[@Missmagazinebura]

what is whimsgoth? I never heard of that before

[@alexasunshine83]

@@Missmagazinebura I got some videos in the description that go deeper into it, but "The Whimsigoth aesthetic is reflected in fashion with velvet, lace, sheer fabrics, flowy sleeves, and celestial-themed jewelry" and takes inspiration from the fashion of Sabrina the teenage witch, Buffy, Phoebe Buffay, and Stevie Nicks.

[@remynicolee]

I’ve seen so many TikToks about people dying clothes they don’t wear as often to either black or another color and the results are really good!! I’d try that out if you see something you like but just want it in a darker color!

[@sourdough6653]

That is a great idea! I just never do it because I don’t wanna wash them by hand and also some fabrics don’t take dye well. But it’s great for those who are un-lazy

[@illestj3990]

I'm doing that this fall

[@christinamann3640]

I’ve been doing that for a few years. The darkest colours come out the most even, just remember to use two boxes. The colours sometimes come out with a mottled, tie dye effect, but I actually love it. You can also remember your colour wheel and layer colour on pre-existing colour to get a colour you want. For example, I used a box of navy to adjust green to the right shade.

[@illestj3990]

@@christinamann3640 appreciate the tips and tricks 👊

[@ivanajukicgloban6627]

Dye works with natural materials like cotton or linen.

[@GravityFallsUp]

I love this aesthetic because it’s just straight up how I dress but I was calling it “boho hippie kinda dark academia witch girl vibe with grunge”

[@MostlyCaffeinated]

Same!

[@lestranged]

I like your name way better than 'whimsigoth'. It's just dark bohemian. I like almost any name better than whimsigoth.

[@kaykerns2287]

Me too

[@taxidermyrat2768]

exact same here! I have gravitated towards this type of style since childhood so rlly nice to see it pop up

[@Flobot2010]

That’s a long title 😂 but yeah I never knew what to call it either!

[@CarrieDayton]

THE WAY I GASPED at the olive green floral dress!!!! everything you got is perfect 😍

[@kaleighpledger6389]

I love watching you decide what to get and what to leave behind. A possible issue I’ve heard discussed about thrift shopping becoming trendy is that it takes away from the people that shop there out of necessity, so I absolutely loved hearing you say things like “I’m not going to buy them all” or “Gotta put this back where I found it”. I really love your channel, and watching you be so intentional about what you buy is so refreshing!!!!

[@alienpotatosquid7850]

i appreciate this comment! @shanspeare has a great video on this topic, particularly thrift hauls / thrift flips for profit. i’m new to this channel but i feel alexa is so conscious about varying levels of sustainability and waste which she shows in videos like this where she talks through why she isn’t buying things she does like but wont get enough use. it’s such a great frame of mind and mental process before purchasing for thrifting or (if not especially) traditional retail.

[@hafdisbjarnadottir2943]

@@alienpotatosquid7850 do you remember the name of the shanspeare-video? I'm curious to see it...

[@thesavingsorceress]

I absolutely love the idea of thrifting your own ‘mystery box’ of things you actually like. Whimsy goth is one of my favorite aesthetics to thrift too, so this was just AMAZING inspiration. I am obsessed with the Wild Fable dress! The floral dress is such a vibe as well. I love everything about this video! ✨

[@maya-gur695]

This is the aesthetic I want to dress in but just can't pull off. I look like someone's boomer ex hippie mom in a music festival instead of a whimsical witch.

[@jessicacavero1575]

ex hippie mom in a music festival sounds like such a vibe and i want more of it

[@alexasunshine83]

Rock it though!!!!! I’m sure you look amazing !!!!

