You are soooo right!!!I started thrifting because i wad sooo done with H&M,Urban Planet,4ever21 etc.Don't get me wrong some stuff is nice but i felt like i was throwing my money in the garbage!My style is more classic i like stuff that never goes out of style,when you dont follow"the big trends"you are better off going to the thrift store.
This video was relaxing to watch. I love Thrifting & I also love “Thrifting & Flipping” on eBay. It’s how I paid off my student loans! I shop for luxury pieces both newer & vintage.
OMG! We got the SAME story. I went to TEMPLE too and that is WHERE my LOVE of THRIFT started cuz I was broke and the girls that shopped thrift was FLY! Just came across your channel... you had me at KIA (my name) and TEMPLE and THRIFT!
My best thrift finds: a Saks Fifth Avenue vintage purse in perfect condition $4.99; vintage Vanessa red straw bag $4.99; Ralph Lauren red cropped mom jeans $3.50; Eileen Fisher little black dress $3.50. Haven't gotten lucky with the men's blazers yet...maybe this year. LOVE your videos!
Ughhh this made me love you even more! Philly born and raised, live down the street from Temple, volunteered at Philly AIDS Thrift Store (proceeds donated to local AIDS organizations), addicted to thrifting, and that thrift store on the Upper East Side (and West Side) are EVERYTHING!
I'm so excited I came across you on TH-cam as i love your style and most of all your passion for fashion. Here in New Zealand thrifting is known as op shopping and its truely amazing the amount of cashmere, silk, satin, wool etc that is found amongst all other gems. Materials that are made to last a lifetime X
I just got hip and started following you and literally have been in a fashion funk for over a year and you have inspired me sooo much. I used to thrift back in the day and I’m so glad to see you still keeping it alive and in style with affordable pieces. Love love love
My favorite thrift store item is a men’s brown plaid wool coat. The sleeves are too long, so I cuff them and it’s big in the shoulders, but I love it. I also have found some great dresses and skirts at the thrift store.
I have become a huge thrift shopper in the last year. I have found a few really cute bags (I got an Italian patent leather gold bamboo handled mini bag for $3!!!!). I'm all about vintage mens Levi's and blazers and outerwear. I also found a vintage Valentino trench for $18. I love that with thrifting you won't see yourself coming and going. So glad I found your channel. ❤️ your spirit!
I cannot over emphasize just how much I loved this video! I have been thrifting for years and majority of my wardrobe (including boots and shoes) are from “the goody” as I do fondly refer to thrift stores as. I love the pieces that you pulled. My favorite items to purchase are embellished sweaters that are borderline ugly but their is a unique twist that make them DOPE and dresses that have a great fit. It’s all about details are cute for me! Keep the videos coming. Oh and I loved the phrase “money doesn’t buy style!”.
Outwear and blazers I have not brought a new out the store wool coat in over 10 yrs. Dresses too I'd add to my list. Cleaning tip: awesome spray from Dollar tree and cold water either pretreatment or hand wash and it will take out every thing!
I really love the way you dress everything up and you have a wonderful confidence that inspires me to buy thrifted items that I wouldn't normally buy from charity shops. Hugs x
Yes - I'm starting to collect silk blouses - thrifted, of course! Many sizes fit when we tie the tails (and I sew & alter things). I have so many garments that I'm thinking of coming out of retirement and getting a full-time job in 2019 just so I can wear all my beautiful clothes! B.
Just recently found your amazing channel and have been loving your passion, tips and little one-liners like "get your life". I'm a fellow TH-camr and have a hard time finding someone to watch that I enjoy and vibe with. So blessed to have found you!!!! 🙏
you inspired me when you showed us the suede fringe jacket, I have one similar to it that I bought at Value Village, but thought it was out of style, but I guess not, good I'll wear mine too. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this video because I too LOVE thrifting! I'm know your wardrobe is huge! Living in NY with limited space I wonder are their any creative tips you have to organizing your closet? Can you create a video showing us? I would love the advice since I live in the city as well.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Yassss I am from North Philly first and foremost secondly I am with you with outerwear and Blazers I am always heading to those sections of any thrift stores first. Your silhouette is just bomb I love how anything hangs on you! Love this video I may have to do a rendition on it ;) Thanks for sharing love!
Gotta try it. I have a friend from Miami who is as stylish as you and she loves thrifting. I’ve tried but didn’t find much to my liking. I guess I have to find the right store in Central Florida. I’ve been wanting a flannel shirt, now I know where to look. Winter months only 😂
I love your style! I love to pick up jeans, purses, jean jackets, and graphic/band tees. I am in need of some belts, so I will be looking some when I go thrifting.
You have great taste and an eye for fashion. I agree with you totally about shopping at the thrift stores they have good quality for less the price of a regular store. You look like someone who appreciates artwork. Check out their oil paintings you can find great artwork dirt cheap. Great video!
If I recall correctly; My love for thrifting start from you and @kiidiosa in like 2013ish. And I love it! I get pretty much all my work clothes from there.
