I had a look at the Quince shoe and handbag section. I was surprised that it isn’t that inexpensive. Cheaper than what they are knocking off but still not cheap.
I’ve been having issues with one ankle and the foot swells as the day goes on making most of my cute shoes uncomfortable. I’ve had to let vanity slip and wear sneakers with some outfits I would have worn a sandal.

I was at the mall yesterday hiding from the heat and picking up my Nordstrom order of bras and Ugg slippers. Browsed the racks and came across a beautiful shirt that was not on sale, but I had to have it! New to me brand Per Una (a M&S brand). It is very boxy, so my regular size 6 was super roomy and no gaping button closures! I’m going to get some mileage out of the shirt this summer if the above normal temperatures continue. The embroidery is very sheer but a flesh colored bra and/or silk cami do the trick.

Cute shirt, Bunsen. I like the brown tie-up sandals the model is wearing, too!

That’s somewhat similar to my very old shirt that I lost in New Zealand. I never wore it as a shirt but rather as a cover up over sleeveless tops in the summer, or sometimes at the beach. But more $$ than I would spend for that usage at this time.
The sandals remind of these that I have from Gentle Souls though not the same color. I have the metallic ones. They are very comfortable

I am late to this party, as we are sans WiFi for a bit with our recent move. Aside: Isn’t it interesting that the same person - ahem - who was late in calling for installation is also the one calling for me to limit my data?? But I’m on WiFi at a coffee shop and catching up.
I would pair that with silver and turquoise jewelry! A squash blossom necklace would look fantastic!

Has anyone bought or sold via Vinted?
@conmama ??? Have I asked this before? Sounds like they are newer to the U.S. An influencer I follow is partnering today and today she posted a BUNCH of good clothing on it as a promotion charging only $2/per item - of course things sold IMMEDIATELY but also she is tiny and I am not. 
Never heard of that app so looked it up. This sounds like an honest review!
That article is UK based - my understanding is that the US version was/is developing and launching with a better (?) business model.
I don’t know a ton of course. As resellers come and go and CHANGE (Poshmark has been under some scrutiny recently from both buyers and sellers) there are opportunities for mid level clothing to have a platform yo sell/buy.
While the hope is people just buy less so waste less, that just doesn’t fly for many - hence a glut of extra clothes needing homes.
Look with discretion of course!!
I think the business model is the same from what I can see. Most complaints in the US are similar per Reddit etc. - lack of customer service for sellers and use of cut rate shipping companies that have a higher rate of loss of packages. I would be careful about buying any higher end items but regular stuff should be OK!
Had some bad luck lately.
Had 2 packages that were lost in the mail. Nordstrom was a dream, it was the red purse I ordered form the sale. Clicked a few buttons and they refunded my money.
The other (Talbots) was a nightmare. 3 different calls, had to wait 14 days from the time the package was lost in UPS system. It was disappointing. I see not ordering much if anything from them in the future.
Also had a very nice merino wool sweater in my closet that I washed over the weekend and hung in my closet. I found a huge hole which explains the moth I found. Had to throw it away, the hole was big!
Today I received a package of items from Chico’s that i never ordered and are not in my size. When I called, they said I could bring them to a store or donate. That was nice.
But yea, strange things have happened lately!

I went to Nordstrom to pick up my mail order… it was a zoo! Had to wait 20 minutes in line for pick up. Then thank goodness I noticed that my denim jacket was missing! I asked the gal to look for it because I just received the email… she looked it up, and it was showing up as cancelled but she was able to find the package! Came home… and one of the swim bras is the wrong color and style! Ugh. The anniversary sale is driving everyone crazy!

I sold 2 really low priced things on there I’ve had for more than 5 years. I just wanted my money back. I wont use it much as my average sale price is much higher than that. I also dont trust the platform yet.
