here are some things i thrifted in nyc :)

[Music] hey guys so it's been a while yeah that's because unexpectedly there's just incredibly loud construction in my apartment building for an entire month so that's great anyways the construction workers are like on a lunch break right now so i'm gonna record this video as fast as possible before they get back and can hear me through the incredibly thin walls of my apartment complex uh just talking to myself about thrifty clothing currently i have a large and ever-growing colony of thrifted floor thrifted floor thrifted clothes waiting on my floor to show you guys but first here's a little tour of my favorite thrift stores in new york and where i got just tell me what you want from me i don't know what happened i don't know how we got here [Music] so my favorite spot for thrifting is right off the morgan avenue stop in bushwick where there are two massive thrift stores on the same block for maximum thrifting efficiency the first is el train vintage where prices run from around 10 for a t-shirt to 40 for a leather jacket unfortunately it's definitely more expensive than goodwill or salvation army but in exchange they have a pretty well curated selection so i think the price is kind of fair for what you get particularly the men's section in the fall and winter absolutely snaps with preppy quarter zips and sweaters and vintage jackets and corduroy and denim and leather and like literally any fabric you can dream of can you tell i'm getting a little bit turned on just talking about it [Music] the other thrift store right around the corner is called urban jungle which is much larger and much less expensive the prices here run around five to ten dollars for a t-shirt ten dollars for jeans and dresses and ten to twenty dollars for jackets the first time i walked in here my little thrifting heart almost exploded because it's literally just like a warehouse full of clothes i honestly don't think my clips do it justice it is so huge it can be pretty overwhelming because there's so much stuff to look through but i've always had good luck finding some fancy vintage pieces in the dress section if i don't want to pop out to brooklyn my go-to in manhattan is surprise surprise another l train vintage this one is an east village and it's definitely smaller and more expensive than the bushwick locations because well just about everything is smaller and more expensive in manhattan but it still manages to cram a pretty sizable selection between its two floors i usually have the most luck searching for graphic tees and jackets here [Music] there's also a goodwill near union square that i've gotten a couple things from it's super well organized but the selection is pretty small and largely consists of clothes from like the 2000s and 2010s from brands like j crew banana republic madewell american eagle rather than those like super old funky obscure vintage pieces that i'm usually on the hunt for it is a really great spot though if you're looking for more modern or professional clothes and lastly i also did some thrifting randomly out in like the northern new jersey suburbs i forgot to get video footage so i only have these super cringy photos i took in the car but honestly i found some really cool stuff there and in my opinion a fancy new york thrift store will never be the stuff you can find for like five dollars in a suburban goodwill and that concludes my thrift store tour here's the haul you see what i'm saying about the construction noise so the first thing i got is this blue quilted jacket i don't know why i nearly just forgot the word jacket there um it's been a smooth brain year for me i'm going to be honest it has a contrast corduroy collar princess caroline i am coming for your alliteration game you guys know i am a hoe for anything corduroy and i love how it made the collar really stand out on the jacket i also really like this kind of triangular silhouette it like flares out at the bottom it kind of reminds me of like the 60s jackie kennedy and or an animal crossing character take your pick underneath i'm wearing this lacoste sweater that i also thrifted this is just a v-neck sweater that's pretty easy to find in the men's section but what i do to style it is i layer a colored shirt underneath and then i kind of just like pull up the hem and then drape the sweater over itself so it crops the length a little bit and then with a skirt and some boots you have that like trendy school girl look uh that's like a little bit pedophilic but um just to the extent that society will tolerate it here's the jacket styled pants it's a little more casual but still gives me big like young hillary clinton vibes this outfit really says i'm ready to dedicate my entire life's work to becoming an incredibly intelligent well-read and thoughtful politician and still somehow lose the presidency to a reality tv star they ask you how you are you just have to say that you're fine and you're not really fine recently i've had pretty good luck in the men's section finding like preppy men's quarter zips i don't know what you would call this blues clues cosplay owning a yacht cosplay actually understanding the rules of water polo cosplay being emotionally unavailable cosplay young republicans club cosplay real talk my sexuality almost entirely revolves around movies of men in suits think joseph gordon-levitt in inception suits the tv show which is kind of self-explanatory [Music] for some reason i cannot for the life of me think of a third movie where a man wears a suit even though i'm pretty sure it's nearly all of them point is nothing tickles my [ __ ] peach like a man in business where but little did i know when i moved to la that la is an absolute desert of men in anything closely resembling business wear i did not see a man in khakis khakis for three years until one day when i was walking around campus and i saw like a group of three handsome dudes in khakis and i was like this is my chance this is my chance turns out that they were promoting the young republicans club i did still [ __ ] one of them though [Music] girl look at me in this dress look at me in this dress yes i did fold the hem about three inches higher so it would barely cover my ass because if you don't accidentally flash someone a little bit of your ass during a new year's party what did jesus die for it's velvet it's got a little sparkly detail around the top um the puff sleeve this is kind of a grown-up version of that dress and is what i would wear if i were like the president in a political drama trying to tell russia to stop making such weird memes about our elections i love this dramatic neckline though and the peplum i feel like this is a dress that will look way better on me once i'm like 40 or 50 and i'm like sophisticated confident stop taking [ __ ] from men will that ever happen i don't know let's find out but when it does i will wear this dress it truly would not be a thrift haul in 2020 without a sweater vest i got this one from the men's section and it's a little oversized but luckily for me my one special talent is stuffing a truly obscene amount of fabric into my pants the key is like you reach down and you smooth it all the way down your butt like don't let it bunch up