This company did you dirty, girl. I agree with most/all of your opinions!

[@SophieDP1]

I would have loved to see you do this with Alexa, I can’t help but wonder whether the quality of the items is due to the size inclusiveness? So it would have been good to compare xxl to a s/m/l!

[@littlegreencap28]

I totally agree! As someone who tries to shop secondhand, and wears a size large in a lot of things, the selection is always a lot less than sizes xs-sm

[@jessicaa3198]

I just had this same thought. I would watch a collab to test the theory

[@mukatsa]

I think Alexa also likes her crewnecks oversized. Not sure if she would go for the s/m category.

[@SophieDP1]

@@mukatsa I know but even in L they might have more stock!

[@marinaich8619]

@@mukatsa that sucks real bad and only shows privelage imo... :/

[@amapola9202]

The Disney Cruise half-zip one actually looks really good on you fit-wise, the embroidery is relatively small, you could get an embroidered patch of something else and cover it with it. I know that’s probably more effort than you’d like for something so trivial but i think it’s a good way to salvage that one (and the fact that despite you buying this might mean a lot of these are getting re-donated and might end up in a landfill anyway, that way you give it a longer lifespan)

[@audriraine7867]

omg she could take the patch from the henley tee she didn't like and put it on the zip up!

[@amandasafterword9512]

^^ agreed that this is SUPER cute, just cover the embroidery with something else because the aesthetic & fit is 10/10

[@Prizzilla]

Yeah I liked that one, it’s a vibe for early morning walks with the dog and coffee runs.

[@desertvibes6080]

I feel like we need an upcycling bad mystery box items follow up 😅or one where you make or commission your own dream Disney shirts collab w an artist!

[@kimberlyrowland7457]

OR her and Alexa thrift each other or subscriber Disney mystery boxes.

[@emmaharris8023]

Hi Carrie! I think the embroidered Pooh with the honey on the waffle type shirt would be cute with a white long sleeve mock neck. I’ve seen people wearing long sleeves under tshirts recently so I think that early 2000s style is back. As always, thanks for the video ❤

[@LPS102]

Agreed! I think the sleeves rolled up would look cute too :)

[@hellosunshinee14]

Agree!

[@valariec9132]

Yes! I was even thinking cutting up to the seams somewhat like a vest and maybe even a long sleeve under it. She always pulls so much off that I feel like she could pull that off!

[@cristicruz2938]

Carrie noooo 😂 these companies should allow returns or exchanges, store credit, anything to justify the price. And RIP the ringer tee!

[@Soleil5291]

The active duty army jacket sent me over the edge. I was dying laughing out loud for a few minutes straight. I also died laughing at the Walmart wrangler jeans that were severely worn 😭😭😭😭 please don’t stop doing the mystery boxes 🥺🥺

[@juliaruth8693]

Haha me too with the army jacket!! My husband is active duty and I was actually dying….. so funny that got sent

[@hannahmeyer4847]

Yeah but I mean it was what she ordered...if not gotta be more specific 😂

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

I've yet to ever see a mystery box from anywhere that is actually worth it...I think if it was good they would sell it individually. At least you got a few cute things...

[@rebeccasmith7149]

Um...as someone who was obsessed with Tweety as a child I would die for that yellow Tweety crewneck! ❤❤❤ I will buy it from you!!! 😂

[@gabriela_egas]

You can always tie dye the one that got ruined in the wash with red dye that way the sleeve blends in!❤ Even if you don’t wear it, someone might repurchase it that way.

[@hesed1591]

The first shirt is the perfect vintage tee to me. It’s simple and easy to style. I absolutely adore it!

[@savannahjones2058]

For the short sleeve Henley you could cut the sleeves at an angle (almost cap sleeve style) and put a thermal under and give it an early 00s/greaser mechanic vibe 🤷‍♀️ maybe not your style, just an idea! Haha maybe drew would like it that way?

[@CreatePeace612]

Carrie please, no more mystery thrift boxes 😭It's painful to watch you keep getting scammed.

[@jessicaa3198]

I wonder if the size determines how good items are. Since we all know larger sizes, tend to pull the short stick in fashion. Makes me wonder if you got a smaller clothing size, would the haul have better product designs.

[@aurakaykayy]

Girl I feel you when people make negative comments about something you’re already not happy about it just digs the wound even more. It’s so wholesome to see you excited and happy and enjoying the little things in life, that’s what life is all about ❤️

[@kazzmastah]

I get that the prices have to be higher than thrift store because they are collecting and organizing the clothing and the cost of Disney branded clothing can be high but...... they are definitely over promising and under performing.

