Weird girl core is the aesthetic I never heard before watching this video but now have made it my entire personality.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Tbh idk if it’s a real aesthetic but my brain was like “this” 🤣 I feel like it’s just a combination of all the aesthetics with a dash of eccentric in there for good measure lol.

[@MijnWolden]

@@DressMeUpScotty I only just Googled it and apparently it's Bella Hadid's aesthetic. So yeah, I also Mean your brainfart 😅😂

[@julieette385]

You can find it all! My husband and I just found one of our big wishlist items that we thought we’d never find last night at Goodwill. A 1940s upright radio in working condition. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw it but it’s now sitting in our front room. Dreams do come true :)

[@DressMeUpScotty]

That is soooo cooool!!! ♥️♥️

[@angiemcadam65]

I keep a thrift ISO list on my phone. I'm always looking for handmade quilts and afghans and have decent luck with that. Also vintage jewelry and clothing. The big thing I'm currently looking for is a nice wooden dresser (not cheap ikea particleboard material). I'm always have my eye out for unique furniture and decor.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

A list on your phone is definitely a must! I like the idea of a visual list as well, someone mentioned a Pinterest board and that’s super helpful!

[@meganbc2701]

I so understand about the Fairy Books and I've been lucky and have 5 of them - the Folio Society 'expensive' editions, except that I've been given 3 as birthday presents and thrifted the other two for a few pounds. Constantly looking for others in the set. I just love them! Current thrifting goal is an armchair with footstool or a long armchair that I can pull my legs up onto in a DA asthetic. I will find it.

[@starshine1185]

The Lennox spice village is an absolutely huge set, and I want absolutely all of it. I've managed to find a utensil box and two taper candle holders. I actually spotted a spice rack with the cannisters in the wild before, but of course my local thrift shop auctioned it.

[@gracie9658]

I only started thrifting all my clothes in a style I like last year, after years of admiring people who dress vintage/hobbitty/like a forest child, so I still have plenty of things I want to find. Most important are : a waistcoat, anything gingham, a vintage looking plaid skirt, and some more blouses. It's gonna be a challenge because I only have access to one charity shop and sometimes an antique market which isn't the best for clothes, but last weekend I found an amazing long winter skirt with fancy buttons down the front and most importantly pocketses ! So I have hope. Edit : I would love a green velvet couch someday 😍 I saw a stunning one recently but I don't have anywhere to put it or money to buy it so...

[@DressMeUpScotty]

That’s going to be so fun thrifting for the style 🥰 it’s such an adventure.

[@sofapop653]

1:54 I think you can rent a truck from home depot for $20+ gas. There’s a hefty $150 or so deposit fee, but you will get that back. If the price of the couch is worth it, it can be a good option!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

That’s actually a really good idea!

[@lianapalumbo8457]

Oh if we lived in the same country I could give you my velvet couch. I got it because my cats, I had 6, were destroying my Nonna's club lounge so I stored that. But now I only have 3 and they're all elderly so sleep 22hrs a day. I'm looking for an antique buffet/credenza for my TV, an electrified antique oven, antique working fridge, a butler's sink preferably cast iron and an original 1850's entrance door, side lights and frame. I also need a few 6 over 6 timber windows. Then of course I'm always on the lookout of authentic homewares and decor from the 1800's. This is because my home was built in the 1850's and I've been taking it back to how it would've been then, minus the outhouse 😁. I think you'll find your items. They're waiting for you 😊 xx

[@DressMeUpScotty]

🥰 oh wow! An 1850’s home! That sounds so cool.

