Alexa try pinesol on those armpit stains. I have a small spray bottle in the laundry room. I leave it on for about 10 minutes or overnight. It works well for me, i haven’t had any problems with staining it damaged fabric.

Don't forget that if you don't like the buttons on something, you can change them :) Just get yourself a needle and thread. Some of my favorite tops are ones that had originally had crappy buttons. You can also make a basic jacket more unique by adding cool buttons.

I bought a pair of Vince Camuto leather high heeled booties for $9.00 and a brown/baby blue patterned midi dress made in India for $6.50. I changed clothes when I got home and now wearing my thrifted jeans, belt and sandals previously purchased at different times. Paid about $16.00 in total for all three. I love me some thrifting.

My top 3 thrift tips: 1. Try everything on. Always. You can’t pick the color or pattern so thrifting is all about the fit and typically you can’t return items. Wear something easy to change in. 2. Likewise wear comfortable footwear that is also easy to change 3. Treasures are hidden in trash. Don’t just skim. Systematically just push each hanger aside like a robot and look at each piece. If you don’t, you will miss good finds. If you are lucky you can push items down and make hole in sections, and then just go through section by section, sliding each piece. You can actually do it very robotically and quickly and it won’t take more time than randomly looking around, but you WILL find more stuff!

I know and understand you want to be stylish in your videos, but I thought I might just leave you a good tip if you are doing thrifts without recording: Wore a workout legging or something instead of jeans whenever you plan to thrift skirts or shorts, the best way to try them on as leggings usually fit like a glove, so you can try stuff above. Love your videos though!

Looked like there was crates and crates of surplus clothing being sold for only $1 in a cheap store (called Shiploads), but not an opshop. Also Liz Claiborne clothing too, which previously I had only heard sbout in KZbin videos. Guess surplus stock gets shipped around the planet and sold cheaply.
