Recommending Books Based on Secondhand Clothes! [CC]

[@POlivares23]

Kudos on coming up with such creative ways to recommend books.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you! The books as outfits trend was definitely an inspiration here 😇

[@dompishere3014]

Girl slay me with these dresses! That third one is stunning, especially with the lace. “Everyone needs a Donna Tart book in their life” I should start reading all her books that are on my goodreads tbr 😂 oooo if you love Frankenstein you’d love Penny Dreadful 👀 The Creature is my favorite character in that show. And I’m so intrigued about your WIP!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you!! Yess Tartt is amazing 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I really need to start watching Penny Dreadful D:

[@nherbooks]

“Everyone needs one Donna Tart book in their life” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Amen to that ✨

[@hannahcanreadsometimes]

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! Everyone does need a Donna tartt book to love!! 💜💜 ecstasy sounds really interesting whoa!! We do love Frankenstein in this house

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Donna Tartt books are the gift that keeps on giving

[@ChelseaZhao]

I love your videos where you recommend books based on things you wouldn’t necessarily think to pair with books! This reminds me of the book and outfit thing! Ooh! I love that black dress! ♥️ And that blue jumpsuit with that edition of Frankenstein! 😍🔥

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yes, this was definitely inspired by the books as outfits trend. Thank you 🙂

[@SWINDISATHEORIES]

Love the black dress-gives me Morticia Adams vibes. Based on your description, I'm really interested in Ecstasy. The cover is so pretty

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Ah yes, definitely! The cover for Ecstasy initially caught my eye too. I was so happy when it was just as brilliant on the inside as well. 😇

[@LanaFeyah]

I always love creative "Recommended Books Based on..." videos, and this is just the cutest version! You are somewhat temping me to try something like this as well (credit where credit is due, of course). And that black dress that you selected The Secret History for is magnificent!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you! I would love to see you do one too 😃

[@nherbooks]

AH THE JUMPSUIT YOU GOT FROM AUSTRALIA 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I am really hoping I get to my best friend exorcism soon! It sounds like the perfect book to read around this time year

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I hope you'll love it!

[@dancing-lawn]

Loooove the idea Olivia!! I've challenged myself to only buy clothes second hand this year and it's been such a wonderful journey :) That black lace dress 😍😍 I love anything with lace and it suits you so well!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

That sounds a lovely challenge and I am glad you're enjoying it! 🙂 Thank you!!

[@nherbooks]

I miss buying second clothes so much! I always find the coolest & super comfort woollen jumpers! I can’t wait for the op shops to reopen 🥺

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I miss them too :(

[@thewheelchairteen3058]

I loved seeing you model these clothes! You looked so cheeky and happy XD This was such a creative and interesting concept for a book video, I'm glad that you chose this one.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Modelling career here I come 😃 Thanks for helping me choose :)

[@bebella9005]

this is so creative aaaaaaa! and so many lovely clothes - that long-sleeved dress is gorgeous! I really wanna read The Secret History, Ecstasy and My Best Friend's Exorcism! And I loved Frankenstein back when I read it, but I barely remember it now... I think it's time for a reread 👀 Great video!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Eee thank you 🙂 I hope you enjoy all three of those books when you get to them!

[@anovelcuriosity]

This was such a great idea! I love secondhand clothes shopping too! The Secret History is one of my favourite books, so I really need to get to The Goldfinch soon!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay for thrifting! I hope you'll love the goldfinch just as much as you loved the secret history 😃

[@awanderingmind]

I want to start buying secondhand clothes! I hate supporting fast fashion. I love your creative ways of recommending books! Your outfits are so cute 😊

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Hopefully there are some good secondhand shops and stalls around you? And thank you x

[@vanessaajohn]

This is such a creative idea. Love the third dress!! I can’t do horror but My Best Friend’s Exorcism sounds great I might check it out

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

If you do end up giving it a go I hope it isn't too scary!!

