This was filmed almost a month ago, but I just wanted to give a reminder that I am not encouraging anyone to leave their house if it's unsafe. I am simply sharing what my experience is while thrifting during this time, which I don't personally feel 100% comfortable with it yet and I think that's important to share because we are still in a pandemic and nothing will be going back to normal for awhile. Please if you feel safe to go thrifting, take the proper precautions to keep yourself safe and also those around you. If you have a difference of opinion that's fine, you are entitled to that, but this is simply a video sharing my experience and not to go down a rabbit hole of arguing on what's wrong and what's right. I mention at the end of the video all the other ways you can thrift without leaving your house and the past few months I've done a bunch of alternatives to it 💛
Alexa Sunshine83 yeah I’m still very nervous about going out but I have some other health concerns so there’s that. I just think we should all still be cautious and it’s cool that you’re sharing 💕
Video idea: you should take one piece of clothing from your closet like a midi skirt or white pants and style it 5 or 6 different ways. I'm always trying to get more versatility out of my clothes and it would be cool to see how you'd style them in different ways!
I love how you’re going to thrift things you don’t have already or are unique pieces instead of getting a huge haul of things that you just kinda like!! It’s nice seeing how intentional you’re being😊 Loved your finds!!
Yes! Definitely from quarantine I’ve just been trying to take it slow and really think about each purchase versus being so excited and grabbing everything !
tbh I've been doing thrifting over Facebook Marketplace! Mostly furniture or home decor since I moved. I used Goodfair recently for some tie dye tees and sweatshirts. I miss going into thrift stores, but where there's a will, there's a way!
The best tip I have for thrifting with no dressing rooms is to bring a cloth measuring tape! If you know your general measurements it’s pretty quick to measure the waist or bust of something to see if it might work for you!
Alexa, you should carry wipes in a small zip lock bag. I do that and sanitize the carts before I place my hands on them .... plus I carry a smaller bottle of hand sanitizer as well.
I am not a thrifter or second hand clothes wearer for the most part, but I just enjoy watching because of your energy. And your ideas around clothes. Gives me a bit of inspiration to dig way back into my own closet for "treasures".
I just want to say (as a retail worker) that the fitting rooms are closed for a reason so PLEASE dont go anywhere with the intention of trying things on, even over your clothes, we're just trying to keep everyone safe :)
I'm with you on this conscious thrifting! I typically have a method of 'item comes in, item goes out', however I'm not SO strict on this as I understand that sometimes I actually need a certain item of clothing/I dont have anything like it/dont have much like it. If I tend to get a couple of items (like more than 5) in one visit, I'll try getting rid of at least 1 of my 'old' items of clothing
Believe it or not here in Niagara Falls Canada our Value Village is giving us 14 days to bring items back if they don’t fit because fitting rooms are not open.
You have inspired me so much to avoid shopping fast fashion! I made it my new year’s resolution to stop buying new clothes this year, and I think I’ve only broke that once or twice which is pretty good considering how much I used to shop. I’ve been saving so much money but thrifting for the first time this year felt sooo good
Thank you for taking this so seriously. I think you are the creator that is taking the most precautions (that I follow). Also, congrats on the wedding!!!
Thank you being considerate of others and yourself during this time. I know a lot of youtubers that are not wearing masks, hanging with their friends and going shopping. Thank you taking the problems a pandemic brings seriously while still pursuing your interests.
I went to one of my local Saver's the other day and had an amazing thrift trip. 😀😀I found a Disney Fantasia crewneck sweater for 4.49, but it was half off and I got it for $2.50. I also found some mens graphic tees and two pairs of jeans that actually fit me(the fitting rooms were closed so I tried everything on at home). I also missed the sounds of hangers screeching while I'm at the thrift store. 😅😅
alexa I swear the thrift stores in your area have so many gems! because you're pretty content with closet and consciously consuming(which is awesome!), you should consider thrifting clothes that are cute but you wouldn't wear and then resell them! :)
I just went to a goodwill outlet that opened up to source for my Depop and it honestly was a good experience- they required masks, had 1 way aisles, and only allowed one person per table (bin) which is kinda ideal for the bins anyways so you’re not fighting with anyone.
Can I just say thank you for being smart and safe. I’ve seen so many other youtubers pulling off their masks to talk to the camera. It’s nice to see somebody choosing to caption their video instead of taking the risk of removing their mask. I don’t know why more thrifters don’t use captions or voice overs instead of pulling their masks off in the store
That top you wore during the haul looks amazing on you! I remember when you got it but it really does suite you so well. And I’ve been looking for a chain necklace like you have for a while! Yours is adorable
I was so excited to go back thrifting! I went once or twice and it felt very odd. It was nice to not have dressing rooms because it helped me to really see if I actually liked the clothes I picked up. A little tip is to bring a measuring tape to get as close as you can to trying it on🤷🏼♀️
Our Goodwill's are open from 11:00 am until 7:00 pm. Masks required, limited customer count and no fitting rooms available. I thought it was very well managed.
A sweat shirt in May! Girl, here in Alabama I’d die! Im so ready for Fall already. Lol Loved your finds & totally get ya about those red pants. I thrifted a pair of pants like those in a teal color. They fit but are tight too. 🙃🙂🙃
I'm so happy to see these thrift store videos, they make my Sundays whole again ♥️ Can I also say that your accessories are always on point! I always take longer to find the right accessories for my outfit and you are literally my inspiration!! 😍
yes! thrifting is one of my favorite things to do, its so so much better than going to a mall or something bc its cheaper & also no one else has what u have lol
hey alexa! love the vid, as usual :) just a suggestion: you could bring around a tape measure (one of the retractable sewing ones) and measure the items you would be interested in to see if they would fit you. This way, it would be decently similar to shopping online on depop/posh. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Everything is almost back to normal at our country, everything is open now, we just need to be fewer people. I think its too soon, but at least our thrift shops are open :D very nice findes, always happy to see a video from you :)
when you first showed the cat tank top when you came into goodwill I gasped😂 (crazy cat lady problems) also that forever 21 shirt is GORGEOUS! awesome haul and love how you are being conscious about going out and what you are buying☺️
This store has a great selection, have a lot goodwills here (AZ) but no one this good :( . Last time when I went to Cali, I found only small ones, was really disappointed ...btw I like the red pants
I think it’s adorable that Alexa can’t say words with “ing”. Her personality and style makes me smile so much and her silliness reminds me that she’s a normal person just like me
I've been wanting to go thrifting again so badly but I'm scared because people in my area don't take the pandemic seriously. But I'm gonna try it today and wash everything I get as soon as I get home!
before the pandemic in like February I thrifted red tailored pants from one of my local second hand shops in Australia they're my favourite pair of pants to wear.
I have a video idea/suggestion. If you know someone who is plus size, maybe size 18 or up, you could thrift clothes for them and have them model the clothes. I really enjoy your videos, I think you have a fun, bubbly personality and I like your style. However, I wear everything from size 16 to size 20, and as much as I like your style, there are a lot of things that I can't even find in my size.
I miss the old background like bed and hats. It was just cute ans cozy looking. Glad ur thrifting again tho, it is hard to go now. I went the other day and i couldnt breathe properly so it made it less fun :( these times are stressful. My anxiety is bad as well
Wait, you already got married? Saw it in the comments here today! Congratulations, how exciting! So happy for you guys 🥰 Sadly, I don’t have an Instagram account so I haven’t been able to see the photos or posts yet ! 💕

