This is a side note but you always drop these random stories and I am always like what is your life! Quaker beginnings, parents that seem so beautifully intriguing, an extraordinary childhood, masquerade balls, living in France, actor, artist in Italy, writer's colony, designer, entrepreneur, tango. It just seems a life filled with so much adventure, passion, and exploration. I would love to hear you speak on your life! You're such a refreshing source of inspiration for me.
The content of this video is so uniquely Hannah Louise Poston. Love it!
Okay. When you post fashion content, it’s already a national holiday in my book. And then right away you finally tell us more about your Theatre days 😍 I mean it’s too much happiness for me handle. I have a similar approach to fashion, prioritizing “forever” pieces, etc. and I *also* did avant-garde theatre - about fifteen years ago for me, but pretty close. I’m only on piece 1, but I couldn’t stop myself from going ahead and commenting.
:)
Wow, I would absolutely love to hear a story time get ready with me about your time in the theatre group. If you ever get the energy to talk about yourself again, I would adore hearing about that experience and what you learned from it, and how you think that art has influenced your other art.
not wven through the video yet but GAWD Im so here for fashion content from you!!! love it already!!
Good grief that house is GORGEOUS! (I liked the video too LOL I just kept getting distracted by that wood staircase!)
it is a really, really beautiful old house, my fave kind :)
You've mentioned your past as an actress in Belgium before and I was so worried I had missed the video where you tell more about it, so I'm glad I haven't missed it! Hope you want to tell more about it someday (as a Dutch person I'm really curious about your opinion/experience in/near my country!)
Hi other Dutch person!
@@LauravanLangen Hello, Dutch people both :) I spent a significant portion my childhood in Den Haag and have very fond memories of it! The cycling, walks along canals, oliebollen, museums, neighbourhood fireworks on New Year's Eve and the North Sea Jazz Festival (before it moved to Rotterdam) are my stand-out highlights.
please DO share your story about the theatre/avant-garde tour! as a theatre professor, I am super-intrigued. I had a chance to tour with Tanztheater Wuppertal in the nineties and it changed my life.
@@janebarnette6548 Wow! That must have been incredible. I think their work is so amazing.
My daughter (almost 20) has always been difficult to fit. She’s tiny 5’1.5” but super busty with a tiny waist and curves. I don’t want to shop in the overpriced petites section of department stores, which are often NOT her demographic style wise, AND spend a small fortune on tailoring so second hand shopping is a godsend. She can try on EVERYTHING and find the perfect fitting designer jeans and dresses for a fraction of retail pricing, offsetting some of those still needed tailoring costs.
I think the MOST enjoyable thing about shopping second hand is the tremendous variety available in one place. Not having one’s style dictated by the season or current trends allows for much more individual creativity and confidence.
Thank you for sharing and (all the pieces, but...) that silk dress - oh my goodness!
I loved this video! Second hand is my jam, back when I was going outside I used to visit local thrift stores every week. As is so often the case I think the biggest gift of your videos is hearing you talk about what your belongings mean to you. Many of your insights are useful to straight up translate into ones own life, but I feel like I also develop the skill to similarly analyse my relationship with my stuff. During the year that I have followed you it has really helped me curate my collection, my aesthetic and my shopping habits. Also I just have a great interest in material culture and how we shape and are shaped by our stuff in general. Your channel is among the best if not the best for exploring this that I have found so I am very happy to be subscribed to you!
Since a significant percentage of my belongings are second hand I have many great finds, but one that sticks out for me is my fall coat. It is a forest green vintage loden coat with a short hooded cape. I found it in pretty bad condition and had to spend a week mending it, and it is clear that it has been mended before. But it was so worth it and I love it so much. It is wearably epic, and I feel like the previous love adds something special, as if I have gotten the honor of continuing the story of this beautiful piece. It really feels magical to me in a way I cant fully explain.
the coat sounds truly incredible!!!
“Wearably epic” is my new wishlist
@@laurapiercefoley I recommend it!
