Yes

😊Historically, I've gotten incredibly overwhelmed😵‍💫 in stores like TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack. It's 💯×s worse in thrift stores w/endless packed racks jammed full of used, older goods. 🤏Slightly less stressed😳 in the former retail spaces bcos the air is fresh〰️& there's no nasty second-hand stigma haunting👻 me from my youth😂. 🤔Think my preconceived notions & negativity didn't serve my shopping success in either style venue. Influencers like 🇨🇦The Sorry Girls truly changed my perspective about thrifting. 🤓Earlier on they did these fashion challenges where they started w/a theme (date night, girls night, day outing, etc.) & also half a dozen related branded outfit inspo📷 from some super hip retail store. They each had to pick 3 full looks from the thrift store & fans would vote. Their success in these exercises was rather mind-blowing🤯. Whether it was a matter of manifestation, a positive attitude, faith, or simple perseverance & competitiveness 〰️their results mimicking mod high-end brands was truly impressive🎉. I'm thrilled Trinny & others make it 🆒️ to shop second hand. You can find some high quality pieces at thrift stores & estate sales for much more reasonable prices. 😉It's just better if you go in w/a game plan or being completely confident about your personal style & wardrobe needs.

Ja, it’s kind of sad going to big department stores and see how they are in declined …people buy more and more online …many times poor quality clothes that last 2 washes .. 😮

🎉Find Trinny is a treasure trove of inspiration🎉. Her maximalist collection is museum worthy. She certainly leads a much more ✨️glamorous, formal, & high-profile life✨️ than myself. Adore her love❤ of fashion. Her self-awareness, knowledge about designers, brands, experience working w/body shapes & challenges, great understanding of visual rules, fashion history, & much more. Her enthusiasm removes any stigma or vanity associated w/delighting in such things. Her passion❤️‍🔥 for fashion is spirited & exuberant. She's doesn't do it to show off. She does it for sheer joy. We're blessed she shares all these fascinating things w/other like-minded souls. 🤓Greatly admire how she mixes low-end & high-end gear to achieve her amazing signature looks; how she strictly adheres to certain rules, while being completely rebellious & original about others; how she seeks out sales to get max 🐔 cluck-for-her-buck like most of us; how she promotes vintage & gently used garments... ...How she cleverly uses her skill in style to evoke the best & most ⚡️powerful sense of herself (& others); how candid she is w/her fails & fixes; and lastly how committed she is to 💪empowering & inspiring others to get their style on. 🧐She's not looking to make mini-me's. She simply wants to stoke the fire🔥 for style creativity, & experimentation as well as intentional & ageless dressing. 🤔With all fashion influencers, think it's our job to take any 💫 gold nuggets that hold meaning & value for us while letting the rest go by the way side. Cheers! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

I don’t have her body type but I appreciate how well she dresses for hers, she has worked in fashion all her life so she shops for us as well as herself and she has a hugely successful makeup brand so she can do whatever she wants with her money, I can’t shop like this but I can enjoy it vicariously xx

Vince has been available in the UK for years - pretty much all the London Dept stores stock it and they also have their own standalone stores.

@@sw6325 yes. The comment was specific to the comment regarding 'florals'.

COS

I wear them open but with a belt

@lilithowl yap this is truly help but some of them belts just don't work with them . I thought there is kind of spray that make the fabric like silk so it won't gather and stay down smoothly. Thanks a lot for your help 🙏 😊

😊Back in the 90s, they sold these 2.5-3" elastic pieces (or remnants) w/gold or silver clips sewed on each end. You could leave the elastic plain, pin on a brooch or silk flower, or even cover it w/scrap fabric (like a scrunchie) to coordinate w/your clothes. The metal clips had white padded grips, so they would hold w/o harming any fabric. They were designed to cleverly corral (or ruche) any extra volume of your garment in the back & out of the way. 🤓The same principle applies w/a trench coat that has belt loops where you tie the matching sash🎀 in the rear to minimize the volume in front. 🧐If your shirt dress has a straighter silhouette, you could also use a lightweight metal bracelet bangle & elastic hairband at the center back to ruche or gather some of that excess fabric. The idea is that you'd put the bangle on the right side of the garment while twisting the fabric on the wrong side, & securing it in place there w/the elastic band. The bangle will be on the inside. 😉 Still have a few elastic clips I use today. Am an hourglass & they work great on blazers to give waist definition while reducing the bulk in front. Don't know if anyone sells these things today, but that wouldn't surprise me on Amazon. Also seems basic & like something anyone could easily 🪡DIY by hand. Only used the 2nd Style Hack in a rayon tank style dress that's now too big for me after losing weight. Actually love the 🏝tropical pattern & soft fabric. This trick is great for more straight silhouette. Except I used a small jar lid & reversed the process to create an interesting ruched 3D design on the front right side. 🍀Good luck 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

@teresacarle294 Thanks a lot 🙏
