I'm brainstorming for 2023! What kind of vids would you like to see in the future?

[@lonnielove8452]

I'd love to see more thrift flipping videos! Oooo and painting videos! I see that easel lurking in the background 👀😄💗

[@kompsognat]

I love your vibe in whatever you do and I think you balance the thrifting, crafting and other things well 💚 My favorite video was the one with creepy clowns 😄 I would love to see maybe some antiquing (?) and home decor content ☺️

[@juliagrummel8884]

More art!

[@juliagrummel8884]

More everything!

[@seanaepley3180]

I'm a Scorpio, November 3rd! *A Stitch-Along series would be fun! *More DIYs and sewing in general *Thrift swaps, maybe a swap with a fan/viewer (could be a contest) *Drawing, painting, art

[@unicornsteaks]

Wow. A literal jean jacket. What a time to be alive!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

😳 really makes you think, huh.

[@Delkb89]

Incredible finds!! Personally I would leave the white leather jacket alone until I get bored of it then I’d 1000% do some art on it!🎉

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yessss this is the road I think I'm going to go down!!! Thanks for watchin', friend :)

[@juliagrummel8884]

❤❤❤ Love the leather trench!! You can clean leather with coconut oil!

[@katinrollins9995]

Shit, is that truueee?!

[@au_barb]

You were absolutely meant to find that pants jacket, it's like it was just waiting for you to come along! And you should definitely paint the leather trench. I'm very hyperfixated on thrifting right now so more thrift content in 2023 please! Oh and hey I'm a Gemini! 🙋

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aye aye! More thrifting videos coming up, my lil' gemini friend!

[@linawells5857]

Paint it! 👏 In 2023 I want more of the same. Thrifting and artsy DIYs. Good stuff!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Got it, Lina! Thank you for watchin' :)

[@tomboyz151]

Definitely paint that leather trench coat!! You could make it look soooo much cooler! 🤍

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Hehe!!!!!! Thanks tomboy!

[@ilseruwalder1499]

I think you can do some cool designs on that jacket, so paint it! I love to see your artwork. I bought way to much stuff at the thrifstore this week... it´s so addictive...

[@emmy8526]

I’ve thrown many a vintage leather item in the wash (clothes, shoes, bags) with only a little laundry liquid on cold, then flap out to unwrinkle and air dry. I mean, cows can stay outside in the rain, right? If needed, hang up in the sunshine on a not-too-warm day for further unscenting and/or leave paper bags of baking soda in the pockets and hanging from the hanger top when you store it.

[@mgw9127]

You should see if you can clean up the white leather jacket first, it’s such a beautiful vintage piece. If it doesn’t work out then possibly do some sort of artsy project.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

love this idea!

[@styleago-go3028]

YESSSS...I'm so excited. As soon as you pulled out the white trench at the store I was like, get it....paint it!!!! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

muahahaha do we have the same brain?! maybe >:)

[@tara1638]

Girl! you scored!!! That denim shirt coat is amazing! And the trench is epic. I get the jackets thing I live in Buffalo and have a million! Ps you can put leather in the wash! Wash on delicate and air dry! ❤❤❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

omg yessss Buffalo is perfect for jackets n coats n layers galore!

[@jeanhodge9876]

I think painting the white leather trench is the way to go! Not sure about a design might have to think about that .

[@MsBlueangel1989]

I think hand wash the white leather Jacket and if the stains don't come out then go to town painting it!! Keep the thrifting and DIY video's coming. I would love to see a closet tour, room tour and some collection video's. Like a sweater collection, jewellery collection, art work collection and a clown core, 80's and Japanese street style lookbook would be cool!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thank you for all of the lovely ideas!!!!!!!! I definitely like the idea of collection vids - I personally really enjoy watching them!

