I bought a MALL GOTH thrift store mystery box and this may be the best one I've EVER bought!

[@noctelupus]

As someone who is a Goth they actually did a really good job on this one, especially compared to that person you brought a 'grunge' mystery box from a while back that seemed really off the mark in terms of hitting the aesthetic, and also the items in here are closer to 'grunge' than that box was.

[@laurynheath4558]

omg!! i’m the depop seller :) thank you so so much for purchasing and im so glad you loved it 🥰🫶🏻

[@alexasunshine83]

You absolutely killed it 🖤🖤

[@choochalah]

well done!👍

[@kayshia7777]

You nailed it 😊

[@nadirasultanax]

Anytime Salem or Autumn stroll in, in any video, my attention just goes straight to them!

[@alexasunshine83]

I always get so excited when I'm editing a video and realize they were just chilling in the background the whole time 😅

[@karenprinz5987]

The dichotomy of a mall goth mystery box in bright cherry cheery wrapping 😂😂

[@jennywhiskey9327]

Great and accurate explanation of Mall Goth. I was a teenager in the 90’s and can confirm it was a thing. There was a hot minute where everyone in school got bit by the Hot topic fashion bug no matter what they listened to. But us weirdos were cutting the crotch and feet off our fishnet stockings and wearing them as tops before HT was widely available.

[@katyp564]

I think this is more femme and DIY/thrifted in aesthetic than proper mallgoth, which in turn makes it *way* more appealing. The plaid skirt reminds me of it the most. Shirt untucked is probably more historically accurate. The key items are humongous, ground-sweeping pants, either a tiny tee or something very baggy, low-rise flare bondage pants, black rubber bracelets and cuffs with spikes, aaaand a wallet chain. And random zippers on things!

[@Mielikkiii]

It is funny in a way, seeing things I wore as a teen/very young adult as "historically acurate"

[@katyp564]

@@Mielikkiii we've lived long enough to now now be authoritative 😇

[@mothmallow]

This took me back. I was a mall goth: in my teen years little goth me congregated with the other teen goths at the mall on Saturday nights where we would hang out, visit spencers & hot topic, play arcade games, and get chased around by the mall cop. I was a very DIY goth mostly using thrifted stuff and creativity like wearing a skull patterned shoelace as a choker. 😅😅 I am glad that the aesthetic lives on, even if my own style has expanded.

[@CarrieDayton]

omg the goth makeup is GIVING!!! all of this stuff was so cute!

[@alittleoddme1940]

Yes The Secret of mall goth is the fact that we didn't have KZbin tutorials on this makeup.

[@veerakaro]

The last outfit is so cute! I love the simplicity of it without being too plain, definitely something I could see myself wearing

[@lestranged]

The last outfit is my favorite. I actually want that holey sweater lol. The dainty heart necklace really doesn't have any relation to goth or mall goth, but these subcultures have always leaned heavily into silver jewelry so you probably stumped her when you said gold only.

[@tisbritney7799]

I’d love to see either a 60s mod or 60s psychedelic kind of mystery box! As that’s my style so would be really interesting to see!x

[@findingthesimilarity]

This was a super great mystery box. It all worked so well together mixed and matched! I feel like mystery boxes never end well. But this was great!

[@alexasunshine83]

I’m still shocked how great it was! I was so nervous I would hate everything 🙌🏼

[@inchard19]

Hey Alexa! I think it wd be rly cool if you add a short section to the end of these kinds of vids to show how you would personally style the pieces to incorporate into your own style!

[@alexasunshine83]

OOH! I hadn't thought of that, but yes I think maybe next one I will try and do that 💕 good idea!

[@inchard19]

🥰🥰🥰

[@linilavender]

I'd love to see a video with the downtown girl aesthetic 😍 Just came across it and it looks so cute and matches autumn so well.

[@alexasunshine83]

Oooh! I’ve seen it but haven’t really looked into it so that may be my next one!

[@hellokaity]

i freaking LOVE that last outfit. the 2000s scene kid in me is wishing i had that outfit.

[@KikiIsBusy]

I'm 36. This was exactly how I dressed in high school! I was very obsessed with Korn, Linkin Park, and the band Orgy. I held on to some of those clothes and recently passed them to one of my nieces who dresses the same.