[@demonicastar]

Girl just go for it, my style is all over the place lol if I were to describe it I would say it's eclectic the secret to rocking anything and everything is confidence and take a day to see what's in your wardrobe and play around with it maybe pair things up you normally wouldn't and see where it takes you

[@PookieK]

Maya it’s ok. I really am someone’s current hippie boho crazy aunt. You know the weird one in the family who sticks out? I’m ok with that

[@vanessarottencandy4044]

You gonna get there and I bet you look like a great boomer ex hippie mom until then!🖤🖤🖤

[@thriftqueen1621]

Oh my gosh all of the pieces you picked up are so cute!! I definitely enjoyed this more than you buying a mystery box. No waste and everything fits into your style perfectly! So excited for fall and more fall videos🤎

[@hollyrumble4641]

I love that when you come across pieces falling off the hangers you fix them, so considerate 🥰 also just bought a leather blazer bc of you xx

[@Sistafeed]

I love this type of video and you showing us things we could possibly pick up in a thrift store. I also really like you shopping for a "trendy core" versus a mystery box of things you may not enjoy. Glad to see your foot healed and you are out and about again!

[@cutieslug]

As someone who was a teen in the 90s, I loved this video! A dark bucket hat would look cute with the plaid dress. The green floral dress is super cute and so 90s! For authentic 90s, no belt but it looks cute either way. And I pretty much lived in cardigans. So cozy for fall!

[@jibarabicha4853]

Good to know my personal style has a name now ! I’ve always gravitated towards a mix of looks like Phoebe from friends , the girls from charmed and 70’s looks from Cher or Stevie Nicks. Then I have days that swing more towards Selena Quintanilla or Fran dresher lol …I’m a mess, I know . 😂 I was starting to feel lost when trying to dress myself and my this video served the fall inspiration I needed. Thank you !!

[@ossaobscura]

THANK YOU!! Today is my birthday and I love Whimsigoth! This was the best present, to see you doing a video on it! So many great pieces you showed and styled. Yes, lots of celestial and crystal jewelry would definitely elevate the looks too. Fun stuff!

[@alexasunshine83]

Happy birthday!!!! 💕

[@christinamann3640]

🎂🧙‍♀️🐈‍⬛🦉🦇

[@melissawinter7788]

Perfect concept! Love the "aesthetic" videos you've been doing, but this is the sustainable version... Go to the thrift store and buy the pieces you actually like and will wear again. 👏

[@evelyndossantos708]

OMG i didn't know this aesthetic yet. I saw a girl walking around town yesterday and she was totally in that style, she looked so cute and unique. Everyone dresses the same where I live, old jeans and t shirts or dresses with unflattering patterns.. seeing her was an inspiration! ☺️

[@evelyneca7454]

Ever since I heard the term wimsigoth, I feel like I finally know how to put my sense of style in words. I wanted to reach through the screen and take the pieces you were holding out of your hands and put them in my closet! Love it! I defn put my own spin on it but this is the style I lean into most of all.

[@kat_thefruitbat]

I think you did a fantastic job of aligning your choices with the core of your personal style/aesthetic! I know you said in your decluttering video that you’re feeling confused about how you’d currently define your personal style, but your reasons behind choosing what you decluttered/kept that day, along with your reasons behind what you did/didn’t purchase today, really show that you DO understand your personal style (at least to a greater extent than what you give yourself credit for!). 😊 I get that it might feel like your personal style could feel a bit buried and not fully realized anymore, but we all get “lost” from time to time, and it comes at no surprise, given all the ongoing sources of influence/ideas we are frequently exposed to! 🫠 Love and appreciate this and you! (And all of your videos!) 😊

[@cindymeS2]

Ok that green dress and denim jacket combo was SOOOO cute!!!!!! Then the velvet pants and white top look!? You looked STUNNING. It was like the perfect pieces and suited your body SO WELL!!

[@spookybard]

Target has some of those chain dangly belts with moons and stars right now for any aspiring whimsy goths looking for inexpensive accessories! They also had a lot of cute moon/sun/star jewelry on clearance! 🖤 Love the idea of thrifting your own mystery box! The green dress was absolutely my favorite item! It looked so good on you too!