100% with you on all of those! Cashmere sweaters are a great thing. They are a good one to seek out when you are in a huge salvation army that's barely sorted and overwhelming 'cause you can just run your hand along the sweaters and feel for the texture of it. Workout wear is another good one. You can find nearly new name brand pants, tops, jackets, etc. If you're abroad definitely check out the used clothing part of the markets. The Indonesians thought it was hilarious to see me pick up American clothes in their used clothes barn but Nike and underarmour breathable shirts for $1?
you are so right about labels and fabricks! i always check them even if something looks basic or boring. all my "better quality" fabricks are from thriftstores because i would never buy cashmere or wool anywhere else because it's expensive. i am tired of polyester or acrylic knitwear.
Im from philly too. I love your videos. I shop at goodwill,but i would like to take a trip to thrift in NYC. Can you do a video that list some of the stores you go to shop.
I love your videos and you are simply great and so, so beautiful! I love thrifting so much and I’ll never forget the day I found two black cashmere sweaters right next to each other! Bought them both, ofc! I’ve got a few silk shirts as well, one is Escada and was 2 euros! I love the hunt for such treasures and thrifting is just amazing, it brings me so much joy as an experience!
Yes!! Love thrifting too, my favorite thing to pick up is silk scarves, I actually found a Hermes scarf at the goodwill for $3.00!!! A real steal! Btw love you and your fab hair!
I feel the most put together in my thrifted finds. I've never owned real silk, leather (besides as a kid) and fur until I began thrifting years ago. Dope vid! On point!
You've got good taste. I find I buy things from thrift stores and then freak out when it comes time to wear someone else's former stuff... help me, Lord! Anyhow, you and your hair look fab!! Was also glad to see your ad featuring The Find Guru... love her!!
My favorite items to pick up are definitely flannels, fun printed pants (sometimes jeans but those are harder to find in my size sadly), layering pieces like cool jackets 🧥 I personally have 3 fringe jackets already and all were thrifted and under $30 :), vintage dresses, punky pieces, and bolo ties because they have such fun designs and are great for those allergic to metal still wanting to look fun and unique!
So fabulous loved this video and liked the styling ideas you showed with the thrifted items! It eerily similar aesthetic to karenbritchick who also has thrifted items like yours! My favourite items from thrift stores are vintage metallics, particularly brocade gold jackets and full skirts! 👏👏👏❤️💕💞🙏
This this the first video of yours I've seen. Love your style. My fave was probably the gold belt. Btw the brown leather purse with the inscription on it, was probably made by Bruce. Some guys (including mine) do leather work like that and make saddles, etc.
Awesome! I love thrifting SO much. My #1 thing to get are JEANS. I sew and denim material is so expensive so, yep, you guessed it I buy jeans for ALL my DIY projects.
Lol! I thought my son was the only one who says mom jeans!!! Lololol ! he gets me everytime I put this certain pair of jeans on! Love you Kia always keeping us in the game!
Eleonore Bon lol! Who would have thunk it! "I can't find the 28/32 in the mom cut"! I need to get out more lol! I really thought the kids were being funny about this old boot cut pair I throw on! And its a whole term and an actual cut! Oh my! Lol :) Thank you for the info!
Please make a video about the best thrift stores in New York City! I’m visiting this summer and I want to hit up the best ones! Love your videos! You always make me smile💛
Love this. And def falling more intrigued with thrifting. Also I did not know you had a pup. Me and my two pups watch your videos all the time. One love out
My favorite thing to thrift are graphic tees! Also turtlenecks, buttondowns, and silk scarves. I cannot do those purses tho (don't know why) Happy Thrifting!
I bought a beautiful blue dyed leather belt with a big metal buckle that I love, so I didn’t even think to see if it fits! And it doesn’t, it’s TOO SMALL (probably a child’s belt)! Any tips to make it work? Love your videos!
I love getting jewelry and handbags from thrift stores! I am super short and have gained some weight, post-baby, so I have a hard time finding cute jeans and stuff. I loved all of the pieces you shared and I love your style in general! I am working to get my pre-mom body back in 2018 and hope to get back to enjoying thrifting clothing pieces again!!! ✌🏾& ❤️
Shift store shopping taught me a lot about fabric as well. It made me realize how crappy clothes are made today, i.e. fast fashion.
The Blogger Next Dior so true. I've gotten a lot of cheap clothes that tear up very quick.
Yes!
The Blogger Next Dior its the truth!
fast fashion?
You are soooo right!!!I started thrifting because i wad sooo done with H&M,Urban Planet,4ever21 etc.Don't get me wrong some stuff is nice but i felt like i was throwing my money in the garbage!My style is more classic i like stuff that never goes out of style,when you dont follow"the big trends"you are better off going to the thrift store.
My best thrift store finds:
A Russian knee length shearling coat $10 & a retired Valentino shoulder bag $15. I love thrifting!
I hated turtle necks when I was younger too 😩😂 now I livvvee for them
Kay D me too! 🙌
This video was relaxing to watch. I love Thrifting & I also love “Thrifting & Flipping” on eBay. It’s how I paid off my student loans! I shop for luxury pieces both newer & vintage.
I'm from Alabama. The old folks have a saying that applies to you. You could make a potato sack look good. Great job.

