1
00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:06,090
*pop noise, techno music*

2
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:09,990
Hi! Who could it be? Annika V!

3
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:13,340
That's me. I promise I'll never do that again...

4
00:00:13,340 --> 00:00:18,300
Hey everyone! *sing songy voice* Iiiiii wanted
to do, a little thrift haul, for you!

5
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:20,840
Why do I have to make everything into a rhyme
today?

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,940
So! I have had some very very very good, thrift,
finds, recently!

7
00:00:24,940 --> 00:00:27,600
And I wanted to show them to all of you

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,030
These are from a couple of different places,
over the past couple of *pause* months? of...

9
00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:37,360
Goin to thrift shops, charity shops, second
hand stores, and vintage stores...and then

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,800
my absolute favorite items

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,700
Let's start with accessories. My absolute
favorite thing that I have ever thrifted,

12
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,220
ever, in the world, ever...

13
00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:49,010
not only does it have a three-dimensional...
like...

14
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:56,110
Silicone or something beak, Luci pointed out
that it is indeed a BACKQUACK™ or a QUACKPACK™

15
00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:57,737
whichever one you choose, it's an incredible pun.

16
00:00:57,737 --> 00:00:59,399
"My name is Mary

17
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:01,430
McQuackpack, the backquack."

18
00:01:01,430 --> 00:01:05,030
*Annika again* Unfortunately THE WORST THING
HAPPENED!

19
00:01:05,030 --> 00:01:11,310
The zip broke? It um? You know the zipper
did that thing? Where it fell off the? um...

20
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:13,299
Zip? I don't know how to get it back on...?

21
00:01:13,299 --> 00:01:14,990
How do you got a zipper back on a zip?

22
00:01:14,990 --> 00:01:18,529
Do I have to replace the zipper entirely?
If I do that's gonna be able to work...

23
00:01:18,529 --> 00:01:21,499
But it is worth it to save Mary McQuackpack's
LIFE.

24
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:27,389
The second accessory I found is this fanny
pack/bum bag

25
00:01:27,389 --> 00:01:31,980
Fanny means a different thing in the rest
of the world than it does in America, you

26
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:32,980
weirdos...

27
00:01:32,980 --> 00:01:34,899
I'm not good carrying weight on my shoulders

28
00:01:34,899 --> 00:01:40,729
Um, from my illness. Especially this once,
so I'm really happy that these kind of bags

29
00:01:40,729 --> 00:01:43,149
are like, you know people don't look at you
like it

30
00:01:43,149 --> 00:01:44,560
*noises of uncertainty*

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,479
Some people recognize that they are a little
bit trendy some people still laugh at me,

32
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:51,479
but yes!

33
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:53,950
What was I saying? It's so much easier than
carrying things on your shoulders, well for

34
00:01:53,950 --> 00:01:54,950
me.

35
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:59,189
It's so much easier to carry things on my
waist I feel like a cool 80s mom wearing these.

36
00:01:59,189 --> 00:02:03,809
So I must be just too enthusiastic with opening
my...

37
00:02:03,809 --> 00:02:07,169
backpacks, because I also thrifted, this,

38
00:02:07,169 --> 00:02:10,619
amazing acid-washed denim backpack...

39
00:02:10,619 --> 00:02:14,549
And I broke the zip. It did the exact same
thing, the zip actually came completely off

40
00:02:14,549 --> 00:02:15,549
this one.

41
00:02:15,549 --> 00:02:17,390
Also. This was an awesome find.

42
00:02:17,390 --> 00:02:24,379
I follow, Mihna? Meena? Mina Gilligan on instagram
and apparently she made a book in 2015

43
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:28,599
It's pretty much all about thrift shopping
and putting cool outfits together,

44
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:33,110
Features a bunch of her art and I think someone
brought this back to a thrift shop,

45
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:37,810
because Mina, the author talks about how much
she loves thrift shopping and loves finding

46
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:38,849
gems at shops

47
00:02:38,849 --> 00:02:39,849
and

48
00:02:39,849 --> 00:02:44,900
so I guess this was well loved and well read
and then left at the thrift shop for me to

49
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:45,900
find.

