That's so cool that the Polo dress has the QR code!! Its almost like they anticipate their items will end up in thrift stores eventually (we love a sustainable mission!) but respect a thrift shopper's excitement for finding a designer piece. I'd love it if more brands did this -- it's such a thrill to know what a deal you're getting when you can see the original retail price and its cool to see what era a piece of clothing is from. Gives it a little more history/backstory!
okay I’ve seen videos titled “insane thrift haul!!” “my best haul yet!!!!” But damn girl you weren’t kidding!!! Everything here bangs!!!! Congrats on such incredible finds!
The little ashtrays were from the days when ladies would meet to play bridge at a friend's house. Each person at the card table had their own little ashtray. This is also why the ashtrays were often shaped like a heart, club, diamond, and spade.
I thought the swan item was for those little dishes for people to put their tea bags on if they want to remove them from their cup. I see them on the centre of the kitchen table with milk and sugar usually.
@@michaeladicksonAs an Etsy seller I can say that a lot of people selling on Etsy are just guessing at what things are. I think that it is for teabags because there are no bends in the trays for holding a cigarette.
that black dress is stunning on you!! I think those cute pleats do a good job of flattening out the front so it doesn't balloon out in a pregnant type of way!!
Zote soap bar, baking soda, scrub and soak with kettle hot water for will get the stain out.I keep my whites immaculate and people always ask me how, this is my method. You have to strip the stain out of the fabric.
Wow I loved everything you picked up! I'm glad you finally got the mini Coach bag, I think you've mentioned you wanted that one. And that Kelly green color on the raincoat looks so good on you!
I am a WI girl as well and thrifted a pair of Bass Weejuns with the tassel..worn enough to be broken in and that’s all. I tend to find them from time to time. I am dying for a pair of their Mary Jane’s, though, with the lugsole! Great haul. WI does have amazing thrifting and it’s CHEAP but you have to know where to look.
So many great finds. Standouts for me are the denim jacket, burgundy belt and RL white dress. Navy and burgundy are my favorite combo in fall/winter. Look forward to styling video.
I love unicorns. Plenty of pictures of unicorns around but harder to find other items that are unicorns. I even have a great book that I got at a book sale in a library called, "The Last Unicorn." Wonderful little book that I still have.
I loooove the tyrolean jumper and the sailor uniform! My mum actually pretty much did the same with my dad's sailor uniform when they started going out. She even put in lining because it's super itchy; and 2 buttons (with anchors, duh) and you close it by looping a ribbon around the buttons. Now I get to wear it. 😁
Love seeing the thrifting!! I have been looking for a black (Zara dress ) all summer!! Your dress is perfect!! Congratulations on the cool stuff! I can't find one to save my life !
I hate anything to do with hiking or camping but like the shoes you bought. Never was the outdoorsy type. I mean, I can stay in a nice lodge near the woods but not outside the lodge. 😊 Like the things you bought. I have a hard time to find shoes like you found. My size is Size 5 1/2. Can wear Size 6 if I wear thick socks.
Bass Weeguns! What a blast from the past! They were what the rich kids were wearing when I was a kid and I lusted after them! I literally gasped when they entered the frame
I really liked the finger tips fabric comment.. funny.. Amazon haul.. very inspiring. Loved that green jacket. . It is my in the exact color of green that I am loooooving lately.
Your style is unmatched, so stunning! I say this with so much respect but plus sizes thrifters have limited choices as is so buying 'oversized' is actually limiting our choices further. Just something to consider and hopefully remind your subscribers of in the future x
I totally understand this!! The thing with the bins is if no one buys it, it gets thrown away 😵💫 which breaks my heart! If I find it doesn’t work for me, it goes up on my poshmark for cheap!
@@michaeladickson thank you for your reply and explaining further. I'm from Scotland, we don't have bins but it sounds like it's the same as our fabric banks - devastating how much ends up in landfill from there. I can completely understand your reasoning and apologies if you explained any of this before!!
Omg no need for apologies! It’s an important thing for people to consider! Especially with unique plus size vintage, it’s good to see vintage accessible to more people. Vintage forever!!! 💖🫶🏻
I had those exact Bass Weejuns loafers in high school. Tenth grade, I think. In the 80's. I'm so jealous, I'd love another pair! My old lady animal is cats. I only have 1 actual cat, but I have several thrifted decor cats.
Now that you found that great 30's or 40's polka dot dress you have to wear the bright red lipstick the women wore in those days. Think Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield or any actresses from those years, etc. with very thick applied lipstick.
We had one of those swan dishes at my passed grandmother's house. We ALL dont know what it is for 😅 unfortunately we cant ask her anymore but with reverse google search we cane to the conclusion of salt or sugar holders (hers were much smaller)
Zara, Mango and other Spanish brands used to be good quality in the beginnings (late 90's) but the Chinese fast fashion happened and... Now it's only garbage most of it
Why not just leave the sailor top to someone who can fit in it as is? It's unique and amazing. You talking about getting it tailored is breaking my heart honestly.
no you don’t understand, it has zero stretch it won’t fit anyone, maybe a toddler?? And it was at a bins outlet where everything is literally thrown away if it’s not picked up. These aren’t rare so I feel totally ok altering it in a way that it will be used and not collecting dust or ending up in a landfill
