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 always find it interesting/amusing how older women are so in to colors and matching. Don’t ask me to define “older”…the color obsession is definitely a generational thing, and I’m not sure what the cutoff is, I’m just sure that it’s at least 10 years older than I am. So I’m going to stick with “older” but just know that I’m saying it in an entirely non-judgey way, k?

Based entirely on my own anecdotal evidence, I’ve gathered that older generations were taught that the way to look nice and put together was to match and to wear colors that complemented your skin/hair/eyes. And you know what – if matching makes you feel like a million coordinated bucks, do not stop on my account. But please don’t be offended if I continue to preach the gospel of breaking rules and mixing it up in the name of finding a more unique and modern personal style.

So now the question is: How many more years before matching is back in style and I’m the weird older woman wearing black and brown together?
