COMMON QUESTIONS:
How old are you (were you born in '83)? I was born august 3rd 1994 (currently 25), the "83" in alexasunshine83 is for 08/03-83! Basically alexasunshine was taken 😬
Why do you thrift? To stop my consumption of fast fashion due to the horrible treatment of workers and the negative environmental impact of waste fast fashion produces. I recommend the documentary The True Cost 👍🏻

"If I'm taking my pants off- it better be worth it." Had me screamingggg
This is my new saying now
Just to let you know Alexa, when I resize my jeans, I take them in from the sides, that way you don't lose the back belt loop, and it's much more comfortable when you take a little from each side. Just taper it down like you would if you were sewing in a dart. Then cut off the extra fabric, and zig-zag sew the loose edges of the denim so it does not fray....It works perfectly for me!
That's what I do too! In case anyone is checkin out my butt, I don't want the back seam to look altered or funky lmao
I think it’s crazy when you guys go thrifting and don’t even try something on and they fit perfectly. I can’t even find jeans that fit when I try them on lol. I miss thrifting so much. It was something my mom and I used to do all the time. I also LOVE the Zena jeans that have the embroidery or coloring. Literally love
pugs910 same!!!
Aw man I miss thrifting 😂 I had a dream last night that I went to Goodwill 😅
KtRosemary I’ve had 3 dreams in the past month that I’ve gone to thrift stores 😢
I can imagine Alexa leaving all the wedding dresses behind and getting a Britney Spears Denim dress for her wedding.
Nada Aouine tbh I thought that dress was actually cool, even though it made its way on all the “cringiest outfits celebs wore in the early ‘00s” articles. I wouldn’t wear it to my wedding, but I still thought it was cool
Just wanted to say that although buying from Levi’s isn’t as sustainable as thrifting obviously. Levi’s has done a lot of things to make themselves a sustainable brand and even on their website they tell everyone to buy secondhand, reuse and recycle their product, and much more. In terms of buying new jeans, a place like Levi’s is a really great option and for the price they are also very good cause of how long they last. They cut down their water use and a bunch of other things to make their jeans.
I love that !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When a jean fits perfectly on my tights and butt, but big on my waist, one thing I do is, I sew a thick elastic on the back and it cinch the waist. There are many youtube tutorials that show this.
"if you want low rise.. i mean WHY" lmaoooo meee i could never wear low rise again!
Hahaha I can’t imagine wearing low rise now 😅
you're fav jeans are my dream to find!!! i think i'm going to try and alter different thrifted jeans to make them fit like yours cause the ones you have are the ideal fit!
Love your collection! I started looking for “real” mom jeans because of you! So far I have found a few pairs I really enjoy wearing. Real denim just looks so much better than the thin stretchy kind!
Really???? Omg yes !!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👖👖👖
I've been thrifting for about a year and a half and up until early March I had never been able to thrift jeans. However, I couldn't believe my luck when I eventually found a pair of Levi's and some Zara mom jeans both within a week of each other!
alexa: so if i'm going to take my pants off, then it'd better be worth it.
me: that's what she said.
Carlota Fdez-Palacios De Simone totally heard that in a Michael Scott voice 😂
Your denim collection is everything ❤ and I so appreciate your thrifting and styling tips even though my options are a little more limited due to where I am in the world and my curvier bodytype. But it's youtube channels like yours that have inspired me to love denim more, through showing your own style evolutions, the different denim options available and how to style them etc.
I've always had such bad experiences with denim growing up. My hips developed first like 3 years before I ever got my first period even (sorry if tmi lol) and this meant I had to wear women's sizes before anyone else at like 10 years old, so my mum would always have to hem them cos they'd be too long lmao.
I basically used to associate jeans with horrible fitting room experiences and feeling like my fat ass was so out of the norm I just shouldn't wear jeans at all. I think from age 16 to age 22 I just gave up and literally never wore jeans. I wore mainly skirts, dresses and flowy shorts or at most culottes lol. Now I have at least a couple pairs of jeans that I love and even though they are fast fashion, I've had them for about 3 years now and they're in great shape and I plan to continue to look after them so I can wear them for another 5/10 years.
I don't know if I have ever come across high waisted Jeans in the charity shops we get here as of yet, but dammit I will never stop looking lmao. Here's hoping this crisis subsides so I can continue my search! Also I ordered an embroidery kit recently so I'm hoping sometime in the future I'll be good enough at it that I can revamp a couple of denim pieces too...
Route 66 is the old Kmart brand ! Who would’ve thought they would be considered great quality despite the store having disappeared
I've never been here so early!