50
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:46,900
And this brooch.

51
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:51,060
I don't think it's meant to be, but this is
like the most amazing badge for a person with

52
00:02:51,060 --> 00:02:52,560
a chronic illness... like

53
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Ever?

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,799
Okay, that's it for the accessories onto the
clothes!

55
00:02:55,799 --> 00:03:01,440
Okay, so the first one, that I am very excited
to tell you about, is right behind me here!

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,959
I just got this dress yesterday, and holy
moly it is so cool!!! The dress is from the

57
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:07,959
70s....

58
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:09,219
and 100% polyester.

59
00:03:09,219 --> 00:03:13,969
I don't normally go for polyester clothes.
They usually make me way too hot and sweaty.

60
00:03:13,969 --> 00:03:17,359
But I couldn't... I coooooo...I couldn't resist
this...I couldn't

61
00:03:17,359 --> 00:03:22,330
Look at the color, look at the piping, look
at the drop look, LOOK AT IT!!!

62
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:25,090
Okay, more dresses. this pinafore that I got.
It has frills. It even has pockets. POCKETS.

63
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:31,420
*noises of happiness* it's so cuuuute I love
it I love it I love it

64
00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:33,749
Another favorite is

65
00:03:33,749 --> 00:03:34,749
This

66
00:03:34,749 --> 00:03:39,379
Crochet orange dress. Because it's actually
like made out of crocheted material was that

67
00:03:39,379 --> 00:03:40,379
yarn
wool.

68
00:03:40,379 --> 00:03:44,670
it's actually quite thick, but it's also a
short dress and also a bit see-through so

69
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:46,969
it's a little bit difficult to um...

70
00:03:46,969 --> 00:03:50,769
Find the right situation to wear it in. I
think it's more of an autumn dress, because

71
00:03:50,769 --> 00:03:51,970
it's actually quite heavy.

72
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:56,659
But I'm so excited to start wearing it once
summer is over here, in Australia.

73
00:03:56,659 --> 00:03:58,160
This crushed-velvet...um...

74
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,569
[singing] Green babydoll dress is like my
favorite thing, on earth!

75
00:04:04,569 --> 00:04:09,730
I feel like Tinkerbell when I wear this. This
is a... I don't know if you could see it in

76
00:04:09,730 --> 00:04:13,040
the camera -
It's a dress with a short,

77
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:19,370
maybe like a princess waist? The high up waist
with a velvet top and cute flowy

78
00:04:19,370 --> 00:04:24,889
chiffon bottom, it's the perfect party dress.
Someone invite me to a party so I can wear

79
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:29,300
this baby.
This dress that I got is the most fancy freaking

80
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,860
thing that I've ever owned
and I got it for five dollars secondhand from

81
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:37,280
a market stall. It's got this cool, split
leg action going on.

82
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,150
This is an incredible sheer,
floral body contouring dress and it's stretchy,

83
00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:48,750
and it looks really good with like a beige
slip underneath, and again this was

84
00:04:48,750 --> 00:04:51,720
$5 from a market stall. Go to flea markets
people!

85
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,050
They're the greatest!
Look at the print on this dress

86
00:04:55,050 --> 00:05:00,460
It is so pretty, it is one of my favorite
finds, but I just don't think it super suits

87
00:05:00,460 --> 00:05:01,460
me
I don't know

88
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:06,800
I just been kind of off wearing circle-y circle
skirt dresses at the moment so I might be

89
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,580
taking this one back
to another thrift store for someone to chance

90
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:15,530
upon and find and fall in love with because
I think someone

91
00:05:15,530 --> 00:05:19,669
could love this a lot more than I can.
Now I'm probably gonna show you about a million

92
00:05:19,669 --> 00:05:27,270
stripy t-shirts, so let's go.
This is my favourite top find I think of this

93
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:30,569
whole. Rainbow colored stuff is something
that I have been

94
00:05:30,569 --> 00:05:34,410
really loving a lot lately, and this one is
like a like a pink rainbow.

