Nah didn't think so.
But yesterday I got tarted up especially for the radiology ladies.
And like every medical practitioner I've ever encountered, a bit o' sparkle, some slap and the ol' jingle makes their day.
I consider it my civil duty to keep those guys and gals smiling.
It's not their fault our state government decided to re-route funding for a $16M redevelopment of our local mental health unit in favour of a $9M city helipad.
So I don't complain when I get my BreastScreen letter every two years asking me to get me tatas out for a squish.
I wore my corset t-shirt to remind me why I was there.Magnificent no?
Sure no worries but first I'm gonna take some blurry selfies. K?
Layered half-slips and a gorgeous vinyl bag I snapped up in a Dandelion Vintage sale.The seller, lovely Carol, also gifted me the glorious, huge red rose I'm wearing.
Yes well, the hair ... that's post-running-through-a-windy-downpour-with-added-humidity.I don't think anyone in the waiting room noticed though, they were probably wondering why I was dressed in old half-slips and wearing so much jewelry.
Oh and a sequinned cocktail hat.
Since I was on me tod (alone), I took full advantage of the situation and snuck in some desperately-needed op-shopping to satisfy my week-long buy-awesome-old-shite cravings.
I discovered enormous lengths of 1970s cottons for just five bucks each!
Bargain books are always welcome in our home.
And cute old teapots?
Well I can find room can't I?
These goodies are for a very special blogger who is unwell, but I'll let the sweetie fill you in when she's good and ready.
Still can't get over this ... just two dollars!
It was worth the trip in the rain.
We've had it all here in Oz this summer ... catastrophic fire storms, now torrential rain and flooding.
Whew!
Cotton vintage sheets always find a home with me too.Have you seen Loo's amazing king-size patchwork duvet cover she made from gorgeous vintage sheets?
She will inspire you to get patching and convince you the results are constant marvelling and gazing at your handiwork forever.
"Oooh das pwetty," said Lily.
Oh okaaaaaaaaaaaay ... gratuitous giant ring pic for you:).I hope you're all set for the weekend, may fresh snowfalls powder your lawn, may cooling rains bring relief to a hot summer, may your homes be safe.
Oh and if you're on Instagram, please let me know your IG name in the comments so I can stalk you.
