Thrift stores are the thing I miss the most in this pandemic... can’t wait til they open again here in California!
Same here in Virginia. But I'm using ThredUp and I love it!
I adore that dragon shirt! You have a special taste and I like that. I don't like branded clothes mainly because people rate people based on it. And that makes me sick. That's why I prefer to buy (mostly bands) merch, which comes to me as a better alternative to my own speech.
Office work clothing is so expensive so when I need clothes for work I go to the thrift stores. Love thrifting!!!!
Taiya Duncker same for me! Although instill need a blazer...

Really love your videos and your second hand plate collection, but I just wanted to let you know that not all plate are food safe.
I've been getting into pottery lately and learnt that it has to do with the glaze. So to test a glaze's acid resistance, squeeze a lemon wedge onto a glazed surface. Any changes in the glaze color indicate that acids from foods can leach materials from the glaze, and that it is not food safe. :)
Uh that’s a really good tip! 💪🏼🌿
"I can wear these for a whole day without dying" that made me laugh so much, but I know what you mean 😂❤️
My state is doing a soft reopen. While doing my weekly grocery shop, I saw that my favorite thrift store is open and not going to lie, I am excited. I’m still practicing social distancing and wearing my mask, but I’ve made plans to go tomorrow. It was honestly what I missed the most while everything was closed. I was fortunate enough that my normal grocers were open.
I can imagine wearing the black bodice over tops/dresses like you normally do with your short singlet-style black crop top :)
That bodice is TO DIE FOR!! It would look so cute with the dragon shirt open and jeans.
4:35 Best thing I have ever heard! ❤️
Great video, thank you! 🤗
Girl the red looks great on you! It's definitely your color ♥️😊😘
That bodice!! I love how many ways you can style that! I might try to DIY one for myself, inspired by this video :)
When you said "boy from middle school shirt" 🤣 I'm pretty sure there's a picture of my husband wearing this shirt (or similar) in 7th grade 🤣🤣🤣 so accurate
I love your humour !
With regards to the plates, it's probably much better that you use them rather than displaying them and they get a proper use out of them! Great video! :)
Thanks so much for all the amazing and informative videos you've been uploading recently! It's highly appreciated and the effort behind them really shows! xxx
You're adorable! With your mumbling at the beginning! Thank you for the video! You bubbly personality makes me smile! :) Our thrift stores in Canada are not open yet. Im so looking forward to when they do :)
Valérie aw thank you so much! The bit after the intro was low-key left in there by mistake haha but it’s honest, so I am glad I am not coming off as a complete airhead 😅💪🏼
Bahah!! WOUPS!! Glad it was lowkey left there! It lets us see your personality more! 😊 Have a great week xx
God I love thrifting, usually I find unique things, they're WAY cheaper, and I kinda feel less guilty because I'm not buying it in known fast fashion brands. Baby steps, I love it.
With the plates and vases you can look at the bottom and sometimes there will be something like microwave save and then you know its a newer product but if it has a number or sometimes it has a number and says west germany then you know its a good old one. So my tip look at the bottom! :)
I swear you are the queen of thrifting. All hail the green goddess 💚
Danielle Culler Omg ❤️
She probably lives in a richer place then me where you find better stuff
I say this in the nicest way posible, but you look like young John Travolta!! And this is saying a lot because he was beautiful and so are you ❤❤❤
bananamary you know what, you’re not even the first one to tell me that 😂✌🏼
But she also reminds me of Emilia Clark. Personality wise and especially her character of Lou in Me Before You.
