Fashion: Welcome to our Oxfam family by Louisa

We are happy to present you our vintage family with Emeline, Tessa and David. The idea of today was to show that we have some lovely vintage clothes in our shop with very attractive prices ! 

In the role of the father we have the very dandy David, he is wearing a purple silk shirt (£5.99) with a brown jacket (£7.99) to add the unusual item in the outfit we chose a wonderful tie with elephants on it (£2.99).

Tessa is the oldest sister and she is wearing a brown jacket () and a sweet blue and white dress (£3.99). To have the classy touch we added a pearl necklace with a cute little bow on it (£1.99).

Emeline is here the little sister and she is wearing a blue and gold dress (£3.99), a purple jacket (£10.99) that reminds us of David's jacket) and some perfect shoes (£5.99).

We chose to match the 3 outfits by choosing brown, dark blue and purple coloured items. We also liked to dress them with the same kind of jackets but with different colours.
