*pop noise, techno music*
Hi! Who could it be? Annika V!
That's me. I promise I'll never do that again...
Hey everyone! *sing songy voice* Iiiiii wanted to do, a little thrift haul, for you!
Why do I have to make everything into a rhyme today?
So! I have had some very very very good, thrift, finds, recently!
And I wanted to show them to all of you
These are from a couple of different places, over the past couple of *pause* months? of...
Goin to thrift shops, charity shops, second hand stores, and vintage stores...and then
my absolute favorite items
Let's start with accessories. My absolute favorite thing that I have ever thrifted,
ever, in the world, ever...
not only does it have a three-dimensional... like...
Silicone or something beak, Luci pointed out that it is indeed a BACKQUACK™ or a QUACKPACK™
whichever one you choose, it's an incredible pun.
"My name is Mary
McQuackpack, the backquack."
*Annika again* Unfortunately THE WORST THING HAPPENED!
The zip broke? It um? You know the zipper did that thing? Where it fell off the? um...
Zip? I don't know how to get it back on...?
How do you got a zipper back on a zip?
Do I have to replace the zipper entirely? If I do that's gonna be able to work...
But it is worth it to save Mary McQuackpack's LIFE.
The second accessory I found is this fanny pack/bum bag
Fanny means a different thing in the rest of the world than it does in America, you
weirdos...
I'm not good carrying weight on my shoulders
Um, from my illness. Especially this once, so I'm really happy that these kind of bags
are like, you know people don't look at you like it
*noises of uncertainty*
Some people recognize that they are a little bit trendy some people still laugh at me,
but yes!
What was I saying? It's so much easier than carrying things on your shoulders, well for
me.
It's so much easier to carry things on my waist I feel like a cool 80s mom wearing these.
So I must be just too enthusiastic with opening my...
backpacks, because I also thrifted, this,
amazing acid-washed denim backpack...
And I broke the zip. It did the exact same thing, the zip actually came completely off
this one.
Also. This was an awesome find.
I follow, Mihna? Meena? Mina Gilligan on instagram and apparently she made a book in 2015
It's pretty much all about thrift shopping and putting cool outfits together,
Features a bunch of her art and I think someone brought this back to a thrift shop,
because Mina, the author talks about how much she loves thrift shopping and loves finding
gems at shops
and
so I guess this was well loved and well read and then left at the thrift shop for me to
find.
And this brooch.
I don't think it's meant to be, but this is like the most amazing badge for a person with
a chronic illness... like
Ever?
Okay, that's it for the accessories onto the clothes!
Okay, so the first one, that I am very excited to tell you about, is right behind me here!
I just got this dress yesterday, and holy moly it is so cool!!! The dress is from the
70s....
and 100% polyester.
I don't normally go for polyester clothes. They usually make me way too hot and sweaty.
But I couldn't... I coooooo...I couldn't resist this...I couldn't
Look at the color, look at the piping, look at the drop look, LOOK AT IT!!!
Okay, more dresses. this pinafore that I got. It has frills. It even has pockets. POCKETS.
*noises of happiness* it's so cuuuute I love it I love it I love it
Another favorite is
This
Crochet orange dress. Because it's actually like made out of crocheted material was that
yarn wool.
it's actually quite thick, but it's also a short dress and also a bit see-through so
it's a little bit difficult to um...
Find the right situation to wear it in. I think it's more of an autumn dress, because
it's actually quite heavy.
But I'm so excited to start wearing it once summer is over here, in Australia.
This crushed-velvet...um...
[singing] Green babydoll dress is like my favorite thing, on earth!
I feel like Tinkerbell when I wear this. This is a... I don't know if you could see it in
the camera - It's a dress with a short,
maybe like a princess waist? The high up waist with a velvet top and cute flowy
chiffon bottom, it's the perfect party dress. Someone invite me to a party so I can wear
this baby. This dress that I got is the most fancy freaking
thing that I've ever owned and I got it for five dollars secondhand from
a market stall. It's got this cool, split leg action going on.
