*pop noise, techno music*

0:00:06.090,0:00:09.990
Hi! Who could it be? Annika V!

0:00:09.990,0:00:13.340
That's me. I promise I'll never do that again...

0:00:13.340,0:00:18.300
Hey everyone! *sing songy voice* Iiiiii wanted[br]to do, a little thrift haul, for you!

0:00:18.300,0:00:20.840
Why do I have to make everything into a rhyme[br]today?

0:00:20.840,0:00:24.940
So! I have had some very very very good, thrift,[br]finds, recently!

0:00:24.940,0:00:27.600
And I wanted to show them to all of you

0:00:27.600,0:00:33.030
These are from a couple of different places,[br]over the past couple of *pause* months? of...

0:00:33.030,0:00:37.360
Goin to thrift shops, charity shops, second[br]hand stores, and vintage stores...and then

0:00:37.360,0:00:38.800
my absolute favorite items

0:00:38.800,0:00:43.700
Let's start with accessories. My absolute[br]favorite thing that I have ever thrifted,

0:00:43.700,0:00:45.220
ever, in the world, ever...

0:00:45.220,0:00:49.010
not only does it have a three-dimensional...[br]like...

0:00:49.010,0:00:56.110
Silicone or something beak, Luci pointed out[br]that it is indeed a BACKQUACK™ or a QUACKPACK™

0:00:56.110,0:00:57.737
whichever one you choose, it's an incredible pun.

0:00:57.737,0:00:59.399
"My name is Mary

0:00:59.399,0:01:01.430
McQuackpack, the backquack."

0:01:01.430,0:01:05.030
*Annika again* Unfortunately THE WORST THING[br]HAPPENED!

0:01:05.030,0:01:11.310
The zip broke? It um? You know the zipper[br]did that thing? Where it fell off the? um...

0:01:11.310,0:01:13.299
Zip? I don't know how to get it back on...?

0:01:13.299,0:01:14.990
How do you got a zipper back on a zip?

0:01:14.990,0:01:18.529
Do I have to replace the zipper entirely?[br]If I do that's gonna be able to work...

0:01:18.529,0:01:21.499
But it is worth it to save Mary McQuackpack's[br]LIFE.

0:01:21.499,0:01:27.389
The second accessory I found is this fanny[br]pack/bum bag

0:01:27.389,0:01:31.980
Fanny means a different thing in the rest[br]of the world than it does in America, you

0:01:31.980,0:01:32.980
weirdos...

0:01:32.980,0:01:34.899
I'm not good carrying weight on my shoulders

0:01:34.899,0:01:40.729
Um, from my illness. Especially this once,[br]so I'm really happy that these kind of bags

0:01:40.729,0:01:43.149
are like, you know people don't look at you[br]like it

0:01:43.149,0:01:44.560
*noises of uncertainty*

0:01:44.560,0:01:50.479
Some people recognize that they are a little[br]bit trendy some people still laugh at me,

0:01:50.479,0:01:51.479
but yes!

0:01:51.479,0:01:53.950
What was I saying? It's so much easier than[br]carrying things on your shoulders, well for

0:01:53.950,0:01:54.950
me.

0:01:54.950,0:01:59.189
It's so much easier to carry things on my[br]waist I feel like a cool 80s mom wearing these.

0:01:59.189,0:02:03.809
So I must be just too enthusiastic with opening[br]my...

0:02:03.809,0:02:07.169
backpacks, because I also thrifted, this,

0:02:07.169,0:02:10.619
amazing acid-washed denim backpack...

0:02:10.619,0:02:14.549
And I broke the zip. It did the exact same[br]thing, the zip actually came completely off

0:02:14.549,0:02:15.549
this one.

0:02:15.549,0:02:17.390
Also. This was an awesome find.

0:02:17.390,0:02:24.379
I follow, Mihna? Meena? Mina Gilligan on instagram[br]and apparently she made a book in 2015

0:02:24.379,0:02:28.599
It's pretty much all about thrift shopping[br]and putting cool outfits together,

0:02:28.599,0:02:33.110
Features a bunch of her art and I think someone[br]brought this back to a thrift shop,

0:02:33.110,0:02:37.810
because Mina, the author talks about how much[br]she loves thrift shopping and loves finding

0:02:37.810,0:02:38.849
gems at shops

0:02:38.849,0:02:39.849
and

0:02:39.849,0:02:44.900
so I guess this was well loved and well read[br]and then left at the thrift shop for me to

0:02:44.900,0:02:45.900
find.

