It’s New Year’s Eve this weekend and with so many great events to choose from, the outfit has be spot on. While many people might have had their ‘look’ prepared for months, others may prefer to shop the post Christmas sales, or even see what the high street has to offer.
Similarly, changes in the way we shop have seen more people avoiding fast fashion retailers in favour of second-hand, vintage and charity shops. Hotukdeals revealed through research that since the start of the cost of living crisis, 63 percent of people are choosing to shop second-hand. Meanwhile, data from the Charity Retail Association found that sales at their 9,000 shops were up by around 10 per cent.
With this in mind, I decided to visit the charity shops of Withington and Didsbury to try and pick up a stellar outfit on a strict budget of £20.
