Last Saturday I decided it was time to have a wee op-shopping adventure again, it had been a long time since I'd hit up the op shops. Usually op-shopping is a solitary activity, but this time Ria agreed to come along with me so that made the morning a whole lot more fun - we even had delicious quesadilla's for lunch.
We did all of our op-shopping in Kilbirnie and Newtown - unfortunately where I actually live in Wellington Central there is only one op-shop and it is well picked over. So when it's time to go op-shopping I need to get out of the central city.
Here were my finds for the day - in no particular order:
GOLD SHOES

I bought gold shoes and they even have a heel! If you follow my blog you'll know that I usually run screaming from heels but I couldn't resist these. I wore them to a play on Saturday night and I didn't end up with nasty blisters or sore feet. I won't wear them to work as I have a stand up desk and they aren't the kind of shoes you can stand up in all day. However they will be rad for special nights out. Also did I mention they are gold? Amazing!
PARTY DRESS

This dress was included with the shoes for free as it had a small stain on the hem - I was thinking that I may have to look up some kind of intensive stain removal techniques on the internet to remove the stain. I was even considering shortening it to get rid of the stain.
The I washed it and when it came out of the machine the stain had disappeared - turns out it just needed a good wash.
Considering wearing this wee frock on Christmas day! I think its super cute, but it is made from very weird fabric. It's a little like the kind of fabric a light raincoat would be made from. I am totally cool with that though - it rains a lot in New Zealand so its an all weather dress.
ROSE PRINT SKIRT

Under normal circumstances I think I would run screaming from a "rose print skirt" - it brings up images of pale pastels and sickly sweet patterns.
But this rose print skirt is pretty rad! It's a wee bit Gothic - I think it will look pretty great with my doc martins and fishnets.
It's a little bit crumpled in the pictures as it had just finished drying - unfortunately it looks like the kind of skirt that MAY need ironing, which means I may only own it for a short time as I am not friends with the iron.
HEART BUTTON TOP

This is a simple little top with a slightly vintage feel - when I am sick of wearing it I think I will cut off the buttons and sew them on something else. The buttons are the main reason I bought this top.
PRINCESS BUBBLE GUM DRESS

This dress doesn't look like anything special on the hanger - it just looks like a pink vintage mess. But trust me it looks a whole lot better when I'm wearing it and I love the cute buttons on the shoulder.
*RAWR* ANIMAL PRINT CROSS FRONT DRESS

I have been trying to mix up my style a little bit lately and get out of always wearing the same type of frock. This isn't my usual style but I really liked it on so I thought I would give it a go - I'll have to use it in a outfit post soon!
Well that was Saturday's op-shopping - I also went to a clothes swap on Sunday so it was a weekend of clothes. I'll post photos of the goodies I got at that event soon xoxox

What a great haul! Isn't it funny that people chuck out clothes just because they need a wash? I don't think I've ever bought anything with an unshiftable stain.
Can't wait to see you rocking that pink frock or that black gingham number. x
Yay! Op shopping success is always a thrill. I LOOOVE that gingham frock - can't wait to see you you wear it.
