That pretty little romper could be made to fit better by adding a strip of coordinating fabric at the top and/or bottom of the midriff band. You could add a strip of the same fabric as edging to the legs as well just to make the addition(s) seem original to the garment. Or use bands of cotton lace backed with fabric matching the lace color. There are lots of easy fixes for a too-short-in-the-crotch romper.
That pink pleated jumpsuit is gorgeous, I'm glad you said you were keeping it! The top on the romper fits really well, would it work if you kept it as like a body con suit and put shorts or a skirt on over the bottoms? I do that often with my dresses to get more outfits out of them lol
When I saw you in that velvet romper, my jaw dropped, what an amazing piece on you!!!!! And thank you for showing the pieces that don’t work as well! Love seeing both sides of thrifting, as I’ve been there too where I’ve taken a chance on items where there isn’t a change room.
Great explanation about how some clothes fit or feel. With you sewing skills, you can alter some of the clothes to fit better? Groetjes from The Netherlands, Ineke
Both! I got some online, some from large thrift stores, and the jumpsuit from a consignment boutiques. I don't really have a favorite, it more so depends on what item I'm looking for.
Fun! I’m a larger girl too and thrusting can be challenging. I love the romper but I have the same issues with length. Could you change it into a blouse/tunic maybe?
The jumpsuit looks amazing on you! I hope you keep it. It's one of those pieces that maybe won't get a ton of wear but when it's the right occasion, it's just so unique and fun.
Thanks! Yeah I'm really hoping to have more occasions for it. I'm also thinking because of the velvet it might make a great holiday party outfit - so hopefully will get to wear it some more times this year
You have to keep that jumpsuit ! It looks absolutely amazing on you. I think you could dress it down with a denim jacket and sneakers Hope to see it again! Loved this video ❤❤❤
Your first piece, the silk tank, made me think of the asymmetrical trend with the way you tucked one side, given its length. I never thought of doing that kind of tuck! I’m going to try it with some of my longer tanks. I understand cute but unflattering! I find pieces that are so beautiful but end up being intolerably unflattering. I appreciate your candid thoughts about these pieces you picked up!
It would a great video idea ( in my opinion) 😂 to do a follow up video maybe yearly on what you have kept, modified or redonated or even sold from this (or any hauls).
The jumpsuit you got for the event was such a great find! 😍I have totally given up on finding rompers and jumpsuits in stores, as I am tall with a long torso (and a bum in a different size to the rest of the body). I really need to hit the thrift stores too and find some new pieces.
I love the pink tank! I have a similar body shape to you and I love a cut like that that go waaay out in front.. I would love to be the friend you will gift it to 😂
Could you make the pink top into a dress for your daughter? I think it would look so cute on a child. With the back closed up of course
Such a great idea! I'm going to check right away if it'll work!
That pink top is a great color for you! You should definitely try finding another one in that shade👍👍

She could cut a piece of the belt straps (they look long enough) to add the exact same fabric to the bottom of the shorts
Absolutely keep the velvet romper! I think it will lend itself to fall events and holidays too
The red dress looks great on you but WOW, that jumpsuit! Incredible! What a fantastic find for you.

The pink color is great (not the cut) - you do look good in it.
Wow, that red dress on you....gorgeous!
Thank you!
When you thrifted these pieces, did you find most of these in-person or online? Do you have any favorite places for thrifting in-person?

@@MyGreenCloset Totally could see it for NYE, a holiday party, or a fun evening out.

Casually thrifting an Eileen Fisher top 💃🏼
Great videos. Love that knit tank. Question for you. Where do you online thrift? Thanks in advance.
Most of these pieces are from ThredUP, but I also use FB Marketplace and Poshmark

I love the silky jumpsuit. Smashing.
The pink blouse. What if you would sow a stretchy fabric in the opening to cover up that bare part? it looks super cute!

You did great, amazing finds 😊
I love that thrifting is a great way to try out an item for less money. If it doesn't work out it can just be donated back.
I love your videos. More please😉
Jee i missed you
That jumpsuit is fantastic! I just want to reach out and touch it.
