Wellington op shop finds

We are in Wellington for a few days, so of course we had to do a bit of op shopping. We went to one I hadn't been to before, the Salvation Army in Johnsonville and found some cool clothes! Tahi found two dinosaur singlet, so he was stoked and I found a pair of comfy pants, a Witchery woolen cardigan and a Max organic cotton cardigan. The quality of clothing is definitely a level up from Gisborne... Yay!
Max organic cotton cardigan, super nice and soft!
I played around this morning and modeled my new finds... funny!

 Being in summer mode in Gisborne, we came down with very little warm clothes and I didn't expect it to be so chilly, so it was lucky to find some nice cardis. Since this winter I've had a renewed interest in them, and I'm slowly accumulating some nice finds in my wardrobe. Speaking of which, it's "Embellish knits month" at Grosgrain, worth checking out!

Op shop finds

One thing I love about being somewhere different, is that there are always new op shops to explore!
I'm an op shop freak, and for people like me, there's no better place than Petone, near Wellington. Four op shop stores with lots of great goodies. Here are just a couple of my finds so far.
Ok, so we don't have a girl... maybe this coming baby will be a girl, maybe not. I just couldn't resist buying this beautiful dress. I thought if we don't use it, it will be great as a present!


And this is a Helen Cherry dress. I love the fabric. The length might need some reviewing, nothing too hard to do!
