FYI pockets are sewn shut to keep the structure of the garment and prevent people from putting stuff in them in the store. You don't see this at cheaper stores but in department stores and higher end stores, the clothes are usually manufactured this way. It's not because they hate you lol Fun fact, I once tried on a skirt in F21 and got stabbed and started bleeding from a nail someone had left in the pocket 🙃 I appreciate all pockets being sewn up lol
I came here to say about them being sewn up to keep the structure, but I didn't know about it stopping things being put in the pockets! Sewn pockets look better and lie flat when the garment is on the hanger and then hanging doesn't stretch the fabric out, also when its a tailored piece it makes it easier to fit on the customer being flat to the body 😎
I was JUST going to say - I followed you for the first time in August of last year and you were all oversized t’s, tucked into high wasted mom jeans w your docs! absolutely nothing wrong with that - I am just so happy to see how your style has evolved!
when you showed the winnie the pooh fit i immediately thought you should do a dressing like disney characters/ disneybounding for a week type of thing!! i think that would be so fun even though it’s a little dif from ur typical content:)
The outfit with the black boots and that silky brown/rust colored skirt was soooo cute on you! 🤩 And the DOCS!!! Omg so good - I’ve been looking for those same ones in that brown color. So good!
Seeing your style grow, develop and expand overtime truly gives me confidence to try clothes out of my own comfort zone! And I am HERE for it! All the love to you beautiful, keep doing your thing🥰
Retailers sew up the pockets of pants, skirts, and jackets so that when they are hanging on racks in the store no one puts anything in them (Used gum, drugs, etc). You can tell it's to protect the garment when the pockets only sewn in the middle and the top and bottom are open.
I've thrifted two pairs of docs while working at a thrift store. The low cut ones (never used) for $20 and the sandals for $10. They were some good days 😁👌
I thrifted Docs in London and I think I told everyone I met for like 10 months, so up until this day! They are the same soft leather style as you got but in black!! As a cruelty free sustainable person this made my life! So glad we understand each other. And too soft sweaters are the worst!
The sewn pockets are to keep the shape of the pants. The makers putt those in so you can deside yourself if you want pockets or a perfect shaped pair of pants. Seeing it in a pair of second hand pants is very rare butt its a good thing.
the more i thrift the more i love it (i recently found 80$ or 90$ jeans for 5$ and pants were always something i had to buy in regular stores because couldn’t find fitting ones second hand and know i can say i’m 100% quitting fast fashion)
They sew the pockets shut for packaging to the originial store. The store was supposed to take out the stitching closing the pocket when it put it out on the floor. it also helps with pressing the item so everything lays correctly. They also do this on slits on the back of blazers and other items.
When I was in 4th grade, I had an almost identical pair of those chonky black boots and I would walk around on just the heels so much that they broke in half. 🙃
I have trouble getting comfortable with skirts too. I started out wearing them over leggings/tights and it helps a lot! The skirt feels more like a layer instead of being one breeze away from flashing people lol
Leafs in the fall, turn from green, red, then yellow. After that, they are brown. In Alberta Canada, they sometimes don’t have a chance to turn colours before the snow comes.
Hey Alexa. Great haul! In regards to the colors, the shiny skirt I would say is a beautiful Copper, and the jacket, I believe would be maybe Burnt Umber? I'm definitely jealous of that sweater lol!
My mom sent me linen pants and they are phenomenal! I had the same thing with the pockets but they were on the booty. I snipped the thread and now I realize that I should have kept them shut because with washing and drying this organic fabric wants to wrinkle a bit. So It was sewn to keep the structure! I love the metallic skirt - It looks like it's blush (a staple color in my closet since 2016?) Also - two nights ago I was saying how much I miss thrifting and I am so happy I found your channel! I used to have a huge wardrobe of thrifted pieces and if they didn't fit I'd taylor them. Now seeing your video has me itching to go thrift some more! I love all the stores you mentioned. AA is one that is so versatile! I would recommend also sweaters from anthropologie -- they're super chic, high quality and various fits which is incredible for a something handmade. PS: Doc Martens are on my list. I hope I get lucky! hah
Loved this video! I am a 53 year old thrifter and I love trends but have learned to adjust them to my age and pass on some (so sad) but I love seeing you rock them ALL! My favorite trend for the Fall is the sherpa accent trend. I bought a gorgeous black suede oversized coat with black sherpa lapels and cuffs last year and plan to wear it a ton this winter... but wouldn't mind finding a 2nd look like you did. Will be keeping an eye out for a lighter color! Thanks for the great energy and inspiration!
