I went downtown to go shopping/browsing through some hidden gem shops and also Value Village. I was definitely on a mission to thrift the perfect staple items for my wardrobe that would help me put together outfits for everyday wear, since I still struggle with that!
I set s couple of strict guidelines for myself, along with a few other notions in my head about what pieces would bring true value to my closet.
My rules:
1. The item needs to fit
2. No noticeable stains or tears
3. Things that require little to no alterations
4. Good color that will match my existing wardrobe!
Having these in mind helped me pick out the best items, and leave the “just ok” items behind. My wallet was better for it.
My goal over the year is to really establish my closet as something that is valuable to me in the long run. I want high quality clothes that I can take care of and keep basically for as long as possible, which means it needs to be built of timeless things rather than trendy things, realistic for wear/won’t get ruined easily, and things that really resonate with me and my style (which is subject to change, but dark academia/witchy has been my favorite style since I could form opinions, so that’s my basis).

I have that green "tinker bell" skirt! I bought it exactly 10 years ago when I was in highschool! It is supposed to be a skirt, that's what it was advertised as in the shop I bought it at. I was on a school trip and we saw a play that evening after shopping. I didn't want to wear my sweaty jeans and t'shirt so I wore it as a dress actually lol. If you look inside, under the skirt, you will find 4 little snaps. Connect them and it will create a beautiful flowing effect! Which looks much better imo.

[@YoursTrulyMcGouly]

Your comment gave me so much joy

[@artapothecary53]

I also had a skirt like this! It was a brighter iridescent green and blue. I always wondered if it was a dress or skirt but wore it as a skirt. I gave it away years ago but still think of it from time to time. And now to read that it had snaps that I never knew of! If I still had it I’d be scrambling to find those snaps.

[@trishaagr]

why can i tell from this comment that you're just a very beautiful person

[@MamzelleRenard]

Me every time you do anything: you’re doing amazing sweetie

[@macylouwho1187]

Here’s a little tip for you on stains. Test an inconspicuous spot for color fastness of the garment first, but if you put Dawn dish soap and oven cleaner on the stain (the cheap dollar store kind works fine) you can get out a lot of stains even if they’ve been laundered before. Put it all over the stain and let it sit in a sink or plastic bag for an entire 24 hour period-do not put water on it. Launder like usual. Sometimes if the stain is particularly bad, you may have to repeat the oven cleaner and dish soap stain remover again if the stain didn’t full come out. Do not breathe the fumes from the oven cleaner because when you first spray it it’s quite bad. Either spray and jump away or wear a face mask while spraying oven cleaner.

This was a very calming video. Your voice is so beautiful. Also your editing is so good. I love it! 🖤

[@vedacorvus]

Aw thank you! 🥰💛

[@valentinafernandezamador1501]

I love how organized you are and the amount of work you spend doing your videos make them so beautiful ❤

[@vedacorvus]

Thank you so much! That's very sweet to say 🥺

[@tea-addict8956]

The vibe of your videos is always so calm and soothing, love it! I don't believe in mermaids that are half human, half fish - but there are definitely people who are really in tune with the ocean, the element of water, the tides and the moon.

[@SarandipityStudios]

I love thrift shopping! Totally agree about being strict, I often go overboard. All those shops had such neat stuff, loved the vid ❤ edit: I definitely plan on checking out that Nebula projector

[@vedacorvus]

Totally agree about going overboard haha 🖤✨

[@pensdonterase]

Do you know you’ve found your favorite type of aesthetic when you feel so happy and almost want to cry happy tears due to the comfort of it all? Is that what it means? No seriously I need help I think I’m in love 💀

[@nataliexbrutality]

I had that green dress/skirt thing in yellow/black, green/black and orange/black like a decade ago. They were sold at Ross as multiuse dress/skirts 🙃 I loved them.

[@vedacorvus]

yellow and black sounds sooo cute!

[@christinamann3640]

I had one in lilac and wore it as a skirt

[@juliam.7584]

i love your videos, i binge watched them for the past few days and they're just perfect! And you're so sweet 😊

[@violetbyers6818]

I lub your style, I’m addicted to watching thrift videos but 95% of any I watch are completely different style wise from what I generally wear. Your whole vibe and stuff is a lot closer to my thing though which is niceeee

[@mssbellavampire]

u are like in an ancient age, vintage things, it is amazing

[@alidavideo]

Nice choices! The hip huggers make me so nostalgic for the 90s. They look great on you like that!

[@christinamann3640]

I also had a lilac version of that green skirt/dress. I was sure it was meant to be a strapless dress, but I wore it as a skirt because I did it my way 😁

[@gabmrquez]

Or by god his videos are so cool and how everything is so picturesque and dark academy style

You are really easy to listen to. I cant be done with a lot of the dark and light academia people. Maybe its because we share the witchy vibe but youre much more like the way I was at your age than any of these other girls on here. Love what you got!

Thank you 🥰

[@annamariejimenez69]

For the dress/skirt, you can see if there is a side tag near the bottom! Most of them identify the clothing. Or, on the top of it, if there are those ribbon/plastic straps for extra hanging support. it's a dress! If nothing is there then I am sorry been there before, normally would just switch it back and forth.

[@arcadia9424]

I love your style! And your hair in this video is so nice, I'd love tutorials on hairstyles :)

[@amandaspence1971]

Karen Scott is a store brand for the Hecht Company (That was the name here in Maryland, anyway). Hecht’s was on the higher end side of the market, but not as far up as Macy’s, if that makes sense. I loved Karen Scott stuff because it reminded me so much of the Liz Claiborne styles from back in the 80’s-yes, I’m that old. LOL. The Rider’s are probably from Lee Jeans. The Calvins are probably women’s jeans. They were also huge back in the 70’s and 80’s-Brooke Shields was in an ad that caused a scandal because she said ‘Nothing comes between me and my Calvins’. A little fashion history for you hahaha.

Love the style. And as an opinion, I think you should feel more confident with your thoughts. "I don't know" indicates you are uncertain, but really most of fashion is subjective. Own it! You don't need anyone else agreeing, it's your clothes.

The reason little boy pants fit as high waisted pants for women is because they leave extra room in the crotch for boys and it ends up creating a high waisted look on adult women 😂 that was a trick my sister and I did in high school all the time! We bought boy jeans from Walmart/goodwill and turned them into high waisted shorts.
