Till Monday: Thrift List


A few years ago this bitter hipster guy went off to me about the demise of thrift stores - how 10 years ago they were so great, full of 60's and 70's stuff, and now they were all 80's clothes. Like dude, Time is such a bastard!


Whatever. One man's existential pain is another girl's perfect pleated pant. A few items for your second-hand pleasure below.

What's on your thrifting list?

Accessories: Net Assets

Girls, now you CAN hide those lyin' eyes --


Put Kenley Collins out of your mind. There is something kind of creepy and demure at once about wearing a veil, and they look good sitting around your bedroom.




Left to right from top:


1. Sparkle veil pill box hat $45.00
2. Vintage Jean Patou question mark hat $695.00 (but how friggin' awesome)
3. "Rome Fascinator" $38.00
4. "Sophie" vintage bow head piece $129.00

The rectangular net panel that just goes across the eyes (worn by that pink panther in the first top left image) is called a Venetian veil; (here's one). Kanye West can trade in his Venetian shades for this to usher in his new demure phase.

Oh Mickey


It makes perfect sense to me that the only tee graphic with any authenticity left (after Urban Outfitters ruined "vintage" tees forever) is from the most tightly controlled licensor in the world. Maybe your BFF Miley can get you a soft grey tee with vintage Mickey doing jazz hands? Because they are impossible to come by.

Since Disney doesn't understand girls over the age of 13, the only covetable item available anywhere on the web (and believe me, I looked) is this men's grey sweatshirt. But I bet size small would be perfect.



Get it here.

Dandelion

Yellow is a good color, especially for "vintage" wayfarers that are $4.99.

1. Knockaround $7