around the waistband you just want one layer of fabric going all the way down then you pull out the edges it around a little bit i like to bring some of the excess fabric towards the back so it's not so wrinkly in the front zip your pants all the way up because you forgot to do that and there you go it's a little poofy up here in the back but at least it doesn't look like i shout myself so i'll take it the shirt i'm wearing underneath well bam surprise has also thrifted who would have guessed it who would have thought not me this is a little silky number from ann taylor loft i thought the cut of it was so gorgeous and feminine and i love the little ruching detail on this sleeve i just already know this is going to be such a good staple in my wardrobe i'm going to be able to wear it with jackets with pants with skirts with dresses with underwear it's so versatile sorry i'm like kind of losing it because i just realized how like contrived the way that you're supposed to talk about fashion on the internet is and like then when i start saying stuff like oh it's so cute and it would go so well with denim i'm like oh [ __ ] no i'm that's not my actual voice that's just me talking in the pre-established vernacular of fashion youtube that i've been watching for years that have also been talking in for years um so that's my weekly existential crisis what's yours share in the comments below anyhow i thought this top was cute and it reminds me of something that like zoe de chanel's character in 500 days of summer would wear which for some reason i have internalized as kind of the pinnacle of all style hence the bang and my deep-rooted attraction to angsty white boys i also thrifted this jacket i thought it was just a really unique cut it's got puff sleeves it's got a peplum it also has this tartan lining which i thought was so cool so in order to match the lining i paired it with some corduroy pants some polka dots just to like add different patterns and textures i don't know here's another way i'd style this jacket with some matching boots and a purse and a dress i'm just naming things that you can see on screen this reminds me of something that blair waldorf would wear in gossip girl when she's trying to be down to earth and casual when she goes to visit brooklyn also can we just talk about the fact that in gossip girl they completely ignored the fact that the distance between the upper east side and brooklyn is like an hour by like several different trains also the fact that dan's family lives in such a nice loft in brooklyn that there's definitely no way his dad could afford because it would be like seven thousand dollars a month and even more unrealistic the fact that they never saw a full pack of rats running across the street hi ma'am sorry do you need a very specific allen ranch that i will never use again but for some reason have saved and will probably never throw out one invisalign tray that i lost the other side of or this ear canal disinfectant that cost 264 dollars without health insurance but i still had to buy and only use for one week oh you do thank god well good thing i had these overalls yeah i got these overalls bob the builder wishes he had this style they look like this the legs are nice and flowy which i actually find kind of weirdly comforting it reminds me of like when a hoodie is oversized and it goes over your hands that's like this but for my feet one of the straps is broken but i've just been tying it in a knot because i'm too lazy to fix it right now i've mostly been styling it either with just a bra and leaving this little sexual overall side of my torso cut out or i go full-on mario and style it with this red leather red leather jacket red leather yellow leather i was only a theater kid for like one year so i don't remember the rest of that i can still zip that like a [ __ ] though zip zap anyhow i really like this leather jacket i love how bold it is um i put my i voted sticker on it because it matched the color scheme and because i love to value signal that i voted in this election just like everybody else on the internet the past couple months i must have been blessed by the leather jacket gods or something because i also found this one look at that my dude it has pink racer stripes and a little corset lace-up detail this leather jacket is honestly like cooler than i am like if i went to high school with this leather jacket i would not be invited to their parties also just by coincidence i already happen to own this top which matches the color scheme of this jacket perfectly it even has the exact same little style of pink inserts so i thought they went really well together i feel really cool in this outfit i feel like a spice girl or like a sexy power ranger so the things i thrift generally fall into one of three categories first basics that i wear all the time they go with anything second statement pieces that i have to build an outfit around and thirdly absolutely absurd vintage dresses that i have no reason to wear or to own but i just saw them and went ooh pretty i want that so yeah this is a dress that i own now i don't know why but i like it a lot it has this incredible ruched bodice with a floral embroidery detail and it came with this strap of fabric i don't really know what to call this um and i thought it was kind of dumb but then i laid it over my shoulders and all of a sudden understood the drama this is essentially the fabric equivalent of holding a spatula in your hand for emphasis how dare you insult me at my own ball papa fetch the chickens from the back oh archibald if only you did what you did to me oh thank you thank you that was my audition for disney's next multicultural princess it's the exact same plotline they've made for hundreds of years and she still kind of has eurocentric features but it's refreshing and diverse because she's mixed oh [ __ ] what if i like draped it like a cape excuse me excuse me that is so cute i thought this dress was cool because it has a flower embroidered on it look at how ridiculously huge that flower is it's so cute and i paired it with my funky strappy loafers and i thought maybe i would add one [Music] little statement bag like this one that i also thrifted okay my caffeine high is officially wearing off and the construction workers are going to come back in a second so speed round of tops that i've drifted this vintage pink one for tea time with my british grandmother she's dead now but let's ignore that for this video this ariana grande vibes top for dating a guy who you guys say looks like pete davidson but i think he's just a white boy who's sleep deprived which is almost the same thing but not quite this shirt which i probably should not be wearing as an atheist this top for when i spend a truly obscene amount of time making over apartments that i will only ever live in for one year and this top for when i'm 50 flirty and trying to not so subtly signal that i'm interested in younger men and that is all i have for you guys thank you so much for watching my floor has come full circle and is now once again a gigantic pile of thrifted clothes it's the circle of life i don't think any of those notes were correct i'm so sorry thanks for watching and i'll see you guys soon [Music] bye
