....and the Op Shop Gods were smiling


Dress $25

I stumbled onto a little goldmine earlier this week.... I've lost about ten kilos over the last twelve months, and so most of my clothes don't actually fit me properly anymore.


Top $10 Shorts $10

I've been partaking in some regular op shopping trying to find some bargain clothes, and then this week I found that my local Salvos shop had received a couple of truckloads of Myer sample stock. On Tuesday my sister and I picked up about 10 tops and a skirt for the princely sum of $75.


Jacket $20

Today we returned for some more bargains, to find that they'd increased the prices, but there were still some more beauties on offer.

I now have an entire new summer wardrobe of brand new clothes for about $150. Now that's what I call a bargain!

    That is so, so wonderful for you - the grey top is my favourite. Also great that you lost so much weight. Congratulations. Cherrie

    nice stuff! snap, this time last year I was, well, fat after the twins so had to head to the shops today for new clothes! I'd never get good finds like that in sydney so 2 pairs of shorts and 2 tops at target for $106 was my bargain!

    at least I have shorts and things to wear now that its warm! nothing more depressing than finding there is nothing to wear that fits!