Thrift shopping in Scandinavia is a whole other level of cool :-D The mid century stuff is beyond comparison
love the vase :)
(not that its important, but if it says w. germany and some numbers on the bottom its becoming a collectable, and prices can go up in time)
I knooow, I actually have quite a lot of glasswear that says “made in West Germany” and others that say “made in USSR” and they are increasing in value with time. Love historic decor like this
High heels look so good on you! I looove your style 🦋
The vase reminds me of the sculptures in Beetlejuice. Love it
That dragon shirt look soo good on you!!
just wanted to say that some clay & glazes can release harmful substances into food, especially when in contact with heat & acid, so you might wanna test the decorative plate just in case since it’s not made specifically for food. i heard you can put a lemon/some lemon juice on it & leave it there overnight & if there’s no discoloring of the glaze then it should be fine, but if there is discoloring that means something in the glaze or clay reacted with the acid & it might be a good idea to not use it for food!
hahaha I saw your IG story about accidentally leaving that bit in here. But I loved the behind the scenes feel! I am still not allowed to go out so I'm jealous!
Thrifted maybe once this year but had other people thrift for me too, LOL (they were travelling and wanted to pick me up some things, and were gracious enough to look out for things for me while they were thrifting there).
I didn't think much of that black bodice top until you showed the several ways it could be styled, and now I'm shook at how useable it is! Can be mixed into outfits so well! Great find. Also loving the dragon shirt's cut and print. Very va-va-voom.
Thank you for sharing your goodies with us! Love the items and the message!
Biggest thrifting regret ever... I once saw a stainless steel popsicle holder the same as yours in a thrift store and I talked myself out of buying it. What was I thinking? (Apparently, I wasn’t). So, of course, every time I see your popsicle maker on my screen I remind myself to not be quite so “thrifty” next time, and just buy the dang thing if it seems right for me. PS - I just love homemade popsicles and I recently found a recipe for Vegan fudgsicles... can’t wait to make those this summer..
I didn't see that was it in another video? Anna In Ohio.
@@buckeyedav1 Ya… Gittemary has a really cool stainless steel popsicle maker and I once saw one just like it in a thrift store (but sadly, I did not buy it). I think she has shown it in one of her videos over the years or perhaps it was on IG. It’s looks really awesome 🌎🧊Ⓜ️ary
@@marycharlebois6627 I thought it was in reference to this video and I looked back all over the video trying to see if I missed it lol. Anna In Ohio.
Haha! I loved the dragon shirt, I bought one similar for my partner a few years ago from a vintage shop and he loves it 😋😊
Hey gittemary, loved the bodice and black shirt comb .. you looked gorgeous 👍x
Hey, I wonder if your love of blue and white plates is subconsciously due to the traditional Danish pottery!
Still binge watching your older programs.. I love thrift stores its very rare that I buy clothing new I can't even remember the last time I bought clothes new??? Several years other than undies. Where I shop most shirts or tshirts are 99 cents to $1.99. Pants same pricing, there is so many clothing in just this one store and it's like that all over our city thousands and thousands of pieces of clothing not kidding in the stores.. there is no reason to buy a brand new piece of clothing. I truly wish there were companies here that made things like quilts and comforters out of recycled clothing if the clothes don't sell they put them in a compacter and get rid of them. At one time years back they would sell to the public by the pound like 39 cents a pound. Things like jogging jackets and jogging pants (sweatpants) could be cut up and used for cleaning cloths as a example that's what I do with husbands old wore out ones. Blouses and Mens shirts could be cut in to squares and sewed in to making quilts instead of having them mass produced overseas and shipped here. I actually made a couch throw years ago with strips of old blue jeans. Anna In Ohio.
Love your thrift haul darling. That white handbag is so cute.
That beginning was so cute!
Love the way you styled the red shirt
Wow... I don't know. I was quite impressed and surprised with your leg tattoos 😂
In my country there isn’t thrift stores 💔 I love this video 💙
Aw you make me appreciate my slightly crsppy ones more lol I love when I can travel 2 hours to the big city where there is way more options and nicer quality
Thankyou for this lovely video 🙂
Love your content!!! Love from Mexico!! Just one thing I wanted to mention, make sure the plates you are using are safe. The thing with decor plates is that sometimes when they are burned at low temperatures, the glazes have a led base, therefore is toxic to eat from them. That is more uncommon for high temperature ceramic bodies. Just make sure the plates you are eating from are safe for that.
Damn I’m so jealous. Thrift stores in my area are not open yet 😔 I’ve done some shopping at ThredUp but I’m not really a fan of online shopping.
