Skirts, Skirts and Skirts

I've posted a heap today because I've finally had a day off to do it and I really really wanted to share my finds. Hope I haven't posted too much at once.

I was at St Kilda Salvos on Carlisle street a few weeks ago and got this Supre beautiful skirt. It was only $3.50 since it was a half price tag item that week. Love the shape and the material. It will be so nice for summer.

I got this cute skirt at Clayton Salvos back in June for $1. It has adorable little cats all over it and looks great with leggings. Looks like it's homemade.

I got this fantastic homemade skirt at an Op-Shop in Williamstown that I have forgotten the name of. It was only $2 or so. It's made of that shiny material that always looks very "op-shop" but I love the shape of it.

thrifting days

Hi again! Haven't posted anything in awhile, even though I have been op shopping quite a bit (too much if you ask my boyfriend, haha!)
These are a few things which I bought quite awhile ago but didn't end up posting.
I went to the Care Bargain Centre (on Puckle St in Moonee Ponds) and found this vintage dress for $15, I just couldn't go past the bright red colour and the peplum! I think the design is pretty 80s. What's with vintage dresses and having a drop waist/that extra puffy material above the waist?? It's so unflattering, especially if you have a large bust! XD I also have to cut it shorter... i'm still not sure whether I should keep this or not though because I think the waist looks a bit weird :S
I also bought a leather bag, I think it was $4, a tan belt for $3 and a cute wide brim boater style hat for $2. I can't wait to wear it when it's Summer! I'm still on the lookout for a boater hat with a small brim, please tell me if you've seen one somewhere :D
I also went to the Salvation Army store on Mt Alexander Rd that day, and I got this polka dot blouse for $6, I love polka dots and cute collars!
And I also got this black top with a lace back for $4.
So, good shopping day. I've got quite a few more posts lined up for the next couple of weeks! Feel free to check out my personal blog Sweethearts and Celebrations for photos and random stuff :)

Hampton Salvos - Opening this Saturday

Just a reminder to everyone that Hampton Salvos opens this Saturday. I don't have the address but have been told that it's where a Blockbuster and Dominos Pizza used to be. It will be a whole store that hasn't been picked over so might be a trip worth taking.

Oakleigh Salvos

I got this a little while ago from Oakleigh Salvos. Because it's a bit water damaged, it was on the way to the big bin in the sky (the skip). However, I begged and pleaded and got it for $1. I took it on the train all the way back from Oakleigh to Williamstown via Flinders Street. Boy did I get some weird looks from people.

Bentleigh Salvos

Over the past few weeks I've spent many many hours at Bentleigh Salvos (475 Centre Road). It's quite a nice little store with some great merchandising and even greater staff (Sandra the manager is a legend). Much to the amusement of my housemates I got this cute little Roxy hat for summer. It was only $1.

I also got this great t-shirt that seems to have come from Singapore zoo. Love the eyes on the Lion. Again, only $1 but the best part is that the eyes glow in the dark !!!!

Adventures In Williamstown

Got this cool jacket today from Williamstown Uniting Church Op Shop in Stevedore Street (Just behind the Coles). It's Ishka and it was only $5. Great little place for cheap stuff.

Two tops and a tote bag.

Over at the Brotherhood in Eltham, they were having a half price sale. I found these last week.
The cutest totebag - black with coloured high heel shoes, and heaps of useful pockets - $1.50.


Black teeshirt with darling little Scottie dogs applique - $1.


Useful black over-blouse in a kind of fishnet material - $1.50
