OP shopping has its highs and lows. Some days you go out and... zip. Nothing. Other days, you're rolling in op-shop gold. 

I bagged a fair-sized haul last weekend with print linen skirt, broderie anglaise shirt, bead necklace, wooden earrings and leather sandals for a sweet $31 - all from the one op shop. 

Now, think about that. Do a mental calculation and add up what a new shirt, skirt, leather shoes and accessories might cost you at the mall. Even from a budget chain store you'd be up for at least double, if not triple, that and it's more than likely the items would stretch, shrink, unravel, fade or pill after a few washes. The skirt I bought is lined, made of pure cotton and pure linen and washed beautifully. The shirt is cotton and again, with a little soaking, washed up clean and crisp. The leather shoes have barely a scuff mark on them and I've already had complements on the accessories. 

So, had any luck at the op shops? 

Linen skirt: $9, Vinnies
Broderie anglaise shirt: $8, Vinnies
Leather sandals: $10, Vinnies
Bead necklace: $2, Vinnies
Wooden earrings: $2, Vinnies
