Just to let you know Alexa, when I resize my jeans, I take them in from the sides, that way you don't lose the back belt loop, and it's much more comfortable when you take a little from each side. Just taper it down like you would if you were sewing in a dart. Then cut off the extra fabric, and zig-zag sew the loose edges of the denim so it does not fray....It works perfectly for me!
I think it’s crazy when you guys go thrifting and don’t even try something on and they fit perfectly. I can’t even find jeans that fit when I try them on lol. I miss thrifting so much. It was something my mom and I used to do all the time. I also LOVE the Zena jeans that have the embroidery or coloring. Literally love
Nada Aouine tbh I thought that dress was actually cool, even though it made its way on all the “cringiest outfits celebs wore in the early ‘00s” articles. I wouldn’t wear it to my wedding, but I still thought it was cool
Just wanted to say that although buying from Levi’s isn’t as sustainable as thrifting obviously. Levi’s has done a lot of things to make themselves a sustainable brand and even on their website they tell everyone to buy secondhand, reuse and recycle their product, and much more. In terms of buying new jeans, a place like Levi’s is a really great option and for the price they are also very good cause of how long they last. They cut down their water use and a bunch of other things to make their jeans.
When a jean fits perfectly on my tights and butt, but big on my waist, one thing I do is, I sew a thick elastic on the back and it cinch the waist. There are many youtube tutorials that show this.
Love your collection! I started looking for “real” mom jeans because of you! So far I have found a few pairs I really enjoy wearing. Real denim just looks so much better than the thin stretchy kind!
I've been thrifting for about a year and a half and up until early March I had never been able to thrift jeans. However, I couldn't believe my luck when I eventually found a pair of Levi's and some Zara mom jeans both within a week of each other!
you're fav jeans are my dream to find!!! i think i'm going to try and alter different thrifted jeans to make them fit like yours cause the ones you have are the ideal fit!
Your denim collection is everything ❤ and I so appreciate your thrifting and styling tips even though my options are a little more limited due to where I am in the world and my curvier bodytype. But it's youtube channels like yours that have inspired me to love denim more, through showing your own style evolutions, the different denim options available and how to style them etc. I've always had such bad experiences with denim growing up. My hips developed first like 3 years before I ever got my first period even (sorry if tmi lol) and this meant I had to wear women's sizes before anyone else at like 10 years old, so my mum would always have to hem them cos they'd be too long lmao. I basically used to associate jeans with horrible fitting room experiences and feeling like my fat ass was so out of the norm I just shouldn't wear jeans at all. I think from age 16 to age 22 I just gave up and literally never wore jeans. I wore mainly skirts, dresses and flowy shorts or at most culottes lol. Now I have at least a couple pairs of jeans that I love and even though they are fast fashion, I've had them for about 3 years now and they're in great shape and I plan to continue to look after them so I can wear them for another 5/10 years. I don't know if I have ever come across high waisted Jeans in the charity shops we get here as of yet, but dammit I will never stop looking lmao. Here's hoping this crisis subsides so I can continue my search! Also I ordered an embroidery kit recently so I'm hoping sometime in the future I'll be good enough at it that I can revamp a couple of denim pieces too...
I love your jeans but I think I get more excited to see how you'll style them. You have such excellent taste as far as I'm concerned. You always pull together such cute looks. I absolutely love your bubbly personality. It lifts my mood immensely watching your videos. I'm always impressed with the quality of what you do. ❤👍👍
