Style Inspo: Thrifting Secrets For Finding Designer Gems & The 20-Year Rule

We've all been there: you walk into a vintage store, feel instantly overwhelmed by the "dress uppy" costumes and confusing eras, and leave with nothing. This week, Leigh is talking to vintage expert Tara Rowe, owner of the viral vintage wedding dress store Call Me The Breeze, about how to actually succeed at secondhand shopping.

Tara explains why the secret isn't thrifting (which involves rummaging), but finding curated resellers who act as your personal "conduit" for the good stuff. She shares her tips for finding sellers who match your niche, why 90s fashion is the most in-demand era, and why there’s nothing cooler than saying "Oh, this? It's vintage."

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Leigh's Boujie: Vintage Gold Event Dress

Tara's Boujie: Love Well Sourced

Leigh's Budget: Vintage White Blouse

Tara's Budget: Dillon Store
