Karen, I'm 60 and have been thrifting for 45 years! I would open up the seams on both sides of the skirt, creating side slits. The skirt would fit better over the trousers.
Many cleaners have a tailor. Have them open the seams on either side of the skirt, add a triangle of fabric close to the color or a complimentary color. That will allow the skirt to hang properly over the pants. I love the concept of this pant/skirt combo. Would be worth seeing the outcome.
great idea, I was thinking to open the side-seam on the skirt. I don't know what H&M were thinking to be honest!
Same page! If the pant goes all the way up the slits could be left open and sewn for a finished look👍🏾
Great minds! I was thinking to slice the skirt up both sides too but leave it like that...either allowing it fray or finish it off with a seam...I think the openness could add nice movement and flow...what do you think?
Maybe add panels to the sides
Exactly what I was about to say! You saved me typing it all. 😂
Love watching your videos. For the (skant-which is a skirt/pant) you can add a 2-3" slit on either outseam of skirt to allow for movement, great item
Exactly what I was thinking.
@@christinewoolfries6057 Me too!
That's a brilliant idea Diana
That’s what I was going to say 😄
Totally agree... and with some heels you won’t notice it.
Love thrifted clothes! I buy secondhand from charity shops and refashion to look better- DONT get rid of the trouser/ skirt combo! Get some scissors and cut up close to the side seam from the front, right up to hip level or where you need more room. Then I would curve the front panel to round it off over the thigh. Either leave to fray or it could be bound by a dressmaker in a contrasting colour- orange or green! You could curve the back piece as well. I think it would look great!
Hi, Karen. When I shop preloved and vintage, I concentrate on coats and hand bags. You inspire me . Thanks.
Always love your thrifting videos! I cannot resist vintage coats. I might have a problem 🥴 Tip for the Margiela: you could have an alterationist put a slip of matching (or not) fabric down each side of skirt to get that straight/flared look. Make them uniquely your own 💃🏾🤷🏾♀️❤😍
I was going to suggest the same thing! 🙂
This is the correct answer.
How exciting to see you at fashion week❤️ You really are a Fashion Force Karen ! Can’t wait😊❤️
I didn’t know I needed a green beret until now! Love that you’re including vintage and thrift during fashion week.
I love these thrift videos because of the uniqueness of the finds, kudos Karen! Best regards from Greece!
For the skirt you can open the side and sew back only a half ( where your widest part at ) leave the hem outside rather than inside just to give a bit det. Hope you like the idea 😊
That would work!!!
I was gonna say the same thing!! 😆 Yes just OPEN up the sides to the widest part of the hip. There are pants underneath so it won't matter. It would open up that area just enuf yet so flirty!! Then u have the "ILLUSION" of the skirt w the playful pants hiding everything underneath! Genius!!!
@@MsMtz40 😃😃
@@imeldaramirez1703 😀❤️
Thought the same. Opening the sides with splides in both sides and let them unhemd ("unfinisht ") in honor of MM.
Awesome as usual Chic Britchick! Thank you!
Karen thank you for speaking to sustainability...it's such an important style message that needs to get out there and as consumers we have the power to shift the way the industry works, simply by voting with our dollar for fashion that is kind to people and planet. Recycling, reusing and reimagining with brands such as ThredUp is a great choice. Like you thrifting is in my DNA and its a huge part of my life...in fact it's changed my life too. Thrifting has really reconnected me back to my closet, community, sublime story and helped me develop a unique personal style that is intrinsic to me...a total vibe right! x
Love ! Love ! all your authentic comments. Just so original and fun.
Oh Karen, you have not only the best style but the best sense of humor! I was laughing out loud 😆 when you looked down and there was newspaper on your couch! You are a breath of fresh air always! 💫⭐💫
I've been shopping at ThredUP for over 4 years. I've redone my entire wardrobe with only clothes from them. They used to sell jewelry but stopped and they weren't trained to know what was worth a lot so I scored tremendously. I'm so pleased that Karen buys from them. Totally worth shopping there and easy returns too.
The green baret is stunning!!
The skirt/pants, I would totally put high side slits in it, finished properly. It could make all the difference!
Great to see a thrift and more affordable video again! 😍
Love Love....love trifted....like you I have trifted since I was a student...I love the creative and diversity of buying second hand...it is a huge hobby of mine...99% of my wardrobe is trifted...every city I go to in the world I am on the watch out for trifted....love love it...Thank you Karen love you videos you are great..Fantastic Style...also love your What people are wearing so inspiring......Happy weekend..I have watched you evolve over the years...you are just great!!
