Whenever I have my haircut, I strut out of the hairdresser, feelin' sassy, make a left and head into Red Threads. This is a beautifully outfitted Red Cross store with a fantastic mix of second hand and new, and never fails to part me from my hard-earned. Today was no exception...
I bought a sweet little black skirt that's all puffy and cute and has such lovely buttons that I'll have to tuck any top into it to show them off. Did not mind handing over $7.50 for that little number, let me tell you! There was a gorgeous rose-print Portmans dress that I carried around for about 1/2 an hour before I had to concede that, sweet as it was, just wasn't my cup of tea. Size 10, forgiving, and only $16.00., if you're interested.
This afternoon when I dressed to go out, I couldn't quite find anything to work with my outfit, but was running late for my haircut, so I had to whip out the door slightly dissatisfied. Fortunately for me, there was a (new) sweet stone and rope necklace that was just perfect. It looked so much better than what I was wearing when I left the house that my husband noticed immediately. That's what I get for trying to smuggle a new purchase by wearing it. Necklace: $20.00. Husband looking up from the computer to pay a compliment: Priceless.
This op shop is also a great place to pick up a present. If you aren't keen on giving someone a pre-loved item, there are plenty of brand new handbags, gloves, clutches and jewellery, as well as clothes. I picked up a present for a friend we'll be staying with soon. A (new) cropped bronze, white and black sequinned jacket is a better hostess gift than a bottle of wine any day!
The camera is still missing (which means I haven't done any housework) but we're having people over soon, which means we have to clean the house, so I'm sure it will turn up...
