As soon as Bottega cross hatch heels and soft pouches were everywhere I became allergic to them… now they’re all over resale for exactly the reasons you listed above
"like when my mum told me people over 40 shouldn't wear leopard print and I believed it." Every Italian-American in my neighborhood just gasped in horror.
I never got any at the time they were viral but there's a pair of Isabel Marant Becketts (viral in 2011-12, acquired via ebay in January 2022 for 45 quid!) and Acne Jensens (viral in 2015? made their way to me only in 2023) still hanging around and I don't want to get rid of them anytime soon. Also a pair of Miu Miu daisy print clogs from Spring/Summer 2010 that have been with me since 2019? Unwalkable but so cute I've sworn to keep them as bookends even if they're no longer wearable.
I wanted the Jensens soooo badly! Great deal on the Becketts and I feel like you got in before the second wave of wedge sneakers - they've had such a comeback recently.
for what it's worth the Jensens are the only boots with a pointed-toe design to not absolutely murder my wide feet on contact (true to size, I got a black suede pair which I think have a bit more give). Definitely worth considering if you're still in the market for a comfy-ish not too high block heeled boot that can be worn under trousers (kitten heel boots are not for me), and ebay still has decent deals.
Also not a kitten heel boot person! I'll have to take stock of my boot collection when winter comes round, I can't seem to think about them right now when it's 30 degrees 😅
I feel like this post called me out, lol, as I have the rainbow Acne Studios scarf (which I also refuse to part ways with) and the green With Jean dress (which I’ve never worn) - maybe buying viral pieces is no longer the way to go?
I bought the House of Sunny dress second hand and this was before I was on tiktok so when I was researching how to care for it I was surprised to see it was had already had its day. But its so cute! Thank u for singing its praises again. Im gonna still wear mine too :)
I definitely had the Réalisation and sold it. The sleeves were just way too long for me. I think you could make the Kenzo sweater cool again! Lean into the cheesy-tourist vibes.
I have this green Kenzo sweater sitting in my loft in storage. Too sentimental to part with it - too intense to ever wear 😂 maybe I should frame it as a reminder that everything that’s hot, one day, will be not.
I have one of those Kenzie tiger sweaters that I thrifted for like 35 bucks.😁 I actually enjoy picking up stuff that was trendy and wearing it well after its past date.💕
I just bought viral gazelles in pink colour, off discount while in holidays in my small city, I know the trend is probably going downhill but I know I will be wearing them ☺️ so I guess sometimes resisting the trend a little pays off or not. It’s a bet.
Ooh yes, Realisation! Their viral leopard print skirt got me and I was thrilled when I found it secondhand, but tbh have barely worn it. The RealReal is flooded with them, so I’m going to make an effort to wear mine this summer.
I needed to read this, thank you! A gray Kenzo tiger sweater has been hanging in my closet for too many years and I have been a bit paralyzed by it. Haha. Time to let it go!
I reeeeally want to see photos of the scratched up MG bag and the moth eaten acne scarf! I love seeing how stuff wears in/out.
I'll have to post them somewhere - they are very well loved 🥰

Oh how I used to want the soft pouch!

Blasphemy on my mum's part 😂 😭

(all my ex-virals are shoes, go figure)

Just divine x

Snuggly blanket scarves forever imo! My With Jean dress is currently on Depop with countless others selling theirs.

Yesss so hear for wearing things outside the trend cycle.

The chokehold that house of sunny dress had in me 😭
Oh me too! I'm yet to bust it out this summer but I love that my partner tracked it down for me.

I'm sure like everything they will have their moment once more. Soon younger gens will be calling them iconic! 🔁
I’ll save it for my daughter and she’ll call it vintage ☠️
So true but it hurts 😂

Def is - my bucket bag still gets so much wear. If you still love it after the hype dies down it's worth it x
Looool my mulberry kenzo sweater was a major miss 🤡 consigned it a while back
Mine currently in the pile for cosigning!
We got scammed hahah
I did the exact same thing with the Kenzo jumper. Felt like a total tit in it so sold it!
😂 😭
That Mansur Gavriel bag looks as good now as it did then!