[@FromJessToYou]

That black and white dress looks gorgeous on you! [EDIT] So you have THREE black & white outfits. SO .... I think you looked LOVELY in all of them but I think the first one was the gorgeous one. =0) But in truth ... you looked adorable in all of them. Thanks for sharing.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Haha yes, I love black and white when it comes to clothes! Thank you so much 🙂

[@Bibliofilth]

LOVE this video!! All the clothes are so cute, especially the first one! The pattern is so cute and the black accents add such a lovely shape to it.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you so much! 😋

[@KaylaRaeReads]

Oh my gosh! I love this idea! The Ecstasy dress looks so good on you!! I need to get to My Best Friend’s Exorcism! I read Horrorstör back in 2014 and haven’t read a Grady Hendrix book since then!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you so much! I liked Horrorstor so much too 😇

[@horror-sickness]

I am also buying now so much more second hand oroutlets instead of the typical fast fashion clothing stores. Love this video series you are making to recommend books based on items :) I also really love dresses because it is much easier to just put on and go than combining tops and bottoms Loved all the outfits soooo much 🖤🖤🙌

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay for enjoying buying more secondhand clothes as well. And yes dresses are so easy and nice to wear too 😋

[@LaurenAndTheBooks]

Loved this video, I love buying second hand clothes. Linking them up with books, LOVED IT!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Secondhand clothes are the best! Thank you so much 😇

[@confuzzledbev3862]

This is such a fun video. I loved all your outfits but especially the second dress. I've been wanting to read My Best Friend's Exorcism for so long!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you so much! Yess my best friends exorcism is amazing 🙌🏾

[@LetMeintheLibrary]

The Eleanor Oliphant and Secret History dress!!! You matched all the outfits so perfectly!! This is such a lovely idea!! 🥰❤ I'm about to start My Best Friend's Exorcism!!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay I'm glad you liked the dresses 😇 Hope you enjoy my best friend's exorcism x

[@LetMeintheLibrary]

@@OliviasCatastrophe it was such an excellent read!!! I loved it!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay!! 🙌🏾

[@gaiaathena-books]

What a great video!! I liked Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, yes I think she would like the stripey dress! Ecstasy sounds like an interesting read. I have My Best Friend's Exorcism on my TBR. I liked Horrorstör by the same author. Oh wow, I never realised it but now that you mention it, you do wear a lot of black and white clothes. All the clothes look so nice! How cool your current work in progress is a retelling of Frankenstein!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I can just imagin her wearing it. Horrorstor was so good but I though My Best Friend's Exorcism was even better! I hope you do like it. I have to admit most of my wardrobe is black, white, or dark shades of colour. With a few exceptions 😇

[@emmatobias6813]

such a cute idea! I love it - the Eleanor outfit was spot on!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you!! 😊

[@tinminutebookreviews5126]

You are ALWAYS matching something to books!!! So imaginative!!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Hehe thank you! It's always so fun 😇

[@coly15]

You are so creative! I love these videos!😁✨ 5:33 I love that jumpsuit! I still have yet to read my best friend's exorcism! I really enjoyed Horrorstor so I'm definitely looking forward to it! 7:06 WAIT WHAT. That's so exciting!!😮

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you" I hope you will enjoy My Best Friend's Exorcism just as much as I did 😇

[@louisity]

Another creative book recommendations video! 📚📹👗 Cool way to also film books and outfits. 👍📹👗📚

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you 🤗 It was fun to make!

[@bookwhimsy]

I love the outfits and pairings. Especially Frankenstein and the blue outfit. It’s cute and looks very comfortable.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you! 🤗 Very comfortable indeed!

