Travel

As mentioned before, I like buying preloved clothes, you get something you might not consider within your  budget if it were offered at retail price, the pleasure of knowing you are doing your bit for recycling and the knowledge you are less likely to bump into someone cloned in the same outfit.




I won an auction bid for this super featherlight pure silk kaftan, it was brand new with tags and had originally retailed at five times the winning bid, so an extravagant item at a wonderful price.  


I am always on the look out for Anokhi hand block printed items and probably have too many things in  their lovely trademark navy patterns (but I can always sell them)  ... so was pleased to win an auction bid on this midi dress in cool Indian cotton, in the traditional hand blocked print.





You can guess I am planning our next holiday, Jamaica... with the uncertainty caused by Corona virus it is impossible to know what lies ahead, but we booked this months ago and will have to wait and see how it all turns out, whether we will be fit to fly, whether Jamaica will be fit to welcome us and whether the airline will be flying there at all in  2 months from now; things are changing quickly and constantly.   Would it be safer not to travel? Who knows

We are making sure we hand wash frequently with soap.  The shop shelves here are barren of ibuprofen and hand gel... panic buying is not sensible.  I hope you are safe, whats happening in your part of the world?
