So I've spent one day in Hull and my first impressions of this town are really positive. I loved the architecture of this town, it reminded me of seaside resorts in Yorkshire, like Scarborough or Saltburn-by-the-Sea. I'm glad I had a chance to visit this town. Anyway, I also managed to visit three charity shops.
The shops I visited didn't disappoint me either. I actually made purchases in all three shops. I was especially impressed by the British Red Cross shop - it's a very well looked after shop, spacious and well organised. I was pleasantly surprised by a wide range of clothing for sizes 14 and higher. It was also very easy to navigate through the rails as the shop staff separated their clothes by colour. I didn't see many items of upper market however the shop has such a variety of styles and colours that you could renew your whole wardrobe there! I also noticed a few very nice dresses. In the end I purchased a pair green (-ish) Massimo Dutti trousers. I'll be writing about them in my next post.
Apparently the British Red Cross shops have their own loyalty programme so I was given a card and was told that I would collect points for each purchase in any of their stores! What a brilliant idea! I don't see many of their stores in the UK though. It's the first one I've been to outside London. However, there's one in Sheffield as well.
Next stop - the BHF. It's a nice little shop with lots of quality items. I love their shops for the fact that you can get absolute bargains on quality items. This time I purchased a leather Gap shopper bag for £6.
Finally, Barnados. I loved the atmosphere in the shop. The shop floor was spacious and bright. It was neat and easy to navigate. In the end I purchased a pair of Autograph loafers (£5) and a Per Una boiled wool biker jacked (£9).
These three items (loafers, the bag and the jacket), combined with my other items, will make a great casual Friday look for the office environment.
What a productive day I had! I hope to come back to Hull once again and explore it properly.
