WISH WANT WEAR

One thing is for certain, as soon as I have a little bit (or a lot) of stress in my life, I like to indulge in a little bit (or a lot) of retail therapy. Each to their own, but for me, shopping just takes the edge off things. It takes my mind away from busy work demands, the pressure and the stress, and for a few blissful hours reverts joyfully to the more menial worries in life such as debating which colour looks best, arguing how many pairs can I legitimately allow myself to buy, and of course worrying that it’ll go out of stock right that instance if I don’t buy it. Oh the woes.

Shopping is my go to, both online and offline. This week alone i’ve racked up a few deliveries some treats to me from me, others exciting gifts from lovely brands (more to come on those). I’ve spent my Saturday morning ordering up a storm on ASOS and adding to my never ending wish list on pinterest. But with all the frivolous window / reality shopping, I do also like to find myself a bargain too. Whist i’m totally au fait with a car boot, it’s not often I make it down to one. So i’ve been spending more time searching the net for bargains, and that includes on sites like Vinted.co.uk … whose whole premise is about swapping and selling clothing items. Second hand (sometimes never worn) gems at a bargain price.

 I’ve been using Vinted for about a month now, both selling my clothes which you should head over and check out here, but also nabbing myself some bargains (and also creating a wish list for those incredible designer gems which I can’t quite justify the splurge on … Hello Alexander Wang Boots & YSL Clutches).  I found some gorgeous court shoes & summer sandals which i’m going to purchase this week.

 It’s what I like to call responsible shopping. Selling off my unloved items, splurging on some new luxury bits, and bargain hunting for a few old gems.
