The Preloved Edit

The Chartreuse Green Embroidered Tie Back Dress

I found this beauty on Vinted and it’s been to Portugal and now France. Haven’t worn it in the UK yet as haven’t had the occasion but hopefully I will soon.

It feels expensive and you wouldn’t think it was a supermarket brand (Tu), although I’m finding supermarkets pieces so good at the moment.

The clothes shops in Antibes were beautiful but soooo expensive. Dresses like this would be near to £100 and in my opinion no better quality.

Shopping preloved gives me so much enjoyment especially when you find nice pieces like this.

I’ve got the same dress on my rails in a size 6 and 8. Priced at £24 plus postage. I’ll be adding them to the website but if anyone’s interested just send me a message or comment below.

I’ve been sitting on these photos and not done anything with them 🙈 and I’ve been back a week!

Antibes, Côte d’Azur, France 2026 🇫🇷

A beautiful holiday, a chance to slow down (as much as you can with two children with you 😂), time to appreciate the architecture and surroundings. Lots of good food and wine. And plenty of opportunities to wear my favourite preloved summer pieces, including this open back embroidered dress in a beautiful olive green, found on Vinted.

And of course I have a couple I’ve sourced on the rail.

I’ll add more info on my next post.

Lots to share over the next few days. So many pretty places to photograph, great food and wine to drink. Even managed to find a couple of secondhand shops!

Jumping on this trend, because quite frankly I can never have too many clothes!

Clothes bring me so much joy. And keeping them in circulation makes me even happier.

Who else can relate?
