Bestie I’m not gonna lie I do be wearing biker shorts and a tank top to thrift and I just go in the corner and try everything on like no shame! I’ve had other girls join me when they see me cause they wanted to try stuff on to! 😂
We all need besties like you. 🤣
Amen same!
I feel like Depop resellers have ruined the thrift stores more than vintage stores. No hate to Depop resellers; I know it is a good way to support yourself.
I mean yeah no hate but at the same time... hate. Because it's also taking away nice stuff from people who can only afford to shop secondhand. The thrift store used to be a way for people who can't afford "nicer" brands and clothing items to get them. Now there's only butt ugly stuff left because the resellers are buying everything for $4 and then upcharging the shit out of it. It can already be dehumanizing for lower income people to HAVE to shop secondhand and now they're only stuck with ugly or dated clothing? Sad.
Yes your right.. all the resellers come first thing in the morning they’ll line up with the others and they get 80% of the cool things . As you already know I work at vv so I see it first hand when cashing them out. They will also hit other locations within a timely manner so if you get there 2 hours after opening chances are there won’t be much left. Regardless loved your ootd and always enjoy your thrifting videos 💕😄
Wow, I didn't know it was that intense of a process, wow! It's a huge reason I closed my shop - I felt like I was adding the the problem and there are just SO many more resellers these days than there used to be. I feel like that's why I've shifted my content to home decor, just having zero luck thrifting these days!!
Some resellers also work for VV or other thrift stores so they hide, steal or set aside the items they want and use their discount to then adjust the price in their own shop.
What type of people are the resellers usually? Like are they young or older? What's like the #1 thing they're usually buying up? I'm so curious about them haha.
@@striketochill they can be all ages! Mostly younger 18-30s but I have met some that were alot older like seniors for example. They will buy mainly vintage or whatevers tending from band tees, high end brands, Levis/Carhart anything you can think of really!
@@ripewickedplum I wouldn’t doubt it but for vv workers we have to wait 48 hrs before buying something that is “new/coming out on that specific day” it has to hit the floor first..and if its anything worth buying chances are someone will get it before we can use our discount. If I were to shop at another location then yes i can buy whatever whenever but I might have to pay full price if im not able to use my discount. There’s a lot of rules when it comes to buying there actually you’d be surprised.
I’m so happy to see you back at a thrift store again! That being said, I totally understand what you are saying about the thrift stores. I live in Niagara Falls,Ontario, I’m always excited to get there until I do and then there’s nothing. If there is something I’m interested in the prices are so high. They blame it on Covid but let’s face it, this stuff is donated no need to go that high, even if they have overhead and they donate to their charity, which by the way is a minimal percentage. There is a Goodwill here in the Falls that actually has their dressing room open, do they have want you want I don’t know but I will look out for you. I know their T-shirts are crap. But for my age group ( older) I have found some pretty good tops.
It’s ok if your not feeling the thrift vids . I still rewatch your older thrift vids because they are still so cool! When ever I need a little outfit inspiration I just watch you ❤️❤️❤️
I totally feel you on the lack of good stuff in thrift stores! I think it’s a combo of so many vintage resellers (stores and online sellers), Facebook marketplace, and depop, etc
I live in Canada too and I was informed by a Value Village employee yesterday, they give 2 weeks to return clothes since the change rooms are closed.
Do you know if it's a full refund or if it's just store credit?
@@TashaLeelyn sadly still the same, you can only exchange for equal or more. The most they’ll give you back is $2 (depending on the location)
@tashaleelyn As Sarah mentioned it’s exchange or store credit. At least it’s something 🤷🏾♀️
Sucks if you have to exchange, you have to use that credit the same day.
IMO the trick to finding good vintage is to thrift in very rural places and at mom and pop stores. The closer you are to a major city, the less likely you are to find good vintage. Additionally, people in more rural areas generally have larger homes and more storage, so when their things end up in the thrift store it is more likely to have been collected over a longer period of time.
Thankful for your kindness your work is lovely 🥰
OMG YAYY!! Thrifting!!! Back in your element!
Thrifting kinda sucks now, a lot of the selection seems to be bought by resellers, it’s really unfortunate.
(Hi from Austin, TX) 🤠
I’m in DFW and I have to agree. I do great with home section, like decor only, but clothing it’s just the occasional sweater for me. No jeans, no tees, no dresses. It’s disappointing as it used to be so good not that long ago. But reselling is just such a HUGE thing now, and it’s great but also an aggressive crowd to be around in a thrift.
Thrifting has gotten much less fun lately with such high prices, no fitting rooms, and having everything picked over by resellers 😩
It's not just you, I live in a small town about an hour away from two major metros and every weekend our thrift stores are clogged up with people buying cart fulls of things to resell. I go during the week and am friendly with the volunteers who always lament the fact that so many out of towners come through and pilfer the place. Not really in the spirit of reusing, being thrifty, and helping your community 😔
It's sad that small volunteer ran thrift stores get hit like that. So many people can't afford to purchase brand new, and then get stuck with the shitty left overs when resellers take all the good stuff.
