The wind may be blowing but at least today the sky is blue and I'm determined to keep turning up in bright and breezy colours, the same colours that lift my mood and garner me compliments.
There's nothing new here, but all of it, every single piece, brings me joy which is pretty much my mantra.
My life, indeed island life, is seasonal. I work in a retail position which relies on visitors to keep me in employment. By the end of the month the Gallery will be closed and I'll be busy with winter works. And winter works means no daily dressing up for the day job, so I'm making the most of things in this final push.
The majority of what I'm wearing is from Vinted, the second hand site that's helping to change how we shop. Second hand no longer means sad, smelly, worn-out clothes; Vinted allows anyone to move on their shopping mistakes, often never worn at all, to find a happy new owner. Vinted is also helping me dejunk my wardrobe all year round. I'm finally allowing myself to let go of pieces that don't fit or even spark joy as I know I'll be able to find replacements in a heartbeat. Sorry if this is coming across as an advert - it's just an enthusiastic post from a second-hand lover!

I loved Vinted! Part of the fun is the search! Your jacket is brilliant1!!!x
ReplyDeleteOh you're so right Kezzie. I love the thrill of the chase! xxx
DeleteYour outfit just sings with all these wonderful summery citrus colours, can't blame you one bit for stretching it out as long as possible, Anna! Another season over, how the time flies!
ReplyDeleteI still don't shop online - you should see all the tankers carrying all the stuff from overseas to our coastal ports! I'd rather buy something that's already in my city...but I know you don't have that luxury on your wee island. I'm glad you found a way to buy second hand at home! <3
Thanks Sheila. Yes, we all have to find our way to feel right about shopping and Vinted works well for me. Of course I do envy you the ease of browsing all of your local thrift shops xxx
DeleteSo lovely to open your blog and see your summery outfit. The colours are fab together and I love your Vinted finds.
ReplyDeleteAlways an eBay girl, I’m slowly changing over and have a couple of good buys from Vinted; an orange coat (hardly worn) and a colourful wrap top.
You look lovely Anna. Xx
Vinted seems much easier to navigate and also to sell - much better than eBay I think! I've recently bought a new winter coat - will showcase it soon xxx
DeleteGreat colour mix, Anna. This outfit looks great in any season.
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you Anna, thanks xxx
