  • *struggling shoe noises*

  • music

  • Hey guys and welcome to the part of the video

  • where I tell you what you could probably already infer from the title.

  • Which is that today: I'm going to be styling some thrift store outfits.

  • The thing that I used to find intimidating about thrifting is that

  • nothing looks perfect on you when you just try it on plain in the fitting room

  • and it took me a couple years to figure out that thrifting is really all about the styling.

  • so in this video

  • I thought I would dispel my years of thrifting wisdom upon you guys

  • and share my tips and tricks for how to style the most

  • common pieces of clothing that you find in thrift stores from graphic t-shirts, oversized blazers, to

  • vintage dresses and turn something that you bought for like $5 at Goodwill into a really cute outfit.

  • So, that is the video you're watching right now. Let's get started.

  • So I am starting with the most basic of all basics: a thrift store t-shirt.

  • T-shirts are obviously really easy and affordable to thrift,

  • but of course normally they end up a bit oversized on me,

  • especially if I find them in the men's section.

  • So I have a couple techniques for how to make this look a little bit

  • cuter and a little bit less ~lumptastic~.

  • My first technique is literally the thing I've been doing since I was 11 years old in band camp in middle school

  • and that is tying a knot at the front of my t-shirt.

  • I am just gathering the fabric in the front and tying it around itself into a regular knot,

  • like so.

  • You want to make sure when you tie the knot that there's just a little bit of fabric peeking out here,

  • you don't want it to be like super long because it does look a little bit

  • penile,

  • so I just keep it short and like a little micro peen or like a clitoris or something. I don't know.

  • This is too sexual already. I apologize to any children watching this video.

  • Now if your shirt isn't long enough to tie itself in a knot, you can also use a little hair tie in my opinion the

  • thinner the better. So this one is a tiny little clear elastic. Since they're so small and clear

  • they don't really show up when you tie your shirt. So it looks a little bit more...

  • I wouldn't call it chic because it's literally a knotted oversized t-shirt. But like it looks it looks nice.

  • Here we go: same technique

  • I'm basically just twisting the t-shirt a little bit,

  • pulling it around itself, and then

  • putting that elastic on top. It's basically just like making a little bun in your hair.

  • So this one is really cute as well. It doesn't have the nub sticking out the middle

  • so if that bothers you this is a good technique.

  • If you're feeling a little bit extra, my last option is to use a scrunchie that matches one of the colors on your shirt.

  • So, I have a little bit of dark red on this shirt so I'm gonna use a dark red scrunchie.

  • This is a little bit chunkier and more noticeable than the other styles,

  • but if you want to go for that like ~faux 90s nostalgia~ because, let's be honest: none of us remember the 90s

  • I was born in '98.

  • This is the look for you and it can be kind of cute to have a little matching color

  • going on.

  • And if all of that is a little bit too middle-school for you

  • you can of course just tuck your oversized t-shirt into a high waisted pair of denim.

  • Since this t-shirt is so long like you really got to get in there when you tuck it in,

  • smooth that fabric *all the way down* the booty.

  • Fist that down there.

  • Okay, once you get it all tucked in, what I like to do is kind of zhuzh the extra fabric

  • onto the back so that the front looks a little bit smoother and less like crinkly.

  • Zhuzh this part out a little bit so that it looks a little bit more relaxed.

  • To finish up this outfit, I'm going to throw on some vintage-y accessories

  • that also tie in the color scheme of this top.

  • Take a shot every time I say "vintage" in this video and you will

  • need to go to the hospital by the time you're done watching.

  • So I have this headband from Madewell that I'm gonna tie on top

  • because I think it ties in with the whole like vintage

  • summer vacation vibe and also has the same color scheme as the t-shirt.

  • For shoes, I'm gonna go for these vintage-inspired Nike shoes...

  • again, I'm saying vintage so much in this video.

  • I am mildly infuriated that these are a pure white and this is more of an eggshell,

  • but we're just gonna ignore that for the sake of this video and pretend like they match perfectly.

  • *struggling*

  • Here's our completed outfit.

  • You know, pretty basic, but I think the accessories tie it all together

  • and considering that I got this t-shirt for like two dollars -

  • I think we're not doing too bad.

  • Next up, I wanted to talk about how to style a men's blazer from the thrift store.

  • And particularly, a men's blazer with a shit-ton of shoulder pads.

  • I don't know what it was about the 80s

  • but oh boy, did they love their shoulder pads

  • Oh my gosh, is that Kanye in the I love it music video because

  • those are some fucking chunky shoulders.

  • So first up

  • I wanted to show you guys how not to style this blazer, which is with a body con dress.

  • Especially for me, since I have pretty broad shoulders,

  • the shoulder pads on this jacket are just gonna create a really top-heavy look

  • if I don't have something to balance it out at the bottom.

  • So instead I'm going for that has more volume at the bottom.

  • This is a fit-and-flare skirt,

  • so it flares out and makes my hips look a little bit wider.

  • And to complete my professorial vibes, I threw on this turtleneck which is also thrifted.

  • So now when we put the blazer back on...

