THRIFT WITH ME for spring vintage! I found a designer collection 👀💸 try on thrift haul 2023

[@Gus.Martin.Rollerblading]

You have to watch Kathleen’s videos at least 3 times to fully appreciate them. So many little details and funny moments 🎉

[@Bonnatella]

Agreed Gus 👌

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Dawww stop you two!’

[@au_barb]

That's so true.

[@NoOneWinsHere]

What an absolute DREAM the green Nina Ricci dress is! The green, the flow, the cut(s). The pee conundrum is real, as any true thrift royal will tell you. You’re fab!

[@jeanlinder1310]

That green Nina Ricci dress is a dream!!!!! It looked SO GOOD on you! I don't think that overlay at the top hit at a bad point; to my eye, the wideness it created at your shoulders made the fitted waist look even smaller. So pretty on you!

[@lilydale9997]

Just discovered your channel - came here from Beepworld, and immediately subscribed. You're just so fun to watch! I'm about to turn 50 and I'm FINALLY ready to embrace my quirkiness and have more fun with my clothes. The two of you are so inspiring.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

This comment warms my lil heart 💕 thank you so much for being here lily!!

[@rorysomethingorother164]

The LaCroix! 😭 Please forgive me if you know about this, but the main characters in the old British classic comedy Absolutely Fabulous were OBSESSED with LaCroix. I grew up watching reruns of it, and I credit that show (specifically the absurdist fashion of Edina) with my maximalist tendencies. I'm so glad it found its way to you.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

i did NOT KNOW THIS. hahaha i just looked it up.. so good. "it's LACROIX, sweetie". amazing.

[@shelliblah830]

You should really check that series out Kathleen, it’s a roaring laughter good time.

[@astoops8821]

Same! I yelled out loud “LaCroix Dahling!!” I loved Eddie’s unfathomable yet extremely enjoyable ensembles! I have the box set of that show and still watch it a lot. ❤❤❤😂

[@alias3660]

I love finding Ab Fab appreciation in the wild!

[@sacrefrenchie2132]

my friend and I have genuine dreams of going to thrift stores in America (we're in London) and your finds in this video, and Pharrell playing, is just confirming those dreams are founded. It also warms my heart that someone else out there describes things as "horrific" but also needs them.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

:) haha

[@nikkipepper787]

Christ on a Cracker the Green Nina Ricci dress was STUNNNNNING!!!!! Never peed my pants in a thrift but pretty certain I've given myself a bladder infection/UTI from holding it WAYYYY too long whilst shopping

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Nikkkki!!! Thank you isn’t it so CRAZY?! 💚💚💚✨ also, we truly fight through the trenches for these thrift finds 🫡

[@jenniferbrungardt9439]

So glad you got the plaid jacket! When I saw you try it on, I was like yes! I love a print mix like that and it's cropped. So cute. And the green dress looks amazing on you. I live in NYC and I have thrift dreams of thrifting in faraway states where there's a designer rack with an Ungaro jacket for $20.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

come to the midwest!!!! we have treasure!!!!!!!! hehe thank you for watching jennifer - i appreciate ya!

I live around that area in Michigan, so it was super exciting seeing you thrift at the thrift stores I thrifted at 😃 Also, Atomic Coffee in downtown Royal Oak is **chef’s kiss** delicious 😏

[@foxcaty]

The youtube algorithm has really been blessing me with fashion and art content lately, I'm so glad I found this channel! Kathleen you're hilarious, you have a personal style that's right up my alley, and you live right around the same region I'm moving to soon, which means I'll probably hit up the exact same thrift stores one day.

[@stephanieg2000]

"oooh look, a pee pee hole" I died laughing, had actual tears, had to rewind it and watch that again! Instantly subscribed for more of this thrift store commentary! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Thanks Stephanie!! 😭💦

[@styleago-go3028]

I love the green ruffly Nina Ricci Dress!! So fun! I am also obsessed with the bolero and am so glad you got it. I feel like a lot of people these days don't know about Ungaro!

[@emmy8526]

Always beautiful collections in their heyday!

[@linawells5857]

Yes please, looking forward to a ”that is nice but too fancy for me I have nowhere to wear that”-video

[@myhandsaslanguage]

Your videos are so fun and make me feel at home. Our styles are distinct from each other, but they overlap just enough that it feels like I’m stretching my ideas of what you can combine into an outfit if you’re confident and go all out. You’ve inspired me to try and look out for random thrift stores next time I go on a road trip. :)

[@agentgirl0205]

Art teachers DO do those!!! PLUS, it's one of the only times we go to work without the threat of destroying our cute clothes, so you are most likely to see an art teacher turning a look at parent night. and I be turning thrifted looks every time! Thanks for the inspo!

[@sourdough6653]

I’m dying to know more about what you said at 13:44 about not having anywhere to wear things

[@KathleenIllustrated]

oooo I’m glad it piqued your interest! Adding it to the video docket 🗒️ thank you for watching 💋💋💋☺️

Thanks for the tips on how to style a fancy dress to look more casual. There's a dress at a local thrift store that is super nice. I want it, but didn't know how to make an every day look.

[@KathleenIllustrated]

!! Ok adding this topic to the upcoming video list! Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@sueramirez5906]

LOVED these pieces ! You scored big time. And yes , I also have ALMOST peed my pants at a thrift store. I need to stop drinking coffee before I go there .

[@KathleenIllustrated]

you have to almost pee your pants at the thrift store to become an official pro-thrifter. it's in the rule book 😈

[@shellisannes464]

The Nina Ricci green dress and Ungaro piece has to be the best you ever scored 🤩

[@Artseequeen321]

I’m sorry just have to stop and say I LOVE the music you use. So cute and plucky and relaxing

[@yesthatbrittany1880]

You remind me of me before I got old and jaded. Lol I used to go thrifting and to yard sales with My Nanna when I was young. That is some of my core memories and great ones. I also worked at a thift store... this is making me wanna start my own thrifting channel. Your GREAT!! Always keep doing what you do and being your Wonderful self!! ❤❤

I can't believe you had to go all the way back to Ohio to pee! What a crazy world we're living in 😁 Loved seeing that sweater outfit you wore to the thrift stores! I lub it 💞 Those flame toe oxfords were the find of the season. They remind me of a pair I got from Delias back in the day. They were black with with red/orange/yellow flames. I wore those babies till they fell apart 🥹 sweet memories! I look forward to running into you at a thrift store one day ✌️✨🧚‍♀️🌸

Omg!! I just found your channel through your collab with beepworld. And the very first video of yours I watch after that - you GO TO MY THRIFT STORE!! What the heck 😳 That's literally *THE Value World* I go to on a regular basis. I'm shook! Had to pause to comment this. Now back to the video... Can't wait to see what you found 🥹 I have scored some of my very favorite finds at that very store!

You’re kidding me!!! It’s SUCH a great store, you lucky lil’ thang. What a small world! The thrift gods have brought us together 🥰💚

Faev pieces were the 1) green slime dress and 2) black dress with the giant collar. Also, the designer rack… never gonna happen in Denmark. Ever. So jelly!

I could watch you go thrifting for hours… and I kind of slowly am (in a non-creepy way hehe). Love your style and the potential you see when you’re thrifting it’s gotten me inspired to give British charity shops a chance again! Normally just go for the bric-a-brac section but I’m going to lean some attention to the clothing again 🎊✨

Lacroix, sweety! Ab Fab is a hilarious British sitcom from the early 90's - definitely worth a watch if you like OTT characters and fashion! Or put 'Ab Fab - - Lacroix, sweety' for the iconic clip, but it helps to know the characters...
