£50 for a holiday capsule wardrobe - charity shop haul and try on (size 12-14) mid size fashion

I’ve decided to go to Milan on the work trip after all as I think it will do me good after mum’s funeral. I treated myself to a whole new capsule wardrobe for £50 courtesy of my local Mencap charity shop in Old Catton, Norwich. Comment below with your favourite item or look.

Indigo is a Marks and Spencer brand..... also Viscose isn't made from plastic... it is derived from plant material so even though it has been processed it is still considered a natural fibre. I thought this might interest you. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your mum. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers xxx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Ooh yes that is interesting Lisa thanks for sharing x also thanks for kind words about mum x

Hi Rochenda, my friend and I have recently discovered your page while looking for charity shop hauls. We ended up staying up until 4am watching your videos and feel like we know you and would imagine we would get along well. We are also from Norfolk and took inspiration from your trip to Mensa , a charity shop we had not been to before and we picked up lots of goodies. Even spotted a leopard print dress you would have liked! Hope your trip went well and look forward to another video soon! Keep being you. Sarah and Louise xxx

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Hi Sarah and Louise thank you so much for your comment! How lovely! Where are you from in Norfolk? Much love xx

Hello to you in Glasgow! Thank you for kind words xx

[@Katysarah82]

Good bag, you need to have a shoulder bag and make sure it has a good clasp on it as Italy is unfortunately very know for very clever pickpockets! When I was in Rome my bag was an over body bag with zips and clasps x

[@BudgetFoodieUK]

Thanks for the tips! Xx

[@belindatraviss4926]

Loved this reel. What an amazing haul, nothing that great where I live. The puff sleeve top is my favourite item. Hope you have a super trip, you really deserve it, love how you put things together, what a fashionista you are x

You narrowed it down really well! V stylish and v good legs girl, if I may say so !!! 😂 personally I loved the white suit trousers rather than the flowy skirt or the brownish trousers but you still look great in those too!

“Worst fashion blogger ever” excuse me but where else are we gonna get super cute cat content, funny made up songs sung to the cat, recipes, and fun budget challenges in multiple categories all in one place?? Nowhere I tell you! All the outfits looked fantastic, I wish I had half the fashion sense you do but alas I was raised by a single father and am still developing a sense at 30.