[@magpie06]

I'm a Scorpio too! In fact, today (Nov 6) is my 66th birthday! Yah! Love the cool upside-down-pants-pockets + doily-collared denim jacket...totally unique. Love the white leather trench! Must've cost a pretty penny in it's day. I believe in you! You'll get her all cleaned and smelling pretty, I'm sure. The dress is divine and is, indeed, a perfect fit. ♥

[@KathleenIllustrated]

omg happy happy belated birthday, Cindy! I hope it was lovely and exciting and fun. and thank you for the support on the jacket!!! with all of these helpful comments, I think I know where to start as far as cleaning goes :)

[@desertvibes6080]

OK lotsa leather jacket thoughts from me: scully is a really great western brand! I would add a lacey or tulle fun hemline to make it longer and attempt to deep clean it first. Despite popular belied, leather can go in the washing machine if you are very careful! And those are my thoughts. Also that green velvet dress was awe inspiring. K love ya xoxo

[@KathleenIllustrated]

That is really cool to learn about Scully, thank you! I totally believe it about the washing machine. I think what usually bites people in the butt is when they put stuff in the dryer. I basically air dry all of my clothes 😆. Wasn't that green dress amazing? Sigh. I'll keep an eye out for more holiday dress goodness

[@DizzyLizziePop]

I think live with the white leather jacket for a bit. When you get tired of it you could paint it!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Love this idea, E

[@lonnielove8452]

(in Wreck it Ralph voice) I WANNA WRECK IT!! I was hoping you'd get the leather jacket and paint over the "rough" spots🖌️🥰

[@KathleenIllustrated]

LOL. That quote runs through my head alllllllllll the time. You get me!

[@Tierneylister]

actually the best jacket ive ever dreamt of....

[@Tackleboys]

What I’m looking AT is.. YOU becoming a KZbin star right before my very eyes 🤩 Btw, I think the white trench would be sweeeeet with some paint on it ❤

[@KathleenIllustrated]

😭 my beegist fan!!!

[@jennmrn75]

I want to see more thrifted, styling and fabulous DIY videos!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

You got it, Jenn!

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

Pants jacket is awesome!

[@joshgonzalez3029]

I love the white trench and I would leave it as is…but like go get it cleaned by a leather person maybe (if such people still exist?) but anyways yea I gasped cuz I thought you left it and then I got so excited when you popped it back on cuz that’s my fav piece of this haul! So many possibilities!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Ahh I'm glad you see the potential!!!! I'm inspired to work on getting in cleaned this week. Thank you for the reminder 💕 (and for watching!!!)

[@kywire._]

I say paint it

[@rachelelekes4302]

Kiwi shoe polish brand just came out with white (changed my life) and it would totally clean up that leather jacket FYI :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

oh SNAP that is great to know!!!! it's amazing what a lil' polish can do. thanks rachel :)

[@SweetieSuzanne]

I vote to paint the jacket. You only live once 😊 all fun finds as usual ❤

[@AnaMaria-gu6po]

Outfits for fall and winter 😊 you have a lot of fun coats we can have some inspo

[@misspeaches3866]

I def want to see you paint that jacket! And I would love to see a video on that ;)

[@shannonnegley9576]

I'm so glad to see someone else have a cart that is stacked to the gills with stuff when thrifting, because no one else in the store has their carts stacked like I do and it makes me self conscious 🥲

[@erintobiasz]

Paint it!

[@Thewindupbirdx]

I loved watching you change regular art to spooky art. If the idea inspires you, I think it would be adorable if you made some of those creepy grandma figurines that are always at the thrift (you know the ones), into a beloved character from Studio Ghibli or Nintendo or whatever gets your goat. OR you can find a willing victim in your life to thrift for and style in your branded fun and funky way. I found your channel by chance, but now I’m rooting for you to get a million subs even though I’m a 33 yo lady in NY and probably should be thinking about taxes or something instead. Hope you have a glorious day and you don’t get any side eye from those deer outside ❤

[@killashandrabarnett5483]

Customize!!

