We've loved Yesterday's Moment for a while now, but we have to once again rave about their collection of accessories, particularly necklaces. They have a lot of interesting necklaces up right now, all affordably priced (which we really like) and of course, most of the items are vintage (yay, jewelry recycling!). Sites like YM are really cool because you have the opportunity to opt out of buying only new pieces, which is not only good for the environment, but you get a little history with your bracelet/ring/necklace, too.
The cool thing about many of the vintage sites out there like Yesterday's
Moment is that they highlight the fact that fashion really is cyclical--what's old is suddenly new again. Unlike clothing and items from twenty or thirty years ago, however, today's pieces are not made as durably. We're far more inclined to dispose of clothing once we're through with it, or someone tells us it is not fashionable anymore. We're all guilty of this. Buying vintage, though, is one way to remind ourselves that disposability isn't much of a virtue when it comes to clothing, and it also makes it more difficult to find a particular style that suits an individual, and stands the test of time. Alright, we'll get off our soapbox now, as long as you go check out Yesterday's Moment (www.yesterdaysmoment.com). Photos courtesy of Yesterday's Moment.
