Yesterday I had my most expensive charity shop clothes purchase ever and splashed out twelve whole English pounds on a brand-new with its original tags Windsmoor coat.
It is a really lovely coat and just the right sort of weight for the Spring, it fits like it was tailor-made for me and new it must have cost somewhere in the region of £200. I was so delighted to find it that I didn't hesitate about the price. Normally I wouldn't dream of parting with such a lot of money in a CS but in this case I was more than happy to make an exception. Even the lady on the till commented that I'd got myself a good bargain there - and I had to agree.
It's lovely, what a bargain! I was brought up being told to spend the most you could afford on quality clothes, better to spend £20 on a good second-hand coat than the same amount in a cheapo shop. xxx

That's lovely! And there was I thinking Windsmoor was for really old ladies. How wrong can I be! x

£12 for quality like Windsmoor, is a snip, this coat is fabulous and will last you ages. Now all we need is a photo of you modelling it

Thats a lucky find - I brought 2 new classic Windsmoor winter coats from an outlet near us, a good 7 years ago, they cost a daft amount of money but I have them cleaned each year, they are always hung up on good coat hangers (even at work) and they are so well fitting and nice and warm and still look brand new dispite being worn throughout every winter - I think that as long as I continue to look after them they should last me another 7 years at least so when you work the cost out they have been worth it - they are such classy clasic coats aren't they - well done! xxx