0:02:45.900,0:02:46.900
And this brooch.

0:02:46.900,0:02:51.060
I don't think it's meant to be, but this is[br]like the most amazing badge for a person with

0:02:51.060,0:02:52.560
a chronic illness... like

0:02:52.560,0:02:53.560
Ever?

0:02:53.560,0:02:55.799
Okay, that's it for the accessories onto the[br]clothes!

0:02:55.799,0:03:01.440
Okay, so the first one, that I am very excited[br]to tell you about, is right behind me here!

0:03:01.440,0:03:06.959
I just got this dress yesterday, and holy[br]moly it is so cool!!! The dress is from the

0:03:06.959,0:03:07.959
70s....

0:03:07.959,0:03:09.219
and 100% polyester.

0:03:09.219,0:03:13.969
I don't normally go for polyester clothes.[br]They usually make me way too hot and sweaty.

0:03:13.969,0:03:17.359
But I couldn't... I coooooo...I couldn't resist[br]this...I couldn't

0:03:17.359,0:03:22.330
Look at the color, look at the piping, look[br]at the drop look, LOOK AT IT!!!

0:03:22.330,0:03:25.090
Okay, more dresses. this pinafore that I got.[br]It has frills. It even has pockets. POCKETS.

0:03:25.090,0:03:31.420
*noises of happiness* it's so cuuuute I love[br]it I love it I love it

0:03:31.420,0:03:33.749
Another favorite is

0:03:33.749,0:03:34.749
This

0:03:34.749,0:03:39.379
Crochet orange dress. Because it's actually[br]like made out of crocheted material was that

0:03:39.379,0:03:40.379
yarn[br]wool.

0:03:40.379,0:03:44.670
it's actually quite thick, but it's also a[br]short dress and also a bit see-through so

0:03:44.670,0:03:46.969
it's a little bit difficult to um...

0:03:46.969,0:03:50.769
Find the right situation to wear it in. I[br]think it's more of an autumn dress, because

0:03:50.769,0:03:51.970
it's actually quite heavy.

0:03:51.970,0:03:56.659
But I'm so excited to start wearing it once[br]summer is over here, in Australia.

0:03:56.659,0:03:58.160
This crushed-velvet...um...

0:03:58.160,0:04:04.569
[singing] Green babydoll dress is like my[br]favorite thing, on earth!

0:04:04.569,0:04:09.730
I feel like Tinkerbell when I wear this. This[br]is a... I don't know if you could see it in

0:04:09.730,0:04:13.040
the camera -[br]It's a dress with a short,

0:04:13.040,0:04:19.370
maybe like a princess waist? The high up waist[br]with a velvet top and cute flowy

0:04:19.370,0:04:24.889
chiffon bottom, it's the perfect party dress.[br]Someone invite me to a party so I can wear

0:04:24.889,0:04:29.300
this baby.[br]This dress that I got is the most fancy freaking

0:04:29.300,0:04:32.860
thing that I've ever owned[br]and I got it for five dollars secondhand from

0:04:32.860,0:04:37.280
a market stall. It's got this cool, split[br]leg action going on.

0:04:37.280,0:04:44.150
This is an incredible sheer,[br]floral body contouring dress and it's stretchy,

0:04:44.150,0:04:48.750
and it looks really good with like a beige[br]slip underneath, and again this was

0:04:48.750,0:04:51.720
$5 from a market stall. Go to flea markets[br]people!

0:04:51.720,0:04:55.050
They're the greatest![br]Look at the print on this dress

0:04:55.050,0:05:00.460
It is so pretty, it is one of my favorite[br]finds, but I just don't think it super suits

0:05:00.460,0:05:01.460
me[br]I don't know

0:05:01.460,0:05:06.800
I just been kind of off wearing circle-y circle[br]skirt dresses at the moment so I might be

0:05:06.800,0:05:11.580
taking this one back[br]to another thrift store for someone to chance

0:05:11.580,0:05:15.530
upon and find and fall in love with because[br]I think someone

0:05:15.530,0:05:19.669
could love this a lot more than I can.[br]Now I'm probably gonna show you about a million

0:05:19.669,0:05:27.270
stripy t-shirts, so let's go.[br]This is my favourite top find I think of this

0:05:27.270,0:05:30.569
whole. Rainbow colored stuff is something[br]that I have been

0:05:30.569,0:05:34.410
really loving a lot lately, and this one is[br]like a like a pink rainbow.

