[English]

Hi guys, it's Sid and welcome back.

It is currently 8:37 on a Saturday night

and I am having the best Saturday night

doing what I do best, scrolling on

Pinterest. You guys might think I'm

joking right now, but like this is

actually true. I've been specifically

saving a lot of things to my outfits

board. So, I thought why not film a

video of me trying to thrift the outfits

that I pinned. What often happens I

realize [clears throat] is I just save a

lot of the same thing. Like you can find

consistent themes throughout my board.

One of them being clearly a lot of

layering. I love layering and for some

reason I don't ever put in the efforts

to do it. So, I'm thinking getting some

long sleeve basics of things that I

could easily layer. I've also been

saving a ton of fall jackets. I love

this brown color, but I also like this

kind of more beige color as well.

Jackets for me are hit or miss, so we'll

see if we'll see how that goes. Speaking

of layering, one thing I've noticed a

lot of that I've been saving are tops

layered [music] over lace bralettes. I

love a good lace bralette. And the

problem is not the fact that I don't

need a lace bralette, but what I need is

something that I could layer over where

you can see underneath. Like a tank or

this button down tee, something where I

can style it nicely. I also really want

to see if they have any skirts. I really

like these ones. I wear the same mini

skirt that I have all the time and it's

getting a little redundant. In terms of

bags, I notice I'm saving a lot of stuff

that has some texture. Either suede,

which is pretty basic, [music] but so

beautiful. also really having liking

this weave pattern. Obviously Bottega's

known for that, but I also really love

these going out tops. There's so many

that are really cute, but it's just

something that I actually need. [music]

I feel like I have the same two tops

that I wear when I go out. I think I'll

know it when I see it type [music]

thing. And then I don't know, that's

kind of what I have saved at the moment.

It's so interesting when you take a look

at your Pinterest board from afar

[music] because often you do notice

these overall themes of things that

you're saving that you don't even

realize you're doing it. And I just want

to see what I can find second hand at

like a thrift store or vintage store.

So, I have the list of things that I

need or at least that I'm looking for

and I'm going to head to a couple of the

stores

>> [music]

>> tomorrow morning and I'll see you in the

morning.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Okay, I made it to Brooklyn. My first

stop is this place called L Train

Vintage and for some reason I can't

remember if I've been here. I think I

have. I'm also sort of regretting this

haircut because it's so short. Why did I

cut it this short? I don't know. I was

impulsive.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Okay, we really started from the bottom

here because this thrift store ended up

being a fail. I got nothing. For a

second I actually was interested in this

jacket, but then I realized there was a

giant hole in the arm. Special shoutout

though to the Minnesota Twins. I knew I

didn't want to buy anything just to buy

something. So, I guess it can only go up

from here. Okay, to be honest so far no

good. I do want to stick to my promise

to myself. I'm not going to like buy

something just to buy it. We're going to

keep going. Stay optimistic. I'm at this

place called Awoke Vintage in Brooklyn.

One of you guys came up to me actually

in the previous store. I was asking her

about this place and she said it was

pretty good, but it is a little bit more

expensive [music] cuz it's more of a

vintage store than a thrift store. We'll

see. I have no idea what to expect,

[music] but yes, before you ask I did

find this place on TikTok.

And I have no shame.

>> [music]

>> So, thank [music] goodness I didn't give

up because this is where I started to

see the light, okay? I will take a

TikTok rack very seriously, and I'm glad

I did because there were several people

who posted about this vintage shop on

there. I do have to say though, this is

more of a vintage store. The prices just

aren't [music] as cheap as a traditional

thrift store, but I was still excited to

see some cool second-hand things

starting with this Ralph Lauren jacket.

It really wasn't the fall theme jacket

that I was looking for, but it was also

a kid size. It was like an extra large

size in kids, so it kind of just like

fit me weird. I also tried on this

leather jacket which again, I don't

know. I couldn't put my finger on it,

but jackets are just like always tough

for me. And then I started to get a

little discouraged because I tried on

another shirt, and I wanted it to fit

tighter than it did. Passed on that.

