Okay I know thrifting to resell is not your thing at all BUT when you were showing all the Christmas sweaters I was thinking that saving Christmas sweaters from the bins that are landfill-bound and selling them to your viewers would be so cute and authentic to you! Could do it during Thriftmas and donate the proceeds to a charity or something!
Such a good idea! I hate the idea of of clothes in landfills. Some clothes go to third world countries where it overwhelms the local economy and local clothes production. Their landfills end up catching on fire because of the methane or clothes wash up on beaches from falling overboard
I commented a couple of years ago that every *boop* in your intro I boop my dogs nose. This is the first video I've watched since I had to say goodbye to him last week which got me all emotional! Thankfully you and Carrie always brighten the day.
@laurashoesmith93 I am so sorry 😔💐 for your loss. What a lucky doggy to belong to someone as special as you. Booping his nose. I believe you will be with him again. 🌈 🐶🐾
That’s California weather for you. Happens for I’d say for about 9-10 months of the year (excluding hot summer). It’s hard to explain but it makes sense if you live here.
Video Idea - Dress your fellas for $20. You could pick an event i.e. Disneyland, Date Night, Picnic at the beach... And then go thrifting for the look.
I applaud you for being able to film at the bins, I could never manage that in that hectic environment. I don’t shop for clothes at mine’s but I go for the books. If anyone’s a reader they always have recent releases + popular titles. Great video!
FYI to anyone going to the Escondido CA Goodwill outlet... they do NOT sell by the pound. It's per piece. It's still a good price, but it was a shock when I got up to the register.
Only Alexa could talk openly about how the crotch looks in pants , zoom in while saying it, and still be adorable and make me laugh. Her honesty is too good.
Crotch is a real word, perfectly acceptable, especially when just talking about clothes. What else would you call it? It just means the area where the legs come together, like where tree branches grow out from a tree, also called a crotch.
I love your channel! That animal print cardigan looks amazing on you! 😍 I am obsessed with animal prints as well, I have always been, even when they were considered "out of style". I love leopard, zebra, snake , all of them hahah. I consider them neutrals in a way ☺. Now I am conflicted, can't decide if I am happy about them being so on trend , just because I don't like wearing what everyone else does. In any case, I will continue to wear and enjoy them!
I think you could theoretically seam rip the seams on the plaid skirt that hold down the pleats. That way, it would slide a bit lower on you (because then the waist would become what is holding it on), become longer, and the waist wouldn’t be too big anymore. The only thing is that it wouldn’t be as high waisted, but it looked like it was very high, so maybe it’s ok if it sits a bit lower? Just a thought :)
🎉Yay!🎉 Love a Carrie collaboration. 🐆That animal print cardigan is amazing! Prefer garments w/a 🆒️ undertone too. 🤔Think you should just go mad at those bins. You're saving stuff from the landfll. Plus, with your platform & fans, you can easily resell anything later. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
For the fit of the pants, don't you sew and do thrify upcycles ? It's super easy to taylor those to fit better as the seats are exposed inside. Put them on inside out and pin the seam ticker so it's tightee then just sew it where they need a little cynching. You can do the same with the waist band of you need but it looks like if you tailor the hip/crotch area better you may be able to leave the elastic as is.
The leaves jumper and cat Christmas cardigan were too cute! I’m sad they got left behind. The pants look great on you. (My first thought was that they were made for you!) I think you’re overthinking the crotch situation. If you hadn’t pointed it out I wouldn’t have noticed.
I used to go to that location a lot back in 2021 but now the line gets crazy and don't find anything worth it so i just don't go anymore, it gets too chaotic! lol
15:05 that is the exact skirt I was forced to wear to my private school from K-12. I'm sorry that you bought it and it didn't fit well. But the anger I have for that skirt bc I was forced to wear it everyday of school for 13 yrs of my life, I cannot say I would really want to see it styled. I know you love plaid skirts, and I'm not a big fan of them, but I understand that everyone has a different style and I can respect that. But this specific plaid skirt I would honestly love to never see again. Thank you for letting me rant about this skirt lol.
If you read the rules it specifically says one cart per person. Just say something to management. At our bins it says it. I had that same issue. I called corporate and they made that change and had it posted. Management should do their jobs.
I could NEVER go to the bins. If someone was grabbing things in front of me or crowding me, I would go off so hard. It triggers my anxiety and fight or flight. Plus, its just freaking rude.

