A glam mum has ditched the high street after previously splurging up to £250 a month on new clothes - and now buys designer outfits from charity shops for just a few pounds. Heidi Ondrak, 51, made a New Year's resolution to shop pre-worn only for a YEAR when she noticed her wardrobe was full of unused items bought in lockdown.
She used to think nothing of shelling out £50 for a dress or spending £150 on a pair of boots, and would regularly splurge £200 on a single internet binge. But when her energy bills trebled and food bills doubled, she set her sights on charity shops, jumble sales and online auctions for all her wardrobe essentials.
She's managed to bag a Peruvian Connection £198 cardigan for £4 and a Hobbs dress worth £200 dress for £10. The savvy mum picked out an entire spring capsule wardrobe for her daughter for just £21 from a car-boot sale. Her favourite outfit cost just £19 - including a 1980s Liz Clareborne jacket bought for £1.99 from a charity shop, leather shorts and boots from Vinted and a shirt from BHF.