stay safe alexa lovelots❤️
Your mask is cute! Did you make it?
Alexa Sunshine83 yeah I’m still very nervous about going out but I have some other health concerns so there’s that. I just think we should all still be cautious and it’s cool that you’re sharing 💕
I’ve left my house & its been great! Just be wise & you’ll be fine. Ppl need to get out. It’s not healthy.
Hi! Have you linked your necklace? I love it

ughh does anyone miss thrifting like A LOT??
I feel THAT
tbh I've been doing thrifting over Facebook Marketplace! Mostly furniture or home decor since I moved. I used Goodfair recently for some tie dye tees and sweatshirts. I miss going into thrift stores, but where there's a will, there's a way!
Ours has opened and I’ve gone twice. I definitely missed it!
yes so much! the shops are open but Im kind of still keeping a distance!
All the time
The best tip I have for thrifting with no dressing rooms is to bring a cloth measuring tape! If you know your general measurements it’s pretty quick to measure the waist or bust of something to see if it might work for you!
The blue shirt is STUNNING
you should do a “come thrifting with me: wedding decor” !! i know you’re not having a traditional wedding but i’d still love to see your taste!
the red pants would look amazing with the black leather blazer
Yes! That’d be amazing !
5:32 Alexa that top you’re wearing is absolutely breathtaking on you !!!!!!!
Alexa, you should carry wipes in a small zip lock bag. I do that and sanitize the carts before I place my hands on them .... plus I carry a smaller bottle of hand sanitizer as well.

I just want to say (as a retail worker) that the fitting rooms are closed for a reason so PLEASE dont go anywhere with the intention of trying things on, even over your clothes, we're just trying to keep everyone safe :)
100%, even if they were open I wouldn’t go in
@@alexasunshine83 oh I totally believe ya! there's just a lot of people who go shopping that aren't as kind, sadly!