Those docs are perfect! I’ve been on the hunt for a pair of the loafers second hand and I found a pair at my local thrift store for $50 and I didn’t grab them because I thought “nah, that’s too much for me right now” but on second thought I went back 5 minutes later and they were gone 😢 They were my size too! I still think about them sometimes lol
I know we always hear that fashion repeats itself and that it comes in cycles but I didn't realize how much trendy stuff could be found at thrift stores lol but it does makes sense since someone donated it when it was "out of fashion" at one point before it became coveted again 😅 that metallic skirt you got is so pretty, it kind of looks rose gold, seems perfect for fall and the holiday season but I could also picture it being styled in some spring outfits too! 😍
This video is great. Love everything. We do have fall here and some people don't like it, because it's raining alot more during fall, but i personally love fall and the different seasons. In the Netherlands we have all seasons, but winter is not as cold as it was years ago. Now we hardly have snow and when i was little there was much more snow in winter. You could paint the white tennis skirt black, with black fabric paint that won't wash off.
I love your your style change. I have done the same style change and been into the beige for 4yrs now and I love adding a pop of color in the form of a scarf over monochromatic colors. The beige trousers look amazing on your body type Lol tennis skirt was popular for us teenagers and young adults in the 80"s. I am 47 yrs old. Style suggestion for tennis skirt either the beautiful yellow dressy tank or my personal favorite a jewel tone collar button down shirt tucked in to the skirt. Alexa woman you nailed the styling of the lace bodysuit! Oh wow! The green jewel tone sweater with the tennis skirt! LMBOFL the pooh colors and you nailed it again! Yes leaves turn yellow. 💗 Oh my goodness! That metallic skirt is a copper metallic I'm drooling! You have nailed the 80's excellently! Perfectly Alexa! Love all the boots and you are correct, kitten heels are difficult to walk in on gravel, grates, and escalators... so the chunky heels and the brown Doc Martin score!!!! 😍
I don't know how true this is, but someone once told me that suiting trousers and jackets have the pockets sewn together at first so when you're trying it on everything lies flat without pocket lumps so you know the silhouette and you can unpick it if you want
I would wear pleated skirts all throughout high school and I remember overhearing people commenting on why my fashion sense was so weird? [Mix of softgirl/cottagecore before it became trending] Now they're trending? Oh how the turn tables
I gotta say 😂😂 since subscribing to your channel my fashion sense has been bueno 👌 👌 and while I take bits and pieces of your fashion tips and style and trends and such and make it fit my style and what I'm comfortable in it helps A lot and I've been willing to venture out and have fun so thank you for that I'm not sure if it's a style you've ever incorporated in your clothing but kinda going along with that business casual look I've really been liking plaid pants this past year
I'm only halfway through the video but I just had to say your waves are poppin'. Super cute! The black boots are my favorite thing youve thrifted so far.
🥺😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Embracing my waves is definitely a journey and I’m only on month 2 of wearing them natural and sometimes feel a bit insecure because they aren’t “perfect” so I really appreciate it !
Thrifting is my normal shopping for clothes , I get clothes at other stores usually during the summer for our girls trip or birthdays or holidays!! There's no reason to spend a lot of money if you don't have to!! My favorite stores : good will, playocloset, Wal-Mart and rue 21 and marshalls, gorbens before they closed it !!! Good Samaritan in town I live in !! I need to go shopping I need jeans and leggings!!
Ok, the pockets are stitched for a purpose of not getting wrinkled and messed up while being transported and hung at the store, and it also means they have never been worn before. Then the color of mini skirt you’ve got is a copper☺️
Being in 🇨🇦 , we are just starting into autumn. The tree leaves turn a red and yellow so yes that tank is dead on. Another great haul from the sunshine girl! 👍😊😷
I think they sew the pockets because they don’t want people putting their hands in there when they try on the clothes since it’s a fancier pant. It also keeps the pants looking fresh while they are still in the store 😊
I guess i didn’t say how much I got the docs for (my bad!!!!) I got them secondhand for $45! 🧡
🤯🤯💛💛
How :((( 💛
That's awesome! I thrifted a brand new pair last month for only $50, best thrift find ever! :D
Heck yes !!!!
That’s such a steal for the condition!! Ow ow!

