When it comes to shopping on Vinted, there's more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye. The items that find their way onto our "Favourites" lists reveal a lot about who we are, what we want to be, and sometimes even what we're afraid of.
For Rebecca Liu, it's all about the leather trousers – a status symbol she once admired from afar but ultimately couldn't pull off. Her Vinted wishlist features cute pink pairs that might pass as Barbie-approved, but the doubts linger, making her question whether they're truly worth the investment.
Meanwhile, Kitty Drake is obsessed with underboob dresses, those infamous minidresses that promise to unleash our inner teenager. For her, they represent a desire for youth and rebellion – a fantasy she's desperate to cling to as she navigates adult life.
Emma Loffhagen's wishlist is more about atonement than aspiration; she spends hours scrolling on Vinted in search of affordable designer gems that will help her redeem herself from the sins of fast fashion. Her "graveyard" of items waiting for a price drop has become an endless source of procrastination, with even the most outlandish statement pieces tantalizingly out of reach.
Gavin McOwan is locked in a battle of wills with his navy Engineered Garments overshirt, a relic of his youthful, aspirational self that refuses to give up its grip on him. His Vinted wishlist also features an enviable collection of hipster-approved designer items – all because he loves the clean lines and bold designs that evoke a sense of timeless cool.
Kate Lloyd turned 36 and had a midlife crisis that played out in her wardrobe choices, revealing a fantasy version of herself: Professional Kate. Her Vinted wishlist is now filled with vintage and high-street pieces from brands like Nicole Farhi and Margaret Howell – symbols of sophistication and elegance she craves, but only if they're done right.
Lastly, Jason Okundaye wears his love for stripes on his sleeve (literally). Big, colourful horizontal stripes unlock both vulnerability and confidence in him; it's a testament to the enduring power of fashion as an expression of self. His Vinted wishlist features Marni items that embody his inner child – fluffy black and yellow jumpers that make him feel like he's finally found his true self.
These are just a few snapshots from the fascinating world of Vinted wishlists. By peering into our digital wardrobes, we reveal more than just fashion trends – we expose our deepest desires, insecurities, and aspirations.

like, i know i've scrolled through fashion pages for hours and ended up buying stuff i didn't need just because i liked the pics. but at the same time, seeing these wishlists is also super interesting - it's like they're saying 'hey, this is me' even if they don't think so 
Emma Loffhagen's wishlist is all about redemption – trying to make up for past fashion mistakes by finding affordable designer gems. Gavin McOwan's battle with his overshirt is like a metaphor for the struggle to hold onto our youth and aspirational selves. It's like, can we really let go of the past and find new identity? 
and Emma's sin list is on point tho, I mean who hasn't fallen into the trap of fast fashion? 
but what I love about this article is how it shows our true selves, flaws and all. no pretending to be someone we're not, just embracing who we are (mostly). 
AND THEN THERE'S KITTY WHO'S STUCK IN A YOUTHFUL FASHION STAGE 
IT'S LIKE WE'RE ALL TRYING TO CLING TO OUR INNER TEENAGER AS WE GET OLDER!!! 
BUT HEY, WHO AM I TO JUDGE RIGHT?!
. It's all about experimentation and finding what works for us. And honestly, it's kind of refreshing to see that everyone has their own unique story behind their wishlist – from Emma's atonement phase to Jason's inner child expression 
.

I think it's really interesting how our online shopping habits can reflect our inner selves. For me, it's all about finding that balance between comfort and style 
. I've got a wishlist full of basics like cozy sweaters and distressed denim, but also some more statement pieces like bold patterned dresses 
. It's funny how some items on my list can evoke strong emotions - like how I'm hesitant to invest in that designer handbag because it feels too fancy 
.
. For some people, it might be about nostalgia or fantasy, while for others it's about self-expression and confidence 
. Whatever the reason, I think online shopping is an incredible way to connect with our personalities and showcase who we are as individuals 
. It's so cool to see what's hiding behind those "Favourites" lists - it's like a peek into our innermost thoughts 
... Kate Lloyd's Professional Kate vibe is giving me major adulting goals 
. And can we talk about Jason Okundaye's love for stripes? 
.
. And honestly, I'm kinda fascinated by this whole thing 
.
. I mean, those leather trousers that Rebecca Liu has been eyeing? That says she's still got some inner diva in her 
. And poor Emma, stuck in this cycle of wanting to atone for fast fashion – its like she's trying to buy her way out of being a bit of a fashion disaster 
. Or, like me, I've got my fair share of comfy jumpers from Jason Okundaye's wishlist 
... guess thats just what we need to feel confident and relaxed in our own skin 
It's like a psychological experiment in disguise. Interesting
