Jennifer Chun, designer "This skirt was worn in nicely. It even has holes and distress marks in the right places. I ran out of the apartment with my husband’s T-shirt on, and they went perfectly together."

The former owner : "I haven’t worn this skirt in three years because it doesn’t fit, but I’ve kept it because I love looking at it. I’m happy to see it on her — I noticed her great style when she walked in today." Photo: Kimi Selfridge

Deidre Dyer, style editor, The Fader "I'll probably wear this Moschino blouse with denim cutoffs. My style is equal parts femme and butch; I love a double-denim look, anything sheer or mesh, or classic-construction Timbs with high-waisted jeans."

The former owner : "It’s kind of geeky-librarian style, but it has a sexy shape. But I don’t like collars that come up too high on my neck — it makes me feel like I’m choking. I’ve been holding onto this dress waiting for a friend who would rock it." —Natalie Pantoja, librarian
"I never wear color, but I must have been influenced by the sunshine today, because I gravitated to this bright-yellow utility dress with puffy ’80s sleeves." —Leah Rodriguez Photo: Kimi Selfridge

Dana Balch, PR assistant account executive "I always look for eclectic, special pieces to add to my wardrobe. I’m an amateur seamstress and love a good project. The top needs a button here and there, and I need to clip a few loose threads. It feels more personal when I have to mend a piece."

The former owner: "I wore this shirt over 300 times in the past ten years. It reminds me of the first night my in-laws went out to dinner to meet my parents. A good memory — but I really needed to let the shirt go." —Anna Sperber Photo: Kimi Selfridge

Briana Fails, restaurant manager; Elizabeth Karp-Evans, writer and editor "I love the pattern on the blouse. In spring and summer, I wear a lot of prints on everything. I’ll wear it with vintage Levi’s. I love menswear tailored for women. I don’t stick to one particular style, but I stay with similar cuts: skinny jeans, high-waisted trousers, high necklines, ankle boots." —Elizabeth Karp Evans

The former owner : "I bought this blouse in London, when I was a student at Middlesex University. I loved that it was silk and crazy patterns. I love giving away clothes — I belive it’s good energy to pass things along." —Amie Norris, photo editor and freelance producer

Briana Fails, restaurant manager "These are cute as fuck, and the color is amazing. Chloé is one of my favorite brands — not because it’s a high-end label with mass appeal, but because the clothes are always whimsical and feminine without being obnoxiously cute."

The former owner: "I bought these at a consignment shop on the Upper East Side to go with an Electric Feathers jumper. I love Chloé, but these were too big on me. I felt like I was walking with two loose bricks on my feet." —Millie Benson, painter Photo: Kimi Selfridge

Mary Fletcher, associate photo editor,
Teen Vogue "I snatched these heels almost on arrival. I’ve been needing new black pumps — the ones I have now are too high to walk in for an entire day.

Banana magazine "I’ve been scouring thrift shops for cow print for a few months now that I’m on a black-and-white wardrobe kick.

I wore it home from the swap bare-legged, with a pair of Nikes on."

Jillian Borde, PR coordinator, Tommy Hilfiger "I have lots of fringe, suede, leather — all types of crazy things in my closet. This skirt appealed to me because of the bold color and material. It’s hard to find things that fit when you’re curvy. I’d love to pair it with a black bodysuit and some chunky heels, with a sleek ponytail — feeling a ’70s vibe!"

Sarah Hanssen, filmmaker and professor "I loved the rich color of this shirt, and it looked like something I could wear to work. It’s a bit more 'pretty' than I usually go for. My style is casually confrontational. Power stance meets somersault. I was pleasantly surprised that it fit me well, because the girl who brought it has a totally different body type than me."

Diana Tsui, senior market editor, the Cut "I’ve always been a big fan of Bess’s reworked vintage pieces, so I instantly noticed the tag. It’s an oversize military shirt with a ton of rhinestones, which reminded me of the Marc Jacobs spring 2015 pieces, albeit a bit flashier. I like the way it layers — it worked really well with my white shirtdress. I’ll rewear this outfit, but I also envision it with a slim black turtleneck and a black A-line mini."
