hey guys and welcome to surprise
surprise another thrift haul who would
have guessed it on this channel normally
in this part of the video I do a little
like self-deprecating bit about how my
life is falling apart and I'm a complete
mess and I'm low-key depressed and I
pride myself to sleep but honestly like
I'm feeling [ __ ] great right now
I took a weekend off for the first time
in a very long time I went to the beach
with David and I literally did not check
my phone for like eight hours which is
not that crazy of a feat but god dammit
I have not done that in a very long time
sorry I thought isn't the hashtag
relatable teen content you wanted but no
I feel really good right now and I
thought I'd share that with you guys
because it can be so exhausting to feel
like you have to be angsty and angry at
the world all the time just to be
relatable on the internet so anyways I
have a lot of clothing to share with you
guys this isn't even like half of it as
always I have a bunch of stuff to show
you guys from like normal physical
thrift stores because they are popping
here in LA but I get so many comments
that are like you are so lucky to live
in LA where do you thrift because my
thrift stores kind of suck so I thought
I would try out the wonders of the
Internet we're gonna take a ride on the
Internet and today our destination is
the World Wide Web
so grab your surfboards internauts we're
gonna hang 10
and use the online thrifting as well
this is a part in the video where I
don't flash you guys my address so that
I don't get stalked by creepy guys who
watch my videos this is the part in the
video where I say this is sponsored by
threat which is basically like a thrift
store but online and I'm Ashley so
excited to work with this company to be
honest like most of the time I get
really nervous
I hate filming the sponsored part of
videos because I just feel like such a
sellout but I think threat up is like
genuinely really good company that you
guys will like I know it can be so hard
and demoralizing if you in here thrift
stores that are just not pop in like I
have looked through enough forever21
shirts from the early 2000s in my day
and I don't want any of them or if you
just want another option for clothing
that is sustainable and affordable
because also like sustainable clothing
so if I can expensive like I've done
Reformation hauls and stuff where
everything was like $100 $200 so this is
a great option for stuff that's like $15
but equally sustainable it's not more
because it's all secondhand am I making
sense I don't know let me just show you
guys what I got okay oh well I know I'm
holding the box the first thing is that
I actually got was at the outfit that
I'm wearing right now which I was gonna
try bottling this sitting down for you
guys but I think I'm just gonna slash
all of you so cut to the separate
modeling clips now so first up I picked
up these corduroy overalls which I
really love because I've had denim
overalls in the past but they've always
felt a little bit too farm girl for me
so I like that the corduroy is a little
bit more of a luxurious wintery fabric
and it makes the overalls feel more
grown-up these ones are from Urban
Outfitters pretty much everything I got
from Fred up is like originally from
Urban Outfitters which I love because
you guys know I'm the biggest Urban
Outfitters ho of all time to be honest
when I went on thredUP site I literally
just sorted by Urban Outfitters and my
sizes and that was like everything that
I've looked for because they know how to
make a good design Oh a tip when you're
online thrifting even though I'm very
new to the whole online thrifting thing
is to think about when you're searching
for brands what brands age well so even
though Urban Outfitters is a little bit
trendy I feel like overall get it cuz
it's like overall but overalls are what
I'm talking about
okay back to the video they have a kind
of vintage aesthetic that ages a little
bit better than something like forever
21 which is like very
very trendy and in the moment everything
I bought was probably from urban like
three or four years ago but I still
think that it looks really cute nowadays
but the estimated original price for
these overalls was $60 and I got them
for $14 which is such a steal and I also
got this turtleneck to layer underneath
which i think is like the perfect
turtleneck this one is from a brand
called classics NTA it's a French are
helping me with croissants right now
that was awful but it is some type of
vintage brand the turtleneck is the
perfect height so I don't have to fold
it over but it does hug my neck quite
well it has this lovely ribbing pattern
I love how it has like a little chevron
design around the armpit - I love basics
that have little details to them and
it's 100% silk so bushi is [ __ ] don't
know when I'm gonna get the time to dry
clean this but for the meantime I am
loving it so the estimated original
retail was 321 dollars what the [ __ ]
that's an expensive turtleneck but I got
it for $40 so a little bit on the pricey
side for something thrifted but you guys
know I am a ho for vintage pieces and
especially for quality basics that are
gonna last me so long this is now my
favorite layering turtleneck by the way
it has come to my attention that
layering a turtleneck under dresses is
like my new thing or at least people
think it is because I was on the phone
with one of my friends from high school
and he said his girlfriend's friend was
layering a turtleneck underneath her
dress because of me you guys don't give
a [ __ ] it was a nice a nice little
compliment and I'm glad that it's
catching on next up I got this little
leopard skirt from ecoute I believe is
how you say it and it's a brand that
Urban Outfitters carries so you already
know that I love it the estimated
original price was $45 and I got it for
