Carrie's video • styling clothes i boug...
Today we are shopping my own closet and styling pieces I NEVER wear! I've been doing a lot of styling YOU videos and helping you with things in your closet you don't know how to wear so I figured it was time to do that with MY OWN CLOTHES! I have pieces that I thrifted months ago and have yet to touch, pieces from themed outfit videos, AND some pieces from the "trying trends I hate video" to try and create cute outfits so I WILL actually wear these pieces!! Honestly doing this video gave me SO MUCH inspiration and I think it's a great idea when you are thinking of decluttering a certain piece from your closet that you never wear, maybe try and style it and you may be surprised what cute outfit you create!

Ok but I actually liked the first outfit with the brown patchwork pants!!! it gave me sorta 70s vibes which i’m fully here for !!!!🕺

[@imaginearingwithme6544]

Came to the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one 😅

[@shirleysong4480]

Omg i actually really liked the brown on brown styling you called atrocious haha

[@masha_dot]

Same!

[@katinkadosztaly6150]

I liked that too

[@thriftqueen1621]

Samee

[@kelly.mariemartinez]

Same that was so cute !

[@Hackinawesomehailey]

I think it was the blazer that threw her off because without the blazer it wouldve flown really well

[@Lauren_aida]

I'll never get over the trauma of being in middle school during the low rise jeans era. No kid going through puberty should have to also worry about their underwear sticking out and their growing hips muffining over!

[@MiaMizuno]

Facts

[@IlkaWaffy]

same! i dont mind low rise being back in style though as long as high rise options dont suddenly vanish. that'd be a nightmare

[@livvvv8937]

The new low rise is better tho, it’s low rise but not as low as the 2000s. Bad memories.

[@lovelietejada]

I used to think about my socks, panties and bra all being visible throughout the day sitting down in different classes 😓

[@calebmoore1121]

The little denim dress is absolutely adorable! You definitely look like a doll in it. Also the wavey dress turned into a skirt is everything. Because you made it look edgy with the graphic tee and black! It was definitely a vibe!

[@CarrieDayton]

I GASPED at the first outfit!!! 100000/10! SO GOOD 🌷✨🌸

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭 thank you love!!!!! And thanks for the inspiration to do this 😉💕

[@calebmoore1121]

I completely agree! It was definitely a favorite of mine!❤✨💅🏼

[@jhayden-cm4yx]

Here’s a content idea: take us into your closet more (literally) and tell us your thought process. Show us the process of you picking out an outfit for one of these prompts, similar to what you did a couple times in this vid and also your styling subscribers outfits, but I’d love to see it within your own outfits too! This could be applied to a lot of things. Even closet organization, interesting different categories/collections (Winnie the Pooh, Disney, Harley D), or again your thought processes for any type of video. Or maybe a closet analytics video where you talk about common themes, colors you like the most, what type of style pops up the most etc. I love your outfit videos (and all your others) so I think your closet would be so interesting to peek inside of!

[@sarahb.6475]

I think that colorful skirt would look great with a bright pink top! And I think its fun to dig clothes out of your closet that you never wear - it can be like finding "new" clothes and then you have the fun of putting together new outfits!

[@aurorapavlish-carpenter3978]

I LOVED the first outfit with the patchwork pants, it looked so cool and chic. Also I think just pairing them with a green sweater would be super cute and make them more your style?

[@alexasunshine83]

Oooh! Yeah I could definitely see that!

[@Orangerose3447]

It’s fun to see you challenging yourself to try and style clothing you’re not sure about! The denim dress and floral skirt are definitely my favorites!

[@abrilbedoya9274]

I think "covering up" a piece is still styling it and a great way of using things, you can take advantage of the shape or the color to combine with other things

[@lindseyrem]

OMG the denim dress has to be my favorite!

