miu miu and Prada on resale pt. I

Finds from Vestiaire Collective, Vinted, eBay

I was reading a bunch of interviews with Miuccia Prada in System magazine yesterday, and I discovered that we have two things in common! It made me smile.

1. First thing in common:

Literally writing this at 6am from my bed.

2. Second thing in common:

   

   I am a perfect size 37! This is an FYI for a potential secret admirer of mine who’s willing to give me shoes.

There are so many quotes I could share that really resonated with me, but I’d rather you explore the interviews yourself and highlight what stands out to you. :-)

Feeling inspired by my reading, I wanted to quickly share a few things I found, saved, and would probably buy if it weren’t for those goddamn bills. All of these treasures come from resale, which, as I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, is my one and only shopping destination.

In conversation with Tavi Gevinson, Mrs. Prada compares Prada and Miu Miu, saying:

What a wonderful reminder! We all need a bit of childlike wonder in our lives, but let’s be honest — being an adult has its perks. Especially when it comes to actually paying for all that Miu Miu and Prada!

That’s all for now. I mean, I’ve got so much more saved but I had to stop somewhere.

Do you want to add anything to your cart? Did you? Let me know. Or just buy it pls, so my mind can be free(-er)!

One thing I’ll add, if I were you, I’d definitely try to get the Prada slingbacks. I cannot stop thinking about them ever since I read
