can we thrift our Free People and Aritzia shopping carts?!

I'm going to start my DIY one day, potentially early April, it's too late, whatever, aren't you looking very strong today, so we thought it would be fun to take a look at some of our favorite stores and imagine? what we could ask them for, but instead we save that I really want leather pants that didn't cost $80. I don't know if I'm going to find all these things, if I were to spend that much, I might as well get the one, I want you to know kid, face it hey guys, my name is Kelsey, my name is Becky and we're the sorry girls, and today we thought of a really fun thirst or challenge because you guys love savings challenges almost as much as we do.

Honestly I think so, I don't know who likes it more, obviously we love

thrift

stores but it's also fun to see what the non-

thrift

stores have to offer and imagine owning those pieces, sorry, normal stores, I don't know, so we thought about it. It would be fun to take a look at some of our favorite stores and imagine what we could order from them, but instead we saved that mm-hmm. I'm not going to buy new clothes, so this is what I have to do. Do it, yes, and I think when we save, we usually do it based on current fashion trends that include new pieces, so this is what we have to do.

Yes, I think we should head to the fake apps first, buy some things first, yes. Add to Cart Add to Cart so I'm in fancy accommodation because there are some pieces here it's one of my favorite stores but I don't buy new clothes as you may or may not know so I try to avoid it at the mall . Don't make me sad, I really want leather pants. Wow, Becky wears leather pants so they have this Melinda pants which is like a nice easy leather pants to wear every day so I'm adding it to my cart oh my gosh. not even in stock until June, well I'm going to start looking for it first, sorry, excited, hey, I'm also looking for their blouses because I don't want a white shirt.

I feel like I'm missing white shirts and they just match well. everything so oh oh wait oh I wasn't really going to go for something like this but I really like this it's going to be hard to find I'm going to add two white blouses to my cart and we're going to find out which one is easier to find so there's one that has such a cool tie and it's long sleeve because it's still winter so we're going to add it to my cart but I feel like there was another one that I liked. look here, yeah, it was more like puff sleeves, this one, this one, I love it, it's super, maybe it's not very easy to wear because it's fucking transparent, but I think if you want to go with a lot of things, they could go with my new one. leather pants, you could go with a jeans skirt, it's also a hundred dollars, let's see if I can find something like this on my travels, let's add that to the bag, they call it a bag, not a cart.

Lastly, I really want something that is comfortable and can be worn every day. I feel like sometimes you buy like-new clothes and they're always nicer pieces that are really fun to wear, but then you're like a Sunday and you just want to dress down, you don't have nice new things to wear, so that's what I'm going to do. search, maybe it's underneath, like a sweater or sweatshirts, yes sweatshirts like something like that, I can wear it and I love it, in fact I like that color, there's no way I'll ever find it, though what do I do if I can't find it this, let's add this to the cart and just so we all know I just want a high quality, easy to wear everyday crew neck, okay I have four things in my cart, but I'm really just looking for it, I love it. her pants are a kind of white blouse and a round neck easy to wear with the two white blouses, it's four hundred and sixty five dollars, but let's say if I pulled out a blouse, I'll move it to my wish list, okay, so with just a blouse, my leather pants, my simple and perfect crew neck, my total is three hundred fifty-four dollars and eighty-two from Canada, so I feel like I can probably overcome that challenge accepted, this probably won't be a surprise to many

people

, but I think I'm going to take a look at the Free People app.

I actually haven't been here in a long time, so I feel like everything will be new and exciting. I don't know what their new collection is, so let's see. I like that they always do this like monthly uh what's monthly or a seasonally seasonally seasonally seasonally seasonal collections because they show you things like books that are much more together than I'm just photographing the pieces that are for sale. I mean, let's take a look at their spring collection and see what's new. Well, you know, I love pants like this, but first of all, will they load?

But I think saving on something like this is going to be literally impossible, a bit like finding that way, but then you'll be there. I won't find it in that pattern, so I won't make that one. It's really cute, it's not clothes, it's a bag, but I like that they took what looks like a normal bag and turned it into a fanny pack. Although it cost so many dollars. wow, okay, I'm going to add it and we can see we found something like that, okay, let's see what else they have because no, I'm not feeling the spring collection, let's see what's naval, what's new, well, obviously , the spring collection is the new thing.