[@Quathryn]

You were destined for that jean jacket!! and WOW that little flower sweater!🌻 That leather jacket needs some paint for sure. What about coordinating it with the morning star flail purse? Hmmmm 🤔

[@KathleenIllustrated]

quath..... you may be ON TO SOMETHING. Weapon coat comin' atcha 👀

[@Quathryn]

@@KathleenIllustrated 💖⚔✨

[@katharinewilliamson2478]

Oh, I did love that little short red leather jacket. I guess he was a leeetle bit too small, but needs to button up a leather jacket anyway? 😅

[@madeleineclement2764]

customizing that jacket would make such a fun video !

[@KathleenIllustrated]

agreed, madeleine!!!!

[@lindaauld5423]

You got some great stuff !!! i think the white leather trench is fire left as it is , very "Suicide Blonde " . All my jackets and coats are vintage or thrifted , they are the best 😀

[@KathleenIllustrated]

it's such a classic jacket!!

[@Aloha8780]

I love the jean pants jacket! So unique. Wonderful score!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

thanks heather!!! :o

[@Elizabeth-tr8xi]

Great minds think alike! I was thinking painting on it from the get go, it needs to be done! :)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe!! 🧠🧠 thanks for watchin, elizabeth!

[@mele9952]

I think you should paint the leather trench!

[@mandy833]

The denim jacket is so cool, happy to see you picked that up. I was yelling into the screen to grab it.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Heheeee your yelling helped!

[@melissarozalia]

Again Kathleen love your video Girllll🥰👌

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe thanks mel!

[@winterlighthome]

Those Bellini loafers at the beginning. In either size 7.5 or size 8. Please. Pplleeaassee..... *begs the universe for thrifty magic*

[@orangespiderz]

Would you ever consider a house tour? Your house looks so cool, but I definitely understand if it’s not something you want to share :) I love your thrift videos and seeing your finds, keep ‘em comin. Would also like to see more art related vids❣️

[@MelliaBoomBot]

Im a new subby, so a bit late to the video. White leather coat, maybe you have done something already lol, will have to go thru your vids..but I had a pair of white stilletos once and just flicked paint all over them but do envisage an uneven diamond pattern to give depth and angles. Quite labour intensive. Just amazing thrift shops in the US.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Oh FUN. I love that! Thanks for watching, my friend :)

[@louisabarton6994]

Lab jacket core is that a thing?

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Lol! Mad scientist meets tortured artist??? I like it.

[@TeamNinjaCaptain]

Wipe it down with coconut oil, turn it inside out and sun that bad boy to get the funk out. Wear it a bit just white and then paint it. Best of both worlds.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

great idea! love it. I'm definitely leaning towards the "wear it til you're bored" option :)

[@tracyhuckaby5876]

I don't think I would paint the leather jacket. Great finds.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Fair enough!!! Thanks for watching Tracy :)

[@nicolafrost8026]

Paint it plz ❤

[@cathyclark5791]

Late but here it is November20th . Scorpio.

[@kathahahn20]

Leave the leather coat as it is! Sometimes an outfit needs a withe piece to shed light on all the patterns

[@ritalynb7070]

The denim coat - it is clear where you are wearing it while thrifting that it is constructed from old jeans..... You can clearly see the "Lee" label on the back lower edge during the thrift! The white leather coat.....if it were me, I would have it professionally cleaned so it wasn't crusty and then decide if it needed a DIY 🤷 that's just me ...

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe you're right! good eye 👀 thanks ritalyn!

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

Thanks for making these videos. They've been keeping me entertained whilst I'm bedridden like a Victorian woman 😂

[@mandyr5896]

I think it would be really cute to paint the trench. You could always start small with a border and go bigger if you liked the result. The peplum dress is amazing. Pure 80s. I also really liked the sheer patterned pants. I think they would have looked good with a graphic tee.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

I like that idea, Mandy! Just do a lil' bit before goin' all out... it's a smart plan :)

[@Hattemis]

P A I N T I I I T ! !

[@reyfierce7567]

Customize the jacket! 🧥

[@KathleenIllustrated]

hehe!!! so tempted!!

