Best Op Shopping Day Ever Pt. 1: Adorable Red 50’s Style skirt!

It is with great excitement and pleasure that I introduce to you my “Best Op Shopping Day Ever” series! Spawned only Today after (you guessed it) my Best Op Shopping Day ever (funny that!), I thought it only fair that I share my plentiful bounty with you, the internet!

Today started out as any other day off, woke up late, chatted online to my American boyfriend (pine), made a delicious breakfast of wholemeal toast, nuttelex & avocado which was, incidentally, GOD DAMN AMAZING! And slummed around on the internet for a while.

I was meant to meet my friend for cupcakes & sheltering from the rain but she had to cancel and so I prepared myself for a day of op shopping.

Apple for a snack? Check.
Bottle of water? Check.
Ipod so I don’t get frustrated halfway through trawling through racks? Check (Seriously, such a life saver)

And off I went… on what would become talked about through the generations, passed along in whispers – people could only dream of such days of fortune & treasure finding.

Okay I am getting over that now, but seriously. It was the best. I went to 6 op shops all together, and every single one of them provided me with some form of amazing find. I felt literally blessed. And as I continued from store to store, I could not stop gushing to store ladies about my finds, they all seemed happy for me haha.

I also learned some more op shopping tips which I will share with you in the future! But enough waffling, here is one of my favourite finds of the day:

Red “Crimplene” skirt with navy trim, very swishy & twirly. 100% fantastic.

It cost me $4. My life is complete basically. The red patent heart belt is not a part of the skirt FYI. It was from Valleygirl over a year ago. The shoes from Novo (for my burlesquey dancing!) & the coat is from Lush. Twig legs and pale ghostie skin courtesy of my mama.

I’ll be posting one or two pieces every day until they’re all accounted for!

Let me know what you think! xox