[@plantitafeliz]

Ok these outfits were IT! Thanks for the inspiration 🥰🥰🥰 This is like doing fall without the usual colors and I love that

[@cassstefff]

That denim dress was PERFECT!!! I never thought I needed a long denim dress until now

[@iinterstellars]

That plaid dress looked incredible on you! Love the way you styled it with the turtleneck too

[@thatonebookreader_Crochet]

That green suede skirt was my dream

[@shalynlilly9643]

this style really matches you! i love every single outfit

[@katyp564]

I never considered wearing a jumpsuit over a top, bizarrely enough, until I watched this video. So immediately after viewing, I got a silvery, velvet jumpsuit that I could never wear alone, full of ideas. The whimsigoth trend finally has me inspired for fall. It's extremely nostalgic for me (this was somewhat my style as a teen in the late 90s/early 00s). Major memories of Pyramid Collection catalogues. The interior design style especially takes me back. Millenials and older, also look up Renaissance Revival for another blast from the past.

[@tracyhuckaby5876]

This looks like a fun way to go shopping. I agree that shopping for a mystery box this way one would be more likely to wear all the pierces. I have never tried having a theme when thrifting.

[@kimbarbeaureads]

This is so fun. Phoebe was always my favorite Friends gal and I live so many of her outfits.

[@theonetheonlychi61]

I coincidentally searched "whimsigoth" on KZbin and saw that you posted this video 6 hours ago 🙏 I feel so heard by the rise of the whimsigoth aesthetic because I feel like I've been leaning towards this style for years. I definitely think that whimsigoth was already around in ~2016 when 90s fashion was making a comeback, just without a specific label to it.

[@haileywasheree]

Never heard of Whimsigoth aesthetic but I am pleased with it

[@lib4frogz]

i’m living for this aesthetic

[@meganechan720]

This is a great alternative to the mystery box videos, since you'll wear everything you buy!

[@mz7942m]

Yay, finally someone who appreciate this style! Thanks, amazing video 🍁🍂

[@alexasunshine83]

It’s so amazing! Can’t wait to properly wear it this fall!!

[@onceuponamelody]

I personally loved the 90s meets 70s vibe of the last outfit! (It's kinda nostalgic for me, personally, because I grew up in that time and loved the 70s resurgence...) I also think it's a great idea and more sustainable to thrift your own mystery box. :) It still has an air of mystery, because you never know what you'll find at the store!

[@itsthemadster]

In love with the denim dress and long leather blazer together!!

[@dreamercely]

I loved the style and outfits. Looks so good for fall.

[@briannegallant1102]

I've been watching your videos and I looooove them! I just wanted to say a huge thank you for doing this because you've helped me get way more out of my wardrobe - AND actually know how to style thrift store pieces. When I'd go to the thrift store before I always felt like all the clothes were outdated, but I love how you bring new life to them! Just wanted to say that! Keep doing as youre doing

[@gracemarie02]

This is my exact vibe for fall!! So excited to wear them

[@Kattynow18]

Omg I think you’ve just names the style I like and I never knew what it was to look for idea. Thank you so much for making this video xxx

[@muchotextopod]

that green floral dress was MADE for you 💖💖💖

[@erin9110]

Phoebe Buffay was a fashion icon. You could try doing a series of dressing-like characters from shows but do those that don't get much attention for their style.

[@lilgrl213]

i love "whimsigoth" jewlery and i try buying accessories but i always am too lazy to put it on or i forget to put it on hahah I'm so happy you got the green floral dress!!! a video color dying clothes to match your aesthetic would be cool but you might get people complaining your changing the original or wasting it if it dyes wrong

[@christinamann3640]

Call it a thrift flip

[@mothmallow]

What a great idea for a video! As fun as the mystery boxes are, I think this is a way better idea. My favorite parts of your videos are when you are styling pieces together and creating outfits, so there was a lot of that to enjoy here!

