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
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?
"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 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.
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 😅

Oh how I used to want the soft pouch!

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

Blasphemy on my mum's part 😂 😭

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 😂
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 🥰

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!
😂 😭

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