0:05:34.410,0:05:38.260
I mean, there's like there's four different[br]shades of pink in there, and it's stripy and

0:05:38.260,0:05:43.009
it's got its contrasting hem[br]It's the best! It goes with everything and

0:05:43.009,0:05:48.220
I love it. Yeah. This is a cute cute thing[br]that I found

0:05:48.220,0:05:51.900
Mmm. Maybe like four months ago[br]Yes a nice big

0:05:51.900,0:05:56.410
oversized tee so it's cute to tie up or leave[br]down and tuck in and wear loose

0:05:56.410,0:05:59.960
with this awesome like Fresh Prince of Bel[br]Air print.

0:05:59.960,0:06:04.510
This stripey crop top that I found reminds[br]me of like vintage Barbie, and I found this

0:06:04.510,0:06:09.280
really unusual,[br]that's super... I decided super cool,

0:06:09.280,0:06:13.440
T-shirt that looks like it has kind of like[br]a vest leotard on it,

0:06:13.440,0:06:16.870
but it's really nice.[br]And just the other day. I found this old super

0:06:16.870,0:06:21.349
hot pink[br]Nike top, and I just really liked the colour.

0:06:21.349,0:06:26.509
This is a super cute little cropped top[br]I actually think it has long sleeves at one

0:06:26.509,0:06:30.000
point because, unless this brand just like[br]sucks,

0:06:30.000,0:06:34.530
the edges are all wonky and weird and raw[br]and... eugh.

0:06:34.530,0:06:40.139
But you can't tell, and it's very very nice.[br]It has a very cute flower or floral...

0:06:40.139,0:06:44.940
It has a very cute floral print.[br]And this is one of my favourites

0:06:44.940,0:06:50.860
I got this yesterday from a vintage store.[br]It's a German t-shirt from the 70s

0:06:50.860,0:06:56.700
umm, with stripy[br]sleeves! So it's like a baseball playing turkey

0:06:56.700,0:07:00.379
on the front and it says in German[br]...no, I'm not...

0:07:00.379,0:07:05.520
I'm not gonna try and say that, but it means[br]'hit the drums', or when I put it through

0:07:05.520,0:07:07.880
Google Translate,[br]'today, let's hit the timpani!' But I asked

0:07:07.880,0:07:12.139
some german-speaking people what that means[br]and apparently it means like, yeah go for

0:07:12.139,0:07:14.680
it![br]Let's go! Like someone told me, umm

0:07:14.680,0:07:18.560
that's something only your parents would probably[br]say so it's like the equivalent in English

0:07:18.560,0:07:22.810
of being like yeah,[br]groovy man! Which I just think is

0:07:22.810,0:07:28.940
so good. And and and! A little like attached[br]googly eye

0:07:28.940,0:07:32.180
Yeah, I'm into real[br]just silly s*** huh?

0:07:32.180,0:07:37.980
I got this super nice knitted[br]singlet top, it's actually very lightweight

0:07:37.980,0:07:42.509
and like perfect for summer. It's so nice[br]I've been wearing it like every day, so comfortable,

0:07:42.509,0:07:46.689
don't have to wear a bra![br]Ah, so good. In this cute strappy strap strappy

0:07:46.689,0:07:50.340
strap strappy top, but how does this work?[br]I had it on the other day?

0:07:50.340,0:07:54.439
I swear I know how to... future Annika take[br]it away with the figuring out of how it works!

0:07:54.439,0:07:59.789
And I also got this baby yesterday. It's very[br]cute. It's very simple, but it just fit really

0:07:59.789,0:08:03.530
well and I like it[br]I've also picked up quite a few sweaters recently

0:08:03.530,0:08:07.610
which is wholly inappropriate for living in[br]Australia, and it being summer right now

0:08:07.610,0:08:11.740
But I'll be able to wear it in like six months.[br]So it still has the price tag on it, this

0:08:11.740,0:08:19.120
one, this is a vintage Adidas sweater,[br]With like embroidered on, stitched on lettering,

0:08:19.120,0:08:23.370
A sweater with a rainbow appliqued onto it.[br]This was only $10

0:08:23.370,0:08:28.659
And yep, yep, I was just like yes please[br]and it kind of reminds me of brands like Lazy

0:08:28.659,0:08:31.819
Oaf or Big Brud *makes mistake saying name[br]of store* Brother Big Bud press.

