Bootsale haul & outfit

YAY! I was finally able to get out of bed for the car boot sale this morning. I am usually way too hungover on Sundays, but I made sure I didn't go out on Saturday night so that I could snap up lots of bargains. And snapping up lots of bargains is exactly what I did! Look at this lot!!
Vintage leather loafers - £3
St Tropez fake tans - 20p each
Hairsprays - 20p for all three
Benefit Bluffdust, Get Even powder and It Stick - £1 each
Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner - £2
Elizabeth Arden lipstick - 50p, Urban Decay eyeshadow palette - £1.50 (looks a bit grubby but after a little clean up it'll be good as new!)
Giant peace necklace - £1, gold chain - 50p
The following bits I got in a huge bundle for £20 - each item was £2 and since I got some really good quality bits, I didn't want to haggle as I thought it was a really fair price for what I got! My mum went halves with me too so I only paid a tenner for this lot!
ASOS neon beaded cardi - £2
Topshop aztec print dress - £2
Primark waterfall jacket - £2 (I know it's only Primark but thought it was really cute!)
River Island floral dress - £2
Topshop floral jumpsuit - £2 
Topshop tribal beaded jumper - £2
Lace dress - £2
Topshop silk jumpsuit - £2
Vero Moda glittery dress - £2
Now I realise these aren't to most people's taste... but I LOVE THEM!! I am obsessing over Hawaiian print shirts at the moment so can't wait to get creative on these and cut them into cute sleeveless tie front shirts!
Hawaiian print shirts - £1 each
Vintage sheer floral shirt - £1
Vintage lace crop top - £1
I've wanted a camouflage jacket for ages now, but wanted to wait until I found one for a good price. I definitely was never planning on spending £50 on one from Urban Outfitters or Topshop when I knew i'd come across one sooner or later! Snapped up this baby for just £3! It's a little big but nothing my sewing machine can't fix :)
Camouflage jacket - £3 

VINTAGE NEON VERSACE SKIRT! Love this! £1 - what a barg!
Vintage denim shorts - 50p each
And here's what I wore... excuse my gross face and hair, I was up way too early to care what I looked like! 
666 TOP: c/o Thriftette
FLORAL SHORTS: Bootsale, 20p
SHOES: Underground via Office, £85 (gift)
BAG: Zara, £39.99
BAG TASSLE: H&M, £1 (sale)

Blogger is NOT in my good books at the moment! Putting together a post with loads of pictures is proving to be extremely time consuming and VERY annoying!!

Now that the weather is good, hopefully it's here to stay, I should be bootsalin' every week so will be updating weekly with my bargains! As you can probably tell I got a bit sunburnt today after walking round a field for a few hours, which is why i'm so red! Hope you've all had a fab weekend :)

I cannot believe you got all of those things from a boot sale! I often browse my local boot sales and I don't know if it's because I live in Dorset but I'm lucky if I pick up one good item!

I actually quite like it when you don't 'do-yourself-up' so much, I think you look a bit beautiful and natural. A bit grunge! I like! The love the skirt/shorts you have on. Where do you go to these boots sales at? Or is it just any random boots sales?

Kirsty said...

Hahaa omg, considering you didn't care about how you looked and being tired.. you look incredible!!!! I wish I looked that pretty in such a state. Anyway, seems like you seriously scored so many bargains.

Unknown said...

I've always been a little put off from car boots by my unsavoury memories of them, but if this is the kind of bargains you can get I think I'll give them another try!!

Hey Lucy, looks like you had a good day at the car boot, you got some lovely things.I get loads of stuff almost every time i go to my carboot, i go nearly every week though im addicted! Its the thrill of what i am going to find this time, there should be a carboot sale addict rehab or talk group that i could go too haha.At the carboot that i go there is always lots of cheap vintage, has there isnt that much interest/want for it in my area, which is good because more for me :) its so exciting every week has i find new vintage treasures.I started a blog about my finds but i buy that much stuff every week and in such a big amount i found it hard to keep up with blogging it.You seem to go charity shop shopping and car booting a lot and buy a lot like me, do you ever find yourself running out of space, having too much stuff? how do you manage, do you have regular clearouts? I have been going carboots that long that i filled the house nearly to the roof and i find it hard to part with stuff.I love your blog, i like to see your bargains and how you style them, you have a great style.I really like the flowery shorts and for 20p what a bargain! they are perfect for summer.I like the other vintage shorts you got too they will go with lots of things.