[@josiehingst473]

that plaid skirt is my favourite clothing item you’ve ever shown on your channel! this mystery box absolutely NAILED it! ❣️

[@heididepotter8136]

I love all the pieces!!! I was a Goth end 1990. My hair was way more extreme thow and more chains. Styles evolve. Now I m more Boho. Good video girl! hugs

[@MedeaJaff]

Finally a good mystery box! And OMG Alexa, Goth makeup & clothing suits you so much! 🖤

[@alexasunshine83]

I was soooo nervous but yeah definitely the best one I’ve bought! It was so good!! ☺️☺️☺️🖤🖤🖤

[@thesavingsorceress]

Mall goth is one of my favorite aesthetics, and they really hit the mark here! The first look is absolutely gorgeous on you. I like the second shirt untucked for more vintage vibes. The third skirt is a dream! I’m in love with this box 🖤

[@punkybrewstar83]

Oh wow- what a great box- and such good value. You might be able to attach a longer handle to the bag and make it a cross body. Sometimes you get detachable extra ones with other bags. I have just got a pink bag that came with a chain handle, a short handle AND a long one 😂 Anyway- loved this- and I'm so pleased that this box worked out for you.

[@alexasunshine83]

Ooooh I’ll have my eye out to find something for it !

[@wlammy4ever]

Oversized sweater + mini skirt is suuuuuuch a look!

[@Pumpk79]

The last outfit is my absolute fave. The sweater is just 🔥. The bag was a great piece considering you didn't mention you prefer messenger bags. Honestly, so much can be done with that lace top. The gold jewelry isn't mall goth, but you requested it over silver. She did a great job considering...

[@Glued2God]

Can you do a video on granola girl/earthcore aesthetic?

[@verityharris8551]

The black dress would be sooo cute with a Peter Pan collar blouse underneath!

[@zainaprice7424]

I love the bag! I think you could definitely DIY it to make it a cross body by attaching a new strap. That would be sooo cute

[@MiscellaneousTopics]

Watching this video made me realize my style might be more mall goth than I thought (I had been calling this style “dark preppy” LOL💀) All of the outfits honestly looked so good on you!! My favorite was the midi red skirt one ❤️

[@alien.aryn88]

I would sayyyy...a loose studded belt over the red plaid skirt would be 👌for the mall goth asthetic. I really loved the dress outfit. I agree...a black and red striped turtle neck would be amazing on you. Loved the last look. Fit you so well! This was great 😊 really brought me back to my days shopping in Spencer's in highschool. 😊

[@lauren.13]

My little 90s baby heart is singing right now. I wanted this style sooooo bad. 🤣

[@alexasunshine83]

🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@deboramestieri]

EVERY SINGLE THING of the mistery box fits you SO well! I loooove this style on you 😍

[@professionalamateur741]

So fun!! My personal style dabbles a bit in the mall goth aesthetic (I didn’t know that’s what it’s called tho), so I got some nice outfit inspo here. Hot Topic is one of my favorite non-secondhand stores. I also love that you take the time to research the aesthetics you’re trying out. You’re awesome, and so was the video!

[@symphoniecameron]

omg this was such a good mystery box!!!! literally every outfit was so cute, im obsessed with both of the skirts you got!

[@Laila_Maria]

i love this video so much it really accurately explains the term mall goth in a non offensive way. there is nothing worse than people choosing to wear fashion without knowing it’s history. especially because 90s mall goths and nu metal artists were pretty marginalized by lots of christian communities and people in general in the US. From Marylin Manson being blamed for columbine and bands like coal chamber, Kittie and korn being reviled by parents. It’s the worse when people make trends of stuff that people were bullied for in the past so really appreciate the pretty extensive knowledge on the mall goth style💕💕

[@bronnyd7654]

That was a great box! I think the value was there and the short plaid skirt was perfect. 💗

[@ErinR1213]

I loved the videos! I love all the outfits you created with the pieces you got! It’s always good to step out of your comfort zone every once in awhile!💕

[@becca3656]

Oh my gosh! Too cute, loved every piece. I think this seller did a great job.

