My 2023 New Year's Resolution Is to Buy More Vintage—30 Items in My Cart
There's nothing I take more pride in than my collection of vintage luxury items. Just thinking about the lives that these pieces must have lived before they fell into my hands makes my head spin. Whether it's the Miu Miu skirt that I bought for a bargain right before the brand blew up or the Khaite blouse that's from the brand's first collection, each piece has a story of its own. It's been a very busy year and I haven't been able to find the time to dig through the internet to find these special pieces, so my New Year's resolution in 2023 will be to acquire more vintage finds.
The invention of the internet is truly life-changing. I'm not really one for sorting through thrift store bargain bins, but scrolling through carefully curated websites like The RealReal, Fashionphile, What Goes Around Comes Around, Rebag, and more will always warm my heart. Below, find the first 30 pieces that I'm considering adding to my vintage designer collection.
Blue-jean baby.
Denim accessories will never go out of style.
Just look at this two-piece.
I mean, can you imagine owning her?
Everyone will know that this top is vintage designer.
This is a such a moment.
I'll be planning a weekend trip around this bag.
You're coming home with me.
I am already dreaming of styling this with an oversize sweater.
