Falling in love with the item – which she thought was “vintage” – Holly bought it and couldn’t resist wearing it when she went clubbing with friends.
However, she later realized the shirt was actually a Waitrose uniform.
On a video On her TikTok page, she said: “I just realized that the shirt I bought in a charity shop last week and wore all weekend is actually a Waitrose uniform.
“Like, what? I wore this to the club on Friday night.”
She only realized it when she saw the buttons on his shirt, bearing the Waitrose logo.
Holly added that she hoped the “sexy DJ” she had her eye on at the club was looking at her back, but joked that he probably thought she had “just finished my shift at the cheese counter.”
Worst of all, someone came up to Holly at the club and asked where she got the shirt, to which she proudly said she bought it from the charity shop as part of her quest for “sustainable” fashion.
She also told the person she didn’t think they “could get another one” but then laughed: “Go to Waitrose Holloway Road.
“Everyone’s using one. Jesus Christ!”
Holly also shared a screenshot of a man wearing uniform in the TikTok video.
Top charity shop tips for getting a bargain
Ross Dutton has been manager of Crisis’ charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity shop in Finsbury Park, London.
Choose your area – As a rule, the more elegant the place, the better the quality of the donated clothes.
Don’t stop there – If you see something you like, buy it as it will probably be gone when you come back
Beware of cut labels – Some of your favorite stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate unsold stock during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they have to cut the tags off the clothes.
Stay at home – Although some charities have their own website, such as Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell on dedicated eBay stores such as the British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains you would in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it might be worth checking out online too.
“You have a bag with two different meanings in the club that night!” Holly captioned the clip.
“I’m laughing like a former employee who hated that uniform,” one person commented on the video.
“When your shift is at 10 but you get to the club at 9,” added another.
“That could very well be my shirt – I forgot to return my uniform and ended up putting it in a charity bag,” laughed a third.
“My friend thought she had bought a vintage sweatshirt in a charity shop, but it turned out to be a sports kit from a local school,” said another person.
“The kids went through the same thing!”
“We agree, it’s a beautiful look!” the official Waitrose account wrote in the comments section.