What a collection in the second thrift store.loved the things you picked up.
I agree about the shape of the skirt over the pants .
Karen I Love Beacon’s Closet‼️So many cool finds there 🗽😎
I get so excited to see you thrift and then put the pieces together 😀💕👏🏾
Karen I love that white cropped jumper.Lovely!
The way things are heading, second hand clothes will soon cost more than brand new ones of comparable quality! The skirt - maybe it will work for you if you get it adjusted?
Thank you for the video. Have an amazing weekend!
I will never get enough of your genuine excitement over, well, anything❤❤
Love that yellow cream jumper!!
Hiya Karen! I immediately thought to ruche up the Margiela skirt/trouser combo so it looks more belt like; even ruche up one side, safety pin on inside or out, if you get a big one it’ll look like it’s part of the design. You could even use a funky broach! I like them, wouldn’t cut unless I was cutting, hemming the entire sides so it looks more like flaps, *maybe* leather inserts to make it into a looser more A-Line skirt. Just what popped in my head! Didn’t get that FAB patchwork shirt? Omg I want it😬! So weird how Greenpoint has changed, that’s where we had a house & I bloody hated it there but this was 21 ½ years ago when W’burg was just getting the “pioneers”. I actually prefer the old neighborhood even tho I hated it, it was one of those little unique neighborhoods which are quickly disappearing😞. Have a lovely weekend! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️
Karen your amazing 🤩 That grey skirt/trouser combo and your reaction to it 😂 Had me rolling 😂 I’m gonna need an update on this one 😍
Yes this is just fabulous watching you going thrifting thanks
I love vintage and thrift clothing! Most of my wardrobe is thrift and vintage pieces. Love when you do these types of videos😊
Great shoppin trip Great Video 👑🥰
Love your beret. Can’t wait to see you during fashion week. ThredUp! Yes, I have the app. Love your videos! ❤️
I enjoy ur vintage Thrift shop finds. They are absolutely fabulous.I’m going to view Thred Up, thanks for promoting. Their prices are so affordable.
Describing your style and videos in 3 words: Eclectic. passionate. and timeless.
You got some great peices, really loved the sweaters.. I lovveee threadup! I now have Italian leather boots, extremely comfortable but cute heels.. Shoes and bags I know would have high price tags if brought in the store.. And Alot of their items are practically new.. I also love the boxes I use them for storage.. Yes love me some Threadup!
Love the pant skirt, keep it!!
Thanks karen.. loved this! You can definitley make skirt/trouser combo work.. looks great except for being bit tight.. slit the sides and add matching piece of material to.widen it.. totally make it your own😊
I love the jacket and your channel. I just started watching recently, but I'm addicted already.
The Margiela pants/skirt would have been amazing if the skirt was pleated and loose but I think you can give it a try and make it work!! Love your vids♥️
Love your Videos! It inspires me all time.
Where did you get that grey trousers? I love it
Newspaper works the best for cleaning mirrors and windows! My hubby taught me that trick, i always have crumples of newspaper around too lol: )
Love the OOTD. Black with a pop of colour classy and chic with the varied textures. Loved the thrifted items. From the yellow jumper to quilted gloves, baret etc. Love that you include all price points. So right about colour in Winter.
It is the 60% off for me. Thank you.
Yes!!! You can make it work. I love that skirt and pants. You can get it taken out by a tailor. Love all your things from thrifting. I recently bought some items from thrifting. I got a pair of jeans and a Izod archyle pink and grey sweater with the tag on it. Yes!!! Thriving is very inexpensive. Thank you for sharing!
I recently got into Japanese street style fashion. I was a bit surprised from different looks and hashtags within the substyles, that berets are a staple. So hearing that Thred Up is another place to look for them is great :)
Agreeing with a lot of the suggestions for how to 'save' the grey trousers at the end!
I love the skirt pants. It is fabulous 👌🏾
OMG!! THE PATCHWORK SHIRT!!!
that yellow cap looked so good on you!!! yellow suits you so well
Hi Karen, I enjoyed this video so much...we all love going shopping with you!! As for the Margiella pants/skirt situation...just like everyone else is saying because we are all thinking alike here, cut the side seams to the hip area..I would just have the open seams stitched so they look finished but leave it open, I think it'll look great like that! You can definitely rock that look!!
