SUNDAY SPECIAL: Leigh Campbell's Guide To Thrift Shopping
We all know Jessie Stephens has a soft spot for a good thrift find (and by "soft spot," we mean her entire wardrobe probably costs less than your last latte). So today, we’ve got a treat that’ll make her – and you – very happy. Leigh Campbell, host of Nothing To Wear and certified queen of the op shop, sits down with Mia Freedman to spill all the thrifty tea. From uncovering the coolest hidden stores to mastering what some are calling the 'ancient art of thrifting', Leigh shares her best hacks for snagging treasures without breaking the bank. Plus, she reveals the mindset you need to dodge buyer’s remorse (and possibly that sequined jumpsuit you thought you’d wear). If you want to upgrade your style for a fraction of the price, this episode is basically your golden ticket to fashion thrifting heaven. THE END BITS Want to shop the pod?
