Great luck at the Op-Shop









A quick lunchtime visit to an op-shop near my work ended in victory - with a sign on the window saying "$5 fill-a-bag" how could I walk away?!

After rifling through various racks, I came across these 3 lace bodysuits. You know when you find something awesome and you want to squeal out loud but you're afraid of scaring the other customers? One of those moments. I love the one with the little buttons down the front!

I also found this gorgeous Girl Guides belt - how awesome would this look wrapped around a long dress or skirt? "be prepared" almost my motto!

My last find was this cosy, oversize merino jersey. I haven't owned a jersey in so long, but I think this one would be perfect for winter with tights and boots and a chunky scarf. It was also "made in NZ" so that makes me happy to be buying homegrown!

I can't wait to think of some different ways to wear the body suits - any tips for me? One is quite shear, I think it would look good under a cardigan or jacket, the other 2 just have lace at the top. Any ideas let me know in the comments!

  1. Awesome finds! How lucky!

    I think rockin the lace tops with jeans and a blazer is super sexy! You def want to dress down the rest of your outfit or it may be too much I would think?

  2. Jealous. I always get flustered when I go to places where I have too many options. I just stand there drooling over everything! XD Haha
