Or just skip the whole Wallet1 and Wallet2 setup altogether... and simply go: Buy Bitcoins -> Send to Mixer -> Your Wallet
Good shortcut, except the risky part during times when unconfirmed transactions are clogging the network and normal transaction could take more than a week.
Today, it's risk free even for a newbie.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but just now I can't imagine what the point is.
There is really no point here unless you're strictly conscious about your transaction and asset's privacy not against the regular users but the "Big Guys".
Otherwise, someone like me won't be able to tell if those bitcoins from an address belongs to you (unless if motivated/payed to do so).

Bitcoin was designed not to be anonymous,
But not re-using an address can help you keep your privacy safe, do not disable "Use Change Address" either.

If you wanted to be "slightly" anonymous, do the mini-mixing yourself by utilizing all of the addresses in another Electrum wallet.
Or just use a mixer service to skip the hassle.
