Hi guys, it's Sid and welcome back.
00:00
It is currently 8:37 on a Saturday night
00:09
and I am having the best Saturday night
00:12
doing what I do best, scrolling on
00:14
Pinterest. You guys might think I'm
00:16
joking right now, but like this is
00:18
actually true. I've been specifically
00:19
saving a lot of things to my outfits
00:21
board. So, I thought why not film a
00:23
video of me trying to thrift the outfits
00:24
that I pinned. What often happens I
00:28
realize [clears throat] is I just save a
00:29
lot of the same thing. Like you can find
00:31
consistent themes throughout my board.
00:33
One of them being clearly a lot of
00:35
layering. I love layering and for some
00:38
reason I don't ever put in the efforts
00:40
to do it. So, I'm thinking getting some
00:42
long sleeve basics of things that I
00:44
could easily layer. I've also been
00:46
saving a ton of fall jackets. I love
00:48
this brown color, but I also like this
00:51
kind of more beige color as well.
00:53
Jackets for me are hit or miss, so we'll
00:55
see if we'll see how that goes. Speaking
00:58
of layering, one thing I've noticed a
01:00
lot of that I've been saving are tops
01:01
layered [music] over lace bralettes. I
01:03
love a good lace bralette. And the
01:06
problem is not the fact that I don't
01:07
need a lace bralette, but what I need is
01:09
something that I could layer over where
01:11
you can see underneath. Like a tank or
01:12
this button down tee, something where I
01:15
can style it nicely. I also really want
01:17
to see if they have any skirts. I really
01:19
like these ones. I wear the same mini
01:21
skirt that I have all the time and it's
01:23
getting a little redundant. In terms of
01:25
bags, I notice I'm saving a lot of stuff
01:27
that has some texture. Either suede,
01:30
which is pretty basic, [music] but so
01:32
beautiful. also really having liking
01:33
this weave pattern. Obviously Bottega's
01:36
known for that, but I also really love
01:38
these going out tops. There's so many
01:40
that are really cute, but it's just
01:42
something that I actually need. [music]
01:44
I feel like I have the same two tops
01:46
that I wear when I go out. I think I'll
01:48
know it when I see it type [music]
01:50
thing. And then I don't know, that's
01:51
kind of what I have saved at the moment.
01:52
It's so interesting when you take a look
01:54
at your Pinterest board from afar
01:56
[music] because often you do notice
01:57
these overall themes of things that
01:59
you're saving that you don't even
02:02
realize you're doing it. And I just want
02:03
to see what I can find second hand at
02:05
like a thrift store or vintage store.
02:06
So, I have the list of things that I
02:08
need or at least that I'm looking for
02:10
and I'm going to head to a couple of the
02:12
>> tomorrow morning and I'll see you in the
02:15
>> Okay, I made it to Brooklyn. My first
02:31
stop is this place called L Train
02:33
Vintage and for some reason I can't
02:35
remember if I've been here. I think I
02:37
have. I'm also sort of regretting this
02:39
haircut because it's so short. Why did I
02:41
cut it this short? I don't know. I was
02:44
>> Okay, we really started from the bottom
02:53
here because this thrift store ended up
02:54
being a fail. I got nothing. For a
02:56
second I actually was interested in this
02:58
jacket, but then I realized there was a
03:00
giant hole in the arm. Special shoutout
03:02
though to the Minnesota Twins. I knew I
03:04
didn't want to buy anything just to buy
03:06
something. So, I guess it can only go up
03:08
from here. Okay, to be honest so far no
03:10
good. I do want to stick to my promise
03:13
to myself. I'm not going to like buy
03:16
something just to buy it. We're going to
03:17
keep going. Stay optimistic. I'm at this
03:19
place called Awoke Vintage in Brooklyn.
03:21
One of you guys came up to me actually
03:24
in the previous store. I was asking her
03:25
about this place and she said it was
03:27
pretty good, but it is a little bit more
03:28
expensive [music] cuz it's more of a
03:30
vintage store than a thrift store. We'll
03:31
see. I have no idea what to expect,
03:33
[music] but yes, before you ask I did
03:34
find this place on TikTok.