$9 I think it's so funny because this
skirt was probably from like 2005 I
don't know the last time that leopard
print mini skirts were on trend and then
leopard print leant out of trend and
somebody donated it and now I own it and
it's exactly on trend again I know it's
cool that's something that was
originally pretty fast fashion has now
gone through multiple lifetimes okay
this is getting too deep anyways I
thought this skirt was really cute and I
actually wore this skirt with this
turtleneck to a Smashbox event it was
like a very fancy event where people
wearing thousands of dollars worth of
designer things but I just had my [ __ ]
$10 skirt and my thrifted turtleneck and
I thought I was pretty [ __ ] fly - does
anybody say fly anymore
maybe I'm just exposing how lame I am
also bonus this skirt has pockets which
we all know is a godsend because there's
something so comforting about being able
to put your phone in one pocket your
wallet in another pocket and then roam
free in the world without a purse the
next thing I got is this little flowy
blue dress from kamiki blue which is one
of the really fancy prints that they
sell at Urban Outfitters that I always
wanted to buy when I was in high school
but I never had enough money - so the
estimated original price for this was 98
dollars and I got it for 25 spicy
dollerinos I am always a sucker for a
simple flirty wrap dress because so much
of my wardrobe is kind of constricting
like I have high-waisted jeans I have
body con dresses and eventually you just
get tired of sucking your stomach in and
being boa constrictor by stretch denim
so I have a couple of wrap dresses and
they're always my go-to for days that I
want to look cute but I don't really
want to put that much effort into my
outfit I want to be comfortable I want
to let the winds flow up to my vagina
that was too much information and the
last thing that I got from thredUP
looks okay also from Urban Outfitters
there's definitely a theme going on here
this is an oversized denim jacket with
some nice a contrast stitching
originally this would have cost around
$60 and I got it for 16 one 660 and 16
it's a bit of a tongue twister but 16
dollars for a denim jacket I thought
that was a pretty dang diddly darn good
price if I may say so myself I also
appreciate that the wash is a very flat
it's dark it's kind of classic and
understated which contrasts well with
the more casual oversized silhouette
because if this was like light wash and
distressed everywhere it would feel a
little bit too trendy for more for me
and that's not the look that I'm going
for even though it's January I live in
LA so right now it's like 75 during the
day and then it gets down to maybe 60 at
night so a denim jacket is like the
perfect layering piece normally during
the day I'll wear like a flirty little
dress and then at night time I can throw
this over it makes it more casual it
also keeps me a little bit warm but it
makes sure that I don't look like I'm
trying too hard because I'm always like
trying so hard I am the definition of a
try-hard that just like is my
personality
but pieces like this make me look a
little bit more casual so that is
everything that I got from fret up
I honestly think they are a great
company doing great things for
sustainable fashion if you guys want to

alrighty oh now on to my other thrift
finds so first up I got these blue
floral Doc Martens which aren't so
[ __ ] funky and I was just so excited
to find Doc's in a thrift store because
I feel like most people have a very
intense relationship with their dog
Barton's you know like you save up for
them you buy them and then you are
hanging on to those babies for your
entire life you know normally I'm not
like the biggest fan of buying shoes and
thrift stores because sometimes it can
be weird to have your feet hanging out
with somebody else's old feet sweat but
at least look pro with Doc Martens is
that these are already broken in for me
so my feet are gonna be very grateful
because okay this is gonna get a little
bit foot feta cheese for a second but
look at this [ __ ] like my feet are so
beat-up from my other dogs these boots
obviously have a wall going on but I was
specifically thinking about pairing them
with a white flowy feminine dress I
don't know I love that like the print is
feminine and fancy and then the boot
it's like a combat boot and then these
are loud and then my outfit would be
simple and it would be like all the
juxtapositions in one of course it would
not be a best-dressed rift haul god
damnit that is a tongue twister Best
Dressed thrift haul without a couple of
vintage gingham of dresses so this is
the first one that I got and hello
picnic [ __ ] this is more like picnic
lady it's like picnic yes ma'am
this looks like something like British
grandma would wear I feel ready to
settle down with the boy across the
street and live in the same house for my
entire life and also make a damn good
cup of tea it's probably gonna be pretty
big on me in the modelling clips but I'm
gonna try to alter it maybe I'll do a
thrift slip episode where I bring in the
sides so it fits me a lot better but
dear lord I just love the color and the
print on this and the fact that these
gold buttons run all the way down the
front I'm such a [ __ ] nerd for buttons
but look they're like these gold buttons
with little twisty around the edge and
they go all the way down the front like
come on that is detailed man I also got
this picnic [ __ ] dress very classic
picnic [ __ ] it has the buttons up the
front it has a collar it look
like it's made out of a picnic blanket
so all the things that I loved in a
dress it's definitely a little big on me
as well
but it has these ties in the back so I
think I'll be able to tie it so it
doesn't look too oversized yeah I'm just
gonna say it
it looks like something from Reformation
