[ recently went on a shopping spree. It's time, after all, to bust these out again:
It is FINALLY getting hot here in Melbourne and I needed to stock up on spring and summer clothes. But as the temperature rises my bank account balance drops, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money to spruce up my wardrobe. So.. Op-shopping it is!
Melbourne is a treasure trove of awesome op shops and with blogs such as Trish Hunter Finds and I Op therefore I Am it is obvious that Melbournians love their op-shopping. True to being a neophite Melbournian, I have slowly become a regular at op shops mostly to fill my bookcase with a wide variety of second hand books.
But let’s get down to the loot I came home with when I scoured the op shops in Preston shall we?
So I came home with a big satisfied smile on my face with:
Salvation Army 331 High Street, Preston
grey top from Country Road $4.99
blue top from Country Road $6.99
Witchery Singlet $4.99
Scrooges 385 High Street, Preston
blue dress from Glassons $8.00
St Mary’s Opportunity Shop 629 Plenty Rd, Preston
black tailored dressed $4.00
————————————————————-
$29.00
So you see I bought great spring and summer staples for less than $30.00 and all for a good cause too!