[@jhayden-cm4yx]

You mentioned in this video that you wanted your outfit to be exciting and inspiring and not simple like pairing it with jeans, but I think there can be a place for that in your videos too! For example, most people probably don’t own a leather blazer. I love being inspired by your outfits but that does not make more “realistic” or “attainable” outfits any worse, i think it would actually help appeal to all sorts of people!

[@To0vA]

The first skirt would be amazing with the yellow sweater you were wearing 🌻 The second outfit is a nice date night outfit 👌🏻

[@dreahope_]

it was really cool to see how you styled all of these. it's clear for people that watch your videos a lot how most of these are very outside of your typical style but you made it work with your wardrobe! and you look amazing while doing so!

[@towse]

That floral skirt fits so seamlessly into your style

[@Soupisjustflavoredwater]

You are honestly such a breath of fresh air in terms of the fashion community 🤍

[@alexasunshine83]

😭 means so much omg

[@thesavingsorceress]

Honestly, this is my absolute favorite video of yours, Alexa! Your styling game was on fire today. You'd never guess that these items weren't your favorites. The majority of these looks were totally my style especially the space one and the adorable denim dress, so thank you so much for the inspiration!

[@kaypluslee]

This is what I do when I am indecisive about decluttering an item. I style it and wear it for a day to see how I feel and if I don't like it by the end of the day I will get rid of it.

[@juliekantorova9748]

Thats such a great idea! ✨🥺

[@sofapop653]

The jacket with the green slip was my absolute favorite outfit! The pants with the cut outs looked amazing on you as well!

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@observer4292]

I think the wavy dress would look super cute on you as a 2 piece, it’d give it a whole new life! That way, you have a matching top if you’re feeling up for it, or can still style the skirt alone with something cute like the Nascar tee! I adored that pairing, it made the pattern resemble flames to me! Also, you’re like the queen of denim & any sort of denim dress, skirt, overall, etc. on you is everything!!!

[@virginiakrueger4780]

That first skirt would be cute with the yellow sweater and big collared top you had on. It would give you an 80's princess Dianna vibe

[@carlottaspadano5759]

The first skirt would also be amazing for a really colorful outfit! A pink or yellow top would probably look superb with white sneakers or honestly a white graphic t-shirt that has one or two of the colors of the skirt! ☀️

[@liasmulevici4047]

I actually really liked the first pairing for the patchwork pants! Maybe the coat was a bit off but the rest went well with the colour pallet of the pants

[@editswithme3814]

I agree! Love patchwork jeans. If you style them right you're good to go!

[@phoebehoward8398]

Honestly I thought that swirly dress was a lost cause until I saw you style it! The black pieces tied in so well to the black accents in the dress!! Like I actually thought it looked cute after that!

[@kendra555]

me: ooh the brown outfit turned out cute!! alexa, immediately: ATROCIOUS🤢

[@alexasunshine83]

Hahaha I think the jacket is what threw me off like the pattern with the pants!! I think the sweater and boots worked with it though!

[@relitin]

I loooove the look with the cutout pants and the cropped t-shirt! It’s simple but it looks so cool and comfy! 😍😍 the look you did with the pants in the previous video was cool but it didn’t feel like something people outside Instagram would wear but this look is so good it made me consider buying a pair of that kind of pants 😂

[@chloecamille298]

Loveee how you styled the denim dress with the white turtleneck and boots!! Soo cute!

[@Dev-ld4gi]

This was such a fun video! I swear half my life is spent trying to style weird pieces in my closet using strange layering ideas😂 so this was so relatable!

[@tarynbooth460]

I was so surprised to see the first skirt, since when you bought it I thought it was one of the best things you’ve ever thrifted! I’m glad you figured out a way you like it more!

[@AmberCantrell]

Ok but the first skirt with the butter sweater peterpan collared combo you have on after you resize it!! And you should use a sheer pastel dress over the silver xenon dress 🌼

[@gerrilyn1070]

That first spring colored skirt is just stunning, and if I was you, I would make it work so I could wear it. The denim dress was my second favorite, very cute on you. I'm going to try this tactic in my own closet tomorrow for something fun to do, thanks for the ideas.

