How do you find your preloved fashion between our events?

Before the days of Raid My Wardrobe and my babies, I’d spend hours trawling op shops for hidden gems and unique pieces. Op shops are a treasure trove for bargain fashion shoppers if you know what you are looking for and how to shop them.

So why don’t more of us embrace op shopping?

When you’re new to it, op shopping can feel:

  • Overwhelming – so much to go through
  • Disorganised – you’re not sure where to start
  • Hard to know where to find the really good stuff!

But once you get the hang of it, op shopping is a fabulous, rewarding experience.

It feels so good knowing you’re finding new ways to reuse beautiful items, you’re keeping clothes out of landfill and your money is supporting services for anyone in need in your local area.

If you’re looking for great new pieces to take you into Spring and Summer, if you’d love to spend a morning finding your own hidden treasures and saving money at the same time, I invite you to join me on my walking op shop tour.

I’ve planned out a day for a few of us to get together and Raid the “Wardrobes” of some of my favourite places to find gorgeous preloved, vintage and consignment fashion. We’ll spend plenty of time hunting for the perfect pieces for you.

I’ve already mapped out where I want to take you, what I want to show you.. and I can’t wait to see what you find on the day!

Listen to how Lucy Plikss from Your Happy Healthy Life describes her op shopping experience with me.

I’ll share my hints and tips to help you avoid overwhelm and to discover the hidden gems like the formal dress I found in the pic below for $25 at the Red Cross shop!

After our shopping we’ll grab a drink or a bite to eat at a nearby cafe and share our finds!

WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY... I wanted to jum WHY I HAVE BEEN SO QUIET LATELY...
I wanted to jump in and check in with you! Firstly, apologies for not being in touch for a while. I've been very quiet lately for a number of reasons -  all of them good :) 
.
I'm a very sensitive and reflective person and these past few months with all that has been unfolding in the world have been particular interesting for me and all of us really. 
.
While Raid My Wardrobe has been on pause due to circumstances out of our control :( ......other doors magically opened up for me. It started slowly at first a few hours here and there, a contract to help set-up a new business, some on-going support and now after 2 months I'm totally in it - Business Manager of an brick and mortar and online indoor plant store - @lovemyplants101 with my partner. 
.
If you'd told me back in February that I'd be working in the indoor plant industry I would have laughed in your face and said, 'You must have me mistaken with another'. Now as I communicate this with you I pinch myself at how truly amazing and exciting things have been for me over the past few months. 
.
So, I've been quiet for good reason.....I've been sooo busy!! To go from idea to fully fledged operating shop in the space of about 4 weeks has been one exciting ride. To use all my 10 years experience from creating and operating Raid My Wardrobe in helping another with their vision and dream has been inspiring and completely fulfilling for me. I love trouble shooting and problem solving, learning new things, stretching my brain, being challenged and finding more efficient ways to do things. I also love being of service to people and surrounded by nature. Pronouncing the plant botanical names though I'm still nailing that one ;)
.
Some of you I have already run into and you have recognised me in your part of the woods - East Maitland. And I have a special offer for you when you scroll down, as I'd love you to come in and say 'hi' and add some cleansing, greenery to your home.
.
You might be asking - What does this mean for Raid My Wardrobe?? Continued in the comments.
One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ P One can never walk past an op shop 🙋‍♀️ Picked up these beauties at bargain prices from @lifeline_designerdepot and @redcrossshops skinny distressed jeans $15 and authentic Mexican leather cowboy boots $35 for me and Angelo Litrico suede leather jacket for him $50 so many beautiful knits and jackets in store but I did stop with just these. Have you hit the op shops lately? What have you found?
