As part of #SecondHandSeptember, we decided to share a mini charity shop haul with you to show you some of the bargains you can pick up.Last week, I told you all about why we were joining in with #SecondHandSeptember and I promised a mini charity shop haul so that's what today's post is all about. I roped Miss Frugal in to help me with because (a) she has a little mini eBay business that she set up as she couldn't get a Summer job and (b) she's a teenage girl who knows her own style and has never (until recently) been a fan of wearing charity shop clothes.
