It's always a mystery how many videos Alex has filmed, but hasn't posted yet. Equally it is always a delight when she does post them!
my guess is adhd. I do the same thing but with craft projects
@@iiSquishynarwal sometimes it's like watching my partner going off on like 5 different tangents while he tries to tell me one story he remembered happening to him and I have to jump around in my mind with him to somehow hopefully maybe follow him.
@@DieAlteistwiederda haha I do the same thing, but luckily my husband also has adhd so get gets where I'm trying to go.
I’m still holding out hope that one day we will see the rest of the Japan videos from January 2020 🥲
She said at the end that she lost the memory card that had this video footage on it.
One of the reasons, why the sweaters were most likely so pricey: These are not prints. The pattern is clearly knitted. And this is always far more expensive than if it's only printed.
Also a small tip, so they stay in shape as long as possible: Don't dry them hanging, but lying. Cotton has almost no give and when knitted tends to go baggy easily.
I have set myself a rule: The price/ or sale price of an item will not decide if I keep it or even worse sway me from my first impression of the item. If I put something on an feel like I‘m wearing my grandmother‘s couch, it’s a no. The sudden rush of BUT IT WAS +230$ and now it‘s only $70 will soon be gone. Then you are left with „well this looks like my grandmothers couch.“ That’s why I rarely shop at outlets since it just tries to play into your psyche/ emotions
Agree, I follow a similar rule during major sale «Do I actually like it? Or do I just like the price?» 😝
Yep, I have a rule of not buying clothing unless I will actually wear it. To add on I don't buy skirts or shirts unless I have an outfit in mind for that piece, either pairing it with something at home or already knowing what to buy to pair it with.
Taking into account the cut of a piece and especially the material makes things much easier, since I have sensory issues I have to be very particular about how the material feels and that definitely changes my mindset real quick.
Spending 400$ on sunglasses is bad enough, but them being 700$ originally is insane! Ive never understood sunglasses of all things costing so much! Clothing, I can understand certain prices from actual designers (not like Gucci, but like Teuta Matoshi). But I also struggle if anything is over 100$ lol
Same!! The ONLY thing I own over $100 (clothing wise) is my wedding dress... it was $250
Yeah nah, $700 is too much regardless of brand LOL
Only thing I currently own that was slightly over 100 bucks were my prescription glasses that I actually need to see and function as a human in society. Never would I spend that much on clothes but I mean other people can do what they want.
@@DieAlteistwiederda I get my glasses online from those cheap websites, so like about 50$, but I've only got astigmatism in one eye, the other is just really near sighted because of progressive myopia. Like I'd love to have more designer stuff, but also 700$ sunglasses seems so weird to me
One word: Luxotica. They have an insane monopoly on the entire glasses industry which has allowed them to inflate the costs of glasses (both sunglasses and prescription glasses) that cost mere cents in materials to hundreds of dollars at retail.
I love you Alex, but I personally find it outrageous when brands are that expensive and then use materials like... acryl... Oô Never ever would I buy something like that.
right? Like you know you're being scammed...
Acrylic clothing is not breathable so not nice to wear for more than a few minutes. And it is bad for the environment. Ridiculous how they ask so much for cheap material.
You're basically paying to wear an expensive bin bag. I wish brands would get more flack for using plastic to make their clothes.
I cannot agree with you more!! I check the fabric composition before I buy and I can’t get over some brands charging 500+ for 100%polyester.
I get it on one hand but on the other hand I see why some brands might opt for it. I myself cannot wear wool for the life of me (no matter the quality I get red red rashes). So only cotton, linen or those “lovely” plastic fibers lice acrylic or polyester are and option for me.
But ofc it’s best for the environment to use biodegradable natural fibers..
I would love to see you do a video like "My 10 favorite items in my closet" or "Styling this one piece of clothing for a week" or something similar 😊 It would make for good content without having to buy more clothes
I am so happy that Alex decided to post this video even though so much time has passed. This video was delightful just for her energy and joy at the fit of her new clothing. OH the ending with "What she kept." was so nice! Also hearing about how the Iconic deals with returns was ok, like most of the stuff was returned no problem and so that is good. I don't wear designer clothes but watching this made me reconsider because of the quality showing on the track suit she wore for 10 months still looking brand new. Wow.
Why does lucy look good in literally everything?!
