My secret for authentic and historically-rich clothing: second-hand stores. Although it may be the contrary, most of the items I find are impeccably preserved and reasonably priced, housed in an environment that may not be as lavish as a department store, but definitely an area that is committed to recycling goods and providing for the disadvantaged. Second-hand stores are my melting pots of creativity, embodying a retrospective flare, a diverse fashion, and, above all, a conscientious heart.
