fall wardrobe essentials: thrift or buy? (and some sustainable options) 

I liked how you highlighted that the most sustainable pieces are the ones you already own. Too many people on YT do sustainable hauls and that defeats the purpose. Those thrifted cashmere turtlenecks are gems! I've had luck thrifting a cashmere sweater in the men's section before so that's one place some may not think of~

Yes please make a video of how to thrift high end pieces 👍

Girl, your videos are honestly so refreshing. I love your outlook on sustainable fashion and ethical living. Thank you for the shout out to self confidence and not needing anything new!

Definitely interested in the How to style high end thrift.👍 The black turtle neck and leather pants outfit was my favorite. 🍻 The bomber jacket and your Eileen Fisher. ✌️💘

I would love to see a how to thrift quality pieces at the thrift shop

I love all your style..chic yet comfy. Yes on how to thrift high end pieces!

Absolutely love the vibe of this capsule. Makes me so pumped for fall.

i'm really glad i found your channel! thank you for making these videos, your style is everything sustainable fashion youtube needed. soooo on board with the thrifting high quality video!

Im obsessed with these videos... So resourceful! I'm close to clueless when it comes to putting together a wardrobe or sticking to a style. But thrift, sustainability and longevity are becoming increasingly important to me. Great to get inspiration and tips to building a wardrobe, even better from a fellow torontonian

How can you be so natural and also so chic! You are my goals😍

Wonderful advice & delivered in such a pleasant manner!

Loved this video. Thank you for sharing all these beautiful/functional pieces, and for sharing your thoughts on self value.

Definitely do a video on how to thrift higher quality pieces!!

Wow this is my favorite fashion video ever, so wonderful

So thorough as always. Appreciate all the time stamps too! 🥰 love every clothing item.

Just discovered your channel. I love your attitude and that you dont' have the typical "fashionista" body type. Really great content! Subscribed :)

Those leather trousers are fire!

I definitely think that fall symbolizes change and literally 'turning a new leaf' so I can see why people rock out new wardrobes, new styles, and marketing towards back to school as a 'fresh start' to the new year. either way, i love fall clothes. It always gives me a warm cozy vibe - xoxo subbie from Toronto, Ontario

Wow, this video was recommended to me and I'm so glad! I subscribed too. This video is exactly what I needed and I love your perspective! Thank you!

Love how you layered with the jumpsuit! Also, what amazing thrift finds 😍

Your blouse looks really nice on you, I love your style and your videos 😍

The houndstooth blazer as well as the simple (but sexy) jumpsuit look great on you!

Aw okay that gorgeous cardigan is thrifted. Absolutely love what you’re doing for spreading awareness for sustainable fashion 👍🏼👍🏼

I really love your channel! 💗 I really like the time marks with titles as well.

I am so happy that I discovered you.

I love this idea of sorting by what is likely to be thrifted and what is not. And your editing in this video is perfect

One thing that has helped me in building my wardrobe was creating a seasonal color palette. Yes, you found a cashmere sweater at the thrift. But no you can't get it cuz it's not your color and you won't feel good in it....that's me talking to myself 😋 thanks for your content. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for sharing which pieces are easy to thrift! That's so valuable. Lovely fall essentials 😊

would love a video on how to thrift higher quality!!

i am in LOVE with that bomber jacket

The intro is so important

New to this channel and absolutely adore everything about it. Recently began getting more into sustainability and being a conscious consumer and you've got the best vibes. Thanks so much!

I love every piece of clothing and your sayings about sustainability.. I thrifted a lot of similar pieces for my wardrobe and your tips are so helpful

girl grey looks good on you! as a fellow asian u can definitely rock it ❤️

Wow there were so many pieces of yours that I loved! Like the first knitted sweater you showed. I’ve found most of the clothes that I love and return to via thrift stores. There’s something to developing your own sense of style that allows you to be more sustainable, because you wont necessarily find something so special to a good price in big chain stores.

everything comes back in style - so just go thrifting and most of the time it´s better qualitiy as well - envy you fr having many thrift shops in the us

I luv ur channel im so happy i found dis🥺💕

Pleaseee do the how to thrift for high end pieces! Especially sweaters.