"This should be $300" yes, linen is pricey but geesh. I have literally 25 full linen vintage dresses and I never spent more than 100 for any of them, and I bought them in the past couple of years. The literal only item i would spend 300 on would be a gunne sax. Even my wedding dress only cost me 80 bucks. I only bought the fabric. Handmade!
Gunny sacks .. I remember them well they were with every single girl in the to the 8th grade graduation they had to be perfect and they had to be from the gunnysack outlet in San Francisco??
Lucy in that lime green risque-top outfit, with her pink hair, looks like a badass floral gym leader, while Alex in the white furry one with blonde hair makes her look like a badass ice type gym leader...
Two members of the elite 4.
One of the things I love the most about your videos is the range. I could never ever afford any of these clothes and love living vicariously seeing you wear them!
But I also love seeing you mix it up with more affordable brands and thrifted outfits too!
Thanks for all you do, Alex. ☺️
No like i LOVED that matching blue luxe set SO MUCH. I am extremely jealous
11:30 clothing that opens up all the way like that are great for accessibility. Some folks have a very difficult time putting on dresses and other clothes due to disabilities. I used to be a DSS and an HHA. I had several clients who used clothes that either were made to open all the way up or some even had to cut their clothes up the back.
I agree, clothing like that is incredibly helpful both for dressing yourself if you are disabled but also to dress other who can't do it themselves.
Even if you look at able bodied people, I'm disabled but don't really need accessible clothing, I have very extreme proportions so depending on the fabric pulling stuff over my shoulders can be just as impossible as pulling something over my hips. Fake buttons don't make it easier for me to get the clothes on at all.
Yup! I hope she sees this 😊
also being able to unbutton a bit more on the top is great for breastfeeding
When my husband and I were caring for his mom, she was completely bed-bound, and I found her some shirts that had a yoke on the back. The back yoke gave a nice stable place to stop when I sliced it up the back for her to wear in bed, plus it also helped keep her shoulders covered exactly as much as she wanted.
LUCY LOOKS SO GOOD IN EVERYTHING. Literally everything.
I was just thinking: "I miss the pastel Queen!" And here you are... XDD
I started buying a little bit more expensive clothes like a year ago or so... I noticed they have a way better fit and the material always feels so nice. So, this results in me having to buy less, because I've already got pretty things at home and also because one piece is already expensive, so I really REALLY need to have it. Thanks for sharing this. ^^
BTW because of you I gave hellofresh a try and OMG I love it. ^^ I was scared to try... So thanks for that... XDDD
Okay, I left a kind of silly comment originally, but I just wanted to also say thank you so much for putting yourself out there for us to watch and enjoy. You're always such a bright spot every time you upload, and as someone who had to call off sick today even though I work from home, I really needed the joy you bring. Love you, Alex!
Me: mm, this shirt is $30, it's too expensive.
Alex: I impulsively bought this dress that was $150.
I'm more like at walamrt oh this dress is $20 sings "that's to expensive" 🤣
I am like alex. I spend money on clothes and purses and shoes however i am much older than yall. So i should be able to afford my lifestyle at my age
The first yellow 'workout' outfit reminds me of any early 2000 movie where there is that one mum that goes walking or speedwalking with her gossip group.
I'm surprised you returned the light blue cardigan because you were so in love with it. Great video, keep up the good work.
Alex! You came up with such a good video idea: “7 Ways to Wear it: styling the modular cardi every day for a week”. Okay, it’s not the catchiest title but you get the vibe.
Edit: I’m at the end of the vid now and the cardi is gone 😭
I would never pay this much for any of that clothing. I'd have anxiety from the moment I put it into my cart until the moment I got it cleaned and hung it back up after wearing it. And probably still have anxiety while it's hanging in the closet. I didn't even let my husband spend more than 200 on my wedding band/engagement rings. I just can't do it.
I agree! The most I've paid for a blouse is $25-ish.
I don't see how they can justify charging that much for any of that
I’ve never spend more than $100 on any piece of clothing either
@@katdbris I wish I could do that, but it's very hard to find clothing that fits well. Especially tops. I've found that upscale brands $60-$200 range offer better options for my body shape.
@@loverrleei spend alot of money but i try and keep each piece under 100 dollars
Me when lucy tried on the clothes: i am looking...respectfully 👀👀👀 also surprised you returned the stripey set, the fuzzy blue set and the princess peach dress. I'm obsessed with them on both of you
Please try eshakti. This brand lets you customize the neckline, sleeves, and length to fit what you want and need. They are from US sizes 0-36 and you also tell them how tall you are. And all the dresses have pockets. Yes they have pockets.
