Please do more of these comparison videos. You both were great together. Thanks for taking us through San Fran thrifting.

[@suertecitaful]

sandie lindemeyer I absolutely loved them together!!! Great chemistry and KNOWLEDGE!!!

[@JamieConn]

Oh that yellow-orange coat is amazing!!!

[@christaclemons1455]

Jamie Nicole and collectible 🌹

[@jw6153]

Hope to see you how you style all of clothing you thrifted.....really wanna see that 💕

[@scoobythetalkingdog9363]

Erica i literally was screaming thru the phone get the coat with fur...You got everything i loved...Can't wait to watch a video of you styling outfits...❤❤❤

[@TinyAcorn]

😂😂😂 Yay! Glad I didn’t disappoint you by not getting it! Lol

[@shortlilma125]

The vintage denim shirt and the “orange/yellow” coat 😍😍😍

[@tracyeast3397]

I actually had that blue shirt with the ruffles back in the late 70's early 80's and wish I hadn't given it away.

[@TinyAcorn]

You did?! Oh man it’s so cute. You must’ve been one stylish lady!

[@isabelcode.hello50]

Oh that first coat you got at The Salvation Army is a dream! Definitely MY sort of coat :)… but speechless when you got the orangy one! And the button situation.... perfect! Buy the ones you like, a lot of times I tend to change them and the coats end up looking so much more unique and expensive! OMG, great finds. Well done Erica.

[@TinyAcorn]

Any tips on where to buy buttons online?? I’m having trouble finding ones I like.

[@isabelcode.hello50]

@@TinyAcorn I'm afraid the best way, for me, it's a trip to the haberdashery. I can try the buttons on the coat and see if they're going to fit through the holes, and if the colours will work together, if the style goes, etc. Also check other jackets or coats you already own, the buttons might be already there! If still no luck and you can wait, wait for 'The Ones', or buy anything in the same or similar colour so they go unnoticeable until you find what you're looking for. I do hope this helps Erica. And good luck :) PS, if you finally find the buttons you're happy with, please don't forget to share it in Instagram, I'd love to see the coat finished. Thank you.

[@j-lyn8983]

I’m so glad I found your video! I’m planning a SF thrifting day soon and this video helped me make my list of stores to visit! Thanks for listing them and loved your rating system!

[@TinyAcorn]

Oh that’s awesome!!! You’ll have a great time!

[@AvaLynne]

This was fun to watch! You guys should definitely do more collabs in the future!

[@TinyAcorn]

I would LOVE to! Abby brings so much spunk and energy!

[@goldfishsnake]

I live in SF and have been to all of these except the last one. The Geary St. S.A. prices are def all over the place, I've never found much there. I rarely go to Haight St because the prices are high, but Held Over tends to be a bit more affordable, it's similar to L St in NYC. Community Thrift, you're totally right, it's not something to seek out but just if you happen to be walking by type of place, prices aren't bad but it's pretty sparse and not a ton of merch inside. I tend to frequent the smaller Goodwills like Hunters Point 3rd St and Daly City Mission St. There's also a Goodwill "Boutique" in West Portal that is small, well-organized, and tends to have nicer brands, so the prices are higher but the stuff is better quality. There's a nice upscale vintage in Hayes Valley called Ver Unica, it's small and more expensive but verryyy nice items. I'd also recommend trying some of the smaller thrift stores in the Mission, they come and go over the years but there are good items to be found at the more boutique-y places on Valencia and Mission St. Overall SF is not my fav city to thrift in, if you're really looking for a haul East Bay and South Bay are better. "Hella Jam" on youtube does great east bay hauls!

[@cindymcintyre3092]

This video was a lot of fun. You guys did well together. I think you had the coat color right in the first place when you said marigold.

[@saraleecoleman4427]

Not enough time to explore at each store. Many resellers spend hours at each store. Great video! Fun finds. Whimsical scores!

[@odeliacabrera6125]

I really love that Black Backpack there was a good find love your videos

[@annarehbinder7540]

That Tangerine coat is that raw silk, Seriously looks like it!

[@amber0517]

is the yellow coat lilli ann???? if so you just hit the jackpot-- they are big time vintage

[@TinyAcorn]

It is!!! 😃

[@saraleecoleman4427]

@@TinyAcorn I knew it was a Lilly Ann

[@melodylin5058]

Thank you! I've only been to Goodwills in SF! I'm going to try Salvation Army now too!

[@bjonesstyle]

Also.. the denim ruffle shirt is SO GOOD!

