Fashion with Attitude

The local Hobart newspaper, The Mercury, runs a section every Friday called ‘Attitude’. It’s aimed at young people; I’m probably starting to just fall outside their target market.

This section always includes a photo of someone they accosted in the street whom they deem ‘fashionable’. They ask them a few questions about what they’re wearing and where they like to shop.

I’ve noticed a pattern that goes something like this:

I shop at vinnies and other op-shops.

I’m currently wearing a top from Valley Girl, shorts from Cotton-On, and a vest from Myer.

Some examples here, here, here and here.

Conclusions: (a) it is cool to say you shop at op-shops, (b) it is less cool to actually wear clothes you purchased from op-shops.