I can't do that, you can't make two different categories. I have to be the same. Okay, this is fun. I like it. This is a shirt dress and it's like a nice mustard color. My God! God I got out of it and I have to reload it, this is only 20 minutes since I'm the first reader with this student off it's never going to work on me now, I mean it's not like there are any, anyway this is fun, I like this vibe. I'm going to add this Add to Cart which is a bag there in - big - Oh how fun, you know what I really like overalls.

I don't have any, but I feel like I might enjoy it, be able to show it off, they're like short sleeves, but like I could make a long sleeve - this seems so easy why worry about choosing pants and shirts when you can choose one that covers everything and add everything to the bag? What's exciting? You don't need more, oh, I am. I'm going to look at skirts because I have a lot of white t-shirts and graphics to wear that I like to wear and then it gets boring to pair them with jeans. Oh, I love this, but just a kimono with lace is absolutely beautiful to find it like The first art is something else, I don't know, it's $600, $600, I'm adding it to the bag, okay, I'm already distracted.

Oh, more overalls. Wow, okay, no, okay, long skirts, well, actually, I could make any kind of skirt, but let's start here. just ridiculous, like come on, kill me, you really know it and use my data. I could do that. I feel like it's safe. It's like a big long skirt with a floral print and I literally basically have those boots on. I feel like we could do something like. this job adding it to the bag, let's see what my

carts

look like, okay, skirt, kimono, jumpsuit, that dress, ooh, that bag that was $80, I don't know if I'll find all this stuff, but I think it's something Well.

To start as references to try to find similar things, it's crazy that this cost me $1,000 to buy this stuff. It will be a really fun challenge to try to find how many of these things I can find similarly at the thrift store and how much they cost. It's going to cost me because I'm guessing it won't be anywhere near $1,000. It's okay, it smells like home, so I'm thirsty at least once a week. It saddens me. The thing is my therapy, oh my God, that's why I'm sure the next word five years ago. I've been like this, it's the worst thing I've ever seen, but now I feel like Kim Kardashian would wear this and like rocket styles, am I right?

I found something that I don't feel fit, but hey, it's not a real jumpsuit, but a jumpsuit that's pretty much the same. vibe maybe I don't know I feel like today maybe isn't my day nothing is really fighting me I don't know subscribe so we can find out oh my god it's like neoprene it almost looks cool hitting only you can make it look good like eat like a cream colored cowboy hat, why are you literally making it look good? As if working on the catwalk is not allowed. I feel like if this were open a little more, this is very close to that yellow shirt, t-shirt dress.

I saw it, only the color is. I like to lean a little too green but I think I'll try it on anyway, it's just because it's so close, okay I think I have some good options here, it all came down to looking at the tops. I'm going to need to recycle them. but this one is transparent it just has like little dots and I like this one just because it's like a very pretty material I think it's real silk okay, you're almost done um yeah thanks oh I didn't find everything but maybe you can go to another one that's the drama, yes, I think I have everything I have to try things on them and see if they really work.

Shay covers all the options, a jumpsuit much more than when I was looking for it wasn't right, this one has the same thing like gathering at the cuff it's there but it's not a cut, this one is sheer but it doesn't have the gathering on the sleeve or the fist, so either it doesn't have it or I have to add it, which is like a lot of work. Don't know. one is actually really cute, especially paired with the boots I'm literally wearing right now. I don't love how black it is. I wish it was a fun color, but it's the closest thing we have so far, yeah, I don't know.

I can't find anything that will work. It's like it's not a good day for me. It was good news. You have to look at the third star. I do not find. I'm going to go back to the office and start, aha, which I also got. Start working on the shirt because that's all I need to do, which is great and Becky, you're going to another one. Yeah, it would have a clip, so I think we'll get a lot of consignment stores with this this time. It's like a cool, useless man does that. I love it. It looks good because you, the only peasants, are always as if you were their source, much better than mine.

