This was freakin' phenomenal!! I agree I would have bought her finds over the Zara version! And the way she styled them was so cute! Side note: I LOVE her hair!
Girl you killed this video. After watching some documentaries about what really goes on with the fashion industry and the sweatshops, I'm side eyeing everybody. I've never been a thrifter but you are definitely an inspiration. And on a side note, you have given me several ways to style white booties. Love it.
I haven’t bought jeans in DECADES from an actual store- ALL of mine are thrifted: already broken in, have character and the BEST PART?!? Vintage Baby! Wranglers, Lee, Levis, etc. I’m talkin MADE IN USA 🇺🇸, 100% cotton with Real Leather patch!
17:16 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Yes yes a video on what you do before you actually wear the thrifted pieces. I'm glad you pray on them cause I believe in energies as well!
Honestly a lot of the pieces you picked up were better than the Zara more expensive pieces. I always feel like when I go thrifting I can’t find anything but when I watch your videos I get inspired so I have to try again. I’m really excited for your video on how you clean your thrifted pieces. I’ve always been curious because I don’t want to ruin them if they’re really old.
What did she do? Honey, THAT and then some. Very great haul and your picks very so spot on it was exciting. I love savers and this made me want to make a trip.
Kia said she was going to do a cleaning video around the 17:25 mark. In the meantime, I suggest checking out BluePrintDIY’s channel for a similar video on sanitation. She’s a Black thrifter and DIYer based in Texas. 👌🏾
What she do?! She does the thang!!! Sis....ok, you just have the eye & the creativity to put outfits together beautifully! Rock on, wit ya bad self! Much Love and Respect! 🙏🏿💖🇨🇦👊🏿
I love that you are bringing so much more glamour to thrifting. Some people think buying used clothing is gross. But honestly I've found so many new with tags and barely used items at the thrift store for a teeny tiny fraction of retail. If you are paying full price for clothes all the time then you're just wasting money! Lol
loved this. I've been making the move toward sustainable fashion as well and have been thrifting!!! I'm so glad someone mentioned praying over thrifted clothes because best believe the Nigerian in me speaks in tongues as I add my thrifted clothes to my closet lol!!!
i just purchased a plaid jacket, similar to yours for the GW(good will) $3.00. I only shop at the thrift store, I ain't paying full price for nuffin' Love your style... cant wait for the next video!!
Literally everything you found is better than Zara's! Thrifting for life (especially considering the price range and the fact that by thrift shopping you're actually helping out the environment)!
I have been wanting to incorporate more thrifting into my wardrobe. But have been overwhelmed by the process. After viewing several videos on RUclips, your video; editing; wardrobe selection; style; and your personality......this has become my favorite instantly! Thank you for creating and posting!
I really loooooooove this video. Just shows how easy it is to be a sustainable consumer and find badass pieces of clothing at the same time. Just went thrifting yesterday and got myself an amazing, super high quality, woollen vintage winter coat for only 17 euros. Gotta love thrifting
This was SO SATISFYING to see the Zara items and prices VS your items and prices each time!! Amazing job at spotting the pieces and styling them! Very inspiring! Fast fashion is buried!
This is one of the best fall thrift hauls I've seen. All your choices are on point. My favorite is the fuzzy cardigan because as a plus size woman the Teddy coat is going to make me look like a teddybear so the cardigan is a great alternative.
Fabulous video, I look forward to seeing more. I’ve been thrifting for over 30 years now. I agree, why pay more for something you can find at thrift or vintage shops. I get a high from finding things at thrift stores, it’s a challenge for me. I still shop retail but I love my vintage shops more because you never know what treasure you’ll find.
I’ve been watching you for years and I still live for your thrifted look books. Seriously when I was going into adulthood and trying to curate my own style I took so much inspo from you and thrifted looks are my fav
Love your style. I do believe you have to be in a “certain” area to find these great finds! My local consignment shop has an abundance of kid costumes, vintage dishes and an overage of jeans 🙄🙄🙄 so send for Sis so we can shop together and I’ll be happy 😃
that "Versace" short sleeve blouse and raspberry corduroy jacket was my favorite items. i actually really want it. i need to go shopping for the longest of time
You are a Mood; a total breath of creativity, common sense, fly on point. Dayummm KIAAA! Your style is almost exactly me when I'm feeling urban chic... Thrift stores are awesome fashion from previous people who had bomb pieces but no creativity to style them-IMO.
Love the video, I'm a thrift store queen, I've gone through my own up trama and went shopping then got home, heal myself after laughing at what I did and took everything back to each store at a time. I hit the thrift store and wholly, molly I'm a new me. Love thrift'g .
I had to come back to this video because I found the EXACT SAME animal print blouse and I had to get it !! I’m excited because now I know how to style it thank you !!
Holy snap! I tried on that same snakeskin dress at Savers this weekend and was crying because it was way too small on me! The one I tried on did not have lining either. Love all of your styling
You have the prettiest face on the internet! Love the animal print silk blouse with the orange skirt. Corduroy pants were big in the 60's when I was a teenager. Yes, the scarf print shirt looks very Versace! Thank you for this educational video. You did an amazing job. It is appreciated. B
Young Lady your hair is EVERYTHING!😍😍😍😍😍 You are gorgeous and your style love it. This is the first video I have seen of yours. Can’t wait to see more. I been thrifting since I was a child. My grandmother taught me how. Thanks for bringing back great memories. Be blessed❤️🥰
this video was so cool..i definitely caught the inspiration bug watching this and went "shopping" in my existing closet to find similar zara pieces. I wish there was a way i could show you my pics. lol anyway great video! I loved this..and ended up back at the thrift store again today!! LOL
I love the idea of this video!! Usually I dont find thrift hauls that helpful because we cant find the same items but I love how you showed how to find trend-inspired pieces that give the same impression!!
Loving your Zara inspired finds. After your scarf demo I had to rethink donating my scarf. Thanks for the tips. Also, I purchased a similar oversized sweater from my local Goodwill for $1.79 (tag sell)! Shopping for fall items tomorrow at GW for the tag sell😘. Welcome back, you were missed
I mean.... I just feel like you’re my favorite cousin, I can’t wait to see at Thanksgiving!!! I stannnnn; I BINGE!!! You have totally inspired me, & set a style fire in me! God bless Miss KIA 💞
Wow...not only do I much prefer the items you tthrifted to the Zara ones which look kinda cheap-ass, but your styling ... OH THE STYLING!!!! I want to weep with joy, it’s so so on point, I just wouldn’t have thought how neon, tweed check and white boots could look soooo flyyyyyyy!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥💕💞❤️💕👘👡👡
The thrifted bits were better than zara's collection. Thrifting is life man. Love your vids x
Roena W I totally agree!! The side by sides prove it!
True I dont what the hype is about Zara
Like waaaaaay better...her leopard top and snakeskin pants out did Zara's!
yesssssss !!!! lmao #Reallythough.
This was freakin' phenomenal!! I agree I would have bought her finds over the Zara version! And the way she styled them was so cute!
Side note: I LOVE her hair!
Girl you need to post more. I look forward to your videos. Love your creativity.
Agreed!
You truly are the most stylish person on RUclips. There are a ton of really stylish people but your creativity with it is next level :)

