Bestselling author Bella Mackie on re-examining her shopping habits and why she only shops second hand now, plus her second hand shopping tips.
I have always been an avid shopper; my mother used to joke that the gene had been passed straight down from her mother – some of whose beautiful clothes I used to dress up in as a child – to me. From the moment I had money to spend, it was on clothes. Partly, I was a product of my time – my teenage years coincided with the glory days of Topshop, Kookai and Morgan, which brought trends to every high street. As an adult, I’ve always used shopping as an emotional buffer.
I’ve also changed how often I shop, losing that long held desire to keep up with the never-ending new drops that ensure we stay ‘on trend’. I can now go weeks without looking at a shopping site, and try to never mindlessly browse. Instead, I attempt to only look for something specific I want within tight search perimeters, which lessens the temptation to buy things spontaneously.
