Dang

Dang. Dang dang dang! Half price at Savers 8am to 9pm. Where am I? On the couch in my PJs. DANG!

Fortunately, I had the good sense to stop off at the Red Cross on South Road on the way home. I had heard a rumour that there was a buy 2, get 2 free sale on (it's actually not that interesting: my mate posted on my FB wall). The sale had ended (dang, I say!), but there will still bargains to be had.

Next to the white shirt, dark denim and a leather jacket (note: leather, not suede), the wrap dress is one of those items countless magazines have told me is a wardrobe essential. As lame as that sounds, those items are pretty handy. It's a pain to find good versions, though, even in 'regular' shops, so when I find them in an op shop, well, I just have to snap them up.

And that's what I did today. Wrap dress half price, ta very much indeed. Surprisingly, it's a Supre dress; black with a lovely pattern of white flowers AND it covers my bum and boobs. See? Weird, right? I also scored a musk pink pussy bow shirt with little grey stars all over it. The red and white polka dot shirt with a Peter Pan collar filled the check out chick with delight when I presented it for purchase (she knows all the stock, and I think she likes to see things go to a good home. She also notices when I haven't been in for a while).

So no awesome sale, but the $2 racks are always worth a look, and they do have a half price rack up the back. I know I have mentioned their a-mazing (erm) Plus Size section, but for all you teeny-tinys out there, someone with a small bum and a big budget has handed over their collection, including a couple of gorgeous Review dresses in fantastic condition. And for the lads, the menswear section is getting bigger.

The store itself has had a bit of a makeover, and it's fantastic. The staff have done a wonderful job, and  it is even more of a pleasure to shop in. And not a lime green suede jacket in sight. Unless I wasn't looking closely enough.