I order from them and the quality is amazing.
I so enjoyed your thrift on line designer clothing hauls that you did during thriftmas. More please!
Wear the sheer blue top UNDER something! Like a tank top or dress, especially ones that you wish had more comfortable straps, problem solved lol
I've been wearing a dressy long sleeve underneath a bustier or corset type top on top
The floral dress from Faithful looks like a 90’s Easter/church dress. Honestly, I’m super envious of it. I love 90’s looking dresses.
The pixie-bob hair cut looks ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ON YOU ALEX HOLY CRAP. Holy crap. Just. I can’t. I can’t look at you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey Alex. Just a tip. You can steam that green gingham dress in the dryer by putting it in the dryer with a wet washcloth for 20 minutes. Should get the wrinkles mostly out.
I love the update from present Alex! Seems like the green dress would be a very quick mend for a local tailor who would very likely appreciate the business ❤
I agree! She usually gets help from Sam to tailor or alter her clothes.
I think I'm just too thrifty to pay these prices! I've snagged some great deals at my local thrift store. It helps that its near a rich neighbourhood 🙂 I'll just wait for stuff like this to show up there. I personally would never pay over $100 for a sweater
I find so many high-end brand-name items that are New with tags at my local thrift store because I live in a higher end area despite the fact that I am not high end
@@allana1997 exactly! I find the same things.
quick tip about clothing:
if the design is added after wards with dye or paint, then it is called a "print"
is the design is sewn or weaved into the fabric at any point in the process, then it is called a "pattern"
.
It just really bugged me when alex called the clearly woven in patterns of the sweaters "prints" when prints are specifically designs made on the surface of garments using processes like screen printing and vinyl stickers. just felt wrong.
OMG THE ORCA IS DEFINITELY THE BEST!! It’s really too bad it’s sold out now. I don’t normally spend a lot of money on clothes, but I would for that sweater. So pretty.
Hey Alex! a brand I've been checking out for a couple of years but never actually bought from is Big Bud Express, I don't know if they're really your style but their styles come in every color of the rainbow. They're a small business based in LA and it's pretty expensive but consider checking them out if you have the time! :)
I have lots of clothes from them they’ve raised their prices hella in these last few years but I continue to support them because of how ethical their business is ran, I would love to see Alex do a review too!!!! Their clothes are really sturdy and good quality
Paused at 11:35 to say one reason dresses button from neckline to hemline is so they can be worn fully open over an outfit, like they're a duster. Try that green dress fully open, over a white tank and light denim shorts and paired with sandals for a very chill spring vibe
Alex, this was poorly timed since I'm trying to not spend a lot, but I'm SO EXCITED that you're back that I don't even care that much!! 🤗🤗
LOVE THE BLUE DAISY DRESS!!!! LOVE THE LIME GREEN DRESS
There you are girlllll, long time no see!!! Missed your hauls
24:55 it’s giving Ice Queen going to the ski lodge realness and I love it!!!
I only liked the killer whale out the 5 jumpers. love that sunny something jumper 😂
I loved the update in the end! And the fact we saw Lucy as well in some clothes.
That Alex McCall dress is EVERYTHING!! I really hope you kept that!!
My favorite video is when I get to time travel with you.
Took a break and then came back to see more of your vids. You're a delight to watch and you radiate a lot of positivity and honesty! :D Lighting can be so deceiving when you're looking at items online. It's so hard to tell if it'll actually be that exact shade until it actually arrives. The amount of times I've gotten things online and then when they came, the shade was more different to what I expected... it's maddening! I used to mainly wear black and a few darkish shades of colour, but am more into pastels the older I get and it's hard to find pastel stuff online without it looking a different shade, due to how pastels particularly catch light differently to darker or brighter shades of colour.
You should review the magic that is 'Romance Was Born'. They won Australian Designer of the Year last year from the Aus Fashion Laureate and have been a staple in my wardrobe for over a decade.
Always a good day when Alex uploads!!!
i'm IN LOVE with that coat, oh my gosh is that PRETTYYYYY!!!!!
I love that orca sweater!
Same, I’d keep that one!
I loved it too!
