When: pre-pandemic // Weather: warm-ish // Real life: work
Today I am proud to present…BA BADA DAAAA (that was a trumpet)…an all-secondhand outfit!
The Loeffler Randall bag and Gucci loafers (#sofancy) were both purchased through The RealReal, the lace pants were a Poshmark find, the top I snagged at a local consignment shop, and the sunglasses — well, they might have been new, but I got them on eBay, so I’m counting it.
The ring is secondhand too — it came from Kristin’s grandmother’s jewelry box. Knowing her, it could just as easily be an authentic vintage piece as it could be from a Kohl’s sale 3 years ago. Unfortunately she’s not around for me to ask. But, I decided that what makes it special is who owned it before, not how much it’s worth. (That rule just applies to the grandma ring, not the Gucci loafers. Those things better be real.)

I love the ring! Your story reminds me of a ring I made with a stone from some earrings my late grandma had. It’s a beautiful aquamarine and my mom said she had it forever. Well, I took it an appraiser because I wanted to change the setting and he took one look at it and told me it was a fake gemstone haha.
Oh my gosh, that’s hilarious! (I assume you still wear it proudly?)
