This week I was trying to stick to summery styled pieces, but I may have digressed a bit when I found some great multi-seasonal items.
I can’t pass up items even when they aren’t in season.
That’s a rule for myself. I keep an open mind because some of the best pieces I’ve sourced have been found off-season.
This is also a reason that I list non-seasonal items on Poshmark because I know there are others like me who like to work on their wardrobes as a whole versus season by season.
That being said, I did find some goodies that I am excited to share with you.
So we will start with two jackets/blazers, one is linen and the other is leather.
Both are green.
Let’s go back to the days of Yore when Gap produced great leather jackets like this first one. Remember those days?
They seem to be getting back on track a bit, but there is still a long way to go before they reach the level that they used to be.
The second blazer is actually linen which makes it perfect for the warmer weather.
I love the colour and the stripes, and it is a great light jacket option that adds some colour and visual interest.

This set of dresses is epic.
A 90s slip dress. I mean, how often do you see them nowadays?
The second is my favourite piece of this post. It is the most iconic vintage babydoll dress by Anna Sui. Can you imagine it paired with Docs, or some socks and Mary Janes?
Modern it up with ballet flats, sneakers, or even some minimalist sandals. Over jean?

This is where I talk about how I don’t always source vintage with the intent to wear.
Often, I find pieces that I want to collect. And an example of this are these vintage Betsey Johnson paperdoll print gloves.
These are a stunning representation of her quirky pieces and I would have these displayed.
We all know that I love a driving cap, so needless to say I want to add this to my cart.
It is vintage Dolce & Gabbana and made from brown suede. Great condition and a fantastic accessory.

Two vintage Moschino blazers with two very different, but fun prints.
Moschino is very much about prints and campiness, so this heart collage blazer is a great example of that.
This second blazer is for the teeny tiny among us. I think it is an xs/2 and is a statement piece.

Vintage footwear, anyone?
I adore the striped print on these vintage Fendi shoes. The colour and non straight lines are pretty trippy, and I have never seen a pair like this before.
The second are some Prada mules and a great representation of how you do not need to buy new in order to participate in trends.
Both the style and butter yellow colour are so on-trend right now.

I found another vintage Dosa silk skirt, this one is in yellow. It obviously needs a steam because it isn’t showing itself off the best, all wrinkly here.
But once steamed, it would be a lovely summer skirt.
These articulated Cloisonné fish pendants are also everywhere this season, but readily available secondhand.
I love this necklace.

In summer, it is all about the accessories, so this little rose print scarf by Anna Sui would be perfect.
You could tie it over your hair, around your neck, or on your bag. So many options to add a little something extra to your summer look.
Striped cotton Ralph Lauren sweaters are always something I seek out, and I adore the colours of this particular sweater.
Even just used to tie around your waist or shoulders to add some print, colour, or contrast.

And lastly, we have some bags.
This green. Seriousl,y though, how pretty is it? And it is Ferragamo, so you get the quality along with the colour.
I think we all need one coloured bag in our wardrobe.
And this animal print clutch is so Alexander McQueen coded. It looks like the de manta clutch without the price tag.
This one is probably the steal of the day.

That is it, people.
Now I have to go and watch The Handmaid’s Tale finale and be depressed. I can’t wait for The Testaments to come out.
They have been spotted filming it around the city recently, which I like because this is where they filmed The Handmaid’s Tale, so I am glad they are sticking to the same world.
Have a good one.
