COME THRIFT WITH ME FOR 2023 FASHION TRENDS

[@peachymeem]

This sounds strange, but I get such a dopamine hit when you take home so few items. It feels good that you can pick up an item and say "this is what I'm looking for but I don't think I'd wear it so im not getting it", it's so counter to current fashion culture attitudes. Not only that, but I love that you repeat pieces of clothing in your videos! Everything about your channel makes thrifting feel reasonable and approachable!

[@alexasunshine83]

Ah ❤ literally made my day!!

[@irenero8932]

also because smb else could love it and use it a lot

[@daniellekirsch5402]

I so agree! I dont understand when creators go into a store and leave with like 10+ items?! Where do they put them? When do they wear them? Its ok to leave with nothing. You should love what you bring into your home.

[@kataszamel4525]

I agree so much! I started thrifting in high school and in the first couple years I would by a lot of random stuff that I ended up not wearing. I consider it a personal growth that now I only buy pieces that are truly perfect, fit in my wardrobe and I know I will wear it a lot. It feels so much better!

[@erinnmackie3507]

Never really understood why anyone would try to keep up with "trends" especially now. It's really freeing when you just don't care anymore. And if you feel like people won't like you if you're not "trendy" enough or not entertaining enough, you don't want those people in your life. Just avoid buying fast fashion new (thrifted only) and wear what suits YOUR body type. Not to mention some of these trends are for a VERY specific body type. I've always had "juicy" hips (I refuse to call them love handles), so low rise jeans are a hell no for me. Always high waisted. And naturally big boobs makes anything backless, halter tops, and triangle tops impossible or painful/uncomfortable. The swamp boob is real! I think people focus too much on short term happiness vs long term.

[@katiebj180]

"There were a lot of teenagers... And I got nervous" Relatable.

[@nicolehamper1060]

I love that you are including some plus size figures in your example pictures. Please keep representing us plus size girls in your viideos. I love watching your videos, but the representation of other sizes is *chef's kiss.* Please stay intentional in being inclusive of other bodies.

[@Khandle915]

I really appreciate you measuring and considering very carefully what you buy. It sets such a healthy example for people thrifting. Buying something for the sake of owning it, or for a style if you never wear it is such a waste when you could instead leave it for someone who will wear and get use out of it! Thank you for showing these items and your process of deciding this.

[@raeberryrattlesnake]

Went op shopping today said to my mum when she showed me a top "I do kinda like it but it's abit dirty not exactly the colour I like, and don't want to get it just for the sake of getting something" then kept looking and found something I really love !

[@FuzzyStripetail]

I never thought that Alexa was a lass that would actually use the word "alas", but she did and alas here we are (also maybe that Scottish kilt rubbed off on her).

[@teresacarle294]

🤗Alas is something I would use. Irish & Scots are thinner on the ground here (as compared to Boston & other parts of the US), but I'm sure we could find the ancestry of both deeply embedded here. My family allegedly have celtic ties to Ireland, but that's never been proven. 😔It could be a myth. As another 😎LA native (a couple of decades older than Alexa), I can say with confidence that we're rather a linguistic hodge podge of cultural influences. All sorts of words, expressions, & even specific accents handed down from ppl that came from all over the world🌎. Our lexicon has become a hybrid of these cultural influences. 🤔Just watched a short video on Appalachian words, & realized some came out 🏜West. There were a few on the list that were used amongst the older generations of my family. I recently said cadiwompus (askew) to describe something off kilter. My friend from 🏝Hawaii (only 7yrs my junior) had NEVER heard it. 🙂He called me a hill-billy for using it too. I cannot deny that particular possibility. My relations definitely act & sound "country" in a lot of respects. 😉Of course, I'm not Jewish, and yet I also have a remarkable amount of Yiddish in my vocabulary too. Go figure. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

[@ccw2613]

Plaid will always be timeless

[@spookybard]

It’s so funny how goth is rolling back into trendy. As a full time goth, I’m not mad about it. Hopefully that means I will get as lucky as you and be able to thrift killstar or some of the other alternative brands that I feel like are hardly seen at thrift stores once the trend has died down. Happy New Year!! I’m cautiously optimistic about 2023!

