THRIFT
A WINTER WARDROBE UPDATE FROM THE OP SHOPS
June 09, 2019It's been a good haul at the op shops this weekend. I needed to update my wardrobe and a long weekend at home meant I had the time to trawl shops beyond my usual haunts.
My top scores were a woollen Ken Done jumper for $10, a cream leather skirt for $3.50 and a pair of black vintage Levi's for $15. I also added a wool skirt, hand-knitted wool beret, sparkly purple stretch skirt and a similarly luminous gold top for $26 between them - all up, a little more than $50.
I love how they all work together too: the jumper and the long knit purple skirt; the jeans and the gold top; and that yellow beret goes with it all.
I've aired those that need airing, washed those that need washing and as always, am amazed at the endurance of well-made pieces, some of my finds are easily 30 years old.
Enjoy the rest of your long weekend, and a few interesting links...
