Wedding to go to? Who needs Westfield....

....when you can come to Brook Green for an outfit?!
Saving money and knowing your spend will go to help a good cause.

(sorry for lack of posts. Have been in Granada, Spain, for a family wedding....inspiration!)

A lot of our donations are new items with tags still on. I say a lot. I would guess at 11% which I made up in my head to sound like I know what I am going on about!
So not that much, but when it comes in, it goes pretty much that same day (week at the latest....)

We have all done it. Bought something and lost the receipt so couldn't return it.
Or bought something that a 'friend' said looked awesome, when it looked very un-awesome indeed.
Or got carried away at a sale and bought a lovely pink and yellow boxy jacket with blue buttons. It was only £33, reduced from £200....hmmm. You now know it should have stayed on the rail and not been introduced to your wardrobe. (yes I did do this. NEVER again!)

At the moment we have these two lovely dresses which would be excellent for a wedding this summer.

Exhibit A



This lovely purple dress is by Swedish designer Valerie Aflalo is a size 10 (euro 38) 
rrp is SEK 1999 - about £196 and it could be yours for 3 twenty pound notes. Or a fifty and a ten. Or six tens. Or... Card it. £60
Glass beaded necklace £10

Exhibit B

Now this is by Coast.


Size 14 (euro 42) (although personally, I'd say a 12 (euro 40)) with a beautiful floral print.
And we all know how florals are the 'in' thing. Of course they are. It is summer.
rrp £175. Brook Green price £60

The pink wooden beads are £4


Both of these dresses have many shoe and bag options and combinations, but if you are unsure when you pop in, ask our volunteers as they know how to make an outfit work. Talented lil lot.

Bye for now
