No, I’m not about to show you lots of pictures of sweaty people running around in the bush in their school uniforms with teachers yelling at them and while they carry all the clothes they had been wearing while they were freezing cold. Instead I’m going to show you what I did on the day I should have been one of these people.
Op-shop until you drop!

The first shop we went into was in Williams Town, an ideal place for someone looking for some treasures as there are many “well off” people there who put stuff in the op-shops but dont look there them selfs. I found myself a pair look-a-like converses for only $4. This lit up my day! I also got the brown shoes for the same price, I found them after digging through the mens shoes. The white pair however, I found in the last op-shop we went to. There was a HUGE pile of shoes for only $3 so I got these ones. The heel is perfect =]

Next up I got this bright blue turtle neck jumper/dress. In the same op-shop my mum bought a pair of long black boots for $4. I wasnt able to get a picture of them but they are awesome. Unfortunatly not leather though.


While I was going through the bags I almost completely missed this but when I looked again I found this bag and just fell inlove with it!! Althought it looks quite small it holds quite alot of stuff. It has many zips and pockets inside.
We followed my sisters book “The treasure hunters guide” which is full of op-shops in all of melbournes suburbs. While we were in spotswood I read a blurb about an op-shop that really got my attention…
This shop has a huge amazing collection of never worn old leather womens shoes from the 1940s onwards. Most are priced at $20. There is a whole room dedicated to shoes…
But, to my disapointment, although yes, there was a whole room dedicated to shoes it was so over crowded that it was too hard to find anything. They were also not with there pairs so even if I did find something good I couldnt find the other shoes. I was pretty annoyed. The whole shop was a bit scary. You walk into a TINY room that looks like it leads no where. I was looking around and mum just disapeared I looked around and saw a small door that lead into another small room. This one had lots of corridoors that lead into other rooms. I got lead into a medium size room that was jam-packed full of clothes. There was a huge row of knits that I had a very good look through.

I got this gorgeous purple cardigan, it said it was a large so I freaked out but then I put it on and it fit like a dream. I fell inlove with yet another thing.
This outfit it also what I wore today =]
Singlet Top: Cotton On
Dress: American Apparel
Tights: need to go in the bin
Shoes:My gorgeous friend Shani gave these to me the other day at school. She text me the day before and asked what shoe size I was and then brought these to school, they have quite a big heal but there still comfy.

Ebay…

I also got both of these jackets that I will soon be putting on Ebay. I’ll tell you all when there on