[@TinyAcorn]

I know! 😭😭😭

[@suertecitaful]

Halfway thru this vid and I don’t want it to end!!!! So good!!!! ❤️

[@TinyAcorn]

I know! We wanted to go to more stores but the video would’ve been so long!

[@hollyhrywnak2478]

I love that Tangerine coat-- the texture of it is so amazing! So unique!

[@isabelcode.hello50]

Here in the UK we mostly thrift at charity shops and some have gone up on price lately (in my opinion) but at least if something is a bit overpriced you know the money goes to a good cause. That actually helps me to decide quicker if I really want something or not, but it still needs to worth the high price though. Thank you for taking us around Erica

[@TinyAcorn]

That’s a really good point! It does help if you know that your money is going to a good cause.

[@bjonesstyle]

Love watching y'all thrift it up!! I love the idea of going quickly through all the stores! Such a fun concept and a great guide to SF thrifting!! Yay!

[@TinyAcorn]

Thank you! It makes me want to do one for every city I visit! 🤞🏼

[@BC-rq1hd]

I can’t believe you passed on that gorgeous white embroidered dress 😱 it looked amazing on you

[@PretzelBubba]

Woooooaaah, that was the most drool-worthy video yet, Erica! SO many great finds at the best places!!!!!!!! I would've started to hyperventilate out of excitement, LOL. That Lilli Ann coat is UH-MAZE-ING. Looks so well made and what a color. I was like, "That's an Erica top!!!!" when I saw the vintage denim ruffle top, aka your find of the day!!! Watching this was like going on a treasure hunt with you both. I l-o-v-e your channel! And I love the soothing, familiar "Tiny Acorn" music you always play in your videos! Can't wait to see how you style everything in a future video! :))))

[@cindymcintyre3092]

Pretzel4111 Bubba1 I love that soothing Tiny Acorn music too!

[@PretzelBubba]

Yes! I'm glad she keeps it the same! So familiar now when it starts playing 🤗

[@nadjak3410]

@@PretzelBubba Nah I don't like the songs. Especially the second track she plays during the lookbooks. This I kind of hate actually 😅 idk I will enjoy the lookbooks on mute

[@TinyAcorn]

Aw thank you for such great feedback! I’m glad you enjoy the music. It’s always something I am trying to get better at. It’s very hard to find good music that is royalty free! Thankfully I do have a friend that makes some of my music. ☺️

[@annab5878]

That blue shirt is fab! Love the coats too 💛

[@nadjak3410]

The leather coat with the fur though😭 beautiful

[@joymejia1272]

THANK YOU...i am new in SF... need to budget things for shopping... God bless!!

[@TinyAcorn]

I hope that you love living in SF! Happy thrifting! Thanks so much, God bless you too!

[@Zblandfill]

Community Thrift is really hit or miss. Sometimes you go there and walk out with the most AMAZING haul and other times you're lucky to find a belt in your size.

[@4Distractiononly]

Upside of thrifting in big cities is that there are unique pieces and more vintage. Downside is the prices are much higher and thrift culture in downtowns can also make places picked over earlier and overly cutated. I like suburbs of big cities.

[@TinyAcorn]

TOTALLY! I felt like the Goodwill on Haight was more like a cheaper vintage store. It was not thrift prices in my opinion.

[@BlazedAndGlazed]

Okay, this is totally fabulous ahhh loved it!!

[@TinyAcorn]

😝

[@AmyMarks]

My favourite thing Abby bought was the vintage shirt she tried on with your jeans - so good on her! My favourite thing Erica bought was the denim frilled shirt but it was hard to pick! Loved watching this, love both your different styles ❤

[@TinyAcorn]

Yessss that blouse was so cute on Abby! Thanks for watching! 😘

[@lauramarazzi1012]

Love this video! So happy to see that you guys were making a video together! So fun! Can't wait to see how you style your items!

[@takadoshika5]

@@TinyAcorn I though so. Cannot wait to see more. I really enjoy the lookbooks a lot🤗

Wow there's a great selection of secondhand shops in San Francisco. I am guessing it's because it is a city. Wish there were a few around my area. Btw I love the clothes you got especially the coats :)

I’m from Chicago and I’ve been thrift thing for many many years I feel over here the best are the Salvation Army the Goodwill’s the prices are too high over here people are not that into vintage clothing wear so I really get to pick a lot of stuff for myself that other people overlook my gain I’ve always been into vintage wear thank you for sharing

Erica, do you curl your hair? Would love to know how you get your loos curls pls. Forever jealous of American thrift stores!

[@TinyAcorn]

Aw thanks! Yes I do curl it with a 3/4 inch curling iron away from my face. Then pull the curl down so it’s more of a wave and not so bouncy. Hope that helps!
