come thrift with me on BLACK FRIDAY! thrifting on a SALE DAY EXTRAVAGANZA + 4 thrift stores in 1 day

[@alien.aryn88]

Hey Alexa! I've always put "handwash" sweaters in the machine insideout on delicate cycle, cold water, and hang to dry and they've been completely fine. So if you have a delicate cycle on your machine it could save you in the future. I've never actually handwashed anything in my life. Lol.

[@carlysuplita6816]

Came here to say this! This is exactly what I do

[@alexasunshine83]

I wish I knew this before 😭 thank you!

[@alien.aryn88]

@@alexasunshine83 you live and you learn. Happy to be of service. 😂😊

[@thomberlychannel]

Some washers have a hand wash cycle too. Mine does. But if not then yes, delicate cycle works too. Just air dry it after and you’re good!

[@merppa9842]

Safer to dry flat. Hangers can stretch the knit and you end up having little ”horns” on your shoulders.

[@kimberleymoses-mx1vp]

You should create 12 Christmas outfits/ looks with your Christmas sweaters and cardigans for the 12 days of Christmas as a video idea! ❤😊

[@savannahjones2058]

I think the white button up dress is the perfect thing to finally pull in patterned tights 😅 would be so cute with your color block tights, I think!

[@scholllla]

This may be a wild idea but: you can wear Christmas sweater any time of the year, just like you can eat trail mix at home - nobody checks that! 😉

[@ivania321]

[@tiniestmonkey]

The halloween sweater thing made me think I'd love an 'advent' 12 days of Christmas outfits video where you can show off your festive sweaters :)

[@myhazyyyy8512]

the wide sleeve NYC top would be so damn cute with a miniskirt. its giving early 2000s/new york minute

[@ReggyCupcake]

Good deal on the sunday best cardigan! Those retail around $40-$70 depending on the fabric :) (the cashmere and wool ones get really up there)

[@Juli_Stranger]

The white dress is so you! I think it could also look amazing over denim with like a vest on top as well! There are so many options with it! Im also a big fan of the animal print top with black denim, that's such a good look!

[@ErinBerlintop10]

One of my good friends worked at my local Goodwill and she said they would keep nicer items back all year to put out specifically on Black Friday -- I have never gone because the line to get in gets crazy.

[@quorrakai]

Animal print is definitely a classic! It's always in style. That top looked amazing with the dark denim!! 😎 I love camo print, it adds a cool pop of color to an outfit.

[@christinamann3640]

Even the pieces you just looked at were really interesting. I like how you’ve grown into knowing your own style over the years, though all the trying new things out of your comfort zone.

[@crystaldawnleslie1553]

I totally love the preschool teacher vibes you givee off at times ❤ super adorable 😍

[@kristinandrews7471]

THAT XMAS CAT SWEATER!! 😻🎄❤️

[@amycraven6678]

I recommend getting a garment steamer rather than a iron, especially if you have a lot of garment with gathers and pleats! Plus is double as a refresher and sanitizer

[@lynettebunac9565]

That white dress is super cute!

[@shilohgoes5544]

The NY top is sooo cute

[@amandajaneh]

Loving the animal print top on you - I’m looking for something like this next time I go thrifting!

[@melissaf7031]

The gymnastics you did to justify the Christmas sweater 😂 loved the haul!!

[@dmreddragon6]

That blouse @3:00 mins was so pretty/elegant, Would've been so fun to wear with a sweater vest, or leather vest. Love the long sleeve NY graphic tee.

[@corey5249]

all the stuff you grabbed was just gorg!! :3

[@buningitka]

The Sunday Best cardigan was definitely not $18!! In Canada at least, those sweaters are probably like $70

[@alexasunshine83]

Oh dang!! Okay, I feel better then!

[@buningitka]

It’s super cute on you!! Such a good find

[@erikao3982]

I was going to say this too! Aritzia is a pretty pricey brand, in my opinion

[@x.cierra]

Info from a lil shopaholic: Derek heart is a brand that ends up at retail chains like Ross most the time! Also I love the white dress. Thanks for another Black Friday video 🫶🏻

[@CinnamonRose99spam]

You definitely can wear that sweater for Valentine's day or juat February, my mom used to keep the Christmas tree up until February and I would hang hearts on them

[@JennaMcCallister]

I’m glad I’ve gotten you on the leopard/cheetah print as a neutral lol. It’s so versatile!

[@christinamann3640]

The kittens in shoes on your top are so cute 😃🥰

[@kaykerns2287]

Love the black peasant/Mexican style top

[@wlammy4ever]

Ok looking like a academic princess in the red sweater + glasses😍

[@Heather-fx4qm]

Holiday shirts just make me happy! ❤

[@minyoung3767]

I am vert sas about the blouse, and yellow coat, and red and white zip-up!!! THEY WERE STUNNING

[@deemayhew4211]

Love the white dress and I’m so glad you got the Christmas sweater!! It’s adorable! Love your videos

[@floriannemk3530]

The white dress is peeeerfect ! I dont know if its your style but you should try it over wide leg trousers or jeans, it could be pretty cool !

