How to Op Shop – essential advice for beginners!
Do you go into op shops overwhelmed by the vast array of everything on offer? And promptly leave? Or do you pick up virtually everything (after all, it’s such a bargain!) only to donate it back again, unused and unloved? Yasmin Jeffrey’s article at abc.net provides some tips on how to op shop and find all those original gems that you will actually use, love and keep!
1. Have something in mind when you walk in the store, but throw that all away! That way you’ll be happy when you find something, but also won’t be disappointed by unrealistic expectations. To do that………..
2. Go through the shop section by section, methodically sorting through everything on each rack because…………..
3. You never know what you might find! And that includes those must have, perfect high-waisted striped linen pants…………..
4. Which have a slight stain at the knee. Keep an open mind about how you might alter or up-cycle items – those pants could easily become shorts! Don’t wear shorts? Well…….
5. Don’t be afraid to try on something different that isn’t usually your style. This might be the start of a whole new style, but always, always…………….
6. Only take home what truly resonates with you and that you love! It is these things that will bring a smile years later and most of all………………
7. Have fun op shopping!