I truly love your style.
The fitting rooms are open at Talize thrift stores if you ever get to Kitchener or Barrie!
I have never found a single vintage tee & most of my content is thrifting so it’s definitely not just you! But you’re right those resellers put in the effort to get them first
Resellers have ruined the spirit of thrifting. But I guess people have to make money any way they can.
It's true! I appreciate all the hard work they put in, but I miss the days I could actually find a Harley tee at a thrift store lol.
@@TashaLeelyn Yes! I used to be able to find vintage jean jackets on the regular, like 80s GWG jackets. Thrifting has certainly changed, it's a shame
that yellow floral dress… my jaw dropped i love that pattern!
The dress with the kinda mesh and velour flower, yup I had that too 😅
yessss...I love thrifting with you...through youtube that is 😀
My favorite thrift store doesn’t have a dressing room. I wear either leggings or a maxi skirt so u can try on pants/skirts and wear a cami with a denim vest or shacket so you can just take that off and try on tops over the cami
Love these types of videos even though you didn’t find much!
yeah here in Van resellers wait one hour before opening every morning to buy best stuff.. sometimes I do too for my Posh, but I arrive at opening
There’s a store in Burlington called Oddspot that sells vintage tees.
yes I’m in Canada too & since vv doesn’t have the fitting rooms anymore I took a chance on levis only to get home & they didn’t fit so I could only exchange the item within 2 weeks of purchase
I live in Utah and when the Winter Olympics were here, gosh back in 2002? I saw brooks and Dunn in and outdoor concert for an award ceremony. It was the best. I had a friend that worked for the Olympics and got me tickets. I’ve been looking for vintage t’s as well and nada. All bought up by vintage shop owners for a markup. Oh well gotta be quicker.
I live in British Columbia and shop at Vallue village On average once a week. I do really appreciate that they offer a 14 day exchange. That gives me plenty of time to try it on and see if I love it before coming back to exchange it. 99% of that time, in those 2 weeks, I end up finding something I love much more!
ALSO, a store employee told me that they actually give you more than 14 days... 😁🇨🇦✌🏻❤
Julia Gulia vibes in the pink dress and jean jacket 💕
I also buy waaaayyy less now due to fitting rooms being closed. I don’t want to chance it and have to come all the way back to exchange something just for same-day exchange! And my store even has signs on the mirrors asking people not to try things on in the store, since so many people were doing that. I guess they’re just there for people to hold clothes up to them. 😩
Agree 100%. Been thrifting for 13 yrs. Not the same.
You are absolutely right the Thrift Stores are no like they use to be and yes in Toronto all fitting rooms are closed and again that SUCKS 😞
I love Public Butter! I also find I have good luck finding oversized vintage t's at Black Market. But other than those two stores, I can't seem to find anything good at other thrift stores like Value Village or Goodwill.
Yeah I totally agree the stuff sucks. I never grab a cart and when I don’t I have more luck but that’s just in my head 😂
Maybe try Depop for cute vintage tee’s!
yeah unfortunately all thrift stores in my area are bad like this too… not sure if it’s the pandemic or the rise in resellers and vintage shops but ill pick through garbage for hours and leave empty handed :(
I agree with you about the thrift stores, there is no good stuff. Low stock, no good finds and you can't try stuff on. Also I don't know what you think but I don't think they are going to bring some of the change rooms back after covid because Value Village actually removed the change rooms!
Dresses are cute you look so great in the blue!
Thrift shopping is such a game of chance. So many times I walk away with nothing and then one day I find everything. I think people now know what things are worth and are selling over donating
GIIIRLLLLLLL I MISSED THIS 🙌🙌🙌🙌 💕💕💕
I would suggest trying areas with an older population? I live near a big retirement community and the goodwill gets all their mid century stuff all the time
I live in an area like that but the Goodwill here is always full of ripped things and crappy home decor, and I've given it a couple chances!! I usually try to visit one thrift shop in any new town I go to, hopefully I find a new fave soon!
I’m struggling to find jeans . Because of weight fluctuates And because my local thrift places are extremely picked over ☹️☹️ then I look online and all jeans are over priced . I want to shop sustainable and in my budget. Which is very low. 😩😩
Girls, we gotta thrift when everyone is spring cleaning and tossing crap out of their houses. Just go like once a week when the weather changes.
I Think you're gonna regreat about the first jena jacket, it was perfect!
It's ridiculous that Goodwill got rid of their fitting rooms in so many states. I was just talking about this in someone else's comment section and someone replied that their Goodwill has lost 60% of their revenue since taking them out. Crazy! Luckily, I live in Wisconsin and they still have the fitting rooms here. 🙌
Ebay for vintage tees. My friend gets so many there and they're all super oversized.
I can totally relate to the “no good vintage tees” I sweaaaar value village takes them out of their donations and sells them to other people because I have no luck 99% of the time!
in the states they limited what we were able to donate so I think that might also have something to do with it.
Its definitely resellers!
