Happy Friday!


Hi y'all!
Jenny from Melbourne Op Shop Tours emailed me the other day and said how about we give Lady M readers a double pass worth $50 for a tour and I said heck yes!
It's fair to say that I love op-shopping, above is just a tiny selection of some of the outfits, accessories and even art work I have picked up in op-shops.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, winner announced next Thursday 15th October 5pm AEST.

Jetsetting Joyce said...

Wow I'm impressed that you scored your outfits from op shops! They are very stylish. I'd love to go on a tour myself, my wardrobe needs a spring-stock (as opposed to a spring-clean).

What a fantastic prize!

I am an op shop virgin really (apart from savers for 80s dress ups)

Dear Lady Melbourne
I have been following your blog for many months now - it is fabulous. You have a great sense of style. I would love to go on one of the Op Shop tours, I have been meaning to go on one for ages now but with two kiddies its a bit of a juggle. Hope to see you soon at the next Round She Goes market. Cheers, Maria

I do adore my op shopping.

Little Fec said...

Is there anything more satisfying in the shopping world than a really good op shop find? I don't think so!

Kyles said...

Isn't it amazing how even art work can make you want to go op-shopping. Perhaps I'll head out and try and find something just as inspiring today.

I was dying to enter the GPO comp but I miss you in Melbourne by 2 days... what a pity. Obviously I couldn't do the tour (unless it's this Friday hee hee) so you don't need to include me either. Just wanted to comment! :)

Oh Gorgeous Baby said...

I would Love to win. Im new to Melbourne and find shopping hard with lack of money and lack of style idea/sense Being the Mum of 2 kids I usually try to dress them up and forget about me. Trying to visit your blog and others to teach me a thing or two. Thanks for the chance.
