let's thrift a vintage dress for a wedding 💒✨vintage + antique shop, thrift haul try on summer 2022

[@KathleenIllustrated]

which dress was your favorite?! 🥲✨

[@lorienpatmore3520]

I like the authenticity of not finding a thrifted dress in the epic search and not forcing it to happen. That’s just how it goes with thrifting

[@tatyannafrancis9935]

Ah man, you spoiled it! Now I know how it ends...

[@tomboyz151]

I know you said the black dress at 7:22 was too simple, but OMG you looked 🔥🔥🔥 in it!!! That one was my favorite on you 🥲

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yeah looking back it was pretty nice 😂 haha thanks so much for watching 🤍🔥

[@jeanlinder1310]

I actually like that you posted what was technically a "thrift fail," because that happens so often! It's relatable, and you handled it quite well! Sometimes when I constantly see these amazing thrift hauls I feel like I'm living in the wrong city or shopping the wrong places. Seeing this video was fun and felt really honest. Thank you! Better luck next time!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw! Thanks so much, Jean! You're right - happens allllllll the time. Glad we're on this journey together (fails and all!)

[@magpie06]

Oh, goodness, that black dress with asymmetrical neckline looked absolutely amazing on you...fit you like a glove! I'm afraid the wedding guests wouldn't even notice the bride if you had worn that dress! Columbus looks like a cool town. I've never been to Ohio. It's now on my bucket list. ✨You and Gus look beautiful in that photo. ♥

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw thanks Cindy!! It was a super cool dress, the perfect LBD! And Columbus IS pretty cool & always getting cool-er haha. I appreciate your kind words & that you took the time to watch my vid. Have a lovely week!!!

[@en2336]

@@KathleenIllustrated Love your zen attitude, I get crippling buyer's remorse for both NOT buying things and buying things and I have so many clothes I have a hard time letting go of because I keep telling myself I just need to find the right way to style them...maybe you could make a vid on your thrifting philosophy/mindset? Or like the life cycle of your clothes and how you know it's time to let go?

[@friendlykiwi384]

Yes pic of u and Gus is very sweet x

[@mandyr5896]

I'm not sure why, but finding a dress to wear to a wedding always feels high stakes to me. I'm glad you had something you felt comfortable in. Those clip on earrings were adorable

[@KathleenIllustrated]

So high stakes! I get it haha. Thanks for watching Mandy!!

[@crisfer22]

It's cool how this video defies expectations, we don't even get to see the final dress! It reminds that what matters is the journey, not the destination 😄

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha! Thanks for journeying with me 😊💖

[@demonicastar]

The colorful wrap dress you're wearing when you were shopping on thredUP is so cute, you look very pretty 🙂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thank you very much! It’s the perfect summer boppin-around-the-house dress :)

[@NicolePalmervlogs]

My pick was the pink and red dress for the funk aspect of it. I’m so sorry about the non- public dress!! Dang!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I should have gone for that one for this event!… but I may or may not have ordered it for another wedding next month. Fingers crossed it fits 👀 thanks for watching, friend!

[@Anna-jd7fd]

thank you for also showing what did not fit. Such a relatable video!

[@wlammy4ever]

You know, I get why kids watch Dora the Explorer, when the content you watch asks you for help (“hold this dress pls”) or for our opinions, it feels so special and inclusive haha

[@tara1638]

When there’s a time crunch and you need to find something it’s always the worst. I can never find exactly what I’m hoping for. I’m sure you looked stunning in whatever you wore!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🤍🤍🤍 I was really playing with fire with this tight deadline haha. Thanks for watching Tara!

[@tempestgrey4629]

I agree that little black dress with the high neck was smokin hot on you

[@helenm1085]

It's so hard to work out what to wear to a wedding!! I'm not really one for formal dresses either which I feel makes it harder. For all the time one spends deciding, I don't remember what anyone else wore at the last wedding I was at haha I loved seeing all the vintage dresses you tried!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Right?! and at the end of the day.. isn’t it all about the people getting married anyways? Haha oh well. Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it, Helen :)

[@Tackleboys]

I loved the first dress you tried on! But.. I think the one you ended up wearing was the real winner. YOU.THE.REAL.MVP ❤️

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🗿💦stop it you !

[@Collectpeanuts]

Yes! The Snoopy Shirt!

[@RIVERGUTSxx]

[@KathleenIllustrated]

[@RIVERGUTSxx]

[@deboramccallum3987]

Me too, just chanced upon you. Love your personality..hey..no sleeping on the job whaddaya doin?

[@cyndybeller1306]

Trouble finding the right size? Welcome to my world😊watching your videos give me a can-do spirit. Time to dig out the sewing machine!

[@whispernaut]

I lovvvve all the music you're listening to in this video!

