As my friend so sweetly put it the other day: "Ah, thank God for people who put on weight and can't fit into their old clothes". I like to take it a little further: "Thank God for people who go shopping, put in weight and can't fit into their new clothes". That's how I ended I up with a brand new pair of black boot cut CK's on my laundry floor! Now to stay exactly the same shape so I never have to part with them...
As I was indulging my love of all things that in the real world I would never buy, I also found a sweet dark blue, sequined singlet by Saba. I think it will go nicely with my new jeans (I didn't test this idea in the change room, as I was on my third turn in there).
And if you love handbags that your mum or gran would have toted around in their fashionable years before you came along and ruined their fun, the Hawthrone Salvos is the place to go. When I was there (you know, buying designer jeans), I noticed quite a selection of 60's and 70's handbags in good nick. I decided to pass up on them, as I a) have trouble using the bags I already have, and b) am running out of places to store them (just so you know, I had a space in my pants drawer big enough for one more pair... With a little encouragement). But my loss is your gain, so go nuts (also, I'm sure you could always lend me one).
I bought a few other things, but since you're grabbing your keys to head to Mitcham, I'll leave it at that. Designer jeans all in the name of charity? You better believe it!