[@Fac725]

I’ve got a Karen Scott vintage Christmas sweater and it’s amazing and definitely washes well! Great video ❤

[@erinnmackie3507]

The white dress. Perfect for a corset or a short pinafore dress.

[@christymckissick9217]

Aww that first dress looked so good on you!!

[@fairyhag13]

absolutely adore your thrift hauls, i live vicariously through you so I don't thrift as much 😭 but i went to Plato's Closet and their special for BF is putting out the "good brand" inventory they've been holding on to and I ended up spending $100... sooooo worth it tho!!

[@tracyhuckaby5876]

I would suggest a steamer over an iron. A steamer is much quicker to use and easy to travel with if needed.

[@WallysMom77]

That first floral dress looked great on you. I would have put a long sleeve under the top.

[@Thriftmechic]

Was so excited that you bought the Christmas sweater!

[@pepperspei6804]

A hand-held clothes steamer is easier/quicker to use than an iron. Sometimes you still need an iron, but a steamer makes me less wrinkly, more often.

[@Bejewelle88]

Kinda love the holiday sweater

[@heididepotter8136]

Thriftstorehopping. Love You waring red, girl! So happy You for the animalprint top Loved the yellowish jacket and cardigan on youYou rock those sweathers. Just wash them on the wool program. HUGS x

[@ognyc71]

I need that NYC shirt..I've never heard of the statement "The City of Pride" describing us..but its accurate 👍

[@Mikey-go7yo]

I loved your podcast about christmas sweaters xD

[@DebbieMcBee14]

I’m so glad you got the animal print top! When you held it up I was saying get it, get it!! Lol. I am on the hunt for a velvet dress. Not a mini body con, I’m 60, and not a fancy party dress. Just a long sleeved, just above the knee or midi length. I’m limited to one thrift shop though. I have one in my cart on Amazon, but I really want to thrift one.

[@carolinaventura2768]

Love the video❤

[@karli4074]

Literally searched for your channel and found a video I haven’t watched yet cuz I was having a rough day but I love your energy😊 thanks for making videos, Alexa💛

[@alexasunshine83]

Thank you so much for watching 😭❤️

[@StephanieCeleste]

You always have the best thrift videos, can’t wait to watch ❤ also LOVING you in red ❤

[@gwenmakes]

Okay but 12 days of Christmas sweaters is very reasonable 👀♥️

[@breannahoehn]

Hey Alexa! This was a great thrift trip! You always find such amazing pieces! And I cannot get over how absolutely adorable your cat sweater is! Finding one similar is a must for me! 🩷 happy Sunday!

[@LaurynAmini]

I think I need to step up my Christmas sweater game!

[@fridatavira364]

goodwill does a $2 black friday sale! it’s super fun to go!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Alexa happy Sunday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@denisef5217]

I’ve been loving your videos and trying to get more into second hand clothing because of sustainable reasons. Last week I visited a thrift store (in Germany) for the first time and inward so overwhelmed and impatient, i walked right out. Maybe I’ll stay with online second hand shopping and being able to use filter for now

[@roflolwtfomg]

It’s so respectful how you blur other peoples’ faces in your videos!

[@IndigoWearsell]

I went thrift hopping on Black Friday and the items I got are so fantastic I’m still shocked by them

[@hmr1504]

I loved the yellow jacket. It looked so good on you😊

[@heididepotter8136]

Thank You for brigthening my day Alexa x

[@alexasunshine83]

Ah thank you for brightening my day with your comment!!!! ❤❤❤

[@abigailbalingit5416]

Hi Alexa! Out of curiosity, what mic do you use for your videos? It's great!!

[@starrwinter]

I had the same % coupons as the 🇨🇦 Black Friday deal for 30% and went in the day before and found a lot of good things they were putting out for the Friday for the same price 😂 plus… no crowds.

[@HappilyReadingBooks]

I was waiting for that snowman top 👀 I have like a ton of snowman sweaters for Christmas. My fav. ☃️

[@marianacorreia2449]

The thrift store playing Mine by Taylor Swift exactly good vibes in there

[@MidnightMuse102]

13:11 I love this dress 🤍

[@maya-gur695]

My Black Friday shopping express was horrible this year lol The store was packed and people just kept grabbing stuff. I could barely get to the section that had my size because people were blocking the aisles. Ended up thrifting one skirt and standing in line way too long. I'm glad you had a more pleasant experience.

[@alexasunshine83]

Oh my goodness! Yeah the last thrift store was the only one that was "busier" but still less busy than a normal saturday honestly

[@NorthernThrifters]

You must have more patience than me, lol. All of my "hand wash only" clothing goes straight into the washer. I just use the gentle cycle. Haven't ruined anything yet!

