WEBVTT 00:00:01.839 --> 00:00:06.090 *pop noise, techno music* 00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:09.990 Hi! Who could it be? Annika V! 00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:13.340 That's me. I promise I'll never do that again... 00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:18.300 Hey everyone! *sing songy voice* Iiiiii wanted to do, a little thrift haul, for you! 00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.840 Why do I have to make everything into a rhyme today? 00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:24.940 So! I have had some very very very good, thrift, finds, recently! 00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:27.600 And I wanted to show them to all of you 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:33.030 These are from a couple of different places, over the past couple of *pause* months? of... 00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:37.360 Goin to thrift shops, charity shops, second hand stores, and vintage stores...and then 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:38.800 my absolute favorite items 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:43.700 Let's start with accessories. My absolute favorite thing that I have ever thrifted, 00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:45.220 ever, in the world, ever... 00:00:45.220 --> 00:00:49.010 not only does it have a three-dimensional... like... 00:00:49.010 --> 00:00:56.110 Silicone or something beak, Luci pointed out that it is indeed a BACKQUACK™ or a QUACKPACK™ 00:00:56.110 --> 00:00:57.737 whichever one you choose, it's an incredible pun. 00:00:57.737 --> 00:00:59.399 "My name is Mary 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.430 McQuackpack, the backquack." 00:01:01.430 --> 00:01:05.030 *Annika again* Unfortunately THE WORST THING HAPPENED! 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... 00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:13.299 Zip? I don't know how to get it back on...? 00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:14.990 How do you got a zipper back on a zip? 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... 00:01:18.529 --> 00:01:21.499 But it is worth it to save Mary McQuackpack's LIFE. 00:01:21.499 --> 00:01:27.389 The second accessory I found is this fanny pack/bum bag 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 00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:32.980 weirdos... 00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:34.899 I'm not good carrying weight on my shoulders 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 00:01:40.729 --> 00:01:43.149 are like, you know people don't look at you like it 00:01:43.149 --> 00:01:44.560 *noises of uncertainty* 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.479 Some people recognize that they are a little bit trendy some people still laugh at me, 00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:51.479 but yes! 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 00:01:53.950 --> 00:01:54.950 me. 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. 00:01:59.189 --> 00:02:03.809 So I must be just too enthusiastic with opening my... 00:02:03.809 --> 00:02:07.169 backpacks, because I also thrifted, this, 00:02:07.169 --> 00:02:10.619 amazing acid-washed denim backpack... 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 00:02:14.549 --> 00:02:15.549 this one. 00:02:15.549 --> 00:02:17.390 Also. This was an awesome find. 00:02:17.390 --> 00:02:24.379 I follow, Mihna? Meena? Mina Gilligan on instagram and apparently she made a book in 2015 00:02:24.379 --> 00:02:28.599 It's pretty much all about thrift shopping and putting cool outfits together, 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, 00:02:33.110 --> 00:02:37.810 because Mina, the author talks about how much she loves thrift shopping and loves finding 00:02:37.810 --> 00:02:38.849 gems at shops 00:02:38.849 --> 00:02:39.849 and 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 00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:45.900 find. 00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:46.900 And this brooch. 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 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.560 a chronic illness... like 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.560 Ever? 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.799 Okay, that's it for the accessories onto the clothes! 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! 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 00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:07.959 70s.... 00:03:07.959 --> 00:03:09.219 and 100% polyester. 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. 00:03:13.969 --> 00:03:17.359 But I couldn't... I coooooo...I couldn't resist this...I couldn't 00:03:17.359 --> 00:03:22.330 Look at the color, look at the piping, look at the drop look, LOOK AT IT!!! 00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:25.090 Okay, more dresses. this pinafore that I got. It has frills. It even has pockets. POCKETS. 00:03:25.090 --> 00:03:31.420 *noises of happiness* it's so cuuuute I love it I love it I love it 00:03:31.420 --> 00:03:33.749 Another favorite is 00:03:33.749 --> 00:03:34.749 This 00:03:34.749 --> 00:03:39.379 Crochet orange dress. Because it's actually like made out of crocheted material was that 00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:40.379 yarn wool. 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 00:03:44.670 --> 00:03:46.969 it's a little bit difficult to um... 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 00:03:50.769 --> 00:03:51.970 it's actually quite heavy. 00:03:51.970 --> 00:03:56.659 But I'm so excited to start wearing it once summer is over here, in Australia. 00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:58.160 This crushed-velvet...um... 00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:04.569 [singing] Green babydoll dress is like my favorite thing, on earth! 