*COUGH COUGH*
*COUGH*
Hello
Hello, Bidgets
So I'm sick today
if you couldn't tell
And one thing that I know I love to do
that makes me feel better
Is thrift
So
I went to some places
and
lemme see how much I spent
$150
and there is a lot of things in here
so I would like to share them today before I pass out
*COUGH COUGH COUGH*
*cough*
today I have a combination of ginger, lemon
*inhale* and honey
it tastes disgusting
because I'm an Asian who hates ginger, fun fact
but I know that you've seen these videos
no shade to the people who do them
they spend like $500 or even $1,000
at Urban and all these expensive stores
when you can EASILY go to a thrift store
spend 1/5 the amount
and get the same amount of items
if not, more
and I managed to do that today
so lets just get into it
and if some people get offended when I say I'm cheap in the title
its just because
I don't want to pay that much as other people
I'm done online shopping and buying things full price
I would rather buy cheaper
I think everyone would
first
geez doing that just made me dizzy
so first I went to Plato's Closet
and one trick to get a discount right away is just to bring stuff in
If they take one of your items they're gonna give you a receipt,
and they also give you 10% off your order that day
so bring some stuff you don't need
This is from American Eagle
I got it for $8
It's just a short sleeve blue shirt that has a really cool pattern on it
it actually looks like a bunch of different Converse and those are my favorite shoes so
I needed this
And my sister actually told me to start buying these
and I've always wanted to, I just didn't know how to wear them
but she taught me, and I bought some suspenders
these were $4 at Goodwill
*COUGH COUGH*
and usually you pair them with button-ups
and for some reason, I've suddenly liked looking like a 40 year old man
in the 1980's
going to golf on a Sunday
in suburbia
and I have three children
something like that
Maybe I was born in the wrong generation, I don't know
but I like suspenders now
and you're gonna see me look like a dad
and you're gonna compliment it because I don't give a shit
I'm sick
Did I mention I bought two pairs of suspenders?
T hey have gold clips on them which I think is a good accent
and these ones just have like little black diamonds on them
and the blue ones have something that looks like a petal
they're cute
I'm gonna wear them that's all
While I'm at it, I got this belt from Goodwill
This was $2.99
and it's a women's belt but I've only had a yellow belt
and I really wanted a red one
In fact this looks exactly like the yellow one
so I'm really happy I found it
O kay last thing from Goodwill are these picture frames
the one was $2, and the other three were $3
I somehow found four matching ones all in a pile and no one wanted them
but I've been recently trying to decorate my office
and I did not want to pay full price for picture frames
So one trick my teacher taught me is to just buy picture frames from Goodwill that look the same
and just spray paint them black
and then they suddenly look new
it's an easy trick
so yea
that's all from Goodwill
Next up, I found these size 10 Vans
and I was really upset that they were size 10
because I would actually like to paint these
they're like an off-white
they're slightly pink
I don't know if you can even tell
but they were $20, aside from you know the usual $50 that you have to buy
and I think I'm gonna paint Starry Night on them because I'm bored so
you might see that as a video
Next up I got this Hollister hat for $6
It says "later beaches" on it
and I'm going to Florida for our senior trip so I wanted one
Here we have like a
it's a denim BDG jacket
and I got this for $12
and the thing is I've never really worn something of this color
Once again it fits the look of looking like a dad
I don't know
maybe I've finally reached that age
of wanting to look old cause I'm ready to die
But it's cute and it's from BDG, which is probably very expensive
I'm just going to assume that this was $80 at Urban
Okay this has the tag on it and I'm so proud of it
These were originally $44
I got these for $10
and the thing is I don't really wear shorts
I kinda have a fear of them because I hate the way my legs look
and if I'm gonna wear shorts, I'm gonna have shaved legs because I just hate- I hate having hair
I'm sorry I used to shave my legs when I was little
I saw my sister do it and I wanted to do it to and I'm so used to it now
I like feeling like a beluga whale
this is why you're watching me
for these types of comments
this is like a dark olive color
and there's just little white triangles on them and I really like the pattern
Then I guess the only reason I liked this is because if I saw this as a shirt pattern
I would 100% wear it
So that's what I'm going to wear on my shorts now
or I'll never take this out because I hate shorts still
This is from Old Navy
it's $6 it's a women's shirt
I was just casually strolling by the women's section
and I saw something yellow
and my brain went instantly went 'Frederic that belongs to you no matter what it is.'
and my brain was right
I mean it's just so cute
and It's $6 like what?
