£1 jumble sale!

Last Sunday, I went along to the monthly £1 jumble sale held in the warehouse behind Milgi, on City Road. The sale started at 6pm but I’d been told to get there early as it gets really busy – there are so many great bargains to snap up!

I am about to go to Hong Kong for a couple of weeks so I picked up some nice summery dresses as it can get ridiculously hot out there. I originally picked up the orange and pink version of this dress and then I saw the blue one and, at £1 each, I decided to get them both!

I also found this shirt which can be used as a shirt dress with a tan belt or a night shirt and this handmade bag which will be great for the beach.

As well as a huge selection of second hand clothes an impressive array of handmade jewellery, bags and other accessories were also on sale.

All the clothes were second hand or handmade so you can shop with a clear conscience especially as everything is only £1!

For more information visit Milgi’s website.

A vintage bonanza this weekend!
