Op shop love



So I like most people love a good rummage through an op shop
We have one here in town where I live but there are 4 in the town 5 mins drive from us.
Anyway this morning after a coffee at the cafe over the road I thought, you know what today may just be my lucky day .... AND IT WAS
Firstly I scored 3 pairs of jeans for a grand total of $9
One pair is a super comfy pair of Levis, one is a Gap pair - kind of boyfriend style and then a pair of no name skinnies.

And then I thought - mmm Don't want to be greedy but maybe its worth the drive over the bridge to check out 2 others as well ... and I am so glad I did.
I scored 6 pretty pink pillowcases for $1
and then this purple floral sheet set for $4

PLUS my most favourite of all favourites these boots for $10 - hardly even worn, perfect condition, leather and in my size.

HOW LUCKY AM I!!

Add all of these to the green jumper I scored 2 weeks ago for $5 and I am now fully kitted out with
3 pairs of jeans, a jumper and a pair of boots for a grand total of $24
plus lovely bedding for a fiver!!

So chuffed.
And after my post yesterday about my wardrobe dilemma kind of ironic.
Now I have scored these great oppie finds I have promised myself that I am going to spend some money on good quality tops / cardigans that I love ....

Have you had any op shop lucky recently?

Um, the clothing gods were shining on you my friend. How cool is this loot?? I am mighty impressed with your op-shopping prowess Lizeylou. LOVE the jeans, the boots rock and that green jumper is gorgeous.
Those sheets remind me of ones I had as a little girl... I so wish I still had them.
