Pre-owned clothes and accessories

M Missoni dress $70.00

Just wanted to point out you can buy Designer clothes and accessories from sites which specialise in selling already worn items, “pre-owned”, as they called them. If you have been reading my Blog you know I can’t afford “Designer”, but, if you haven’t, been reading I mean, this is what I think: there are plenty of very good clothing companies out there, there is no need at all to spend too much money.

M Missoni sweater $75.00

Having said that, I do like certain Designers and also fancy having a few of their creations…..

that’s why …..

I have recently bought a “pre-owned” Missoni sweater, the site is based in the States. I had been fancying a Missoni top for quite some time, so I decided I would go ahead and try this new adventure.

Results:

1- The sweater got here pretty quickly and was in very good condition.

2- I think it’s gorgeous

3- A third of what I paid (which by the way wasn’t much at all) went on delivery costs, therefore, next time I am going to try to get what I want from a European site

4-I think I might do this again!!!!!

Here is the USA site: https://www.therealreal.com

They have an enormous amount of clothes and accessories, you could spend hours looking through it!!

and

SERGIO ROSSI METALLIC LEATHER STRAPPY SANDALS £90.00

here is a site (which I haven’t yet tried) in Europe: http://www.covetique.com

Sandro silk short sleeve blouse £70.00

Not so many things but, if you manage to wait, perhaps what you want will eventually turn up!

You can subscribe to either in order to receive mails with the latest arrivals although I would advise against it, as you might find yourself “needing” too many things…. I would only visit them in order to find something specific and special.

P.S. Found a site based in Italy too:

http://it.privategriffe.com

looks quite good….

Bras v. clothes

Posted on February 2, 2015 by stylepointofview

The wrong bra can ruin a look. I know nothing about bras, but, I am certain about a few things:

1- Push-ups are ~~OUT~~ and were never chic.

2- The way a top or dress falls depends on its cut/fabric but also on the bra you are wearing

3- You can always see an ill-fitting bra as much as you DON’T notice a good fit, which obviously is the way it should be.

4- Much easier to dress having a small bust than a big one. Ok, I know one can’t change that, at least not easily … just saying in case your insanity is convincing you to “enlarge”!!!

5- Let’s not lose sight of the point I am trying to make though…

6- Just go to a good lingerie shop and get a real person to help you find the right bra for you, as in one which is going to fit you properly and be comfortable.

7- If you are rather “small” you could try for something that helps you add slightly but is still chic. I know I said push-ups are out but, you can possibly go for one, as long as it isn’t over the top. There are other solutions though, try them, you will be surprised by how good they look. If you are “big”, rather than the bra (which helps but isn’t nearly enough), you must find the right clothes.
