Sometimes there are gems.

I got a faux red snake skin jacket and skirt from vinnies once, for my 18th.

It was cool

lol same

I think I'm just rubbish at op-shopping. I don't have a good enough eye for what works and what doesn't so I end up either getting something really bad or overlooking stuff that could be great because it looks like my grandma died in it on first glance

things like scarves and gloves and things are easier to get right, though