95
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:38,260
I mean, there's like there's four different
shades of pink in there, and it's stripy and

96
00:05:38,260 --> 00:05:43,009
it's got its contrasting hem
It's the best! It goes with everything and

97
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:48,220
I love it. Yeah. This is a cute cute thing
that I found

98
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:51,900
Mmm. Maybe like four months ago
Yes a nice big

99
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,410
oversized tee so it's cute to tie up or leave
down and tuck in and wear loose

100
00:05:56,410 --> 00:05:59,960
with this awesome like Fresh Prince of Bel
Air print.

101
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:04,510
This stripey crop top that I found reminds
me of like vintage Barbie, and I found this

102
00:06:04,510 --> 00:06:09,280
really unusual,
that's super... I decided super cool,

103
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:13,440
T-shirt that looks like it has kind of like
a vest leotard on it,

104
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,870
but it's really nice.
And just the other day. I found this old super

105
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:21,349
hot pink
Nike top, and I just really liked the colour.

106
00:06:21,349 --> 00:06:26,509
This is a super cute little cropped top
I actually think it has long sleeves at one

107
00:06:26,509 --> 00:06:30,000
point because, unless this brand just like
sucks,

108
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,530
the edges are all wonky and weird and raw
and... eugh.

109
00:06:34,530 --> 00:06:40,139
But you can't tell, and it's very very nice.
It has a very cute flower or floral...

110
00:06:40,139 --> 00:06:44,940
It has a very cute floral print.
And this is one of my favourites

111
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:50,860
I got this yesterday from a vintage store.
It's a German t-shirt from the 70s

112
00:06:50,860 --> 00:06:56,700
umm, with stripy
sleeves! So it's like a baseball playing turkey

113
00:06:56,700 --> 00:07:00,379
on the front and it says in German
...no, I'm not...

114
00:07:00,379 --> 00:07:05,520
I'm not gonna try and say that, but it means
'hit the drums', or when I put it through

115
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,880
Google Translate,
'today, let's hit the timpani!' But I asked

116
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,139
some german-speaking people what that means
and apparently it means like, yeah go for

117
00:07:12,139 --> 00:07:14,680
it!
Let's go! Like someone told me, umm

118
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,560
that's something only your parents would probably
say so it's like the equivalent in English

119
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,810
of being like yeah,
groovy man! Which I just think is

120
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:28,940
so good. And and and! A little like attached
googly eye

121
00:07:28,940 --> 00:07:32,180
Yeah, I'm into real
just silly s*** huh?

122
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:37,980
I got this super nice knitted
singlet top, it's actually very lightweight

123
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:42,509
and like perfect for summer. It's so nice
I've been wearing it like every day, so comfortable,

124
00:07:42,509 --> 00:07:46,689
don't have to wear a bra!
Ah, so good. In this cute strappy strap strappy

125
00:07:46,689 --> 00:07:50,340
strap strappy top, but how does this work?
I had it on the other day?

126
00:07:50,340 --> 00:07:54,439
I swear I know how to... future Annika take
it away with the figuring out of how it works!

127
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:59,789
And I also got this baby yesterday. It's very
cute. It's very simple, but it just fit really

128
00:07:59,789 --> 00:08:03,530
well and I like it
I've also picked up quite a few sweaters recently

129
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:07,610
which is wholly inappropriate for living in
Australia, and it being summer right now

130
00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:11,740
But I'll be able to wear it in like six months.
So it still has the price tag on it, this

131
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:19,120
one, this is a vintage Adidas sweater,
With like embroidered on, stitched on lettering,

132
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,370
A sweater with a rainbow appliqued onto it.
This was only $10

133
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:28,659
And yep, yep, I was just like yes please
and it kind of reminds me of brands like Lazy

134
00:08:28,659 --> 00:08:31,819
Oaf or Big Brud *makes mistake saying name
of store* Brother Big Bud press.

