come thrift with me EXTRAVAGANZA! I went to 5 different thrift stores + try on thrift haul

[@aliceisforever]

I love how transparent you are about not buying things! I've been trying to be much more intentional about my thrifting too, it's so easy to overconsume at thrift stores. I appreciate the reminder that it's okay if you go thrifting and don't buy anything! It makes the good finds more special too :)

[@goldengrace2833]

I completely resonate.

[@MedeaJaff]

You could always make the denim maxi skirt out of a pair of jeans, it's a simple project, & this way it's easier to find the perfect denim colour & fabric as there's loads of jeans to choose from!

[@dmreddragon6]

I was thinking of that when she was looking at the wide leg pants.

[@talaveralifecoaching5166]

Hi Alexa, I thrifted a pair of cowboy boots which pinched me in that same area. I purchased a pack of Moleskin padding, attached it to that area and it does not hurt me anymore. I do that for breaking in my docs also. Hope it helps! Great find.

[@alexasunshine83]

Thank you !!!!

[@joyfuljaj]

I was thinking that might work. Glad to know it does!

[@chelseamoore8321]

The boots are way cuter than I even expected!!! I love them!

[@karenfriebel7680]

I’m back…you ask “Why do I like this?” in the fitting room trying on that black dress…Um, maybe because it’s gorgeous and looks perfect on you? Holding my breath that you bring it home❣️

[@teresacarle294]

💔 Heartbreaking 🥺. Alexa looked 🎉SPECTACULAR🎉 in that dreamy tea length LBD. The black velvet cardi was a 🆒️ Wednesday Addams gothic piece too. 😖Bummer about the longer floral dress not fitting her in the waist. 😉Thought she looked rather beautiful in that too. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@happythrifter9877]

The brand of long overalls you found is a company my family business does advertisement for! I'm always such a fan of your thrift with me videos! Thank you for posting. 😄💜

[@ossaobscura]

Everything you got is so perfectly you! I bet the grandma cardigan would look cute under the overalls. I love your thrifting videos. I don't know why it's so fun to watch you sort through clothes at a thrift, lol.

[@alexasunshine83]

I’m so happy you enjoy them because they are definitely my favorite to make!! ☺️❤️

[@Kate-mp3du]

Love that you're taking the pressure off yourself to buy something 💕 having fun watching you hunt

[@sincerelyels]

I’m so happy you added the first few clips showing you not finding anything. I relate so much to it as I always feel pressure to find things when I go thrifting and end up sometimes buying things I know I don’t really want. So that was a gentle reminder that it’s okay to go in and come out with nothing. Great video as always ☺️💗

[@thecozyfeather]

the grandma sweater is so CUTE! love watching your videos even if you don't get anything! it's like hanging out with a friend!

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@courtneyryder1810]

The start of the week, I had this surge/ inspiration to make outfits and look online for some key peices for holidays planned this year, and I found a few peices that ive been looking for for years and one just arrived and I just got really excited and jumped around my room 🤣😂 I figured out that I wanted some things that will fit me at all sizes, I think I fluctuate at a certain time of the month and put on a size, so I wanted things that I feel good and will fit me all the time. I love tiered clothes, tiered skirt, tiered midi dresses, smock dresses. I love the flowy dresses. I have Jean's that are a size bigger so when I lose weight after that certain time they just fall to mid rise instead of high. I love my body all the time, I've never felt really down about my body. I'm alive, I can move, i dont get out of breath easily unless my anxiety kicks in. I had really bad acne so when i was a teen i was more focused on that then my body. Its cleared up so much now, I still have flare ups but I just remind myself it will fade again, it's not permanent and it used to be so much worse. I've never covered it though, I have an emergency concealer but I'd say I've used it 2 times in the 3 years I've had it.

[@pinkpopmash325]

Cool Mickey tee! Loved those plaid pants you found.Thanks for sharing the cool pieces you find in other sizes and not referring to them as huge, etc. it is greatly appreciated 😀. Have a great day!!❤

[@gingerglitter]

Rinse the inside of the boots with hot water and wear them around the house for an hour or so, a tip my grandma taught me ;)

[@karengrohs4942]

Your hair looks great (part 1)! I think that pink blouse in the first store is really pretty and would look good on you. And that black dress looks amazing on you (part 2).

