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.
Oh I must look up FrOctober - I hadn't heard of that.
ReplyDeleteAs a total fluke, I'm wearing a skirt today too, which is very unusual for me.
Love your bargain denim. x
I normally wear trousers myself - but I'm quite enjoying wearing dresses and the occasional skirt this month x
DeleteLove the skirt. not come across frugal fashion friday before, sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely join in with the Frugal Friday Fashion Show this week - that top you found is gorgeous!
DeleteThat's a great buy! And I know what you mean. Always get massively excited when I spot a wish-list item on ebay.
ReplyDeleteFrOctober sounds interesting - hadn't heard of it either x
I love finding good stuff on eBay - though sometimes I let myself get outbid if other people are prepared to pay silly money
DeleteFrOctober is fun! Will do another blogpost on this soon x
I had not heard of FrOctober either.
ReplyDeleteGreat cause.
Denim skirt seems a bargain too.
I first found out about FrOctober on facebook - but lots of people seem to have missed it, so you're not the only one
DeleteIt is a cause I wanted to support, plus it's good fun!
Oh you look gorg! What a complete bargain that skirt is!
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
DeleteGreat buy, it looks fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteYou look great! I love a good bargain! And second hand is good to me!
ReplyDeleteSome 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 ;)
DeleteVery much enjoying your FrOctober updates on Facebook, keep up the good work, can't remember the last time I wore a skirt :(
ReplyDeleteIt was fun wearing frocks and skirts for a month but I'm glad to be back in trousers now :)
DeleteI do like eBay for a bargain. Well done you. Lovely skirt.
ReplyDeleteYes I must do another blogpost about eBay finds soon.