[@esther5636]

For the henly, you could have someone with more sewing experience add the bottom half of the sleeve in a different colour! Get some henly fabric from the fabric store in one of the colours from the embroidery (i think light blue would be super cute) and then have colour blocked sleeves!

[@kaytoomuchsalt5100]

I’m not anti-thrifting by any means and have even grown to appreciate it more thanks to videos like yours, Alexa’s, and Karina’s, but these unboxings very much have the vibe of what thrifting can actually be like as opposed to the rosy-eyed way people talk about and portray it - there are gems but there’s also plenty of dingy stuff. Also I know that Alexa has also not been super thrilled with mystery boxes and has done a few videos where she goes to the thrift store and makes her own “mystery box” - it could be fun to see you two collab on a video like that! ETA: also I agree with another comment that seeing you do an upcycling follow-up video would be fun!

[@SherbetLemonMate]

Yes! Carrie and Alexa making their own themed mystery box would be so good!

[@hannahmeyer4847]

Oh yes they should make mystery boxes for each other ❤

[@trixi1608]

I agree. With mystery boxes you'll always have hits and misses, that's kind of part of the deal.

[@jaydacheyenne]

I LOVED the first walt tee, the Henley and the grumpy shirt 😂 thanks for doing these! My wallet thanks you

[@aksez2u]

LOL - The Grumpy t-shirt was one of my favorites, too! I literally laughed out loud 🤣. People definitely have different tastes!

[@Miausan14]

I would literally cut the sleeves off and replace them with real hentley sleeves, or have it without sleeves all together! You could also do a double button flap moment, depending on how much you want to go into upcycling, versus just fixing them to your liking haha. Always cut so that the seam is remaining on the body section of this top if possible!

[@Miausan14]

Also, crop what you can! I would wear a lot of these, as long as i could find a way to show that i still have a waist!

[@Miausan14]

Also... low key feel like these were mainly mens clothing? anyone else? Also, the tweety bird might be my favorite... just for the checkered race flag!

[@OmGiTsKayTlyN]

First top would be cute in a marigold color. Otherwise you could experiment with dyeing clothes with Avocado peels and pits (very pretty neutral color) because you're eating so much avocado toast 😁

[@kalliedoscope]

CARRIE! For the adorable ringer tee, try Rit Color Remover! I sell vintage clothes (of which a lot are dry clean only but ain’t nobody got time for that), and this has saved my butt a time or two! Also invest in color catcher sheets! I put two in almost every load of laundry, and it catches almost all dye runoff. If you ever want a mystery box from me, I’d be so happy to curate one for you 💛💛💛

[@jaycamp6298]

It's so nice seeing a disney v neck. I almost exclusively wear v necks and Disney never seems to have them so it's really cool to know they're out there somewhere.

[@Soleil5291]

Carrie!!!!! I’ve been waiting patiently for another one of these bad boys. I’ve sent my entire family some of your mystery thrift box videos. The hilariousness of it all/ your genuine spirit make these videos food for the soul. You’re a gem.

[@CarrieDayton]

this means SO much, Soleil!!! thank you 🥰🥺❤

[@Soleil5291]

@@CarrieDaytonit’s true! You’re clearly an extremely kind hearted, genuine person. It shines through your videos. I love your videos. I feel like we are friends and really hope you do some kind of meet up one day!

The pooh bear button t shirt could be cute cropped 👀

[@rxxrcousin]

Girl if you want those automatically vintage feel tshirts, try comfort colors. Amazing brand.

[@zobox0x0]

You should do a video where you dye clothes that you don’t wear so that you actually want to wear them!

[@rosalynanna]

I feel bad for saying this because I love Carrie, but I really enjoy these mystery box videos. Something about the anticipatory excitement followed by the disappointment of reality is just so entertaining to me.

[@erikaroth8494]

The winny the pooh button tee would be cute if someone did like a patchwork repurpose. Cut the sleeves off and add some flannel sleeves. I think it's be ADORABLE

[@maddinovak6451]

You and Alexa sunshine stress me out with the thrift mystery boxes 😂 but y’all keep buying them

[@justanotheryoutubeuser4597]

You can use color run removers to fix the ringer tee! Works every time 💁🏻‍♀️

[@catvogel1404]

For the short sleeve, Henley top, I think it would be super cute. I said, cut the sleeves out of like an old sweatshirt or something and then sew them on after you remove the short sleeves so you also have a two-tone moment.

