I visited every charity shop in the city centre with the aim of finding a night out outfit for less than £20
But on a scavenger hunt to find an outfit for New Year's Eve, I found several trendy pieces from major high-street stores - at a bargain price.
Inside, they had a wide variety of clothes, bags and shoes, all in different sizes. One of the first items that caught my eye was a pair of nude £10 Pretty Little Thing heels that had barely been worn. Online, they retail for £28. I also spotted a gorgeous baby blue textured blazer with an RRP of £69.99, for £16.99. But my eyes were drawn to a metallic thread dress featuring padded shoulders and a knotted front. After a quick search, I found the dress on eBay for £74, but in Oxfam, it was £9.99.
Out of all the charity shops I visited, their store in St Johns Shopping Centre had by far the best bargains. A lot of their shoes were tagged at around £3 while dresses were £4. Given the current cost-of-living crisis, I was very impressed by their affordable pricing that caters for every budget. While on my way up, I discovered a second British Heart Foundation on Richmond Street. In the window, they had a pair of Alexander McQueen black glitter trainers.
