I had luck thrifting!
Yep! I had luck thrifting.
The skirt and handbag are the product of thrifting a week ago, and the purse and dress are what I found yesterday.

Floral Skirt:
Originally from Primark, I bought this at a charity shop for only £2. I LOVE it. It really flatters my figure, nips in at the waist then floats out.
There are these 4 buttons at the front, which I'm not absolutely sure about. They are kind of...floppy? And I think that I could cut them off to make the skirt look better, but I would love to know what's your opinion? Maybe I could replace them with different buttons.
At the back of the skirt there is a zip which isn't faulty at all, so I'm very lucky.
Underneath the pattern, some netting and an underskirt to make it 'poof' outwards.

Handbag:
I'm not sure where this is orginally from, there is a label on the inside which says 'r2 fashion logo' - a brand I've never heard of. I picked this little beauty up for just £3.99!
I love this so much! Words can't describe.
It's quite an unusual colour, in some lights it looks brown, in others purple and in some black. The feel of it is lovely, like suede.
On one side of the bag, the handles have squares attached, but on the other side, just the same patent material as the straps.
The zip and handles are made of the same patent material, and neither are damaged at all!
On the inside, however, there is a tiny stain but this does not bother me one bit. There is a zipped compartment and phone pocket inside.
The bottom isn't even scraped at all! To be honest, it is in pristine condition, so clean, I think I am so lucky to find such a unique bag.

Leopard Print Purse:
Originally from River Island! Purses this size from RI cost £17, how much did I pay for it at a charity shop? ....Just two. Two pounds!
I love the design - leopard print and nude colour go so well together - and the purse is out there but not in your face loud, just what I wanted.
The zip is coming apart a little, but for £2, frankly I don't care! If this comes off completely, I can just replace it with a ribbon of some sort.
There are so many compartments! It's an endlessly roomy purse, just what I wanted. There are 4 plain compartments, space for 6 cards and a zipped pocket in the middle.
Here's the purse compared to a 50 pence piece, so it's quite big, but that's why I love it so much - no fishing for coins franticly at the counter, there's more than enough space to organise it.

Dress:
This cost me a mere £3 - not bad at all.
It comes from Primark originally and I know it's never been worn before because when I bought it, it still had the Primark label on it!
There is a little tie at the back, a lovely little added extra detail.
I also adore the print on this dress, gorgeous intricate floral details.
It is quite low cut, so I might have to wear it with a little bandeau top underneath.
And the sleeves are short and look like this.

Overall, I think that to get a skirt, handbag, purse and dress for under £11 is marvellous!
I love everything I bought, I'm so happy I had luck thrifting.
Feel free to comment any opinions you have on these items, and also - what would you team with the skirt to wear as an outfit? And the dress? Opinions are very welcome.
