It is good weather here in Gothenburg(spring here usually is pretty fine) what makes it very hard to stay at home working with my blog. Therefore I post so rarely. But today I want to present my outfit even if it is taken by old mobile phone camera. I hope this collage will remind you about me:-)

Beyond retro or never say never
It is spring here on the west coast of Sweden - birds are singing, flowers are in blossom and sun is shining...
But enough with the weather forecast for you my lovely readers:-)Let's talk about mystery of second hand shopping. What is it so cool about it and why mix of second hand clothing and new one have become a trend? And why some people hate second-hand stores while another are just crazy about them?
Usually second hand stores are places filled with huge piles of clothing, with lack of changing rooms and pretty frowzy air what makes them pretty unattractive for ordinary people like me who have no extreme urge or motivation to throw themselves in to these smelly piles with hope to find whether the pearl of fashion, bargain or an excellent executed thing. Another quite strong factor that motivates fashionistas of all over the world to go to these stores are celebrities who show candid interest towards this type of clothing in urge to stand out their colleagues from show business by wearing unique cloth pieces. Personally I do not like to follow blindly other people choices even celebrities. For me shopping is pleasure, I want to come to the store and in quite relaxed atmosphere choose pieces I like and buy it with a smile still on my face, with another words I want to have fun for my money. No stress or taut nerves are allowed otherwise it is no good deal for me. So I have avoided second hand stores because of my fear of getting a negative shopping experience besides I can't stand the bad smell.
But miracles can happen:-) Yesterday while I was browsing clothes at the local Topshop I suddenly found myself browsing dresses which weren't looking like Kate Moss dresses for Topshop at all. It was Beyond Retro store which is renting a corner at Topshop's. While I was realizing that fact my arm stretched automatically to one dress(Neiman Marcus, ca 22 euro), which I couldn't let go since then even if it comes from a second hand store's assortment. I plan to wear this light sheer silk dress with some light sandals on sunny summer days.