I just fell for the killer whale sweater even though it's a 100 miles away fromp being my style but dangggg that's an amazing piece !!! Thanks as always for the content Alex, i missed you !
YAY SO HAPPY TO SEE THESE BACK!!!! Love you Alex!! ♥️
Yesssss the clothing hauls are back!!! Don't be tempting me to spend money now ♡♡
yessss I have been CRAVING a haul vid !!!! 🛍️🛒🏷️
Please will you review Vina of the Valley. It's Mikan Mandarin's new brand and I'm so eager to see the pieces.
So excited to wake up and see a new haul video from Alex! Thank you SO MUCH for choosing to share so much with us! I very much appreciate it and you've definitely helped me smile on days I really didn't feel like it. You seem like a genuinely good person who deserves genuinely good things!
That Green Daisy dress is beautiful on you and the buttons stop at the cutest place it looks great on you very flattering
literal wardrobe goals
ooh so many nice things this vid and the update at the end was great too to see which ones got kept/worn! also love the red hair you look like a fashion designer or you'd run a fashion mag (very if Miranda Priestly from devil wears prada was in her 20s) i love it !!
So happy you’re back🥰
I’d definitely watch a top 10!
Blue rainbow 🌈 sweater is the best one on you! Love it!
Branding making clothes expensive is so weird. 400+ $\€ is what I usually pay for my normal glasses, with my bad eyes and from a mid price glasses/lenses place. These sunglasses were kind of cute though, ngl.
Really happy to see a haul from you. It's been such a long time. Reminds me how lovely you looked with the blond hair with all these pastel clothes. Hope you feel comfortable with the hair cut/color you've got right now. I know it was quite a journey.
My last pair of glasses was "only" 115€ but only because they had some kind of promotion going on where all frames were free and then the lenses were cheaper as well.
Otherwise my glasses would cost up to 300€, I definitely can not afford that and what is ridiculous is that I only have the standard nearsightedness without anything else being wrong with my eyes. My sight is bad still but also not as bad as it could be. Glasses people actually need to function should not be that expensive. We kind of not have a choice but to correct our vision in some way after all, it's an aid for a disability. A very highly accepted disability but it's still one.
@@DieAlteistwiederda totally agree. I also just buy glasses when they have a promotion going on unless I need new ones really badly. Because of how bad my eyes are, insurance covers some of the cost of new glasses but it's still a couple hundred euros usually. Glasses should be free! Or at least more affordable!!! I know it's like a part of the economy or whatever but that shouldn't be regular people's issue.
I always would rather purchase from a low to mid range luxury brand then something high end like Versace or Gucci. I have a lot of unique and lovely pieces from Ted Baker and IMO, the quality is usually the same it just doesn't have the same mark up.
I have the linen pink dress in black and omg I love and every time I wear I get sooo many compliments 💞
I loved the things you kept, the blue dress looks amazing on you
Oh man, what did i miss? I thought you were going back to your ginger roots & doing wig reviews while your roots grew out. I really hope you'll still do the wig videos because i suffer from hair loss & really trust your judgement. Love you Alex💗
The blue flowery dress that reminds you of a couch. Is 100%the MOMO homer wears in Simpsons
Ok. The pocket moment was the most adorable thing I've seen all week. Thank you.
Love this video thankyou for sharing you and Lucy both look beautiful in all the clothes 💕 can't wait for your next video ☺️
If a dress has real buttons all the way down, you can also where it open as some sort of jacket/ kimono/ cardigan piece :)
The blue mesh top: I wear my sheer tops under dresses/dungarees/waistcoats/sweater vests/corsets. I don’t like the effort of trying to get something to work underneath the mesh.
Missed you! It is great to see you back!! I would send the green pants & top, most of the sweaters. Only keep one sweater. My goodness where have you been? I was worried about you.
Love the Killer Whale sweater and the House of Sunny ones best esp as you’re going in to winter in Aus
My mum hurt her shoulder and love's to wear dresses but can't put them over her head so buttons all the way down is good for people who have low mobility. Not just older people but young people who can't put dresses over their head or step in. I know you could put a back zip but again people with low mobility buttons are great and gives people to be able to wear the clothes they like and have be able to dress themselves which is great
Hi Alex! I absolutely love this video. Reaching out to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So nice to see you posting new content. I wanted to mention that I went online, filled up my cart with amazing items and deals, only to find out that they don't deliver overseas. Truly disappointed but wanted to let you know. I thought you looked amazing (as usual) in all the items you purchased and am so happy that you are moving in a new direction as far as quality and material and sustainability. My Spidy-senses are telling me that you are going through a time of reflection and personal growth. I say that because I had moments where I thought...where has Alex gone! Why isn't she posting new stuff....