Also didn't like this shirt, but this is

where things turned around. This shirt,

I think is the coolest shirt I've ever

thrifted. I love the sewn collar. I love

the flowers. I love everything about

[music] this, and it was only $35, which

I don't know if I should be saying only

35. Also found this jean skirt, which I

thought fit me pretty well.

Suddenly my spirits are lifted. I had a

much higher rate of success there.

Although it was more expensive, I think

it was worth it. I really love what I

got, and honestly like I recommend that

store. If you guys are ever in the area,

it was worth all of the hype and more.

>> [music]

>> I got hungry and thirsty, so I went to

Partners. It is uncomfortably [music]

quiet in here, but that doesn't stop me

from doing my favorite thing ever,

filming in public. I've been really in

my [music] black iced tea lemonade

Arnold Palmer era. I hate saying that

word. It's just so good and refreshing

like midday, so got one of those. I'm

also really hungry, and the kitchen was

closing in 3 minutes, so I felt very

pressured, and I asked the barista what

she recommended, and she recommended the

breakfast sandwich. And it comes with a

little cup of fruit. It's honestly a

little sad. There's like barely anything

in there. This channel slowly day by

day, week by week turns into a food

review channel and I don't really know

how I feel about that.

I can't tell if I'm just really hungry

or if it's a really good breakfast

sandwich. I'm feeling a lot better now

that I've had some success. I'm going to

revisit my Pinterest boards, remember

why I'm out here. Like this is serious.

This is serious work. I stopped at one

more vintage shop, Bedford Vintage. I

couldn't resist because again, TikTok

drew me in. This is like the same old

story, but they had really cool like

mesh detailed tops. And this one, when I

saw it immediately, I ran to the fitting

room with it. I love the wide neckline

and I also just love the pattern. This

was sort of what I was envisioning for a

going out just dinner top. It was $50.

So I knew I had to go to an actual

thrift store with thrift store prices

and I walked into Buffalo Exchange. Saw

this bag which I thought really fit

exactly what I was looking for in terms

of the woven style. They also had quite

a few long sleeves which I thought were

potentially nice for layering. Now don't

be fooled because this top threw me for

a loop at first and I thought this was

never going to happen, but I had a

little patience and persistence. I sort

of like tucked it in and I thought,

wait, this could actually work. Um I

love making this whole thing dramatic.

Anyways, then I went and I saw this

jacket. So basically, this was a massive

success. Shoutout Buffalo Exchange. Okay

guys, I'm back. Not to brag, but I do

think we did really well. And since the

second I got home, the only thing I can

think about is putting these outfits

together. Sometimes if I buy new pieces

and I don't spend the time putting

together outfits, I don't really know

how like what to wear stuff with. So

[music] I want to take a second, put

some outfits together based on

everything that I just got. Of course

using my style board as kind of a

reference. The art of styling is

definitely a skill. I used to be quite

bad at this.

And that makes it sound like I'm now

good at it. I wouldn't say that, but

I've definitely improved. And I think

more The more you style, the more you

kind of know and figure out what you

like and what you don't like. And it's

going to be kind of like a little mini

haul, cuz I'm going to show you guys

everything that I bought. First thing

I'm going to style is this long-sleeve

black top. Now, this was something you

guys know I almost didn't get because

when I first put it on my body, it

swallowed me.

That sounds weird. Okay. I did give it a

second chance. Once I sort of played

around with this and tucked it in, fixed

the sleeves, [music]

I thought this could be really cool to

layer like so. Since I've been really

loving a lot of layered pieces on

Pinterest, I thought this would be

perfect to do it with. This is the base

that we have. I'm thinking

jeans. Okay, jeans were definitely the

move. I threw on these Levi's that I

really love. Something I love that is

just such a classic easy thing to do is

throw on heels with jeans. And these

heels, I think will go so perfectly with

this top, right? I can't tell if I want

to do a belt with this. I actually don't

know how much I like the belt with this.

