In many of my posts mentioning sustainability I've described my efforts to kick my high street fashion spending. Yes, I love a browse of Primark as much as the next person and once upon a time I was in awe of Boohoo for bringing out so many new things all the time. But, it's 2020 now and I'm more informed than ever.
I love clothes. I love buying clothes. I have a wardrobe absolutely crammed full of clothes. But, this year I'm making a real effort to only source pieces either second-hand, from sustainable ranges/shops or, if they are from the high street, pieces I know that I will keep for a long time and get a lot of wear out of.
I've always been a new outfit for every big occasion kind of gal, it's a terrible mindset but I just love wearing and styling different pieces. I feel far less guilty doing such now that the pieces I'm buying are all second hand - I highly recommend giving it a go. Getting a new outfit for under a tenner AND it being better for the planet? What a real kick that is.
Following my first payday in 2 and a half months I had a little Depop browse and this is what I picked up...
Originally from Primark, I picked up these beige and black zebra print culottes and I am in LOVE. They're a size 10 but fit perfectly and I paid a grand total of £6 for them including postage. Look out for them in an Instagram post coming your way soon!
This might just be the biggest find of this haul. It's a Topshop jumpsuit, new with tags (!!!) and I paid £6 for it. It's in this gorgeous green and neutral colour palette and I can't wait to style it with a straw bag in summer, and layered over a white tee for work in the warmer months. This is a size 8 and very much fits true to size!
I think Becca might just be having a bit of a culotte moment... These black and nude spot beauties were a grand total of £5.50 including postage and are going to be THE easiest thing to chuck on over the next few months. With; a jumper whilst it's still a little chilly, a tee for work and a bralet in the summer - we looove a versatile piece. These were originally from Boohoo and are a size 10.
This high neck top I bought from the same seller as the palm print jumpsuit as she was offering free postage on multiple items. It was originally from Miss Selfridge and is SO soft. I wasn't sure how this would look on me but I actually love it. It looks really cool paired with a pair of black mom jeans and my camel coloured coat, OOTD coming your way soon... This was £6, is a size small and I can see myself getting a lotttt of wear out of it!
I actually haven't stopped wearing this coat since I bought it. It's originally from Primark and I paid £13 for it including postage. It's an XS but fits me really nicely. It's cropped, but a nice sort of crop. In other words, it still keeps me super warm and my entire torso isn't hanging out of the bottom of it. I wear this with all of my jeans, my culottes, midi skirts, anything. I just LOVEEE it.
Have you bought any Depop pieces recently?