LondieNique right!!! Lol, she has me checking out a few white mules definitely!
Agreed!!
LondieNique true talk!!
Make this a series I love the comparisons!!!
TheNotoriousKIA loving Zara!!! Other stores could work too!! Yes please!!
TheNotoriousKIA Zara or anything! Love love seeing the comparisons
A variety of stores
I love that you've stayed true to yourself through all these years. We appreciate you, Kia!
yep! we suuure do!
Would you ever work in the fashion industry? I could see you as a creative director for a fashion mag or a brand
It’s amazing to know that I am not the only one that prays over all my thrifted items. Love it!
I haven’t bought jeans in DECADES from an actual store- ALL of mine are thrifted: already broken in, have character and the BEST PART?!? Vintage Baby! Wranglers, Lee, Levis, etc. I’m talkin MADE IN USA 🇺🇸, 100% cotton with Real Leather patch!
17:16 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Yes yes a video on what you do before you actually wear the thrifted pieces. I'm glad you pray on them cause I believe in energies as well!
Girl! I need to see you feature your shoes more! I need it. Lol. The docs gave me chills. I’m here for you girl! Lol.
I can really see the work you put into this vid. The side-by-sides of the pieces was a great addition. LOVE your style! Keep up the great work!
Honestly a lot of the pieces you picked up were better than the Zara more expensive pieces.

