I'm going to let you in on a little secret, but only if you "Prada promise" not to tell. Poor people aren't the ones taking their last season wardrobe to The Goodwill. Even the most Neiman-noble fashion girls (myself included) have to admit when they find something amazing, they buy it; no matter if they cart it to their car in plastic or paper. I love designer clothes and investing in my wardrobe is a requirement of my job. That doesn't mean I always have to pay right-off- the-runway prices. Plus, I personally love the thrill of the thrift hunt. Perusing piles and rummaging through racks for hours, for that ingenious vintage piece sloshed in the middle of it all, begging you to take it home. Whether it's a vintage Burberry overcoat, or an antique fur, (both of which I have found and bought multiple times) these pieces are ready for the picking. I especially love it when I look online later and see the current season version of the coat I paid $10 for on burberry.com for $1295 (pictured above). Anyone can walk through a department store and pick up a dress that's right in front of them, but why would you want to be so boring?
P.S. If it the smell of the stores that's holding you back from all this bliss, one word: dry-cleaning.
xoxo. R