If you look for a place that carries super high waisted in lots of lengths, American Eagle is great, they're highest rise is 12 inches which is amazing, and they have a ton of sizes too!
I've never been here so early! A crazy short blizzard just hit here in Ottawa Canada last night, spring was springing but then BAM snow and now its -14 Celsius here suddenly 😭 at least it's also a sunny day so that makes it better! Gloomy days no matter the temperature are bleh 😂 anyway the point of that was that anytime I see a post from you it always brightens any grey days 💛 Thank you for the denim themed video! Every time I hear you say how much denim you own I always think hmm you should make a whole video dedicated to it haha
I've never seen one of your videos so early lol! I found your videos a couple of months ago and I think I've watched every one of your videos since then haha. You just have such good energy and your style is so amazing!! I just love you so much!!
Watching this makes me so happy, but a little sad. Happy because I can't wait to have such an amazing collection of denim thrifted jeans like this. Sad because I can't go thrifting to find amazing jeans that I can one day have stories about .
I love this video!!! I totally understand your love of Jean's. I have a very LARGE denim jeans collection 😬 Some are 30+ yrs old.....all in excellent condition. It's hard to say my very very favorite....although my Calvin Klein button fly & Levi's 501 button fly....are probably my two favorites....they are from 1997. My last thrift in February I bought a pair of Vintage with new tags...never worn high waisted Rockies Jean's with pleats in the front for $3. I don't know what they were thinking letting them go for that. And a Tory Burch pair of Jean's in a bunch of crazy colors $3. Now you have me wanting to get out all my Jean's and try them on. No joke...I probably have 60+ pair of jeans 😬 I would not be surprised if there is 100 pair. I'm going to count today!!
I use to buy all my jeans from pac sun or urban (when I had enough money) because I thought they were the best brand to go to for jeans, but I realized that I never really wore the jeans I bought because I didn't like how they fit me. One day I realized that the only pair of jeans I wore daily were a pair I thrifted from goodwill. Now all my jeans are thrifted from depop and goodwill lol. FYI Vintage LL bean jeans are the best!
I just found you and I love it! I often feel like fashion bloggers are either size 0 to 4 or size 12 and up, really appreciate seeing someone more petite with a look I can relate to Ps. All bodies are good bodies ofcourse but it's always nice to feel represented :)
for resizing jeans, I always put an elastic at the waist band (the waist band on jeans are typically double layered so i just cut an opening to feed the elastic through)!! I always have the problem where jeans only fit on my hips and not my waist so it helps a lot😂
My favorite pair of jeans are lee’s and I got them for $0.89!! They were on sale and really cheap because there was a patch on the knee, so I distressed them. Ugh this has me missing thrifting even more 😩
i could only dreammm of finding a pair of pants that fit like the second pair you showed😭 those are PERFECTTTT!! it’s so hard finding my size at the thrift store tho :(
Oh my gosh, I miss my Xena jeans 👖 so bad! They are My absolute favorite and I'm not sure where to go to thrift a bunch of them. I am 5 feet 2&1/2. So finding them in petites is no problem at all.
Do Levi’s/wrangler have plus size denim? I’m in need of new jeans and obviously we can’t go out to the thrift store 😔 I’ve looked on websites that sell second hand and there isn’t really anything in my size sadly
@@alexasunshine83 hi Alexa love ur videos god bless u n stay safe!! R u still looking for a wedding dress if so pretty pastels plz has 8 brand new 👗 with the tags on the they r gorgeous they range in price 175.00 to 379.00 no they r not my dresses I saw the video with them n thought of u
"If I'm taking my pants off- it better be worth it." Had me screamingggg
This is my new saying now