[@mandy833]

The floral skirt would look cute paired with a body suit and a cropped denim vest or denim jacket.

[@britt905]

So the silvery dress, I think I’d do it almost exactly how you did, but put a black sweater or crochet/mesh top OVER it to tone it down a bit and make it more wearable for the average day.

[@nicoolfielder]

the sheer dress over top the metallic one would be so cute!! would love to see that sometime

[@jessicaritter9904]

Try the cream turtleneck you wore under the denim dress, but put under the silver one, wear with large oversized denim jacket and white chunky boots!

[@jessicaritter9904]

Light purple tights if you want a pop of color 💜

[@oliviafagin293]

The pinafore outfit and the sweater dress outfit! >>>>>

[@viola3581]

The skirt screeeams SPRING 🌺🌸🌼

[@kitkata2459]

The first floral skirt I feel would look SOOO good with your plaid pattern tights, a white tank or crop top and your white heels

[@inthewanderyears]

The denim dress is sooo cute! Please wear it more!

[@lenouclt3416]

You should a tier list of trends like with the tier list maker :) love the idea of this video and love you ofc

[@alexasunshine83]

Ooooh that would be fun!!

[@stonks6936]

If you were to try low to mid rise jeans again I’d suggest getting a baggy pair instead of a tighter pair because it’ll be more comfortable and you won’t be hyper focused that its lower. Something like the Abercrombie 90s low rise baggy jeans would look so cute with a longer baby tee!!

[@maya-gur695]

That jacket is honestly my 70's loving soul's dream.

[@karinakiss1740]

You should put the yellow sweater you were wearing with the first floral skirt 💛 😍 also love your videos♥️

[@trishalenon6395]

Those patchwork pants look so fun! I liked the first outfit you put together with them! A very fun video! ❤️

[@halfkoreangirl]

I love the first outfit! The skirt is so cute! The sweater dress as a top is great! I think you should definitely crop it to make it into a proper top. :)

[@lj-hc8vw]

Being called a sunshiner is the best part of my day.

[@alexasunshine83]

🥲💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@ccw2613]

The swirly dress would be cute as a top with black mom jeans or blue jeans, a leather jacket like a shorter leather jacket and docks.

[@Googie_Macpherson]

I would wear the silver dress with a pair of pants over them so it looks like a bodysuit and then add a pastel cardigan or unbuttoned blouse over it

[@nalanaproudlock7272]

I love how realistic this video is! Super entertaining too:)

[@hannahlaubacker7686]

The floral skirt with the top combo in the intro is perfect

[@rebeccamiranda3335]

I tend to gravitate towards low rise jeans because it’s is easier to find them with flares baggy legs at the thrift store. I also absolutely hATE how the waist looks on my body but that’s why when I’m styling them I tend to gravitate towards oversized t shirts and hoodies and sweaters just like you did here. I only own about three pairs because the baggy leg is long enough to bunch at my feet where as it’s rare I find jeans that do that for my height. (I’m 5’9)

[@Jacargon]

The colourful skirt in the first outfit actually looks cute with the lilac sweater! Love the simplicity of pairing something louder with more subdued pieces though.

[@sharonfollmer8178]

For the outfit with the silver dress, maybe a plain black top underneath would work better? Also adding in more silver accessories can help so it ties the look together more.

[@ursulatopaz1492]

With those tie up side pants, personally I would do a sequin top or a dark/jewel tone crop top

[@nellel2554]

This inspires me to do this with my own closet. You did such a good job! Very inventive ways of styling

[@alexasunshine83]

Thank you 😭🥲❤️❤️

[@pollydowdlepolly]

Try the patchwork jeans with a black belt and black boots, a white tee and the blazer in the first outfit? That's how I'd wear them. You could also do cropped white graphic tee and white trainers.