Oh how interesting! How cool
My thrift stores in Pensacola are doing the same for store credit.
You have inspired me so much to avoid shopping fast fashion! I made it my new year’s resolution to stop buying new clothes this year, and I think I’ve only broke that once or twice which is pretty good considering how much I used to shop. I’ve been saving so much money but thrifting for the first time this year felt sooo good
Not only did you pull off the red pants...I think that was my favorite piece. I swear you can make any style look great!
Thank you for taking this so seriously. I think you are the creator that is taking the most precautions (that I follow). Also, congrats on the wedding!!!
Thank you being considerate of others and yourself during this time. I know a lot of youtubers that are not wearing masks, hanging with their friends and going shopping. Thank you taking the problems a pandemic brings seriously while still pursuing your interests.
I can't wait until this pandemic is over so I can spend hours upon hours just thrifting my heart out
I feel you !

Omg that’s insane !!!!!!
Haha the screeching hangers sound is just pure bliss after not hearing it for months

That first blue top is DREAMY 💙🥺
💙💙💙💙💙

I’m so proud of how much you are branching out with your style!! It inspires me to do the same ☺️
Just heard Big Yellow Taxi at work today & here on your video. One of those old 'feel good' songs I'll always love (:
Ok. Those red pants look AMAZING!
❤️❤️❤️
when you picked up that red pretty more formal dress it just gave me lady bird vibes when her and her mom are thrifting her prom dress ☺️
That top you wore during the haul looks amazing on you! I remember when you got it but it really does suite you so well. And I’ve been looking for a chain necklace like you have for a while! Yours is adorable
Congratulations on your marriage! ♥️❤️
When everyone in the comment section misses thrifting and you don’t even have thrift stores in your area 😂
The light blue would be so cute with a sleeveless dress or overalls over it!
I was so excited to go back thrifting! I went once or twice and it felt very odd. It was nice to not have dressing rooms because it helped me to really see if I actually liked the clothes I picked up. A little tip is to bring a measuring tape to get as close as you can to trying it on🤷🏼♀️
If you need a quarantine craft you could embroider something cute on the plain blue top!
Our Goodwill's are open from 11:00 am until 7:00 pm. Masks required, limited customer count and no fitting rooms available. I thought it was very well managed.
That b&w polkadot top is an absolute gem. Very cute.
Yes ! Loving it !
That shirt you had on for the try on haul part was so cute! You look so good in the puff sleeve shirts! ❤️
the outfit with the red pants... yassss girl

The white blouse is so pretty!

That baby blue top from Forever 21 was a STEAL. I need it. 😭💕
Wow, you found some really cute little things! Congrats on getting married 👰🏼✨
hey alexa! love the vid, as usual :)
just a suggestion: you could bring around a tape measure (one of the retractable sewing ones) and measure the items you would be interested in to see if they would fit you. This way, it would be decently similar to shopping online on depop/posh.
Thanks for the awesome vid!
Yay!! It’s a sunshiny Sunday 🥰
I love the shirt your wearing! That print with the shirring.
Thank you love !!
I miss going thrifting! My closet feels so empty 😂

Goodwill actually has very good standards implemented here in New England. I'm impressed with their responsibility at this time.

Yes! I actually did one: ruclips.net/video/xzo_e7ftXwU/видео.html
This store has a great selection, have a lot goodwills here (AZ) but no one this good :( . Last time when I went to Cali, I found only small ones, was really disappointed ...btw I like the red pants

I think it’s adorable that Alexa can’t say words with “ing”. Her personality and style makes me smile so much and her silliness reminds me that she’s a normal person just like me
I love your necklace, beautiful! Where did you get it? ☺💛
I've been wanting to go thrifting again so badly but I'm scared because people in my area don't take the pandemic seriously. But I'm gonna try it today and wash everything I get as soon as I get home!

The polka dot shirt would look cute with the red pants!
those red pants are so cool i literally did the surprised pikachu face when you pulled them out
😹😹
I’m jealous. My goodwills or savers never really have any good clothing pieces so I rely on depop
Me singing: "alexa sunshine83 it's always sunny here BoOp" *eherm* "bOoOp" "BOOP" yeah hit the right note.
Sis:🙄🙄🙄🙄
I miss the old background like bed and hats. It was just cute ans cozy looking. Glad ur thrifting again tho, it is hard to go now. I went the other day and i couldnt breathe properly so it made it less fun :( these times are stressful. My anxiety is bad as well
Wait, you already got married? Saw it in the comments here today! Congratulations, how exciting! So happy for you guys 🥰
Sadly, I don’t have an Instagram account so I haven’t been able to see the photos or posts yet ! 💕
Where did you get that shirt from the haul part? It is stunning!! 😍 watching you from France 🇫🇷 xx
Okay but when you put that first top on I just wanted to do a full on photo shoot of you in it, it’s gorgeous!!
😅😅😅😅
My fav girl! U deserve a million subs! 💖💖 tc love u!
you should totally use those red pants to do a disney bound!