[@alexandria3583]

i love this aesthetic so much, im just waiting for it to be cool outside. yesterday i wore a maroon corduroy button up dress with embroidery on it with little lacy socks and boots, and i felt so perfectly fall. the temp didn't get higher than like 75. it was amazing

[@jessicab7059]

Okay I love this aesthetic! I'm so here for the layering, the velvet, the prints, the cozy vibes. Definitely wanting to find more pieces like this now.

[@hannahharvey3292]

Girl!! Every single piece and outfit was AMAZING!! I’ve been following thrift KZbinrs for a long time; you are always so on point with styling and fashion, and creating outfits people want to recreate. Loved this so much!

[@HowCaseySeesIt]

I’m not surprised that you mentioned Buffy bc you’ve worn things in the past that remind me of her style

[@marianarochax23]

that green floral dress outfit looked 20/10 on you omg! think it's one of my favourites that you've ever done!!

[@NonStopParis]

Have you considered doing a video of making an outfit that encapsulates each of the different kibbe type rules? I think it could be fun and you could do it using clothes you already have :)

[@veerasonninen3368]

20:25 this outfit is too cute and looks so good on you! I also loved long denim dress it was so cool

[@alexandria3583]

omg the green floral dress with and without the denim jacket is SO CUTE!!

[@mudkittens]

The velvet pant look is for sure giving Buffy

[@kaylatomlinson824]

That purple flower dress was so pretty!

[@alexandria3583]

i can imagine that green matching set as a cute lounge outfit if you turned the capris into shorts

[@kaypluslee]

I also like this better than mystery boxes. I feel like it's more catered towards working your style into it.

[@joelle4040]

I'm obsessed with all three of those dresses you found !! They're so pretty

[@MM-te8fu]

Love love love the wine and black plaid dress...also love the white crop and velvet pants (it looks like an outfit Phoebe would wear)...the black cardigan goes really well with it..

[@olivemillermattis6856]

the fall vibes in this vid even though it’s 90 degrees where i am i love

[@beccyneville5373]

The last two outfits are my favourite omg 😍 the velvet pants are so incredible omg

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sophthedoph]

You are such a kind and considerate soul. With impeccable style!!

[@zoee1855]

i feel like along, floor-dusting sage green crochet sweater would be perfect for the white crop top and maroon pants outfit and it would elevate the whimsigoth aesthetic

[@SahbaMobini23]

You’ve outdone yourself I love these outfits!!!

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

Ugh ,I'm dying over all the cute items your NOT getting lol Loved that pink sheet top so much .

[@NerdInTheRain]

I love this video! I liked your mystery box videos but I much preferred seeing the pieces you picked. The purple floral dress with the deep v was on another level, so jealous! Even though this is broadly my aesthetic I found it interesting to see your perspective on styling certain items I have overlooked when I’ve come across them even though I’ve thrifted for years so this was super helpful! Would also love to see you continuing to style these pieces!

[@lilhonor5425]

I really enjoy this aesthetic! I definitely am looking forward to styling it for fall.

[@duchessedeberne3909]

The second outfit with the light black ties is so nice! I dressed like this through my highschool years

[@angelus823]

I think the balck cardigan on the outfit with the crop top and velvet pants looks great

The denim piece you’re wearing while shopping is so cute

I'm gonna save this video 'cause I loved all the outfits and I need fall and winter inspiration 🍂

[@ginadawson7289]

Every time you said something wasn’t the right color, I was screaming at my phone to dye it! The hot pink shirt probably could have been dyed a black or even dark purple with synthetic fabric dye!

[@alexasunshine83]

For sure! I definitely would do that in the future, but right now I'm trying to minis the amount of clothing projects I need to do because I'm trying to figure out my closet organization and I know right now it would end up lying in a pile for a year versus waiting until I know I will have time to dye it!

[@ginadawson7289]

great ideas again girl love them all. try the demin dress as a long vest unbutton it put over the white shirt an velvet pants may be kool

You could always get fabric dye for lighter pieces that you find and dye it at home, that’s usually what I do, and you can always find these fabric days at Michael’s or Hobby lobby or Joannes fabrics!!!