Seeing Sadie explore the stairs has me literally tearing up hahah
One of the reasons wy this video is tugging at my heart strings, is for about a year/year and a half, when I took a break from practicing law, I ran a little business on eBay called recycled living, and I curated collections of clothes for women of non-typical mass market sizes (petite, plus, tall, very small) based largely on about five women in my brain. And while I have a few lovely pieces I found for myself and still have (few being relative, but they've endured since 2007, I mostly shopped for other women. I had a lot of repeat customers or people who asked for super specific things. And then I also sold 1950s-70w homewares, because that's another thing I would find and that I sold well. Apparently my women like to live recycled and vintage. I did it because both my parents had passed away (and grandparents to whom I was very close), I wanted time to grieve, I inherited a house (along with my sister) and a little money. I was doing legal volunteer work with kids. This was essentially my tax write off that gave me a lot of things to do everyday. And I bizarrely made money even after the expenses.. Not enough and then I missed practicing law so much, I went back to it. But I strongly believe in used/thrift/vintage clothing as part of my aesthetic, as part of my eco-consciousness (don't get me started on the pesticides in the Gulf), and a way of building a wardrobe that actually fits your long term clothing ideas and is deeply personal to you. It has that thing that makes people see you as well-dressed (in whatever that means to you). It's why I love clothing rental as well for work, because if you want that on trend piece, you can rent it and if you find one that (for you) ticks the boxes of long term use, you are doing a version of thrifting. I obviously haven't shopped in person this year, but if I am ever not working 15 hour days (please let it be soon) I follow a number of ebay shops that get in the kinds of things I like in sizes I wear who have built trust with me and just check in on them, from time to time (they always have strong return policy, most good second hand thrifters do). But while eBay is very different now than it was in 2007-2008, I have such fond memories in my thrifting for others days, and in running that business and in the kinds of things the different 4 or 5 women in my mind wanted. I feel lucky for that year. And for ALL the reasons here.
this sounds so amazing! dream job!
Great video
I love Sadie’s cameo on the stairs that stole three show lol
😻
she really did! She was being so cute
Fashion content 🌸🌸👏👏👏
YAY something to watch while I darn all my pants
You are me hero! I'm so bad at motivating myself to sew that I just returned all the stuff in my mending pile to their regular places for fear that I might never have worn them again 😅
I practice modest dress, and the way you describe that first piece (would 1000% wear) is how I feel about most of my clothing and my dresses in particular, which I've had to dig up from more obscure places--most of my clothes work for lots of different weather, are statement-y but can be dressed up or down, and I can feel good about my body in my own way.
You found beautiful, unique pieces that look amazing on you! I LOVE that you are encouraging people to shop secondhand since it's so much more sustainable, saves money and the results are more rewarding and interesting! Except for underthings & socks, I've exclusively purchased used/secondhand/thrift/vintage clothes for the past few years! I haven't been as successful with shoes though. I have at least three vintage dresses that are my classic go-to pieces for almost any occasion--they can go casual or fancy depending on shoes and accessories! I hope you film more content like this!
I love how you talk about things having masculine and feminine qualities and describe the purposes these qualities can have.
I love how those first two dresses are the perfect forever pieces but the reasons are in such juxtaposition! The first being somewhat masculine, demure, neutral and tailored and the other flowy, sensual sin a much more statement colour! Both pieces suit you phenomenally! I’m amazed you can have a pair of shoes as forever shoes, it’s one of item clothing I feel always starts to feel worn and raggedy with consistent wear.... (although having said that my grungy, black lace up stomper heeled boots are one piece that have escaped that as they almost look more perfect the more they are worn..)
So awesome to see ‘the blouse’ in a video again, it’s like seeing an old friend! (It’s was also nice to see Julene again. ) What a fantastic video I loved every bit of it! It’s definitely making me reflect on what pieces have been in my wardrobe for more than 5-10 years... some of which are actually suprising!💕👌🏼❤️
Find a good cobbler / Shoe repair person. I have a pair of leather boots that I have had re-heeled at least 7 or 8 times. Most recently the place I took it to glued down a tear in the leather (I am hard on my shoes). They look almost new! I am dreading re-soling them as that will be expensive but we are getting close to that after a decade of wear.
I love this so much, there is just something so special about pieces than have been worn and loved 💐
This video speaks to my soul! Thank you for making it.
