MinkPink

I have many weaknesses: movies with Tim Curry in them; open-faced hamburgers; second-hand bookshops, to name but a few. One of my biggest ones is buying vintage/op-shop clothing. Most of the clothes I’ve bought since moving to Melbourne have been second-hand and that is simply because this is the place for shopping.

In an occasional special I’ve (imaginatively… or not) called ‘Thrifty Thursday’ I will be celebrating my most favoured purchases. Unless said otherwise, these have come from Savers.

The first is a MinkPink dress which I wear at least once a week. Just look at those love hearts. Awww…

The necklace I got at Christmas (thanks, sis) sits lower than the photo shows (I pulled it up for the shot). It nestles in between my boobs a little, but I like the chain, so am prepared to live with it.
