The theme for ‘Dressed By Vinnies Day’ 2018 was ‘wear it and share it’.
The Corrimal store (pictured) was among the outlets to get involved on the day.
Peter Quarmby, executive officer for Vinnies Illawarra said the occasion had proven popular within the region.
“We’ve had a lot of people responding to it, and finding that there are great fashions there for men, women and children.” he said.
“And it’s a great way to promote the treasure trove of goods available in the Vinnies stores.”