Love your sense of style and your "why not" attitude. You're a style-artist !
that multi-colored blazer is SO Huxtables!! LOVE it
She is an entire VIBE - sending love and gratitude for the style and inspiration 🙏🏾❤️
Please please please yes sewing videos. I have a bag of fabric/thrifted/handmedowns and a sewing machine collecting dust!
I always love your vintage/thrift hauls! I love vintage accessories like clip on earrings and necklaces. The quality is amazing!!
This definitely inspired me to look for different things for my wardrobe..2018 is the yeeeearrr..thanks kia
Ughhh this made me love you even more! Philly born and raised, live down the street from Temple, volunteered at Philly AIDS Thrift Store (proceeds donated to local AIDS organizations), addicted to thrifting, and that thrift store on the Upper East Side (and West Side) are EVERYTHING!
I'm in love with your style and hair!!!!!!! Blessed my timeline!
I love to look for sweaters and scarves, you can always find some great vintage ones at pretty much any thrift store.
I'm so excited I came across you on TH-cam as i love your style and most of all your passion for fashion.

casual corner is a women's line in regards to the brown blazer if you were wondering everything is wonderfully styled also loved the mom jeans
I am getting ALLLLL the Aunt Vivian from Fresh Prince of Bel Air vibes from that multicolored blazer and just loving it!
I think I have a flannel addiction. I also thrift them from the men’s section. The best.
My favorite thrift store item is a men’s brown plaid wool coat. The sleeves are too long, so I cuff them and it’s big in the shoulders, but I love it. I also have found some great dresses and skirts at the thrift store.
The sheer blouses are everything. They look so good on you. True style..thanks for sharing.
Aldo has a bag on their website on sale for 70% off its shaped like the boom box (very radio raheem) i could definitely see you carrying it.
I have become a huge thrift shopper in the last year. I have found a few really cute bags (I got an Italian patent leather gold bamboo handled mini bag for $3!!!!). I'm all about vintage mens Levi's and blazers and outerwear. I also found a vintage Valentino trench for $18. I love that with thrifting you won't see yourself coming and going.

Found an Hermes runway men's shirt for 8$ sold it for 300. Had all the tags and everything!!
"Easy, breezy, beautiful bad bitch." I love it haha!!! Goodness, your style is amazing!!
The first place I go in the thrift store is to the dresses! Then scarves, blazers or chunky knits, and sleep wear for cool robes and slips!
I cannot over emphasize just how much I loved this video! I have been thrifting for years and majority of my wardrobe (including boots and shoes) are from “the goody” as I do fondly refer to thrift stores as. I love the pieces that you pulled.

But the lip color though ! Girl it complements you so well ! Can I have the info of it ?
I really love the way you dress everything up and you have a wonderful confidence that inspires me to buy thrifted items that I wouldn't normally buy from charity shops. Hugs x
Right. With cutting out shoulder pads 💜
Yes - I'm starting to collect silk blouses - thrifted, of course! Many sizes fit when we tie the tails (and I sew & alter things). I have so many garments that I'm thinking of coming out of retirement and getting a full-time job in 2019 just so I can wear all my beautiful clothes! B.

Redemption Songs lol a lot of people say mom jeans lol
Redemption Songs | that’s how they’re sold these days though. Just like there’s skinnies, boyfriend jeans or flares, there’s “mom jeans”.
Eleonore Bon lol! Who would have thunk it! "I can't find the 28/32 in the mom cut"! I need to get out more lol! I really thought the kids were being funny about this old boot cut pair I throw on! And its a whole term and an actual cut! Oh my! Lol :) Thank you for the info!
Redemption Songs | topshop and urban outfitters sell loads of them. And Zara of course.
Can you make a video or Ig post of you favorite thrift stores around NYC?
"Earrings" are my absolute favor find at the thrift store!

I am ~living~ for your style! It's so chic and sophisticated, but has pops of color. Effortlessly cool 8-)
Love your thrift vlogs!
omg your laughter is the cutest
I bought a beautiful blue dyed leather belt with a big metal buckle that I love, so I didn’t even think to see if it fits! And it doesn’t, it’s TOO SMALL (probably a child’s belt)! Any tips to make it work?
Love your videos!
Love your style!
Love your dog.
I love getting jewelry and handbags from thrift stores! I am super short and have gained some weight, post-baby, so I have a hard time finding cute jeans and stuff. I loved all of the pieces you shared and I love your style in general! I am working to get my pre-mom body back in 2018 and hope to get back to enjoying thrifting clothing pieces again!!! ✌🏾& ❤️
How do you sanitize earrings from the thrift store? Love your channel.