Hmm I bet that was a fun doctors visit
@@bruhkent6895 I had my tetanus shot already updated because of my work, otherwise I would have freaked out lol took a long time to heal though oof
I bought a coat second hand and got stabbed from a rusty safety pin that got lost in the fluffyness of the fabric. It was fun.
On the other side, my friend once bought secondhand jeans and found money in the pocket when she was gonna wash it at home 😂

That metallic blush/rust skirt with the knee high black boots, is EVERYTHING! You look beautiful Alexa xx
Yaaasss! So amazing!
I wish she said the brand of the shirt
That black corset style lingerie piece was styled SO well! I absolutely loved the look on you😭
Ok... those beige pants paired with this black basic and the black belt looks soooo good on you!!!
💛💛💛💛
I was JUST going to say - I followed you for the first time in August of last year and you were all oversized t’s, tucked into high wasted mom jeans w your docs!

alexa’s room: 50% closet 50% forest HAHA i love it
😹😹😹😹😹🙀🙀🙀 OMG Hahahaha
The black lace and leather look is ny favorite for sure! And I couldn't imagine not having fall or winter.
Seeing your style grow, develop and expand overtime truly gives me confidence to try clothes out of my own comfort zone! And I am HERE for it! All the love to you beautiful, keep doing your thing🥰
Awww appreciate you love 😭💛

Interesting
So interesting!
They also do it so that they look better while hanging
Who is getting rid of their drugs??
Did anyone else get sad when she said that she only experienced fall once? I couldn't imagine living somewhere with no true fall
It’s tragic 🥺
Currently 24 and have never experienced it 😐 would love to tho!
I’ve never experienced fall, actually I’ve never experienced any season but summer. Hawaii is the same all year round 😭
hehehe try living in Texas 🤪
Maybe New England isn't so bad 😂

the all-black outfit KILLED it
The leather jacket, leather boots, bronze skirt outfit is my LIFE! Absolute fall GOALS😍😍😍
The sewn pockets are to keep the shape of the pants. The makers putt those in so you can deside yourself if you want pockets or a perfect shaped pair of pants. Seeing it in a pair of second hand pants is very rare butt its a good thing.
That emerald green sweater compliments your eyes and hair color so beautifully!! 🥰🙌💫
Awwww thank you love 💚

Omg ! 4th grade you was such an ICON
I think we have all been there, walking on just the heel... 😂😂😂
I’m getting a brassy rose-gold vibe from that skirt and I’m LOVING it😍 so unique!
WEAR THE PLEATED SKIRT WITH ONE OF YOUR WINNIE THE POOH CREWNECKS 🥺💕 I’ve seen it styled with crewnecks and it’s cute!!
I have NEVER seen you look better than when you wore that copper metallic skirt with the knee high black boots and blazer. OMG 😍😍😍 Obsessed!
👵🏼 clothes for the win!! And I am ABSOLUTELY loving the fitted trousers obsession! It looks so good on you!
I’m obsessed with the color of those docs I didn’t even know they came in that color
No one:
Alexis: One of my pet peeves are when sweaters are too soft
Like wth
😹
@@alexasunshine83 I HAVE THIS TOO THO! In between sweaters are the coziest!
I have trouble getting comfortable with skirts too. I started out wearing them over leggings/tights and it helps a lot! The skirt feels more like a layer instead of being one breeze away from flashing people lol
I would call that skirt “copper.” So pretty!!! Love all these finds.
I've enjoyed watching your style evolve over the last couple of years & it's so endearing refreshing
I loved the bodysuit, specially with the leather pants and blazer!
That material of the last skirt gave me rose gold metallic vibes ✨✨
Leafs in the fall, turn from green, red, then yellow. After that, they are brown. In Alberta Canada, they sometimes don’t have a chance to turn colours before the snow comes.
the bodysuit with the black leather and the gold is EVERYTHING! 😍
the lace body suit outfit is AMAZING😦

