I've been checking out fashion lookbooks and street style compilations from my library! I'm really loving the Fruits magazine lookbook.

This week was Read Across America week at my school so we got to be super inspired with dress up days (book character, crazy clothes, nerd day) it was wonderful to see all the different outfits show up instead of the usual boring uniforms!

your videos :D I experiment with new silhouettes and I'm having so much fun!

I actually prefer your closet dress up vs the thrift store ones. The thrift store content feeds my unnecessary desire to acquire more stuff, but seeing you “shop your closet” and problem solve, it inspired me to do the same.

I’m a college student so when I’m uninspired I go people watch on campus. The girls really make campus their runway

When I went to school in the early 00’s almost everyone wore pajama bottoms and sweatshirts on campus - the exact opposite of inspiring! 🫣😅 To be fair, it was a small school that was 7 to 1 girls to guys. It was a nice school, but definitely lacking in the variety or people and styles over at the big state school. 😞🤷🏻‍♀️

You must have a more creative uni than me, if I went people watching at our campus i wouldn't see anything but big comfy hoodies and blue denim jeans 😂

The campus I work at is going through it's "clean girl" era and everyone wears the same unexciting hoodies and jeans, I stand out like a sore thumb in frills, velvet and audacious prints 😅

Can you do more outfit lookbook type videos in the future too? :) Basically just playing dress up and having fun with your wardrobe...it's such a joy to witness your creativity and I love the outfits you create so so so much

I have two kiddos in elementary school, so drop off in the morning is always so fun. I love seeing what the other kiddos put together. The pattern mixing! The layering! The sheer confidence!!! It's always great.

Okay, I'm so glad that you bought the track pants with the yellow/orange stripes down the side!

Love the neutral layering outfit 😭😭😭 Victorian greenhouse keeper vibes for sure

The dark fuscia dress with the plaid blazer??? Incredible! 😍

I love your vibe so much. It's giving calm chaos, daydreaming about the apocalypse while sipping camomille tea, respectfully touching art in a museum when security isn't looking.👌🏻💜

Kathleen, I stumbled across your channel at the beginning of the year and I am obsessed with your goofy, thrift goblin vibes. I binged all your content and just ran out of videos to watch. I've been eagerly awaiting this video all week! Thanks for bringing me so much joy ❤

Saaaaame!

It's Sunday afternoon. I'm laying here dreading going to work in an hour. I am a blob. A lump who needs to wash her hair but lacks the energy to comb out long hair tangles. I'm stuck in a morass of pollen allergies sinus misery, general life malaise, PMS, and a crushing sense of financial futility. I hate everything. Hmmmm, Oh, look! There's a new Kathleen video! *watches video* Well, ok. If I can't lay in bed watching cute apartment tour videos all day, I'm at least gonna wear those big, funky earrings I was gifted and adore but haven't had the courage to wear out in public, yet. Oh, and those silver glitter flats I thrifted. *drags self out of bed, puts hair in long braid down my back* Thank you for the inertia busting motivational moment.

I get out of a style rut by going to my jewelry collection. I usually make an outfit by picking out the clothes first and then adding accessories. But to get out of a style rut, I will pick a necklace or a bracelet or a hair clip or earrings that I haven't worn in a while and build the outfit around it. That always leads me to create a new style I haven't worn before. Another thing I try is to look in my closet for something I haven't worn in ages, or ever, and style around it. If I can do it, then I feel good about using a different thing from my closet. If I can't style it or decide I really don't like it, then I can donate it and thus clear some useless stuff out of the my life.

I do the exact same thing with my jewelry!

Canadian Tuxedos are always the right choice. 😍

The dress with blazer gives Nadia from What We Do in the Shadows vibes, in the best way.

That orange corset top for the sporty look would look so good with those black/orange striped trouserts you bought 🧡

Absolutely love you using your closet to make the final outfits and only getting what you needed from the thrift store! A lot of thrifting content creators do hauls that promote overconsumption of clothes they already have in their closet. I love seeing that you can recreate Pinterest outfits in the thrift store but you don't need to buy things you already have!!

