I promise u, the ones that “find” a bunch of designer things in good condition in one store are LYIIINGGGG !! Its always the same creators finding crazy stuff, it has to be fake 😔😔
There are NO original clothes in thrifts shops. Gucci, Balenciaga, Lv, if you "find" is totaly fake and overpriced. I can't remember which LV or Gucci , but if they don't sell the stock they destroy it, they don't sell or throw it.
@@SuitedSkaterLion There are real luxury items in thrift shops that are donated by people rather than the company. When my grandmother passed away most of her clothes, including luxury items, were donated because either they didn't fit properly other family members or they weren't in style.
I can’t say if tiktok “ruined” thrifting but I can say what was once an affordable avenue for those who couldn’t afford department store clothing, has now become expensive thanks to it becoming a trend on social media. The amount of thrift stores I’ve seen that charge way too much for an item of clothing from a decade ago is insane, but it’s because they know those Kmart jeans from 2005 are a hot “vintage” item for folks to flaunt on TikTok.
think inflation and the cost of living crisis has affected costs more - thrift stores have always been to make profit not give struggling people cheap clothing options
which is even more hateful considering the only reason they exist is because of people donating stuff for FREE. So to then upcharge the clothing 800% is disgusting.@@romaeraegan
I am DYING to see more thrift flips so thrift flip away! I loved your vision for the flips in this video, it inspires me to look at my clothes a lil differently
I love how intentional you are about thrifting, rather than just blindly grabbing anything vaguely interesting! Also I'm soooo excited about the mentioned shojo manga and upcoming Kpop video!!!
You said that you could see that jersey top that you got being sold on Jaded London or Urban Outfitters and that funny because that brand BDG, is actually an UO exclusive so you’re spot on 😂
I just quickly wanted to say that I love love love your videos. Ive been watching you for a long time and you helped me so much on my fashion journey!! Much love from switzerland🩷🩷
@@bltotrs92 haha grüezi! True thrifting is a bit hard. Usually what i do is I go with an open mind and if something isnt perfect I usually upcycle it. (For example hem pants or sew on a button). Sometimes I thrift things to completly upsicle them! There some cool thriftstores in the bigger cities! Hope I could help 🥰🩷
Got recommended your video, you're style is very cute! It's so funny, I remember complaining in like the 2000s that thrift stores were ruined by eBay. Prices went up, and it took more time to find gems. I was really nervous about altering clothes, but that saved thrifting for me. I love your alterations to your finds, like that bubble skirt!
so inspired to go thrifting in my city! i usually get disappointed quickly because i can't find much cute stuff immediately but hearing that you went to 15 stores to get this collection definitely helps put things into perspective :D
I'm loving the thrift flip! Please show us when you hand sew your flips! I don't have room in my house for a sewing machine and I'd like to see you in action
Sometimes I see the clothes you buy and don’t like them until you style them with other clothes because you look like a manga character and it’s inspiring
YESSS THRIFT FLIPS ARE MY FAVORITE 😍 the bubble hem skirt is so cute! Also diy-stuff would be a perfect trend in the midst of economic depression causing most ppl financial hardship but also the perfect way to go against the over consumption culture that's all over social media in this late stage capitalism hellscape lol Edit. Omg the red top is also incredibly adorable ❤
Loved the vid, everything is so cuute My thinking on whether to alter the midi skirt or not: I feel like you should give it some time and see if ur actually reaching for it, or do you prefer the other two midi skirts. If you keep wearing it in this length and like it, then leave it as it is! And if you don't really wear it as much as the other skirts, turn it into a cute mini
i live around brisbane area, there's some really amazing op shops around browns plains you should check out! I always walk away with at least one piece, pretty good prices too 💕
Also Stones Corner and Mt Gravatt are good bc you can go to 10 on the same street! Katie should organise a bris meet up/thrift day/clothing swap, that would be so fun omg
Yaaayy, my fashion icon! Loved the bubble hem skirt omgg so cutee ♡ today I was feeling really down but now I feel a lot better, at this point your videos are my comfort show ♡ thank youu Katiee, love you ♡
this is the best thrift shop haul ive seen in a while thats not just buying everything just to consume you can really tell these pieces were handpicked also the thrift flips were awesome!!!
i love this!! the vibes are great and i really appreciate you putting more thought into what you buy and how youre gonna wear it etc!!! i looove the mini camo skirt and black tule skirt most, but the bubble hem thrift flip was a very very close second!!!
please post your thrift flips and alterations i neeeedd some sewing inspo with your style!!!!! and majority of sewing tutorials and on youtube just arent my style
Katie, I love your videos SO much!! You're one of the few ppl I've found here whose style I adore, and the closest to my own personal taste in clothing. Thank you for being you and sharing your love and passions with us all over the years! ☺
Thankyou so much for visiting memory lane!! Im a stockist there and it means so much to us as small businesses to be featured! Your styling is spot on girl 🥰😘
i just discovered your content and i'm OBSESSED! your channel really inspires me to get into fashion a bit more and i can't wait to go thrifting with your looks in mind!!
such an incredible haul omgg, the bubble hem miniskirt turned out so perfect!! i was in brisbane last summer to visit family but i also wish i went to more op shops and vintage stores when i was there!! will have to note down your favs for next time
I loooove watching how you style pieces! Our styles couldn't be more different (minimalist-goth here), but I truly love looking at the early 2000's-Kera-Decora-j-fashion looks you put together. My favourite piece and outfit would have to be the one with the yellow and pink stripey shirt.
The skirt at 8:00 is so cute please leave as is! since the other two similar skirts u showed both have a ruffle hem, I would alter one of those instead!!
Thrifting has definitely gotten worse at least for me since it blew up on tiktok and social media. Much more rare to find anything good and it’s like 3x the price compared to 4+ years ago thrifting. I got lucky yesterday and found an adidas jacket I wanted for years but it’s the only thing I’ve ever found at that very large thrift store in the past 2 years that was worth buying
With the denim skirt, I'd say slits on the side would make it a bit different from your other skirts while keeping the length! Not sure if its your thing but I think it could look super cute
also! I've been meaning to ask for ages but what is the Fruits Basket box behind you and where did you find it? Its so hard finding anything Fruits Basket in Australia :,))
There are really few thrift stores in my small Swedish town, but I really have noticed the prices going up even here. Might check them out when I'm in town tomorrow though. Feeling inspired!😊
Not sure if you can get in your area, but there’s a product called Retro Clean cleaning solution that’s specifically for age stains. Could work for the beaded skirt!
Your uploads just make my day! I was wondering if you perhaps have a list of sources you use as inspiration e.g. IG accounts, specific brands, fashion publications etc. If that’s something you could perhaps make a video on, that would be truly wonderful and appreciated. All good if that’s not quite something for a video idea! Just truly inspired by your style and wanting to learn more. 💖
I'm super lucky that here in Ballarat, VIC the prices are for the most part still very reasonable! I guess being in a regional area means we aren't inundated with the depop resellers. It's still hard to come by real gems, but I still find lots of good things and pretty much buy all my clothes from op shops! I love all of your thrift flips - very inspiring!
You should definitely keep the denim midi skirt as is, I feel like as a mini it just doesn’t have enough of an impact of its cool wash design. And also for the plaid pastel, you could put a small graphic on the front pocket, like a little sailor moon face or something cute. Also, the watercolor top outfit is so good, you looked like a magical girl the way you styled it.
For the jean skirt you were wondering whether to thrift flip, I think you should do it! I've had a bunch of items like that where I keep them forever because I feel like they're cute and I should like them, but I always end up choosing something else and giving them away eventually! I think if you're not choosing it over other similar things, flip it and see if you like it better!
Memory lane has some amazing stuff! But I highly recommend brikmarket!! They have a lot more feminine clothing stalls. Although I didn't end up buying anything I was in love with all the clothes in there. There is also another one on the same strip as brik in Westend I just can't quite remember the name but it was also really good. There's also some vintage markets on in Albion Sunday 31st that I recommend checking out. I went to the last one and got 2 really cute items that I now wear all the time. Hope this helps!
Last time I went to Vinnies, I was shocked at the prices of everything! They were all like $13-$20 and I remembered it being way lower than that. Glad you can still find some things under $10. Also! I don’t have TikTok but I use RUclips shorts a lot so I’d be watching your videos if you post them here!
Ahh this is such a great video, Katie! If you're still located in bris, 'do-op shop' in morningside (i think there's one in annerly too!) has some really cute stuff, ive found. They're also a locally funded charity and aren't big corporation/religiously associated :)
I do watch RUclips shorts and ig reels as well! - i didn't want to download another social media when tiktok came out, and it kinda stuck like that. And based on recent news, plenty of US are about to be the same way w tiktok!😅
okay so here's my ramble reply: that beaded skirt i think is blank in the back so you don't damage it by whatever surface you're sitting on. it looks good half and half for pics maybe but keep that in mind since the beading is so delicate! also did i hear upcoming kpop video?! i'm so ready! that red top you altered turned out beautifully and can't wait to see more! as for the shopping snippets, i don't have tiktok but i don't like youtube shorts either...i'm pretty much only on instagram. but i like how you added some clips in this video! and as always i loved seeing how you styled everything. that last camo skirt was so bratz! so many cute fits!
your DIYs look amazing BUT I gotta vote to leave that midi skirt as is!! It's an unusual piece and while it would make a cute mini, it would lose some of it's more rare appeal. Great video as always!
I promise u, the ones that “find” a bunch of designer things in good condition in one store are LYIIINGGGG !! Its always the same creators finding crazy stuff, it has to be fake 😔😔
Idk maybe their videos are fake but Ive found many designer items thrifting I’ve found multiple coach bags, a vintage dior corset, etc 🤷🏼♀️
You need to go to where the rich people live.
There are NO original clothes in thrifts shops. Gucci, Balenciaga, Lv, if you "find" is totaly fake and overpriced. I can't remember which LV or Gucci , but if they don't sell the stock they destroy it, they don't sell or throw it.
The question is if these designer items are actually real
@@SuitedSkaterLion There are real luxury items in thrift shops that are donated by people rather than the company. When my grandmother passed away most of her clothes, including luxury items, were donated because either they didn't fit properly other family members or they weren't in style.
That bubble hem was too good omg, jaw is on the floor, bring back thrift flips they're so fun
Yes! And the red shirt flip was ridiculously successful too!!