I can't buy anything and sometimes I don't like it. Could we be a consignment store? It could be good too or they could also say you just do the same thing or the same store so we're branching out dude if you see better leather pants that's fine so I'll start with the white blouse so I ended up not. By purchasing this one, I just got something to make this blouse. I'm really excited about this option because it has a gathered sleeve at the bottom and a gathered sleeve at the shoulder. Also, please ignore the bra situation.

I definitely used the wrong one. bra to model this shirt, I think it will be very easy to turn it into something like that tight blouse, the only thing that is not transparent, but that's okay, it's not a big deal, that wasn't what I liked most about it. I really liked that part that was cute transparent elements. I'm excited. I think this will be a shirt that can go with everything and that's why I really wanted a white blouse because I felt like it was becoming difficult to match with me. clothes, so the first thing I'm going to do is cut the collar and also cut the front where the buttons are and very well so that we no longer have the buttons or the buttonholes because I don't need them, so what I did was a rolled hem which I pinned along the front of the blouse where I cut out, as well as around the neck and sewed all of this together.

I thought this fabric would be difficult to sew, but it actually turned out well. I can also see that I made it so that there is a little point here, this is going to be where I'm going to add some ties and I'm also going to make a tie around the waist so it's gathered. I tried to make a tie with this thin piece. That was already cut out of the shirt, but who knows, it was super crooked, it was like this kind of coiled ladder and it was super stiff, so I started over. I decided to use the attached scarf fabric to tie the neck and basically sewed a tube. with a fold on one side and then a seam on the other.

I cut it from the rest of my fabric and this will be the base of my tie and then I did the painstaking task of turning it inside out. I did it slowly by pulling the fabric with a needle, but then I found my groove and used a thin popsicle stick stuck in the tube and a seam ripper to edge the fabric. This was difficult, so I don't actually recommend it unless you have a lot of time on your hands, but if you have any ideas on how to achieve this tie without all the tubing I had to make, let me know and our fellow DIYers are here. in the comments below.

I forgot to film this, but I sewed. ties so that they lay flat and folded under the sewn edge of one of the ends of the smaller pieces and both ends of that larger piece and overall I really liked the way these ties turned out. I think they look clean and somewhat professional, okay? my sum of small ties comes to the point at the top of my blouse and I just made sure to fold well under the raw ends and then sew it and that's it, so next I'm going to make more tubes. I hate tubes.

At this point, but I'm going to make a long tie that goes through the middle, so with a thin piece of fabric I took the raw side so that it would be inside the tube and then I sewed widthwise on the bottom of this tube, but all this is happening inside the shirt, by the way, but when he was showing thebottom of the tube I was smart and put the tie on first so I wouldn't have to go through it later and I wouldn't get mad or cry because it would take so long and then I just had to make sure that when I sewed the bottom of the tube I wouldn't get my tie caught while sewing the sewing and that's it. many women hours later I have my blouse I'm pretty happy with how it turned out everything went more or less as planned and I'm also excited to see how it turned outLook below, let's talk to Becky to see how her savings journey is going.

It's not exactly the vibe, more of an oh my god, like imagining the Michelin Man, but the other way around, he's okay, folks, no luck at the consignment shop. So, as a last resort, we go to the queen of second-hand neighborhoods in Toronto Kensington Market. She has the best vintage stores. The prices can be all over the place because sometimes they are better selected and charge more, but at the end of the day. She's still thrifted and thrifted, so I'm here, we have about an hour until the stores close. Now I'm in the alley, so it's just me and together we'll go see what we can find.

Looks familiar, okay, I'm back from my thrift store. trip that took me to a lot more places than I thought I would go at the beginning of this video, but that's the fun thing about these challenges, it shows you new interesting places in your city, so there is one piece that I need to do yourself before arrive. showing you exactly our entire haul and that is the

loveland kimono replica so I couldn't find one that was close enough to the real item in all the thrift stores so I found one that comes close and if we DIY It might be even closer, so on my thrift trip to Kensington I found a bunch of really beautiful authentic kimonos, which were very pretty but were extremely high priced because I'm sure they are one hundred percent silk and obviously worth that price , but it was like the same price as the three people I was trying to get a discount on, so we weren't going to do that.

