[@poop-eu5fo]

i agree that it is crunchy colorado girl

[@BittersweetMayhem]

I always find it so interesting when you hang out with Jen because she is just so blunt and chill while you are so hyper haha

[@mikanmandarin]

Lol she's like my bestie rn!! We r sooo Nana and Hachi coded

[@liananatividad4107]

Girl. Jen NAILED it. Crunchy, van life, Colorado core is a whole aesthetic. Can confirm.

[@milkycloudsandmerrygoround4579]

Can confirm this is crunchy Colorado wear, so think of it like... almond mom meets homeless man meets those pastel aesthetic vans and boom Colorado core

[@mikanmandarin]

AHAHHAA so specific 😭💖

[@xiaragonzalez2022]

The pink star sweater is from Gravity falls 😭🫶🏽🩷

[@lineapinea]

i was looking for this comment hehe.. was gonna comment it myself otherwise lol 😅

[@co_co_chantal]

The "staining" on the seafoam sweater actually looks like what happens when you burn acrylic yarn ( source: I knit and burning is one method you can use to identify a mystery yarn lol)... so you couldn't even wash that out! Definitely not a good thrift buy at such a high price 🙅‍♀ That cat sweater was a SUPERIOR choice!

[@mikanmandarin]

Omg ok I regretted it but now I’m pleased with my decision lmaooo

[@Devki24]

Sorry second comment - You said “I agree with that statement” when you saw a purple sweatshirt with red hats that said “When I grow old”. The Red Hat society was originally a social movement for women over 50 in the US. My grandmother was in it. Everyone wears a red hat when they get together.

[@valv93]

Loved the sweaters! The cat one was an obvious must buy. Sea foam one was so cute but a bit over priced so good call on leaving it behind. In pink we trust 💕

[@dreamercely]

Omg your hair looks amazing!!!! The thrifting in Japan is so colorful. What you purchased was really cute. ☺️

[@SkogenWhisper]

SHE'S RIGHT, IT IS TOTALLY VAN LIFE CRUNCHY CORE! I have never heard that term before but i know for a fact its spot on

[@manicantsettleonausername6789]

Definitely agree on the crunchy colorado core. I think you made the right choice not getting the seafoam green/blue swirly sweater btw! I'd love to go thriftshopping in Tokyo but I'm scared they wouldn't have my size anywhere. I hear it's already hard to find what would be considered 'regular sizes' in Europe in Japan even in chain stores.

[@Thefashiongoddessnyc]

Not true..I’m a us size 16 with a big bust and booty and I was able to buy from listen flavor (RIP) Sexpot Revenge (RIP) Liz Lisa, Drug Honey (RIP), Galaxxxy (RIP) and AC/DC Rag when I visited Tokyo in 2018

[@balles945]

Love you guys! Y’all remind me of anime NANA. You are pink/girly nana and she is Black/Rock Nana Vibes ❤🫰🏽

[@gerdalapyte582]

Note to Mikan/Editor-san - please if you could use more contrasting colours for the subtitles. The light pink for subtitles/light neon green for prices around the white text looks cute but makes all the words/numbers blend together and impossible to read if you're watching the video on your phone or with lower quality settings.

[@pinkynomercy]

omg colorado core van life crunchy is so on point LOL. amazing vid, thanks for the awesome vibes!

[@Ocahrina]

Omgg I think this was the same day I bumped into dog walking guy, same outfit and everything! I just left Japan today and I wish I checked out these thrift shops, I will have to when I come back next year. The pink cat sweater is to die for 😇💞

[@Thefashiongoddessnyc]

Love ur style..please we need more look books! By the way I adore your natural curly hair with the pink! Can’t wait to see it with this new cute shade!

[@mikanmandarin]

I need to make more fashion content for sure!! ❤❤

[@isaackent2355]

Good thrift haul, I was of the thinking that everything looks good on you, but then I realized it's you that looks good in everything 💞

[@kkuudandere]

asthma girlies unite!🤩 sometimes in life you just gotta be dance dancing. but not TOO hard, because of the asthma

[@mikanmandarin]

Too real 💔💔💔

[@PentragonCosplay]

Sakura hairstyle, it suits you so much 👌 this colour is just perfect for you

[@caram397]

I’m so excited for the black skirt to be available from your brand ! 🖤

[@TayJin]

I really loved that "dance dancing" shirt it was soooo cute

[@UndeadBex]

Ahh I need that Seventeen coded, crunchy, Colorado sweater immediately

[@isaackent2355]

Hair looks amazing! Luscious locks of loveliness 🙏

[@Ciaoies]

I really need the dancedancing sweater, but your picks are also adorable

[@mysoupfriend]

wait the dance dancing jumper is so cute?!!