[@jjjuuullliiiaaa]

that pooh short sleeve buttoned shirt is sooo cute def would look good with a white tennis skirt

[@pattiupton1499]

I love the tye dye!!

[@beyondthestacks]

That Walt Disney world shirt would be amazing. So many cool things to do with it.

[@sophiag612]

These companies RIP PEOPLE OFF! They know that people are expecting cute clothes (which I know is objective), but giving people stained clothes, employee sweaters, and just plain ugly items is uncool. Especially when they advertise with cute vintage looking pieces.

[@vocalnerd]

Totally agree! When Carrie said the first T-shirt was stained, I was low-key outraged. Prospective buyers know that vintage means old/previously worn, but we still expect items to be in decent condition. These companies are taking advantage of us by acting as though dingy clothing meets the standard to be sold. Very uncool, indeed.

[@aprilalfaro2995]

Try a LS turtleneck (I personally would do white) with the Winnie the Pooh short sleeve Henley! Or a sleeveless turtle for transition seasons? Idk I like the idea of the turtle neck vs a regular collar sticking it the top

[@livijoy3867]

You could wear a long sleeve white shirt underneath the short sleeve embroidered Pooh shirt?

[@kennedywilcox2887]

Tip so that what happened to the Mickey ringer tee doesn’t happen again: buy these things called color catchers. They look like dryer sheets, but they go in the wash and catch color from staining items like that!

[@au_barb]

You could style the Pooh henley over a long sleeve chambray/denim button up with the collar out - that would be really cute in the fall.

[@piscesbby666]

I love when you do these bc your reactions are everything 💀

[@allie9767]

OMG I WANT THE TYE DYE MICKEY SHIRT SOOOOO BAAADDDDD I LOVE IT LOOOOVVVEEE

[@Beth71249]

I would never do a mystery box for that amount of money. You are brave! 😂

[@hannahhall8411]

The Christmas Mickey is perfect!!

[@nickiraeeexo1915]

I love the idea of this, but the colors and prices of the items in total is a hard pass for me. It makes for a fun video though!

[@shilohgoes5544]

Would love an upcycle video of you tie-dying the one that ruined in the wash and the “dingy” colored one!

[@libbycb96]

that first tee is everything!! 😍

[@crushgoil]

The Jurassic Park one and Tweety Bird ones are the only two that I like haha

[@no_life_til_libra]

The grumpy shirt and the tweety shirts were so cute!

[@jasminelambert3753]

You could totally dye the first one and the one that got dyed in the wash! Make sure you keep color theory in mind and dye darker and in the same color family. The ringer tee you could dye red or even tie dye it and you wouldn’t be able to tell! The first one you could dye something really dark like a maroon or navy or something closer to it like a green. An army or forest green would look so good! I’m glad you found a couple gems and I hope you’re able to make some work with sue or just sell them! For the Pooh cream sweatshirt you should try icy clean or you could dye that too. You could do red or a darker yellow and it would totally fit the theme of it!

[@peeeeh6978]

Make a vest out of the blue shirt that you thought was a Henley! You could wear it under a white long sleeve

[@annabelhillstrom]

Stop the Pooh and piglet crew neck !!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so so cute

[@sierrarichardson3196]

Carrie we are not asking you to do this again, this was so bad 😂😂😂

[@Skybabe82]

TIE DYE the first shirt pink!!

[@thesweetpetes8961]

Oof the Disney cruise half zip 😅😅😅

[@CheshireGrumps]

Have to agree, most of these are not super great. HOWEVER, I'd love to see a video where you make a genuine effort to style them and maybe wear them for a day 👀

[@HeeeeyyYou]

Okay, yes that box wasn’t great BUT that Tweety Bird one is my fav!!!!! I absolutely love it!

[@catherine-eggallergyinmd]

For the Pooh shirt you hoped was a long sleeve Henley maybe you could style it with a long sleeve shirt in a contrasting color underneath which would give major 90's/Y2K vibes.

[@melissataylor7349]

I’m not a huge Disney fan and actually have never been to any of the parks, cruises, anything. But I think the first shirt is super cute. I love a simple tee

[@marinaich8619]

The girl spat out an insane sum on that white tshirt full of holes she wore oncein her life but has a problem with this box? Insane...

i love the pooh one from the start

[@kristinteskey4610]

The tie dye one would be so cute with white jeans or shorts.

