As someone who grew up relying on thrift stores for clothing, these prices are absolutely devastating for the population thrift stores were originally intended for. Who can even spend $150 on a jacket?? I don't blame the thrifting trend, but seeing stores take advantage and pricing out the costumers who truly needed affordable clothing breaks my heart 😫
@@princessses2892 U.K. charity shops are different. U.S. thrift stores are primarily for profit businesses, unless explicitly attached to a nonprofit, such as Goodwill or Salvation Army. So, "catching on" to the trend that pieces can sell for more is to their profit, without thought for the people who truly need these stores to exist.
It must vary by location. Where I live goodwill is flat prices. So like jackets may all be 10 bucks. So you may find a good one worth way more than 10 or a stained beat up one that’s not worth it. But they aren’t priced by brand. Other thrift shops do though 💁🏻♀️
@@shilohgoes5544I know right! I stopped shopping there because of it. I felt like I could get better quality stuff for basically the same price at other stores
@@kaileyketter5144for real! I used to not mind the shitty quality of old navy because the prices used to reflect it…but now they’re trying to charge AE prices with the same old ON quality. Like no thanks
Omg. That blue and white stripe “dress” is what my grandmother calls a house coat and wears every day over a nightgown lol. I’m sorry I can’t picture anything else 😂
i feel like thrift stores that get things donated for free shouldn’t be able to charge more than like $40 for anything and that’s already high. I would understand if a store curates their things or pays people for what they give the store but if the clothes are free, there’s no excuse.
@@SophieDP1 i hadn't thought of that. some of the big thrift stores in the US that say they are charities or part of their proceeds go to charity have been found to be big rip offs. a tiny amount actually goes to charity and the rest of it goes into paying their ceo's. also some of them take advantage of disabled people by saying they're being so nice by giving them jobs but then pay them less than minimum wage. if i knew the majority of the proceeds were going to a good cause then I would feel better about paying higher prices but that's just not the case.
I’m 67 and in the 70’s I LOVED the midi look. I wore my denim ones with riding boots and almost everything was sandals. The whit, black, and flowered dress that you showed would have been right up my alley back then! Cute finds!
I agree with you, I have been thrifting my whole life and the prices are definitely ridiculous. Like you said these are used items that have been donated and the purpose for thrift stores is to help low income families and people their prices are totally ridiculous defeats the purpose. I remember I went to a thrift shop here in New York called unique and I saw a dress that I had purchased at old navy for 9.99 and I liked but lost in Sandy floods and I was excited like oh great I could replace it. But when I looked at the price I was mind blown they were asking for 24.99 I was like no way. They are taking advantage of the market most people are now thrifting so I guess that may be a reason. I loved all your purchases hope you enjoy. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a blessed day 🙏🥰
I used to depend on thrifted clothes when we were going through a really rough time ((for a long time)), and these prices?? I could've never afforded that. Makes me sad for people who depend on the thrift. Been there.
Check out the thrifters doing it for sustainability. The new clothing industry has an enormous environmental impact. Attitudes like yours are a bit dimy.
I work for Old Navy and that black dress is from last year. If it’s still floating around in a store somewhere in clearance, it’s probably like $3.99. 😢 I can’t believe how much $ thrift stores sell ON clothing for. Things I have seen were usually cheaper in-store on sale for brand new!
My local thrift stores sort clothing by COLOR instead of by size, which makes it super difficult to find anything 🙃 this is why I mostly look for hard goods (CDs, games, books, decor, etc) when thrifting.
This black and white dress suites you so dang well...I think that is YOUR dress shape....it fits perfect and brings out all the right parts of your body...hope to see you a lot in those ones
girl you SCORED!! the prices not as much of a score lol it’s insane how expensive thrift stores are getting now :/ but i seriously loved every single thing you got! i’d love to see a spring outfits video from you soon!!
So much great stuff this time! I’d love to see the blue and white grandma dress open over maybe jeans and white t? Id love a video on different ways you play around with it!
Wow nearly everything looked so good on you! Good for you for not paying those ridiculous prices on the jackets. I'm totally using the hack of looking at sleepwear for dresses and shirts if they're cheaper! We needed the spring vibes
Clever Style gave you a shot out! 🎉They said they did a video off our your viral products video. Said that you are one of their favorite TH-camrs! Yay!🤗 ❤
Hi Carrie! Cool video 😊 I think that cult dress unbuttoned and over another shorter dress would look really cute. I love long dusters and buy alot that are meant to be buttonup dresses and wear them open instead. So many cute pieces in your haul
I loved those pants you thought were “meh”!! Literally my ideal relaxed pleated trouser 😅
ปีที่แล้ว +2
hear me out - the blue/white striped dress as a two piece set!! i think the top was really cute and the bottom of the skirt too, it was just like the middle part that didn’t do anything. just cut it in half and sew an elastic to the skirt and you’ll have a super cute set!! i’ve done it with a dress that litterally looked like a potato sack on me (🥲) and it turned out great (and i’m NOT a pro with the sewing machine, that i can tell you haha)!
I think you did really well at the thrift store. I really love the white dress and black dress. I agree with you about the prices thou what the heck, kinda cheeky right? Why is it that people that like to thrift like to watch other people thrift, weird but we love it!
I live in Boston and thankfully the goodwills here are still pretty cheap, but I did notice that in LA and Portland that prices at goodwill skyrocketed. It’s probably bc of the popularity of thrifting, so gentrification.
I love that denim skirt. It was so cute and it didn't look like a mormon castoff like the longer ones do. The hospital housecoat may have been cuter with a thick belt
$46 for a jacket with holes is ridiculous! I've noticed the thrift prices going up here in NZ too. But I did get the most incredible 100% wool Hugo Boss blazer in a delicious green shade for NZD$30 that I know I'll wear for years and years.
@@shentani13 Oh yay! Where in NZ are you going? I'd say look out for stores called Save Mart - they're huge! Small towns, look out for things like "St. Vincent de Paul" and things that say Op Shop. Exciting!
@@Ginmabes were going around the Islands. Both of them. Starting in Christchurch and then going down fro. There all the way up. With the boat to the next Island! Thank you so much for the names!
For the cult dress, you might just want to crop it as a top! That fabric will fray in a kind of denim way - which will make it more casual. Paired with denim shorts, it'll feel more sexy-less pray with me maybe??

