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,

One of my favourite parts of every event is doing One of my favourite parts of every event is doing my own little treasure hunt once things quieten down... and yesterday certainly didn't disappoint!

Here's what I found:

🛍️ 17 quality pre-loved pieces
💰 Total spent: $93
🤯 Most expensive item: Just $20!

My haul included basics, three skirts, two cosy knits, a top, Italian leather boots, a leather handbag, a hat, two scarves, gym essentials and a fleece vest.

I was also thrilled to find brands including Preview, Seed, Khrio and Tigerlily.

This is why I love Raid My Wardrobe. You never know what incredible treasures you'll discover or how far your money will go. It's the thrill of the hunt, the excitement of finding quality pieces you love, and giving beautiful clothing a second life.