I think I kind of want to just keep it

really dressed [music]

down without it. Okay, so scratch the

belt. The secret to a good baggy tee, in

my opinion, is really figuring out the

art of tucking it properly. Sometimes

I'll just like stick it in the bottom of

my bra. I feel like I just always have

to play around with it a little bit

until it sits just right. Finishing it

off with this beautiful new bag that I

just got. Don't be fooled though, I did

not buy this. I'm trying out this thing

where I rent bags from It's called

Vivrelle. Okay, finishing touch, some

sunglasses. I just found these in the

bottom of my drawer. I don't even know

where I got them, but this is the final

look.

>> [music]

>> Okay, next thing I got that I want to

style is this top. This is from the

brand Vince. It was $20. This is one of

those pieces that I liked it 10 times

better once I put it on. Sometimes it's

opposite. Sometimes something looks good

and then I put it on and it's worse.

[music] It's super simple, very similar

to a lot of like the button-downs that I

had pinned on my board. I'm thinking

it'd be cool to wear this unbuttoned a

little bit and put like a lace bralette

under for some detail. This is

definitely making the whole outfit a

little bit sexier, but I kind of like

it. You guys know I just I love a good

lace bralette, especially recently, as

you guys know. Since I'm wearing the

black, I want to sort of bring out the

black a little bit more with some pants.

>> [music]

>> These low-rise pants from Reformation

are perfect with this. I'm going to try

these black flats with this. I got these

from Quince a while ago. Okay, I know

I'm going to get roasted in the

comments. People hate when I don't wear

color.

And I don't blame them. I've been really

trying. I love a good simple outfit. I

have this little clutch. It's actually

supposed to be a makeup bag, but I kind

of like it as my little clutch purse

going out.

>> [music]

>> I don't know how I almost forgot to show

you guys this jacket that I picked up.

This was the last thing that I saw as I

was leaving the thrift store. Obviously,

you know I really wanted a nice fall

jacket and this I thought was perfect.

It's actually a men's jacket, which

sometimes they look better on. It's the

perfect color that I was looking for,

sort of this like cream beige. It has

this sort of [music] snakeskin crocodile

print to it. I think it'll go with so

much stuff, like even with what I'm

wearing right now, it's perfect.

>> [music]

>> My favorite thing that I got is

something that I didn't even really plan

to get or it wasn't on my Pinterest

board. I know it kind of defeats Does it

defeat the purpose of the video? I don't

know. I loved the color. You can kind of

see it has like a little bit of

stitching right here and it has some

more color. It's more fun. Trying to

spice things up, add a little bit more

color to my wardrobe even though there's

literally five singular red flowers on

it. No idea how I'm going to style this.

So, let's do that right now. I don't

think even if I tried I could put into

words how much I love this top. It's

just so cool. It was also $35 which I

was pretty happy about considering it's

a from a vintage store. I decided to put

some really casual jeans on. These are

my go-to pair. I wear these like every

day. They're from Abercrombie. I liked

this little brown vintage Coach bag with

it and then I think I'm going to try it

with these little brown heeled

flip-flops.

Somehow I almost forgot that I also got

this jean skirt. This

I don't regret it. Regret's a strong

word, but it was pretty expensive, okay?

I think it was like $59.

So, this is like not a thrifted skirt,

but it is a really good just simple

classic staple piece that I honestly

probably I'm going to wear really often.

I do almost like it with this top. This

could even be an outfit in itself. Um I

think I lied to you guys. I think this

top might actually be my favorite. This

is just like the most flattering

silhouette of a top. I love the neckline

on this. I love the little floral

pattern. It just gives a little bit of

character and I've been trying to find

more tops that are nice for going out

that aren't just like plain. It was 50

bucks. So, I'm not going to say it was a

steal. I just paired this with some

black slacks again, the same ones as

earlier, and then some little black

heeled booties. And then to finish it

off, the only bag that I got thrifting

was this one. This was $16. I just

really liked it. I was immediately drawn

to this when I saw it on the rack and I

just realized that this goes really well

with this top because you can see there

is some of this exact shade of green in

the top. I would say this is my ideal

going out outfit.

Okay, guys, that is everything that I

got. I think this was a massive success.

I feel like I really stuck to my boards.

I got a lot of good staple pieces that I

think I'll make a ton of use out of. Let

me know if you guys like these videos. I

love making them. Love you guys. Thanks

for watching and I'll see you in my next

video. Bye.
