A Smaller and Simpler Life: A Smaller Life

A Smaller Life - A Smaller Price Tag

I was in a shopping mood

But not with a shopping budget

So I rifled the rails in four charity shops

And found treasures to buy in three of them

A 'Klass' top

A 'VanHeusen' floral extravaganza

A 'Fat Face' fine knit

A bog standard 'George' check shirt that called out to me

A Principles 'Ben De Lisi' top

And finally a stripey Marks and Spencer 'Autograph' top

I also bought a taupe coloured scarf

A long, wide Pasmina style number

But that's to use as a door curtain

Sometimes Smaller lives get draughty

Not a bad haul

Six things for me to wear

And one for the 'van

For less than £30

I'm happy ... and still solvent

💜

Great bargains, I really love the green check shirt, just the sort of thing I potter about in. Are you able to tell us a bit more about the van, I'm intrigued?

Very Good Finds

I wish I was two sizes smaller then all my shopping would be at charity shops, instead of just some.
Maybe I should find the willpower for that diet

I always think that the kind of people who donate their unwanted clothes to charity shops are the kind of people who probably spend a lot on clothes in the first place - hence some good bargains if you can be bothered to trawl through. Love yours.

I have a taupe scarf. Its a long , very long soft cotton scarf that is more like a comforting hug than a scarf, and I wear it everywhere...........its my comfort blanket. I wear it when I am gardening, when I walk the dogs or just even when I need it.

Recently I lost it - couldnt remember where I had left it - so I asked everyone to look out for it - but I found it eventually in my cupboard! I was so relieved!

When I showed my work colleague the scarf and told her I was pleased I had found it as it is precious, she looked at it and said 'what that old rag??'

I dont talk to her anymore - she has no soul when it comes to scarfs .............and hugs!

well done for bargain hunting ..............Zaz xx

A Smaller and Simpler Life is my blog.

I use it to chart how I feel and what I do day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year. Simply happenings and musings on a life ... my life. In it I also express my views and opinions and say what I do and occasionally how I do it. I am hoping that this will prove to be a useful reminder for me in the future ... when the marbles that I have left finally roll away down a hill of my own making.

If you chose to copy or follow along with anything that I do or talk about doing, it is assumed that you will do so with care and consideration, and question where necessary any methods or techniques that I use to your own satisfaction and match them to your own circumstances.

The pictures on each blog post are taken by me, or on occasion found on Google Images, unless otherwise credited, and as such my photographs should not be borrowed or used elsewhere without my consent. If you ask nicely I usually give it.
