A BIG BEAUTIFUL THRIFT HAUL ✨ my BEST try on thrift haul EVER ✨

Video idea. Go to create a sim and randomize their outfits and then go thrift for them items!

[@amberwallace1179]

Where is your sweater from? I love that yellow on you

[@heyitsheidijay]

That floral slip dress made me physically GASP that's the most beautiful pattern I've ever seen 😍

[@alexasunshine83]

I’m still shooooooocked I found it randomly at the thrift store !!

[@alienfae]

@@alexasunshine83 A tip for those who are worried about ironing: before I have a shower, I hang up the item of clothing at the end of the shower rod. The steam from the shower will smooth out some (and sometimes all!) of the wrinkles and it's all ready to wear. This has saved me so many times!

[@ninaasf-ck]

I love that Carrie sent those to you and you're getting constant wear of them! It was also a good reminder to me to check with my best friend before I donate... for some reason, it never occurs to me.

[@alexasunshine83]

Yes! All my friends live in different cities and states so I always forget that I can see if they want any pieces from my closet! Definitely will be doing it more!

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

Tip for drying sweaters after handwashing: lay it flat on a towel, and then roll the towel up. It'll dry wayyy faster

[@SunshineStudios2021]

i went thrifting yesterday and i’m happy to say i had one of my best hauls ever!! a lot of midi skirts and (my absolute favorite items) a white puff sleeve top and A CORDUROY BLAZER 😍

[@alexasunshine83]

AHHHHHHH!!! Literally sounds amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@thegillmachine]

Girl, sometimes your videos are hard to watch because I’m absolutely SEETHING with jealousy. I can tell this one is just from the thumbnail! Great finds!

[@alexasunshine83]

Hahaha honestly this haul has so many gems that are worthy of jealousy 😂😂😂

[@ilmashin2249]

that grandma smell thing was so accurate thrifted clothes can smell funky, but they are gems so it doesn't matter love the video :)

[@JustLikeSara]

As someone who is deeeeep into the cottagecore style (mentally, I love it) my favourite pieces were the little floral top with puff sleeves and the white dress at the end! So cute!

[@ceciliahandy3461]

if ironing makes you nervous (it definitely makes me nervous when I'm ironing anything that's not cotton) I recommend a steamer! it's also good for cleaning dry clean only items like wool suits (edit: I see lots of other people recommended a steamer too so I'll just second the recommendation!)

[@lifexfashionxbeauty]

Yesss was thinking the same! I have one and I love it so much! ✨

[@NancySchober]

If you thrift, you NEED a steamer! Best way to disinfect a garment, helps with that 'grandma' smell AND gets rid of wrinkles. Harder to set the house on fire too. Ironing also ups your sewing game

[@briannahidalgo9471]

They were selling that cool cats and kittens shirt at Walmart when tiger first came out hahah I love it . It’s super cute

[@bonnie.yarbrough]

I remember that too lol 😂 😂

[@heatherwelch7190]

Lol yes I bought one and love it

[@mariahhbott]

OMG that Talbot's cardigan is a one of a kind gem! I started looking for it right now, after seeing you wear it, and there are none! You literally have a one of a kind, and it is perfect! 👌

[@rebeccacrash9272]

Well boo! I was going to try to track it down myself after I finished the video!

[@bobfrog37]

I found a few on Poshmark but they are closer to $60 :/

[@rebeccacrash9272]

This may sound weird, but I'm a bit jealous at how cute you look with all your shirts tucked in. I always want to tuck in my longer t-shirt and tops, but feel like I look like a mushroom when I do. Lol. Also, I absolutely adore the floral cardigan from Plato's Closet and the pink cat sweater.

[@alexasunshine83]

Ahhhhh I’m sure you literally look amazing Rebecca!!! The funny part is I feel like if I don’t tuck things in I look weird, like I almost have the opposite problem!

[@4everbuffylover]

girl same! I always feel like I untuck my tops too much or something. Gotta find the perfect ratio of tucked to untucked

[@vc5213]

Totally get the thing about wearing your “comfort” outfit when you’re anxious. I’ve also noticed for me that materials and textures of clothes can exacerbate my anxiety (like itchy materials, tags, etc.)

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Alexa totally cleaned up when wearing her black and white button up with that iconic French maid-esque collar.

[@gzk88]

It's such a stunning look! That button-up is beautiful.