0:08:31.819,0:08:37.400
But this, this is gonna be my favourite in[br]winter. It's all like soft and fleecy inside

0:08:37.400,0:08:43.311
and everything.[br]Okay, I got this light denim jacket for how

0:08:43.311,0:08:45.440
much?[br]Was it $3?

0:08:45.440,0:08:48.100
No! Cheaper[br]$2? Nope cheaper!

0:08:48.100,0:08:53.600
$1.50? Uh uh, even cheaper.[br]$1? Yup! This was $1. $1!

0:08:53.600,0:08:58.850
Wah, it is so, so, so, so, so nice[br]Again, haven't been able to wear it 'coz summer

0:08:58.850,0:09:00.900
-[br]But it's gonna be like everyday on my body

0:09:00.900,0:09:01.900
when it's wintertime!

0:09:01.900,0:09:06.720
I love this swimsuit to pieces, but you're[br]gonna laugh so much when you see it.

0:09:06.720,0:09:10.970
So the one real big drawback of this is that[br]it's a swimsuit,

0:09:10.970,0:09:14.860
But it's not made for swimming so this thing[br]on the shoulder makes it impossible to move,

0:09:14.860,0:09:20.730
it makes it impossible for me to move my arm,[br]so while I love the ruffly one-shoulder

0:09:20.730,0:09:27.690
goodness, like, so much, I am considering[br]using the fabric to turn it into a one-piece

0:09:27.690,0:09:32.910
instead because it's already got like built-in[br]cups, like I'd only need to just copy that

0:09:32.910,0:09:37.080
side of the neckline over, maybe re-think[br]the frills or put them elsewhere…

0:09:37.080,0:09:39.620
[singing] Pants pants pants pants pants pants[br]pants pants pants pants!

0:09:39.620,0:09:46.560
I got theeeese like loose-fitting pastel-pink[br]couduroy pants in Japan, with an elasticated

0:09:46.560,0:09:51.400
waist band, and they are the comfiest thing[br]that I have ever owned - actually no wait!

0:09:51.400,0:09:56.170
THESE are the comfiest pants I have ever owned![br]These are like - accordian pleats?

0:09:56.170,0:09:59.960
I don't know, what do you call that like,[br]teensy tiny pleating on material?

0:09:59.960,0:10:02.660
Maybe it’s something even smaller than an[br]accordion?

0:10:02.660,0:10:08.460
They’re just loose-fitting, like silky black[br]pants, also with an elastic waistband for

0:10:08.460,0:10:11.040
MAXIMUM COMFORT![br]Some of my favourite pants that I’ve ever

0:10:11.040,0:10:18.380
found are these jeans that have bears on them![br]Not only is it super cute, but I can also

0:10:18.380,0:10:22.780
when I'm wearing them I can say, “bear butt![br]Bear butt! I have a bear butt!”

0:10:22.780,0:10:25.980
‘Coz I’m 5 years old and that joke cracks[br]me up everytime!

0:10:25.980,0:10:29.960
Shorts![br]Looking this cutie patootie pair of acid-washed

0:10:29.960,0:10:34.971
shorts that I've got[br]From a very cool vintage shop in Japan. These

0:10:34.971,0:10:41.610
cute high-waisted shorts have this adorable[br]paper-bag waist feature on them, and oh, I

0:10:41.610,0:10:44.630
love them so much![br]I think it can be difficult sometimes for

0:10:44.630,0:10:49.170
paper bag waists to look nice and not just[br]like a bunch of like extra fabric all up in

0:10:49.170,0:10:52.220
there - but I think these one strike the balance[br]really well. And the shorts that I'm wearing

0:10:52.220,0:10:57.190
today are a Ralph Lauren that I got for $5![br]Mmm, so fancy!

0:10:57.190,0:11:02.940
This is like, the cutest, bestest romper that[br]I’ve ever found!

0:11:02.940,0:11:09.550
This romper is one of my favorite comfy faves.[br]It's got a little floral print all across

0:11:09.550,0:11:14.430
it. What's this collar sleeve called? Princess[br]Anne? Queen Anne? Some royal - something something

0:11:14.430,0:11:19.270
royal! So it looks really good when it’s[br]worn on its own, or with like a t-shirt underneath,

0:11:19.270,0:11:25.070
and it's really really really soooo comfortable.[br]I think with my clothes, I’ve decided that

0:11:25.070,0:11:27.830
the more comfortable, the better lately!