Love love love this video, and I totally agree! The vintage (2nd hand) items I’ve purchased over the years are so special to me, something about them feels like an accomplishment piece, just for the fact that I FOUND this special piece and there’s never going to be another like it. ♥️✨
My heart needed this wonderful HLP content today, thank you! Loved hearing you talk about the different qualities that make items keepers for you 💕
Love this! I used to actually run a vintage store on eBay many moons ago. I’ve loved vintage clothing since I was about 13. When I closed my store I got away from vintage and secondhand shopping but have rediscovered it over the last two years. Specifically secondhand designer items. I would say 90% of the designer items I own are secondhand.
That is awesome!
That green dress is AMAZING on you!
I once bought a long cashmere coat for 5 pounds in London, Brick Lane years ago when I lived there, wore it almost everyday every winter. Then i donated it when I left and moved to a hotter climate. Sometimes, I still miss it tho 😂
Always love hearing stories from your life so much, sounds like you’ve done so many interesting things
I love your fashion/clothing content! This is a YES for me. 🥰
Love fashion content from you Hannah!
Love really love your fashion videos!!! Please, do more!!!
Definitely more fashion content. You made me want to go through my closet and get rid of anything I don't love like you love those 5 pieces. Such a great video!
Such an amazing video! I love all your fashion content, especially secondhand. I shop almost exclusively secondhand for clothes, so this was right in my wheelhouse! Better for the earth, and better for the wallet!
I love this! I can often feel like I have to have all my peak Fiona fashion pieces right now. Instead, I also have a small collection of lovingly collected pieces that took me years to acquire. I value these pieces more than the faster fashion that I sometimes indulge it. I also know that it takes the right time and place and mood to find these magical key pieces. I enjoy when fashion is not about trend but instead about something within me. I am forever grateful for the friend who told me to get the glorious 80s body con dress with a huge camel on it that I never would have chosen for myself, and that is now the dress I wear when I want folks to notice me. I delight in the journey of clothes.
I loved this video! My takeaway is that second hand garments really add an extra layer of uniqueness to anyone's wardrobe. I think that we all tend to have favorite brands or favorite shops, so sometimes our style can become just a subgroup of the style of these brands but adding some secondhand pieces really gives extra flavor.
one of my fav videos you've done
I loved this video! My favorite find is this yellow, floral, silk dress that I saw hanging in the window while in Puerto Rico. It made me feel like no matter what I looked like in it I would be beautiful, and I was right. Every time I see it I feel warm and nostalgic, and whenever I wear it I'm incredibly confident and radiating. I always think I should just throw everything else out of my closet that doesn't give me the same feelings as this dress.
I love shopping second hand. Especially when I’m able to go into the shop and actually try on these items. I am short and rather flat chested so finding items that fit me right and don’t make me look like a boy can be challenging.
I LOVE that purple hair streak!
You are really serving me so much of life when you are posing with your favorite pieces in front of the camera I just love it
Oh my god I love this. It got me excited about my wardrobe in a way I haven’t been in a while! I love the stories behind your pieces. My five favorite second hand pieces are a Burberry wool coat, a pair of velvet Elizabeth and James loafers, an embroidered pair of high waisted Nannette Lepore jeans, a pair of ice/baby blue Coke Haan Oxford shoes, and a wool embroidered sweater that is so cozily grandma thrift store chic that it makes me swoon.
Great video, I love that green dress! I bought a really nice navy plaid blazer jacket a few years ago for about $15 during a thrift store browse. It has yellow trimming inside and the quality, stitching and everything is immaculate. Now whenever I want to wear a blazer I immediately go to that one, all my other blazers seem less shiny compared to it. Not only my favorite second hand purchase, might be one of my favorite purchases ever.
I love second hand shopping. A couple times a month I have my route planned out and off I go. Thanks for doing this video. 🌺♥️
Love this video idea. I’ve been shopping second hand since college; at the time it was for budgetary reasons, but now it’s more for environmental reasons. I recently I acquired a pair of wide leg, silk, leopard print pants on Poshmark and they. Are. Everything. I actually purchased the matching leopard print blouse first, but now that I have both I can be THAT extra. It’s a vibe. I love it.
My girlfriends and I do clothing swaps from time to time, or show each other pieces we're decluttering in case there's something the other likes, it has been a method that has refreshed my wardrobe time and time again.
