I Was Sad So I Bought A Pair Of Khaite Jeans
+ some second hand finds and other things getting me through the winter slump
Whenever I’m feeling off I find myself gravitating towards the things that make me feel better. A mix of dreaming (Pinterest), window shopping (browsing TRR, Poshmark, Vestiaire) and, subsequently, buying a piece or two that I’ve been eyeing.
This cycle, I bought the Khaite Daria jeans.
They’re an older style. Slim, long, reminiscent of a skinny jean but a little more tapered.
I don’t know if they’ll fit. I don’t know if they’ll look like what I’m envisioning, but the mere act of hitting ‘offer’ gave me just enough dopamine that I finally had enough energy to get out of bed and make breakfast.
While I was at it I also purchased a chocolate brown lambskin leather jacket that I’d been eyeing, silver clip on earrings (similar here) and a black Khaite Emmylou tee.
Above is a recreation of said pieces that are currently still available, they are second hand however so act quick!
I’m also loving the silver vibe that’s been circulating the past few seasons, especially in oversize/statement pieces. I always search for Lié Studio pieces, like this bracelet and these earrings, when I’m browsing Poshmark and TRR as they make some of my faves.
I’ve been wanting to share more of my secondhand/resell finds here. I’ve shied away previously out of a ridiculous attempt to gatekeep (as if I could ever buy all the things I have saved!) but the joy I get whenever I receive a message from one of you about a piece you bought via my newsletter outweighs so I have decided to open up the files!
Recently, on me…
More soon!