I feel like all of the putfits were fine, and then BAM! The dark fuchsia hit! That outfit is a masterpiece 🌺🤡

That last outfit was so stinkin' cute. I really love it when you reach for that dress because you always look like you're having the best time ever when you put it on, and that's the whole point really.

Fuscia Helena Bonham Carter! Loved all of these. Thank you for pointing out the styling. I have such a hard time with styling as opposed to just wearing my clothes.

just another day of me being obsessed with some of the clothes you pull out of your closet 😍😍 these outfits wow

The denim look in the changing room: so Madonna "Ray of light" vibe! Also: this shade of pinks looks orchid or raspberry to me. Loving the "McGonagall at Clown Hogwarth" outfit on you!

I have multiple forms of synesthesia, and your voice smells like my grandparents old things and their old house. Your voice smells like vintage clothing in the best possible way, I feel nostalgic when I watch your videos.

When I’m in a style rut I watch videos like yours, Kathleen! 👯‍♀️💚

Okay, but I really loved the outfit you wore to the thrift store; that blazer is fantastic!

The magenta outfit!!!!! Yeeeessss!!!! You are forbidden to ever get rid of that dress!!!! And I loved the denim as well!!!!! ❤🎉

I don’t even understand that dress but love it so much!

The black lace with the sporty trousers is so 90s, i love it!

The last purple dress combo would look so cool with belt corset and the tux open and docs!

My obsessiveness has been kicked into overdrive this season with denim dresses. It started With a way oversized vintage button up A-line classic that I sized down to fit and from there it was on. I then saw a pieced colorblocked number from a designer in Montreal that was way out of budget range but inspired me to start collecting both denim and various skirts and dresses with a view to building my homage to the pieced light and dark denim fitted and flared skirt cami on top lovely. After that whilst seeking the correct denim skirt (or 2-3) to make my dress easier to build I collected several vintage midi skirts that in the end could Not bring myself to chop up and started instead wearing with the denim waist coats I binged on last summer that I still can’t stop wearing. My life is now a a non stop met ball to which I come attired in the national Tuxedo of my homeland. Cuz I’m a little bit country and by little I mean completely. I. Can’t. Stop. Hunting and also making denim dresses. Why? Nobody knows. An intervention is in the works but I won’t stop till I Am Britney Spears at the 2001 Grammy awards.

I love your Adventurist Nature. Victorian conservationist was my Fav 🇨🇦❤️

when is it? what is it? there's no way to possibly know!!!!!! 🍳

My favorite outfits were the orange stays top, black shrug, and camo pants (which I bet would also look great with the orange stripe track pants), and the mauve dress with red/pink blazer! I love when you make outfits from your own closet, bc then A) I get to see all your cool items! and B) I get inspired to make new outfits from my own closet!

Love the black dress over the black dress! Your Canadian tuxedo was on point….I was thinking add a jean jacket…embrace the denim!❤❤

Highly recommend going on a date (friend or significant other) and mimic someone else’s style at the thrift store. It was so much fun to dress up myself and husband. Our theme was urban ninja with lots of layers/anime character vibes.

I love your humour, your quirky style, your knowledge of trends and eras, and YOU as an overall beautiful human being ❤ - keep up the great work!!! XOXO

Loving "the style yourself out of a rut" excersize, thinking I need to tap into the fearless style wise gal I was years ago ....life is short be bold

Omg with the Elmo pelt. I just laughed out loud so much.

Your actual? outfit, the yellow, black, and white is SO great

Fashion rule I read ~ wear black and/or navy, you will not get noticed. Wear any other color, you will get noticed.