I think this was genuinely interesting to see as pieces can contain different feelings or stories that are normally contained within our own lives and no one elses, thus, never shared.
My coat collection is about 98% secondhand and stunning in my own opinion, but one piece in particular that brings me pure joy is a Linda Lundstrum navy blue wool and faux fur coat. It was my mothers and she obviously bought it brand new in the 80s when it first came out, and I ended up taking it from her when she was decluttering her own wardrobe; she even still had the matching gloves and boots. Words cannot express how happy that coat makes me, it's a head turner even when I wear it in -35 degree weather when it is at its zenith of use. These days the coats go for $300+ depending on the amount of design work done on the outer satin.
wonderful!
I think the randomness of it all and the stories about how we find our favorite pieces makes the piece special. Had you not been in Belgium, or Portland or LA, you would not have found these. Walking into a place or seeing something from the window that makes one have the feeling that possession is possible. Trying it on and finding that beginning of a beautiful relationship between you and the thing is very heady indeed. Those places and occasions when and where you wear them are like a snapshot into your life. My mother used to narrate photos of her when she was younger and talk about the clothes she had on and when she got them and what was special about the piece. I have a little relationship like that with my purchases, especially those that are from a second hand shop. The reason these pieces were given up was for you to have and love them. They are classic and can be worn through the years. My aunt gave me a little cashmere black swing jacket with those shortened sleeves of the fifties. I took it to college and wore it to death. I still have it.
Best thrift store find I own: 30 years ago, a black fur bracelet length hip length jacket that’s been around the world with me. It cost $10.
This is in my top five favorite RUclips videos. I loved it! I found a camel hair coat that was originally sold in Neiman Marcus in the 60’s; at a Goodwill in Dallas, Texas in 1992. The coat has full sleeves with cuffs and a diamond shaped felted design on the back where the shoulder blades hit. It was less than 5 dollars. I will wear it until my dying day.
lovely!!
Fantastic video! One of your very best. Would love to see more fashion content on your channel, especially with a second hand focus.
Hi Hannah as a plus size girls is very hard for me to find second hand things so I mostly concentrate on accessorizes - jewelry and handbags. But the most beautiful second hand thing was actually a present for my mom, which I found when I was still living in Germany and was able to find a channel bag in almost pristine condition for a real bargain - even the person who authenticated it could not believe how lucky I was. It is more than 6 years now and my mom still has, wears and loves this bag. Every time she is wearing it she gets the look from other people :) i really enjoy your fashion content please keep going
I absolutely love your fashion content! Thank you for promoting an intentional wardrobe without having to make a capsule - I feel very inspired by your aesthetic!
I love the fashion content!! 💜💙💚
Wow, I adore that first dress. Vintage is everything. Most of my best shoes including clogs, leather sandals and boots, I have bought second hand on poshmark and ebay and I have had stellar luck with it. Very little wear, great value for the quality. I often repaint or redye them if they aren't my ideal aesthetic to begin with. Ugh second hand is my jam. Ulla is the inspiration for much of my me made closet. 🙌🏾
I loved this! I don't buy any fast fashion so this kind of content is like gold to me 😄❤️ I think we should appreciate our clothes more and really take care of them. It's so sad to see people buy cheap clothes and after wearing them a few times they already look bad or they just get bored of them and get new ones (by bad I mean cheap fabrics getting "soggy"). I hope you enjoyed doing this so we'll get more of it 🥰
Second hand is the best😍 omg that first dress I cant. Its like my dream evening dress for when im slimmer 😍
Loved this video! And that first dress gave me life!!
For me the takeaway is that fashion and make up aren’t frivolous. They can be approached with intention and purpose not only in the way they affect how we present ourselves to the world, but how we consume it. Of course this is the whole idea of your channel, but it still is such a fresh message within the beauty/fashion community.
I don’t necessarily buy second hand. But I made the commitment to only buy from local designers and locally made fashion (I’m from Colombia). Way more pricy but so much more special pieces. Thank you Hanna for being this reflexive and critical corner of the Internet!
I love your fashion content and this content in particular! Starting next year when my no -buy is done I'm really excited to build start building a wardrobe of "forever" pieces and defining my style apart from trends
And I want to add I have the SAME struggle with being high-waisted. I've always wanted a pair of high waisted tailored trousers so congrats on finding a pair that works for you!