[@mikanmandarin]

Wait now I regret not getting it AHAHA cause it actually is so cute

[@ninjutsukil2794]

Might be a question for a future Q&A: The teared and dirty clothing in the thrift stores, could you get it at a discounted price? Does that work in Japan? I don't think they are beyond repair😍

[@Pomello_]

That pink cardigan suits ur hair sooo well, definitely a good choice! 💘💘

[@babydiz970]

As someone who was born and raised in Colorado.... Yes. That sweatshirt was VERY crunchy/van-life hahahaha

[@aracelisms]

She’s the hyper one Jen the Asian Wednesday Adam 😂 she’s hilarious

[@dottieland7061]

I agree I work in harajuku and the prices are ridiculous. I went to Osaka recently and what picked up for under a 1000 yen was amazing. I get so annoyed by the Tokyo prices sometimes. So I look for the mom and pop shops.

[@isaackent2355]

Dude, great timing, I log in, and you post 1 second later. 🤩

[@ketsuban]

Ah I gotta go thrifting on my next trip! Cute finds ✨

[@keitasiam9328]

girl more thrifting videos i love seeing it!!!

[@lucas10armond]

OMG! Love you Hayley Williams from Paramore

[@Devki24]

As an ex-Coloradan, that is peak “I’m seeing a show at red rocks” Colorado girl core.

[@indiemagic1473]

love you Vina

[@indrejalam]

OMG UR HAIR IS SO CUTE MIKANN FROM THE SIDE IT'S GIVING MYSTERIOUS GIRL also that cat sweater is so cutie what a steal SLAYING AS ALWAYS GIRL!!

[@Blublubies]

7:20 I need to sink into that wall Also that pastel seafoam green sweater looked sooo cute with ur pink hair 💖🐁 very 2013 tumblr pastel goth

[@mikanmandarin]

Yeah maybe I should have bought it and just washed it LOL kinda regret that

[@Blublubies]

@@mikanmandarinmanifesting you a plentiful harvest of pastel seafoam sweaters on ur future thrifting side quests 🙏✨

[@zahra9890]

the cat sweater is the cutest thing ever

[@kimxxx58]

I loved the sweater with flowers even though it was ripped 😅❤

[@Ndisalive]

Omg i would fix some of the knit sweaters if i saw the ripped ones ❤😂

[@menorca1403]

i can’t wait to go to japan and try out all the thrifting places!! the clothes are all so adorable 😍💞

[@PiscesCottage-dx1xj]

I’m living for mikan’s thrifting video

[@littledeore]

very crunchy Colorado 💯

[@fate9432]

I’m late but I just wanted to say I love your content!! I’m happy you posted, it makes my day!❤

[@sonicleaves]

This reminds me of a super cute teddy bear ugly sweater I found thrifting. The teddys are making jam and storing it in an adorable cottage with cute cabinets. Ha, I love it and I never wear it.

[@hans_cosy_corner]

Jen absolutely nailed it hahahah

[@magicmyth2635]

oh a new thrifting video, loved it.😍 Hey Mikan, do you want to make a "how to" video in the future, about how to find, thrift and style cute outfits like you do? 🤔🥰

[@Nipahnan]

Im so torn on the editing in this video. The editing is super good by itself and I love the audio balancing etc. 👌🏻 but the little emoji fellas with the sound effects are way too much and get kinda annoying after a bit 😭

[@Karryhime]

agree!

[@crumpet827]

Nooo i love it so cute and funny

[@mathildataylor7108]

Yesss Jenn is right very crunchy Colorado core 💖✨

[@strabwerry_jam]

ah you found such cute things ^o^ i love the cat sweater

[@Dani-ld5zq]

I think the green sweater was pretty and it matches those green sandals you have, but, it had some stains and i think it was better to pass it

[@rohnleidigh213]

Yes! Crunchy! I thought I was the only one that used that term. Ha

[@rainbowXpersonality]

Have you been to "Little Trip to Heaven" in Koenji? I unfortunately only saw it right before I had to leave for my flight, but it seems super your vibe (and I would love to live vicariously through you with a video thrifting there)

[@thinangeldiary]

Love ur videos so much love when u upload

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Ok so the crunchy colorado girl thing is not wrong. Those are mexican hoodies made with wool. It’s a traditional design. I’ve seen them in this style before. But usuallt its a full hoodie with a large kangaroo style pocket. They’ve been knick named Drug Rugs which I forget why that is honestly. I own one but I do not wear it. It was gift. I can post it to twitter sometime tho. They’re meant to stay warm in the cold. They’re very warm but its a little thick and stiff for my liking. The fabric can be a little rough at times for me as well. I can maybe throw on a long sleeve underneath however and start wearing mine tho. My aunt gave it to me. I think my aunt bought it in Mexico or something? I forget honestly. It’s kinda mexico core but also its very “I AM WHYTE N DO WEED EVERYDAY AND I AM SOULFUL N DEEP” Its an interesting thing that a traditonal wear has become. It reminds me of an old video of yours where there was a traditional mexican dress ag a thrift store. It was bright blue and had beautiful embroidery. If you came over to my house mu family would love to dress you in some traditional clothes. Also I feel on not buying too many things. I was mindlessly online window shopping and I didnt like anything enough except one item that I must have or I shall perish. Ofc its another cardigan. It has STRAWBERRIES ON IT. So I shall see if I am able to acquire it.