03:36
And I have no shame.
03:39
>> So, thank [music] goodness I didn't give
03:46
up because this is where I started to
03:48
see the light, okay? I will take a
03:50
TikTok rack very seriously, and I'm glad
03:52
I did because there were several people
03:54
who posted about this vintage shop on
03:56
there. I do have to say though, this is
03:58
more of a vintage store. The prices just
04:00
aren't [music] as cheap as a traditional
04:02
thrift store, but I was still excited to
04:03
see some cool second-hand things
04:05
starting with this Ralph Lauren jacket.
04:07
It really wasn't the fall theme jacket
04:09
that I was looking for, but it was also
04:11
a kid size. It was like an extra large
04:13
size in kids, so it kind of just like
04:15
fit me weird. I also tried on this
04:17
leather jacket which again, I don't
04:19
know. I couldn't put my finger on it,
04:21
but jackets are just like always tough
04:22
for me. And then I started to get a
04:23
little discouraged because I tried on
04:25
another shirt, and I wanted it to fit
04:27
tighter than it did. Passed on that.
04:29
Also didn't like this shirt, but this is
04:31
where things turned around. This shirt,
04:34
I think is the coolest shirt I've ever
04:36
thrifted. I love the sewn collar. I love
04:38
the flowers. I love everything about
04:40
[music] this, and it was only $35, which
04:42
I don't know if I should be saying only
04:44
35. Also found this jean skirt, which I
04:46
thought fit me pretty well.
04:49
Suddenly my spirits are lifted. I had a
04:54
much higher rate of success there.
04:57
Although it was more expensive, I think
04:59
it was worth it. I really love what I
05:01
got, and honestly like I recommend that
05:03
store. If you guys are ever in the area,
05:05
it was worth all of the hype and more.
05:07
>> I got hungry and thirsty, so I went to
05:15
Partners. It is uncomfortably [music]
05:19
quiet in here, but that doesn't stop me
05:21
from doing my favorite thing ever,
05:23
filming in public. I've been really in
05:25
my [music] black iced tea lemonade
05:27
Arnold Palmer era. I hate saying that
05:29
word. It's just so good and refreshing
05:32
like midday, so got one of those. I'm
05:34
also really hungry, and the kitchen was
05:37
closing in 3 minutes, so I felt very
05:39
pressured, and I asked the barista what
05:41
she recommended, and she recommended the
05:43
breakfast sandwich. And it comes with a
05:45
little cup of fruit. It's honestly a
05:47
little sad. There's like barely anything
05:49
in there. This channel slowly day by
05:50
day, week by week turns into a food
05:53
review channel and I don't really know
05:55
how I feel about that.
05:56
I can't tell if I'm just really hungry
06:00
or if it's a really good breakfast
06:02
sandwich. I'm feeling a lot better now
06:03
that I've had some success. I'm going to
06:05
revisit my Pinterest boards, remember
06:07
why I'm out here. Like this is serious.
06:09
This is serious work. I stopped at one
06:11
more vintage shop, Bedford Vintage. I
06:14
couldn't resist because again, TikTok
06:16
drew me in. This is like the same old
06:19
story, but they had really cool like
06:21
mesh detailed tops. And this one, when I
06:23
saw it immediately, I ran to the fitting
06:26
room with it. I love the wide neckline
06:29
and I also just love the pattern. This
06:31
was sort of what I was envisioning for a
06:33
going out just dinner top. It was $50.
06:35
So I knew I had to go to an actual
06:38
thrift store with thrift store prices
06:39
and I walked into Buffalo Exchange. Saw
06:41
this bag which I thought really fit
06:43
exactly what I was looking for in terms
06:45
of the woven style. They also had quite
06:47
a few long sleeves which I thought were
06:49
potentially nice for layering. Now don't
06:50
be fooled because this top threw me for
06:52
a loop at first and I thought this was
06:54
never going to happen, but I had a
06:56
little patience and persistence. I sort
06:58
of like tucked it in and I thought,
07:00
wait, this could actually work. Um I
07:02
love making this whole thing dramatic.