[@bee-om2ry]

I’ve already been able to find some pieces from Disturbia + Kill Star in my little dinky Ohio thrift stores! It sucks how much it shows how fast fast fashion is but it’s been a gold mine lately for thrifty goths

[@maroondream9111]

I think it's a double edged sword because it is easier to find goth clothing but I fear it being reduced to something mainstream and shallow rather than a subversive subculture

[@irenero8932]

I was so jealous when I saw killstar. First for having it in a thrifstore and also for the the prize. I think the shops I usually go to have the clothes sorted out previously and you do not find top brands 😒

[@SparklesNJazz]

i love how picky you are. i’ve become more this way lately too. we LOVE someone with boundaries spending money on things they’ll actually use ❤️

[@becks8923]

The emo in me immediately sang “teenagers scare the living sh*t outta me”🤣🤣

[@becks8923]

Also happy new year!!💗💗

[@professionalamateur741]

I remember when you weren’t a big fan of silver metallic! It’s cool that you’ve turned around on that, and I’m glad that you still kept to your own style and didn’t get that skirt just bc it’s trendy bc you knew you wouldn’t wear it. Honestly, just getting one good thing makes a thrifting trip worthwhile to me. And both outfits you styled are so cute!! If I saw you on the streets, I would be so excited to see someone wearing such a cool outfit. I’m excited for grunge, maxi skirts, metallics, the elevated gothic fashion, crazy bold stripes, the candy floss pink (even tho I actually don’t really agree with trendy colors; I think you should just wear whatever colors you like whenever you want), and actually cobalt blue.

[@Leasahayrs]

Has anyone ever sent you anything from their thrift store in their area just because they thought you would like it? open a po box so we can all send you things that you could make a video. Finds from followers!!

[@thesavingsorceress]

I can’t believe I missed this video. That puffed sleeve top and black skirt look was everything I’ve ever wanted! I’m obsessed with the plaid skirt too. You definitely picked the right pieces to take home! Absolute perfection ✨

[@xDeydeyxtartelette]

Happy new year!! 🎉 The items you ended up picking up are so cute, especially the velvet skirt. I would totally see it with the velvet part pinned up with 2 safety pins and ribbon bows at the front, so it would expose the lace under part and be even more Victorian looking.

[@alexasunshine83]

Yeeeees! I definitely need to do that because I was sad in the clips you couldn’t really see the lace part!

[@gail9289]

Your sunny disposition always uplifts me. Thanks for keeping your videos totally fun and happy. You're the best.

[@PrincessPeach-uw9tf]

Am I the only one who always sings her intro out loud? 😂❤ I love it so much 😅

[@nicolecoriaty]

Definitely not the only one! 😂

[@ccw2613]

That silver skirt would be cute with a black simple shirt, a leather jacket, opaque tights and then put silver laces in chunky boots.

[@ughkerria]

What you found killstar at the thrift?! That's a huge gothic fashion brand. I've only thrifted it in person once, definitely fits in for the gothic glamour trend! 🖤

[@jessicab7059]

Both of those skirts were so cute! You could even do those same outfits but switch the skirts for two more cute looks. I'm loving fairy grunge aesthetic right now and I think the final piece I want to thrift for it is a plaid maxi skirt.

[@emilymedinaaa3]

Happy New Year Alexa!!!! I was totallllly obsessed with that black mini skort, red plaid mini skirt and that LACE BODYSUIT OMGG, the layering you could have done with that! (If the fitting rooms were open)

[@gothmoth4483]

I don’t know how I feel about goth being trendy again…At least once this trend is over, the thrift stores will be amazing for the actual alternative people (talking about trend hoppers, not people who actually discover the subculture through it). Love this video as per usual . You’re so creative, I love it.

[@alexasunshine83]

Yeah I definitely should have clarified that I more describe it as dark glamour or something like that versus proper "gothic", when I did my "trying a goth thrift store mystery box" video I mentioned more about what the goth subculture is and definitely am not trying to say I was that 😅 but yeah! Thanks so much ❤

[@moiraanne7233]

Pumped for 90s revival! I stayed in the 90s trend and never made my way over to y2k because it’s just really not my vibe! Happy to see more grunge and plaid and slip dresses coming my way again!

[@ossaobscura]

Yay for grunge and goth! I like that you show what you can find for the trends, and that you leave behind the pieces that you would never wear. I live back in Southern California now and hope to run into you someday!

[@LittleRedTeaCake]

Honestly, both outfits you made are AMAZING! I could totally see the whole black velvet outfit as like, a date night to a nice restaurant kind of look and the second *chef kiss* is amazing. I don't really follow trends at all, in the sense that I change my wardrobe to match, I do enjoy looking/watching fashion videos, but I also just kind of wear whatever I have, and if something from the trend style speaks to me, I incorporate it into my wardrobe.

[@savannahwoj]

I have been loving the gothic style for the last year. Should be interesting to see what happens with it this year. Also happy new year!

[@heididepotter8136]

Out of these trends the blue, the goth, the stripes and the lace go into my trift wish finds.

[@portiasimendinger4617]

That heart slip dress is literally my dream!!!

[@alexasunshine83]

It was so gorgeous 😭😭💔

[@bloomingrose444]

Both of the skirts you thrifted were so cute..that silver metallic skirt was so cute...I love skater skirts

[@maya-gur695]

Happy new year, Alexa! I'm excited to see what 2023 will bring fashion wise!

