Tell me why the construction and stitching and longevity of these pieces is literally better than a lot of real clothing now AND it’s cuter… they don’t make them like they used to folks

Go to a vintage store and feel the fabric, check the buttons and the seams, try it on. They will last you longer, wear better, and fit you well. You can hunt in thrift stores too, but I think it’s worth the cost to support a local business (as long as they’re not a crazy markup). The owners of those shops have done the work to find the quality stuff, including some incredible designer brands. To get the same level of tailoring and craftsmanship with new clothes today, you have to pay $$$$. Which can also be worth it if you really love the thing and want to support the designer. But tops from the 90’s and before are excellent. Unique patterns, weaves, softer and heavier material. They don't make them like they used to, collect them while you still can.

I don’t want to have to explain this — I’ll leave u with the fact that everything I get from there lasts like decades and doesn’t go “out of style”. Makes me feel hawt and cute.

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