Love the video as always!
The best thing that I ever bought second hand is a long brown skirt that gives of a sort of farmer style (/ cottage core?) vibes. It's okay to wear in the summer and with a pair of leggings I can get use of it all year around. It cost me about 5 dollars and it's the most loved piece of clothing that I own, it always makes me feel great.
Secondhand shopping has always been my saviour and my inspiration. it all started out with my mom not being able to afford buying me new things when I was a kid, and it continued with me growing up, majoring in an art school and realizing that I can actually be more creative with secondhand stuff for cheap! Now I can't even enter a mall, because it doesn't give me the same pleasure as thrifting does! Rummaging through racks full of possibillities is just SOME feeling
I love all your videos, including this one, it has really put things into perspective, especially when you talked about trying to recreate the initial emotion and 'magical moment' of having found that one perfect product/colour combination and trying to recreate that feeling through purchasing all the different colours of a certain product, I didn't realize I was doing that until you mentioned it! haha going back to this video in particular, I actually went shopping in second hand stores in Ireland when we were on a family vacation years ago and found the only romper that has ever fit my shape perfectly. Being taller then the average women, I have a hard time finding a romper or jumpsuit that fits my proportions, the one I found has floral patterns, which is something I'm always drawn towards for some reason, it is honestly perfect for me and it is one of the pieces I'm sure to keep for years to come :)
awesome!
this is a great video!!!! I LOVE buying second hand goods, and I feel like my favorite thing to buy is second hand bags! my favorite second hand purchase I think is probably my manu atelier bag, but I think my favorite second hand item I have is this bag my mom gave me, its super elegant, it looks like a golden seashell, I think my mom has had it for 25 years before I got it and it still looks exquisite!
wow! sounds amazing!
The silent film clips are chefs kiss
OMG that blouse is beautiful. An outfit maker.
Love the curated wardrobe concept. I have too much and often multiples of an item. I've been paring down forever, but I've never curated. This is different and I'm learning a lot.
My mother was a clothes horse too, she's 86, lost interest in life 4 years ago, and there's clothing everywhere in her place, things she'll never again wear. Her mind is fine but her interest in grooming is gone. In a way I think her humongous wardrobe was from trying to find her SELF but she gave up.
This video gave me a life lesson.
Thank you.
Love fashion content! Most of my wardrobe is second hand. My favorite item is probably my Longchamp handbag. It was incredibly inexpensive and it is black with dark chain strap. I can wear with anything, from sweats to dresses. I also save up for second hand pieces, my watches were second hand saved for purchases.
Love this!
So many gems😍. When I lived in Columbus many years ago there was a second hand clothing shop called Rag-O-Rama. I found so many beautiful, intriguing pieces there. One was a deep, almost maroon, red dress that had the most unique texture. Describing it with words cannot do it justice. Whenever I wore it everyone wanted to touch it. I loved my red dress to bits❤️. Another favorite was a t shirt that simply read “I know I’m beautiful, tell me I’m efficient”. The text was that kind of shiny/multicolored/rubber-like material with a hint of sparkle. But not loud or bright. Whenever I wore it someone always started a conversation about it. There was always that person who wanted to analyze it to death, lol. But that dress...
Thanks for sharing your gems, chickadee🍃🌸
My absolute favorite secondhand find so far is a beautiful 100% silk light pink (almost a beige pink) mock neck sweater. I found it at a thrift store for I believe 4.99, and it makes me feel so special when I wear it. It's not something I would have ever taken a chance on, had I not had the opportunity to try it on. I wear it in a monochromatic outfit most times, and it's something I can see myself owning for the rest of my life. I also got a really cute winter themed sweater with puppies and snowballs and that just makes me smile. I loved this video, sorry I rambled in my comment. It just really made me appreciate how lucky I was to find that pink sweater in the thrift store that day.
I admire & also mirror the in-depth thought toward fresh garments when thinking about how to apply them to existing wardrobe & ponder how many different reviving options they will being to my life path. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the journey you've taken with each new piece. I found it endearing. Favorite past thrifting experience was more a lesson in location which makes all the difference & current Fave would be Thread up! The shop me size permanently saved + applied to browsing options is a game changer; can not speak more highly of that.