This is an incredible sheer, floral body contouring dress and it's stretchy,
and it looks really good with like a beige slip underneath, and again this was
$5 from a market stall. Go to flea markets people!
They're the greatest! Look at the print on this dress
It is so pretty, it is one of my favorite finds, but I just don't think it super suits
me I don't know
I just been kind of off wearing circle-y circle skirt dresses at the moment so I might be
taking this one back to another thrift store for someone to chance
upon and find and fall in love with because I think someone
could love this a lot more than I can. Now I'm probably gonna show you about a million
stripy t-shirts, so let's go. This is my favourite top find I think of this
whole. Rainbow colored stuff is something that I have been
really loving a lot lately, and this one is like a like a pink rainbow.
I mean, there's like there's four different shades of pink in there, and it's stripy and
it's got its contrasting hem It's the best! It goes with everything and
I love it. Yeah. This is a cute cute thing that I found
Mmm. Maybe like four months ago Yes a nice big
oversized tee so it's cute to tie up or leave down and tuck in and wear loose
with this awesome like Fresh Prince of Bel Air print.
This stripey crop top that I found reminds me of like vintage Barbie, and I found this
really unusual, that's super... I decided super cool,
T-shirt that looks like it has kind of like a vest leotard on it,
but it's really nice. And just the other day. I found this old super
hot pink Nike top, and I just really liked the colour.
This is a super cute little cropped top I actually think it has long sleeves at one
point because, unless this brand just like sucks,
the edges are all wonky and weird and raw and... eugh.
But you can't tell, and it's very very nice. It has a very cute flower or floral...
It has a very cute floral print. And this is one of my favourites
I got this yesterday from a vintage store. It's a German t-shirt from the 70s
umm, with stripy sleeves! So it's like a baseball playing turkey
on the front and it says in German ...no, I'm not...
I'm not gonna try and say that, but it means 'hit the drums', or when I put it through
Google Translate, 'today, let's hit the timpani!' But I asked
some german-speaking people what that means and apparently it means like, yeah go for
it! Let's go! Like someone told me, umm
that's something only your parents would probably say so it's like the equivalent in English
of being like yeah, groovy man! Which I just think is
so good. And and and! A little like attached googly eye
Yeah, I'm into real just silly s*** huh?
I got this super nice knitted singlet top, it's actually very lightweight
and like perfect for summer. It's so nice I've been wearing it like every day, so comfortable,
don't have to wear a bra! Ah, so good. In this cute strappy strap strappy
strap strappy top, but how does this work? I had it on the other day?
I swear I know how to... future Annika take it away with the figuring out of how it works!
And I also got this baby yesterday. It's very cute. It's very simple, but it just fit really
well and I like it I've also picked up quite a few sweaters recently
which is wholly inappropriate for living in Australia, and it being summer right now
But I'll be able to wear it in like six months. So it still has the price tag on it, this
one, this is a vintage Adidas sweater, With like embroidered on, stitched on lettering,
A sweater with a rainbow appliqued onto it. This was only $10
And yep, yep, I was just like yes please and it kind of reminds me of brands like Lazy
Oaf or Big Brud *makes mistake saying name of store* Brother Big Bud press.
But this, this is gonna be my favourite in winter. It's all like soft and fleecy inside
and everything. Okay, I got this light denim jacket for how
much? Was it $3?
No! Cheaper $2? Nope cheaper!
$1.50? Uh uh, even cheaper. $1? Yup! This was $1. $1!
Wah, it is so, so, so, so, so nice Again, haven't been able to wear it 'coz summer
- But it's gonna be like everyday on my body
when it's wintertime!
I love this swimsuit to pieces, but you're gonna laugh so much when you see it.
So the one real big drawback of this is that it's a swimsuit,
But it's not made for swimming so this thing on the shoulder makes it impossible to move,
it makes it impossible for me to move my arm, so while I love the ruffly one-shoulder
goodness, like, so much, I am considering using the fabric to turn it into a one-piece
instead because it's already got like built-in cups, like I'd only need to just copy that
side of the neckline over, maybe re-think the frills or put them elsewhere…
[singing] Pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants!
