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.)

Hey friends – How’s everyone hanging in there? (Emphasis on “IN” because that’s where we should all be staying as much as possible.) I’m on day 7 of self-quarantine and it hasn’t been great but it hasn’t been terrible either. Those of you with kids, I have no idea how you are doing it. If everyone in your family is still alive at the end of this, you deserve a trophy. A trophy filled with wine.

I’m here today to briefly distract you from your troubles with this outfit I wore a few weeks ago. I splurged on this Hermès belt when I was in NYC last month. Is it silly to spend so much money on one belt? Yes. But luckily, this belt is reversible. Therefore it is 2 belts and a totally reasonable purchase.

P.S. This skirt is actually a dress! Pro tip: layer sweaters over your summer dresses to make them more versatile year-round.
