    Finally dragged myself to the closest op shop to get some clothes… I spent more than planned and am second guessing almost everything I got, but had to sort something out.

    Other than a few basics I haven’t really bought clothes for years and a lot has changed.

      Good basics are so hard to come by these days. Most op shop stuff is just kmart stuff at near kmart prices. Or H&M gear with 1 or 2 washes left in it. Trying to find a decent quality t without breaking the bank is insanely tough. Had a pair of new Levi jeans develop a hole within 2 wears the other week!

        They are. It was never easy but I’m genuinely having a harder time than usual.

        I didn’t get any jeans. I wanted to but lightweight shirts and cardigans were the priority for warmer weather. (Cover from the sun and pervy stares.)

        I also got a lighter coloured hoodie that would show less cat hair and a pair of activewear leggings but am really not sure about the leggings.

        There had been casual pants and a cardigan I wanted at Big W and Kmart but both were out of stock 🙄
