Here’s how I got a $75 pair of white jeans for $3

in Tips on 30/09/15

Look at this great find I discovered at Wesley Mission Op Shop this week! Lee Cooper White Skinny Jeans for just $3

Similar ones are selling brand new for $75 and on Ebay they are listed as $30 for preloved.

And it was all in just 10 minutes. I was dropping a bag of goods to my local op shop they were about to close so I just had a quick look at the women’s clothing rack. I had been hunting for a pair of white jeans after seeing Sam Woods talk about how they are a must have for Spring.

So, here they were for $3. I didn’t even have to try them on, I knew they would be perfect for me and would work with the tops, shoes and accessories I already had in my wardrobe.

I can teach you how to do this too:

  • How to find amazing pieces at great prices.

 

  • How to know if something will fit without trying it on. 

 

  • How to decide in a split second if an item belongs in your wardrobe. 

Come with me on my Op Shop Tour and I’ll show you how I do it!

Yours in all things preloved,