135
00:08:31,819 --> 00:08:37,400
But this, this is gonna be my favourite in
winter. It's all like soft and fleecy inside

136
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,311
and everything.
Okay, I got this light denim jacket for how

137
00:08:43,311 --> 00:08:45,440
much?
Was it $3?

138
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,100
No! Cheaper
$2? Nope cheaper!

139
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:53,600
$1.50? Uh uh, even cheaper.
$1? Yup! This was $1. $1!

140
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,850
Wah, it is so, so, so, so, so nice
Again, haven't been able to wear it 'coz summer

141
00:08:58,850 --> 00:09:00,900
-
But it's gonna be like everyday on my body

142
00:09:00,900 --> 00:09:01,900
when it's wintertime!

143
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:06,720
I love this swimsuit to pieces, but you're
gonna laugh so much when you see it.

144
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,970
So the one real big drawback of this is that
it's a swimsuit,

145
00:09:10,970 --> 00:09:14,860
But it's not made for swimming so this thing
on the shoulder makes it impossible to move,

146
00:09:14,860 --> 00:09:20,730
it makes it impossible for me to move my arm,
so while I love the ruffly one-shoulder

147
00:09:20,730 --> 00:09:27,690
goodness, like, so much, I am considering
using the fabric to turn it into a one-piece

148
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:32,910
instead because it's already got like built-in
cups, like I'd only need to just copy that

149
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:37,080
side of the neckline over, maybe re-think
the frills or put them elsewhere…

150
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,620
[singing] Pants pants pants pants pants pants
pants pants pants pants!

151
00:09:39,620 --> 00:09:46,560
I got theeeese like loose-fitting pastel-pink
couduroy pants in Japan, with an elasticated

152
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:51,400
waist band, and they are the comfiest thing
that I have ever owned - actually no wait!

153
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,170
THESE are the comfiest pants I have ever owned!
These are like - accordian pleats?

154
00:09:56,170 --> 00:09:59,960
I don't know, what do you call that like,
teensy tiny pleating on material?

155
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,660
Maybe it’s something even smaller than an
accordion?

156
00:10:02,660 --> 00:10:08,460
They’re just loose-fitting, like silky black
pants, also with an elastic waistband for

157
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:11,040
MAXIMUM COMFORT!
Some of my favourite pants that I’ve ever

158
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:18,380
found are these jeans that have bears on them!
Not only is it super cute, but I can also

159
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:22,780
when I'm wearing them I can say, “bear butt!
Bear butt! I have a bear butt!”

160
00:10:22,780 --> 00:10:25,980
‘Coz I’m 5 years old and that joke cracks
me up everytime!

161
00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:29,960
Shorts!
Looking this cutie patootie pair of acid-washed

162
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,971
shorts that I've got
From a very cool vintage shop in Japan. These

163
00:10:34,971 --> 00:10:41,610
cute high-waisted shorts have this adorable
paper-bag waist feature on them, and oh, I

164
00:10:41,610 --> 00:10:44,630
love them so much!
I think it can be difficult sometimes for

165
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:49,170
paper bag waists to look nice and not just
like a bunch of like extra fabric all up in

166
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:52,220
there - but I think these one strike the balance
really well. And the shorts that I'm wearing

167
00:10:52,220 --> 00:10:57,190
today are a Ralph Lauren that I got for $5!
Mmm, so fancy!

168
00:10:57,190 --> 00:11:02,940
This is like, the cutest, bestest romper that
I’ve ever found!

169
00:11:02,940 --> 00:11:09,550
This romper is one of my favorite comfy faves.
It's got a little floral print all across

170
00:11:09,550 --> 00:11:14,430
it. What's this collar sleeve called? Princess
Anne? Queen Anne? Some royal - something something

171
00:11:14,430 --> 00:11:19,270
royal! So it looks really good when it’s
worn on its own, or with like a t-shirt underneath,

172
00:11:19,270 --> 00:11:25,070
and it's really really really soooo comfortable.
I think with my clothes, I’ve decided that

173
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:27,830
the more comfortable, the better lately!

