what is it about vintage clothes that you love so much?
my favorite way to shop vintage is through estate sales. there is something eerily intriguing about going through a deceased person’s belongings, often just how they left them, like a crime scene. as someone with a tendency to romanticize, i could literally spend hours inspecting and envisioning this person’s life, and sometimes i would even work up the nerve to as. to clothe myself in a stranger’s history and past life, like a ghost within its quilted sheet of another’s recollections is to me, emphatically fascinating. in terms of thrifting, it almost makes me feel like an archaeologist, hunting for that piece of antiquity, and getting an almost pathetic rush when walking into the overwhelming ecletic atmosphere of goodwill. it’s hard to beat the feeling of the gratification you receive after finding a diamond in the rough, or restoring something to its original shine.
