisher merino wool deconstructed jacket in a thrift on the regular rack, not the “boutique” rack where they put higher quality items and price them accordingly. It was $3. On the boutique rack it would’ve been $10-12. Even then, online, I found it for $250. At the cashier, the woman looked at the sticker which was white versus the boutique pink, and said, well you got a deal as our stock person obviously doesn’t know Eileen Fisher! I said, bonus! She smiled!
I’ve often found high end items, crystal or porcelain not just clothes, at thrifts and church sales at lower prices than something from Wally World! I love benefiting from someone’s lack of knowledge, though I oftentimes round up say a $16 sale to $20 for them to keep the difference if it’s a church thrift shoppe or a church sale. If it’s going towards something worthwhile, I always round up. Especially library’s used book sales when the proceeds go to children’s reading programs as it’s something dear to me.
Hi Monica,
My favourite is your first jacket. However, the lilac jacket is spectacular, too.
If you don't already, you should open a business that you style clients and take them shopping the same way you shop, outside of UA-cam. 😊
Thanks so much! What a fabulous idea xxx
Love it all but tweed jacket with navy trim is FAB❤🦋
You're a great bargain shopper...your Mum is lucky you got that jacket..love your tips.
I found a pair of hardly worn... DUO black knee high leather boots for $25 ...in a charity shop. Looked them up online and they were on special for about $400. So pleased with that 😀
Very inspirational. Love a charity shop day out. First places I head for in a new town.
The amount of money I’ve saved by charity shopping for everything I can on gorgeous items for me, my husband and my daughter and for the home over 35+ years runs by now into tens of thousands of pounds! Even just one pair of large lead crystal table lamps (that I originally saw in a beautiful store in Bath) I saved nearly £1,000! A solid dining table and chairs I saved approx. £3-4,000. Even for a simple M&S top you’ll save £20-30! It’s crazy! 💚🧡
You bought some amazing second hand clothes which fitted you perfectly, even your mums jacket looked good. I’m always looking in charity shops but never find the sort of items/labels you bought. You obviously shop in the right places. Well done. I will keep looking 😊
Wow great jackets you’ve done well there. They look amazing.
Loved the Tory Burch jacket.
A friend of a friend got married at the weekend and they had a ‘sustainable’ wedding, I.e. all the outfits were from charity shops or bought 2nd hand online. I’ve seen a few photos and they all looked incredible 💒 👰 🤵♂️ ❤.
Wow!! I love that idea - its deffo the future! xx
Absolutely love rummaging in the charity shop. Great haul
Love the first jacket and like you I’m an avid charity shop shopper! ❤
Hi Monica, It’s one place I usually avoid….how silly of me lol. Absolute bargains, will definately not pass charity shops without having a peak. Thanks for sharing xx
I never walk past a charity shop. Great places for bargains.
Your first bargain what a fab jacket! To die for!
I love that! My work here is done ☺️🥰♥️ enjoy Tina! xx
Love your videos. I’m a massive charity shop shopper. There’s nothing like the feeling you get when you spot an absolute bargain. I nearly always try charity shops first if I’m looking for something in particular. I always seem to find what I’m looking for but sometimes you do need patience 😀 x
Tory Burch jacket is beautiful and the best bargain of the lot. I can’t believe the price!
Fantastic seeing you modelling the purchases. They looked amazing!
Thanks so much!! ♥️♥️
The first coat and your mum's coat ❤
I agree!!😍
Just recently saw your video,s and you have a great eye for fashion. I liked your first jacket and your Mum's. It's a really clever way to shop. Looking forward to more videos.😊
The coat for your mum. Very me! Bot bug but pergect for the winter.
My favorite item is Jacket #1!!!!
Yes!!! It’s deffo the biggest bargain too ♥️
Loved the Tory Burch jacket x
Thank you!!😍😍

The Tory jacket, looks fabulous!
Thank you so much ♥️♥️
Lovely pieces. Not sure where you go but our charity shops are nowhere near that cheap and stuff often has holes or stains.
Thanks! I go all over the UK 🥰 This haul was Suffolk ✨ xx
Love watching you here in Canada!❤ Been secondhand shopping all my life!
Great deals there! Wow!
My mum is Canadian! I’ll be there in Summer ♥️✨🇨🇦 hello!
I love the first jacket. My kind of style. Great haul .
Thanks so much!! ♥️
Tory jacket ❤
Agree ♥️♥️♥️
I really enjoy your videos and love your accent! 😉I always find that Northerners are more relatable. Anyway, you have a very classic (and classy) style, so I would love to see you picking some other unusual quirkier pieces - can be vintage, colourful... - out of what you usually go for. Thanks
The lilac blazer and the Tory Birch cropped jacket were my faves. I’m really into jackets right now and just bought 2 secondhand - a wool plaid blazer and a cotton tapestry cropped cotton jacket. I was in a thrift and find a Diane Von Furstenberg tweed cropped jacket for $5. Yes, I got it and it fit me perfectly. 🥰 I have found some wonderful items thrifting. You have to spend time looking.
Wow!!! Sounds like some bargains 😍♻️ xxx
I got a beautiful phase eight slub satin suit, for £15! worn once for a wedding I was told. There's a local label in Harrogate who makes the most fantastic clothes, her suits are around £500, I paid £4.99 for one of her suits a skirt & coat, the detail on the coat is amazing, I wear with jeans & trousers, again obviously worn once for a special occasion.
