Secondhand Buys

Hello, troops!!! Welcome back to my blog, it's been quite a while, promise I'm going to try and post again on the regular.

As you all know, I try to buy all my clothes secondhand now, and I've really cut down on the amount I buy. For someone who used to online shop EVERY week, I am so proud of how far I've come. I thought I'd share with you all my secondhand buys over the past 6 months or so!


Taking it back to October - my mum and dad got me a few secondhand pieces for my birthday!
I'll start with this super cute Paisley pattern dress, I love this!! I have only worn it a few times so far and have always paired it with tights and my chunky boots.


I'm really looking forward to wearing it in Spring/Summer as I think it will be so cute with a little denim jacket and either my lilac sliders or pink fluffy sandals!!! Can't lie, I spend most of my time planning Summer outfits as I am so over this rubbish weather.

The second dress I got for my birthday was an amazing maxi dress originally from Vera Moda! I have actually only worn this dress once so far but I will definitely be wearing it so much more.

I took this dress with me to London In January and styled it very casually, again with my fave boots, a hat, and my aviator jacket and I am obsessed with how it looked!


The quality of this dress is amazing, and I think the floral pattern is stunning. I really want to wear this dressed up to give it a completely different vibe. My plan is to wear it with my fave white heels and a mini white or pink bag. I think I would wear my hair up and pair it with some silver earrings for a minimalistic, classic look.












Moving on to this year, my first purchase was the most amazing dad style Blazer!! Of course, I got it on Depop but it is originally from ASOS. I have been wearing this sooooooo much, I am on such a blazer hype at the minute and this is my fave. The quality, the fit, the colour, EVERYTHING about this blazer is just a bit of me and you can wear it in so many ways.  I've worn it with jeans, joggers, shorts and I also think it can be so nice for a work look.

Honestly, blazers are such a staple piece for your wardrobe I can't recommend them enough. Look on Depop, go to your local charity shops and search for Blazers, I've gotten such amazing quality ones for the best prices!! The one I'm wearing was still online at ASOS at the time I bought It,  for £55. Whereas I got it for £30 and it had never been worn.

**SIDE NOTE - If anyone is selling the matching shorts in a UK 6 or UK 8 then please let me know!!!!

Most recently, I've gotten these Adidas yellow shorts! I've had the lilac pair for ages now and have been after the yellow ones for quite some time. I only paid £10 for them on Depop and the girl had only worn them once. I cannot wait to wear these in the Summer!

Obviously, they are cute to wear to the gym but they are also so fashionable. I will be wearing them with chunky trainers, cute socks, and a little crop top!

They will also be a cute throw on piece for holiday with a bikini top when you're around the pool or at the beach (paired with a little straw hat!!!!).


Finally, I have ordered a pair of Gym Shark Leggings from Depop but I'm still waiting on them to arrive. I have heard so many good things about Gym Shark quality so I can't wait to test them out. Obviously, I'll be posting an Instagram pic when I get them so keep ya eyes peeled.


That's everything!! As I said I've not really been buying that much, I'm focusing on buying good quality, long-lasting pieces that can become staples in my wardrobe.

I hope you enjoyed this post & I'll try to get another up ASAP!
