With the new Spring comes a new wardrobe.
And on a student's budget there is only one thing to do: Op Shop. And off we went, mother and I, to trawl through racks upon racks of garments in church halls and be ripped off by volunteers at charity shops. Oh heyyyyy Vinnies.
The church's 'pre-loved boutique' was a gold mine. The prices were low and the opportunity for amazing clothes was high. The charity (pfffffftttt) shop - St. Vincent De Pauls however was a completely different story. Its kind of redundant when a charity shop sells their stuff at the same prices as retail stores. Again... I maintain - pffftttttt.
