- In this video I went thrifting to find some pieces for my dream fall capsule wardrobe! I've really been feeling inflation and the rising cost of things like groceries and clothes so I thought that thrifting would be a great way to save some money. I talk about my inspiration for my fall capsule wardrobe and then hit up 4 thrift shops to try to find some new to me items. Let's see how it goes!

Are you feeling inflation where you live? How has that affected your shopping habits?
I am being very strategic.
@@faqu529 I would love to hear your strategies!
Inflation in Canada is crazy! We are paying extreme housing costs (mortgage rates, rent rates), food & gas prices. It’s getting very unaffordable for families. We always meal plan & buy what’s on sale. Look for cheaper internet & utilities ect. I buy all kids clothes from Walmart & secondhand stores and we just watch our money. I do love thrifting. I have 2 wonderful stores within 15 minutes. One place is so cheap $1 clothing pieces for kids. The other one is bigger and has a large selection of all kinds of household, clothing ect. I think no matter what your financial situation is it’s always important to budget and watch your money. Live within your meals - minimal. Not try to impress people. I absolutely love your channel and all of your tips & suggestions. You seem so humble and down to earth! I often look back on your videos for outfits to recreate! 😊 keep doing what your doing!
Thanks Candice! I have the same mentality as you, budgeting and living within our means and not using credit cards. It's a great way to live in my opinion! 🥰
During several periods of life my family has lived significantly below the poverty line. Thrift stores allowed my family to have clothes. They are hit and miss and I tend to feel overwhelmed by the clutter. My trick is to take a friend who loves thrifting. She can sort through the stuff and find the gem we're looking for. And yes, we're seeing the inflationary impact on our budget.
That’s such a great idea to bring someone with you 😅
The shacket is AWESOME, what a great find! Your style and sensibilities are sooooo relatable! I love seeing more of your house and yard!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Thank you for putting out this kind of content. I feel like there is so much unattainable content on RUclips - so thanks for being a breath of fresh air! Love the pieces you bought!
I appreciate that, thanks! 🥰
Excellent thrifting! It’s interesting to see the big stores you have in the US. Here in the UK, charity shops are a lot smaller and there are generally loads in town centres since they don’t have to pay rent, given their charity status. I buy 90% of my clothes secondhand. It’s more sustainable, it’s cheaper, and it allows me to buy good quality clothes from expensive brands for a fraction of the price, whilst also not wearing the same clothes as everyone else ( who was bought their ‘this season’ wardrobe from high street shops. What is not to love! I love your burgundy coat and the shacket- great choices! Thank you for excellent content
Thank you! and wow, living in the UK sounds so interesting and exciting! 😊😊
Val, I absolutely love the two pieces you ended up purchasing....burgundy/wine is really your color! I find it so amazing that certain colors can do so much to make us look and feel better. My coloring is very similar to yours, and I've always been drawn to burgundy and wine colors.... every time I wear something in one of those colors, I get quite a lot of compliments.😊
You know I really liked this color before I restarted my wardrobe, I had a burgundy sweater for a while that I loved. It got worn out so I decluttered it and then was focusing on a lot of neutral colors.
But now feels like the perfect time to add the color back in! 🥰
I just recently started thrifting clothes for myself and was able to find a half zip ribbed sweater, flannel shirt, and shacket in the men’s section for $5 each! All things I wanted and was looking at buying new, so happy to add them to my fall/winter wardrobe.
Those sound like really great finds!! 😍
Yes Val, let's be moody together! Jewel tones with black, grey, and navy 👍 I've been feeling the thrift itch recently. I think I'll step out and see what my local thrift stores have to offer. Thanks for another great video!
Ha yes, let's be moody together! 😅😎
I thrift all the time and have for years. I think you were very successful. I like that I can find brands and vintage that I couldn't otherwise afford or want to spend a lot of money on.
I agree, and everything is one of a kind! 😁
The burgundy coat looks really great on you. The Color makes your face shine :))
Thank you so much! 😁
Ohhhh I love your shacket so much! Burgundy looks so good on you! I've been checking out ones from local stores but I need to check out our thrift stores!
