  • I'm back in hometown this weekend in West Yorkshire visiting my parents, so I thought I would take you charity shopping with me!
    In this episode we cover secondhand gifting and find some fabulous clothing. The shop I visited today was The Kirkwood Hospice. The Kirkwood Support Life for anyone affected by a life limiting illness.

    Hi Monica. I discovered your channel today and subscribed.... and suddenly I got a notification that you have posted a video. I enjoyed this so much. I run the steam room in a charity shop and we have some lovely pieces donated to us. I always enjoy emptying the bags of donated clothing , shoes and linens. I never know what I am going to find. xx

    Hello Monica, I have been a charity shop shopper for many years, really addicted. I love your presentation style and have picked up some really worthwhile tips from you like high end brand names. Thank you so much. The little black fascinator suited you so much, you looked like our lovely Princess Kate Middleton. 💕

    The fascinator looked perfect . The fur coat was a lovely colour and suited your petite frame. The shop was brilliant quality and very low prices . I enjoy buying charity shop items that look new or looked after . It’s very good to recycle clothing . Often something gets worn once . Why not donate it and let others benefit from an item you won’t wear again ?
    Coats often are great bargains . Pure wool for example.
    Lots of new items for sale too like fluffy socks and shopping bags . I have a drawer that I collect new items in so I always have a card, chocs and a little gift for anyone. Some charity shops sell chocolate too ( in good date too) . I enjoyed your video and you have good style and knowledge of a quality item . Take care and happy bargain hunting x

    Monica, I took on board a previous video, look for small jackets. Today I picked up a linen Beige jacket, one button at top, three quarter wide sleeves. I didn't like the button but had a large pearled one and changed. Love your videos and suggestions to buy out of season too, as may be cheaper.

    and I get lots of compliments.Whereas in the high street, everybody is wearing what they see on the mannequins.

    At about 18:36 in your video, it looks like there is a Royal Copenhagen covered vegetable or casserole dish. I could be wrong, as other manufacturers make dishes in a similar pattern. However, a quick search on the Royal Copenhagen website shows their covered dishes retail for over a thousand dollars Canadian. I love the blue onion pattern, but have never been able to find anything in a charity shop yet.

I think that they are lovely, but I can't remember the last time I saw one on sale, or anyone wearing one. Maybe I am not mixing in the right circles 😂😂😂😂

    Please explain how you can tell if the shoulders fit or not.

    • @themonicaway.
      @themonicaway.  24 дня назад

      Hello! It’s entirely personal and based on your proportions, but I personally like them to fit as closely to my shoulders as possible as I’m quite small.
      For ladies with wider hips, a wider shoulder can create a really nice hourglass shape to balance out the appearance of the hips.
      Have a play with shoulder widths and see what makes you feel best ♥️ Hope that helps ♥️
