What if you bought clothes that already exist?

What if I told you that your favorite clothes already exist in someone else’s wardrobe? Maybe they haven’t been worn much and they’re just waiting for the right person to love them.

It’s very possible that that happened with these two red skirts I recently bought from Zadaa. Aren’t they lovely? I can see myself happily twirling through the summer in these – whatever the current situation in the world.
(I mean, you can always make embarrasing TikTok videos indoors.)

Why I love shopping pre-loved from Zadaa

Shopping pre-loved feels better, because there is no guilt included in the purchase. Bear in mind, I still try to be very mindful about my shopping. Before adding these to my cart I saved them to my favorites and thought about the purchase for about a week. That’s one of the great features about the app – you can save your favorite items and come back to them.

The silk shirt that I’m wearing here was also one of those mindful purchases. I had saved it to my favorites and thought long and hard on buying it. I actually pretty often consult my friends too – I send a screenshot and ask their opinion on some items. It’s in size M, so I wasn’t sure if it would be too baggy on me. But sometimes you need to take a chance and I’m so happy I finally bought it! I can’t believe I paid only 14,99€  – including postage – for it! It’s 100% silk and if you’ve worn silk clothes, you know just how comfortable they feel against your skin.

Although when it comes to saving items and thinking on them, sometimes you should be fast. Experience has taught me that great deals tend to go fast. Like if it’s a wanted brand, a designer item, or if you accidentally put the price super low. Or if the item has been saved by a lot of people. You can always see how many saves the item has – another good thing about the app! So if you really find something you like and it’s a great deal, I suggest being fast. Once I sold Tiffany’s earrings for 20 euros and they went pretty quickly. Well, at least I made someone very happy.

Why I use Zadaa?

Zadaa is basically like a normal online store, where you add the item in your cart and get it shipped to you. And you get to do it all with your phone. I’ve bought some great things, while on a long road trip.

Recently Zadaa got a makeover and the app got even simpler. What I really like is that there’s no meetups or even a need for them. When you list the item you also list the fabric, size and condition, so the buyer knows what she/he gets. It’s super helpful to see the item on the seller. I can then compare my height and size and determine if it’s a good fit for me. Most of the time I get it just right.

Nowadays I buy most of my clothes second hand, from the app. My friends already know to ask (when they see me wearing a new thing): “Is that from Zadaa also?” And usually it is.

Here are a few more reasons why I like the app

As a buyer I’m very happy that Zadaa has a money back guarantee all the way up to 10 000€. I’ve experienced that the customer service works fast. Once I bought a jacket that was said to be size S, but it ended up being XS. The return was easy and I got my money back. So if you buy a faulty item or it’s not as described, you don’t have to worry.

The app and platform is free to use and Zadaa only takes a small percentage of the sold items. You can always see how much money is left for you, after Zadaa’s fee. I love that Zadaa works like this, because I don’t have to worry about dishonest buyers or sellers and Zadaa takes care of the transactions.

I also love to sell on the app. Currently I’m selling a DKNY bag, cute sunglasses and a few other items. You can check out my boutique here!

All white outfit & some behind the scenes truths

*Adlink

A while back I wore this all white outfit featuring my newest back bag and a red scarf. Can you believe that my outfit is almost entirely second hand? I bought those white Levi’s jeans, Michael Kors bag and a red Burberry scarf from Zadaa, my trusted second hand app. (I got the bag with a discount for our Instagram collaboration.)

I really loved this outfit and I could wear it every day. That red scarf make it very suitable for Fall and is giving me some major Christmas vibes. Then again, right now,  everything is giving me Christmas vibes. It’s my favorite time of the year.

When you look at the photos, you’d think I was all cozy, warm and happy there. I was actually cold and wet. At the end of this photoshoot my hair was dripping and when I came home I wore Risto’s winter jacket – indoor – because I was still shivering. I thought it would be funny for once to share some truths behind these photos. Reveal what you can’t see.

We found this place by accident. It’s an inner court in one of the prettiest streets of Helsinki. The gate was open, so we sneaked in. I’m pretty sure I’m standing in front of someone’s door, or back door. It was raining and we thought this was a safe spot, but the rain actually dripped through a sparse board ceiling, under which I was standing. Susanna, who was taking photos, had to hold my jacket and bag, while also holding an umbrella, since we had to protect the camera from the rain. Now that I think of it, the situation must have looked pretty hilarious.

I was also nervous about the fact that someone might come and shoo us away. I’m one of those people who can’t take a tram ride without paying or even come up with a white lie. I’m all about doing everything by the book – not breaking the rules. Just as a sidenote. Then again we were there just for a moment and didn’t leave any trash behind. So whoever lived there – thank you for providing us a nice place to shoot.

It was also pretty difficult to not let the cold and rain show up on my face. In most of the photos, you can see that I’d much rather be home, enjoying a cup of warm tea under a very warm blanket. Luckily Susanna was such a good sport, not minding the rain and we got lots of good photos of her. And enough of me as well.

Shooting outside, in Fall or Winter, in Finland is a struggle. But one that is worth it. Just like this photoshoot was.
