Really excited to be taking on this new project, can’t wait to share some of my favorite findings and give you guys the best of my love.
I recently ran across this awesome vintage t-shirt company called, MATE Vintage, and not only are they the coolest, comfiest, and affordable vintage t-shirt company in LA, for every vintage tee they sell a brand new cotton tee is donated to a youth in need! Or as MATE likes to put it “In with the old, out with the new”.
Im obsessing over this sky blue t-shirt they have that says Dallas on it! The great thing about a vintage t-shirt is that you can rock the hell out of it DAY and NIGHT. You can dress up a vintage t-shirt to go out in, or wear it running around during the day, heck you can even sleep in it.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Vintage stores and believe me, its not easy finding a great vintage piece. These girls take all the greatest things and put them in one place!! Who run the world? Yes, I said girls, the company was started by two best friends Kayti O’Connel and Kelsey Tudor. If you don’t want to do all the leg work, and want some adorable vintage t-shirts to add to your collection check them out!!
best of my love… dakota

I agree vintage is where its at.
everything recycles itself
Mate knows what they are doing, classic stuff and good pricing.
So excited that Dakota is writing for LR now. I love her.
YES!!!! Love Love Love!!
Love the new style tips. It’s so refreshing to read new posts that are actually deal with a fashion perspective. Love Dakota!
Looks like the style bug runs in the family. I actually want to learn more about their Mom’s fashion sense.
Welcome Dakota! Hopefully us ladies all play nice!
I love your post, it is really good what they are doing, I guess a lot of companies started like what TOMS did. Whenever I visit my father I always grab his “39 forever” shirt or something of that sort, makes a great dress with a belt and some Jeffery Campbells! Glad to have you!
Welcome Dak! I agree, vintage is where it’s at! Glad to see you posting, don’t worry, there will be people on here that say mean stuff, just ignore them! Oh, and yay for tall girls! I’m 5’11!

Donating tee-shirts to kids in need is a thoughtful gesture. Bless you for thinking of others.
:::rolls eyes::: No we are not best friends but Shayne calls her that so I assumed Dak was just what most call her. For example, my name is Jacquelyn but most people call me Jackie. Just figured that’s what she normally goes by. It weirds me out when people call me Jacquelyn. I only hear that when I’m in trouble lol.