[@lildarkness92]

What if you use a paint that's not permanent? So that you can change it whenever you want to?

[@KathleenIllustrated]

oh iiiinteresting! I like it :)

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

I'M A SCORPIO TOO 🤩✌️🌈

[@lorienpatmore3520]

I recognized the pants masquerading as a jacket in the thrift store. Sneaky pants. Also, my vote is, paint that puppy of a crusty leather jacket. I was thinking that when you first mentioned the stains

[@KathleenIllustrated]

LOL the idea of painting a crusty puppy just made me laugh. Thank you for that!

[@tanyahudson2156]

Paint

[@knowdanielle]

The amount of amazing outwear you found makes me miss living somewhere that actually has seasons. Do I still buy a million jackets just in case I someday do live somewhere cold again.. of course I do 🤷‍♀️😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ha! of COURSE you do! It's inevitable! I did the same thing when I lived in San Jose. Just can't resist a good jacket, ya know?

[@knowdanielle]

@@KathleenIllustrated i live in Sacramento! There is no weather here.. but the jacket buying is indeed.. inevitable 😂

[@Fletcherrr94]

6:10 Giving jenna marbles vibes 😊😂

[@katieyager4860]

Paint it 🤣🤣

[@bluejay_jay7534]

You could paint the white leather coat…. white? Would cover the stains and keep it “pristine” 🤍

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Boom! Like it never even happened

[@greeneyedmimibostian3013]

Turn the leather jacket inside out Spray the lining with cheap vodka . And let it air out .. no kidding. It will kill the germs and no odor

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ooo great idea!

[@bxxx7180]

Might want to shake a jacket out before you try on. I was looking at a sweater yesterday and a giant roach jumped onto me 😳😢

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ahhHHHHHHHHHH 🐜

[@studiomelzig]

Leeeave the leather trench alone and find yourself a fabric trench to paint on

[@cltinturkey]

Very late to this party . . . What did you do with the leather coat? I was going to suggest cleaning the bejeebers out of it first. If it looked great then, leave it alone. If the bejeebers wouldn't leave it, you could start with a CLEAN blank canvas and turn it into a masterpiece. In summary, bejeebers are BAD, masterpieces are GOOD. Curious minds want to know . . .

[@yogamom1898]

You are freaking hilarious

[@KathleenIllustrated]

LOL glad you think so! 💕✨

[@louibeans]

LEAVE THE LEATHER JACKET ALONE! At least my brain yelled that when you debated painting it. Also hi, I'm Sam, I'm so happy my youtube randomly suggested your video to me on a Monday morning and my sleepyhead decided to click on it. I love the victorian doll/rodeo clown vibed ex pants denim jacket! The dress IS super cute on you. The white leather jacket is my personal fav, I am very jelly and now tempted to put it on my bucket list of thrift finds (which is very long). Rip. Edited to add: I'm a Virgo, not a Scorpio. Sorry 😇 Hope we can still be friends

[@KathleenIllustrated]

haha! I'm so glad you have a strong opinion about the jacket! PS. Hi sam!!! welcome I'm so glad you clicked on my lil' ole' video! Now you can never leave 👻 Would love to know what else is on your thrifting bucket list!!!!

[@greeneyedmimibostian3013]

Paint the jacket

[@jeanlinder1310]

If it's real leather, saddle soap will help clean the white trench. If that doesn't clean up the blemishes, then I say get you some leather paint and have at it!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thank you Jean! That's a great tip.

[@streetsh1]

Since you asked, my vote is paint the jacket 🎨🖌

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Noted! Thanks for watchin' Shayna :)

[@Thewindupbirdx]

Whoops i thought this was a newer video lol

[@TheThriftedApothecary]

Try white leather paint on stains first? Paint the leather!!!!!!!!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

ohhhh I like that idea!

[@fannyvalentin8634]

🌟

[@klaraandersson5240]

CUSTOMIZE!