I can imagine Alexa leaving all the wedding dresses behind and getting a Britney Spears Denim dress for her wedding.
Nada Aouine tbh I thought that dress was actually cool, even though it made its way on all the “cringiest outfits celebs wore in the early ‘00s” articles. I wouldn’t wear it to my wedding, but I still thought it was cool

Aw man I miss thrifting 😂 I had a dream last night that I went to Goodwill 😅
KtRosemary I’ve had 3 dreams in the past month that I’ve gone to thrift stores 😢
"if you want low rise.. i mean WHY" lmaoooo meee i could never wear low rise again!
Hahaha I can’t imagine wearing low rise now 😅
Love your collection! I started looking for “real” mom jeans because of you! So far I have found a few pairs I really enjoy wearing. Real denim just looks so much better than the thin stretchy kind!
Really???? Omg yes !!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👖👖👖

The colorful ones are definetly my favorite
You should do your all time favorite thrift finds! Your top gems you’ve found/already have!
Yes!! Definitely will be !!
If you look for a place that carries super high waisted in lots of lengths, American Eagle is great, they're highest rise is 12 inches which is amazing, and they have a ton of sizes too!
alexa: so if i'm going to take my pants off, then it'd better be worth it.
me: that's what she said.
Carlota Fdez-Palacios De Simone totally heard that in a Michael Scott voice 😂
last time i was this early, people were still able to do thrift with me videos
eventually, i want my jeans collection to look this great!
Perfect timing! I was just thinking that once this is all over, I'm going to a trip to find the perfect jeans for me!
When I was super fit I was really into low rise, that changed quickly as I put on weight lol
I've never been here so early!
A crazy short blizzard just hit here in Ottawa Canada last night, spring was springing but then BAM snow and now its -14 Celsius here suddenly 😭 at least it's also a sunny day so that makes it better!

Thank you for the denim themed video! Every time I hear you say how much denim you own I always think hmm you should make a whole video dedicated to it haha
Currently trying to improve the jeans selection in my wardrobe haha. You have been very helpful and inspiring in this endeavor! Thank you :)
Aww you seem so excited and happy making this video! It shows that’s how denim makes you feel ❣️
It was so fun 😭😭😭😭😭
Those flared flame jeans are BOMB!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Route 66 is the old Kmart brand ! Who would’ve thought they would be considered great quality despite the store having disappeared
I've never seen one of your videos so early lol! I found your videos a couple of months ago and I think I've watched every one of your videos since then haha. You just have such good energy and your style is so amazing!! I just love you so much!!
I just did a thrift store flip video on some vintage Levi’s I have. I love thrifted clothes especially vintage jeans! Yours are so cool.
I love the Forever 21 jeans and the Zena jeans.
Dang I can’t wait to get to go out and thrift jeans !
Omg the flame jeans are my favourite ones! So cool 🤩
Totally feel you on the long leg issue... regular length jeans fit as cropped jeans and then cropped length jeans are a different story 😬
Hey Alexa ! I think it would be super cool if u could do a vid in which u show ur fave thrift finds xx
👌🏼👌🏼 coming soon!!
@@alexasunshine83 yayy
I love that you play sims! We need a play with me video or a story lines video
Honestly loved this video, Alexa. My favorite ones are the Wranglers (the one without pockets) and those from Oregon!
Ah both I love so much!
Also thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️
Those flame pocket black jeans are 🙌, amazing collection Alexa!
The flame jeans are so fire!! 🔥
I looved your jean collection! I hope to see your denim jacket collection now!!

Watching this makes me so happy, but a little sad. Happy because I can't wait to have such an amazing collection of denim thrifted jeans like this. Sad because I can't go thrifting to find amazing jeans that I can one day have stories about .
I always wear yoga shorts thrifting so I can try the jeans on over them if I can’t pop into the dressing room, def recommend
The black outfit is amazing on youuuuuuuu

please post more on depop or poshmark your style is literally my inspiration!
Soon!
The Zena colorful jeans from House of Vintage are my faveeee 💘🙌🏼
Those wanglers with no pockets look so good with that shirt! I wish I had a shirt like that
I loved my wranglers with no pockets gives you a great fit
Is silk cool? I have wanted to post a couple mystery vintage scarf boxes, potentially for shirt thrift flips. I love a good denim&silk moment.
For those colorfull jeans you could add an elastic to the waist either on the sides or just where the tag is
YOU PLAY SIMS!? THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY I'm playing sims as I watch this, I'm so curious about your story lines!
HECK YES!!!! It’s my favorite thing haha
I just found you and I love it! I often feel like fashion bloggers are either size 0 to 4 or size 12 and up, really appreciate seeing someone more petite with a look I can relate to Ps. All bodies are good bodies ofcourse but it's always nice to feel represented :)
That second pair is just... stunning... 😍😩

So difficult for me to thrift denim that's short enough but also big enough for my tummy. So I just end up rocking a raw hem 🥴