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

ok ok ok I'm an alternative/darkly inclined/mall goth/witchy type and this mystery box is great imo! And can I just say.... THAT BLACK LIPSTICK LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU!!! 💜💀

[@fvances]

I love the sweater. Last outfit was my fav.

[@evasheehan3111]

this was such a good mystery box and such good outfits!! for another trend idea, i would love to see ballet/ballerina core! it’s been all over my tik tok lol

[@nicolemoreland3754]

OMG!!!! I think that distressed sweater is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen❤

[@grav3yardbaby]

A striped turtleneck with that dress would be 100% perfect! I did really like the fishnet sleeves, but you were right, it was just missing a nice layering piece with a different style of neck.

[@debbiemcbee]

The last outfit looked so good on you!

[@Necro_Ghoul]

2:53 that’s me on the right side lmaooo

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

The last outfit with the distressed sweater and the skirt is definitely my favorite ! Love the sweater color

[@ccw2613]

I want the blue sweater you're wearing. It looks so cute and comfy and perfect for my Minnesota winter.

[@alexasunshine83]

It is so comfy! Wish it was cold enough where I live to properly wear it right now 😭 I sweating so bad after!

[@kaiseeb]

The last outfit is sooo cute!!!!

[@maya-gur695]

This box is so good! Everything looks amazing.

[@REnos811]

I know this is a long shot but I would love love love to see how you would style gremlincore

[@ashleybb7]

I loved these outfits, especially the last one

[@amandacurran9695]

I would love to see a minimalist aesthetic thrift mystery box (not sure if this even exists?) but in any case these are my favorite types of videos & I can’t wait to see your next thrift mystery box!!

[@hannahharvey3292]

You nailed these outfits! Such a good bundle!

[@CherieAndAngel]

I would love it if you styled the pieces you get how you would style them (or how you would style the aesthetic with them and your own clothes)

[@LaurynAmini]

Oh my gosh, the plaid skirts?!? To die for!! 💖

[@Jacargon]

compliments to the chef (the depop seller), they nailed it! Last look was absolutely on point

[@Blvckwdow]

Okay but this aesthetic looks amazing on you and your makeup was on point!

[@heididepotter8136]

I want to thank you for the fun video s, for brgthening my days. For the knowlidge you share. For you honesty and weirdness. Please never change!!!! You are perfect the way you are. Dont let negative reactions get you down. We followers love you. I cant thank you enough. Sorry that I cant buy but I will defend you and will support you all the way. In the way I can all the way from Belgium. Lots of love Heidi

[@rachelepperly1258]

I also don't like low rise but I think the rise of the red plaid skirt is actually great as is!

[@wtvrnouis]

definitely my favorite mystery box bundle.. the seller did such a good job with the aesthetic and following ur Pinterest board

[@kimbarbeaureads]

I loved the last outfit. It looks cozy and dark. I liked the little plaid skirt and the dress the best.

[@alyssanew6966]

mystery box videos from you and Carrie in the same week?! making me want to order one again!! 😍

[@sydneychristensen2058]

This sooo good, I love the skirts and ripped sweater! I actually think that first outfit looked super cute with the scoop neck

[@Christa2025]

It would be super awesome if you could do a balletcore mystery box! I myself am a dancer and I haven't really heard of balletcore until recently, and it would be cool if you did a balletcore mystery box!

[@sliceof_ro]

the red skirt would go so well with the sweater!

[@allana1997]

YAY WE LOVE ALEXA!!! Wednesdays are my fridays and i get so excited when you post during the week! Like a little reward for making it to then end of my week

[@alexasunshine83]

Awwwwww! That means so much 😭❤️

[@Spookdog]

I would've expected the lace top to go under the dress tbh! maybe that would be a better fit? I feel like the lace top over the cami that already has lace on it as well is a bit of a weird combo haha

[@reneenevermore2771]

Last outfit is my favorite. Perfect.

[@kirstenlamont7680]

The sweater with the shirt is amazing!!!!!!

[@mudkittens]

I love these mystery box videos so much lol I know they’re chaotic and rough but that’s why I love them 😅

[@Skatamoosh]

This was your best one yet! I’m soo host you did this style!