07:04
Anyways, then I went and I saw this
07:06
jacket. So basically, this was a massive
07:08
success. Shoutout Buffalo Exchange. Okay
07:11
guys, I'm back. Not to brag, but I do
07:13
think we did really well. And since the
07:16
second I got home, the only thing I can
07:18
think about is putting these outfits
07:20
together. Sometimes if I buy new pieces
07:22
and I don't spend the time putting
07:25
together outfits, I don't really know
07:26
how like what to wear stuff with. So
07:28
[music] I want to take a second, put
07:29
some outfits together based on
07:31
everything that I just got. Of course
07:33
using my style board as kind of a
07:35
reference. The art of styling is
07:37
definitely a skill. I used to be quite
07:39
And that makes it sound like I'm now
07:43
good at it. I wouldn't say that, but
07:44
I've definitely improved. And I think
07:47
more The more you style, the more you
07:49
kind of know and figure out what you
07:51
like and what you don't like. And it's
07:52
going to be kind of like a little mini
07:54
haul, cuz I'm going to show you guys
07:55
everything that I bought. First thing
07:56
I'm going to style is this long-sleeve
07:58
black top. Now, this was something you
08:00
guys know I almost didn't get because
08:03
when I first put it on my body, it
08:05
That sounds weird. Okay. I did give it a
08:08
second chance. Once I sort of played
08:10
around with this and tucked it in, fixed
08:13
the sleeves, [music]
08:15
I thought this could be really cool to
08:16
layer like so. Since I've been really
08:19
loving a lot of layered pieces on
08:21
Pinterest, I thought this would be
08:22
perfect to do it with. This is the base
08:24
that we have. I'm thinking
08:27
jeans. Okay, jeans were definitely the
08:30
move. I threw on these Levi's that I
08:32
really love. Something I love that is
08:34
just such a classic easy thing to do is
08:37
throw on heels with jeans. And these
08:39
heels, I think will go so perfectly with
08:41
this top, right? I can't tell if I want
08:44
to do a belt with this. I actually don't
08:45
know how much I like the belt with this.
08:48
I think I kind of want to just keep it
08:49
really dressed [music]
08:50
down without it. Okay, so scratch the
08:52
belt. The secret to a good baggy tee, in
08:54
my opinion, is really figuring out the
08:57
art of tucking it properly. Sometimes
08:59
I'll just like stick it in the bottom of
09:02
my bra. I feel like I just always have
09:04
to play around with it a little bit
09:06
until it sits just right. Finishing it
09:08
off with this beautiful new bag that I
09:11
just got. Don't be fooled though, I did
09:14
not buy this. I'm trying out this thing
09:16
where I rent bags from It's called
09:18
Vivrelle. Okay, finishing touch, some
09:20
sunglasses. I just found these in the
09:22
bottom of my drawer. I don't even know
09:25
where I got them, but this is the final
09:26
>> Okay, next thing I got that I want to
09:37
style is this top. This is from the
09:38
brand Vince. It was $20. This is one of
09:40
those pieces that I liked it 10 times
09:43
better once I put it on. Sometimes it's
09:45
opposite. Sometimes something looks good
09:47
and then I put it on and it's worse.
09:49
[music] It's super simple, very similar
09:50
to a lot of like the button-downs that I
09:52
had pinned on my board. I'm thinking
09:54
it'd be cool to wear this unbuttoned a
09:56
little bit and put like a lace bralette
09:57
under for some detail. This is
10:00
definitely making the whole outfit a
10:02
little bit sexier, but I kind of like
10:04
it. You guys know I just I love a good
10:06
lace bralette, especially recently, as
10:08
you guys know. Since I'm wearing the
10:11
black, I want to sort of bring out the
10:12
black a little bit more with some pants.