They get more than enough FREE stuff to still profit with reasonable prices it’s pure greed
I was thinking the same thing! Insanity!
@@princessses2892 like a lot of charities, Saint Vincents sucks. Same as Goodwill, being a charity doesn’t actually mean much.

the $17 for an OLD NAVY dress is what really got me. That's probably more than it cost brand new
Not nowadays! Old navy is expensive now
Off the clearance rack for sure.

Yes! My grandma feed to wear them all the time. I was shocked at her calling it a dress haha
YES!!!
It’s definitely a house coat!❤
Dressing gown 😀 I actually love it!
We always referred to them as house coats. 🤣. Sounds nicer as gown. Grandmama wore them over her clothes while at home!

JK Schnik that doesn’t just look like a house dress that is a house dress!!😂😂😂
Love the black and white prairie dresses! So cute
Carrie: I’m gravitating more towards neutrals
Also Carrie: *wears neon rainbow sweater*
Lol I love you Carrie 😂
The white and blue granny dress, cut in half into a skirt and top set would be sooo cute!
As a disabled person I’m so happy to see you continue to mask! Our community thanks you!!!
THIS!!! ❤

the floral 90s maxi is sooo cute! very Phoebe from Friends vibes to me :)
I loved the first white dress and the black one after that!

i miss american thrift stores SO MUCH thank you for letting me come along vicariously 🫡
The white dress is so flattering!!!!
That last black dress!!! Dream find
The black and white dresses look amazing on you, they really flatter your figure. Perfect !

The white and black dresses so flattering on you!
4:46 omg it's like the evermore dress
The black and the white dress were my absolute favorites too!!
girl you SCORED!! the prices not as much of a score lol it’s insane how expensive thrift stores are getting now :/ but i seriously loved every single thing you got! i’d love to see a spring outfits video from you soon!!
the Penn State varsity jacket!!! can’t believe you past that up!! WE ARE 💙💙
Omg that black dress is AMAZING!
besides the point but i think this is my favourite look of you ever!!! the hair, the sweater ... everything just WORKS!!
Yay for 90s maxi dresses! And so flattering on you.
My day is always better when I see you've uploaded! ❤
those dresses look SO good on you!!!! the fit was perfection 🤌🤌
Oh wow! I love everything you found! Those white and black dresses are sooooooo cute ❤
that cowboy boot sweater is everything 💖
That blue and white "dress" is like what my Mom wore over her nightgowns - especially with the snaps. Really liked the black Old Navy dress.
So much great stuff this time! I’d love to see the blue and white grandma dress open over maybe jeans and white t? Id love a video on different ways you play around with it!
Yes to the white dress, stunning!! ❤
Wow nearly everything looked so good on you! Good for you for not paying those ridiculous prices on the jackets. I'm totally using the hack of looking at sleepwear for dresses and shirts if they're cheaper! We needed the spring vibes
That black/pink floral dress looks AMAZING on you!
I love when you talk about your different style eras😅 I think your best finds were the black 90ies skirt, also the black dress and the white dress.❤
Carrie the white dress is perfect on you! So pretty. ❤
Love the floral maxi so good!
The way I cackled when it said “keep sweet and pray” 😂
Love all the dresses you found. The black one is so flattering. Beautiful finds.
That red slip dress would also be so cute with a black long sleeve under it
Clever Style gave you a shot out! 🎉They said they did a video off our your viral products video. Said that you are one of their favorite TH-camrs! Yay!🤗 ❤
The floral on black 90s dress 😍 I literally owned that dress in the 90s! So cute!
Also, the seersucker dress, I also think it could be cute! With black accessories, maybe some docs I totally think you can pull it off!
Hi Carrie! Cool video 😊 I think that cult dress unbuttoned and over another shorter dress would look really cute. I love long dusters and buy alot that are meant to be buttonup dresses and wear them open instead. So many cute pieces in your haul
Loveeeeed the last dress!
I thrifted that EXACT JBS dress last year! One of my favs!
The striped housecoat/dress could be really cute as a skirt. Chop the top part off, add some elastic and you got yourself a skirt!
your thrift videos are my fave :)
The jumper you wear throughout the video is so cute!!! I think the colours especially look so nice on you
The white & black dresses looks beautiful on you!!! Great shape!
I ADORE the cult dress, the cut is so so so interesting, you rock it!
Those black and white dresses look SO good on you!

