Your Crow Brain Will Love These Festive Vintage Pieces
& the underrated label to search to find them
I love how snow glitters. A blanket of glistening powder swaddling the earth, cloaking frozen ground with a plush white shawl. It’s a kind of twinkle you can’t find anywhere else.
Between the snow, the string lights, and the slinky festive outfits, glitter rarely receives more appreciation than during this time of year. Such attention to shine becomes unavoidable in my vintage searching too — as we descend deeper and deeper into the holiday season, a shimmery fervor takes hold of me. My crow-like tendencies shove their way into the driver’s seat and insist on pulling over at every sparkly detour in sight.
These are the sartorial details that catch my eye like a crow spotting a freshly minted dime between the sidewalk cracks:
sequins, sparkles, and shimmering beadwork
metallics, velvets, and satins that glisten in the fairy lights
polished leathers and silky furs
rich plaids and thick bows
frilly lace trim piped on like cake frosting
funky fastenings and embellishments
buoyant ruffles
decadently rich colors
& vintage silhouettes for a hit of holiday nostalgia
The untethered feeling of the holiday season and the liminal space that is the month of the December affords us a special kind of freedom: freedom to eat leftover cookies for breakfast; freedom to shop and gift with reckless abandon; freedom to wear the shiniest most obnoxious thing in our closet over a pair of brilliant red tights without being questioned.
