I don't have time to op shop anymore since I work fulltime, but my friends know how much I love preloved clothes and often send me theirs. Or maybe they just want to see me dressed properly:-) My kids always had hand me downs (a benefit from large extended family) and once I bought my daughter a new dress and she didn't want to wear it because it hadn't belonged to someone she knew. It was funny. She quickly got over it though! Love those shoes!

I've got my one favourite shop and I'd be a bit loath to spread that news around due to selfish reasons naturally. I'd like to know which op shops get the past season's kids clothes though. I've bought new clothes for JJ but they're original 70s clothes. I'll have to take some pictures of those! I haven’t come across the South Aus equivalent op shop blog.

There's an op shop blog for Melbourne with listings of all the shops, reviews, alerts on bargains, etc. http://melb-opshopping.blogspot.com/ Not sure if there's one for South Oz, but it would be a great idea for one for every state/territory.