174
00:11:27,830 --> 00:11:31,910
Now this used to be one of my largest categories
of things that I would look for thrift shops,

175
00:11:31,910 --> 00:11:37,280
but now, ehh, I’m just not that into wearing
skirts at the moment, but this long flowy

176
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:45,011
skirt is 100% silk, and it also has like this
sunflower print all over it… it kind of

177
00:11:45,011 --> 00:11:48,670
looks more like daisies ‘coz it's like the
coloring of daisies, but it's the shape of

178
00:11:48,670 --> 00:11:53,030
sunflowers so - I don't know what it is. Don't
yell at me in the comments cuz I got a flower

179
00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:55,180
wrong!
But it's got all these like extra bits of

180
00:11:55,180 --> 00:12:01,920
like panels in the skirt to make it really
really amazing and flowy and makes you want

181
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,210
to spin around all the time when you're wearing
it.

182
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:06,970
Is that it? IS THAT IT?

183
00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:08,840
No wait, that's not it. Hang on.

184
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:17,490
I've got some hats to show you, you think
I'm gonna forget about the hats?

185
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:20,360
Hat number one…

186
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,360
[silence]

187
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,920
All the hats. And last section [drum roll
imitation]

188
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,090
TOYS! This audio is probably, like, copyright
protected so this video will get demonetized.

189
00:12:30,090 --> 00:12:36,030
But I need to show you I got a Finn and a
Jake and they talk. They talk.

190
00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:38,470
[Toy Finn speaks]

191
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:40,100
Alright Finn.

192
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,540
[Toy Jake speaks]

193
00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:49,950
They're being so rude to me! And that is my
thrift haul from the last couple of months.

194
00:12:49,950 --> 00:12:50,950
In the past when we went thrift shopping

195
00:12:50,950 --> 00:12:55,610
I used to just kind of go through all the
cheapest bins and find the cheapest clothes

196
00:12:55,610 --> 00:12:56,690
and just get like,

197
00:12:56,690 --> 00:13:01,970
A mountain of super, super cheap clothing,
and usually not that well-made clothing and,

198
00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:02,970
well, the reason

199
00:13:02,970 --> 00:13:07,690
It's cheap, but more recently. I've been kind
of... I've been kind of like that is still

200
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:09,670
a sort of a fast-fashion

201
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:14,370
Mentality to have towards fashion. Sure, I'm
not buying the clothing new and it still supports

202
00:13:14,370 --> 00:13:16,980
a charity, but I'm still going through the
clothes

203
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:21,870
At such a rapid rate where I'm like "I need
more all the time, and I'm not satisfied

204
00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:25,290
By the things I have". I'm not even wearing
some of the things that I have much, before

205
00:13:25,290 --> 00:13:27,530
bringing them back to the thrift shop.

206
00:13:27,530 --> 00:13:29,740
So lately have been picking, uhm,

207
00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:32,990
fewer pieces, but that are just slightly better
quality,

208
00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:33,990
maybe just like a

209
00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:37,860
slightly more expensive. Like, I used to scoff
at things that were more than ten dollars

210
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:38,860
in thrift shops

211
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:43,350
But now if they are actually good quality,
because some things can just be way too over

212
00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:44,830
priced, but if they are good quality

213
00:13:44,830 --> 00:13:49,140
I'm like hell-yeah, I'm gonna take this, I'm
gonna love it for years and honestly

214
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:54,020
it's really made me feel a lot happier with
my style, with my wardrobe. Yeah

215
00:13:54,020 --> 00:13:57,450
I'm not saying one way is necessarily better
than the other, but that's just, that's just

216
00:13:57,450 --> 00:13:58,450
what I've been doing lately

217
00:13:58,450 --> 00:13:59,450
So let me know

218
00:13:59,450 --> 00:14:02,780
What is the most awesome thing that you have
ever found on a thrifting exhibition [expedition]

219
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:03,780
all these items are awesome,

220
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:08,920
but they probably still can't beat the little
purse. I have that is shaped like a house.

221
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,880
I had to go find it, so I could show you all.
It's a purse

222
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,430
..And it's a house.

223
00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:20,520
