I have been drawn to this brand for quite a while now. I'll admit that I did buy several pieces that were inspired by the designer and created by the fast fashion industry, and which now I regret. I have been trying not to buy from fast fashion companies and instead focusing on quality pieces (used or new) that can be worn many times.
Since COVID has taken a toll on my thrift shopping days, I love browsing on The Real Real and Poshmark. I enjoy adding my favorite items to my wish list. I have many items I don't end up buying until they notify me the item has a discount. I bought this Derek Lam 10 Crosby, 2-1 dress from Poshmark, and it was new with tags. I also use this platform to sell my items (find me here). I love that the dress is 2-1, because you can wear the top and dress desperately. I actually found this dress brand new at a discount too at YOOX.
This dress was polled and voted 62% yes! I only paid $40 bucks. Some of these items could cost up to $300. These pieces I selected for you are used and under $100.
1. Derek Lam 10 Crosby Striped Dress $80 (20% off )
2. Derek Lam 10 Crosby Striped Dress $80 (20% off)
3. Derek Lam 10 Crosby New w/tags Dress $75 (20% off)
4. Derek Lam 10 Crosby Crew Neck Knee-Length Dress New w/tags $48
Let's also think about the environment. By purchasing a used item like the ones above you are contributing to a more sustainable fashion future. You are also saving around 218 liters of water and 1.03 kg of carbon.
Also, I got my YSL bag from JOMAS.com, they always have great deals! But you need to act fast because they are gone! Here is a similar one.