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 00:04:09.730 --> 00:04:13.040 the camera - It's a dress with a short, 00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:19.370 maybe like a princess waist? The high up waist with a velvet top and cute flowy 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 00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:29.300 this baby. This dress that I got is the most fancy freaking 00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:32.860 thing that I've ever owned and I got it for five dollars secondhand from 00:04:32.860 --> 00:04:37.280 a market stall. It's got this cool, split leg action going on. 00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:44.150 This is an incredible sheer, floral body contouring dress and it's stretchy, 00:04:44.150 --> 00:04:48.750 and it looks really good with like a beige slip underneath, and again this was 00:04:48.750 --> 00:04:51.720 $5 from a market stall. Go to flea markets people! 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.050 They're the greatest! Look at the print on this dress 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 00:05:00.460 --> 00:05:01.460 me I don't know 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 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.580 taking this one back to another thrift store for someone to chance 00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:15.530 upon and find and fall in love with because I think someone 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 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 00:05:27.270 --> 00:05:30.569 whole. Rainbow colored stuff is something that I have been 00:05:30.569 --> 00:05:34.410 really loving a lot lately, and this one is like a like a pink rainbow. 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 00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:43.009 it's got its contrasting hem It's the best! It goes with everything and 00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:48.220 I love it. Yeah. This is a cute cute thing that I found 00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:51.900 Mmm. Maybe like four months ago Yes a nice big 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 00:05:56.410 --> 00:05:59.960 with this awesome like Fresh Prince of Bel Air print. 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 00:06:04.510 --> 00:06:09.280 really unusual, that's super... I decided super cool, 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:13.440 T-shirt that looks like it has kind of like a vest leotard on it, 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:16.870 but it's really nice. And just the other day. I found this old super 00:06:16.870 --> 00:06:21.349 hot pink Nike top, and I just really liked the colour. 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 00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:30.000 point because, unless this brand just like sucks, 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.530 the edges are all wonky and weird and raw and... eugh. 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... 00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:44.940 It has a very cute floral print. And this is one of my favourites 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 00:06:50.860 --> 00:06:56.700 umm, with stripy sleeves! So it's like a baseball playing turkey 00:06:56.700 --> 00:07:00.379 on the front and it says in German ...no, I'm not... 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 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:07.880 Google Translate, 'today, let's hit the timpani!' But I asked 00:07:07.880 --> 00:07:12.139 some german-speaking people what that means and apparently it means like, yeah go for 00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:14.680 it! Let's go! Like someone told me, umm 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 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:22.810 of being like yeah, groovy man! Which I just think is 00:07:22.810 --> 00:07:28.940 so good. And and and! A little like attached googly eye 00:07:28.940 --> 00:07:32.180 Yeah, I'm into real just silly s*** huh? 00:07:32.180 --> 00:07:37.980 I got this super nice knitted singlet top, it's actually very lightweight 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, 00:07:42.509 --> 00:07:46.689 don't have to wear a bra! Ah, so good. In this cute strappy strap strappy 00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:50.340 strap strappy top, but how does this work? I had it on the other day? 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! 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 00:07:59.789 --> 00:08:03.530 well and I like it I've also picked up quite a few sweaters recently 00:08:03.530 --> 00:08:07.610 which is wholly inappropriate for living in Australia, and it being summer right now 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 00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:19.120 one, this is a vintage Adidas sweater, With like embroidered on, stitched on lettering, 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.370 A sweater with a rainbow appliqued onto it. This was only $10 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 00:08:28.659 --> 00:08:31.819 Oaf or Big Brud *makes mistake saying name of store* Brother Big Bud press. 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 00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:43.311 and everything. Okay, I got this light denim jacket for how 00:08:43.311 --> 00:08:45.440 much? Was it $3? 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.100 No! Cheaper $2? Nope cheaper! 00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:53.600 $1.50? Uh uh, even cheaper. $1? Yup! This was $1. $1! 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 00:08:58.850 --> 00:09:00.900 - But it's gonna be like everyday on my body 00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:01.900 when it's wintertime! 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. 