[@hopereiffer9756]

i think your make up looks great alexa! and the pieces were top! another great video, thanks alexa😘

[@alexasunshine83]

Definitely my black lipstick application needs some work but thank you 🖤🖤

[@gaelle4328]

Put your hair upp in a chignon style and do a wine red lip also you need something like a spiderweb necklace, possibly making some moon symbol high on top of your cheek, would also do a dark blue eyeshadow with a bit of gunmetal shine ( can get that with vaseline btw), possibly fingerless gloves and a dark nailpolish of some kind.

[@curlycue1983]

This was so fun and gurl, I LOVE seeing you in Goth and alternative makeup! :D

[@smk1499]

THE FIRST BAG AND THE LAST SWEATER OMGG

[@kellybell6442]

Love these pieces & outfits! Maybe you could use the red midi skirt as an under skirt, so it peeps out from under a slightly shorter black skirt?

[@megandrover340]

for the hair the blonde works but feel like high pigtails would shiftit towards the 90s mallgoth vibe

[@wigglegirl8]

love that alexa and carrie both uploaded mystery box videos today

[@stratosphere94]

This was so cute! I love the holey sweater 🖤

[@tatianavelasco1335]

the red gingham max skirt is so cute!

[@TheBeautifulTruthh]

alexa! show us how you’d style these pieces in your own style :-) i see you wearing that red skirt with a vest/waist coat

[@abbymccorkindale227]

I hope the mystery box seller gets a lot of business from this!! they did SO WELLLLLL

[@butterflyjones8104]

I’m obsessed with the bag!! 😫

[@joannalynch6655]

I love each look and I think your makeup looks FAB!

[@CoolShadowCat19]

Growing up I had a group of friends that were literally mall goths. They fit the style perfectly but they hung out at an old abandoned mall in the middle of our town haha

[@ashapnw3109]

I’m obsessed with that sweater

[@wendywhitley4611]

I'd like to see you do the Meg Ryan Autumn aesthetic. I was watching When Harry Met Sally today, and thought that would be a great look to try for you.

[@graceleathers5970]

My fave look is the jersey and dark plaid skirt, so cute

[@stellalowe2346]

Gorgeous lipstick!!

[@babygurl6962]

this was a siick box. you look great in everything 💘

[@erintobiasz]

I loooove you as Goth. You look so good & natural like this. Thought that in 1st Goth vid, too. Own it girl!

[@writtenbyrabbits6563]

The sweater is so good! Great mystery box. :)

[@confessionsofarebel6666]

I think this is the best mystery box video I have seen of yours, I love all of the pieces that you got, but then again I'm probably biased as I myself rock a more goth/alternative style. 🙂👍

[@agnibet4206]

The only mistake here is that you asked for gold jewellery. Nobody wore gold back then. You need a leather studded bracelet and a black with silver choker. Besides that, it is good!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Not goth at all, and not into short skirts, but the last outfits slays and I would wear the heck out of it.

[@tamycarniello]

i just commented this on carrie’s video, but i just had an amazing idea for a christmas video!! you should make each other an thrifted advent calendar! and then you can style the piece each day?!? i would looooove that concept

[@hannw7]

You have such a cool channel! All of these look great!

[@ennamusic6886]

Omg I was just watching and I saw my tiktok pop up ahaha! thank you for using mine, I love your channel

[@LadyReese]

My little metalhead heart exploded when you said Rammstein like "Ram scene" :( it's more like Ram-Stine

[@veerakaro]

My little European brain took a second to compute Alexa meant Rammstein, never considered it could be pronounced like that. But I mean it's understandable that she wouldn't know 😅

[@alexasunshine83]

I’m so sorry 😭😭😭 I thought I was saying it correct completely my bad !! I grew up listening to Korn and Slipknot from my sisters, but had never heard of White Zombie or Rammstine 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@c8lyn128]

I want every item omg literally unboxing hit after hit I would cry if my wardrobe was this good

[@amber_sw3846]

YESS... this is like my favourite aesthetic

[@LovelySunshine17]

Love these! Reminds me of middle school 🥰