Headmistress of the Clown College was schooling us! I loved that outfit! That purpley dress is so cool. 🤡❤🧡💜🤡

I’m in LOVE with that last outfit ugh it’s SO FUN!!!!!! 🤩 It would be cool to add some petticoat-type layers under those skirts to increase their flooffiness ☁️

I loved this video. When you do the no buy thrift stores I'm always sad you don't have the outfits, this is a great way to get the satisfaction of shopping and not buying and you having new outfits to wear!!!!!! AGAIN AGAIN

LOVE the pale yellow outfit!! feeling v inspired by it and your whole vibe

Heyyy, I’m glad you’re feeling better! ☺️✨ A fun episode- sometimes the thrift gods give, but they rarely go totally compliant… Thanks for taking us back to your closet to roll with that reality and put together some genuinely cool outfits!!

I want more cute white and pastel clothing for spring and summer in my wardrobe and hope to find this at the thrift store

"I'll save you the google" Kathleen I was befuddled as soon as you said Candian tuxedo, paused this, did the google, went "ah okay" then came back to you

That furry orange vintage sweater is AMAZING, and looks like a thneed from The Lorax (but make it high fashion) 😆❤️

I found a thneed like this in 1991 and wore it for the next eight years or so. It was a dusty blue gray and I called it my rat wool sweater. Loved that thing. I wish we took pictures in those days. ;)

Absolutely love the final fushia look! Very very you. You've inspired me to have a look through my wardrobe and try pairing some things I wouldn't usually

the purple top with the camo pants and loafers feels like a josuke from jjba outfit! very cute!

i LOVE that last outfit!!!!! it's so wonderfully business-clown. i'm thoroughly inspired

Yeahhh early to a Kathleen video!! My fave past time is crocheting while watching your videos!

The way you said I'm coming for you to the rest of the sesame Street characters 😂😂 ahhh loved it and hunting elmo in the conclusion almost in tears

If I ever get like that when objects try to choke me? Um, YES! Thank you for inspiring me to try out some new combos.

My girl, I love the minihack to use a ring for a bandana/scarf to hold it! Definitely try it 🌼🧡

High five! *Kiss!* 😂 You are original and delightful! Thank you for the fun and the inspiration.

I feel very proud of myself for yelling Orange! when you said you wanted a statement sweater for the Canadian tuxedo and then you brought out this absolute orange glory hkjeqifhoj 🧡

currently in that "i'm so done with dressing warm when spring is here but it's still cold" kinda mindset so thanks for the positivity and extra inspo! i love what you came up with in the end. especially the last one! such a fun statement! you're the funkiest and i love ya

Ooh I love the outfit w the fuchsia dress and red jacket 😍 So pretty!

Was looking for inspiration to get dressed today and saw this new upload. Great timing!

:O just for you!!!

i looooove the creme coloured outfit at 18:00, it's so cooool

I listen to a wide variety of music so when im in a style rut i like to create outfits inspired by the genera or specific songs that im into at the time

Magenta is what came to mind for the dress color.

I am gonna Canadian tuxedo myself to the max tomorrow and nobody can stop me. Loved all the end result outfits and yes the collar/choker gag thing is a problem. Also when a knotted scarf bunches up and hits the adam's apple and one hiking jacket with an annoying under collar thing which can get out of my life RIGHT NOW. K bye.

Head mistress at a Clown College is my style goals most days tbh

So so glad you bought the pants! It was giving me anxiety that you left them behind 😂

omg, no! you added the canadian tuxedo explanation right at the moment when I decided to check what exactly it was! I just took the phone into my hands and you literally saved me a google 😂 it was another level of attuned

me and my friend just went to the thrift store yesterday lookin to find some items I've got on my list! on the way home I was even thinking "hm, maybe I should get some reference images to find the vibe I'm looking for"

you've taught me so much about layering and as a non-binary person that is suuuper helpful for me so thanks!! you help me stay out of the rut :)

I love the shopping your closet of this vid it help reduce the want to buy new to achieve a look when you might already have pieces that work!