[@WildeBookGarden]

The creative recommendation videos just keep coming! 😄💖 All these clothes are so cute and look amazing on you!! And the cover of Ecstasy is stunning!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I have been enjoying making them so very much! Thank you 😇

[@rasaslase]

Love all the dresses. They are so beautiful. The idea of this video is amazing. and very interesting books. I really enjoyed Frankenstein when i read it. and i need to read Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, I`ve had that book for way too long. My Best Friend’s Exorcism sound so interesting.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you" 😇 Frankenstein is so good and I think you'll love Eleanor Oliphant ^.^

[@hustleszn488]

i want to read eleanor oliphant is completely fine so badly haha (despite how sad all the themes you mentioned were)!! and interesting, i think i hear more ppl say they prefer secret history > goldfinch. I'm reading my first grady hendrix rn actually (but its the new one about the southern book club) so if i enjoy it I'll definitely add my best friend's exorcism to my tbr. Also this was such a creative vid, loved it!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I hope you’ll also really appreciate Eleanor oliphant!! Yeah, the secret history does tend to be more popular but 🤷🏾‍♀️ taking the unique route 😂 I hope you enjoy the southerners guide to slaying vampires!! I have yet to read it :3

[@elenathegreat]

i love thrifting and this is such a fun video idea! that black and white romper is so cute!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you! ✨

[@MargaretPinard]

LOVE this idea, LOVE your choices, reasoning and STYLE!! Get it! (first time visit, from Lauren Wade's rec 😄!)

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you so much! (And for hopping over to check out my channel ✨)

[@155books]

Another amazing recommendations video!! And I loved so many of the dresses but the black and white jumpsuit is 👌🏻💕

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Ah thank you! I love that jumpsuit so much 😇

[@LunaciaBooks]

Most of my favourite clothing items are second hand or hand-me-downs. This was such a fun video!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I love that 🙂

[@EveryoneWhoReadsitMustConverse]

You are very creative with your videos Olivia! This was very fun and cool. I love the Goldfinch as well, an awesome story so well told. The Aztec-y dress is so awesome! Excelsior!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yes, the goldfinch is amazing! Thank you 😇

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Such a creative idea, loved it! Frankenstein is one of my favourite classics!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Such a brilliant classic 😇

[@lostinabookbrb]

Love the dress that goes with the book Ecstasy! It's so pretty. Love your style.

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you so much! 😇

[@AbiofPellinor]

This is such a unique idea and I love it so so much! I love buying from charity shops but I don't buy as much clothing, I'm working on building that up

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Truthfully, I don't buy too many clothes either :P When you can buy books...

[@AbiofPellinor]

@@OliviasCatastrophe Exactly!!! I know where I'd rather spend my money hahaha

[@redheadreading]

I'm adoring all of these creative book recommendation videos you're exploring at the moment!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

They've been so fun to make as well 😇

[@readingthroughinfinity5377]

This is such a brilliant idea! You matched each outfit with each book so well! I'm also intrigued about your WIP now 👀👀

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you! I should really talk about my WIP more D:

[@readingthroughinfinity5377]

@@OliviasCatastrophe PLEASE 😃

[@nherbooks]

AHH I love how you have i included model shots 😍😍

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Yay, thank you!

[@ConnorStompanato]

i liked shopping secondhand in the usa cause they had cool mens stuff but i feel like in the uk its mostly old man clothes hahaha, so i just end up not buying clothes at all. those dresses were all so nice!! eleanor oliphant is one of my favourite books of 2020

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Not buying clothes at all oh no D: I hope the selection improves! I know there are definitely some areas secondhand clothes shops need to get better with. For example there seems to be a general size and it's hard to get plus size clothing as well :(

[@simantverma8895]

This is such a creative idea to recommend books. Loved it!! 💕

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Thank you!! 😊

[@nherbooks]

ELEANOR OLIPHANT 🤧🤧 that was the first book I read this year! I loved it too!!

[@nherbooks]

Have you read the Little Friend?

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

Eleanor was so good! I have The Little Friend but haven't read it yet and I have to admit... I am putting it off because after that there's no more Tartt books in the foreseeable future :3

[@novellenovels]

This is such a fun video idea and I loved Eleanor oliphant is completely fine 😊

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

I'm so glad! 😇

[@milkyboos]

i love your creative recommendation videos pls keep them coming 😭😭

[@milkyboos]

the way you’re modeling all the dresses and showing off the books like a game show host ??? legendary i remember loving the secret history as a teen and still wanna reread it now 👀 and kokoro sounds so interesting, adding it to the tbr !!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]