[@lianapalumbo8457]

@@DressMeUpScotty it's a Cobb & Co cottage, built for the postal wagon that would come through. They'd change the horses over. Most of the materials used to build the cottage were shipped over from England. The bluestone though is from around here. Massive rocks jut out of the ground. They keep the house so cool in our summers that we have never needed airconditioning. However in winter it's freezing. I still haven't managed to get the fireplaces and chimneys cleaned so my daughter and I walk around wrapped in heated blankets 😁. It doesn't snow here we just have ice and lots and LOTS of rain

[@emblarovardotter]

Also, my wishlist for the new year: - A beautiful as well as comfortable rockingchair - Some furniture for my new home (mainly chairs, a table and decor) - Whimsical hanging window lamps as well as desktop-lamps - Nice aesthetic storage - And an adjustable desk would be an amazing find! Oh and you've really gotten me interested in the world of vintage books as well!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

A wonderful list! 🥰

[@emblarovardotter]

I'm a collector of whimsical lamps so I really relate to your wishlist, right now I own a dragonlamp, a ladybuglamp and my latest find: a mushroom lamp! I was so excited when I found it because I had seen this adorable little mushroom Christmas village in a warehouse just weeks before but I don't buy anything beyond necessities new bc money and the environment etc so I had to pass it up. It felt like a sign that I did the right thing that the lamp appeared on my very next thrift trip! Also, I loved the idea of a bare big Edison bulb in your nightstandlamp, but I'm also excited to see what kind of DIY you have planned!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Omg that’s so cool! It’s like it was meant to be! That’s a good idea, the bulb. The DIY that I’m thinking won’t involve the lamp shade covering the light part that much so it would still work! I’ll have to get one.

[@neviathompson7341]

see one of my goals for 2023 are to actually thrift more and this video just *chefs kiss* like I could pull it up and be thrifting like "this is the cottagecore thrifting realness dreams ima be manifesting" while doing it, and I'm HERE FOR ITTTTTT hopefully get to 10k soon!!!! love the addition of home decor and knick knacks as well as clothes! idky but I feel like home decor is more fun to thrift or buy that's like cottagecore almost cause its more versatile and cute :}

[@RubysMusings]

The boots you want can be found through Halloween costume shops under witch boots.Also on Amazon under witch boots and Victorian boots ...so definitely may find thrifting... But good code words. Good prices on furniture at I think its called St. Paul's on Watt behind what was the old Wal-Mart... Well the next shopping center down. You already know I'm wanting Jean maxi skirts and if I found a Jean waistcoat.. Not just a Jean jacket with sleeves cut off. Also granny square vests,pull overs ,sweaters, etc a poncho is the unicorn in a granny square. Oh a hippie fringe purse big enough for phone, wallet,small makeup bag and my glasses..or a leather purse with the engraved flowers..yep I want all the late sixties early seventies vibe goodies..including a flower chain belt...I could go on but won't 😅

[@sofapop653]

1:24 oooof- hard relate! I’ve been trying to find a good velvet chair for over a year (!) for my stair landing. 😫 My local goodwill’s furniture is shorty at best, and the resellers show up at opening every day to swipe up the furniture! Any other local shops charge way out of my budget. 😢

[@emblarovardotter]

Omg i thought this would premiere tonight and got so bloody excited but oh well, I'll wait!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Haha oh nooo! Sorry lol. It’s coming Tuesday. If I can get a good work flow going I’m thinking that maybe every other week I’ll release 2 videos instead of 1. I’m editing a thrift with me and haul and I’m so tempted to release it this Thursday if I get it done 😂

My parents had a dusty pink velvet Victorian couch… so beautiful!!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ah jealous! Love that.

[@Zombiepixiestitches1981]

I use to work at West Elm/William Sonoma we use to get velvety retro 1920s ish style couches and chairs they were my favorite.

[@missgingerjones]

Yes!!! I need to brainstorm thrifted finds too. And I’m the same with the Victorian dream home LOL just need to manifest winning millions of dollars first

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Haha yeah I keep saying I’m gonna blow up on KZbin and make that Google coin 😆

[@catherineleslie-faye4302]

About 3 weeks ago I saw the vintage treadle sewing machine I wanted... had to leave it in the thrift store as I have no place to put it and it needs repairs. I am letting go of the modern stuff I don't use or need in my life... reaching for a faeriecore/hobbitcore lifestyle where I can.

