The thrift shop was brightly lit, well-ventilated and it was definitely a comfortable shopping experience. I met Anna Tsang, one of the 3 ladies who set up the thrift shop. Anna was wearing a deconstructed red and black top which she designed! I would have requested to take a photo of her, if my camera battery has not given way! Did I want to kick myself in the butt then!
Before I went to the thrift shop, I promised myself that I would only buy 1 item there. I found quite a number of lovely items in the shop and it was a struggle deciding what to buy. Take a look at the pictures and guess which one I bought in the end? :)
Struggle #1: A purplish pink wrap around top with green and light brown straps. The fabulous color caught my eye and I think this would be great for the boho look.
Struggle #2: A black tank with lace embellishments strategically sewn on. This is made of stretch material and the shape is rather good. Quite a steal at only S$2. Great for layering.
Struggle #3: This black suit with gold buttons and white lace all over it. I don't fancy the jacket but the skirt is really pretty.
The skirt with white lace at the bottom that caught my eye, underneath the jacket-that-has-too-much-detailing:
Struggle #4: I found this beautiful turquoise blue jacket in a corner, at the end of the jackets rack. This fitted jacket has fat round buttons, and black and gold detailing around the round collar (I like this kind of collars) and sleeves.
Struggle #5 and #6: A Laura Ashley fuchsia pink corduroy shirt with ruffles. My camera battery gave in at this moment and I could not take a picture! Right next to it, I found a classy black and gold striped blouse with puffy sleeves (imagine that!). Just when I was thinking about it, another girl took it to the fitting room (if she didn't buy it, I'm going back next week to get it ).
I had fun and it was a good shopping experience. I'm also impressed that the shop assistants were very efficient: by the time I left, I already see the things that I brought neatly tagged and displayed on the shelves.
I'm definitely going back there again. For your information, the shop is opened daily from 11am to 430pm (closed on Sundays).

I love the blue jacket! Is it wearable in Singapore's weather? I'm glad you bought it. :D
Sara, thanks, I'm glad I bought it too. :) I wear jackets in air-conditioned areas, so it's fine. It's too warm outside (most of the time)!
how did the black and gold shirt with puffy sleeves look? was it like organza silk and the puffy sleeves had like slits?
Anonymous: The black and gold top was made of something like Thai silk. The sleeves were puffy but I'm not sure about the slits. I went to the shop today and it wasn't there. Were you the one who bought it? Or perhaps that was your blouse originally? :)
nah not mine, visited the shop and saw it there..
Anonymous: Really? When did you go? I searched high and low for it!