Love to see your charity shop finds ❤
Really enjoying your videos…..lovely items and great advice…..keep them coming ❤
Thanks so much! I’m absolutely going to ♥️♥️♥️
You sure are a smart cookie and a half Miss Monica - What a fun vlog! Favorite items first and last as I'm strangly in a lilac phase myself. Merci
Thanks so much! What a kind comment xx
Hi monica what a lovely haul you got the jackets are gorgeous ❤
Thanks so much! I love my new jackets ♻️😍
So many good things on the second hand market 👍🏻
I love all of them, my two favourite are the OUI blazar and the lilac top.
I love flea-markets, a cheapest place to get really good bargains with quality items too.
Thanks so much! Love some lilac 😍😍😍
Monica I found a lovely light cotton shirtwaist dress by LK Bennett in a charity shop in Harrogate last week, still had tags on for £325.00 but cost me £44. Consider that a bargain 😉!
I would have to agree!! I love Harrogate charity shops!! ♻️♻️♻️
😍the jackets great haul
Definitely the Tony Burch jacket, it was stunning on you.
Wow can’t believe the price of the & Other Stories blazer! Great find.
Terrific buys ❤
Thanks so much! ♥️
Thank you. X
Wow...what bargains you have there, Charity Shops are definitely worth investigating! Love the 1st jacket and Mum's jacket too...sure she'll like it. My favourite was the lilac blazer...beautifully cut and looked so smart styled with black. Even the Loungewear etc were great finds! Love your videos and appreciate styling tips. Also like what you're wearing!
Great haul! Where was the Tory Burch jacket from? Thanks 😊
From the Zest charity shop in Ipswich ♻️♥️

Hello Monica,
I am an older person, over 60 now and no longer work. My lifestyle is very, very casual and although your clothes you found are lovely, mostly would be too dressy for me. I don't even go out at night anymore, but get together sometimes with a friend to have lunch at non-fancy restaurant or cafe.
So...do you know of any videos for the over 60 ladies to watch? We rarely buy new clothes and look for 2nd hand very inexpensive casual clothes.
I'm not great at looking up on UA-cam to search for this, so if you know of any videos for older ladies to find charity shop clothes, I would appreciate it. My friend and I are in our mid and late 60's. Looking for videos by women in our age group showing what they bought at charity shops. NOT NEW clothes. I did see a few ladies in UK, UA-cam and I think they were over 50 but they just showed new clothes they bought and looked like they were quite wealthy, living in a beautiful home. My friend and I both rent in tiny flats and not much money. Thank you.
Hi Suzanne!
Thank you for your comment.
I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t think of any as I don’t subscribe to many channels so similar to that of my own!
..Hopefully someone else that sees this comment of yours may be able to help or suggest some channels for you to follow - if I ever come across any I’ll let you know! ☺️
@@themonicaway.
Thank you Monica.
I love your videos & thrift finds, could you do a video on how to shop preloved for different body shapes, I'm an apple shape🍎
I’m not your shape, but I think charity shopping itself has helped me identify what suits my shape. If I like the fabric quality and colour and it looks like it might fit (size labels are only a loose guide at best), I try it on. Lots of experimentation, trial and error (and patience) have helped me narrow down which silhouettes are likely to be flattering on me and which will not. Just go and play. Try on classics and wild things, and keep an open mind. Oh, and I’m not afraid to ask the shop staff or nearby customers for second opinions.
❤
My town is awful now, its full of charity shops , they are all just full of junk, I have absolutely no luck in picking up a hidden gem.
Look your style
Great video! Do you always launder or dry clean before you buy your item? Do you buy items that need minor repairs?
Thanks so much! It really depends on much I love the item. If its an item I love that needs repairs or some TLC, then I will take the time to do so. Hope that helps xx
@@themonicaway. Yes it does: thank you. I'm very pleased to have found your channel.
I’m addicted to charity shops, I’m on holiday atm on the Isle of Wight and I’ve just picked up some lovely items from 3 different charity shops.
I have to ask where a-bouts your charity shops are ?
Oh how lovely! These were Suffolk xx
where are these charity shops that you go to
Suffolk, England but I go all over! I’ll be covering Yorkshire next ♥️
Hi.
Having a very low budget, i have shopped in charity shops for decades. My daughter is now 22.
When it was time for her prom she wanted a sexy black sparkly dress. We looked around the expensive shops ,luckily she just couldn't find anything. I told her don't worry we will look in the charity shops. The right dress will speak to you. Imagine going into barnardos thinking there was a black dress only to find a black top in the dresses. Spotted what could only be a ball gown white top and purple skirt. So beautiful, fully corseted. I left the shop, and my daughter wandered what i looked at. I told her it was not black. I took her in.the minute i showed her the dress. That was it, a mirror had to be found. She swished that dress left and wright. All i got was "mum, it wants to come home with me It wants me". I told her its not black steph, to see the reaction. But she kept saying it spoke to her . My son lent me the £10 for the dress. Got it cleaned for £30. On her prom all the girls went in sexy tight fitting dresses. When she arrived all the teachers came over to her and told her she looked like a princess. She stood out from the crowd. Best thing i ever bought her. We regularly take a look in the charity shop. Recently she bouĝt me a gift as part of my birthday present. It was a small Radley bag with dust cover for £10. I cant wait for my day, she bought me a top to match the colours in the bag. From a different charity shop. Brilliant.
I love this! Well done her, I’m sure she must have looked amazing 😍😍😍♥️
The on screen pricing wasn't matching up with what you were saying you'd paid ! 😅
Hi! I’m adding the prices up as the video goes on to show the collective amount spent in total. The individual prices can be seen when I do the cutaways showing the labels - hope that clarifies! ☺️
Recently found your channel. Love it!greets from the Netherlands 🖐
Thanks so much!!! ♥️♥️
