Op Shop Prom II

Overview

If you're planning to swing by Sabotage Social this Friday night, you'd best stop in at Vinnies or Lifeline beforehand. Their end of week shindig isn't just any old party — it's their second annual Op Shop Prom.

Here, secondhand formal wear rules once more, and everyone can relive the high school rite-of-passage experience. First, find some funky threads at your nearest thrift shop (including a cummerbund or an oversized scrunchie, ideally). Then, head to the corner of Gipps and Wickham streets, and indulge in a night of cocktail-fuelled shenanigans.

If you like finessing pre-loved fashions into awesome outfits, as well as pretending you're in an American teen movie, well, it's the best of both worlds. Yes, a prom king and queen will be crowned. Yes, there's nothing wrong with trying to win in all your vintage couture glory.
