Welcome to the show my friends.
First up this morning,
most of the fall Fashion Week shows have
finished and while I loved many of the looks,
this shows often leave me wondering can I
really wear that or can I really afford that?
And that's why we have stylist Darcy Camden.
She's been to all the shows and is ready
to show us these runway looks for less.
And I love this is my favorite,
favorite segment we do sometimes.
Ohh, I wish I'd been to all the shows.
The New York, the Paris,
the Milan, the fashion community.
Has been busy over the last 5-6 weeks
showing all the new collections.
And confusingly, what was just on the
runway a couple weeks ago was Spring 2023.
Yes. So we won't get into all of that.
That is the hottest.
You know, the hot couture.
Like yeah, they look way ahead,
but we're still looking at fall.
But it's helpful when you're
thinking about what are the trends,
what are the trends going to be coming up,
right.
And I just love seeing what the
designers put on the runway.
It's fantasy, it's art, it's.
Not usually. Very relatable.
I don't know.
Yeah.
How do you translate this or wearing it?
Some of them are wild.
Did you see that one fashion
show that literally looked like
it was in like a garbage?
I mean, yeah, it was through the mud.
It was, I think Eve saint-laurent.
There's now I I don't even get
me started about that. I know.
I get it. Little crazy design. Hmm.
But you're gonna help us translate these
looks and and make them look fabulous.
But for less you thrifted these.
I went to Seattle.
Goodwill.
Evergreen goodwill.
And I took a couple of my favorite runway
trends and tried to find similar like
recreations and I think we got really close,
which is exciting knowing that you
can kind of get the look right for,
I mean a mere fraction of what some
of these designers pieces would cost.
And I think that's also a great way to
to stay in style but also be sustainable.
I know,
completely sick of buying new clothes.
I don't know about you.
I just, I'm this dress I bought is.
Thrifted. Calvin Klein.
I love the life cycle of thrift.
You know, something that somebody else
doesn't necessarily need anymore. Right?
Takes on a new life with a new owner.
It's wonderful. Amen to that.
OK, well, let's get started.
Our first look is menswear,
but we're not having male models come out.
What's going on?
So this is inspired by Ralph Lauren.
This is, I I think, my favorite.
I love a suit.
I'm wearing a suit today.
I just love a crisp, neutral suit.
I think it's so classic and beautiful.
And so we have two.
Models coming up,
professional models from Seattle.
Talent showing us the looks and OK,
head to toe. Seattle goodwill.
I tallied it all up. Ohh.
We came in under $35 for
each of these outfits.
Head to toe. Are you kidding?
Yes. And so my trick here is
to shop all over the store.
Men's Department, kids department,
all areas of the Women's department.
There's really lots to find.
And the manager of the.
Shoreline Goodwill told me that
they have never seen more men's
Blazers because so many people are
getting rid of them because office
culture is going more casual and
not as many people are buying them.
So I found so many really awesome Blazers.
So what about the sex?
Did you are those men's slacks
that are women slacks? OK,
each outfit is sort of a mash-up of men's,
women's, and there's a couple of kids,
boys, boys. Vest. Is bought.
There's a couple. Yeah.
The vests are boys. Vest.
I love that because it made just a
little bit smaller tailored for.
Yeah, a lady.
And then you've got you've
got these scarves I love.
No, it's part of the blouse.
Yeah.
So it's really cool to look through
everything at Goodwill is unique.
Right. Every piece is there's
there's only one of them.
And so to look at the details
and think about what it could be,
how it could come to life in an
outfit is really really fun. OK.
Thank you. Model Hugh. Ladies.
Alright. Our next look is neon.
Mm-hmm. So highlighter green.
Yes, we love that.
The Seahawks and the action friends,
the schooler.
This was all over.
And the great thing when you're
shopping thrift and you're looking
for this color in particular is
that it's really easy to see.
Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Right.
You know, so it popped out to me.
This jacket was the first thing I found.
And I was like,
that looks like a designer
saying it's also a warm coat.
It was also a dollar $99.99 because
I went on a Monday and on Mondays
every tag of a certain color is $1.99
so that's a pro tip is to shop on Monday.