Oh my god i loooove that leather outfit with the « lingerie » bodysuit ! 😍 I literally want that same outfit like girl you look so good !!
The red pants and yellow top kinda reminds me of Carmex 😂😂 i like it tho, it’s very Fall which I mean is the theme for the video but idk 😂😂
Love your Fall finds! Trendy trends cracks me up too, you have the best expressions! 😂
Hahaha I was editing this video and was like “did I really just say trendy trends” 😹
That black lace thing looks amazing on you. Really compliments the pleather pants! Maybe more of a sultry date look, but you totally rock it!
I am obsessed with everything you got and all the outfits you put together during the try on!!! Amazing finds!! 💕
I think the color of the skirt would be called bronze maybe...
Rachel Kinnart copper I think
or copper

You know you're a thrifter when you still have dreams about the item you passed up! Thats so me.
I love how your styles is evolving!!!! It was great before but now is amazing!!! ❤️
Shiny yellow top would look amaaazing over a light brown turtleneck.
Love all the plants in your room. Love the way it looks especially the set up in front of the mirrors
☺️💛 thanks love !

OMG THAT LEATHER BLAZER AND LEATHER PANTS LOOK IS AMAZING
I love the white skirt and I feel that's my favorite trend this fall but the black boots Alexa found are AMAZINGGGGG
Okay, hear me out. That gold cami over a jade/dark teal turtleneck!
Like the exact same shade as the blouse behind the lime one on the bottom of Alexa's clothing rack.
😱😱😱 omg yes !
I don't know how true this is, but someone once told me that suiting trousers and jackets have the pockets sewn together at first so when you're trying it on everything lies flat without pocket lumps so you know the silhouette and you can unpick it if you want

Got you love !! ☺️☺️☺️
The second outfit with the beige pants and black T-shirt have me Ferris Bueller and clueless vibes ...big time

I think you would probably call those colors copper and congac. Can't believe you scored those boots second-hand ... What a find!
Omg I LOVE the metallic yellow tank 🤩 I love fall fashion cuz I love the warmer color palette (oranges, yellows, etc)!!
Okay spoke to soon I love allll the yellow items you got ☺️ I’m also obsessed with that color!
💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡🧡💛💛💛🧡🧡🧡
I’ve only seen docs once in all my thrifting years‼️I finally caved this week & ordered the Basquiat edition online 😍
My favorite fall trend is the teddy coats

That lace bodysuit on you looked sooooooo good!
I have been visiting this channel for one now and I love every fashion you've been posting you motivated me in having my fashion TV
You should make that yellow top like more edgy w your leather blazer and maybe black denim?
Cream pants and navy t-shirt totally giving me meg Ryan 90s vibe from you've got mail 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Being in 🇨🇦 , we are just starting into autumn. The tree leaves turn a red and yellow so yes that tank is dead on. Another great haul from the sunshine girl! 👍😊😷
Ahhhhhhh! So jealous 🍂🍂🍂🍂
That black lingerie style body suit outfit popped off hard 😍
I think they sew the pockets because they don’t want people putting their hands in there when they try on the clothes since it’s a fancier pant. It also keeps the pants looking fresh while they are still in the store 😊
I love that brown belt that you wear so often soooo much. Wish I had that 😅❤️❤️❤️
Haha it’s like the only belt I wear 😅😅 ah it’s amazing
O-M-G that outfit with the black lingerie top was incredible loveeeed it
The green sweater is super pretty!!I love the satin black top too!
When both Carrie and Alexa upload fall hauls but it's rainy season in your country 😭 loving the haulz ❤️✨

The skirt is rose gold ❤ love everything. You have perf taste in pants, I always wanna get the same ones 😂❤