10:13
>> These low-rise pants from Reformation
10:16
are perfect with this. I'm going to try
10:18
these black flats with this. I got these
10:20
from Quince a while ago. Okay, I know
10:22
I'm going to get roasted in the
10:24
comments. People hate when I don't wear
10:25
And I don't blame them. I've been really
10:28
trying. I love a good simple outfit. I
10:30
have this little clutch. It's actually
10:33
supposed to be a makeup bag, but I kind
10:34
of like it as my little clutch purse
10:37
>> I don't know how I almost forgot to show
10:48
you guys this jacket that I picked up.
10:49
This was the last thing that I saw as I
10:52
was leaving the thrift store. Obviously,
10:54
you know I really wanted a nice fall
10:56
jacket and this I thought was perfect.
10:58
It's actually a men's jacket, which
11:01
sometimes they look better on. It's the
11:04
perfect color that I was looking for,
11:05
sort of this like cream beige. It has
11:07
this sort of [music] snakeskin crocodile
11:10
print to it. I think it'll go with so
11:12
much stuff, like even with what I'm
11:13
wearing right now, it's perfect.
11:15
>> My favorite thing that I got is
11:22
something that I didn't even really plan
11:24
to get or it wasn't on my Pinterest
11:26
board. I know it kind of defeats Does it
11:28
defeat the purpose of the video? I don't
11:30
know. I loved the color. You can kind of
11:31
see it has like a little bit of
11:33
stitching right here and it has some
11:34
more color. It's more fun. Trying to
11:36
spice things up, add a little bit more
11:38
color to my wardrobe even though there's
11:40
literally five singular red flowers on
11:41
it. No idea how I'm going to style this.
11:44
So, let's do that right now. I don't
11:46
think even if I tried I could put into
11:48
words how much I love this top. It's
11:50
just so cool. It was also $35 which I
11:53
was pretty happy about considering it's
11:57
a from a vintage store. I decided to put
11:58
some really casual jeans on. These are
12:00
my go-to pair. I wear these like every
12:02
day. They're from Abercrombie. I liked
12:04
this little brown vintage Coach bag with
12:06
it and then I think I'm going to try it
12:08
with these little brown heeled
12:09
Somehow I almost forgot that I also got
12:21
this jean skirt. This
12:22
I don't regret it. Regret's a strong
12:25
word, but it was pretty expensive, okay?
12:27
I think it was like $59.
12:30
So, this is like not a thrifted skirt,
12:33
but it is a really good just simple
12:35
classic staple piece that I honestly
12:37
probably I'm going to wear really often.
12:39
I do almost like it with this top. This
12:42
could even be an outfit in itself. Um I
12:43
think I lied to you guys. I think this
12:47
top might actually be my favorite. This
12:49
is just like the most flattering
12:51
silhouette of a top. I love the neckline
12:53
on this. I love the little floral
12:55
pattern. It just gives a little bit of
12:57
character and I've been trying to find
12:59
more tops that are nice for going out
13:01
that aren't just like plain. It was 50
13:03
bucks. So, I'm not going to say it was a
13:06
steal. I just paired this with some
13:08
black slacks again, the same ones as
13:10
earlier, and then some little black
13:11
heeled booties. And then to finish it
13:13
off, the only bag that I got thrifting
13:15
was this one. This was $16. I just
13:17
really liked it. I was immediately drawn
13:20
to this when I saw it on the rack and I
13:22
just realized that this goes really well
13:24
with this top because you can see there
13:27
is some of this exact shade of green in
13:29
the top. I would say this is my ideal
13:31
Okay, guys, that is everything that I
13:39
got. I think this was a massive success.
13:41
I feel like I really stuck to my boards.
13:44
I got a lot of good staple pieces that I
13:46
think I'll make a ton of use out of. Let
13:48
me know if you guys like these videos. I
13:50
love making them. Love you guys. Thanks
13:51
for watching and I'll see you in my next
13:54