oh my god that outfit with the slip dress is STUNNING!! my jaw dropped it's actually incredible, that cream skirt underneath is so perfect
stoppp that bubble hem flip is SO CUTEE!!!
I'm not on tiktok so I do watch the youtube shorts sometimes!
Me too!
I am DYING to see more thrift flips so thrift flip away! I loved your vision for the flips in this video, it inspires me to look at my clothes a lil differently
I second this! I love her diys!
I love how intentional you are about thrifting, rather than just blindly grabbing anything vaguely interesting! Also I'm soooo excited about the mentioned shojo manga and upcoming Kpop video!!!
That watercolour top really suits you !!
You said that you could see that jersey top that you got being sold on Jaded London or Urban Outfitters and that funny because that brand BDG, is actually an UO exclusive so you’re spot on 😂
A-line midi skirt representation! Such a flattering classic shape.
I'd love to see you style more ❤
Leave the greentone denim skirt as is, although I love DIYs it's so cute as is!
I just quickly wanted to say that I love love love your videos. Ive been watching you for a long time and you helped me so much on my fashion journey!!
Much love from switzerland🩷🩷
Gruezi! here also from switzerland :D thrifting here is hard! U have some tipps?
@@bltotrs92 haha grüezi! True thrifting is a bit hard. Usually what i do is I go with an open mind and if something isnt perfect I usually upcycle it. (For example hem pants or sew on a button).

