While I was down in Brighton last weekend I popped into a few of my favorite second hand shops. I picked up a few bits; the perfect daywear LBD (£3.50), a batic printed dress (£3) and a patent wide belt (£1.50). I know – so cheap.

I’ve always had a knack for finding great pieces at markets, charity shops or jumble sales. I don’t have patience for a lot of things, but I do have when it comes to clothes and accessories. These pieces were so worth scouring out.

I fell for the colour of this dress, and I’ve always been a sucker for batic prints in the summer. The dress is made from a chiffon/silk mix and is the perfect shape for a bohemian summer dress. Granted, it’s a few sizes big for me , but it will look great slung loosely over a bikini in the summer, or even teamed with a slim-fit black leather jacket and booties for a more city look.