That burnt orange dress gave me t swift vibes! It looks similar to what she was during the evermore portion! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg the black old navy dress and the $5.99 black slip dress at the end 🖤🖤🖤
I had that black skirt when I was younger (and much smaller). It's very comfy
The white dress is 🔥 🤩
Yes! More thrifting please!😊
looooooveeeee your rainbow sweater!! Dying I need one
Omg I love the T-shirt dress lol. Whyy is it so cute on you! ❤
Yay more thrifting!

Amazing haul! All of the dresses are so cute! 💕
You are so beautiful! All of your new finds look amazing on you!
The dresses look great !
I love that you’re masking again! Covid is not over, let’s keep each other safe.
LOVE the sweater you're wearing throughout the video. I want! It gives stoner/ JNCO/ hackey sack vibes. 🥰
The dresses look SO beautiful on you
If you still have the blue & white stripe dress, maybe have it cut and sewn into a two piece set?
The white dress is so pretty on you!
The penn state varsity jacket. That’s my alma mater, I would have bought that so quick haha
I live in Boston and thankfully the goodwills here are still pretty cheap, but I did notice that in LA and Portland that prices at goodwill skyrocketed. It’s probably bc of the popularity of thrifting, so gentrification.
Nailed it with the dresses but the blue and white striped one is definitely a house coat/nightie lol
I love that denim skirt. It was so cute and it didn't look like a mormon castoff like the longer ones do.
The hospital housecoat may have been cuter with a thick belt
That white dress is giving folklore vibes!
I would love to see you do a thrift for a capsule wardrobe, or for specific looks!
$46 for a jacket with holes is ridiculous! I've noticed the thrift prices going up here in NZ too. But I did get the most incredible 100% wool Hugo Boss blazer in a delicious green shade for NZD$30 that I know I'll wear for years and years.
Omg! Super random. I'm going to New Zealand in 2 weeks. Do you have good thrift store tips 🙈
@@shentani13 Oh yay! Where in NZ are you going? I'd say look out for stores called Save Mart - they're huge! Small towns, look out for things like "St. Vincent de Paul" and things that say Op Shop. Exciting!

Love the white and black dresses on you.
I think you could use the "cult" dress as an open cardigan like Alexa sometimes does! or maybe a sweatshirt/sweater on top and use it as a skirt?
Make that blue and white stripey grandma dress into a skirt! It would be so cute and western
That black midi skirt with the boots was giving me 90s country dance skirt vibes.
Blue striped dress: serving Tony Soprano’s mom 😭
Your sweater is to die for
Ok but I actually really love that blue and white striped nightgown dress
Omg that black dress with pockets!! (I mainly wear black)
Yesss!! More thrifting videos please ❤
Only just started the video but so many things have already gone wrong for me today and I just need to go to my safe space for a bit 😌💕
I’m impressed! Good haul.
Your shopping fit today
For the cult dress, you might just want to crop it as a top! That fabric will fray in a kind of denim way - which will make it more casual. Paired with denim shorts, it'll feel more sexy-less pray with me maybe??
That house dress tells me you’re entering your Livia Soprano era.
Great haul! That first white dress is gorgeous on you!
You should do a video of trying to dress like all your thrifting friends
Most of clothes in my closet are from thrift stores !! your video are really good , keep making more !!❤
St Vincent de Paul is always outrageous!
These prices were painful. That's how it's been at my local ones recently as well. Such a bummer.