[@TheatreTeacher]

I love your sweater! You look cute in it. I would look like a grandma.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ty! ♥️

[@hyakushiki100x]

I always go thrifting with a mental list of things. Its so satisfying when you find something its like your manifesting it into reality 🤩

[@DressMeUpScotty]

It totally is! ♥️

[@sofapop653]

I do the same sort of, I have a “thrift-spo” folder on my Pinterest and look through it before I thrift!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

@@sofapop653 I love that!!

[@SMILE-jj9ez]

It's quite rare to find such a comforting KZbinr like you, providing us with your calm and cozy thrift finds and feeding my thrift-addict of a mind but I was genuinely scared when you said "so many voices". I'm not sure why, but I was apparently 😆

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Omg haha 😆 well don’t worry, the voices are all me just thinking 10,000 miles per hour. Thank you!!! ♥️

[@emd4361]

I love your fox earrings!!!

Im iso pinafore dresses, spode china, modern corelle especially the pioneer woman set in blue. (I was considering the vintage Corelle but the company said not to eat off of anything older than 2005 for possible lead exposure from the glaze) utensil holder

[@sofapop653]

I’m iso nighties/slips, a nice jewelry box with many compartments/holders, a velvet armchair, super large knit cardigans, and platform loafers/maryjanes.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yess I’m also looking for slips and nighties. Good ones are hard to come by but worth it when you find a good one!

[@sofapop653]

@@DressMeUpScotty very hard to come by! I always find nice ones that are too small for me unfortunately!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

@@sofapop653 for me they’re always XL in my stores and I’m a S 😢or they’re worn out and not worth it.

[@sofapop653]

@@DressMeUpScotty I need the xls lol! It seems like what you need is always in another store! 😅

[@DressMeUpScotty]

@@sofapop653 omg lol so true! Well maybe one of these days a thrift swap will be in order 🤪

[@oddytea6945]

Don't know if it helps but pretty sure the flower floor lamp is from the 80s. I see them pop up a lot on fb maketplace for cheap. So hopefully that one wont be too hard to find :)

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ooh thank you! I’ve been looking online and there are different types of flowers, some are resold for a lot (I think the tulip one, where the flowers are facing downward). But I’m gonna keep looking in the thrift stores and on Fb marketplace.

[@suus3808]

Memery shoes has a lot of vintage reproduction shoes and they recently added some victorian booties like you discribed so if you cant find them in the thrift i reccoment checking them out :)

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Oooo thank you I’ll check it out ☺️

[@gothdad94]

yes i love memery shoes! also look at american duchess, miss l fire, and re-mix shoes. you can always find them secondhand on poshmark and ebay too :)

[@lurkkie9368]

My wishlist right now is: flower lamps, pretty art (like landscapes, fairy-esc, fantasy), fabric (so I can learn to sew/just to decorate my room), a ornate wall mirror because I saw a diy with moss and mushrooms I wanna recreate, any Anne McCraffery books (my dad introduced me to her stories so I've been helping with his collection), star wars books, and just cute knick nacks :))

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I did a moss, butterflies and mushrooms mirror diy last year, definitely recommend! 🦋 🍄🪞 the ung drill ikea mirror is perfect for that if you can track one down (they discontinued them bit you can sometimes find them secondhand).

[@thewhimsicalskeleton]

Can’t wait to see all the DIYs!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

🥰

[@thebarefoothobbit]

I have the Easton Press lotr set and every Tolkien related one they have produced so far they are expensive but worth it!

[@thebarefoothobbit]

I do want to make myself a dream list for what I want to thrift this year too that sounds fun

[@DressMeUpScotty]

They’re so beautiful they’re definitely gonna be on my list of things I wanna save for. But I will definitely welcome another edition from the thrifts if I can find them. I wanna collect different editions for sure. All of Easton Press’s books are so gorgeous!!

