Thrift shopping: yes or no?

Today I'd like to talk about my passion, something that helps me forget about my problems and something that makes me loose track of time - shopping. Just like most girls I love shopping very much. Before quarantine my mom and I used shopping as some kind of therapy. We were the best shopping buddies and went to the malls almost every weekends. Going to the secondhand stores was also a part of our shopping journey.

Certainly, everyone likes stylish and good quality clothing. But the problem is that the clothes of popular brands may cost a good deal of money. Now, I personally not a big fan of spending large amounts of money on designer clothes. I mean, I love expensive brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada and others, but I personally wouldn't spend millions of dollars to fill my wardrobe with designer dresses, bags and shoes. I believe that it is amazing to be able to afford the clothes of such brands but it's important not to go too far with it.

I can say that I'm absolutely in favour of thrift shopping. In secondhand stores you can find so many popular brands and the clothing of actually good quality. I feel like nowadays thrift shopping has become a trend. So many bloggers and stars do not hide the fact hat they buy clothing in secondhand stores. Moreover, there are so many thrift flip videos on Youtube where people turn secondhand clothing into trendy outfits. 
I do have friends that don't understand thrift shopping saying that it's unsanitary and new clothing is so much better and most importantly - no one had worn it before. Well, everyone has their own opinions about things and it's okay. I believe that wearing thrift clothing is absolutely safe as long as you wash it after buying. 
To sum up, thrift shopping is amazing way to save money and stay stylish at the same time. If you haven't bought anything from thrift stores (which is very weired if you actually haven't:) I encourage you to try it and to insipre you, I'll soon do a post about outfit ideas.


Thank you so much for reading my thoughts till the end:) I will see you very soon!

How to make the most out of your mornings

A good start of the morning is the key to a productive and happy day. In this post I'm going to share with you my morning routine and some tips that help me to feel energetic and motivated throughout the day.  1. An hour without a phone I've already talked about this in my previous post. I've been learning to start my day without Instagram, Twitter and other social platforms. It really helps  to keep my mind clear for the first hour after waking up and I just feel more calm and present by doing this. It is a very simple habit but I really encourage you to try it. 2. Stretches After making my bed, brushing my theeth and washing my face I'm trying to convince myself to do a little work out. Unfortunately, I've never been in good relationships with sport and working out is the last thing I want to do in the morning:D But I figured that it is so much easier to do a 5 min morning stretches. I'm just doing torso twists, shoulder stretch, bending forward etc. It really...

Survive the heat and stay stylish in summer

Most people don't really care about being fashionable in summer. And it's understandable because when it is 90 degrees outside all you want is to stay in the place with a good air conditioning wearing nothing but a swimsuit. However we still have to leave our houses, go to work and do things outside. That's why it is very important to choose appropariate clothes.  Firstly, when it is very hot outside I recommend wearing clothes made from natural fabrics like linen and cotton. They will let your skin breath and you will feel comfortable. Besides, natural fabrics absorb the moisture nicely and they feel very good on the skin. Second rule is to wear loose clothes. For instance, loose dresses are very popular this summer. I really like this trend because there is a huge variety of loose dresses of different length, design and shape. Victorian sleeve dresses are my personal favourites. Good thing is that you will feel free and comfortable in loose clothes and it is even better i...