[@smhfroeg]

These thrift with me's are so comforting to watch 💛 Thank you for showing not to buy anything if you are not sure about it I wish we would have thrift stores like Savers in Germany, I live in a big city and all the stores are in comparison really small to the US, on the other hand it's rarely crowded and there are always changing rooms :D

[@karenfriebel7680]

You are my favorite part of Wednesdays, Alexa! Especially the thrifting videos!

[@coletty143]

I think this may actually be one of my favorite thrift videos you’ve done??? I really liked not only seeing that even Thrifting Queens like yourself don’t find everything every single time but also seeing it over a couple days and extended out past just one trip!

[@denb7150]

This overall is to die for!! So cute!😍 I also love gingham so much but I rarely ever find it at the thrift store. It’s one of my favorites since it’s so versatile and always fashionable🥰

[@shoplocalportlandoregon7038]

Loved everything in your haul!! I was hoping you’d get the black midi dress too, it looked stunning on you! 🤍

[@loristromski1334]

The plaid dress that was loose in the Boogal area : that's what a tank or cami was made for ❤

[@ashleedahn27]

I love going thrifting with you! Inspires me to go hit up my local thrift stores.

[@sugardeep2636]

You should get an enlarging leather spray, spray on the inside and try to enlarge/model it to your feet

[@debbiekeefer476]

That little sleeveless sweater is adorable on you!

[@nopenahda8617]

I have a pair of those liberty overalls and they are amazing! I hated overalls but decided to try some so I could have pants while I was pregnant and I now loooooooooooove overalls

[@seenbyluna]

Does anyone else always sing the intro too or is it just me? 🤔

[@kristinandrews7471]

🙌🙌🙌☀️😘

[@horsesgirl16]

BOOP☀️

[@Mgdr2011]

B O O P !

[@alexasunshine83]

Ya’ll made my day 😭❤️❤️

[@teresacarle294]

🎼Yep❣️Isabelle & Mirtha beat me to it...❣️BOOP❣️ 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@daniellekirsch5402]

Boot hacks if theyre leather: you can buy keather softener or just use rubbing alcohol and water to soften it up. If theyre tight, you can also put bags of water (leave some room for air) in the boots and throw them in the freezer. Ive also heard people swear by wearing boots in the bath tub and then keeping them on your feet while they dry but im too scared to try that haha. Hope you can make them work!

[@depointedulac]

The water thing works, my dad always does that when he buys boots too tight. He gets the boot and his feet wet and then he keeps working with his feet wet until it dries and but the next time they are more comfortable

[@clairvoyant896]

Can't believe you got a fitting room!! Makes me feel like covid in done!! 🤞

[@jazzthemess9636]

I love the grandma vest and the Mickey shirt they’re so so cute

[@57waterlily]

I really like those overall cut offs, they're adorable. And that granny sweater vest, love it! !

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@daniellekirsch5402]

I know it doesnt rain much where youre at, but id love to see you style some rainy day outfits!

[@teresacarle294]

😉That's a perfect idea for the next few days. It's 🌧 raining in LA right now. We've had some seriously crazy ❄️ Winter Storms over the State & Southland this last week. Miraculously, we had snow🌨 as low as the Hollywood Hills (on Santa Monica Mtn range). 🤩It was pretty exciting even though it didn't last long. In the nearby Valley (on Verdugo Mtn range) where I reside, we only had heavy hail. It was so thick in spots that it looked like snow on the ground for one day🎉. Had to go to the hospital 🏥 for a follow-up appt, & was too lazy🙃 to drag out an actual winter worthy 🥶 coat from deep in the closet. 🛃 The security guard was rather taken aback😵 to see that I was wearing a black zippered hoodie & a black quilted jacket UNDER my black raincoat style trench. Usually I'm quite comfy in my lightweight coats here w/a cosy sweater, but I had to triple 'em up yesterday😬. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@Sistafeed]

I loved the last video (it was so informative - I learned so much!) and I am loving this one too! You are killing it Alexa!

[@maya-gur695]

Oh my goodness, what a treat! I enjoyed watching you go to all of those awesome thrift stores and the haul is amazing as well. I love how focused it is, even though you went to five freaking thrift stores. Obsessed with the vest, it's the cutest ever. And of course, the shorterall. You reminded me that I need to get mine out of storage now when it's getting warmer where I live.

