But I agree, it takes a lot of time and energy. That's why I mainly focus on clothes for Oskar when I buy second hand, he's a bit easier to dress than my picky body </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1957018 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 17:12:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1957018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to learn the German expression, only know that I'm buying something "aus zweiter Hand". Whenever we finally get our own place, I plan to source all our cutlery, glasses, dishes, etc from flea markets, and I have a list of furniture I'd like to get second hand too, although that's more likely to be online. For clothing though, I don't have the patience for thrifting. I can barely muster the patience for regular brick &amp; morter stores. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1957007 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 16:26:46 +0000 Karin L H 1957007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, interesting, FashIntern! Yes, charity shops sounds more familiar to me, and that's also how we translate it into Swedish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956930 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 08:57:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1956930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the floral dress, and the others look like good basics. </p> <p>I think the Brits call them charity shops. I just went looking for why we say “thrift” and found this, which is more than you need to know, but might be mildly interesting. <a href="https://daily.jstor.org/how-thrift-stores-were-born/" rel="nofollow">https://daily.jstor.org/how-th.....were-born/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956926 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 08:26:14 +0000 Karin L H 1956926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks La Pedestrienne! It's our house and garden in the background:)</p> <p>Thanks shevia and Joy, and great suggestion Joy! I'll look it up. Do you know if they ship internationally? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956899 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 03:40:30 +0000 Anonymous 1956899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the floral dress. Eileen Fisher has an online store where one can get items that are used but refurbished. Renew. Two of my summer workhorses came from that site, both light jackets. My favorite is a white jean jacket made of handkerchief linen. The inventory is constantly changing. You can do returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956895 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 02:51:37 +0000 Jaime 1956895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great floral dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956864 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 23:17:28 +0000 LaPed 1956864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do most of my thrifting online, through sites like eBay and Etsy, because the local secondhand scene near me is pretty uninspiring. Agree that it's much easier to shop secondhand for children; finding stuff for DS takes up most of my brick &amp;mortar shopping time/energy, another reason why I've turned to online shopping for myself and DH.</p> <p>All of these look like good finds, but I especially love the floral dress on you -- and what a beautiful outdoor backdrop as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956860 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 23:00:30 +0000 Karin L H 1956860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks SO much everyone, I'm so happy to hear that the dress was such a good find! I brought it along for a networking lunch meeting I have this week, will feel even more confident in it now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956855 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 22:53:01 +0000 Becky 1956855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds!

I like the green top too. Congrats on the fantastic thrifting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956765 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 17:06:06 +0000 cindysmith 1956765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, thrifting is shopping secondhand. Consignment is a fancier form of thrifting, and often has more expensive brands.</p> <p>I think you're knocking it out of the park with your thrifting. That dress is adorable and it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956744 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 15:31:21 +0000 Karin L H 1956744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Angie! Great to hear </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956719 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 14:45:30 +0000 Angie 1956719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the floral dress. KILLER on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956680 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 12:24:28 +0000 Karin L H 1956680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ChrisM! I was a bit unclear in my post - I always struggle with thrifted clothes, online or IRL. I like the idea of buying second hand, but I have a quite specific idea of which types of clothes I want for my body, and that can be hard to find with second hand. I buy quite a lot online normally, but often order two different sizes since they can be so different, and that was what I was thinking about with the struggle of buying second hand online. One size, no return etc. So I was happy when these were a good a fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956668 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 11:32:35 +0000 ChrisM 1956668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral dress is lovely! I think the teal top is a good color for you too - we’ll done! </p> <p>I shop second hand online regularly and have found good items at good prices.</p> <p>I struggle thrifting IRL - the smells, the volume of STUFF to paw through sends me right back out the door - although I’ve promised to foist myself on cindysmith when she goes because she’s posted about some really big scores recently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956654 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 10:12:03 +0000 Karin L H 1956654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks jussie! I was a bit unsure about the dress at first, I liked it but felt a bit overwhelmed by the print. But I think I just had to get used to it, now I really like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956648 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 09:58:01 +0000 jussie 1956648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of these look nice. My favorite is the floral dress </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrifted-onlineone-extra#post-1956644 Sat, 15 Sep 2018 09:50:08 +0000 Karin L H 1956644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being Swedish I've come to understand that thrifting is sort of shopping second hand? Am I right? Can it also be used for buying second hand online? Here we have some home pages where people or companies can sell used clothes at a good price. I think it's tricky to find something for me on those sites (easier with clothes for Oskar!), but now I've found two pieces that I like. Any thoughts?</p> <p>#1 floral dress, black leggings, black boots<br /> #2 green loose top, black skinnies, black boots<br /> Added #3 which is another recent purchase, a basic grey tee, semi-tucked into black skinnies, white converse, and a golden necklace</p> <p>Any comments, thoughts or ideas are as always much appreciated! </p>