[@Ro-pv4fr]

Hey Girlie 😍well dang it , I’d recommend using a 🌟 Shout Color Catcher 🌟 Some Oxy And then DIY & Rit Dye cut the neck /arms / hems etc someone gave a patch idea or cut sleeves off and add new sleeves of your liking… And also when styling, of course, tie up and crop etc. to try to salvage and of course anyone that wants to buy them of course sell it if you don’t like it, good luck your videos are always fun🫶🏼🫶🏼🥰🥰🥰🦄🦄 I’d also like to see a real Thrift trip looking for Disney vintage since you live in SoCal I think you would have very good luck!

[@nicolettebenedict5933]

For the ringer tee- wash it again a couple times with a color collector sheet. It might still be ok!

[@kbotelho8976]

I can see why you were disappointed with the picks, but these are such fun videos to watch! ❤ I love the surprise element… maybe just choose a different mystery box theme.

[@oliversmith6014]

that tweety one is so amazing!! oh my gorsh!

[@AnimeProduction101]

Mystery boxes are just a way for companies to get rid of their slow seller items. Most of the items in the box are not in good condition or are ugly and then they will throw in 1-2 "amazing items" to excuse the horrible ones you got. You paid $15 for each shirt when some of those shirt are more like $5-$7.

[@HEB2004]

I have too much anxiety to order mystery boxes. I need to know what I'm getting. The idea excites me, but the uncertainty makes me nervous, lol. I live vicariously thorough you buying boxes to see what looks good.

[@shilohgoes5544]

Not “hold on and scream” 😹😹😹😹😹

[@allisonmallory2641]

The ringer tee is so cute! It looks like just some other dye got on it, what if you tie dyed it?? It could still be so cute to wear!

[@AdamosGirl]

Aw my mom would love that Tweety sweater! Its so cute

[@bridget9920]

For the Henley t-shirt, you could maybe cut off the sleeves and sew on two different colored sweatshirt sleeves, to make it like a cool colorblock shirt lol

[@shellz_2135]

The blue Henley t-shirt would be so cute if you wore a long sleeve underneath! And I actually love the grumpy tee! You looked cute in all of them!

[@kristy_Henry]

the one, you got ruined in the Wash, dye it Baby pink, it's a cute color combo and it saves the shirt

[@brookehargett2970]

The 4th one I think the blue Pooh button up… you could cut off the sleeves and make into a vest

[@k-linnette]

Your outfit is GIVING original Oompa Loompa in the best way! Truly love it

okay but like.. i need that tweety sweatshirt. its so cute

[@TianaKy]

[@sarahrosein_ott]

[@taylorbertling363]

Carrie!! I would totally buy that first shirt from you… All and all seems like more misses than hits with these boxes. But those couple cute Pooh things are adorable!

[@katlynskyecommunication925]

Oh gosh my father would LOVE that Grumpy tiki shirt if it makes it to your Poshmark.

[@heatherw3367]

Wait I love that grumpy tiki shirt!! Would totally buy it

[@mandy833]

7:20 Try styling that Pooh piece with a red long sleeve underneath and some converse. Layer up to make the sleeve length cooler. Throw on a mustard beanie. You could go for some red converse for a matchy matchy look or some basic navy or black ones if you want more subtle vibes.

[@franticlullaby]

For the embroidered Pooh not-Henley… my first thought is to shop off the sleeves and either make it a raw hem sweater-vest style item over a button-up (Or even a sweater???) or sew on some sleeves in a similar fabric or faux leather?

[@rachelbrie175]

Why do I actually LOVE the Grumpy tiki shirt?

[@ragnhild2674]

The Grumpy Ti-ki shirt is really nice imo

[@RandomNoodles7774]

I liked the Grumpy shirt and the Jurassic Park shirt. I'm not a huge Mickey or Winnie the Pooh fan, but I'm a fan of yours so I had to see what you got. 😀 I would have been hoping for Alice in Wonderland.

[@lostinthemission]

How about you do mystery thrift boxes for us! I think it would be so fun!

[@kristinelager8905]

I would definitely love the grey Mickey tee & the grumpy tiki, & Mickey tie-dye. I would most definitely wear them for bed 😊& the tweety sweatshirt so hopefully if or when you post them to Poshmark I don’t miss out on them ❤️
