Although it might seem a bit late in the year to talk about summer fashion I actually think that these times of seasonal transition are often when we are the most in need of style inspiration. With this in mind, I decided to venture to my local Salvos and try to style a few outfits that would fit with the end of summer vibes - and hopefully inspire both myself and the readers of this blog to take advantage of our last few weeks of warm (or warm-ish) weather by wearing some fun summery (or summery-ish) looks.

To give you a taste of the amazing stuff you can find on the Salvos online store, I went through the site and picked out my top ten favourite pieces available at the moment.

Sale season is upon us, and this Black Friday, the 25th of November, Salvos Stores will be offering exclusive $2 deals across select stores. Click through to see which stores near you will be included...