A crazy short blizzard just hit here in Ottawa Canada last night, spring was springing but then BAM snow and now its -14 Celsius here suddenly 😭 at least it's also a sunny day so that makes it better! Gloomy days no matter the temperature are bleh 😂 anyway the point of that was that anytime I see a post from you it always brightens any grey days 💛
Thank you for the denim themed video! Every time I hear you say how much denim you own I always think hmm you should make a whole video dedicated to it haha
Perfect timing! I was just thinking that once this is all over, I'm going to a trip to find the perfect jeans for me!
The colorful ones are definetly my favorite
I love your jeans but I think I get more excited to see how you'll style them. You have such excellent taste as far as I'm concerned. You always pull together such cute looks. I absolutely love your bubbly personality. It lifts my mood immensely watching your videos. I'm always impressed with the quality of what you do. ❤👍👍
last time i was this early, people were still able to do thrift with me videos
eventually, i want my jeans collection to look this great!
Aww you seem so excited and happy making this video! It shows that’s how denim makes you feel ❣️
It was so fun 😭😭😭😭😭
Currently trying to improve the jeans selection in my wardrobe haha. You have been very helpful and inspiring in this endeavor! Thank you :)
Those flame pocket black jeans are 🙌, amazing collection Alexa!
I've never seen one of your videos so early lol! I found your videos a couple of months ago and I think I've watched every one of your videos since then haha. You just have such good energy and your style is so amazing!! I just love you so much!!
If you look for a place that carries super high waisted in lots of lengths, American Eagle is great, they're highest rise is 12 inches which is amazing, and they have a ton of sizes too!
The flame jeans are so fire!! 🔥
I just did a thrift store flip video on some vintage Levi’s I have. I love thrifted clothes especially vintage jeans! Yours are so cool.
Dang I can’t wait to get to go out and thrift jeans !
Those flared flame jeans are BOMB!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
omg i was literally multitasking playing sims while watching this and wearing jeans lol
You should do your all time favorite thrift finds! Your top gems you’ve found/already have!
Yes!! Definitely will be !!
Omg the flame jeans are my favourite ones! So cool 🤩
The Zena colorful jeans from House of Vintage are my faveeee 💘🙌🏼
I love the Forever 21 jeans and the Zena jeans.
Love this video! Such good denim inspiration :)
The black outfit is amazing on youuuuuuuu
When I was super fit I was really into low rise, that changed quickly as I put on weight lol
"I mean if you wanna a low rise...WhY??"
That second pair is just... stunning... 😍😩
Alexa your videos are saving my life in this hard time. Thank you so much ❤️❤️ hugs from Argentina
A little late today but I'm still here 🖤 love your videos! They've been making quarantine so much easier
Awwww appreciate you!!
I should be watching some Cloe Ting’s workout now 😂♥️
I looved your jean collection! I hope to see your denim jacket collection now!!
I love this video!!! I totally understand your love of Jean's. I have a very LARGE denim jeans collection 😬 Some are 30+ yrs old.....all in excellent condition. It's hard to say my very very favorite....although my Calvin Klein button fly & Levi's 501 button fly....are probably my two favorites....they are from 1997.
My last thrift in February I bought a pair of Vintage with new tags...never worn high waisted Rockies Jean's with pleats in the front for $3. I don't know what they were thinking letting them go for that. And a Tory Burch pair of Jean's in a bunch of crazy colors $3.
Now you have me wanting to get out all my Jean's and try them on. No joke...I probably have 60+ pair of jeans 😬 I would not be surprised if there is 100 pair. I'm going to count today!!
I loved my rocky mountain jeans they flatter your butt makes you look good
Thanks for keeping us all smiling.🙂
💛 thank you for watching !!!
@@alexasunshine83 💛
Your make up looks great! You are the denim queen
Love the background and set up of this video! ❤
Thanks love !! 💛
I love that you play sims! We need a play with me video or a story lines video
please post more on depop or poshmark your style is literally my inspiration!
Soon!
YOU PLAY SIMS!? THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY I'm playing sims as I watch this, I'm so curious about your story lines!
HECK YES!!!! It’s my favorite thing haha
Totally feel you on the long leg issue... regular length jeans fit as cropped jeans and then cropped length jeans are a different story 😬
“Denim ,denim ,denim ... denim ,denim ,denim” Mario music 🎶😂💕
😅😅😅
That's the comment I was looking for 👍
Your Denim Enthusiasm is contagious...
👖👖👖👖
Yay! Thanks Alexa! Loved this video😊
I use to buy all my jeans from pac sun or urban (when I had enough money) because I thought they were the best brand to go to for jeans, but I realized that I never really wore the jeans I bought because I didn't like how they fit me. One day I realized that the only pair of jeans I wore daily were a pair I thrifted from goodwill. Now all my jeans are thrifted from depop and goodwill lol.
FYI Vintage LL bean jeans are the best!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Alexa ! I think it would be super cool if u could do a vid in which u show ur fave thrift finds xx
👌🏼👌🏼 coming soon!!
