favorite thrift find? I recently came across an old leather juicy couture clutch at repurposed vintage store in New York. It had a huge gold buckle on the front - it is ugly in the most perfect way
if you could bring back a fashion trend, which would you bring back and why? I would say shoulder pads - I think the structure and silhouette they create is super interesting and really powerful. I’ve recently purchased my first little leather piece with them and can’t wait to style it.
But the words never felt light. They felt like a label and an expectation. Like a role I was bound to grow into. This served as the precedent to how I would grow up and who I would grow into being—someone whose worth would be packaged into how I will one day affect men.