[@thebarefoothobbit]

@@DressMeUpScotty yeah I try not to buy them too much cause they are pricey but I also have the magicians and practical magic from them and they are also beautiful

[@aquaaurora2747]

I'm after a certain dimensioned table (or 2) for my sewing room so I can rearrange everything. Not particular on style/era but prefer pre1950s, wood.

[@gothdad94]

we have the same thrifting wish list and life goals lmao

[@ritalynb7070]

I have a pair of shoes that look exactly like your victorian boots but (obviously) don't have the shaft that goes up the leg. They lace up and both the heal and toe are the "right" shape....and they are black leather. I thrifted them for $16 and they are what I wear for a "vintage victorian" look....

[@DressMeUpScotty]

That’s so cool! I’m hoping I’ll be able to thrift a pair but if not I’ve saved some vintage remakes in case I get impatient haha.

[@Zombiepixiestitches1981]

It isn't really a Fairy book but it is Fairy Taleish it is called The Rainbow Goblins. When my Dad died it was one of the first things I grabbed I love the colors. I also have a set l liked that is colored like the Fairy books each color is about a different mythical being/creature ex. Gnomes, Unicorns. Some day I want a big Legend poster ❤ Tim Curry. Id love to share a pic of my Rainbow Goblins book, when my sister in law was pregnant with my oldest nephew we found a copy for him when we were going through our Mom and Dads he picked up the book and said I remember that book it made my ❤ so happy.

[@philurbaniak1811]

Honestly any impulse purchase that I can't resist 😅 But I would love to find Lalique glass out in the wild!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Haha I feel that. Impulse purchases are like 99 percent of my hauls. Or what I like to say “things I needed that I didn’t know that I needed” 😅😂

There is a Lenox spice set for sale in my area! $600. 🤷‍♀️ Pricey!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Yeah they’re a LOT. I’m hoping to luck out and find some at a local thrift hehe. Some day 😂

[@thecozyfeather]

yes! i'm on the hunt for a similar style to the couch but even more for a velvet tufted accent chair for my office! I had some of the lenox big houses for my kitchen before i moved internationally and left them with my brothers 😭 I'm hoping to find a bunch of cool antique knicknacks for my office shelf like glass decanters and stuff! Loved this video and the inspo!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I’ve been seeing some cool velvet chairs lately but the thrift stores want so much for them. There was a couple rolled arm burnt orange chairs at Salvation Army yesterday and they wanted $150 each 😭

[@thecozyfeather]

@@DressMeUpScotty bruh for real, everything I find near me is so expensive and the cheaper ones I love are always on the south island or at the top of my island lolol. I might just have to snag one while on a trip at some point lol

[@TheFeralFarmgirl]

New sub. Did you ever find those shoes/boots? What size do you need? I may have some in storage. I have so many shoes I don't wear. 🙈

[@JennsCorner777]

I've seen so many couches like the ones you want on Craigslist they would need reupholstering to have the complete look though.

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I’ve been stalking Craigslist too. I’m currently eyeing a burgundy one that has a matching chair. It’s $400 tho and in the SF Bay Area (a couple hours from me) but if it’s still available after we get our tax return MAYBE.

[@LS-um3zq]

What about a drop leaf table for the kitchen?

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I do like that idea!

[@lurkkie9368]

Your videos are always making wanting to go thrifting. I just never have enough time to go with my school and work schedule :(

[@DressMeUpScotty]

Ah man, well hopefully you’ll get some time to go soon♥️

[@frannygrace2191]

Okay, so what size do you wear in case I find the mushroom sweater? We have a lot of rich people in this area that donate to the thrift stores. I, of course, am not rich so all my clothes come from the local thrift stores but I have scored some great things! Also, I thrift with a good friend and as we are walking into the thrift store I tell her what I'm particularly looking for that day--and I sometimes find it immediately!

[@DressMeUpScotty]

I’m a S/M but sometimes in sweaters I wear a L because I like to disappear in them 😂 honestly if you come across one that would be amazing. Keep me apprised! 😁🥰 I appreciate it. I love that in the thrift community we keep an eye out for each other hehe.