[@theezzie]

I think the first outfit would also look really cute with a denim jacket. It would also help make it more casual too.

[@haileywasheree]

This is actually an effective way of clearing out your closet bc if u can’t find a way to style an item you probs shouldn’t have bought it lol

[@africandaughter3110]

I adore that first all brown patchwork outfit but I also like the second one. Honestly, those pants are amazing. I definitely see why you lole the second one.

[@magdaleneblair8032]

The brown and black outfit 👀👀 she cute!!!

[@DizzyLizziePop]

That silver dress would be cute at a top with leather pants . That denim dress is probably my favorite.

[@snax4evry1]

i actually really loved the yellow cardi with the vegetable pants!! dream fit. wish i had those pants

[@victoriab7148]

Fellow low rise hater here. I found one pair of jeans I loved in mom's wardrobe- light wash flare legs. However, I had no idea how to style them for the longest time because of the low rise. I finally came up with an idea and I love them now. I ended up pairing them with an untucked white button up and a corset top over it. The button up hides the low rise and with the corset it feels so me. And it's not a boring outfit either, which was my issue with my previous attempts. I'm so happy I figured out a way to love the jeans!

[@technigadgetspartners2241]

I liked the first pairing for the patchwork pants! Thank you for this wonderful vid. We are your number 1 supporters!

[@alexasunshine83]

Appreciate you omg 😭❤️

[@technigadgetspartners2241]

@@alexasunshine83 By the way, we like to support you more, We are just wondering if you guys want us to send you free sunglasses? I did send you some emails for detail. We hope you might like them.

[@kelseystone3]

I loved this video! I think you did a really good job trying to style these items… like wow! I’m super impressed and feeling inspired to try new things!

[@sandraxo8819]

Whenever I wear low rise jeans, I wear shirts that require undershirts, which I then tuck into my jeans. It gets rid of that flashing fear 😂

[@joannaboonen3552]

NGL when I saw your first patchwork pants outfit - It's exactly how I would have styled them and was my favourite! (then again, my style is 100% wear all of my favourite things at once regardless of if they match or not!)

[@lillyc1715]

u may not think it’s your color but honestly i think u would look so cute in brown!! like a tank or basic tee

[@katieyoung4765]

That floral skirt is soooo cute!!!

[@xenajontilano7749]

I think those pair of brown patchwork jeans would somehow look good with your strawberry cardigan 🍓 Haha I keep on noticing it behind you when you were trying those jeans..

[@alexasunshine83]

Oooooh okay okay I never thought of that!!!!

[@kimberlyclifford8406]

I have recently jumped on the I want high waisted jeans. I hate bending down or over and anyways I want to be comfy 24/7 not pulling up my pants that ride to low for me lol enough said. I love watching you thrift and I’m dying at the chance to try to find particular jeans that check all the boxes. So far I have yet to find them but I’m on the hunt for sure. 🙂 Love your vlogs!

[@ceciliadennison7123]

Omg I suggested this on your instagram, LOVE this video idea and your outfits 💗💗💗

[@alexasunshine83]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@prettyhamburger6462]

I love your styling! Wow! Especially that larger floral skirt with the black leather jacket and boots, it looks super interesting!😍😍

[@leopardshadow333]

If you make the bright long floral skirt into a drawstring waist instead of replacing the elastic it would last longer and always fit :) just a suggestion as it does change the look and fit at the waist and some people really prefer elastic for comfort.

[@darladonovan308]

Really like how you styled the brown/white jeans with the black. Very cool look!

[@kayleeschaefer5834]

i'm sure someone has said this but that floral skirt with that yellow sweater/collar combo would've worked so great!

[@jstan626]

really enjoyed this video! and im deffo with you on the mid rise jeans, they wear like a low rise but without showing my crack to the world 👌

[@kellylappin5944]

The floral skirt would be great with the sweater that you’re wearing!

[@ricehat9434]

I’m absolutely obsessed with your denim skirt, I’ve been searching for so long to find one in my size !!!

