I’m a charity shop guru, the four items to look out for so you’re sorted for Spring and Summer on the cheap
A BURGAIN-HUNTING fashionista has listed the four items to look out for when shopping for Spring and Summer in a charity shop.
Over the years, second hand shops have become all the rage – and one of those who loves visiting them is TikTok user Monica (@themonicaway).
With the warmer weather swiftly approaching, the sustainable shopper took to TikTok to list the four must-haves you should look out for.
Monica, who claimed that over 90 per cent of her wardrobe is charity store buys, started off the video with a linen maxi dress.
This, she added, should preferably be in a neutral shade, such as navy, black, white or beige.
”These are so easy to style,” the bargain hunter told her 34k followers on the app.
Next up was a pair of espadrilles – a classic Spring and Summer staple to have in your wardrobe.
”I wear them on holiday. You can wear them for work, you can wear them in the day […] – I just love them.”
When browsing in the store, Monica also recommended to look out for a wide brim hat.
”These are so easy to find affordably in charity shops and they just look so elegant, they dress up any outfits.”
Last but not least is finding a straw bag, which, just like the espadrilles, will go with just about anything.
”They come back year after year. They’re timeless, practical.”

Fellow style enthusiasts thanked Monica and over a dozen flocked to comments to share their thoughts.
One fanatic exclaimed: ”Your bag is lush.”
A second penned: ”since watching your videos I’ve been paying a lot more attention to the quality of the fabrics and feel I’m making better purchases.”
”I wish so desperately I looked good in hats. I love a wide brim hat. My head is just too big,” someone else chuckled.
”You always find the best treasures,” a fashionista couldn’t get over Monica’s buys.