All of your picks looked better than Zara"s.
Anne Alessandri agreed!
Idk why I'm surprised but everything you found is better quality than Zara's 😍
What did she do? Honey, THAT and then some. Very great haul and your picks very so spot on it was exciting. I love savers and this made me want to make a trip.
"These I only wear in the house" lmao. This video was so bomb and the message is amazing! Love from Chicago ✨
Can you please do a video on how you clean your thrifted items???
S. Yes please!

michelleatdawn thanks sis!
I'm here for the entire haul. Love your style!
Yessss I use zara,topshop,h&m &f21 as sources of inspiration when I go thrifting. My whole fall wardrobe so far is thrifted & you can't even tell
Yo, I passed out at those Brooks Brothers cords! THOSE are a find!
I love your style. You always inspire me to mix different fabrics, patterns and colors.
You are certainly the Queen of mixing fabrics and prints.The inspiration is over the moon....♥️♥️🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏽🙏🏽
What she do?! She does the thang!!! Sis....ok, you just have the eye & the creativity to put outfits together beautifully! Rock on, wit ya bad self! Much Love and Respect! 🙏🏿💖🇨🇦👊🏿

That dress is really cute. That black and white skirt is everything. Those pants. Yes
wow im so impressed by how many dupes you found!!
never would of thought to find thrift versions of bigger brands so this was very needed! & on top of that she was serving us look after look! yessss
loved this. I've been making the move toward sustainable fashion as well and have been thrifting!!! I'm so glad someone mentioned praying over thrifted clothes because best believe the Nigerian in me speaks in tongues as I add my thrifted clothes to my closet lol!!!

The high pricing compare to the Thrift Store prices are unbelievable, it's hard for me to shop at the regular Stores, love thrifting.
Fabulous video, I look forward to seeing more. I’ve been thrifting for over 30 years now. I agree, why pay more for something you can find at thrift or vintage shops. I get a high from finding things at thrift stores, it’s a challenge for me. I still shop retail but I love my vintage shops more because you never know what treasure you’ll find.
The gray thrifted plaid skirt is far more beautiful than the Zara one. Good look with the thrifting!
Oh the houndstooth is givning me Major Chanel wibes!
I am in love with that plaid blazer OMG
I’ve been watching you for years and I still live for your thrifted look books. Seriously when I was going into adulthood and trying to curate my own style I took so much inspo from you and thrifted looks are my fav
OMG first time here and you giving me Solange Knowles vibes
Love your style. I do believe you have to be in a “certain” area to find these great finds! My local consignment shop has an abundance of kid costumes, vintage dishes and an overage of jeans 🙄🙄🙄 so send for Sis so we can shop together and I’ll be happy 😃
I'm with you on conscious shopping. I have a list of places I refuse to spend my money and have found alternatives that save me money.
Everytime you post I'm like uh can you get off my neck! The good sis is always coming through!
I love the double plaid look!! especially with those kick ass boots!
I also love shopping at Thrift shops especially Savers...💝😎
Your thrift videos NEVER disappoint! I’m shook over those snakeskin leggings. Looking forward to that video on how you care for/ disinfect your items.
that "Versace" short sleeve blouse and raspberry corduroy jacket was my favorite items. i actually really want it. i need to go shopping for the longest of time
Girl if ppl aren’t booking you to style them they honestly need to get their lifffeeee
Yes to all of this! Where did you get the "Ghetto until proven fashionable" hoodie?
Those snake skin print pants are what I’m living for!!! Love this video! Would love to see more videos like this with a different store.
Look at you with the white boot trend AND the cowboy boot trend!
You are a Mood; a total breath of creativity, common sense, fly on point. Dayummm KIAAA!
Your style is almost exactly me when I'm feeling urban chic...
Thrift stores are awesome fashion from previous people who had bomb pieces but no creativity to style them-IMO.
"stop being childish and go to the thrift store" I freaking love you man hahaha
I'm so here for this video one year later. Love all the pieces. Gorgeous
Love your comment about paying $30 for a scarf...lol...so true
I love your creativity & how you see things in your head before you wear it! Your style brings these things to life! 💗
Love the video, I'm a thrift store queen, I've gone through my own up trama and went shopping then got home, heal myself after laughing at what I did and took everything back to each store at a time. I hit the thrift store and wholly, molly I'm a new me. Love thrift'g .
