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. >> [music] [music]
