I hate the wallet panic! So glad it was a false alarm 😅
Such a relief that you found your wallet. It's so easy to misplace items when your in a hurry in public.

as soon as I realized that I didn't have it, my stomach started turning and I felt so sick, I literally got my main credit card stolen online last week and getting that all taken care of has been a whole ordeal! I'm so glad it was in my pocket 😅

I'm going to make a crossbody bag just for ph & wallet & wear it around my neck. Now I'll have to go thrifting for my materials
I hate the anxiety attacks not finding a wallet where it’s supposed to be and immediately feeling like someone just bought something huge already on my card that might not even be lost haha! And it being in your pocket is gold to this story haha. So glad it wasn’t lost though!

reading this comment really lifted my spirits tonight!! thank you!!!
I just tell people that I shop for textiles. Then if they ask more, I tell them. I really enjoy doing it also. I have discovered both table cloths and shower curtains,(Yes I have the coolest 100% cotton one with tiny multi colored pom poms...will soon be a summer dress. I also buy curtains, duvet covers, sheets, baby gause covers, pillow shams, some upholstery fabrics (for jackets, waist pieces/sashes,vest, and hanfu skirts), pillow cases for teired dresses. I have 1 very special 100% cotton scalloped and embroidered bed skirt. Oh it will be a very special teired dress. I have bought a great pair of boots to wear with it. I keep my eye out for same fabric in different colors for color blocking. All these from Goodwill. I also have picked up a lot of expensive apparel fabric there (including dupioni silk). I am hoping an unbelievable embroidered linen piece will still be there tomorrow.
Thank you for the tip about waist around the neck, it works
Use vinegar to clean anything from thrift shops along oxy will remove any stain and smells. I have kids and pets and clean often laundry
I hear you on the men's pants having pockets. I finally gave up on women's jeans a few years ago. I only wear men's jeans now and I love being able to stick my hands in my pockets up to my elbows 😂

I haven't owned a pair of pants in property 10 years that had decent pockets!
Those jeans fit you perfectly in my opinion and the colour is amazing!

As far as how fabrics smell, I hang them outside in the sunshine until most of the smell is gone, then I wash. Otherwise, it will always stink.

Use white vinegar on the rinse cycle when washing thrift fabric/clothes ..debunks pretty much everything
Can you explain wrapping the waist of the jeans around your neck?
@AlexandriaLayne
Ай бұрын
It’s pretty straightforward, you just button up the pair of pants you want to test, and wrap the waist of them around your neck. Most a lot of people’s neck circumference is Half that of their waist circumference. It worked for me before I had a baby, but I’m Not sure if it still works now that my body has changed dramatically
6:50 isnt there a way to make clothes bigger? add more fabric? main reason for me watching this video.. trying to figure out if i cn lol
I hardly ever thrift for actual clothes anymore, it's always "now how can I use this to make me into another fictional character?"
