Clothing A Monkey On A Budget

It’s often remarked on how well we dress and I thought that I would divulge one of our little fashion secrets ….. carboot sales!

I know I spoilt Darrell with his Batman shirt on Saturday, but with carboot sales rife in this area over the Bank Holiday weekend I thought I would go and have a rootle to see what I could find of an on trend type nature……

…… to demonstrate how a little money can go a very long way if you are prudent ……

Darrell was a very willing model when I got home, here he is modelling a check cotton shirt, bought for 20p, smart when worn buttoned up, casual when worn over a t-shirt.

Here we see Darrell modelling a another shirt,  looking very much part of the nautical set.  Notice how professional he is looking with his hand casually resting on his hip.  This effortless fashion cost just 60p

And the boots, a snip again at 20p, not Converse, but it’s hard to tell the difference  ….. I hope Gok Wan is reading this, as he is my main fashion influence, though, if he asked Darrell (or me) to walk down a catwalk naked, I know what the answer would be!! But, if he asked Nigel ….. that would be a completely different matter!

Finally,  Darrell is modelling a very “him” type tank top, embroidered on the front with a guitar motif, again only costing 20p

Darrell has done me proud, I wonder if I should enter him in Britain’s Next Top model?  I’m sure he would win.

Look at that face …… it’s got Calvin Klein written all over it!
