I’m a charity shop guru, the four items to look out for so you're sorted for Spring and Summer on the cheap | The Sun

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.''

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.
