Three thrifted outfits for secondhand September ✨ Everything except my baskets and beret in the first photo is second hand!

Winterabende fühlen sich anders an, wenn man etwas trägt, das schon Geschichten erlebt hat 🤍

Mein schwarz-grauer Lieblingsschal hat mich durch kalte Tage begleitet. So oft um meinen Hals gewickelt, draußen im Frost, drinnen ganz nah bei mir.

Jetzt sucht er ein neues Zuhause. Vielleicht deins?

Die Auktion läuft nur noch kurz:

So many fashion weeks. Paris, Milan, London. New York, New York. Other places. Incoming and outgoing designers, Fashion Houses, models, celebrities, influencers. The Fall/Winter, Spring/Summer, the Ready to Wear, the Haute Couture collections. THOSE details, THAT designer. THE Label of the Year. The cuts, the fabrics, the textures and structures, the beads - oh but have you seen the silhouette? You should. It is phenomenal. So many fashion critics and critiques these days - both with and without qualifications, work experience and skillset, mind you - but who cares? They have the followership, so that's fine. These days, these fashion social-mediaists, have a pre-show runway-lookbook themselves: oh look at me, look at what I wore to NYFW, hashtag brands, exposure and algorithm. At the end of the day (and of course awkwardly side-stepping the ethical and highly significant issues of production, consumption and sustainability), where are we, actually, with fashion? Are we living in a time where the competitiveness to one-up has made fashion - and the industry - for lack of a better word, boring? Is everyone trying too hard? In an oversaturated industry and, therefore flooded market, is the desperation to stand out making it all a bit .. meh?

Today’s outfit is very 70’s/Western themed. I woke up late this morning and knew I wanted to wear these pants and when I saw this vest in my closet, I had a quick passing thought that this shirt would be a great addition to the overall look. I love it when the translation from outfit ideas turns out exactly how I imagine.

Was it a coincidence that I also ran into a man wearing a cowboy hat at that gas station this morning? Or a sign this was the right outfit for the day?

Shirt, vest, belt and shoes from the Goodwill.

I found this vest around Christmas last year with a ton of other western style items and it was an instant love!

Let’s also talk about the cute details on this top. And I will tell you a secret, I’m wearing it backwards 🤫

This stripped tie detail was designed for the back of the shirt but I absolutely adore the way it looks like a scarf when it’s in the front. It’s giving 70’s flight attendant or maybe receptionist.

I’m also a huge fan of mixing patterns. The black and white strips with the thin cheetah belt and let’s not forget about the cute floral details on the shoes.
