Rohan 'denim plus' skirt

This is a picture of me wearing my bargain Rohan 'denim plus' skirt. I got this skirt from eBay for less than £13 (including p&p). The full price of the current version of this Rohan skirt is £57.

Rohan stuff is always excellent and I am particularly pleased with this skirt. It has a bit of stretch and is very comfortable to wear. The 'denim plus' fabric is lightweight and designed to be easy to wash and quick to dry so it's great for travel.

I buy quite a few items of clothing on eBay. As well as saving money, it also feels good to re-use pre-loved clothing in this way. Sometimes people are de-cluttering, or getting rid of stuff after they have lost or gained weight. There is some good quality clothing available, though I tend to stick to familiar brands where I know my size. That way I am unlikely to have to return items.

The photo above was taken for FrOctober - which involves wearing dresses and skirts throughout October to raise awareness of, and money for, peri-natal illness including post-natal depression. 

I will be linking up with Magpie Monday at Me and My Shadow and the latest Frugal Friday Fashion Show at Family Budgeting.

  1. Oh I must look up FrOctober - I hadn't heard of that.

    As a total fluke, I'm wearing a skirt today too, which is very unusual for me.

    Love your bargain denim. x

    1. I love finding good stuff on eBay - though sometimes I let myself get outbid if other people are prepared to pay silly money

    1. Thank you! I think I look slightly awkward in this photo - it reminds of photos of me when I was a little girl ;-) But I decided to include the picture cos it shows how nice the skirt looks.

    1. Some of my friends think I'm eccentric for loving second-hand stuff but one of the lovely things about blogging is I've discovered other folk just like me ;)