I loved looking at the clothes, but I especially loved getting the little tidbits of your life’s adventures along the way. Also, as a tall long-torsoed woman, I totally feel your pain about high-waisted pants lol
How crazy is that! Coincidentally I saw that tango-video years ago, while I was looking for an upcomming tango-class by Noelia Hurtado... And now I see the same stunning dress here! Lovely greetings from Berlin :-)
This video is uniquely you and watching one of your older check in videos (I think) on the last shirt in this video was my first introduction to your channel so this content hooks me immediately! I always struggle to find second hand forever pieces bc I wear plus sizes. It’s not that I can never find anything it just means a have to look farther and wider and sometimes it can really be defeating but you inspire me to keep chugging along
You know, making this video got my wondering if there's a dedicated plus-size resale shop or site out there somewhere. It seems like an awesome business idea waiting to happen :)
Yay for second hand shopping and yay for pieces that make us feel amazing
I actually worked at a second hand shop for a couple of months and that what was made me devolve the skill I think you have to learn when you start to shop second hand
My 3 best purchases are a striped shirt from the little boys section that just fits great and makes me feel so good
A black dress that looks like it was made for me
And a lace top that I found almost without effort that goes with so many occasions and cost just 3$
I also have a lot of pieces in my wardrobe form my grandmothers and aunt ,some of them were made long before I was born.
I would enjoy more video's like this. Very unique and interesting
Those pieces are timeless, and absolutely beautiful!
On a totally unrelated note, in many of your fashion related videos I’ve frequently heard you mentioned things about your figure in regards to how clothes fit (or don’t fit) you. You’ve also posted many beautiful head to toe pictures of your OOTD’s. However, watching a clips of you trying on the Chloe dress and the pants, I realized that this was the very first time that I have gotten a true look of what the silhouette of your body really is like. Just like everything else about you: the calming quality of your voice, your style of makeup, your taste in clothing and accessories-there is such an aristocratic grace in your whole presence. Yet, you are exuding a very upscale version of a really sophisticated modern vibe. I understand that you have an exquisite taste, and a great eye for “beautiful things”, but I honestly can’t comprehend how you’ve managed to create and maintain such a perfect balance of portraying your individuality while always being stylish, and always on trend! I don’t know if that is something that can be learned, you just got it! I aspire to be able to learn from you if that’s at all possible!
aw, this is such an incredibly nice comment, thank you so much! In general, I am really interested in the question of what is innate and what is learned or acquired. I will think about ways to perhaps incorporate this into a video!
Hannah Louise Poston, that would be incredible, I would love to hear what your perspective is on this topic! This could turn out to not only have educational value for many of us, but also be incredibly thought provoking, as well as entertaining. I hope it comes into fruition!
This video was an unexpected nostalgia trip for me :) The clip of the theatre piece reminds me of the work I used to do when I had a regular gig in an experimental performance troupe between 2010 and 2015 - we're on indefinite hiatus and I miss it so much :,(
Another thing I miss, and hadn't realised how much I missed until this video, is being a small enough clothing size to shop for vintage garments. My favourite finds were a cropped black cashmere Pringle jumper with an amazing 80s silhouette and some incredible Red or Dead turquoise and green striped stiletto ankle boots, both acquired for under £30 whilst performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2004. I used to ride my bike in those heels! Ah, young carefree days of perceived invincibility! I was a UK size 10 back then, and am now a 14-16 with too dumpy a waistline to comfortably fit most clothes, let alone older pieces cut for narrower waists.
I do relate enormously to the phenomenon you described of wearing the things that 'best' suit your figure until that feels boring: I spent years accentuating my hourglass figure, but now feel so much cooler in baggy oversized cuts made of super-comfy, breathable materials. The act of wearing what we feel like is so radical, especially for those of us with bodies that are considered more challenging or less desirable.
Wonderful video. Thank you :)
OMG! Tango Silent Films! ❤️❤️❤️

I completely enjoyed this video. Your chosen articles of clothing are simply beautiful. Each so different, yet making perfect sense the way you described your decision process. I loved each one for different reasons. I remember the purchase of your blouse also. Have you ever thought of becoming a personal buyer? I think you could be excellent, and have the ability to get to the best pieces, if simply by waiting it out. Lastly one of my favorite parts were when you modeled the slacks. We had slow deliberate moves, then that little shimmy up to the camera. I admit I replayed that part 3 times. Then I decided I wanted to slow it back down,lol....my mind sometimes smh....but that playful part put a big smile on my face, to sum it up...BRAVO!