Karen, you can make it work. I think it's flattering to your body!!😊❤
Yeees, I love to Thrift!!! I tailor my own clothes mostly. I bought a short sleeved leopard dress on Thread Up last yr. and it could have been a little better,, but I kept it anyway.. You can Rock and look and make it Fabulous Karen!! #It'sSoGood II dream of going to Fashion week, it's on my Bucket list ❣I would have that skirt over the pant, opened up on both of the sides to the hip and then sewn to lay like a tunic does. Shouldn't cost to much to have down. Hi Michael 👋🏾 I hope you both have a Wonderful Superbowl and Valentines weekend💕✌🏾
Hi Karen,
I think you can rock this skant and no need to make adjustments. It was designed like this and with your figure and styling it will look ingredable 👍
Karen-- always so inspirational…. Yes!!! Come on Springtime☀️☀️
Oh! The skirt/pants…. You can make it work!!! Very cool actually💃💃💃💃
Love thrifting content it always put me in the mood to go out and hunt for something amazing. Unfortunately where I live the thrift shops are awful. I spent 10 mins walking in, quick scan and then back out again. Maybe I'll try thread up!
If the content isn’t currated then you really have to dig but that is part of the fun IMO
Hi, Karen! I like the skirt/pant in it’s original form but you can make slits on both sides as an option also!
Love it when you thrift and teach us how to‼️ I like the concept of the pants maybe one is bigger or have a tailor Loosen the skirt part just a little then 😍👌🏾👏🏾🔥
I love the suggestion from a viewer of adding triangles of fabric to the skirt… the pant portion I love and a great neutral
Hi there Karen! As I’ve been watching you literally for years, I was really surprised by the fact that you are attending NY fashion week this year! To me that’s a sign of progress work wise, so congratulations and good luck! Your excellent sense of style and mix of high and low -which is what I subscribe to- is what differentiates you from the rest of the masses if you don’t mind my saying so. As for the Margiela skirt/pants, why don’t you try cutting it in the sides where the inside stitching is? It will definitely widen and given you the cut you want to. The best of luck with your next ventures!
Oh how I also hate when I don’t try on clothes and they don’t fit. feel so comfortable thrift shopping. When I have a need in my wardrobe for a piece I’ll go to the thrift stores first. Since last year I’ve been shopping the mens section. I too have found some great blazers. Thank you for all the inspiration .
Love you Karen🥰
FYI A baste stich on the shoulder of a blazer/jacket/etc. indicates that garment has not been worn...or the previous owner didn't know to remove it. Lovely as always. See ya next time!
I was going to say the same! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️
Love the thrift idea like you I am from London so started there now just look for second hand bargain. Like someone else said with skirt / trousers. Open up seams insert another material make them your own as will be super cool with knitwear ; Chunky boots x
Honestly ~ best ThreadUp finds I’ve seen ~ most chic and best prices ~~~ I havent tried it before bc other videos have featured cheaper looking clothes for nearly full price ~
I think you can make the Margiela piece work! Just put slits up the side to loosen the tension so you still have that "layered" look and like you said the right jumper would make it work! I look forward to seeing what you do with the piece. I'm so excited for your FW content! 😊
I have quite a few skirts over long and cropped pans….love them. Have a Tailor take out the side seams and hem….you need that room in the hips and that will work and look great
Thredup has been great for me! Wonderful handbags, jeggings, jeans etc
I am obsessed with the multi-color, patchwork, suede shirt you found. Did you get it?
also i definitely think you can make the margiela bottoms work. you can make anything look effortlessly chic.even the way you had them styled in the video worked well imo!
I love ThredUp....when the polka dot box shows up, it's like getting a birthday or Xmas present.
Karen, can you make tutorials about How you install your wigs, and Where you buy them?
Love the Black Blvck cap especially. Take a seam ripper to open one side of the skirt start from bottom going up parallel to the lowest part of the zipper. Try it on to see if you now like it. If you do, take it to a cleaners/seamstress for proper hemming as a side split.✨✨
You know I love that 🐫 coat. Thanks for taking us along. The music is so chill, hopefully you've got the name of it in your drop-down ✨
I also use that paper to clean my mirrors! LMBO!
Hi Karen! It's been a while since I've been to Beacon's. Best place for handbags and accessories. I remember that coat and I'm still loving it!
As for the trousers, they made the skirt way too small to fit over the fuller trouser. I think you can make it work with some alterations. For example, how about adding a strip of material on both sides of the skirt that would make it wider, with a more a-line flow?
The trouser skirt will be good with a big sweater or a shirt. You can definitely make it work.