It's this awesome sweatshirt,
awesome sweatshirt.
And then we should highlight
the shoe which is known in the
fashion world as an ugly shoe.
It's quite ugly.
Quite quite ugly. Ohh that is.
But you are rocking that.
I found so many ugly shoes
and they're great and.
You know, at a designer, a designer label,
that would be thousands of dollars.
Absolutely. And so it's really cool
to know that we can get it thrifted.
You looking good, my friend.
I love that outfit.
Thank you so much.
I like what you said, by the way.
Highlight. Highlight them. Yep.
Highlighter, highlighter colors.
Our third look is the classic.
So Carolina Herrera is sort
of the pinnacle of this.
It's a classic white,
white shirt, black pants,
skirt,
maybe a leopard in there because
leopard is a classic neutral.
I love this.
That's what our model is wearing.
And I just like mentioning this
because you know a lot of,
as we were saying, a lot of the
things we see on the runway are so
just irrelevant to everyday life.
But this is something that I think
someone would actually wear.
Taken right from the runway,
the shirt is a men shirt, pro tip,
look beyond your size range.
So like in women's wear, I looked, she
would normally probably be a
small, but I looked in medium,
I looked in large.
Especially if you're
doing a a shirt like this.
Yeah, an Oxford shirt.
It's cool to have it a little bit.
Big and then tie it or tuck it.
And you taught me that trick where
you just yeah, cross and tuck it in.
Cross and that leopard,
you can leave that here. That leopard.
Isn't that so pretty here.
Original tags still on.
And I love finding things where
there's the original tag it was
$60.00 and then there's that
goodwill tag and it's much much less.
I am stealing this look in my mind
right now putting it in my closet.
Thank you so much.
You look fabulous. Alright,
our last look monochrome and I favorite.
This look.
Yeah we saw this together.
We saw this at Bellevue
Collection Fashion Week.
Ohh you one of the top fashion
weeks internationally obviously
and this was a Michael Kors
look that is currently available
at the Bellevue Collection.
Love it.
And guess what I recreated
at Seattle Goodwill.
So we just and doing monochrome is
one of the easiest trends to to do
at a thrift store especially goodwill
because it's organized by color.
So I decided I was going to do Burgundy
and everything is organized by type by.
Size and then by color.
So I was able to kind of deep
dive into Burgundy and find all
the different components of
this look and I love it.
The jackets, just a slight,
slightly darker tone.
And the jacket really is the,
the, the star of the show.
I mean that every one of us have been like,
where did you get that jacket
and how much did you pay, $1.99.
And it is beautiful. It is so well made.
It's vintage. It's wool. It's vintage.
Yes. Do you really want to keep it?
I mean, I mean, love beautiful house.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm cold.
Maybe that one doesn't have
to go back to goodwill.
I mean, I'm just saying it's so pretty.
I do love a coat.
It's like treasure hunting.
And when you can use runway
images as your inspiration,
it kind of gives you a road map
through the thrift store and you
can find some really cool stuff,
and I love it.
So we're going to take a look.
We're gonna have all the models come
out again because I want to hear,
I heard that you had some incredible tips
for this. So I want you to share
some of these wonderful tips that
you've gleaned from, from thrifting
and hunting through the goodwill.
And I put some tips on the website.
So everyone can kind of deep into there, but,
you know, I just really think, first of all,
be OK with leaving with nothing, OK? OK.
And also, you're gonna find some cool stuff.
You're gonna find some weird stuff,
and you're gonna find some stuff that's like,
it's a dollar.
Maybe I should just get this.
Yeah, think about how it goes into an outfit,
OK? Think about how you would wear it.
Think about how it works with the
clothes that you already have,
and imagine whole,
whole head to toe outfits and
where you would wear them.
And always cause it can be confusing when
you find something cool and it's only
$0.99 you think you should just get it.
But you know I shop at thrift
store like I shop any other store.
Yeah.
With intention with kind of a plan but
also being open to anything cool that I
wasn't necessarily expecting to find.
I love it.
Darcy, thank you so much for sharing. All.
Thank you with us and all these models.
Thank you. This has been so fun.
And now that I.