@@alexasunshine83 yayy
Watching this makes me so happy, but a little sad. Happy because I can't wait to have such an amazing collection of denim thrifted jeans like this. Sad because I can't go thrifting to find amazing jeans that I can one day have stories about .
Those wanglers with no pockets look so good with that shirt! I wish I had a shirt like that
I loved my wranglers with no pockets gives you a great fit
Honestly loved this video, Alexa. My favorite ones are the Wranglers (the one without pockets) and those from Oregon!
Ah both I love so much!
Also thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️
I mean your style is just everything❤ Xx
What a cool collection! Love your style, you really got me into thrifting!! x
Early! I love your vids so much ❤️❤️❤️
I loved the 3rd pair.
I wish I could wear jeans I live in a very humid area so it just gets to hot and the first pair of jeans are my fav jeans out of all of them 💛💛💛
😭😭😭😭 dark heat!
Alexa Sunshine83 ikr when I get older I want to move to a much colder place where it snows
I just found you and I love it! I often feel like fashion bloggers are either size 0 to 4 or size 12 and up, really appreciate seeing someone more petite with a look I can relate to Ps. All bodies are good bodies ofcourse but it's always nice to feel represented :)
Alexa, Are you in a TV furniture commercial playing right now?? Might have been Rooms to Go. Looks just like you!
this new setup literally makes it feel like you moved houses haha
Haha naw just a different room 😅 I wish I could move right now though
You have the best energy and are so sweet!
I love wide straight leg jeans
🙌🏼
For those colorfull jeans you could add an elastic to the waist either on the sides or just where the tag is
Is silk cool? I have wanted to post a couple mystery vintage scarf boxes, potentially for shirt thrift flips. I love a good denim&silk moment.
I have a feeling the Route 66 ones are in youth size Alexa XD
edit: AHAHAHAHA Alexa your thought process on "happened to find a good pair of jeans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" LOL XD
Also, as someone who has tested the neck waist trick, I feel I should point out that this technically works in that it tells you whether the waist will fit or not BUT not exactly...
What I mean by this is that if you're neck testing a pair of mom jeans, the rise (the height of the waist on you, which is measured from the crotch to the waist of the pants, so low-rise, high rise...) will likely be 10-11-12'' high, which means that the waist you're measuring on the pants falls on the smaller waist (the area where the so called ideal hourglass figure is smallest = >
Love you & all your jeans 🥺💜
I always wear yoga shorts thrifting so I can try the jeans on over them if I can’t pop into the dressing room, def recommend
playing sims in a comfy sweater is living the best life.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Just wondering, where do you get your dainty necklaces? I’ve been wanting to add some into my wardrobe☺️
i could only dreammm of finding a pair of pants that fit like the second pair you showed😭 those are PERFECTTTT!! it’s so hard finding my size at the thrift store tho :(
Those red flames flared pants make you look so fresh! Love that! 💚 🌸
Wait but at 5:16 YOU LOOK GOOD GIRL. 😻 Also, PSA: The one and only time I ever bought jeans from Forever21, they shrunk and faded so quickly. The jeans I own now (not from Forever21), I have had for years. 😊👖
I love all your jeans and shirts and everything!!!!you should do like a jean merch lol 😂please I love you wardrobe So much!!!!
Seriously !! 👖👖👖
love your collection so much
My husband hates mom jeans. But i love them. Lol!
😅😅😅
I pretty much only wear high rise, except for the Levi's "tilt" style which they don't make anymore 😭
6:30 love it!!
hi!! oh my gosh! you're so pretty!
💛💛💛💛
I love your collection!!!! 💛🌸
Hi again im always watching yur videos❤
2:10 my senior quote 😂
👏🏻😅
for resizing jeans, I always put an elastic at the waist band (the waist band on jeans are typically double layered so i just cut an opening to feed the elastic through)!! I always have the problem where jeans only fit on my hips and not my waist so it helps a lot😂
Yes! That’s sooo smart!
I do this a lot.
I love your plaid crop top!
new levi 501s are good too
Flare Anchor Blue jeans, they are more Flame jeans! I love the upcycle! :)
Okay wait my birthday is August 3rd! I didn’t realize until I read your description.
Omg! Twins!
Im embroidering flowers into a denim skirt of mine right now! (:
jean heaven!!
My favorite pair of jeans are lee’s and I got them for $0.89!! They were on sale and really cheap because there was a patch on the knee, so I distressed them. Ugh this has me missing thrifting even more 😩
Those Route 66 jeans that are a 16 are actually kids sizing..and Kmarts brand.
👌🏼👌🏼
Yes route 66 are kmart brand..love them
You should do a vintage crew neck collection video 😍
Try gap long shorts,they are amazing. They are out at the moment.but are great..
You are the denim queen
👖👖👖👖💛💛💛
