Thrifting Black Barbie's Style | Sustainable Fabulousness

I'm back with a brand new video for all you thrifting enthusiasts and sustainable living advocates out there.
Today, I'm taking on the challenge of recreating iconic looks inspired by the legendary Black Barbie dolls. If you're a Barbie fan like me, you'll know that Black Barbie made her debut in the '80s, breaking boundaries with her natural curly hair and unique style. We're on a mission to capture the essence of these iconic dolls while embracing ethical fashion and secondhand shopping.
So, whether you're a Barbie aficionado or just curious about sustainable and ethical fashion, join me on this thrifting journey as we recreate the magic of Black Barbie. Let's keep the conversation going in the comments below and share your thoughts on our thrifted transformations.

I love the bonus Barbie looks!

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Thank you!!! I’m glad you liked them!

[@samanthabartlett4562]

That first look was so perfect! And the pink sporty skirt is such a good find 💖

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Thank you!!!

[@justjudylemon]

This is so fun! I loved the throwback to different black Barbies! Also, your audio sounds amazing!

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Thank you!!!!

I think all your outfits turned out really well. The first Barbie you copied was perfect. I am so glad you thrifted and piked items you liked. Lots of people do these challenges by spending lots of money on any online store and never wear those pieces again because they didn’t actually like the style. Way better to enjoy your purchases and get as close as you can. 🎉 😇

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Thank you!!!! It’s definitely fun doing challenges with pieces that I feel fit my personal style!!!

Nice haul all the oufits are very nice and cute especially the red dress my favourite then the skirts I Love wearing dresses and skirts i Love thrifting so many great bargains to be found never knowing what you will find

[@ItsTylerChanel]

It’s like a treasure hunt!!! Thanks for watching!

[@erin1534]

The first Barbie look was so beautiful 😍 Spot on! I loved it. All of these were very cute. I really liked your first bonus look too-- that's a perfect Barbie top. I wonder if the body suit would look good with the orange shorts? Also I liked that the shorts had a scalloped edge. I think that added a fun detail that felt Barbie to me (how perfect) 😆

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Ooo I’ll try the top with the orange shorts! I didn’t even think to try that. Thanks for watching and for the suggestion

Oh yes... "Black Barbie" aka Barbie's first black friend "Christie" doll est. in 1968. I LOVE the idea.

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Yes!!! Shout out to Christie!! I wish I would’ve had time to recreate her iconic look as well!!!

[@lkofie6670]

I think for all the items to be thrifted you have done a great job recreating the looks. After all, the looks are inspired by these dolls so it doesn't have to be the exact look unless you actually decide to get custom-made clothes in the image of those dolls, lol.

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Thank you so much!

[@spaghettifieddude]

I feel like some of the outfits could have really use a belt to tie it all together. But, otherwise, the colours were a vibe!

[@ItsTylerChanel]

Ooo I agree!! A belt really would’ve tied the looks together! I didn’t even think to add a belt!!