Yes you totally should!! 🥰
Omg I want to find a warm shacket like that!
I'd recommend looking at your local thrift stores! There's so many good things out there to find 😁😁
Loving the Shacket!!!
Thanks!!
I love that burgundy coat, such a great find! I also have years where I just wear everything in my closet that's weather-appropriate and years where I just want to dress in more seasonal colors and patterns. I usually still include all weather-appropriate items in my capsules so my spring and fall capsules look very similar, but I don't always gravitate towards the same pieces both seasons.
That's so interesting that we both feel that way, our wardrobes sound very similar! 😊
I get overwhelmed when I go thrifting! It's just so much stuff and so chaotic! I end up not going as frequently as I would like. I also don't have many thrift stores near me, so can't really shop around. Glad you found at least some of the things you were looking for!
I agree it can be really overwhelming 😅 but I find when I stick to my list and only look for those items it makes it a little easier
Do you have any online thrift shops? Much easier to narrow choices and find what you want. :)
I live in Northern California, so I have also just been having a capsule for fall/winter and packing away my warm weather items. I really like the idea of having more nuance, and enjoying those fall vibes. I went thrifting with a plaid shirt in mind. And while I left empty handed, I still had fun and felt good about attempting to shop second hand. I love the plaid shacket and burgundy fleecy coat you bought. Great finds! Thanks for another helpful and enjoyable video.
Thanks Shannon! And yeah I also just find it enjoyable to browse even if I don't end up buying anything 😁
Even our thrift stores have gone up in price like it's obscene. I'm really considering a no-buy right now because I can't afford to live lol
Burgundy looks fab on you! 💚
yeah I definitely noticed the thrift store prices going up too! 😭
It's nice to see a thrift video that doesn't have a huge haul at the end. I appreciate that you practice what you preach, because I can imagine there's some pressure as a content creator to have big and frequent hauls
Yeah I did have a thought like, "Is this going to be interesting enough with only two items.." but didn't want to buy stuff I didn't really want 😅
Inflation has been unreal. A friend of mine who works as a manager in produce section of a grocery store was telling me that they have to swap out price tags every week for a $.30-$.50 increase. Every week. For weeks. This is happening with everything and it’s truly devastating people.
I love your realistic, attainable, and honest look at fashion and shopping. Your videos are so grounding for me in a place for of the excitement of consumption.
Some thing I have recently discovered through the spring, summer, and early fall is that I really love mild to moderate Lee feminine style for myself. The “because” is what I discovered. My body shape is a bit masculine with the exception of a defined waist, because I am rather muscular. I lift weights and have a more athletic build. I really like the look of a more masculine style but find that any time I wear this style without feminine elements, I end up feeling very bulky and mannish. So instead, I am now pulling out my things I put in quarantine, all the pieces that I consider more feminine and figuring out ways to pair those with my more simple style items for a nice balance. Thrift shopping has been a real treat in times like these to find clothing for me and my family on a reasonable price line. I live in North Idaho where we have a massive amount of growth happening which means the thrift stores are full, full of goodies.
That's so cool that you figured that out for yourself, and good thing you didn't declutter all your feminine items! 😅 And that's so insane about the grocery store prices 😭😭
Thank you for this really interesting video. My eyes were opened to the amazing finds you can get in charity shops when I started volunteering in one 5 years ago. Like many people, I used to be guilty of being a bit snooty about shopping second hand but, as you say, if you are disciplined and know what you like and what will be right for your wardrobe, you can find some really good bargains while participating in recycling and supporting a good cause. I also love shopping secondhand because the items can be a little more individual than the fast fashion uniform you find on the high street. I loved the shacket you bought; it really suits you.