  • The volume of the shoulder pads is balanced out by the volume in the skirt a little bit better.

  • Another thing I look for when I'm styling a longer jacket is something that defines my waistline.

  • So with the color difference between the sweater and the skirt

  • you can actually see the waistband where my waistline is

  • which helps give me the illusion of that hourglass figure

  • that we're constantly searching for apparently.

  • All right. I picked out some matching shoes and a bag.

  • And with that we have a complete Blair Waldorf meets Heathers outfit.

  • Of course you can't make a thrift store video without talking about vintage denim.

  • Now unfortunately, I have the absolute worst luck thrifting jeans,

  • so these shorts are the closest thing that I have.

  • Originally these were like size 40 men's Levi's that I turned into shorts.

  • I actually call these shorts my "poopy shorts" because they look like a giant diaper that I, like,

  • took a poop in because they're so big.

  • I'm a classy gal. Yes, I am 21 years old and still laughing about poop.

  • I like to balance out the generally looser silhouette of vintage denim with

  • a girly crop top.

  • I've said this in so many videos before but basically if one item of clothing is loose,

  • I like to balance it out by showing more skin like the ~*sexy sexy midriff skin*~ that's shown right now

  • ...or by having a tighter article of clothing up top.

  • And vice versa: if my top was really loose, I like to have something more form-fitting on the bottom.

  • I'm going for these platform espadrilles because they're funky, they're summery,

  • and they match the white in my top.

  • And then I'm gonna add this beachy bag to complete ᵗʰᶦˢ ˢᵘᵐᵐᵉʳʸ ˡᵒᵒᵏ *cough* voice crack.

  • I am too old for this.

  • And here is the finished look

  • Even though these are shorts the same technique pretty much applies to looser fitting

  • vintage denim: in that you can just pair it with a tighter top,

  • maybe with some platform shoes or pointed toe to add a tailored

  • detail and you're good to go.

  • Another common problem that I run into in thrift stores is finding an adorable vintage dress like this one,

  • but the fit is just a little bit awkward.

  • You guys have seen this dress before so too long on it, but basically as is it's a super cute print

  • but the fit is just

  • ~sack-tacular~ it's not great,

  • so my technique for making ill-fitting dresses fit a little bit better without having to grab a sewing machine is

  • to tie something around the waist.

  • So this is a scrap of fabric that I bought from a Goodwill outlet for like ten cents,

  • but you can also get creative with it. You can buy ribbon from Joanne's or Michaels,

  • it should cost you only like around a dollar or $2 for a yard.

  • I just go ahead and tie that baby around my waist. Since this one is a little bit long,

  • I'm looping it over twice, bringing the bow to the front

  • so now we have this nice and defined waistline, but the dress is still a bit long.

  • So what I like to do is zhuzh up the top section of the dress

  • I'm basically pulling it up and out a little bit.

  • This will make the top section more drapey and make the bottom section a little bit shorter.

  • Alright, and now the fit is a lot better! Looks less like a grandma dress and more like a Reformation dress

  • which is always the goal on this channel.

  • And to finish up this look I'm gonna be adding this

  • aggressively oversized corduroy jacket that I thrifted from the men's section.

  • To solve these noodle arms, I always cuff the sleeves of my oversized jackets a couple times.

  • This helps an oversized jacket look a little bit more tailored and less like I'm swimming in corduroy,

  • even though that would sound lovely and incredibly cozy.

  • Lastly I'm gonna add this little wooden bag and then our look is complete.

  • I actually wear this outfit a lot this is like my favorite

  • going to a cafe

  • "I want to be cute

  • but also stay comfortable and snuggle inside a nice warm cloud of corduroy" type of look.

  • Here is another example of a vintage dress that fits little bit awkwardly,

  • so I have this gingham strip of fabric.

  • Same as before: I'm just tying this around my waist.

  • I really like that this has a bit of a thick waistband because it basically creates a new waistline,

  • before the waistline was up here, now the waistline is here right around my actual waist.

  • To finish off this look I'm just gonna add some white accessories,

  • I thought these boots would be a cool 60s go-go dancer inspired look

  • and be a little bit less basic than just pairing it with sandals.

  • I actually broke the zipper pull on this boot because they forgot to take off the security tag.

  • I was like smashing the security tag on the counter and

  • lo and behold, it took off the zipper pull too.

  • So now I just have to zip it up with my fucking fingernails.

  • And I'm also adding this fun little crystal bag that

  • holds absolutely, nothing inside it but it looks really pretty and it's white so it matches the rest of the outfit.

  • Another really common thrift store find is this type of lacy silky cami.

  • I always find them in the pajama section.

  • Because this top has such thin straps,

  • I personally prefer just to go braless, but you can also get those little sticky nipple covers

  • and stick those onto your boobs.

  • Honestly I like passed the point in my life where I'm gonna

  • adhesive things to my nipples, like if people see my nipples they see my nipples. It's fine.

  • I was doing a shoot yesterday and my nipples kept falling out

  • and like the entire crew saw my nipples and like

  • honestly, that was like a four out of ten embarrassing moment in my life. It was fine.