I ended up finding some finch dresses too. I found this one that was a little close to the final result. but it was addressed and what needed to be cut, which I didn't want to do because it was beautiful and old and anyway it also cost like a hundred dollars, if I was going to spend that much I might as well just buy the right one. I want you to know, so I ended up finding this kind of simple lace robe type kimono. I think it's more of a robe in a shop in Kensington and will be a good base to try to make it like the real piece, so after that I decided.

I need to go to the fabric store to find the missing materials to make it even closer and the first thing I thought was that I just wanted to add some lace to the sleeves because the sleeves of the one I picked up were short and the one I want The replica has long sleeves but after looking at the trim nothing was right and it wasn't long enough so I thought hey maybe we could make lace fabric to add to the rope and all the lace again wasn't right and My concern was that because the rope already has some lace details, adding a new different type of lace would just clash, so I thought what is it about the Loveland kimono that I really liked and although the lace is beautiful, I think what attracted me to it was the fact that it had these beautiful, very 60s bell sleeves and the length was quite long too, so I thought if that's what I love, we can do it and it doesn't have to be that way. be lace, so I looked at fabric options and found this beautiful silky material.

I think it's chiffon that feels good, material that we can add to the rope to lengthen the sleeves and lengthen the length and I think overall we achieve a close silhouette. to the fruitful that was quite a journey, but wait, we are not done yet, now we have to DIY to make it look like the one in Loveland, okay, to extend the sleeves, it will be easier to make a template. I'm laying the sleeves out on craft paper and measuring the length of the sleeves, making sure to double the length since the sleeve is folded in half, so I know I need to add 12 inches to my sleeve to make it full length.

I'm working on it to get the sleeve out. I'm adding a few inches to the bottom of the sleeve and marking that line to connect the size which gives me this long triangle shape that will form the cuffs of the sleeve. when it is sewn, I am also marking the seam allowance before cutting the template. Fold the bottom part so you don't have to add seam allowance. There I placed my fabric and folded it in half with the fold along the At the bottom I pin the template and cut it out, then I'm sewing the two sides and then if I turn this over, the raw edges finish they are completely protected inside the sleeves and I am sewing both sides to make a round cup.

I also wanted to add a border to the bottom of the rope, so I'm doing basically the same process but with a long rectangle instead of a triangle shape, so to add the sleeve cuffs, I'm folding the raw edge so that it faces outwards and places it at the bottom of the sleeves, this basically sandwiches the raw edge in the middle so it doesn't fray at the bottom edge. This is also the same process of sewing it to the inside of the robe all along the bottom, okay now that I've sewn all the extra pieces this is what it looks like.

In fact, I'll keep it a little surprised so you can see it in me, but that sums up all of our DIYs and we can get to the most exciting part of transporting everything we saved and showing you how much money we saved. Well, we've both finished our DIY items and can now transport it because I'm sure you're all curious about how much money we actually saved. I'm also curious, so first I wanted to replicate this skirt, it came from three people and was originally a hundred and twenty-eight dollars, but at the thrift store I found this option, which I think is pretty good.

I feel like it fits me the same. silhouette and kind of a color vibe and an idea of ​​how I wanted to wear it and this only cost me five dollars and 19 cents sick, sick, wait, how much was it actually, but to buy it originally, yeah? 128, I know I'm going to start my DIY Piece since we just saw that happen, so the original blouse is like a cute little tie-in moment and it's $98 Maritza from Moretz, yes we love her, she's a boo. I challenged the prices so I ended up buying this blouse, it's supposed to be $6.99.

I bought it for 349 because they had a 50% off winter sale, so your blouse is winter clothing. I don't know, but we're not going to ask any questions and the final product looks like this, it's so good, which I think is very similar to the original, so I'm very happy with the result. Did you put this like this? Yes, honey, I sewed it all together, that's why it took me so long. The only thing is that because I wanted to cut so many buttons, I feel like it's a little small, so wait for your comments. I know I may need to give this to a smaller friend of mine, but I am very happy with the result.

I think it was a fun challenge and then right on the night I did it so next I wanted to find this shirt dress that sells for a hundred and forty eight dollars and it's beautiful it's in this beautiful mustard color so I knew that It would be a challenge to start. because of the color and the shape but what I ended up finding was this type of black t-shirt dress. I think the silhouettes are very similar and this one only cost me seven dollars and 19 cents so I feel like the color wasn't right though. I can get a very similar set with this hmm, yes, I'm very happy with how this looks.

