I spent $174 on a thrift store mystery box and it was just kind of okay 🤷🏼‍♀️

      Me, too, but there aren’t cardinals in California or most of the West. We first saw them when we lived in Ohio (where there are a lot of interesting birds) , then, none on the West Coast, but now in the Upper South, we have cardinals and lots of other pretty birds, which I like.

    hm... the fact that some of these items weren't washed before they were shipped out (for a hefty sum!! wth!) is a weird thing for the sellers to do. whenever i donate my clothes i ALWAYS give them a good wash because i know i hate it when i pick up something off the racks at the thrift to look at it and it has a bad stain or a weird smell on it. nasty.

    As a reseller, I am honestly a bit appalled by the quality of the items as a whole. I understand these are secondhand, but I’m curious to know if so many flaws were mentioned to you before purchase? It just doesn’t seem like whoever packed this box put much thought into it. 😅

      i’ve purchased from this place before and can attest that they don’t inform you if you’ll be receiving very worn items with stains and such. i know on their website they state that there’s grade A and B items and grade B can have stains and such but they don’t tell you what grade of items you’ll be getting. i’ve gotten some items that were veryyy stained and worn to the point where i don’t see them as wearable and spent all that money for me to just not keep it :(

    Hey Alexa! I vote try dying the Mickey sweatshirt a light color if you hate the cream. Also it is classic vintage Minnie Mouse that you see her bloomers. It’s part of her regular outfit. Think it’s kinda like the bloomer shorts trend now. I agree with your overall assessment of the thrift boxes

    I sooo remember seeing the “Schmidt House” sweatshirts! They were prominent in the early 90’s malls. Yes, it’s a little crass but I bet there are plenty of people (older than you) who fondly remember it.
    I loved so much of the stuff you felt lukewarm about. That is ok because I imagine you are saturated with these clothes so you need them to be a wow.

    I'm not sure if they would be your style but I would recommend cropping some of the sweatshirts (and/or t shirts) Also, I just wanted to say that if you don't like cartoon or Disney t-shirts, or they are not your style, you could've chosen a different category (I'm saying this because I feel like for Disney and cartoon clothing, there is a higher percentage for you to get something you don't like, since it is a very specific character or movie, unlike other t shirts where you don't necessarily have to like the band (or college) to wear the t shirt/sweatshirt, and they look more vintage overall. I don't know if other categories were sold out then, since it was Black Friday, but I did see some vintage categories on the website that may have been a better choice, or at least would've had a higher percentage of getting something better. ( the pro sports & college categories, especially the jackets, and the denim jackets also looked nice )
