Sulking on Sunday

Good times on Saturday night (Gomez gig! Spa! Champagne! Chocolate espresso moussey puddlingy thing! Lovely!) lead to a lazy Sunday morning wandering through town, where to my distress (yes - distress) we stumbled across 2 CLOSED opshops - the new Anglicare store on the corner of King William St and Hindley St, and the Red Cross on the east end of Rundle St across(ish) from the Stag. 


The Anglicare store is only open Monday-Friday, which means I wont be going there any time soon. The thing about city op shops is they often have awesome clothes in great condition (yes, Whitmore Square Salvos, I'm talking about you). You know the old adage: "The better the suburb, the better the haul" (I made that up. It's not very old). This one boasts that it only stocks designer and high end brands, so if you wanna look schmick for cheap, I guess this is your place. When I finally get there, I'll let you now how it is.


I didn't even cross the road from Eros to check out when the Red Cross store is open. I was too sad. And kind of full from my green eggs and ham. They were really really tasty.  Had I bothered to cross the road, I would have discovered it's actually open on Sundays. Bum.


Clothes Line Saga
Red Cross Store
We passed a cute little store on Rundle St that I'm pretty sure used to be the great vintage store, the Little Shop of Treasures (a lifetime ago).  It's now Clothes Line Saga, which stocks new and pre-loved  clothing for super cool people. Well, that's what I got from their FB page. They don't let people like me in places like that. Also, it was closed. 


I sulked for a bit, then went into kikki.K and Smiggle and was happy again. Not op-shopping, but stationary-love can fill the void as required. It's kind of like work clothes: necessary so doesn't count.