Great video gf! I’m just now really getting into the white tennis shoe and trouser look. I’m excited to get back into the office next week to start wearing my fall clothes ☺️ 🍁

Great video, and thanks for covering so much stuff in the description box

The part where you say it's worth waiting for an investment piece to come up in your second hand hunts... That resonated with me. I always try to thrift pieces first but I tend to get impatient and end up buying new sometimes when I cant find something fast enough. But you're right, there's no hurry in anything and it's sooo satisfying to be able to thrift something you've been looking for and for cheaper.

I would loooove to see more thrifting videos!

Loved your style and the video :)

I love Dries Van Noten!! And this is the first time I’ve seen it featured in a you tube styling video💕 I have a few pieces I’ve bought used but don’t wear them enough.

Loving the top you’re wearing (and everything in this video). Fall fashion is 💣. I believe in investment pieces!

Love this! What are your go-to thrifting stores?

Love everything 💞 you rock girl. Your selection is so right and so unique . That shop you had was soooo cool I wished I was near to visit . Love from Brazil 🇧🇷

an intellectual, i adore, i support, i subscriiiibee

Your style is very elegant and edgy at the same time! The joggers are really nice! The jumpsuit, I know what you mean.... I have never found one that fits properly. But that one looks really nice that you have. I think the white cardigan is my favorite item of the haul, it is really detailed, and cozy style!

Agree with all the clothes that you can or cannot buy in thrift shops and consignment stores. I had the same problems and yes I learn either to wait or buy new!! The funny thing is I was looking for a new pair of leather pants but could not find it anywhere ( not the shape I was looking for!) and then I found the perfect pair in my local consignment store! completely by chance! I sell some clothes there so using my account I paid only $20 instead of $100 and they are of an amazing buttery leather!!!!

9:30 this really resonated with me! I've been trying really hard lately to only buy items that I'm absolutely in love with and that I know I'll use for the next few years. But of course that requires patience and waiting, which can be difficult!

You’re so fly 😍😍

I think you just saved me like a thousand dollars. Thank you for giving me confidence that I can thrift these things!! Lol

Please make a vid on how to thrift high-end pieces! Also, I'm absolutely in love with that blue trench you shared 😭 great video!

I love a vest or gilet over everything in the fall

High quality thrifts would be a great video! So happy I stumbled on your channel.

I'm so so happy for you that you thrifted those amazing leather leggings, but I'm so sad I can't buy those exact ones they are so cute. Also yes yes yes on high end thrifting

Much love!!!

girl your thrift stores must be amaaaaaazing ive been looking for some good trousers forever but i cant find any that fit me 😩

I'd love to shop at second hand/thrift shops but they aren't really a thing in my country, we only have 2-3 in our capital and even those shops have cheap and poorly made clothing from the 00s. Mostly polyester brightly colored pieces...

Just found your channel, and I absolutely love it. I really appreciate the links for finding sustainable brands! I’ve been struggling with discerning an ethical company vs green washing.

Your style is premium. Plus you are simply gorgeous. Keeping dropping that flyness. 😏

love the jumpsuit . what brand is it?

Does the top you’re wearing in the beginning of the video have a brand label/tag on it? I saw you thrifted it, but I would love to find out where it’s from bc I love ittt

the top u are wearing is dope!

I am so tempted to shop right now. Fall is that season for me where I want everything new I see. And I have been watching haul videos to justify my impulse. This is the wake up call the universe sent my way.

all outfits are gordeuse)))

Please tell us how to thrift high quality pieces! I always feel so lost buying second hand

I remember when you thrifted that black jumpsuit... I as a bit jealous 😄

I seriously love your wardrobe 😍 thank you so much for putting out these sustainability videos! This is probably such a weird question, but where did you get your wooden hangers? Haha

which thrift stores do u go to? my local goodwill doesn't have hand knit sweaters LOL

Pleas do A video About your hair (how you take care of iT)😻bc iT looks sooo healthy and Nice

Do you thrift in actual stores mostly or more from online thrift sites ( If so, which ones?)

I would love to hear your thoughts on supporting brands/labels/independent designers transitioning from fast to slow/sustainable fashion!!! :-) lovely video as usual 💓

This video has made me want to go thrifting for my fall must haves

Hi - new here :) did you mention where the turtlenecks were from?