[@triciaperinger2675]

I would have snatched up those boots too!!!

[@Its_Ev]

Wolverine boots are great! They are a work boot brand so the vamp that comes up is going to be thicker than the shaft. I’d just keep conditioning them and wearing to try to soften them up

[@bethb4432]

Love the boots and overalls! Maybe with the boots you could kind of finesse them with your hands, sort of bend that area back and forth? Looks like real leather so should eventually work in a bit?

[@clairvoyant896]

Your videos are my favorite thrift videos!!! I love even when you show us what you almost buy but don't. Your fashion taste is always very interesting!!

[@EmiliaESwan]

I loved this video. It’s inspiring me to get up and film a thrift with me

[@quiltea56]

Alexa, Loved this video. I have to say that as soon as you took the black dress off the rack I loved it. You looked amazing in it. Sometimes just "window shopping" as my grandma would say is fun. Blessings to you

[@ameeraince2752]

Your hair looks fantastic Alexa!

[@cherrya3927]

Your out-row was so rapidly spoken I was amazed you got all those words in there!🥰😁

[@LindaV1981]

If you find the short overalls too short you can add extra denim fabric to make them longer. You can ask a shoe maker to make the leather softer

[@sonie1045]

Hi giirl those black Ariat boots were that expensive because the brand is really expensive itself. Idk if you know about it but they have a lot of stuff for equestrians and outdoors and those boots would be around 200USD new. I know 80USD at a thrift is high but the one who priced them knew how expensive their stuff is (and their looked new). Love your videos 💕

[@bri9734]

Fellow equestrian 👋🏼 Ariat is my favvvvvv

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Yesss the perfect video to watch while getting ready! Thanks, thrift friend 💕

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️

[@thuccie]

the boots were such a win imo! so cute, i would've thrifted bc i dont have any brown boots

[@kelseyann7]

you are my comfort youtuber 🌸🌸

[@christinamann3640]

I saw the news about the weather in Southern California this week. Video idea: layering for the apocalypse 🌨🥶😅

[@haileywasheree]

So jealous you found overalls so easily! I can’t even find them when I’m NOT thrifting 😭

[@paula92111]

I always love watching you thrift and seeing what you find!

[@emilymedinaaa3]

Love love love this reality of thrifting!

[@aerindyason4597]

Someone who loves travelling should do a thrift around the world with me

[@sittinginacornerihaunt]

i found the cutest maxi skirt at goodwill the other day so thats exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! love your vids xx

[@alexasunshine83]

ahhhh!! yes 🙌🏻

[@annw7843]

I love just seeing what you find that you think is interesting, no buying required!

[@mackennaj]

The boots are fire! The rubbing part is probably because they hit you differently than the last owner. They look like leather though, so thick socks, a hair dryer, and lots of moving your ankle should help wear them in for you. Such a cool find!

[@shawnlanders2034]

I live watching these videos. They make me happy and make my day better

[@shawnlanders2034]

I meant love lol

[@heididepotter8136]

Love the litle grandmacardigan Love the Mickey T Grate finds XXX Fittingrooms are a big plus!

[@maryegerton6848]

I was so hoping you would get that black dress. It looked so darn good on you❤

[@ErinR1213]

I loved all the overalls!! I love all your thoughts with every pieces, even the one you didn’t get! The boots are so cute!!

[@kimbonds2386]

The boots? AMAZING! ❤

[@erikao3982]

You look amazing in all black!

[@ΕύαΘεοδώρου-ξ3δ]

The boots are AMAZING. You could put vaseline inside and the leather will start getting softer.

[@Livyxbabyy2001]

I just went thrifting last weekend and it was super fun you inspired me to do it again.

[@RainbowGhoul31]

I'm not sure if someone suggested this or not, but for the part of your boots that rubs from the inside, you can work a shoe conditioning oil on the inside of the boot and really rub and work it in! If you have the Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam, that will work too! I've heard of some people using a hair dryer on them as well, but I've never tried that, I have been tempted though! I hope that helps! Those boots will be super cute for you!

[@mckaylakearney7922]

alexa i love how happy you are in this!

