Thrift Store Shopping Fun!




 Yesterday my gorgeous friend and I ventured out to the local thrift stores or as they are called in Australia, Op shops. I had planned on only spending a small amount of money as recently I have purchased new makeup products for my makeup kit and spoiled myself with lavish gifties so I was geared up ready to look and not really buy. Well I could not have been more wrong. I found so many amazing bargains and picked up some great summer clothing items all for around $30. Oh, and as you will see in the photos I also bought some random cute things just for fun. I bought a fake Gucci over night bag for $2 and put all of my purchases in that. Lets have a peek...

I got this cute off the shoulder Valleygirl top for $4. Stripes are in this summer and this will be really comfy with shorts or distressed jeans. I have a thing for off the shoulder tops at the moment so i was really happy to find this one. I found 4 pretty summer tops which cost me only $10. Cami tops are really comfortable when its hot in summer and they look great with jeans as well.









I am so in love with this little lace wrap. It was $4 but had been placed in the kids section. I thought I would have a look at it because the material was so beautiful then I found out it was a ladies size. Happy was I. The material is a Leopard print lace with glitter all over it. I know it sounds hookerville but trust me it's really pretty in real life.









I was really surprised to find a top from Mei Mei. I always love Mei Mei clothing and you can usually buy it online. This little royal blue Mei Mei top cost $2. It didn't have a tag and I thought the shop assistant was going to say it was around $5 but I was in luck because when I go thrift shopping I can be a bit of a tight botty and you can usually hear me saying "$10, nah I'm not prepared to pay that".




 I found this cute little baby doll top by Bebe for $5. I figure I will wear it with a brown plait belt. Very sweet and girly. And I also found a Napoleon Perdis makeup bag which was brand new for $5. It's also leopard print so my excitement level was double hehehe. 

My gorgeous friend found this zebra stripey print off the shoulder top and bought it for me. She is so awesome. Love her xoxo

I have a thing for The Muppets and mainly love Miss Piggy so when I stumbled across this vintage Miss Piggy (1980, is that very vintage?) I had to take her home. She was 50cents. I think she is kind of naked but maybe she is wearing her workout leotard? My Chihuahua wants to grab her and rip her apart but that won't be happening.
So my thrift store shopping trip cost me a whopping $32.50 (I had to use a calculator). Not bad for all of those items which look brand new. I love bargain shopping and i am a real rummage for treasure gal. I like my high end items as well but I get a real thrill from finding things i want and need at a reasonable price.

 Just thought i would throw a random pic of the cute Barbies my friend also bought for me. I collect Barbies and no I don't keep them in the boxes. I like to play with their hair. I also love Hello Kitty and My Little Pony.
Till next time, stay gorgeous and have fun xoxoxo Mwah