[@danamullett7999]

I’m really enjoying the style journey you’re on. I find myself loving more and more of the pieces you have been finding. Love it when I get inspiration from my favourite KZbinrs. 🥰

I eventually made it to the end of this OUTSTANDING video (after looking up and trying to find several of the items!) and hahaha❣️ I recognize that gorgeous lavender warm Penny Lane-style coat with the Mongolian furry trim because I thrifted the EXACT same coat and yes I live in Florida and will be ready to rock it when I’m somewhere cold again someday..I can def relate to your Southern California dilemma of loving cold weather clothes while living in a hot climate❣️🙂

[@chrissyelizabeth4316]

On the point of ironing, I hate ironing too! It scares me! I switched to a steamer and I’ll never go back, so much easier and I’ve never damaged clothes with it

[@alexasunshine83]

Oooh! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that instead!!

[@kristinccha]

I do drier and immediately hang up and usually the item is fine

[@chrissyelizabeth4316]

@@kristinccha I'm too scared to put my favorite clothes in the dryer 😅

[@kristinccha]

@@chrissyelizabeth4316 Understandable..I do it for like 10 minutes and not on items that say no dryer.

[@annie4bananie]

Aaaah this video was so wholesome ☺️. You seemed genuinely excited with every single piece. My personal favourites: your shy 15-year-old-me smile when you wore the Jonas Brothers t-shirt (how cute was that? 🙈), the blue Disneyland sweatshirt that brought out the colour of your eyes (stunning!), and the hand-knit floral sweater because it somehow looked pretty, dandy, and elaborate at the same time 😍.

[@alexasunshine83]

Definitely my favorite thrift haul ever 😭💕

[@bethanyboylan3175]

Cool cats and kittens has been a phrase for a long time I’m pretty sure, I remember that John Lennon said it in the Get Back sessions that came out last year!

[@alexasunshine83]

Omg yes !!

[@lisa_yvette3875]

Great haul..what I really love is that you aren't wanting to wear designer outfits..and proudly admit most of your clothes were less than $10.00..everything you got is mix & match.. ❤

[@4everbuffylover]

You spent FIFTY BUCKS on an old JONAS BROTHERS T-SHIRT?! Okay now that’s out of the way. Love the video. You have such cute and unique style. I would say my reaction was about half “oh my gosh nooo” and “oh my gosh soooo cute”. The puff sleeve too is SO cute. You rock everything obviously! I’ve taken some inspiration from your style as I’ve started to build up my new more grown up wardrobe. Bought a couple of pieces from Ana Luisa and so far I love them. Already got compliments. Thanks for being a ray of sunshine in my day 🥰☀️

[@ginnieeeeew]

Ironing is extra easy with steam iron! Works well with satin and other wrinkly fabrics. It doesn't need an ironing board and it's super easy to use!!

[@giangiulio]

So many pieces are chef's kiss 👌 I really like how you look on pastels (the dresses and blazer were 🤩) and darks (teddy bear skirt)

[@nostalgicthreadz]

I’m so late to this video but thank you so much for showing me love!!! I’m so glad you like the pieces, I hope you’re doing well 💕

[@Michelle-ew5fq]

I LOVE that the floral on the cardigan continues at the back! there are so many times where Ive thrifted cute patterend vintage stuff but the patterns dont continut to the back!!

[@labelonthelibby3225]

Girl, you’ve gotta invest in a second measuring tape to keep in the glove compartment of your car. That way, you always have it and don’t have to worry about forgetting it! ☺️ Absolutely love your videos!

[@alexasunshine83]

I own like three or four 😹🤦🏼‍♀️ definitely need to put it in my car asap!!

[@gzk88]

So many gorgeous pieces. Wow! I would get a steam iron. It works for all fabric types and you don't have to worry about accidentally burning your clothes or leaving behind shiny iron marks. Much kinder to clothes.

[@karrington2]

That button up silk top! That color oh my gosh, my favorite 😍

[@skrittle555]

i feel your pain about prices lol. but small businesses are definitely still struggling, so it's nice to know that your money is going to a good cause. and it's def worth it to me for more unique hard to find pieces that you otherwise might never come across in person, like that JB shirt!