I looooved all the pieces!!! Each of them was really nice ! I hope it will convince skeptical people to go to thriftshops, I always think that seeing a nice outfit that is second hand is a good argument :D I love thrifting as well, and it doesn't prevent me at all from being trendy or stylish ;)
The stockings one is interesting, I've never seen them in a thrift store in the US but we also don't wear stockings often (I was just forced to once for middle school band and will never again). I am not sure if they are even allowed to be sold, they do kinda seem like something that would be frowned upon getting second hand. Good that you can since you presumably wear them.
I just ordered a Kavu Sling bag second hand on depop for less than $20 and it is basically brand new! They are so expensive ($50 or more) when you buy it new. I have been wanting one for years, so I really got lucky this time!
It took me a while to get over the 'hand me down' traumas of a poor [ish] childhood. But Greta Thurnberg turned me on to the ecological benefits and your enthusiasm is helping me too. I try to buy from charity shops now and the quality, range and prices are great.
Thrifting is best, but all closed here because of covid19 . The bustier looks fantastic with the black polka dot skirt and jeans! ;-)
Your hair is lovely 😍
Was just wondering, what are your thoughts on capsule wardrobe? Do you consider your wardrobe to be a capsule one? I really struggle with dressing and was thinking about creating one out of my clothes and 2nd hand clothes
You can definitely make a fantastic capsule wardrobe with second hand clothes! I have a roughly seasonal-based capsule that is mostly thrifted items and it works quite well for me. If you feel daunted by the monochrome minimalist style capsules, I'd highly HIGHLY recommend you check out Daria Andronescu's YT channel as she is a wardrobe styler and has many examples of colourful capsule wardrobes that have character and are clearly more uniquely molded to individual tastes beyond just sleek-urban-minimal (which is a totally okay wardrobe taste to have and my own capsule set up leans into that side, but I know many people are put off my capsule wardrobes cause they think they have to be that "boring").
I trying to buy brown and grey which is s step up from all my black so I relate Haha oh and I found a dark green turtle neck, very prob of myself Haha
Also I LOVE when non mother tongue English speakers use REALLY colloquial phrases like 'nifty' and 'miffed'! Did you happen to study English in the Midlands or North of England by any chance? ;-)
I have never found stockings in a thrift shop! Jealous!!
I live near Aalborg do you have any recommendations on thrift shops there?
Jeg har shoppet en rød Hvisk taske på trendsale og jeg elsker den😍
i love thrifting but thrift stores are closed because of covid. i always try to buy things from online thrift shops but i never find what i like
I I have always been of the mindset that thrifting is better for the earth and better because it doesn't promote exploitive companies. However, I recently saw a few articles discussing how thrifting is a privilege because many people from lower income households do not have the time or energy after working multiple jobs to thrift (because it often takes a fair amount of digging to find the good stuff). I also read that (for even more extreme cases) privileged people taking quality items from second hand stores takes it away from the people who can only afford to buy from these stores. Do you have any thoughts on this?
I am trying to find a basket purse second hand.... so far in canada i have no luck
Me either!
What does your book say starts off eating animal.....its a white book with green letters
Shelby Quiring It’s “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Saffran Foer ✌🏼🌿
The link to your discord server didnt work when I tried it :(( also girl you lookin good :)))
Argh that's because I made the link temporary by mistake! The link should be up and running now 😅💚
@@Gittemary still isnt working for me :(
ill keep checking though, esp since im a patron now ; p
Hi Gittemary. Im sorry to say that those orange high heels have totally the wrong heel placement. Heels should never be that far back, but more in the center under the back of your foot. You can find YT videos about correct heel placement. 🙂 They will feel so uncomfortable because your weight of the foot will be forward, squeezing you foot instead of a correct support under your heel. ( Uansett, elsker videoene dine ❤️ , stå på!)
yeah I did not really buy them for comfort haha 😂💪🏼🌿 They are not shoes I plan on doing a lot of walking in 🥂
Use plastic gloves if you go.