I would LOVE to be a personal shopper. It's definitely one of my "if life had gone differently" careers :)
Very beautiful pieces! I went "uuuu!!" when I saw you with the second dress, absolutely stunning! :D Fun story: I'm not a perfume lover, like almost any would do for me as long as it's not very heavy, but once in my life (7?) years ago I smelled a random perfume in a duty-free and fell in love. That was the (now discontinued) L'Eau de Chloe, and the bow on top of the bottle was the exact same green like your dress. The smell was so delicate and cheerful and elegant like your dress too. I bought it for the last time 2 years ago and I'm using it slooowly, in an attempt to make its life a little longer, as there won't be any more after I finish it, sadly. The only perfume I ever loved.. :)
Yes, this video was interesting! I feel like the biggest takeaway is that it is worthwhile to think about buying forever pieces. Curious what other people think.
Genie J I hear you. I’ve been broke forever so haven’t had the money to invest, really. I trust you to do what’s best for you!
This was a really good one, Hannah! I am all about secondhand shopping for a variety of reasons and I love the idea of forever pieces - but from my own experience I feel like it's extremely hard to predict which pieces will actually occupy that role. I think you and I have, if not similar styles, a similar sort of relationship with style where "basics" aren't necessarily our actual wardrobe staples, if that makes sense? I find that my favorite pieces that I always want to wear are sometimes on the cusp of feeling out of bounds when I buy them and only time will tell if they cross the line into being loves or eventually being released to someone else.
Side note: if this subject interests you, I would love to see a video with your thoughts on feeling attractive/sexy/feeling your oats as it relates to a more socially acceptable traditional version of those concepts. I've been thinking a lot lately about how my experience of attractiveness has evolved over time and how far it's strayed from the accepted narrative.
Gahhh that staircase! If Julia and Oliver are comfortable with it, I would love to see a tour of your new home. From that little glimpse, it looks so charming.
it's an amazing house!
Wow I loved this!! I love beautiful clothes, and I’m always dreaming about finding the ideal secondhand items to wear. Having comfortable, practical, pretty clothes is a huge boost to my everyday mood. But shopping for clothes has been really hard for me the last few years because it’s tied up in some bad body image stuff that I’m still working through.
Hit enter too soon! One strategy I’ve been trying recently to work around that, is to look for items like pretty jackets and coats, or other stuff that isn’t super form fitting.
I'd LOVE a video on your recommendations for buying second-hand online 🖤
This is so interesting and inspiring ❤️
thank you!! I'm so glad you feel that way
Oh, and this totally justifies my love of thrift shopping, but this has helped me understand how to be more mindful about my selections that ultimately make it home with me
this was a fun video and i hadn't seen the first 2 gowns yet. stunning! oh, and i think we need a sadie update, is she now allowed to roam the house?
I’ve been mainly shopping at second hand stores my entire life and have found the best ‘treasures’ that are timeless, for sure, that way! I want unique..not what everyone else is wearing.
The best piece I ever purchased second hand was a black velvet blazer. It was easily 20+ years old when I purchased it and it had been tailored. It was nipped nicely at the waist and was a perfect hip length. I think I paid $5 for it. I used to wear it with feminine blouses and what we called broomstick pants at the time. I would also wear it with jeans and T-shirts. Eventually it became too small for me but I held on to it for years. This past year my oldest daughter (she’s 30), decided that she wanted to take it along with a leather blazer I’ve had for 25+ years.
I have many fond memories of parties and dancing and enjoying life attached to both jackets. ❤️
It was $5 well spent.
Loved this video! My main takeaway is that I want more fashion videos
:)
Would love an updated video on this topic, once you're back from maternity leave 😊
26 seconds ago! Stoked!
With that out of the way, I’ll say that my (enormous) wardrobe is 98% secondhand. Vintage clothing suits my style more; my closet is stuffed with fascinating colors, patterns and cuts and the act of hunting down special, one-of-a-kind pieces is intensely gratifying.