I’m wondering if change rooms will ever open again in VV in Canada. We just got one in my city (!) but it doesn’t even have change rooms at all. I asked if it was just because of COVID and the employee I talked to said she didn’t think they would ever get them 😞
I usually go to about 3 different V.V.s and all have had the change rooms ripped out so there is no way they will bring them back after covid. How sad!
yaayyyy
Love that top at 1:36
Have u checked out Friday's child vintage clothes shop in Fenwick? They have an Instagram page too
❤❤❤
That sweater at 3:00 is something I didn’t know I needed! 😍 And also, I feel the same way about shein, like what happened?
I've still had amazing luck thrifting, maybe it's where I am. Always walk out with at least one thing. I have a depop, the majority on it is well priced and most of it is still good quality clothing I've decluttered out of my own closet.
That's nice but you're the exception to the depop reseller rule.
@@striketochill I agree with you. To me it's just a hobby.
@@marydavidson9508 That's awesome! We need more yous. Haha :)
Dude I'll literally be in a vintage store and find things with the goodwill tags still on them.
Your thrift videos are my favorite.... such a bummer about the fitting rooms... I'm still trying to figure out how trying on a garmet can cause covid? 🤔
I think the stores mainly want to limit how much time people spend in there. I guess they hope that people will just grab n go. But because I can't try anything on, I find myself staying in the store longer debating whether or not I'll like the way an item will fit on me since I can't try it on 😂
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about 😂😂😂
Thrift stores either have nothing cool nowadays OR they have cool stuff, but it's crazy expensive! lol
Barron stores because UA-cam has glamorized reselling. I also feel like my thrift stores lately have gotten more junk than usual. Did people just get the cleaning but out of their system last year? The U.S. thrift stores also have no fitting rooms. My question is, while that sucks, how does thrifting in thrift stores and trying on at home feel different than ordering through a service like ThredUp and trying on at home? Is it just the return policy that holds you up, or is it the fact that it’s more convenient to make a return via mail than going back to the store? Truly curious because I have never used a service like ThredUp and prefer to do it in person as well.
It's the same in the UK in the charity shops, there's nothing good anymore
Shein got popular again bc of COVID when we had to be quarantined lol I never bought any shein I just can’t do that
Missed the thrifting videos! Gotta ask though, do you think you’ll ever post on Soleil again?
I think another contributing factor to why thrift stores are so picked over is inflation. Everything has gone up in price due to COVID. So more people need/have to shop at the thrift store
I hate how popular shein got bc of covid, I thought the brand died after the 2014 blogging era 😭
If studded belts are considered vintage now I'm gonna pass away. I KNOW we ALL had that same belt😩
Hi
I honestly feel like a lot of the people who haven’t gone back to work-and created the shortage of workers in lots of businesses-have decided to become resellers. Therefore, they are getting to the best picks first. Which has changed the face of thrifting. Just my humble opinion.
“Is this vintage now” 💀💀💀 I had so many studded belts 😩
Me too, me too 🥺
@@TashaLeelyn 💖 I sent you a dm on Instagram with a new vintage shop in Hamilton. They look like they may have more of what you’re looking for!!! Happy Thrifting ✨
l live in nova scotia canada and the only store you cant try on clthing is at valu village,l know what you mean its soo annoying and l dont buy near what l use to because of it
“Saw dust is man glitter, that’s my theory” 😂
i only like vintage
Having no fitting rooms at vv suck. There's a new vv that doesn't have spots for fitting rooms. Guess those are things of the past. 😕
I bet you they make more money that way too. ☹️
But yet you shop on thread up a lot and you can’t feel or try that on..
Yes and there are some things I don’t include in my videos because they don’t fit! Usually try to stick with oversized items or brands I know the fit of when I shop online…
Thrift stores have definitely went down in my opinion…. Way too many resellers snatching up everything… people like me who just wanna buy something for herself can’t find anything….plus around here where I’m from resellers are sooo aggressive when they shop… I’m just not trying to be that kind of “rude” person…. 😔
Your not wrong and just complaining…. I often go thrifting for new books to read. Can’t afford to pop on indigo and buy the newest bestseller.
Often you’ll see a guy there with a shopping cart beeping the bar codes to see if they’re valuable 😒. Kinda sucks.
what is the reasoning for the fitting rooms being closed? I don't get it? people are still touching the clothes ... we can take them home and expose them to another environment and then return them .... I don't get it.
I literally have no idea lol.... it seems stupid.
I’ve noticed that too about Shein. Everyone was hating on shein and fast fashion before covid happened. Now people seem to love shein. And are now complaining about the people that started thrifting because of that because they are taking thrift clothes from people that actually need it. It’s confusing and hypocritical. You just really can’t win.
I personally don’t respect “vintage shops” kind of just gentrifying affordable cute clothes. Thrift stores are meant for the less fortunate. All well and good if you are fortunate and shop, but do not resell for profit. Jmo.
No one is/should be buying shein anymore. Fast fashion is terrible. CBC marketplace did an episode about them.