Yes I agree, there's so much unique stuff to find out there! And it makes your wardrobe so much more interesting 😁
I really enjoy and appreciate that you filmed your experience, thank you! I thrift like you, where I will go to the specific section I am looking for items and go through all the sizes. I’ve had people actually notice and comment I am a good shopper this way. I am known at our local thrift stores… And I’ve actually had employees point out things that I think I might be looking for! I really enjoy some vintage pieces which often run very small so this is another reason why I look in the larger sizing. I went to a thrift store recently over in Washington and was completely overwhelmed by the quantity of items and lack of organization, that was a complete bust too! I’ve been to this second thrift store you pictured 😉
I love too that you went out without makeup, you’re so beautiful!
Wow you've been to that store too?? that's pretty cool 😊
And thank you for the compliment, I don't wear makeup that often and have just gotten used to how I look natural, its been nice 🥰
Great tips and love this style of video!
Thanks Nicole! 🥰
Omg what a great video your content is getting so good great job...
Thank you so much!! 🥰
It’s so warm here where I am in Canada, still. I put away most of my summer stuff a few weeks too soon. 😮
wow still warm in October? I guess enjoy the warmth while you can! 😁😁
@@ValKovalchuk it’s 25•c that’s warm for me lol 😂
I think you are a very smart lady and beautiful too. Your videos are well organized and your content is truly great! 😃
Thank you so much! 🥰
Hi Val. The sound is very low mid-way through your video. I know this has happened before, but I really feel your sound quality is a bit on the low side. I think you also have a quiet voice, but it's more sound quality. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know Em, I'll try to make it a little louder from now on. Could have been also from me being outside and it not capturing as well 😅
the shacket is perfect!
Thanks!! 🥰
Loved this video and the messaging behind it! Also, the two pieces you found super fit your wardrobe, and it's great that you only ended up purchasing what you felt you'd really use, vs a bunch of extra things because it's sometimes a bummer to leave a thrift shop empty-handed.
Thank you so much Amanda!! 😁
Nice finds! You got 2 great pieces and they both look great on you.
Thanks Grace, I think so too! 🥰
This two new items suit you very well, you look very nice, great finds :)
Thank you so much 🙂
Love both of your finds!
Thanks Olivia! 😊
I would like to know the names of the thrift stores you accessed. We saw two names, one of which is Value Village so I'm assuming you are from Canada. You also mentioned another store but didn't give the name. If you're from Canada, in particular Ontario, you should try National Thrift. I tend to have a lot of success there.
I live in Washington state in the US! I went to two different Goodwill locations, Value Village and a consignment store 😊
Love your video !
И ещё я видела новый забор на бэкярд . Витя тоже молодец!
Thanks mom!
I have tried to thrift but because ‘everyone’ uses conventional scented ( toxic) laundry detergent, dryer sheets and/ or scent boosting beads now….I can no longer purchase thrifted items. I have to try to get the smell out which costs so much extra it makes the cost no longer affordable/ reasonable. I also have to be sure to wash all thrifted items separately from my new purchased clothes which have never been washed in scents and especially because I do have several items that are certified organic and o- tek certified so I am not going to risk making them smelly. It’s so frustrating.
Are you allergic to the laundry scents? I'm sorry it has been so hard to shop secondhand for you 😌
Realistic video
Thank you! 😁
Lol I work at one of those
Really? Ha, that's awesome! 😅
@@ValKovalchuk eh, the management is bad and the prices are going up. But I used to shop there before I worked there and im still there now, so eh. I find a lot of good stuff still.
This is EXACTLY what I want my fall wardrobe to be like! I live on a hobby farm and also am looking for more outdoor workwear pieces plus some more workout-type clothes for running, hiking and biking.
What are your most comfortable jeans for gardening? I struggle to find jeans that are comfortable to move in yet still durable...
I've been working either in my levis jeans or just leggings, but don't feel that great in them. That's why I really want to try a pair of high rise cargo work pants or overalls.. They seem so durable but comfortable! 🤔🤔
@@ValKovalchuk yes overalls are pretty good for gardening!
Do you wear your jeans for everyday around the house with your kids? I love your outfits with jeans but I struggle to find jeans that are comfortable for me to wear at home...
@@amandathompson7691 I do wear a couple of my jeans at home, the ones from old navy are pretty comfy and also the 90s cheeky from Everlane!
@@ValKovalchuk ok thank you!
