Im hopping on the RESTYLE "afterdark" challenge as I wore this get up twice in the last few months (ballet show & a date night) & it just works. As I usually don't go out as much at night anymore as I would rather be home with the kidlets I prefer not to spend a lot of dollars on going out clothes but I want clothes that are versatile & I can mix & match to make several outfits & not look cheap.
I thought why not share a few preloved shops where I tend to shop if Im looking for fabulous threads.
*The closet revolution- an upmarket boutique opshop (which is an extension of Save the Children charity) specialising in corporate officewear, racewear & formalwear. I spotted Gucci heels, a Thurley belt & some divine Seed heritage pants (that were sadly too big).
*Beleza vintage- Owner Claire is no longer in her Northbridge store, but you can usually find her at vintage markets or Instagram. She has amazing vintage & standout pieces.
*Mercado 32- I have been stalking the Instagram account of this Leederville consignment shop for months waiting for the moment someone offloads their Gorman winter harvest dress (I have been pining over for years...). I do love the curated styling of their shop manikins.
*Salvation Army Belmont- One of my favourite op shops plus there are 3 on the same strip of shops. They have a designer rack & I picked up a lovely Ermis cape & some vintage jumpers for the boys hee hee.
*Salvation Army Southern River (on Ranford Rd)- I love this op shop for great condition preloved boys clothes which are so hard to find, I picked up 3 jumpers for Kobe for $12. My friend Kira scored a bunch of funky boots at this one. Plus there are 2 other opshops on the same shopping strip.
*Redcross Fremantle- is a treasure trove of vintage, eclectic & designer fashion.
*Melville markets- seriously you always walk away with something fabulous here, my last buy was a denim pinafore for $5.
*Belmont markets- it can be hit & miss but I have bought a lovely Olga Berg clutch here before.
*Cannington Megabarn opshop (55 Bannister road)- its a (Good Sammy Industries) warehouse of clothes chucked into cage trolleys, if your patient to go thru clothes then its worth a look, my arms got sore from sifting thru clothes piles. On the upside, when I visited clothes were weighed at $6/kg. I ended up with 4 items for $6 which was great.
*I previously shared some other shops here.
Outfit; Cameo off the shoulder top/ Melville markets, fushia pants/ Melville markets, bug earrings/ Garage sale trail 2 years ago & YSL makeup bag used as clutch/ opshop many years ago.
Have you scored any preloved bargains of late? Care to share any other hidden op shop gems in Perth?
Happy Sunday friends!
