Copying Over 50 Pinterest Outfits with My (Mostly) Thrifted Wardrobe | How to Recreate Outfits

Today we're conquering outfit envy! I finally got around to trying out a bunch of outfits I had saved on my Pinterest account, and I wanted to show you all my thought process in doing so. We can often achieve a similar look to what we find inspiration from online without even needing to look outside our own wardrobe.

My name is Melody; amateur seamstress, eternal theatre kid, and overall jack-of-all-trades. I love being able to take something old (whether I already own it or found it at the thrift store) and turn it into something new; you’ll find a lot of thrift-flips, mending, alterations, and other creative projects here! Living frugally and being intentional with my belongings is also very important to me; I enjoy clothes but strive to shop second-hand as much as possible and use what I already own. I hope I can encourage others to also become Outfit Repeaters with this channel.

I love it that you showed the rejects at the end! Thanks for doing all the work to create this video.

[@OutfitRepeater]

haha thanks! thanks for watching! 😊

[@isaiahwilsonn8788]

It’s hard to choose a favorite, I liked so many...even some of the reject ones you didn’t care for.

[@OutfitRepeater]

Lol thank you!

Hi :) I've heard how you sometimes said: it's not an outfit. She's just skinny. It seemed like you were frustrated that you did not get a similar wibe I guess. I think it's very easy to love a vibe of a photo or the person in the photo. When I look at outfit inspirations I try to imagine how the clothes would look if the person is just standing normal or walking. And what I often realize is that I like the photo, the pose, the vibe, how the clothes and the pose create a fantasy. But when I imagine the clothes out of the location, on me and my moving body I lose interest. What I'm trying to say: sometimes we love the photo and the fantasy a lot more than the clothes itself and I am a LOT less frustrated since I ask the question: do I like the photo, or the outfit? I hope you are able to understand what I mean 😅

[@OutfitRepeater]

I totally get what you mean! That comment isn't meant to disparage those particular outfits or even how I look in them; it's more so a tongue-in-cheek saying meant to point out that sometimes what is considered "fashionable" is only considered so because it's presented on a conventionally attractive or slim body, but if worn by someone larger or without perfect lighting/posing/etc it's just basic clothes. So I guess I'm just pointing out that I was fooled by the Pinterest aesthetic haha!

@@OutfitRepeater okay. I think I understand you better now :D

[@jessicabender1301]

I love your reject reel! What a great exercise on how to weed out what you don’t like. Well don

[@whoisjohngault3270]

The rejects looked good too

[@OutfitRepeater]

lol thanks!

I’ve always wanted a nice brown color houndstooth or tweed jacket - was a smart purchase. I also like the green “alligator” handbag. You’ve done a great job. Lovely haircut on you, too.

[@nomvulavmoloko6255]

This was a great video. I admire your efforts - I generally save for inspo and do not usually go back to pre-try prior to wearing

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thanks!!

[@arizonasmiles4284]

Personally I really did like 32 and 44, yet you made all the outfits look so good!! even if I wasn’t exactly the same they worked very well :)

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thanks!! Those two are also some of my favorites 😊

[@nataliedokter8159]

I love your style. Thanks for doing this! What a great idea!

[@rosahearn6132]

Great job! I'm sure this took a lot of work, but this video got me looking g at more of your videos.

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thanks for watching! It did haha... so many hours 💀

[@mzmishel7953]

Hi! I just found you☺️. Really like your style! Nice video. Good luck with your channel🥰❤️

[@winnysneece694]

I like your outfits alot more than the photos. Thanks for sharing.

[@wanda18221]

Great job!

[@normidwest1316]

love this

[@dollydongphuong]

You are so pretty and I love your style!!!

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thank you!

[@lisab2465]

Loved the “that’s not an outfit, she’s just skinny” comment! I know exactly what you mean. Just because you like an outfit/image on Pinterest doesn’t mean it will translate to something you can copy. It could be that the person has a different body type/colouring/style or it could just be that the picture is really well shot and so looks appealing. I know I need to curate my Pinterest pins better to actually be something that relates to my style/colours/aesthetic rather than something I just wish I could wear. 😀

[@tinajoneswilliams4253]

Well done! Xoxo

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thank you!

[@dezyroxursox]

45. I prefer yours 👌😊

[@winddragonlundholm1792]

4:25 I think you're right that it would have worked better with a flowy dress, but in my opinion the existing outfit you did would look better if it didn't have the belt, since the dress is already tight at the waist it looks a bit unnecessary to me.

[@kathyesargent9088]

Great job

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thank you!!

[@zulmacastro7897]

❤❤❤

[@genevieveincolour]

Loved this! We have so many pins in common! I very much enjoyed all the outfits, you have beautiful clothes and this was very well executed! ❤️❤️❤️

[@notnicci3689]

I know it's been 2 years, but what brand are the khaki pants in the outfit at 10:50? Also very fun video, I want to check my wardrobe vs my Pinterest boards now!

[@OutfitRepeater]

I think they’re some off-brand? Something like “Bette and Court” I got them off thredup. But honestly they feel super cheap, I’d not recommend them 😂

[@skylerfirestone851]

Nice looks and looks great but some of them do feel outdated.

[@y.a.4464]

2:25 that is the cutest little backpack ive ever seen. where did you get it?

[@OutfitRepeater]

Thanks! Got it from Thredup, but the brand is "Rosetti"

[@y.a.4464]

@@OutfitRepeater thank you!

[@y.a.4464]

@@OutfitRepeater pleeeeease let me know where you find your plaid / tweed / a line / sheath dresses. i only seem to find $200 calvin klein or tommy hilfiger ones online

[@OutfitRepeater]

Mostly thrift stores, and sometimes online with Thredup. But I know they don't ship outside US and Canada, so if you don't live there, try Depop or Ebay :)

[@romita9majumdar]

"Not an outfit, she's just skinny" 😂

[@dezyroxursox]

The ones that you think are not an outfit they're just skinny, I think you're wearing the wrong size. Especially the white shirt should be a size up, and the dress should be a little bit bigger but Tailored to fit you
