surprise australian buy: plarail shirts

mum and i went to melbourne last week and got home last night. i had a shock find at a clothing store called uniqlo. they are global and have websites for many countries, but i didnt see these prints on the japan, usa or australian sites.

pure luck finding these, as mum was in a chemist and i waited outside due to having a backpack and not fitting well down tight aisles. uniqlo had a huge billboard in their window with all these different graphic prints on it... disney, peanuts, rilakuma and thomas. a mannequin was wearing a toy story woodys roundup shirt, which is what i wanted to buy first.

now, im not a clothes buyer. i dont often buy clothing, and usually when i do its second hand. strangely enough, i was quite happy to spend over $150 on 12 shirts i will never really wear.

they are kids sizes in 6 different designs, but i have plans to cut the prints off one of each design and sew onto shirts that will fit me. i got the smallest sizes as keepsakes, and the largest with the biggest prints to cut up.

the first one i found at the store in chadstone. i originally went in looking for the thomas one and found this instead. [cue mini instore happy dance]

they had another store at the melbourne imporium, right next to where we were staying, so called in that night, where i found another 5 designs. [cue massive instore happy dance]

i also got several adult shirts featuring toy story and peanuts, but never did find the thomas shirt.
