VINTAGE SPREE

I went on a little op-shopping spree over the weekend at my two favourite places ‘anglicare depot’ and Rockdale. (also known as wogdale) I’m wearing an item from each in this blog ^_^


The blazer!-the blazer is actually a women’s coat but this has never stopped me before (most of the time it encourages me!) and I got it from Rockdale. Rockdale is down near the Sutherland shire aka THE SHIRE for all you who don’t know and it has some amazing second hand stores. There used to be awesome op shops near my house but it has seemed the public school girls in the area caught on to the fact that sometimes getting something from general pants is not ok so they raid the store (for things that look like they are from general pants) and leave me with the occasional blazer. So I travel down to Rockdale as it appears this infestation of public school girls has not occurred here. Rockdale is mainly infested with lads and therefore the style code for this area usually entails a lot of product to spike up your fringe in order to balance out your rats tail or mullet and finished off with some mike tn’s and general clashing hideousness (bar a few people) so nobody is really there to fight me for my discount eggshell blazer with diamante button <3 (btw if anybody does go to Rockdale to vintage shop. GO TO THE SMITH FAMILY STORE. They are not very good but a very hot guy works there)



The shirt! Is Valentino. Not kidding. Check the label if you want. This shirt ended up costing me around about a dollar. Ladies and gentlemen if you haven’t heard about the anglicare depot in summer hill firstly: have you been living under a rock? Secondly: go. This place is amazing, I mean you have to sort through bins and bins of crap including sparkly knit kaftans and suspiciously stained halter tops but when you find something good-it’s awesome. The best thing about anglicare depot is the fact that you can buy a kilo of clothing for six dollars. And this friends is why I am now the proud owner of a real valentino shirt, to the sucker who threw it away “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? And thankyou”