[@celesterode]

To soften hard spots on my leather shoes and boots my shoe repair man puts it in an anvil ( or you could put a metal pipe inside) and bangs it with a hammer until it's soft. I have tried this at home and it works great...also I recommend taking your boots to a professional.

[@Razbutterfly]

Loved the video as always! You really made me more critical on my recent thrift trips. But I have to ask where are the brown boots in the background from?

[@alexasunshine83]

The long ones right? They are Steve Madden ❤️

[@Razbutterfly]

@@alexasunshine83 yesss thank you 😊 love love love your vids 🥰

[@IsisJanssen]

When leather boots don’t fit comfy you can loosen the leather by heating it up with a hairdryer or put wet towels in it for one night and wear them the next day with thick socks so your feet don’t get moist and the leather will adjust to your feet :)

[@leslieadams6702]

ALEXIA GREAT VIDEO LOVED YOUR FINDS SO MANY CUTE MAXI DRESSES YOU SHOWN THANKS, ABOUT THE COOL BOOTS DIGGING IN WHAT ABOUT TAKING A LEG/ARM WARMER AND SCRUNCHING IT DOWN HACK ? HOPE THIS HELPS ❤

[@poppyjohnsen6068]

I think the brown boots would look great with the patchwork brown leather jacket(from your previous video)

[@jaymiedepace7773]

Goodwill Canada has dressing rooms! So its always strange that you can’t try things on.

[@Sofiadelreyes]

I loved everything you got! Those boots are everything 😍❤️ also what brand are the jeans you’re wearing in the try on portion? They look amazing 👌🏼

[@alexasunshine83]

They are Route 66! I got them in the UK at a charity shop ❤️❤️

[@Kat_eyyyyy]

The boots are amazing!! No regrets there imo ❤

[@soledaddelrio3653]

Nice thrift video! Love the grandma sweater vest, it's so cute 💖

[@goldengrace2833]

Hats off to finding reasons NOT to buy stuff. Excellent inspiration to me.

[@kristinas.1295]

Try putting a bit of vaseline on the stif part of the boots it should help

[@beepb00ppp]

omg i love the green plaid oversized toppppp nOOOOOOO

[@beepb00ppp]

ive always wondered why dont u buy certain items even though theyre not ur size, just to sell them /style bundles on ur online shop!!

[@melissacupp4584]

To make the boots softer or wear them in wet them and wear them wet to mold them to your foot shape

[@colecrystal3035]

Hey girl! What jeans are you wearing with the grandma sweater (25:10)?

[@alexasunshine83]

Route 66! Got them at a charity shop in the UK ❤️

[@sourcandiii]

I would thrift clothes way more if I could try them on lol I'm so sensitive to textures, I can't even buy online bc I'm nervous about how the fabrics would feel xD

[@deniseoates7147]

Seems like the pickings were slim. I like the overall shorts, I am going to watch that portion of the video again to figure out how they cut the legs. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

[@icejadechica]

For the boots, you could make baby leg warmers? or like some one else said, attach moleskin.

[@jaymiedepace7773]

I love those boots! Better than pointy cowboy! Get them stretched at a shoe mender.

[@ariavenger]

Your hair looks so good!!

[@sallydraper4204]

the boots are so cute!!

This was definitely an extravaganza, and I am here for it!! 🥰

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Alexa good morning happy Thursday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@MsUser81]

The boots are super cute! But I wondering if they are safety boots and that is the metatarsal protection? If it is I don't think you can change it :( Good Luck!

[@AusRocker]

I have boots that dig in like that so I put this little stick on puffy pad on the inside that’s usually for under the balls of your feet

[@silviaangel8078]

a few dabs rubbing alcohol and hit it w vaseline & the leather on the boots should soften

[@makaylagothard8026]

$80 isn’t bad for a pair of Ariat boots, but I wouldn’t pay that either at a thrift store 🤣

[@joyfurnish8412]

I love these kinds of thrifting volg

[@penny544]

Hi Alexa, where did you get your clothes hanging racks from? Thank you

[@loristromski1334]

Thrift store pricing has definitely definitely gone up in pricing. I'm 57 and have been thrifting for years. Goodwill should be renamed Badpusher or something to that effect 😂
