No matter where you are in the world you can always find beautiful clothes that can be bought on a budget. This is undoubtedly my favourite type of shopping - anyone can go into a designer store and buy an amazing outfit when they have an unlimited amount of $$$ to spend. However putting together an outfit bought on a budget is a fashionista's real test as it is down to your own individual sense of style, be it chic or quirky, and how you put things together as well as having that real eye for a bargain.  I have been doing this for years but only in the last year have I realised that it is indeed my passion and that it is time to do something fun with it which I hope will be of encouragement and help to others and indeed our world. Each one of us who recycles and up-cycles clothing is an enivronmentally green queen for our beautiful planet so don't let snooty folk make you feel anything less than great for what you are doing and wearing!! Now let me introduce you to my fabulous mannequin and model for all my lovely finds - the gorgeous 'Maisie'!
