Paula’s Picks - Second Thoughts
When I was preparing for my recent photoshoot, my stylist Elaine (who is incredible if you ever need a stylist!), introduced me to an incredible brand called Second Thoughts, and I knew I had to share it with you. Not only do they create stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces, but they’re also redefining what it means to be sustainable in fashion. Plus, as a little treat for my readers, you can enjoy 15% off all orders with the code OYSTA15!
The Story Behind Second Thoughts
Second Thoughts is not your typical clothing brand—and they’re definitely not a secondhand store. Instead, they’re a clothing line powered by secondhand fashion. Here’s how it works: they take pre-existing pieces, dry clean them, and then work their magic to revamp them into modern, stylish designs that feel both fresh and timeless. This unique approach sits at the intersection of sustainability and today’s fashion-forward trends.
Why does this matter? Because the fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to waste. Second Thoughts is tackling that head-on by giving new life to existing pieces instead of contributing to the endless cycle of overproduction. It’s not just about rescuing garments from waste; it’s about reimagining them in a way that’s relevant to today’s style landscape.
Each item is completely unique, making every purchase a one-of-a-kind addition to your wardrobe. They’re answering the question: How can we elevate a piece to meet modern demand while doing better for the planet?
Shop The Look
Linking the exact piece I wore from Second Thoughts here, so you can check it out for yourself. It was the perfect combination of chic and modern—and knowing it was sustainably made made me love it even more. We paired the shirt with my favorite Wolford Tights, Chunky Jewelry from Argento Vivo, my signature black headband, and simple Sam Edelman black heels and skinny belt.