the bubble hem thrift flip is one of the coolest things i've ever seen i am gagged
The jersey shirt is urban outfitters BDG is their brand
OMG I'm really excited for the future kpop video there has been so much good styling recently!!!!!!!!
I think for the DIY options, leave the denim skirt as is, but customise the pastel button up
Yes! Post the RUclips shorts! We’ll like them, plus I’ve heard the algorithm likes when creators do that 👍
so inspired to go thrifting in my city! i usually get disappointed quickly because i can't find much cute stuff immediately but hearing that you went to 15 stores to get this collection definitely helps put things into perspective :D

insane pieces!!!
Thankyou so much for visiting memory lane!! Im a stockist there and it means so much to us as small businesses to be featured! Your styling is spot on girl 🥰😘
LOVE THE LACE DRESS
You styling is sooo good in this video, you really are one of the most stylish people on yt and a big inspiration for me to be even more creative
i just discovered your content and i'm OBSESSED! your channel really inspires me to get into fashion a bit more and i can't wait to go thrifting with your looks in mind!!

i love the shirt you’re wearing in this video, those cats look so comforting. also, i watch yt stories coz i don’t have tiktok!
I would watch your RUclips shorts ! I have your notifs on for a reason ❤

ohh the bossini brand is from hong kong! it's usually a very budget friendly basics brand, their clothes are usually 10-40 aud ❤
Wow!! I'm so earlyyyy. I loveeee your videosss
Bossini is really good quality ! It was the equivalent of cotton on (but better quality) in Hong Kong in the mid 2000s
You're so talented!
Yeeeees new vid!! ❤

turn the skirt into one of the pleated mini skirts you see on pinterest!! The colors and raised seams would go it perfect with the 13 jersey too!
