I’ve done quite a bit of opshopping / thrifting recently to update my winter wardrobe. I found some amazing pieces and when I shared them on Instagram, I got people asking me where I went. It gave me an idea that it’s about time I update the opshops I go to. I thought I’d also add my tips and tricks on opshopping as I’ve been doing this for years.
If you live in Auckland, check out my favourite opshops below.

I don’t wear skirts often but when I do, it’s likely to be pleated. This green pleated skirt has been a favourite of mine. I wanted to share the ways I wear it.
This is the second outfit Laura shot and I love how they turned out. She had this location in mind and we swapped between the driveway and the green wall.
Being petite, it is so hard to find a maxi dress that fits me well. Thankfully my sister found this floral maxi dress and I think it’s the one. I love this dress and I’m excited to show it to you today.

Today, I’m sharing with you my favourite places to opshop/thrift shop. If you live in Auckland and want to know where I usually get my thrift hauls then continue on with this post.
If you’ve been following my blog or Instagram for some time, you would’ve noticed my love for thrifting/opshopping. I love it so much and I’ve shared a lot of thrift hauls here on the blog.
I have been meaning to post this dress for quite a while but I waited to feature it in a thrift haul first. At long last, it’s here and I’m excited to share it today.
I wore this dress to NZ Fashion Week but styled it differently. Today’s outfit is more dressed up and all the details will be down below.
This week is New Zealand Fashion Week and I’ll be attending my first show this morning. In light of this week’s fashionable events, I thought I’d post this Kenzo dress I got from Savemart because it’s one of my trendy ‘fashun’ things in my closet.
I absolutely love this but scoping out photos on social media and other blogs, it seems like black is the colour of choice of fashion week attendees. I’m unsure whether to wear this bright dress in the next four days yet so I’ll see how that goes.
I’ve actually styled this in two different ways. See below for more photos.
This is a late outfit post but I wore it to a friend’s 21st birthday party back in May. I forgot I took outfit shots of it. The reason why I still wanted to share this is because this dress was thrifted/opshopped and it was $4.50.
This strappy blue dress is from Lipsy but I got it from Recycle Boutique in their $4.50 sale rack. I have included it in this thrift haul too.
See below for more photos.

I have been asked multiple times on my “secret” to op shopping. For those that don’t know, thrifting or op shopping is when you go shopping at thrift stores, second-hand shops or charity shops. It has also been popularised by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with their song Thrift Shop. If you haven’t heard of that song, you may have been living under a rock.
So basically, you are looking at pre-loved/second hand items that have mostly been donated by others. I am a serial op shopper. I am obsessed with it (as you can tell from my thrift hauls) and I love the thrill of finding a great pieces for bargain prices.

This is the last outfit/ootd series featuring my sister Joan. The clothes in all three outfit photos are from this Savemart Opshop Haul I posted a few weeks ago.
All the accessories and shoes are also mine.

My last opshop haul showed my finds from Recycle Boutique. Today’s post shows how I style the Long Lost dress and Topshop romper.
I’m featuring my sister in this OOTD/Lookbook because I am the only one that can take decent photos using my slr. We tried it the other way around but I take better photos. Thanks to Joan for being my model!
See below for outfit details and a close up of the items.