They don’t send them to landfills. They sell them to be recycled.
such a good idea! i hate knowing these clothes sit in a landfill after the bins :(
A perfect alternative to newly produced merch too! 😍
yesss like my area NEVER has cute holiday sweaters/cardigans

This is breaking my heart for you. I am so sorry for your loss.
You’re wearing a sweater and Carrie is in a sleeveless vest. I’m trying to guess what the weather is like there and I’m failing 😂
Tbh that perfect describes weather in so cal 😂

I was going to ask the same thing. 😊😊😊
Thank you! It was bugging me!😂. And does Alexa have a turtleneck under that sweater?

We were fighting for our LIVES but at least we were in it together 🫶👯♀️💛 the stuff you did get is so cute!!!!

Between thrift stores, Half Price Books, and an enormous local book sale I will never pay full price again
i'm obsessed with the purple dress you left behind!!
Carrie looks so adorable today I love the glasses and hair it's like she's from That 70's show
Just came here to say your hair looks super cute with the braids and lace bows!
Carts should be one per person. Regardless nice hauls ❤ I think some are resellers the one with a huge haul
I am so sad you left behind that pink sweater vest, it was STUNNING 🥲
I have a retractable measuring tape on a keychain that I attached to my phone wallet. That way I never leave home without it.

Yes!! That caught me off guard the first time I went to that location too
That purple hippie dress omggg

Her comedy timing is quite good.

8:57 but hear me out… red goes SO well with animal print. You could obsess over BOTH 😃🥰
Keep a measuring tape and pair of gloves in your car glove box. Then you will always be prepared if you forgot the ones that you keep in your purse.
Omg I’ve never been this early before!! No better way to spend my morning then with Alexa + Carrie + the bins 🤩

4:40 you shouldve got that sweater!!! omg beautiful
Omg I’m here in Australia where 98% of schools have uniforms and a school close to me has that green skirt!!!
🎉Yay!🎉 Love a Carrie collaboration.

Hi Alexa and Carrie!!!! WHat a team!
I love love love you in red!
Thank you for sharing! X
If you still have the American apparel skirt, you could try pairing it with bootcut yoga pants or jeans as a skirt w pants look since it’s too short!
Jk just saw it’s already sold on your poshmark 😅🫶🏻

Good morning Alexa happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing
I loved your animal print cardigan so much I searched for it on ebay and bought it immediately! ❤
Love the pants and the t-shirt! They can look good together imo
I watched both of you all videos all the time. Great haul.
that purple dress you put back😭💔
Goodwill bins seems fun but it would definitely give me bad anxiety because people know what to look for here and I definitely wouldn’t lol 😂
The leaves jumper and cat Christmas cardigan were too cute! I’m sad they got left behind.
The pants look great on you. (My first thought was that they were made for you!) I think you’re overthinking the crotch situation. If you hadn’t pointed it out I wouldn’t have noticed.
Could you add some elastic (and/or a button) to the inside of the place trousers - might help the 'crotch' issue 🤣🤣🤣
The dress on 3:27!!!!! Love itt
I am devastated that you didn’t pick up that purple dress 😫😫😫
Great buys!
About the cropped pants: just sew on some belt hoops? :)
You could sew belt loops onto the pants 🎉
I used to go to that location a lot back in 2021 but now the line gets crazy and don't find anything worth it so i just don't go anymore, it gets too chaotic! lol

is there always a line to go in?
I love the pants!!!!!!!!
If you read the rules it specifically says one cart per person. Just say something to management. At our bins it says it. I had that same issue. I called corporate and they made that change and had it posted. Management should do their jobs.
I Love Your New Video Alexa
First comment! I've never been this early before (also great video btw!)
Hiiiii ❤️❤️🙆🏼♀️
@@alexasunshine83 hii! 👋
Comfortability is not a word and it's such a pet peeve for me lol. Just say it's comfortable or uncomfortable 😂
Yes! Most of the time UA-camrs should just say “comfort”. “Comfort is really important to me in jeans” etc.
“Comfortability” makes me twitch 😂
Cheetah print is a neutral ❤
Woahhh I’m one of the first comments. Anyways a slay as always!
Hearing Alexis talking in the car before the bins, I feel like she really doesn't want to be there.
I could NEVER go to the bins. If someone was grabbing things in front of me or crowding me, I would go off so hard. It triggers my anxiety and fight or flight. Plus, its just freaking rude.
Girl I love you but comfortability is not a word 😅. Just say comfort haha.