[@moriahs82119]

I really liked the black dress that you thought was too plain. I pictured it with those colorful earrings you got! How fun!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Looking back, I like it too! Love the idea of pairing the statement earrings with it!

[@feldthausen]

The pink and red zebra print number from thredup - soo cute!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Agreed! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ thanks for watching Kristen 🤍🤍🤍

[@nathalieast6179]

oooh clip-on 🤩😍 as a vintage jewelry reseller i always have to pause the video to check every items when i watch a thrift with me video ^^ cannot stop myself even when i take working break 😬

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Clip-ons are my KRYPTONITE!!!! If you have an online store, I'd love to check it out! Thanks for watching, Nathalie :)

[@elizabethbiederman8035]

That black dress was GORGEOUS on you!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

aw thanks elizabeth!

[@christinamann3640]

If you get invited to weddings sometimes, it might be worth shopping for fancy dresses to have a couple on standby. Those of us who thrift and shop vintage are not going to find the perfect thing right before we need it. It takes time, and lots of trips to the store.

[@33sugaD]

ahhh so excited!!! to watch. Hope you have a great party!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hey you! thanks! enjoy your week ⭐

[@kittiewoodheath4140]

OMG I know exactly where this is! It's my favorite place in all of Cbus!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yes!!!! That’s awesome ⭐️

[@SweetieSuzanne]

I feel your pain in the search for the perfect dress. 😔 glad you were comfortable with the one you choose in the end and those earrings are fantastic 🥰

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thanks suz! it all turned out a-ok in the end :)

[@rachel_was_here]

The green would have been fun if it worked for you. I think the gold sequence with black shapes before the "nah nah" dress could have suited the occasion but maybe it would have been too much/too hot... I also liked the silver micro pleat with the yoke belt. Glad you had a good time!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

it was so super cool to see allllllllllll of the different dresses from different decades! thanks for watching, rach 💜

[@greeneyedmimibostian3013]

So much fun

[@WayneSmith]

Little did you realize, you look amazing in all of them!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🥲 thanks friend!!! 💃🏻

[@MeridaEllaSDB]

The last minute hunt shopping has almost never worked for me. I assemble a list of social outings at all dress code levels of my circle: full black demure for funerals, black tie dark and black tie statement, christenings, Bar (Bat/ Benai ) Mitzvahs, Easter, Holy week, wine tastings, outdoor sports. From bathing suits to white tie, if I’m likely to be invited or want to attend a dress code: it’s on the year round hunt list. When I need to go somewhere, I grab the outfit for X dress code event in X season. I usually have a few choices. Of all the things I’m epic at last minute, finding a photogenic thrifted outfit in 24 hrs is not one of them!

[@fabiana_bdb]

I loved the orange and pink “tiger” one. Show stopper. But who knows how it would fit right?

[@fabiana_bdb]

It’s all about feeling comfortable and feeling yourself in an outfit to me at least..

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Totally agree, fabi! The measurements looked ok but… they did for the black dress, too 😂 thanks for watching!

[@mele9952]

I loved the all the interesting black ones! Did you send the one from thred up back or are you going to try to find another way to wear it?

[@KathleenIllustrated]

so many good options! I'll be sending it back, unfortunately 😭

[@panicfanzy]

Devastated that you didn’t choose the pink tiger dress that would be so perfect for a July wedding!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

it was the right call! TT_TT

[@KarenOBrien-f9r]

Wow i just checked out Thred up for the first time and the sizing seems... off, in a major way. How does a large size dress have a 29" bust? Did you shop by using their measurements or did you just buy your regular size

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I attempted to use the measurements and have been disappointed every time 😹

[@KarenOBrien-f9r]

I even tried looking for things two sizes larger like would when shopping China sites online and a 35" bust for 2x just doesn't seem right. That's not even my strap size 😂

[@NicolePalmervlogs]

Dr. Nut 😆😆😆

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Lmao can’t unsee

[@blessedbyheart7085]

I subscribe love your video 🙃

[@carlab525]

Love you style. I like it but I am not brave enough to express myself like you do. Enjoy the videos!

[@fannyvalentin8634]

🌟

[@amandalankford6958]

My heart breaks you didn’t get that black dress with the modest neck line my god it was made for you

[@st11ng]

you remind me of bee from bee and puppycat

[@KathleenIllustrated]

WOW thank you 🥹

[@MeridaEllaSDB]

I’m loving the thrifting in Ohio. LA is not this planet. It’s super niche that you thrift the stores i my area, but hey, joy all the same!

[@iliveinletters_]

Only you could call those earrings the statement piece while wearing actual zebra stripes

[@KathleenIllustrated]

lmao but aren’t zebra stripes… a neutral?!

[@ngkindig]

Whoa! You were in Columbus or from columbus!?!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Both! 😂