I mean, of course, I would have loved something mustard, but hey, I keep it in the back of my mind because I'm always on the surprise release follow-up, that's right, that's good, so next up was this crewneck sweater really simple I want to get originally $60. You like the worst for a crewneck sweater. I feel like you would get very worn out. It's pretty classic, but I got lucky at the thrift store. I looked at the men's section and found that the women's section had no sweaters. I don't know if it's just because they put all the crew necks in the men's section because I think so.

I've also thought about graphic t-shirts, like any graphic t-shirt, they just put them on men, whether they're women or not. Yeah, I found a ton of different sweater options, but I landed on this mode, which I actually think it is. huge because it's a small size mmm but it runs big on you and I feel like it's a little big for a women's size small but it was only $4.99 so I won it's a great deal it was a little hairy but I got a film remover that I can make it perfect so next is my DIY so the original thing I was trying to replicate was this lace kimono robe $598 holy I know I get it like I get it right it's made like gold , it's like lace like a like a thick lace pattern, so it will be more expensive as well as the cost of the material which as you know, is whole cotton.

I know you sound like my mom, while I get more money, they have holes in them and then I kid you not, it's not delicate, it's beautiful. but that's a lot of money, so we didn't have any of that over and over again because it's a one-of-a-kind piece. I thought finding exactly what would be difficult, but I think we could do something with the same vibe, so this was my journey piece. I went to so many different places to find something and in the end you saw me giving out something that I think is pretty similar, so I had to leave my safe thrift store that we loved so much and go into the world of vintage antique stores.

The prices definitely go up from there, so the base rope for this piece was $20 and then I think I spent about $10 on the fabric I needed to add to it, so in total making something similar cost me about $30, but that's much more. affordable by then is the original phrase which is as always 21 phrase no, yes, yes, you know, honestly, you would be right, yes, oh, good job, thank you and then the last thing that was on my list was a pair of faux leather pants, Originally there were one hundred and fifty. Forty-eight dollars from Eddie, yes, but what people don't have to say it?

Yes, aresia, oh they do. I think that's what I've heard, some of our Americans. friends because you just caught it in the sea, I think they call it they call it SIA corona. I feel like if I saw a Ziya Rider for the first time right anyway, the point is $148, I didn't think I'd find these episodes so I was really excited when I found them. The cuts, like six out of ten, ended up being bought. I wanted something that was a little less tight and a little more high-waisted, but it only cost me $11.49, so overall a win.

I can keep hunting because now I have my stand in faux leather pants perfect when when when yes so the last thing I wanted to find was these denim overalls oh and I was more sure I should have been on this because I'm so sure I've seen coveralls in a thrift store like all the time in the men's workwear section, wait or coveralls, not coveralls, then your coveralls but with sleeves, yes, and that becomes the challenge we had. I know which one That's why I wanted them, but you don't, so let me tell you about my little trip with these guys, so we were at the thrift store, obviously we didn't find them, we went to play, I didn't find those cabinets , so I went to Kensington, which is great to find almost anything for a price and a lot of the shops had overalls, but a lot of them were like army surplus, which I feel a little strange.

I have some feelings about it, but I didn't have them and they were like green or they were car resistant, very thick, like you were working with these to protect yourself, which I understand why they are like that or the reason why monkeys exist, yes, exactly, they are like the thickness material of snow pants, but then last story. I ended up having these kind of blue denim, more like chambray I guess, overalls and they were $65 because they came from a vintage store, but let me tell you, I didn't even think I was going to find them, so the fact that I found them suitable and They are cute and half the price.

The Free People originals were $128 and mine were $65, so yeah, half price is definitely more to my liking than I wanted to spend, but I was really interested in this video. I discovered them guys, I spent my time looking for them, so when I found them I thought I had to get them. I am happy to have made this video possible. Yes, it was a tough challenge like gold. Yes, I think we did. I feel like they should try this and they haven't done anything like this before. It's like they know. Enter Pinterest. Enter your favorite stores.
