You are such a breath of fresh air, tired of the expensive hauls from girls who are going broke over fashion. I forget the quote you said Lol but you were exactly right! You can buy all the high end designers you want but if you really can dress, you can put together anything at any price and give a look. Love the vlog!

[@shanekae]

🗣️thank youuuuuu; fashion truly has to be in you and not on you. I definitely shop within my tax bracket. We gone stay down until we come up. And even when we come up, we will forever slide into the thrift store. 🥰

[@nopressurenodiamonds5566]

@@shanekae I say thats right! lol me too!

[@sunosuno2001]

I re entry began watching your channel. I am happy I did. I love your style. The fact that you thrift is everything. You have motivated me to get back to dressing up and being more intentional about my clothing choices. Since I don’t work any more, I tend to not put that much into what I wear. Only when I go out with my husband. Back in my 20’s I used to always dress up no matter what day of the week it was. Just seeing the examples of what can be worn just to run errands, really got me to thinking. I am 48 and I want to stay on trend but not look like a teenager. You have done an amazing job showing examples. Keep the videos coming😊

Thank you so much. I appreciate you 💕 Stay Tuned‼️

[@keniaperine6377]

Hey Shaneka, you scored really nice today. Loved everything! 👍🏽 I went up to the thrift today too and scored 2 trench coats, a long denim coat and a beautiful men’s olive green Italian yarn jacket from Banana Republic. And I usually don’t go on weekends. Too crowded. I usually find the best stuff on weekdays while everyone is at work. LOL Oh, love love love the tan neutral NB. They are super dope.

[@shanekae]

Yes; weekday thrifting is the best. I want a denim trench so bad. I passed on one this summer and I’m kicking myself.

[@Ceeeeeerose]

That wool coat is everything❤

[@shanekae]

I’m obsessed.

[@shanekae]

You’re going to love it!

[@refi6438]

Lol I know how u feel finding that wool/ cash coat. I found a black London fog trench coat a few years ago at the goodwill for 1.99 i couldn't believe it. I was so exited inside when I saw it and then the price on top of it. Lol

[@shanekae]

Girl I was shocked! The quality is A1🎯

I had to come back and leave a comment. I started watching another KZbin’s video, and she has a similar black cropped boomer for $120.00. Wow, great find.

[@shanekae]

🗣️thank youuuu

[@mdeas2u]

Hello. Enjoyed the vlog!. I haven't gone thrifting in over 2 years. I have got to get back to it. I loved going because I would always find something.

[@shanekae]

Thrifting is life. I always have so much fun. 🥰

Super cute bag! I want one 😂❤😍

Perry Ellis was a very popular brand in the 80s, maybe the early 90s. Ne subscriber. Love your channel.

[@shanekae]

Thanks for the support💕 I appreciate you!

[@deniseoates7147]

I tried to get my thrift on when I was in Atlanta last year, I saw one that was like a local establishment, but my cousin took me to Goodwill which was picked all over, but I did come away with a few items. Thrifting has allowed me to actually own real genuine leather coats/jackets and to add on to my collection of trench coats and wool coats. Son is totally sprouting up with those long legs, he working those spidy senses. It has gotten suddenly ridiculously cold down into the 20s totally ruining the fun of trick or treating. Thanks for sharing and ta ta for now!

[@shanekae]

Hey Denise. Yes he is getting so big. It’s making me want another 🫣🤫🥹

[@deniseoates7147]

@@shanekae Doo it! You don't want the age difference so far apart (mine is 4 yrs) and you want him to have someone here with him when we are no longer here. My 2 are adults now in their 30s (boy and girl) and they talk to each other constantly when they don't want to share with mom firsthand. We have a group text for morning greetings and evening goodnight, done everyday (way to check in). My need for baby is being met by a new grandson and my first granddaughter that 12. Hoping I will be getting some from my son in a couple of years after his marriage. You also will be doubling your chance for grandbabies to. LOL!

Girl u did not jus whip out that jelly shoes pic omg #nostalgic 😊😊😊😊

[@shanekae]

Anytime Bertha 💕; I love engaging with y’all. Y’all fuel me. And no, I mostly only shop the Marietta location because it’s the closest. Btw; I’m obsessed with the bag. I may get the larger size as well.

[@ramonajacobs9402]

Love your thrift store hauls! Unfortunately i don't have such a selection where I live. 😔. Can you tell me how you figure out your size in men's trousers? I'm usually a 10-12 in women's. I'm also enjoying your vlogs ❤.

[@shanekae]

Thanks for your support Romona💕 I don’t shop by sizes. I try on all my pieces and if it fits I get them. I have no clue what sizes the trousers are. I’d highly recommend trying them on. Vintage sizing is completely different from modern sizing.

[@nursejessalthea]

Hey love your video. Which thrift store do you shop at. I’ve been to goodwill but not as lucky as you

[@shanekae]

Thank youuu; I shop Park Ave Thrift mostly.

I have the 2002R and 9060. They run true to size.

[@MsSassyMT]

I had to laugh at myself when you mentioned not knowing how to pick steaks. I stopped eating beef when I moved out of my parents home at 23 (I'm 54 now) and a few times in recent years, my wife has asked me to pick her up a steak. Finally, I said: Do you really want someone who has never bought steak to pick your steak for you? She finally stopped asking. I would be so lost in the store looking at them.

[@shanekae]

May I asked why you stopped eating beef?

[@MsSassyMT]

@@shanekae I think it was a texture thing for me, mainly steaks. I also gave up pork at the same time for that reason.