RIP Elmo 😢😂❤

🎉being inspired to see if I can make my dream pinterest outfits from what's already in my closet 🎉

I loved the layering and playing with proportions

Laundry day removes a lot of the creative barriers. Also with very limited space and a crappy washer, I got into layering short dressy tops over long sleeve ts and other soft long sleeve tops for work, where sweaters are too hot. I am poor and in various ways started winding up with pants that were too short but not on purpose. Enter wackadoodle socks.

KATHLEEN! You have cinder block walls all throughout your apartment, can you PLEASE MAKE YOUR HOUSE INTO A CASTLE? Like put up fake vines and floral wall motifs and such, maybe some woven tapestries but make it modern? How cool would that be lol sorry just had to share

You have steadily become my favourite KZreadr! I love these videos ❤❤❤

Love the outfits you put together! It’s exactly the ruffly/frilly fun style I’ve been into lately 😍

you never fail to make me feel creative 🤗

I sing old folk songs from Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Silesia and if i'm uninspired I look up some veeery old photos of women in traditional clothing from back in the day and I try to recreate them with things I own. Makes me feel connected to my ancestors and true to myself 😊 but that fuscia dress, Im looking for something similar since i first saw her 😍

Love the plants hanging from the ceiling in there!

You just showed up because of the algorithm I guess but I’m SO happy about it! ❤

Hey new friend! Welcome! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

the cream dress with cream button up and jeans and the boots!!!! so good

What you did with the black pieces is precisely my favorite way to dress. All black, multiple layers upon layers. It's easy to thrift when you only buy one color (in this case, black). I'm jealous of that black tonal striped shirt. Sadly, layers didn't work great when I lived in Florida :(

love the last one in particular, but all of them are so cute!

Best day of the weeeeek!!🎉

Love the idea of blending two different styles like the frilly and baggy combo!

Canadian tuxedo accessory should be a toque. CANADIAN a close-fitting knitted hat, often with a tassel or pom-pom on the crown.

Thank you so much, Kathleen! I m here for every one of your videos! Sorry I do such a bad job at showing up in your comments section. Your videos really help me keep and open mind to style with the changing dynamic of thrift stores, as well as my ever morphing body. This video already helped me incorporate a vest I got for Christmas into an outfit. I love the idea idea of vests but they don’t always work with my pear hips. Thank you! Great job! Keep going with the flow!

You’re so kind! Thank you 😭💕 hope you find lots of options for new outfits from your closet this spring ☀️💐

That last outfit! Perfection!

This is a great idea! When I get in a style rut, I clean out my closet and dresser and the shop my closet, but I love this idea - shop your closet with Pinterest ideas! Also I like you a lot and I wish we could go thrifting together because you always make me see things differently and I like that okay sorry to make it awkward byeee

Oh and when I’m in a rut, I watch your videos and Beepworld’s ❤

I love the way the journey went!!❤

The last outfit is totally my cup of tea🤩🤌🏻 I love the dress by itself but with the blazer it’s so cute and fun🌸

I loved watching the journey!

I enjoy your content a lot Kathleen. I clearly don’t have your style, but I love how you inspire me to play and get out of my rut.

so glad you got the track pants!!

I loved it! Love the realness and as always the creativity! I loved the last two! That cream on cream! Such a cool combo. Then the purple number. Super funky but totally works.

Your closet is my absolute DREAM closet, from the dresser to the wood "wall" in front of your hanging clothes (60s-70s lover 😅), organised hanging clothes and to just have a closet full of clothes that fit, to play with 😍 I will keep this video in favorites to help me walk towards my goals in life! Thank you for being awesome!! 🤩 I just made myself a very happy skirt, from maaaany small squares sewn together, all of different coloured and pattern fabrics, a see through lace detail and to top it of, a half underskirt in a 60s/70s pattern that peeks out on the bottom, going to debute it "to the world" tomorrow, so excited, a bit scared, people will most likely look a me a bit funny and I'm not very confident in my currently heavy "bodysuit", but I need to be my colourful self 😅🤩