I'm glad I found your channel. I love all your pieces but especially that license plate blouse. I collect license plates so of course I adore that blouse. I also really love that bomber jacket. Do you live in Toronto? I used to live in Toronto but moved to Mississauga and now Brampton. What thrift stores do you shop at? I also like how you have tips about what to thrift for. Great tips and great video.

Hello dear! Do you have a thred up account, Poshmark, second-hand account where you are selling your thrifted pieces when you declutter?? I love all of your pieces that I have seen!

any recommendations on where to get sustainable boots, both cute fall booties and heavy winter boots? (asking as a canadian who needs to trudge thru snow; also if they need to ship then needs to ship to canada)

Can you talk about ethical and sustainable beauty brands in another video? I'm not sure if you wear makeup though haha. Love this video btw! Very informative

Do you ever thrift online? Also, where do you find carries the best items?

I loved this video! I was wondering how you are navigating thrifting with the pandemic? Can you still try things on at the thrift store?

okay do you know the brand of the blue blouse?

I would be I treated in a how to thrift high end items...I would especially appreciate if you talk about the pricing of these items...I am on long term disability and I cannot afford to purchase items in thrift stores in my city anymore. All the independently owned ones call everything in the store 'vintage' and that's partly why they claim the costs are so high. I do understand to some degree that the items are more curated so I get that a top might not be the same as at Value Village ($12 or less) However, I do find it frustrating when every top in the entire store is $40 and up. Don't even get me started on sweaters...if a sweater is even remotely nice then it is going to be close to $80 and I e seen sweaters in second hand stores that are $200. And they are not vintage. Can you help me understand why 'brand names/ designer labels' still mean anything at all in a second hand/ thrift or vintage store...they are items that people did not want, people are getting rid of, they have been worn and used by others already, and if they are not so,d they will end up in land fill ...so they are literally garbage. Just one step before being trash. I also understand that it is a bus and hey need to pay employees and keep the lights on. I'm all for that. But I would think for that reason, some money, any money would be better than no money. So when a purse was priced at $85 because it is 'designer' the marked down after time to $65 and then the date is where there is no more mark down...then it will be donated to some charity where it may or may not be purchased ( highly unlikely at that point so then off to landfill it goes...but there I am someone who is willing to pay something for it ...say thirty dollars. But they won't sell it to me. They would rather it go to landfill...I just don't understand. And it is not just one store this same scenario has happened at every store. And even at Value Village I was purchase two different pairs of jeans and one was twelve dollars ...reasonable, but the other pair were twenty seven dollars , before tax, and when I asked why they said because they are some brand name....They are in Value Village. They were donated and if not sold they will be garbage...so what difference does a brand name make..none...the whole point of any type of second hand is the concept of one person's trash is another person's treasure...it's all equally trash when it's in a second hand store , designer or not, until someone buys it. Although I care too much for the environment to completely give up on buying second hand there are so many issues , price, being a big one, that so many second hand thrift stores are driving people to go buy fast fashion. I can find clothes much cheaper and often better quality , which isn't saying much, from fast fashion stores. I literally saw a dress in Joe Fresh for nineteen dollars and a few days later saw the exact same dress in a thrift store for thirty dollars. I hope you discuss many of these accessibility, greed, business, pricing issues in future videos. Also, thrifting in smaller cities , like me, is so much different than in larger centres. The items you purchased in this video could not be found in a thrift store in my city no matter how long I waited. And if by chance it was there I could not afford it. Those sweaters , chunky ones, in our thrift stores would be fifty to sixty dollars plus tax at least. The cashmere without huge holes would be in the hundreds. I would be curious to know what you spent on your various items. Thank you for providing a place for me to vent my frustration with second hand shopping.

God I love thrifting so much but sadly in my country there’re so little thrift shops, it’s really nerve racking. Traveling 40miles every time I’m looking for something they might now even have due to the small shops, is just really not worth it.

Lol I’m Asian too and I had a phase with gray and I also came to the conclusion that gray does not suit my skin tone 😂

Can you tell me What plant is that next to the rack?

Please don’t hang your sweaters ! It’s damaging to them as the hang out (because of the weight )over time. Laying them flat is better :)