I got theeeese like loose-fitting pastel-pink couduroy pants in Japan, with an elasticated
waist band, and they are the comfiest thing that I have ever owned - actually no wait!
THESE are the comfiest pants I have ever owned! These are like - accordian pleats?
I don't know, what do you call that like, teensy tiny pleating on material?
Maybe it's something even smaller than an accordion?
They're just loose-fitting, like silky black pants, also with an elastic waistband for
MAXIMUM COMFORT! Some of my favourite pants that I've ever
found are these jeans that have bears on them! Not only is it super cute, but I can also
when I'm wearing them I can say, "bear butt! Bear butt! I have a bear butt!"
'Coz I'm 5 years old and that joke cracks me up everytime!
Shorts! Looking this cutie patootie pair of acid-washed
shorts that I've got From a very cool vintage shop in Japan. These
cute high-waisted shorts have this adorable paper-bag waist feature on them, and oh, I
love them so much! I think it can be difficult sometimes for
paper bag waists to look nice and not just like a bunch of like extra fabric all up in
there - but I think these one strike the balance really well. And the shorts that I'm wearing
today are a Ralph Lauren that I got for $5! Mmm, so fancy!
This is like, the cutest, bestest romper that I've ever found!
This romper is one of my favorite comfy faves. It's got a little floral print all across
it. What's this collar sleeve called? Princess Anne? Queen Anne? Some royal - something something
royal! So it looks really good when it's worn on its own, or with like a t-shirt underneath,
and it's really really really soooo comfortable. I think with my clothes, I've decided that
the more comfortable, the better lately!
Now this used to be one of my largest categories of things that I would look for thrift shops,
but now, ehh, I'm just not that into wearing skirts at the moment, but this long flowy
skirt is 100% silk, and it also has like this sunflower print all over it… it kind of
looks more like daisies 'coz it's like the coloring of daisies, but it's the shape of
sunflowers so - I don't know what it is. Don't yell at me in the comments cuz I got a flower
wrong! But it's got all these like extra bits of
like panels in the skirt to make it really really amazing and flowy and makes you want
to spin around all the time when you're wearing it.
Is that it? IS THAT IT?
No wait, that's not it. Hang on.
I've got some hats to show you, you think I'm gonna forget about the hats?
Hat number one…
[silence]
All the hats. And last section [drum roll imitation]
TOYS! This audio is probably, like, copyright protected so this video will get demonetized.
But I need to show you I got a Finn and a Jake and they talk. They talk.
[Toy Finn speaks]
Alright Finn.
[Toy Jake speaks]
They're being so rude to me! And that is my thrift haul from the last couple of months.
In the past when we went thrift shopping
I used to just kind of go through all the cheapest bins and find the cheapest clothes
and just get like,
A mountain of super, super cheap clothing, and usually not that well-made clothing and,
well, the reason
It's cheap, but more recently. I've been kind of... I've been kind of like that is still
a sort of a fast-fashion
Mentality to have towards fashion. Sure, I'm not buying the clothing new and it still supports
a charity, but I'm still going through the clothes
At such a rapid rate where I'm like "I need more all the time, and I'm not satisfied
By the things I have". I'm not even wearing some of the things that I have much, before
bringing them back to the thrift shop.
So lately have been picking, uhm,
fewer pieces, but that are just slightly better quality,
maybe just like a
slightly more expensive. Like, I used to scoff at things that were more than ten dollars
in thrift shops
But now if they are actually good quality, because some things can just be way too over
priced, but if they are good quality
I'm like hell-yeah, I'm gonna take this, I'm gonna love it for years and honestly
it's really made me feel a lot happier with my style, with my wardrobe. Yeah
I'm not saying one way is necessarily better than the other, but that's just, that's just
what I've been doing lately
So let me know
What is the most awesome thing that you have ever found on a thrifting exhibition [expedition]
all these items are awesome,
but they probably still can't beat the little purse. I have that is shaped like a house.
I had to go find it, so I could show you all. It's a purse
..And it's a house.
