Magpie Monday Tally Ho

My daughter katie loves horse riding and the stables she rides at decided to put on a show for the kids to take part in.

We were told not to go out spending a fortune on expensive showgear and that it would be fine just to put them in something smart looking.

I didn't have much for katie to wear so headed to my favourite thrifty place EBay and found just what she needed for just a few quid.

Riding trousers were brand new i got for a couple of pounds.

The little black waistcoat was also just a couple of pounds.

And i sweet little lilac coloured tie for £2

She already had a white school shirt and her riding boots

Thought she looked so smart :)


She had a wonderful time for her first time showing.





Posing again with her little rosette ♥

  4. oh how gorgeous, she looks wonderful and well done. It has always been my philosophy that you do not have to spend a fortune to look good. Just need a bit of commonsense and taste.

    1. Thankyou and i fully agree im always getting compliments on how well dressed katie is in her usual clothes and most of them are 2nd hand, we live on a budget and im a person who refuses to live on credit but i've never failed to find beautiful 2nd hand clothing for fantastic prices and im not ashamed of the fact that most hers and my clothes are 2nd hand ;)