[@ambernettiejones3757]

The Jean jacket with the brown fur would look cute with the pat work brown pants

[@anaisaguilar8180]

The silver dress would look good as a top paired with high rise dress pants, chunky boots and leather jacket, maybe add a bunch of silver necklaces, accessories, etc

[@christinerewell9954]

Love the denim dress! You look great in low rise jeans. The problem for those of us who are larger is flabby tummies don't go with low rise jeans! 🙄

[@janinenguyen311]

I wonder if the first floral skirt could be a strapless dress if you pull it up and belt it? Could be cute and versatile 💕

[@S.J.Vanderwood]

11:39 This demin dress is one of the cutest things I've seen on you so far!

[@thatbooknerdoverthere7899]

I tend to pair my low rise skinnies with a blazer with 1-2 buttons, then a belt with an interesting detail, a fitted top underneath tucked in and that's the outfit. The jacket has to be on the shorter side, maybe hipbones or slightly lower lenght, and fitted. This outfit is the only one I like with low rise 😂😂

[@imaginearingwithme6544]

I think you should try a red or purple toned look with the patchwork pants, because the deeper/warm brown reads sort of reddish on camera. I think it would be helpful for you to try to step out of the “brown toned” mindset you got a little stuck in. (I get stuck in the same way all the time) Maybe don’t think “brown tones,” think “Earth tones” and remember just how many colors the Earth actually is.

[@Kimberly.sa.95]

13:00 great idea 👍👍👍👍👍. You can cut and use the grey dress like top.

[@jenniferrr36547]

The brown pants in a little different colors that you tried to style. Take a pair of white nike and a white top that is v-necked but lots of gold jewelry and a leather jacket or something! Maby!❤

[@stefflynn7857]

Wish you would have a clip with layering pieces on top of the silver dress, would love to see what you would have come up with. [:

[@katierapp993]

I love the first outfit you picked for the brown pants. I LOVED that it was so cute

[@anj5253]

what you did with the patchwork pants is So cool & chic wow I was not expecting that!! i definitely look at that pair of pants and see Y2K like u said, and i also liked the brown on brown though maybe without the blazer (or a different blazer) but then seeing it with the off-the shoulder black top like that made it hit completely different !! that's my fav one c': for the low-rise jeans, maybe you can try them with a bodysuit of some sort, so you still feel like you're covered + then you can layer on top of that as you see fit to play with silhouettes etc.

[@farahalaa3319]

maybe try that cute polka-dotted shear blouse on top of the silver dress rather than under it. it might tone down the metallic situation

[@lorenamata1208]

That denim dress💖✨ looks amazing! So good for layering

[@emmy8526]

This video is an argument in favour of even non-YTers filming themselves trying stuff on. Look how happy and animated you look in the denim mini dress versus the clingfilm white one! Such a 'tell' of whether we’re gonna reach for something to actually wear it in the future. Also a good help with the low rise jean thing could be a bodysuit! Though might not be super comfy either.

[@leopardshadow333]

Just make sure it's a full coverage bottom bodysuit, of course, bc otherwise you risk the "my shirt-thong is accidentally hanging out my pants" look.

[@DominiqueRamseyArt]

5:33 I love how yo styled this!! it looks good on you

[@kierstenmccall8526]

I actually freaking love both outfits you created with the brown patchwork pants 😍😍😍😂😂

[@nadia-kor]

I think if you modified the wavy green dress into a separate crop top and a mid rise skirt it'd be suuuuper cute.

[@cathartickat]

Two things with low-rise jeans 1. Embrace the whale tail 2. Baby Ts that just barely graze the hem of the jeans and then a zip up or cardigan. No quite a solution of confidence but it helps

[@karlieneporter4939]

Silver slip dress over a pair of flare jeans and a long crochet cardigan

[@heididepotter8136]

I love the cool tough styling of the first skirt. Love rock sweet combo
