Slow Style Blog

Trends come and go (we’re looking at you, low-rise jeans), but a thoughtfully chosen vintage wardrobe? That’s forever.

Start with the classics. Know your style. Pay attention to fit. Think long-term wearability. Edit ruthlessly.

Vintage clothing isn't just old-it's gold. From made in the USA denim to boots with stories to tell, preloved fashion deserves a second act. It's sustainable, it's stylish, and it's anything but basic. In a world of fast fashion copy and paste, vintage lets you stand out, slow down, and dress with purpose. Whether you're reliving the '80s or rocking the '90s grunge, it's time to give those one of a kind pieces the encore they deserve.

Ever wondered if my beverage carrier is for a dog? (Spoiler: it’s not.) From handmade leather bags to fire hose handbags (yes, real fire hose), these are the 5 most common—and slightly hilarious—questions I get asked at markets. Whether you’re curious about who makes it all, how I find the boots, or just here for the stories, this one’s for you.

Breaking up with fast fashion? Same.

I got tired of clothes that fell apart, trends that changed weekly, and a closet full of "meh". So I chose slow style instead, and honestly? I've never looked back.

From handmade leather and upcycled bags to vintage that tells a story, slow fashion isn't just what I wear, it's how I run my whole business.

In this post, I'm spilling the tea on why slow fashion matters in 2025, how it supports people (not just profits), and why made in the USA still hits different.

Let's build a closet, and a future, that lasts.