I think this would be so cute with a
pair of espadrilles I think is what
they're called those wedge sandals or
you can even dress it down with a pair
of sneakers layer a denim jacket over
top that looks so cool I did get one
thing that was like actually actively
wintery which is this masterpiece of a
coat this coat is somehow vintage but
futuristic at the same time which I
thought was so interesting I loved all
the details on it it has a quilted
lining so it's really warm it has this
stitching around the shoulder that kind
of reminds me of like a Star Trek
Commander it has vents on the sleeve
that open up I don't know if that's for
ventilation which is aesthetic purposes
but I thought it looked really cool you
guys always ask me for tips for smithing
and if I have one tip it is to always
check the men's section probably like
50% of my favorite thrift finds have all
come from the men's section men's
clothing tends to be better quality it
also tends to be more classic because
men's fashion is so I wouldn't say
unoriginal but men's fashion especially
in the past has evolved it's such like a
slower rate than women's fashion it's
basically like here are a bunch of
different types of shirts in different
shades of blue it's where you can find
really high quality brands like Tommy
Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren and their
t-shirt designs or somehow cooler and
funkier I don't know why so here are a
couple things that I got from the men's
section this dark green quarters it from
Banana Republic it reminds me of
something that a guy on the rowing team
at Yale in the 50s would wear very
classic it's very warm it even has a
little leather zipper pull which you
guys know I'm a sucker for details and I
feel like that makes it so much fancier
so I'm excited to bundle up in this next
step from the men's section
I got this t-shirt this shirt is so
comfortable I never would take it off it
is the level of soft that can only be
achieved after somebody's worn it as
their pajama shirt for like 10 years in
a row it's like it's from the 80s or 90s
or something it has a really funky
graphic with a kind of kind of creepy
looking Sun on it oh god this Sun is
like the 80s version of the light moon
emoji okay I don't want to make eye
contact with that I also got this little
t-shirt that says
in creeks summer camps I always love a
good summer camp t-shirt because I feel
like they have good vibes on them you
know it kind of reminds me of like the
old coca-cola hot it's very Safety's
brand I'm also just a sucker for red
t-shirts with white text or white
t-shirts with red text I think it's such
a classic combination this is a funky
old number which says mofos Pizza Lake
Tahoe
I was explaining to David that I love
this shirt because it has a pocket and
he was like you know that all shorts
have pockets but not women's t-shirt
it's so rare to find a woman's t-shirt
with a pocket on the boob so I was very
excited and I'm look back it has this
little lizard that's just chilling with
his beer in his pizza which is I was
gonna say he's my spirit animal but I
honestly feel like my spirit animal is a
hamster just running around in a wheel
fervently my last t-shirt is this little
embroidered Columbia one which I hope
I'm not like appropriating Columbia
culture or something but I did get in
and I was thinking about going but I
didn't like their film school enough or
like they didn't really have a film
school they just had a program where you
watched old films and like wrote essays
about them which wasn't what I wanted to
do so I don't regret going to UCLA but I
do regret that our school colors are not
nearly as cool as Columbia's I love
their baby blue I got this little velvet
wrap top which surprisingly is from
forever 21 I'm always shocked when I
find stuff at the thrift store and I
like try it on I think it's really cute
that I look at the tag I'm like holy
[ __ ] forever 21 did that so I don't
endorse their methods of production
which are somewhat unethical and like
the whole fast fashion thing but if it's
drifted why the hell not I love the
dusty rose color the velvet the wrap top
so I can make it hug my boobs snuggly
and it'll be a good kind of nicer top to
pair with jeans so it'll make me look
like I'm trying harder than if I wore a
t-shirt but it's still not too fancy
normally in thrift stores I have the
worst luck with denim I normally don't
even bother looking at the denim section
anymore because I've just given up
everybody in LA knows that vintage
Levi's and vintage Wranglers and vintage
high-waisted jeans are the same divine
so everybody else has found them before
me but this time I did find something
pretty [ __ ] cool which are these
high-waisted pleated mom looking jeans I
had Lee found these in the men's section
so I'm not entirely sure if they're for
men
or woman but I just love the silhouette
I love the pleating detail these are
definitely gonna be a thrift lip plump
up project for me Jesus Christ I cannot
talk but I think if I can successfully
dart them down into the right size for
me they look so cute lastly I got this
skirt which looks like something that
I'd buy new from brandy melville Urban
Outfitters
it's very unapologetically Christmasy so
I'm excited to whip this out next
Christmas season but in the meantime I
think it'll go really well with a bunch
of my plain white tops that I have or a
simple black sweater I kind of have a
problem with buying way too many plain
black and white tops like it's so
satisfying to me to buy a top and be
like wow I could pair this with anything
but then I realize I don't have any
interesting bottoms to pair it with so
this will be one of those bottoms
alright that brings me to the end of
this thrift haul for once I have managed
to film a video without getting
incredibly sweaty like I am at a great
temperature right now