[@luciannewilliams7392]

if you're interested, i would love to see a video of you thrifting and styling the coquette or old money aesthetic trends! i love your styling videos :)

[@alex9190]

aw i love how you used a picture of katie for the hearts

[@hannahstoelb4781]

That plaid skirt outfit is 🔥!!!

[@patjohnson6147]

You done good! I like both your outfits. Especially plaid skirt and tshirt. It's more wearable. You styled them really nice!

[@faeriesmak]

I loved this video. You found some great things and styled them so well. I really love how you are intentional with what you pick up even at thrift prices.

[@livpluslaurstan]

Saw a slip dress on etsy the other day, and it was so pretty, I had to get it, I never had one before, and always wanted one. Alexa, every time you wear a slip dress in a video, it's always cute. Also, I just finished watching Wednesday, and the black outfit in this video, is something she would wear for sure. Hope 2023 brings you lots of love 🖤

[@itsthatcrazymuffin]

random but i really appreciated how you said it was too loose instead of saying clothes were huge or way too big when you were debating on them

[@tammyjones6779]

Happy new years Alex. It's been fun with simple things. I have silver on my running shoes. I thifty them. Brand new shoes 👞. Keep up great work 👍. Lot's if love 💘♥...

[@maroondream9111]

I would absolutely kill for the black lace skirt and the black and cream slip dress, so pretty

[@HealthyLife4Me]

Happy New Year to my favorite fashion influencer from Cali🎉

[@lenap9667]

Both skirts are so cute & I love your outfit during the haul at the end!

[@deannamariebauer]

I would've went Phoebe Buffay or my so-called life for the 90s look

[@lestranged]

I love both the skirts you got, I like how you are very selective and more looking for things you will really wear instead of just a huge haul for the video. I love cobalt blue so I'm happy for that one. I feel like sheer and lace comes in every spring just like velvet and plaid comes in every fall. The grunge and goth looks are ones I can already style with things I own. I do have a pair of silver metallic converse (which were thrifted!) so I can mix in a little silver without buying like a whole silver outfit. Miniskirts and baby pink are ones I won't be wearing. I don't know about that statement stripes thing. I have a few stripey sweaters but they are all horizontal. Hearts, I dunno, I feel like heart prints in clothes can look a little too young for my style, but I do have a couple of chunky heart necklaces. I like adding in a trend with accessories.

[@lythari_15]

I’m still watching this, (just at the skirts so far) but I wants to ask if you know the neck trick for trying on pants/skirts? If not, you take a pair of pants, and hold them around your neck (so you have two layers of waistband around your neck) try this with your best fitting bottoms to figure out what fit you like, then you don’t have too try on pants that don’t fit! Btw seriously love your videos, you are one of my favorite KZbinrs

[@thuyschmitz1091]

this is such a 2023 slay

[@sabineweber5092]

8:58 I feel so seen by you saying you got nervous about filming bc there were teenagers around 😂 I get so scared of them at the thrift store lmao

[@prinsesofpersia]

Thank you for the monthly trend update, Alexa 🙂

[@Noble3781]

Happy new year everyone! Another great video, we have not had an outfit video in a while, would love to see one for the new year 🥰

[@keepingupwithkennedy2663]

Yes let’s kick off 2023!! 🎉

[@alexasunshine83]

🙌🏼 yeeessss 🙆🏼‍♀️

[@hadassahBespokejamison]

Completely agree I wore way too many plaid shirts in the past and now I'm definitely plaided out. I only own about two from my previous 10 to 20 plaid shirts. But now I love wearing plaid midi/maxi skirts I'm kind of obsessed with them right now. I just feel like there's so many more ways to style them and they're super cute and fit a bunch of Aesthetics

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Alexa good morning happy new year to you and your loved ones and I hope that 2023 brings you a lot of love and happiness I enjoy your channel because you are amazing

[@duck1590]

[@lindsaymonasmith5542]

Happy new year, Alexa! Excited to see what content you make this year 🫶🏼 I hope you feel invigorated in 2023!

[@caseyfinnegan4139]

At the Savers around me they have a 2 week exchange policy. So you could always get items you aren't sure about to style for the trends and then exchange them

the sleeves on that cobalt dress though

[@ritalynb7070]

A few of these trends I have in my closet but quite a few of them I would not ever bother with.... 🤷 Thankfully no one says you have to participate in every trend!!!

[@samaralyn9646]

Your hair would look so good light brown

[@alexasunshine83]

Oh goodness I hated the light brown on me haha if you go back to the end of 2020 videos you'll see it 😅 definitely not keeping the platinum though, my plan is for it to go back to a more natural blonde with my roots mixed it better especially after a salon ruined it 💔 but I have to wait another 2 months for my roots to grow to start that process!

[@samaralyn9646]

@@alexasunshine83 it looks good either way 💛🌼💚

[@mish_elle1450]

Could you mix gold and silver jewellery in your next haul? :D

[@Cara-ft6nw]
