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’m not usually in to the body-con dresses, but I make an exception for the goddess of wrap dresses, Diane von Furstenberg. Thanks to my newfound obsession with designer consignment (lookin’ at you, The RealReal), I got this dress for $40. (Insert raise the roof emoji.)

If you’re looking to dip your toes in the online consignment pond but you’re skeptical of whether the shit you’re buying is going to be what you expect, I recommend The RealReal. I’ve ordered from them 4 times (in less than 2 months but who’s counting) and have been extremely pleased overall. I only wish they did free shipping and returns! But, it just means you have to be more careful with what you decide to buy, which really is something we should all be working on anyway.
