Blasts from the Past

From time to time I find favored pieces from my closet on resale sites, including older/past season styles that I receive routine inquiries from readers about. I never track down enough of them at the same time for a post… until now!


I have had these photos sitting in an abandoned post since before the pandemic (photos were from a trip to Hong Kong): the alice + olivia Quincy Lace Jumpsuit featured in the post was a perfect travel companion; it is very compact (rolls into a fist-sized object) and is easy to dewrinkle (it’s one of those rare garments that you can dewrinkle by hanging in a running hot shower).

In any case, it sold out online before I had a chance to post about it, but I just found one in size 0 at TheRealReal and another in the same size on Poshmark, along with a camisole version in size XXS on TRR.

And here are several more items (many of which I consider “rare”) from my closet that can be found on resale sites: (note: while some of the sellers used my photos in their listings, I am not the seller nor did I give them permission to use the photos)
