GUEST CURATION BY
Erika Veurink is a writer, brand strategist, and founder of EV Salon based in Brooklyn by way of Iowa. Writes Cup of Jo's monthly fashion column.
My favorite place to buy second hand clothes in Des Moines is Worn and the Salvation Army downtown. I collect art as a way of building a home while I still rent in the city. I can't wait to have a fabulous country space where all of it can live for good, but for now, they're city dwellers like me.
Living in New York, art can feel like the only permanent thing about where you live. People move apartments all the time, and when I made the city my home over a decade ago, I brought a few framed pieces from Iowa with me. They're still a part of my collection today. When I got married a few years ago, I knew I wanted to register for a piece of art that would always remind us of that day.