  • The editor is gonna have a lot of fun with that one, though.

  • If your boobs need a little more support a little more loving though

  • I would just recommend a bra or bralette with a lacy strap,

  • so the parts that peak out still look nice and dainty. Since these camis are so soft and feminine,

  • I like to (say with me kids) ~juxtapose~ them with the casual vibe of

  • a high-waisted pair of jeans.

  • Like I do with all my tops, I'm just gonna tuck this baby in to define my waistline.

  • Oh by the way, somebody asked me on one of my last videos. What does it mean to lose your waist?

  • So by that I mean like losing sight of your waist like here

  • it doesn't look like I necessarily have a waistline because it's not

  • defined or cinched in it all and especially if you're a little bit more like a boyish straight up-and-down figure like me,

  • it's really important to define your waistline,

  • so it looks like you have a little bit more of a hourglass figure or so

  • the traditional rules of fashion goes.

  • After I tuck this top in, since it's a little bit big for me still

  • I like to zhuzh the extra fabric like to the back. So I just pull these sections backwards

  • so like I have more pouf in the back and the front looks a little bit more streamlined.

  • I have this again incredibly impractical purse but it's a super cute leopard print and I like this gold chain

  • because for me, like, having a crossbody chain is basically like having an extra piece of jewelry.

  • Because it adds that extra piece of embellishment

  • it just goes across your chest instead of like being a necklace or an earring.

  • As you can probably tell us from, like, all of my outfits

  • I'm really into matching the little details and colors and patterns in my outfit.

  • So it makes me so happy that my leopard on my purse will match the little leopard detail on my shoes

  • All right, here is the finished look.

  • I feel like a sassy 2000s Paris Hilton ready to like flip off the paparazzi.

  • Wearing lingerie as a top can, of course, feel a little bit uncomfortable for a lot of people if you aren't like

  • just as liberal with your boobs as I am.

  • So you can also layer a t-shirt underneath or something that feels a little bit more conservative.

  • Okay, not that conservative because my skirt is literally, like, four inches long.

  • I went with this black t-shirt because I like the contrast between the black and the lighter color of the cami,

  • and it also allows this lace to like really pop against the dark background.

  • And for the rest of the outfit

  • I just chose accessories and a skirt that had both the tan tones of the camisole and the black tones of the top

  • so the whole outfit looks nice and cohesive.

  • Now one of my favorite things when thrifting is finding silk button-ups because they are so expensive if you buy them regular price

  • and they sell them for, like, under $10 at a thrift store. But of course, they're not always the perfect fit,

  • this is a theme in this video; again, this top is very oversized.

  • I basically unbuttoned all of the bottom buttons and do a little sexy stripper dance to it -

  • that is a required part -

  • and then I just grabbed the two ends, tie it in a knot once

  • get that nice and tight around my waist, tie a second knot to secure it.

  • And there you go. Now my tops cinches in my waist

  • it fits really well and it has this cool bow detail.

  • And to finish off this look, I'm gonna add some lavender heels just because I've been loving pastels recently

  • and I thought it would be a cool little pop of color.

  • Recently, I thrifted this dress and, I shit you not, but if I am still alive by the time a man proposes to me

  • I genuinely think I would wear this to my wedding, which is amazing,

  • but then also poses the problem when I'm trying to wear in everyday life and not look like a runaway bride.

  • Now you guys might not have found your wedding dress at the thrift store

  • but it is pretty common to find a fancy prom dress or gorgeous vintage slip dress

  • and you want to be able to make it

  • more wearable for everyday.

  • So first up I'm going to add these boots

  • I chose boots rather than heels obviously because they look less like an event type of shoe,

  • and I also like the juxtaposition

  • between a boot with hardware that feels more edgy and industrial with this ultra feminine dress.

  • I also throw in these little girlie socks though so that when I put my boots on

  • I have this frilly detail peeking out the top.

  • And then to dress things down even more I'm throwing on this denim jacket.

  • This is my Harley-davidson denim jacket that I drifted for, like, 15 bucks and it says "Love Ride" on the back.

  • I also like how many textures we have going on here.

  • We have denim, silk, lace, beads, suede.

  • Oh snap.

  • Especially if I keep this jacket closed, it looks very casual

  • it covers up all of the fancy beading detail on the front of the dress.

  • We're left with what looks like just a silky skirt underneath a casual outfit. Of course though my favorite

  • way to wear this is gonna be off the shoulder, this way I get to show off the dress in its full glory,

  • but also have it dress down a little bit by this casual oversized denim.

  • And my final accessory is going to be this industrial fanny pack.

  • Yes. I did just say the words "industrial fanny pack" together.

  • It has this silver hardware that ties in the kind of, like, edgy detail on the jacket and the boots.

  • And also something about having a crossbody bag always makes an outfit look more casual.

  • Here is the completed look.

  • I think it looks a lot more casual and now instead of a runaway bride

  • I look like a runaway bride going through a goth phase.

  • *sigh*

  • Alright, those are all the outfits that I have for you guys. As always, I hope that this was helpful

  • I don't know why I bother saying this part do I ever say like, I hope this video was incredibly useless