Your content has helped me get through some tough personal times. I don't mean to put any pressure on you at all, just wanted to let you know that your spirit and soul has reached far beyond Sydney. I hope you are doing well and want to wish you all the best of health, happiness and safety. And thank you for all that you do. The earth is a large place, and the internet is even larger. I've thought of starting my own youtube channel for a while now, but the idea of exposing myself is frightening to say the least. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression and have ADHD. These diagnoses haven't stopped me from living a very active, fruitful life until this effing pandemic. So if you are experiencing any of these symptoms you are not alone. I have been told I'm an empath. So maybe that's why I thought mentioning these things were important. Not just for you but for all your viewers. it's important that we destigmatize mental health issues and promote conversation so that we can help eachother. I apologize if this is not the platform to do so, but what is...
Thank you so much for being a light in the darkness Alex,
Your Canadian friend, Robby.
P.S. I can't figure out why I can't type a question mark...LMAO! Something wrong with my keyboard.
Lucy looked like little mermaid in the pink dress it was super cute
Coined the 90s preschool teacher print! Spot on.
No way I'm this early to a video. I missed your uploads, gonna grab a snack and enjoy every second of this!
I'm keen to see if you'll ever start making your own garments! That would be really fun content to watch!
I definitely needed this video. Had a poopy day I just needed something to make me forget and put my head in the sand and be blissful. Love from Melbourne
You look absolutely beautiful in this video. The acrylic sweater was my favorite 😍
The killer whale is precious and I love him, but *$160?!?*
you both look so greatt in all of these, I just love seeing the outfits on different body types! off the topic of fashion
I just love how loving and encouraging you and your friends are and how open and comfortable you guys are with one another, I am very envious of such close friendship, its honestly so wholesome to see! Also @46:43 is my Bi-panic face whenever lucy is in a video, she is just so lovely and stunning
Yellow suit is beautiful and looks so cozy
To style the blue shirt with eyelet fasteners, I'd choose a bold color bralette. Either a neon color, (or for a more subdued look) a black, navy, chocolate color. Or, just find a light blue bralette to wear under-that would look like it was lined with another fabric underneath.
please do a local heroes haul! it's a Polish brand and they're getting popular worldwide; I think you would love some of their collections
Lucy... keep the hooter hammock set lol 😆 love the vibe
I love when you shop and I get to see it because I am not a big clothes fashion. Can’t match colors lol
I loved seeing what you actually kept! I'm very much the same type of purchaser where I will buy more and try on when it's off the iconic or asos
Love this video! It may be interesting to do a video on learning how to mend/alter clothes in your closet. Pieces that would normally get worn frequently end up tucked away or forgotten if a button is missing
I miss these pastel girly try-ons!
I'm trying to be more purposeful with my purchases too, so I look forward to seeing what you discover!
I would pay 30$ for that blue daisy dress over 100$ for the pink linen. Linen is not an expensive fabric even though i know there are different linen fabric qualities.
To be honest the Peggy set gives me Bratz vibes and I am here for it!
I think all that green set needs is a roll of fashion tape.
The blue rainbow sweater is definitely my favorite, I also liked the blue with the flowers we don't know
Yaaaaay I've been missing your videos ! Welcome back !
Alex how do you choose?? You look darling in everything !! Thanks for the video! ❤
I think I've visited your channel twice this week to check for an upload so you know I woke up this morning like yayyyy!!
I really hope you kept the flower sweater, I it's not daisy's but it looked really cuteeee on you!
Lucy in the pink dress! I know it’s not her style but she looks so 🥰 cute
I like the local heros set better. The sunshine track suit before with the pockets was also super, but I like the length of the local heros sweater.... lol the green hooter hammock. Keep up the amazing content
missed you my dear but take your time and I will be happy to see you in my timeline when you feel like posting
I think a load of people need to realise that this is AUD. 2000 AUD is 1400(ish)USD and 1100(ish) GBP. So some of these things, although not cheap cheap, are not as expensive as they appear to be. Also Alex we need for hour long videos! 😁