So I thought maybe I could tuck these into my shorts and it would look cute
I don't know if it does
I haven't tried them on
I'll see in the video
And the print on it is actually really good quality because it doesn't feel like it's going to chip anytime soon
and it smells like a little lady
I also thought this would pair well with the shirt I don't know if it does
but we'll see in the video
I got this for $8 it's from Mossimo
Mosimo? I'm sorry
and my sister found this for me
it's actually a women's shirt
But it's really thin so I could wear this in summer
and it has this little accent stripe on it which
I love stripes you all know that
But I thought it would just be a nice light jacket to put over any shirt
because it's really cute
this next shirt was $10
it's from the company 'Life Is Good'
but I thought this was one cute ass design that is 100% for winter
and I'm still gonna wear it in spring
it's a medium so it doesn't really fit me that well
but I'm fine with it because if you just tuck this in
no one really cares if you have over-sized sleeves
But you guys know I don't really wear green still
and this is close enough to green
so I'm just trying to expand
my fashion sense
And finally
one of my favorite things now
this is a Patagonia shirt
and I just want to look this up really quick because I know Patagonia is expensive as hell
I couldn't find the exact pullover because this is probably an old one
but it's a women's fleece pullover
and it's a size medium so it's a little big on me
but it's ROSE PRINTED
and my sister found it for me
and I was like oh my god I love you so much
I'm sorry I'm sick
It was just so cute when I got it
and I'm so excited
cause I can finally fit in as one of those girls who have Patagonia shirts
because
we all know they exist
and I never fit in
because I was not willing to pay over $100
for a fleece pullover
So that's everything
never mind, I have one more thing
Alright, so this is now my last item
I've always wanted to find things that are like
oh yeah Frederic would definitely wear this
and I've never really had that for shoes
because they're kinda basic
and men's shoes don't really come that interesting
if you couldn't tell
But I finally found shoes
This was the first item I saw when I walked in
because I always go for shoes
And the only reason I noticed these was because it just looked so fucking weird at first glance
I mean can you understand what these are?
Mind you, the shoelaces aren't as neat as they are right now
I spent an hour figuring out how to tie them
they're also a size seven, but
fortunately, I forced my feet to fit in them
And I'm still debating
whether or not these are hideous or just really trendy and cool
and I don't even know what to say like these are
are these double shoes? I don't know
I thought someone managed to shove two pairs of shoes together
because when I did this, there's the Converse sign on both of them
and I just tried to pull it out as hard as I could
and then I realized everything is doubled
but the sole itself
like even this flap right here
there's two flaps
They're very confusing to me. I don't understand them
but I really like them and I will try to wear them
They also take at least ten minutes to get in to
because you have to- there's so much to do
But yea I finally found like my shoe
and I'm going to be wearing this for a while
and if this gets damaged, I'm gonna scream because this was $8
That totaled up to around
$150 after taxes
So what I want you guys to learn from this
is that it is not hard to thrift
Trust me, if I can find something in a boring city,
in the boring state of New Jersey
you can find something anywhere else
but not maybe Kansas because
you're flat
But just try to go out more
like find thrift stores near you and
look through them
If you want me to make a video of how I thrift,
even though there's not really
''a tutorial" on that you just kinda have to get lucky
I will, but my one tip is
take your time
It took me three hours to do all of this
and please try on everything
even if it's something you think you might not like, try it
I originally put this back on the rack
and then suddenly my brain was like 'wait what am I thinking?'
So even if you're debating if you like it or not
just try it on because you might fall in love with it the moment you wear it
That is all I have for you guys today