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

Also that Steven Universe shirt is actually from Gravity Falls and work by the ICONIC MABEL PINES. It’s such a cute show. Adore Mabel. She’s a cutie. Her sweater thing is similar to my sweater thing. I have so many. It’s a problem

[@HoneyKree]

Omg! I’ve been looking for some cute bear 🧸sweaters like the ones you showed at Kinji ❤ Now I know where I need to go! ✨

[@mirasdiary]

me: omg i like your pink hair with your roots :3 you after you get your roots done: me: nvm i LOVE it with the roots done omg

[@zombie2589]

I knew the last thrift shop looked familiar.. it was my fav when I visited Tokyo! And yea, the staircase was always sooo hard to find whenever I’d try to go back 😭

[@abdullahbaguffah4898]

All the best to you

[@kuroejanairemi]

I personally wouldve LOVED the yellow, i think its a lovely yellow+ the deep V and the buttons are actually so cute!!! But i kind of understand why you wouldn't have wanted it hehe

[@kayleejorose]

As a colorado girl i couldn’t agree more

[@mujitsukyo]

I got the best sunglasses at Flamingo in shimokitazawa and then I lost them like a month later when I came back to canada and it's forever haunting me. lol

[@novellalongo808]

Love your hair ❤

[@v_zrvv]

5:08 Mikan you look so cuteeee 🫶🏼😭

[@Pika6ana]

I agree with Jen❤

[@JadeMoonblood]

1000% crunchy Colorado van life girl aesthetic very much accurate loooll ☝️😂

[@user-td2nr4ni3]

☺️Very Good Video And All the clothes are nice and cute👚👍👍👍👍👍👍👌 All of them seemed perfect for you 👍

[@rayna463]

Love your videos 💕💕 my goal of 2024 is to go to Tokyo

[@LunaMail]

The pink Gunne Sax dress on the right at 5:58 😍 (*´∀｀*) It's stunning!

[@sonicleaves]

Oh and are you wearing bloomers or shorts in this video? Layered over tights? Just curious so I can try how you layer things. I'm not very good at it. Thanks!

[@laxmigurung8194]

Wow❤its amazing please could you share me that shop location please❤

[@underscore1973]

i agree with jen

[@ValentinaSanchez-hm7zi]

Hey mikan, just as advice, tell your editor tu cut the sound effects x)

[@100akerwoods]

😂yes crunchy Colorado girl or crunchy California girl . Both girls are best friends

[@Kazuya442]

U should have bought the yellow cardigan

[@ariella_jpg]

It’s Cawaii Crucky Colorado Girl (Miss spellings on point)

[@annablue2799]

I think the long skirt would look good on you. (Whith white and brown like your outfit)

[@dreamer6943]

I wish I had your self restraint, I'd have bought half the store

[@xradiohazard]

Is thrifting for visual kei/goth fashion easy in Japan? Which spots should I visit for those styles?

[@dulcedeleche3100]

I'm pretty sure Closet Child has a section for gothic and punk clothes. They're mostly known for selling secondhand Lolita, but I'm pretty sure in a video I've seen, someone said that they have an entire area for darker clothes.

[@xradiohazard]

@@dulcedeleche3100 Good to know, thank you! I'll try to look for others as well

[@maryphlie]

Your nose is so cute omagod

[@usagitsukihiro]

OMG, YOU HAIR OS SOOOOOOOOOOOO,SO,SO,SO,SO,SO,SO,SOOOOOO CUUUUTEEEEEE!!!! 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@roberta9950]

Crunchy Colorado granola hippie girl yes

[@Silly1336]

Nah you made the right choice leaving that sea foam piece behind. Then again I just don’t like those types of swirly 3D patterns on stuff. 😅Yellow was cute too but you’re in your pink era so it makes more sense to go for more pink anyways. Also love your videos ! You and Jen are so funny together

[@shrimp_queen]

Very cozy video, it made me feel like I was shoping together with you guys (:

[@Youwishyouknewwhohuh_]

Jen was correct

[@Milomilomilomilomilomiloo]

It’s very crunchy but also kinda stoner core

[@bunny.ribbit]

what is the name of the last thrift store?

[@raquelle07]

You look so similar to ariana grande in the thumbnail!!

[@owoman]

Wow your nose became beautiful. I wish i could go to Korean plastic surgery. My first nosejob was in europe but i am not satisfied with my nose.

[@lizzie7929]
