A Second Chance with Vestiaire Collective

If you're like me and always on the fence about buying new pieces, you'll indubitably find that the moment passes you by and soon enough, lusted-after pieces of the season are sold out. I've found the solution to this problem.

I'm being basic AF right now, but this quintessential Gucci shirt was something I've wanted for a longgg time. Their multiple variations are constantly sold out, and every time I saw it back in stock, I hesitated one second too long.

Vestiaire Collective is a site dedicated to buying and selling authentic designer wares; you'll find everything from clothing to shoes to home goods to sports gear (I have my eye on some Chanel skis!). Not only can you find pieces that slipped through your fingers, you can sell your previously-loved designer pieces and buyers and sellers can negotiate on prices. I negotiated back and forth a few times on this shirt (which was brand new with tags and all packaging, by the way) and the seller and I settled on a price that worked for both of us. It takes a minute to arrive at your doorstep because the seller has to ship it to Vestiaire for their experts to authenticate the item, but it's absolutely worth it. There's also a "Ready to Ship" section for those of you who are more about the instant gratification life. Vestiaire Collective is a marketplace that caters to all.

Check out Vestiaire Collective here. PRO TIP: Check their "Just In" section every morning to make sure you pounce on those precious new arrivals.