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.970 So the one real big drawback of this is that it's a swimsuit, 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, 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 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 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 00:09:32.910 --> 00:09:37.080 side of the neckline over, maybe re-think the frills or put them elsewhere… 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.620 [singing] Pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants pants! 00:09:39.620 --> 00:09:46.560 I got theeeese like loose-fitting pastel-pink couduroy pants in Japan, with an elasticated 00:09:46.560 --> 00:09:51.400 waist band, and they are the comfiest thing that I have ever owned - actually no wait! 00:09:51.400 --> 00:09:56.170 THESE are the comfiest pants I have ever owned! These are like - accordian pleats? 00:09:56.170 --> 00:09:59.960 I don't know, what do you call that like, teensy tiny pleating on material? 00:09:59.960 --> 00:10:02.660 Maybe it’s something even smaller than an accordion? 00:10:02.660 --> 00:10:08.460 They’re just loose-fitting, like silky black pants, also with an elastic waistband for 00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:11.040 MAXIMUM COMFORT! Some of my favourite pants that I’ve ever 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 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!” 00:10:22.780 --> 00:10:25.980 ‘Coz I’m 5 years old and that joke cracks me up everytime! 00:10:25.980 --> 00:10:29.960 Shorts! Looking this cutie patootie pair of acid-washed 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.971 shorts that I've got From a very cool vintage shop in Japan. These 00:10:34.971 --> 00:10:41.610 cute high-waisted shorts have this adorable paper-bag waist feature on them, and oh, I 00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:44.630 love them so much! I think it can be difficult sometimes for 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 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 00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:57.190 today are a Ralph Lauren that I got for $5! Mmm, so fancy! 00:10:57.190 --> 00:11:02.940 This is like, the cutest, bestest romper that I’ve ever found! 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 00:11:09.550 --> 00:11:14.430 it. What's this collar sleeve called? Princess Anne? Queen Anne? Some royal - something something 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, 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 00:11:25.070 --> 00:11:27.830 the more comfortable, the better lately! 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, 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 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 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 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 00:11:53.030 --> 00:11:55.180 wrong! But it's got all these like extra bits of 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 00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:04.210 to spin around all the time when you're wearing it. 00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:06.970 Is that it? IS THAT IT? 00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:08.840 No wait, that's not it. Hang on. 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? 00:12:17.490 --> 00:12:20.360 Hat number one… 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.360 [silence] 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.920 All the hats. And last section [drum roll imitation] 00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:30.090 TOYS! This audio is probably, like, copyright protected so this video will get demonetized. 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. 00:12:36.030 --> 00:12:38.470 [Toy Finn speaks] 00:12:38.470 --> 00:12:40.100 Alright Finn. 00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:42.540 [Toy Jake speaks] 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. 00:12:49.950 --> 00:12:50.950 In the past when we went thrift shopping 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 00:12:55.610 --> 00:12:56.690 and just get like, 00:12:56.690 --> 00:13:01.970 A mountain of super, super cheap clothing, and usually not that well-made clothing and, 00:13:01.970 --> 00:13:02.970 well, the reason 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 00:13:07.690 --> 00:13:09.670 a sort of a fast-fashion 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 00:13:14.370 --> 00:13:16.980 a charity, but I'm still going through the clothes 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 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 00:13:25.290 --> 00:13:27.530 bringing them back to the thrift shop. 00:13:27.530 --> 00:13:29.740 So lately have been picking, uhm, 00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:32.990 fewer pieces, but that are just slightly better quality, 00:13:32.990 --> 00:13:33.990 maybe just like a 00:13:33.990 --> 00:13:37.860 slightly more expensive. Like, I used to scoff at things that were more than ten dollars 00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.860 in thrift shops 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 00:13:43.350 --> 00:13:44.830 priced, but if they are good quality 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 00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:54.020 it's really made me feel a lot happier with my style, with my wardrobe. Yeah 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 00:13:57.450 --> 00:13:58.450 what I've been doing lately 00:13:58.450 --> 00:13:59.450 So let me know 00:13:59.450 --> 00:14:02.780 What is the most awesome thing that you have ever found on a thrifting exhibition [expedition] 00:14:02.780 --> 00:14:03.780 all these items are awesome, 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. 00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:13.880 I had to go find it, so I could show you all. It's a purse 00:14:13.880 --> 00:14:15.430 ..And it's a house. 00:14:15.430 --> 00:14:20.520 Thank you all so much for watching, if you'd like to see how I put together outfits on 00:14:20.520 --> 00:14:21.520 a daily basis 00:14:21.520 --> 00:14:27.850 Please don't forget to go follow me @littlepineneedle on Instagram, and I will see you all next 00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:29.080 time.
