Five minutes with Ella Hooper.
If you could go back to any decade, which one would it be? The late '60s, early '70s are probably my favorite era for fashion, style and music too, so I'd have to say then. I love the exotic, luxe, kooky and decadent feel of garments from that time.
What is best thing you've ever found at a Salvos Store? Gosh, too many favorites to choose from! Much of my wardrobe is from Salvos, mixed with long-term investment pieces, but top of the crop right now is a killer deep blue velvet floor-length dress. It's quite a statement.
How long have you had your oldest t-shirt? A '70s-style brown button up with lapels I've been wearing since I was 13 – 17 years and going strong.
What is the ugliest piece of clothing you've ever found? Well, I may have been accused of bringing home some questionable jumpsuits in my time, though I believe ugly is in the eye of the beholder! (If worn with enough swagger, nothing is ugly.)
