Vintage & Secondhand
Looking for some spring dresses?
There are so many ways to be inspired. Personally, I find inspiration in interiors, art, florals, nature, old photographs, and little details I notice outdoors. Most of the time, nature helps guide my styling decisions — the colors of flowers, faded shells on the shore, the pages of vintage interior books.
For this post, I went on a little treasure hunt online for secondhand and vintage pieces and had so much fun putting these layouts together. There are so many beautiful dresses, shoes, bags, and pieces of jewelry out there if you simply take the time to look. But don’t worry, I picked out some gems for you. These are all saved pieces from Vestiaire Collective.
If you’re looking to add something special to your wardrobe — maybe a dress for a wedding, summer dinner, or upcoming event — there are so many beautiful finds. Personally, I’ve been eyeing Chanel ballet flats lately, and I can’t stop thinking about silk strappy dresses for summer.
I once read, “Style is something you have, fashion is something you buy,” and that quote has stayed with me ever since. Anyone can go out and buy what’s trending or what the industry tells us to wear, but styling it — making it feel personal, lived in, and reflective of who you are — is something entirely different.
True style feels collected. It’s shaped by memory, taste, travel, art, nature, films you love, the way your mother dressed, the colors you’re drawn to, the objects you keep in your home. Fashion can be purchased, but style is slowly cultivated over time.
