An ode to my shoes, that have sat in my closet since my gnarly ankle bid them adieu in April. I spied the clutch in my closet on my way out to see Harry Potter and realized, "Hey, these match. YES!" One of my first vintage purchases, I think I paid $12 for the clutch in 6th grade at Mars on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley (before it was bought out as a member of the same vintage chain that sold me my red leather skirt). I used to walk past after school on my way to the bus stop. Also, it is a coincidence that my yellow nail polish has faded to match the purse. I promise.
Do you have a story about your first vintage purchase? Please tell me about it in a comment! Bisous.