[@ViolaLinea]

WOW ok WOW I can’t believe that you trifted all of this. This is gold!!! 🤩🥳

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Sunshine_Kayla27]

Okay YES i loooooved this long thrift haul style video💜💜💜🥰. Sooo many good finds!! Literally my whole winter wardrobe is now from Plato's Closet ( can't wait to Thrift my spring/summer too). They have soooo many cute pastel pieces!! And GIRL that pastel purple faux fur coat is a DREAM 💜. Like i need that in my life 😍. Loved this video!! Can't wait till the next one!! 💗🥰

[@plantprincessa]

I really recommend a steamer! I know it’s already been said but I agree completely! They are so handy and quicker than ironing for me / they make my clothes feel fresh and cleaner. Especially if you already have clothing racks to hang and steam on.

[@amandadeal2139]

I use a mini hand steamer from Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond instead of an iron to get wrinkles out of my clothes! It's so much faster and more convenient, would recommend :)

[@erikao3982]

You’re not the only one who loves cat shirts! I’m sadly allergic to cats, so wearing cat shirts is the closest I can get to being a cat person 😭

[@alexasunshine83]

Awwwwww 😭😭😭❤️

[@Avellania]

You can wash silk unless the washing instructions explicitly tell you not to wash it. I have a silk pillowcase and my washing machine has a silk setting. I have washed it countless times without issues. If your machine doesn't have a silk setting, you can try the wool/hand wash setting or just wash it by hand. Just use the right detergent specifically for silk, not regular detergent or soap. Don't put it in the dryer and don't hang it to dry in direct sunlight or the colours will fade. Usually when silk items say "do not wash" it's because it's painted or has other fragile decorations.

[@marengaley]

The colorblock blazer is absolutely amazing! I am in love 😍

[@8infinite8possiblities8]

The pink silk shirt is giving me Elle Woods vibes for some reason 💖

[@lauren.hutchings]

Oh my GOSH that first cardigan that you tried on I’m obsessed 😍😭

[@alexasunshine83]

I know right!!!! 😍

[@odalisgonzalez6875]

The color block blazer & the teddy bear skirt are my favorites. I hate ironing & so I bought a hand held steamer. Its light weight and you can press your clothing in less time. Come to NYC its 16 degrees today. I've used Mercari few times & I've had good experiences. Use a shoe stretcher for the boots

[@dianavalero9971]

I really love the pooh t-shirt and the pastel blazer it’s incredibly cute!

I KNOW RIGHT!!! I felt like I transformed into a different person when wearing them haha

[@zoecedar]

oh, some of these items... my heart! they are everything!! and look so good on you and make sense. lots can be styled many ways...yea I love everything. I didn't realize how long this way until your comment at the end, haha.

[@lestranged]

Most irons these days have an auto-off feature so even if you forget to turn it off, it turns itself off after a few minutes of no movement. They also have different heat settings for different fabrics so it's not going to burn your clothes if you use the correct setting. Also I don't know if you have quit trying to learn to sew or if you still want to learn, but ironing as you go is very important to getting good results in sewing, so it's just a good thing to have. And not expensive at all.

[@emmy8526]

The multocolor pastel blazer is the coolest! For the boots, if they’re leather, you can use some shoe stretching spray and wear them around the house with thick socks to loosen and adapt them.

[@Evejackson777.]

I love the bear skirt! I just love that! Also I know that I stayed so far away from platform boots but now I think I should get some all because of you 😆

[@alexasunshine83]

Haha sorry not sorry to have influenced you 😅 they are amazing though!!

In regards to getting an iron, I would 100% recommend getting a steamer! They are super easy to use and much better for the integrity of your clothes and they get the wrinkles out amazingly well😊 They are also pretty affordable!

[@kathleenreynolds7113]

Yes I love my steamer I got one at target

[@carilonergan5387]

In response to you worrying about burning the house down with an iron.... buy a steamer! Great for any type of clothing, but as a bonus you can do curtains, drapes and shower curtains as well!

[@kuhiozion6894]

I admire you SO MUCH if you can walk into a Thrift Store and ONLY buy one or two things!!! I can't do that! I come home with a boatload of new (to me) clothes. That is why I enjoy thrift haul videos.

try wearing your boots with thick socks then blow drying them! not too close to the boot so it doesnt ruin their but just enough so it warms up the leather to stretch a bit (:

Try a steamer instead of an iron, it’s typically easy to find small person steamers at the thrift store too, that’s where I found mine. It’s way easier than fussing with an iron/ ironing board
