Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

A sunny day at the beach with my sister and mum. A souvlaki for lunch and mint icecream for dessert. A ladybug landed on me, a sure sign of good luck. What more could I ask for? I happily strolled along the beach in my new-to-me Tree Of Life dress that I bought on eBay at the beginning of 2025. Completely in my element, I admired the turquoise water and sky.  On the way home, we stopped into a Vinnies opshop. I found a purple velvet kaftan, a yellow floral parasol and my sister spotted an I Dream of Jeannie book for me, all for a grand total of $14. I was happy with that.

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...
