    also love that I said every pair of jeans has a memory and for half I'm like "idk when I thrifted these.." 🤦🏼‍♀

      They all have a memory, you just don't have the memories 😅

    • @pudgylemon4640
      @pudgylemon4640 11 месяцев назад

      The memories are in the wears not when you thrifted them. I know I have pieces in my closet that I can’t remember when or where I got them. But I’ll remember if I wore them on a first date, on a trip with a friend, or on a note worthy occasion.

      Alexa I absolutely adore your beautiful jeans collection! They fit you perfectly. I’m sorry I’m so late to this video but I have been OBSESSED with jeans since I was a teen and have had every shape rise length and wash under the sun!! I’ve been thrifting vintsge 80s and 90s jeans including CK/guess/ Levi’s / jordache/ nada nuff, contempo casual, Nine West, bongo, lawman (you might like those if you like Rocky Mountain) MUDD, Skoozi, Armani, Ralph Lauren and wherever else catches my eye. I couldn’t afford most of these back in the day so I’m having fun finding them for extremely affordable prices now! I refuse to pay crazy prices plus Abercrombie is selling reproductions of the jeans we are thrifting which is giving me such a thrill to have the “real thing”. 🩵👖

    In an era of athleisure, I feel like it’s a superpower to gravitate towards quality denim. I personally feel so much more comfortable in any pair of Paige or Citizens of Humanity than any pair of leggings. And I instantly feel more confident and put together. Bonus that they’re incredibly easy to find at thrift stores; you just have to sift through thousands of Old Navy and Universal Threads.

  • @esther5636
    @esther5636 11 месяцев назад +5

    for anyone uncomfortable with knowing their measurements due to the numbers, use a string! Knot or label the string for different measurements ( waist, inseam, rise). Alternatively, I know my waist measurement on my arm, so if i grab hold of the waist of a pair of trousers and keep my wrist stretched the waist needs to reach a certain amount past my elbow crease. The arm trick helps if you're forgetful and with the way jeans are normally hung at the thriftstore you can generally do this rough measurement without even taking the trousers of the rack. ♥hope this helps someone

    I just thrifted a pair of jeans from the brand Rag and Bone (a pricey British brand) for only 6.59! One of my best finds this year.

    I absolutely love straight leg, thick, vintage-feeling denim with a very high rise. I loved when high rise jeans came back in because I was totally scarred from low rise jeans. I just feel really secure when I wear high rise jeans! I really love straight cut styles and I have a few pair of baggy jeans that just really make me so happy because they are so comfy. My favorite denim will always be a high-rise flare because I feel like every body type looks good in flare, however if you're a short girl like me flares can be hard to wear unless you're wearing heels too. For your DIY Levis, I am 98% sure a tailor can fix what you did. It was a good try.

  • @emmy8526
    @emmy8526 11 месяцев назад +5

    Love a collection review!
    When sewing denim, be sure to get a denim machine needle, usually labelled as 100 thickness. They need to be thicker and stronger to deal with the dense fabric and layers. Protective eyewear is always a good idea as well. Finally, use a (rubber) hammer to smush down any too-thick seams before sewing them.
    It was your first try at resizing, give yourself grace! There’s always a learning curve. But the tailors usually do a good job as well.

    I definitely love the softer denim. 😂
    I had one pair of thick denim jeans and it was a no for me.

    I don’t know what it is but I love jeans so much !! And I’ve been loving that everything yet nothing is on trend so I can go from 1970s dark blue tight jeans to ultra baggy light wash button fly or super low rise flares and everything is cool!! I’m also starting to enjoy 100% cotton stiffer denim that holds your body shape too! I wear jeans based on outfit occasion weather and how my body feels that day.

    i really love your jeans collection, as part of my "work uniform" we get jeans pants, they are soo bad. When i visit the US I always go to the trift and find amazying jeans that i can wear for work/ I work more than 10 hours a day the jeans needs to be comforable and fit just right

    @saraluckhardt3927 11 месяцев назад +9

    Loved this video - if you ever want to do more collections videos that would be amazing! I love seeing people's favorite pieces in their wardrobe. I wear a lot of vintage Men's jeans because I have slim hips, and I find a lot of vintage Women's jeans get wider at the hips for curvier people. A Men's cut is slimmer in the hips and fit me better. Do you only own Women's jeans or do you have any Men's in there too?

    I’m not sure if this is just me, but a trick that works for me is wrapping the waist around my neck. If the two sides touch it should fit. All of the pants I’ve used this method with fit me PERFECTLY.

    I only own 4 pairs of jeans. 3 are black and one is dark blue.
    Your Zena jeans remind me a little of my FAV jeans from 1986.
    They were mostly the color of your Lee jeans, but behind the front pockets they were gray. There were also small pockets at the knee (not cargo pockets) that had gray behind them. In '86, tight rolling was BIG. Growing up short, I had to cuff ALL of my jeans (I may have a little until I found these. They were meant to be 7/8 length, and they fit me beautifully and ended just above the ankle. I wore them often.

    I don't know why this works, but it does! Take the jeans and wrap the waist band around your neck. If it fits around your neck, it will fit around your waist when you try them on. Cuts down for me what I even bother to try on.

    It's nice to be able to chose from all those cool pairs of jeans.

    14:30 Jeans are almost impossible to sew on a machine unless you have a special needle and an industrial machine. The jeans are actually really cute on you--if I were you I'd pull the stitches out and sew them back together by hand. If you overlapped the two halves they would lie flat and yes, it'd look like a diy--but it already does and sometimes that kind of thing looks cool.
