Secondhand Stories: the travel one

 

Today in our joint Second Hand Stories series, my blogging partner Sarah London and I will share out latest preloved finds.

And for me it has been all about the holiday wardobe.

I am about to go on holiday abroad for the first time in nearly three years.

And for me the holiday begins by planning what I will wear.


I have a little notebook where I plan what I will take and also journal the trip too.

This is an entry from March 2010.

I will be taking this book with me to Marbella tomorrow as we celebrate my daughter's Hen.

As it is a Hen Do the days and events are planned out in detail, even down to colour themes: Black Day, White Party, Supper Club etc.

It has made planning a lot easier and I was determined to take as much second-hand stuff as I could.

I also bought new items from the proceeds of my Vinted sale.

I have been scouring the preloved sites since January and I have found some great buys.



About half of  my holiday wardrobe is preloved and here are some of my favourites.


The pink Seafolly costume is from Vinted and the black costume from Top Shop via Vinted.


The Top Shop white shorts and black New Look shorts are both from Vinted.



These beaded Top Shop bag was £3 from Vinted and the BNWT Zara bag also Vinted was £10.


This gorgeous white Reiss Dress still had the £238 tag on it and I paid £40. Again from Vinted.



And my absolute favourites are these leather and wood Mulberry Sandals which came with dustbag and box and had never been worn.

I paid £40.

In the first picture I am wearing a sarong I bought yesterday for £3 from a local charity shop with the Top Shop costume and preloved Dolce & Gabana sunglasses.

I am off to see what Sarah has added to her preloved collection this month.

I will be back soon to share the holiday snaps.

Have a great day,

Jane.
