Vintage or second-hand? And is there a difference?
Yes, there is. Clothing is considered vintage when older than 20 years from now. It has a certain value when bought and the price can go up with age, if well taken care of. (Like that vintage Chanel we all want, but can’t afford!)
A secon-hand piece is worth a few euros, and is often only a few years old. Yu won’t probably sell it for much in the future, but it’s worth the world for either fitting like a glove (an old pencil skirt), being worn-in (those Levi’s 501) and has a certain non-financial value of being original in a way.
The leather skirt I wore on the second day of Fashion LIVE! was a piece from one of the above. I found it in Luxury Vintage store downtown Bratislava and it was at leat one size bigger when I bought it. A year later it fits like a glove (hello chocolate and wine!) and I wear it from Autumn to Spring.
It was too hot to wear tights that day so I have decided to go for a skirt and boots combo. Red & blue seemed like the right idea, combined with a gray jumper and a see-trough plastic purse was my ideal outfit of the day. It was both – chic and comfy – which is what you need when running around with a camera shooting the shows while trying to look flawless. These are my first low-heel boots (I hate the word kitten heel!). A week prior to this day I ways saying how much I dislike them … but when you actually try them on and it’s all you wanna wear. And the color!
People were asking me a lot about my bag. Since I did not want to spend any money on an outfit and a purse in particular, you need to innovate! So i took the inside out and left it like that. Bingo
Well, we all change with time, and so do our preferences.
How about yours? Have they changed much in the past year?
Love,
OUTFIT: skirt – Luxury Vintage, shirt – Donna Rosi, jumper – Weekday, shoes – Zara, bag – Zara, socks – Weekday