[@sophiajulianelydolph222]

The animal print shirt 😻

[@emmy8526]

Fun haul! If a sweater can’t handle a cold machine wash on a knit cycle (I also use a bulky or speed wash setting depending on the machine and load weight), that’s on the sweater honestly. After, toss in the dryer for 2-3 minutes to get the wrinkles and starchiness out then air dry and stretch back out while wet if needed. Once dry, toss in the dryer on a no-heat (air fluff) setting for about 10 minutes to soften and refluff. It’s only the scratchy new wool type knits that should only be hand washed. Those sheep do not like to be wet apparently.

[@sydneybergeron4672]

Do you ever thrift athleisure/work out clothes? If so, how does that usually go? 😄

[@alexasunshine83]

I'm quite picky with workout clothes so I always get mine from Girlfriend Collective! I love thrifted pajamas though for lounging!

[@sydneybergeron4672]

@@alexasunshine83 Ah, I'll have to check out girlfriend collective. I've thought about thrifting workout clothes but have been hesitant. 😄 At most so far, I've thrifted some running shorts that have held up great.

[@cozycasasmr4510]

usually over Christmas I'm in the southern hemisphere and it's blazing hot, but this year I'll be visiting family in a snowy area and I have no idea how to dress cute for that kind of weather and still keep it christmassy

[@kathleengempel5814]

Great haul!

[@probablycrocheting]

my sister just thrifted the EXACT snowman longsleeve turtleneck from your opening clip TODAY!! what a coincidence!!!

[@kellytimms129]

That would be an awesome video to do 31 Christmas sweaters!!!! Do it!!!!

[@clairvoyant896]

Great fun, interesting video, as always!! 🥰🥰🥰 Crossroads are just RUDE with no Black Friday sales!! 🤨

[@MM-te8fu]

I had so much fun thrift shopping on Black Friday two places was 50%. Another you spin a wheel and I got 20 or 25%

[@snoozes]

trust me, don't get an iron get a steamer instead! soooo much faster, more portable, plus you don't need to actually touch the clothes so you don't get those crisp lines that only look good on button-up shirts haha

[@2pretzel]

Hey Alexa, since I know you like Winnie the Pooh, they had some cute earrings at the Savers in Fountain Valley in the showcase 🐻

[@hannahlaubacker7686]

I went to salvation army on black friday and got an originally 100+ dollar gown for 40, then 50% off!

[@agnaeoh6992]

Get a steamer! Not an iron! Both are useful, but if you're just looking to get wrinkles out, a steamer is easier. You dont have to buy an ironing board, so its more compact. I love my little handheld steamer, and i reach for it far more often than i do my iron.

[@angiealarcon6732]

My goodwill had a 50% off on Black Friday

[@JosephineJames-x7b]

Alexa instead of an iron invest in a good steamer, I haven’t looked back since I purchase mind

[@duchessedeberne3909]

Why do the thrift places in the US not have changing rooms? Like what is the logic behind this? I think people would buy more, if they are sure it fits.

[@Tigersox24]

before covid it was super common for most thrift stores (at least in my area) but many places never opened them back up :(

[@kaler06]

around 7:20 my ultra swiftie ears kicked in abglhfgsd (the speakers were playing mine)

[@amandajohnson1950]

Goodwill did 50% off we go every black friday such a good time

[@em_hamp]

If you're ever in LA, I work at American Cancer Society Discovery Shop West LA, we always have different color tags at 50 & 75% off, on black friday we had 25% off everything, and we'll have 50% off everything Dec. 9 & 10! I would love to have ya come by, and I can hook you up!!

[@daisyrae1543]

Love red on you! I can’t believe your thrift stores have no changing rooms. I don’t get that.

[@ccw2613]

Put panty liners on the inside of the arm pit on the white dress and remove when you wash and it will help with yellowing.

[@alexasunshine83]

I always sweat through the panty liners 😭

[@penelopepegg7834]

i really dont like most animal print but you suit it so well. you kind of give Melody vibes from josie and the pussy cats

[@loucindaparshall4756]

Don’t get an iron just get a steamer it is way easier and a lot faster 🛒

[@estelleeyre2179]

ahhhh oh my gosh I'm so jealous!!

[@ClaudiCorbo]

would you ever do a tattoo tour 👀

[@v3nus1nfurs]

she has like 3 tattoos

[@DANIxDANGER]

Savers did their F&F sale last week Saturday. One of the YL Savers employees gave me their coupon so I'm wondering if they only do that now vs having it available for everyone on Black Friday?

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

Next time, get a pair or earrings that would put you up in the next percentage of savings, or a bracelet or something small that would turn out to be really free.

[@JENIA_SH]

Strangely I have a feeling that the December video will be of maternity clothe Happy holiday
