Why I Dance in Orange: The Unexpected Joy of Secondhand Style

Sometimes, you just need to dance.

Not because there’s music. Not because anyone’s watching. Just because your mood lifts, your spirit jumps—and your outfit demands a little movement.

That’s exactly how I felt the first time I slipped into this bold orange dress from @KarenMillen. I found it secondhand on @Vinted. Was it totally my style? Honestly, I wasn’t sure. But the colour? I knew instantly—it made me feel something.

And every time I wear it, it still does. There's something about the vibrant pop of orange that wakes me up inside. It's pure joy, confidence, and a little bit of rebellion all in one. That dress doesn't just hang in my wardrobe. It dances with me.

Secondhand Style = Freedom to ExperimenT

Shopping secondhand is one of my favourite ways to try something unexpected. It’s playful. It’s low-risk. And it invites you to explore sides of yourself that fast fashion rarely allows.

That orange dress? It taught me that personal style isn’t about rules—it’s about energy.

So here’s my question to you:

What’s the one item in your wardrobe that makes you feel like dancing?
The one that instantly lifts your mood? That brings a little extra spring in your step?

If you haven’t found it yet—maybe it’s waiting for you on a secondhand rack
