You know when you least expect to find something you find it? That’s what this post is about. Or maybe it’s about the fact that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a slice of designer into your wardrobe?
I’m wearing a Christian Dior mens coat found at Housing Works thrift.
A coat was not on my mind when entering the shop in Soho a couple of weeks ago. Actually nothing is when walking into a second hand shop. It was the infamous: ‘I’ll just go and have a look’ which is code for you are going to find something. So said so done. Less than ten seconds in and I clock the coat hanging behind the counter. I assume that it’s sold if it’s out of reach. Thank God I bloody well asked because it wasn’t.Finding gems is what I live for. Well not live for but it’s why I started visiting New York in the first place.
