hi adorables,
Today, I need to talk about heartbreak. No, not the romantic kind – I'm talking about the special kind of heartbreak that comes when you realize your favorite vintage piece doesn't fit anymore. 😭
Grab your tissues (or maybe your credit cards), because I've got some news that's equal parts heartbreaking and exciting. Remember that absolute gem of a Jane Norman cargo playsuit I am always posting on my instagram and tiktok? The beige beauty that made me feel like a Y2K pop star crossed with Lara Croft? Well, it's officially up for grabs on my website...
First things first - can we talk about how thrifting in London hits different when you're an LA girl? Don't get me wrong, I love our Cali thrift scene, but there's something magical about digging through racks at Portobello Market. Whatever it is, my thrifting adventures in London always feel extra special.
Let me take you back to that fateful day in London. There I was, thinking about grabbing a quick lunch, when BAM! This playsuit practically leapt off the rack and into my arms. The Jane Norman label (cue nostalgic sighs), the perfect shade of beige and cargo pockets. Well, sort of. Let's just say these pockets are more for show than, you know, actually carrying anything – it was love at first sight.
For a while, we were inseparable. This playsuit saw me through impromptu park hangouts and retro-themed parties. But as time went on, things... changed. Let's just say those early morning coffee runs and my newfound appreciation for baking had consequences that no amount of "it must have shrunk in the wash" could explain away.
So, after many tearful try-on sessions and a lot of soul-searching, I made the tough decision to let it go. And now, my dear friends, it's officially listed on my website, waiting for its next adventure.
To whoever snags this piece of Y2K gold:
- You're not just getting a playsuit; you're getting a souvenir of London's incredible vintage scene.
- Those cargo pockets are perfect for... well, looking cool. Maybe you can fit a single AirPod in there if you're feeling adventurous.
- Please, please send me a pic or post one on our community page of you rocking it. I'll be living vicariously through you!
And to my lovely vintage community:
- It's live on the site now! Run, don't walk!
- If you've ever had to part with a beloved vintage piece, send virtual hugs. We're in this together.
- Got any London thrifting tips? I'm clearly due for another trip!
To my darling cargo playsuit: Thanks for the memories, the confidence boosts, and for teaching me that beige can indeed be badass. Here's to your next chapter!
Until next time, keep thrifting, keep styling, and remember – sometimes loving vintage means knowing when to let go (and list it on your website).
P.S. If you see me constantly refreshing the listing page, no you didn't. I'm just... checking for typos. Yeah, that's it. 👀
stay adorable!