The takeaway for me is that shopping second hand is a skill that we can get better at - see how you bought the shoes and the blouse. As these are your five best what isn't being said is that there are things you bought second hand that didn't work out, as well as many shopping trips where nothing was bought because nothing made sense to buy. I often need to remind myself of this because it often only feels worth my time if I walk out of a shop with a bag.
My best second hand purchase is a black silk evening dress from Ralph Lauren, I found it at a Amvets for $16 in the time leading up to a cruise when I needed a long gown for the formal nights. Honorable mention go to: my bright pink Ugg rain boots, a J. Crew button down shirt with polka dots and anchors on it, a navy wool Gap cardigan that I've mended it's so good, and a burgundy Ann Taylor cashmere sweater.
As someone who has a degree in theatre studies and despite not working in the industry anymore, loves going to the theatre, I would love to hear more about your alternative / avantgarde theatre company experiences :)
Chloe is a Karl Lagerfeld brand. He was their fashion director in 1972 and 1992 and a lot of the very feminine sensibilities and winks at vintage silhouettes came from him (either directly or in the air). I was fully obssessed with Chloe in the 90s and then again mid-2010s. I think I've seen you dance tango in this dress, yes? On one of your tango channel videos?
I didn't know that about Chloe! And though I've danced in dresses with similar silhouettes, I never actually danced tango in this dress. Tango involves a lot of torsion, I think if I tried to dance in it my torso would twist right out of it, LOL.
Love this video content. But I just saw one of your videos where you weren't wearing makeup and now I see more clearly your fabulous eye makeup technique. I wish I knew how to do that. If you've ever done a tutorial on that I'd love to see it. P.S. love your style and aesthetic, thanks
Belgium!!! So you've been in my country... That made me smile!
I have! It was so wonderful to be there!
@@HannahLouisePoston You got to admit,we have great food!
My wardrobe is mostly second hand. I love thrifting. My wedding dress is a second hand two piece prom dress in the palest periwinkle. My favorite date night shoes are faux leather zip up stiletto ankle boots I call them my witchy boots because they have a pointed toe. My latest find is a empire waisted v neck blouse with a brown "versace" style chain print. My winter coat that isn't fashionable at all but is warm and goes from fall to spring was 25 bucks 10 years ago--it's been through hell and still works. My biggest score was when a lady decluttered her closet and I got 6 barely worn Layne Bryant tops for under 40 bucks.
I wonder if that Chloe dress is from when Karl Lagerfeld was designing for them! That is truly a once in a lifetime vintage find. I used to do more thrift shopping when I was younger. It's harder now because those finds tend to be for much smaller sizes than I can wear now. This was a gem of a video, and made me nostalgic for sure. So glad RUclips led me to you. Been binging your channel ever since!
The Eric Michael shoes were a great tip. I've been looking for a cork sole sandal with a bit of height that also had adjustment buckles across the toes and ankle and they had one! They weren't insanely expensive either. I collect vintage clothes and have always tried to wear as much vintage as possible in my daily life. Over the years I've made some amazing finds. Just for sheer amazing "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND THIS" was finding a dress on Ebay that was IDENTICAL to one wore by Eva Marie Saint in North By Northwest. The piece was from Bergdorf Goodman originally and is a famous New Look designer. The timing was amazing too because I found it just before I had to go to a destination wedding AND the Cary Grant convention being held in the same hotel where some of NxNW was filmed. It was less than $300 which is crazy given that it's couture, 70s years old and in pristine condition.
Hannah, have you seen the Fenty brow sculpting MVP wax pencil & styler? I like it better than the Patrick Ta brow wax. I use it with a spoolie, not the little brush, but think it’s really good. 🙂
I'm seriously considering checking it out!
My best second hand find was a pair of Christian Louboutin purple python platform pumps. They originally retailed for almost $1,400 and I got mine for $350. I’d been dreaming of owning a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps for over 10 years but could never afford a brand new pair. These fit me perfectly and are in my favorite color, purple. They are truly a forever piece. Even if I rarely wear them, I love looking at them.
Hi Anna,
I lived in Ghent in 1998 during my Phd. Old girl here... Love your videos!
