Juste- finest rescued pieces

16/05/2024

Today I felt like an IDIOT.🫠

I went to a shopping mall to walk around and popped to Massimo Dutti.
The clothes looked classy, some had good fabrics and I have to admit that, as a late 30s gal, I really do appreciate their simple silhouettes.

The shop smelled nice, the music was quiet and I found myself wondering around, admiring their summer collection.

“I’ve got a birthday coming up, so maybe I’ll treat myself to a linen shirt”- a stray thought suddenly popped in my head. 🫣

I looked around, touched a few pieces and then looked at the prices.
Shoes were over €100, a summer dress, (already with some makeup stains 😳), €129.. a simple linen shirt? €79.

I considered it for less than a second, then sobered up.

After years of thrifting and building a quality wardrobe with silks, cashmeres and linen, buying any of these new clothes would make me feel like a complete IDIOT…

Why would I pay them €79 for a shirt, when I got my almost new one for €3 in my local charity shop?

Why would I support their unethical production practices?

Why would I encourage overproduction?

Why would I fall into a consumerism trap?

I consider myself better than that. More aware than that. More creative than that.

🌍There are enough clothes on this earth to dress 6 generations.

There are enough for the rich, enough for the poor and enough for the (shrinking) middle class. There are gems out there.

You just need to look.👀

We can outsmart the fashion industry. We can stop this overproduction madness.

*I want to note that buying good quality pieces that will last YEARS is good. Paying more for a quality piece is still better than buying cheap stuff all the time.

is a part of Inditex and has a sustainability rating of “not good enough “ or 5/10 according to fashion Transparency Index. They DO NOT pay a living wage and some of their production practices are considered unethical.

Outfit looks out of whack? (Like in the last photo?)

💎Add a thrifted belt 💎

A good secondhand belt (and other accessories) can make or brake an outfit.
They
💎correct proportions
💎add an interesting accent
💎make it look more put together and creative.

Leather belts are my FAVOURITE thing to thrift.

Secondhand are SO MUCH cheaper than new (you can get them for a £2-£5 most of the time) and there’s always a huge selection in charity shops and thrift shops.

Don’t bother buying new!

This outfit was sponsored by the random clothes selection 😀

I bought this St Michael blazer and the silver skirt in two different charity shops in one day. I just put them together for fun but it actually works quite well!

The vintage blazer is available for sale (size 14) so DM me if you want more info x

I had a long break but I’m back trying to convince you that you can build premium quality wardrobe for pennies by just shopping preloved 💎

I’ll have a new schedule too, since posting every day is a lot more work than I thought!
I’ll be running 3 simple series:

💎Tips Tuesday- all preloved, vintage and secondhand shopping tips you can think of.

💎What I bought and how I styled it- a preloved, vintage piece of clothing that I recently bought and how I styled it 2/3 different ways, to give you some inspiration.

💎From the men’s department- the third series will be changing- this winter it’s about styling jumpers from the men’s department- a gold mine, as you probably know, for wools, silks and cashmeres 🥳

And of course I’ll keep hunting for those luxury fabrics and share it with you in stories.

Thank you for being here and sharing my obsession with secondhand quality clothes 🥰 I hope you enjoy looking at some of those funds as much as I do. Let’s end fast fashion for good ❤️

Vintage coats 😍

Who doesn’t love them?

I went to my favourite charity shop and they had 50% off everything so I went a bit crazy and bought all of these beauties. Some will be available to buy ❤️

💎1. Chelsea girl 80s wool mix navy coat ( I haven’t decided if I want to keep it or not, message me if you’re desperate to have it ;)

💎2. Real suede brown jacket from M&S, love it to bits! So casual and comfortable

💎3. Italian coat, absolutely gorgeous but slightly too small for moi 😩 3/4 sleeves, just gorgeous pattern and so well cut!

💎4. Real leather camel trench coat, looks so sophisticated but slightly too small for me and it shows, so message if you want it, it’s size 8.

💎5. Grey wool bomber jacket, my instant favourite, just looks so on trend now with the oversized vibe.

💎6. Black bomber coat, wool mix- Italian. It’s got very interesting shape: looks super elegant, a bit bomber, a bit oversized. Size 10-12. It’s available because I already have two other black coats 😅
