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.

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 -

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.

but oh boy, did they love their shoulder pads

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

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.

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.

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,
