Where do you find these? I love op shop shopping (I go at least once a week) and sometimes I find gems, sometimes not...
I guess the latest item I have found is a pink sheer Wish cami for $3.50....
Brisbanites, which are your most :heart:ed op shops?

Answer:
There used to be a fantastic one at Sandgate, but it's not there anymore. Well, there is one, but I think it's different. Either that, or it got cr appy over the years.

Answer:
I was brought up op-shopping by my mother. I think for the first ten years of my life everything we wore was either handmade or second-hand.
I feel you either have an eye for it, or you don't. Some days I will wake up and the energy in the air says to me "Go second-hand shopping today sloane" and guaranteed I will go that day and find something amazing.
My favourite recent purchase was from everyone's favourite Saver's - Brunswick - I scored a short-sleeved safari-cut belted summer jacket in navy with small white polkadots - Yves Saint Laurent Made in France with spare buttons in labelled packet in pocket - for ten bucks. You couldn't wipe the smile off my face for days.
And my clothes-collector aunt (used to work for magazines in London in the 80's) verified it as the real deal, then offered to buy it from me. No way auntie - I know when I've scored!

Answer:
Today I got a shift dress that has nude lining under cream lace. Was $20, but they were having a 50% off sale, so it ended up at just $10! Shame there was nothing else there though, would of loved some more reduced pieces.
Then at another store I got an adorable yellow knit vest for $7.
There was a really cute white dress with a tailored bodice, low-v back and full skirt for just $11. It was a bit big, but I'm tossing up about going back and getting it.

Answer:
a light blue givenchy clutch for $6 from st vinnies and a black chanel turtleneck for $5 from salvos...
i'm an avid op-shopper...everytime i'm strapped for cash i go vintage shopping & i love it!

Answer:
My best ever op-shop buy is my vintage (70's?) wool coat - perfect condition. It's full length, soft grey-blue featuring cream stitching, double-breasted (kind of a military style) with a big collar, cuffs on the arms and short belt piece at the back. Nips in at the waist and softly flares out around the legs....fits me like a glove. Made in England, I think it cost me about $15...

Answer:
The best thing I have bought is a 60’s style summery black, red and white skirt for $14 at Irving Baby in Adelaide (a retro 2nd hand clothing store). I get compliments every time I wear it!
