This month, I am enjoying the fruits of a very successful visit to Ending Soon while in NY last week, where I found two of the most perfect vintage Prada skirts along with a spring/summer 1999 Miu Miu jacket that I couldn’t leave without. Blame, or thank, shopping on my birthday in the throes of Taurus season. The owner of the store commented that the pieces I picked out all belonged to a very specific era, which only validates my constant referencing of the wardrobes of Joan Carol Clayton and Rachel Green (circa 1999/2000).
Here’s what I’m wearing for the first bit of warm weather…
OUTFIT 1

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Astrid tee

Vintage Banana Republic bag via eBay

Vintage Levi 501s via Passport Vintage: I don’t think the shop sells online anymore (I bought these jeans from them back in 2016) but Holdwest on Etsy has a large and reasonably priced collection of vintage denim, if you’re in the market.
Maryam Nassir Zadeh Olympia wedge via TRR
Vintage Chanel PVC tote: If you’re on the hunt for this, I linked to one on eBay in the last newsletter.

Vintage Banana Republic leather bag
Where I’d wear it: I’d wear this pretty much anywhere. To dinner with the family, drinks with a friend, a meeting, etc.
OUTFIT 6
Vintage Prada grey wool skirt via Ending Soon: I wish the color showed up better in this photo; it’s the most perfect charcoal grey wool with black and red belt accents. I found a vintage Prada skirt in the same fabric but a different silhouette on Vestiaire Collective (I love the back detail).
Gil Rodriguez tube convertible mini dress: Worn as a top.
Vintage leather boots via Vestiaire Collective
Vintage Banana Republic leather bag
Where I’d wear it: I plan on squeezing in a few wears of this perfect wool skirt before it gets packed away for fall. I’d wear this to grab dinner with friends, or throw on my leather trench and wear it to a work event.
Like fall, this time of year is one of my favorites to dress for—jacket-optional weather is supreme. Find the full May Outfits Note below, thank you for being here!
