Sustainable fashion: come for the reduced carbon footprint, stay for the cheap designer duds.
OK, so secondhand Gucci still isn’t cheap, but for special occasions (like surviving 2019), it’s a splurge I’m willing to make! Not only is secondhand less expensive than buying new, but you also don’t have to worry about putting the first scratch or smudge on something fancy. Maybe I’m the only one who stresses about scratching a shoe, but it’s weirdly freeing for me to step out of the house in shoes that are already “imperfect.” I didn’t always think of used clothing this way, but I’m so glad I’ve changed my tune.
You know who else is glad? Whoever earned a nice commission when I bought her Gucci pumps!

I loved the photos and your style. Very happy to find another blogger suggesting using second hand and re-use items. I think your style was sophisticated, professional, but sweet at the same time.
