As a continuation of the “Spring second-hand shop order” I decided to add a dress to my summer wardrobe.
This order also ended with a blouse with long sleeves and a high neck.
But hey! It’s exactly the kind of cut that when it’s time to wear it, they’re rarely available (in second-hand stores, the kind I like). So, I bought in advance.
And this order also included pants.
But not all of the order remained, so I sent some back. Scroll down and find out what I’m talking about in more detail.

Nothing here has been matched with each other, but simply put on to show the products and take pictures.

In total, all the clothes cost 32.20€.

*These are second-hand products that were ordered from an online store.

This 100% viscose blue and white summer dress is beautiful in appearance.
But! I was cheated on it, so to speak, and I only noticed it after the first wash.
In other words, a stripe of fabric has worn off along all of these layers (the dress is sewn in layers). And in two places the dress had even started to split at the seams.
Usually, I notice such things immediately and send the product back, but this time I noticed it too late.
But well, I was in a very bad mood and annoyed when I tried on the clothes this time.
So it all goes with being human.

On the other hand, the dress is very airy and lets your skin breathe. I repaired the open holes and left it as a dress what I can wear at home.

The dress cost 5 euros.

Super comfortable black cotton biker shorts.
Made of a nice soft, yet stronger cotton material.
They cost 2 euros and they look brand new (just without tags).

Anyone with big thighs knows how necessary biker shorts are under a dress/skirt.

Pink long cotton top.
95% cotton, 5% elastane.
Please don’t ask me what was going on in my head when I took a picture of this top like that, haha. It looks so silly. I probably wanted to show how long it is.
I only discovered the length when I received the top. I didn’t pay attention to the measurements before.

But the top itself is made of a nice soft material and I’m happy.
It cost 2 euros.

Beautiful long green-white-blue cotton summer dress.
Cost 6 euros. Material 99% cotton, 1% metallized fibers.

A beautiful dress in itself. Rather thick material.
I haven’t been able to wear it yet, because we simply haven’t had enough warm summer weather.
To my surprise, it was too big for my chest, even though I don’t have the smallest breasts. I probably need to make two intakes at the chest so that the fabric wouldn’t be so loose around the breasts.
And! Some of the metal fibers had come out, as if they had stretched out of the fabric. But I saw that it could be fixed with a little effort.

White turtleneck blouse.
It’s a little small for me at the moment (it rolls up from the stomach).
But it cost 2 euros and was a mixture of cotton, modal and elastane.
Since life has shown that when I want to buy these blouses, there aren’t many on sale that I like, so I’ve started buying them in advance.

Purple turtleneck.
It was made of an absolutely horrible itchy material, even though it was 97% cotton and 3% elastane. When I bought it, it seemed like such a nice, stretchy, soft material.
Well, I sent it back anyway.
Although the color was beautiful in real life (like rich purple).

Black cotton blouse.
The material was 100% cotton and it was super soft!
However, it seemed to me to be off-color. In the product picture it was a beautiful black, but in real life it was more of a dull gray or something like that.
Also, I don’t like when blouses are too sloppy, like they’ve lost their shape.
I sent it back.

Bright leopard print three-quarter length summer pants.
With this purchase I learned that if I’m big, pants made of thin (not form-fitting) material are not my thing.
In general, I have noticed that if you are a larger size. Then it would be better if the material of the pants was a little thicker, so it would hold its shape better on the leg and not make you look excessively baggy/big.
I returned these pants.

A triangular headscarf with a sun pattern.
Because I’ve reached the age where “being cool” is no longer the priority, but rather taking care of my health.
Then I bought this great headscarf. In case I want to go to the beach or I want to go SUP boarding.
I may look silly, but at least I’ll protect myself from sunstroke and sunburn.
Because surprise-surprise, scalp sunburn is a real thing and very nasty 😖.

I don’t know the material. It looks like a mix of synthetics and cotton. It cost 1 euro.

My assistant also needed to assist me here.
Blue and white patterned scarf. Super beautiful!
The picture doesn’t show the colors that well.
The composition of the material is unknown. But it doesn’t seem to have that much synthetic content. It’s slippery to the touch, but doesn’t make you sweat when you wear it.
I haven’t touched a silk scarf in a long time, so I can’t compare it to silk at the moment.
In any case, it’s important and positive for me that it doesn’t make skin sweat when I wear the scarf around neck (I already tried it).
It cost 2 euros.

I was very satisfied with this purchase. I feel like colors with cold undertones like this suit me more. They make me happier and add nice colors to my face in a good way.
Maybe I’m a cold winter on the color scale? At least that’s how I feel. I’ve been thinking about taking a personal styling course, where they also teach the client how to use the right colors. Because we all have different skin tones and undertones, which affect how different colored clothes look on us.

Did you like any of these products? Which one?
Let me know in the comments.