0:11:27.830,0:11:31.910
Now this used to be one of my largest categories[br]of things that I would look for thrift shops,

0:11:31.910,0:11:37.280
but now, ehh, I’m just not that into wearing[br]skirts at the moment, but this long flowy

0:11:37.280,0:11:45.011
skirt is 100% silk, and it also has like this[br]sunflower print all over it… it kind of

0:11:45.011,0:11:48.670
looks more like daisies ‘coz it's like the[br]coloring of daisies, but it's the shape of

0:11:48.670,0:11:53.030
sunflowers so - I don't know what it is. Don't[br]yell at me in the comments cuz I got a flower

0:11:53.030,0:11:55.180
wrong![br]But it's got all these like extra bits of

0:11:55.180,0:12:01.920
like panels in the skirt to make it really[br]really amazing and flowy and makes you want

0:12:01.920,0:12:04.210
to spin around all the time when you're wearing[br]it.

0:12:04.210,0:12:06.970
Is that it? IS THAT IT?

0:12:06.970,0:12:08.840
No wait, that's not it. Hang on.

0:12:08.840,0:12:17.490
I've got some hats to show you, you think[br]I'm gonna forget about the hats?

0:12:17.490,0:12:20.360
Hat number one…

0:12:20.360,0:12:21.360
[silence]

0:12:21.360,0:12:25.920
All the hats. And last section [drum roll[br]imitation]

0:12:25.920,0:12:30.090
TOYS! This audio is probably, like, copyright[br]protected so this video will get demonetized.

0:12:30.090,0:12:36.030
But I need to show you I got a Finn and a[br]Jake and they talk. They talk.

0:12:36.030,0:12:38.470
[Toy Finn speaks]

0:12:38.470,0:12:40.100
Alright Finn.

0:12:40.100,0:12:42.540
[Toy Jake speaks]

0:12:42.540,0:12:49.950
They're being so rude to me! And that is my[br]thrift haul from the last couple of months.

0:12:49.950,0:12:50.950
In the past when we went thrift shopping

0:12:50.950,0:12:55.610
I used to just kind of go through all the[br]cheapest bins and find the cheapest clothes

0:12:55.610,0:12:56.690
and just get like,

0:12:56.690,0:13:01.970
A mountain of super, super cheap clothing,[br]and usually not that well-made clothing and,

0:13:01.970,0:13:02.970
well, the reason

0:13:02.970,0:13:07.690
It's cheap, but more recently. I've been kind[br]of... I've been kind of like that is still

0:13:07.690,0:13:09.670
a sort of a fast-fashion

0:13:09.670,0:13:14.370
Mentality to have towards fashion. Sure, I'm[br]not buying the clothing new and it still supports

0:13:14.370,0:13:16.980
a charity, but I'm still going through the[br]clothes

0:13:16.980,0:13:21.870
At such a rapid rate where I'm like "I need[br]more all the time, and I'm not satisfied

0:13:21.870,0:13:25.290
By the things I have". I'm not even wearing[br]some of the things that I have much, before

0:13:25.290,0:13:27.530
bringing them back to the thrift shop.

0:13:27.530,0:13:29.740
So lately have been picking, uhm,

0:13:29.740,0:13:32.990
fewer pieces, but that are just slightly better[br]quality,

0:13:32.990,0:13:33.990
maybe just like a

0:13:33.990,0:13:37.860
slightly more expensive. Like, I used to scoff[br]at things that were more than ten dollars

0:13:37.860,0:13:38.860
in thrift shops

0:13:38.860,0:13:43.350
But now if they are actually good quality,[br]because some things can just be way too over

0:13:43.350,0:13:44.830
priced, but if they are good quality

0:13:44.830,0:13:49.140
I'm like hell-yeah, I'm gonna take this, I'm[br]gonna love it for years and honestly

0:13:49.140,0:13:54.020
it's really made me feel a lot happier with[br]my style, with my wardrobe. Yeah

0:13:54.020,0:13:57.450
I'm not saying one way is necessarily better[br]than the other, but that's just, that's just

0:13:57.450,0:13:58.450
what I've been doing lately

0:13:58.450,0:13:59.450
So let me know

0:13:59.450,0:14:02.780
What is the most awesome thing that you have[br]ever found on a thrifting exhibition [expedition]

0:14:02.780,0:14:03.780
all these items are awesome,

0:14:03.780,0:14:08.920
but they probably still can't beat the little[br]purse. I have that is shaped like a house.

0:14:08.920,0:14:13.880
I had to go find it, so I could show you all.[br]It's a purse

0:14:13.880,0:14:15.430
..And it's a house.

0:14:15.430,0:14:20.520
