Things to do before you're 30: Task 4 COMPLETE
As previously mentioned, task four of my 'things to do before you're 30' was to spend a maximum of £5 on an outfit to wear at Jake's house warming party. I had a good look around Kenilworth charity shops on Saturday afternoon, and I was struggling to find clothes cheap enough. That was until I stepped into the 'Cat's Protection League'. I knew I had struck gold when I saw a perfect pair of brown cords (every charity shop's flagship product) for £2. After trying on a few different tops, I settled on a long sleeve t-shirt for just £1.50. That left me a whole £1.50 under budget, so I decided to accessorise. I found a fantastic scarf and belt for just 50 pence each, the perfect additions to my great new look. So I went to the party in my £4.50 outfit, and nobody said a word. Task four accomplished.

The smartest you have looked since you left uni!
Scott used to have a belt like that.
Congratulations! I knew you could do it.
I am sure you must have been the most handsome man at the party.
Any flea bites? That place scares me.
I didn't notice any bites, but Jake and Emy's cat didn't come anywhere near me at the party.
What happened to the pants and shoes!!
Great outfit, it does not even look second hand!
Sadly charity shops don't seem to sell pants, so I substituted a pair of my own. The shoes started at £5, which on their own, wouldn't have made a great outfit.
Okay, translate please: when you mentioned "cords," I assume you were referring to trousers....& that pants are underpants??
you're correct
cords = trousers
pants = underwear
OK as I set a loe budget I will let you off, espically as you came in under budget.
So I wonder what happens to all the second hand pants?
They all go to heaven.