Love your videos Karen!😍 with the H&M/Maison skirt/trouser collaboration, I guess you can add 3 to 4 inches slits on both sides and...Bob's your Uncle!👍🏻 it'll release the tightness and give you that bit of A line silhouette.
Hey Beautiful Have a Lovely Friday!☘️🌻💕🌞
The H&M collab is cool and looks Great from the side - just have a panel added on the sides (an elongated triangle from the bottom up to the hip)
Hiya. Yes - I've had a similar idea to others below : a good seamstress might be able to put in a very tall, elongated triangle of fabric (thin end of triangle pointing upwards, obvs). So, it's a kind of panel, but it's tapered so that the lower half of the skirt will be wider (giving a straight- skirt look) ...and you'll also get more fabric to ease the tight hipline....
Coz I think you could really rock that look if you fixed the skirt : the trousers are a brilliant shape ....
Xxxx
Great video! I remember wearing dresses over wide-legged trousers/ jeans as a youngster in the '70's. Dress or skirt has to be a-line x
Love this! I've never tried Thred Up! I think if you pressed the skirt/pant, it may work better for you? It's not all that bad and I know you can style it up!
Thrifting in NYC is the best. It used to b much better before I left and moved to Europe. There is a three storey warehouse building on the West side with everything from furniture to the most amazing clothes. When my son was born our friend gave him about 25 Christian Dior baby outfits still in their boxes from a thrift shop. My mother often sends over large parcels of amazing things she discovers for me or my daughter. My daughter has been known for her distinctive style since she started Montessori 15 years ago. You will also find in many buildings or recycling areas, people leave things they don't want. My son brought me home three Michael Kors jackets, one a trench, still with their tags that way when he was visiting home and my daughter 'found' a whole ox of unused, unopened Clinique products that I grabbed off her. New Yorkers love a bargain, rich or poor. My son lives in Switzerland at the moment and he furnished his whole flat from the practice there of leaving out unwanted furniture for anyone to take. They do this in NYC as well. Some of my favourite thrift shops from when I was younger are gone now and some have gotten a bit price crazy by calling used clothing Vintage. Though I did get a Lagerfeld jacket two years ago for three dollars at the Salvation Army on East 3rd. They had one of those tweed Chanel bags at the NY Opera charity shop next door for $1600, which is relatively inexpensive for the item. I left it since it was brown and gold (not my colours).
Thanks for taking us along. Perhaps you can have the skirt shortened? I love to look at Maison Margiela, but I cherish wearability too much to ever really wear it.
I thrifted for my first time yesterday it’s a dope experience and something I’m going to get into
Everything looks great and so chic and fashionable BUT I agree with you about the skirt/pant outfit. That doesn’t look so well. Keep sharing great tips with us!❤️
I hope you got that suede patchwork shirt 😍😍😍
I loved that shirt!
I love the skirt pant, I think you can make it work with a slit cut on both sides to the hip where you indicated. I am one of those who Wear a dress over pants. Never thought of skirt over pants will try it😍
Hey girl....i would open up the side seams of the overskirt. Ps....i am inspired by your style. Thanks
Enjoyed joining you to thrift
I like the pants Karen you can make it work if you have the pants tailored to be more like a bell bottom. Thank you for all your fashion advice and all your great videos. Love your closet. One Love
You can open the side of the skirt, and maybe add a pice of other fabric, a pop of colour maybe.
I've always loved thrifting 🙃☕🥰🌹
I know we do fashion here and love it. Any chance at all you could do, how I film my reels, edit my videos, day in the life of your busiest days. Pretty pleaaassssseeeee. Xx
Those Margiela trousers could look sharp with a bra top or extra cropped top and an oversized blazer or big scarf. But if it's just not you, donate them somewhere. You always tell us not to keep what we don't love, and it's generally really great clothing advice.
Karen you love them so much you can make it work lol
For the pant/skirt perhaps you can take it to a tailor and have the skirt altered to a more A-line fit. Or alter the pant so it is not as baggy.
I literally dream about that Beacons in Greenpoint. I cannot wait to come thrift in the city again.
oh yes!!!! just have a seamstress add a gusset .... easy beans its smashing!!
Hey Karen, I have so many leather gloves but can’t wear them be of my long nails. I loovveee that yellow & tan sweater. It’s got a preppy look. I would wear it with some plaid pants, loafers & jean jacket.. Or linen pants.
Thank you for another great video . Shame about the thifted skirt/trousers; agree with you, they don't work, cut all wrong. At the beginning of the video I kept looking at the silver ankle boots behind you, all I could think of was how good they would look with your outfit! Love all the berets, they really suit you!
