Today's video has been a long time in the making, and when I say a long time, I mean a very, very long time.

And by a long time I don't just mean weeks.

I mean, quite literally well, over a year.

So last year I posted a Brandy Melville hall, and in that hall I was comparing a lot of the clothes from Brandy Melville to clothes that you could very easily find at a thrift store.

Now, I have a lot of thoughts in regards to Brandy Melville as a brand, and I recommend that you check out that video.

Maybe before you watch this one, because I kind of want to pre face this with my thoughts about the brand and their inclusivity in sizing and things like that, and also their price point and all that.

The link is in the description below if you haven't already watched it.

R is basically that I had heard about Brandy Melville, but I didn't really know much about it.

I just heard the name a lot, and I was holidaying in Hawaii and I walked past the Brandy Melville store and I thought, Oh, lots of people have been leaving comments about that brand.

So I bought a whole bunch of things and I came home, and when I was going to upload the video about it, I did a bit of research.

I kind of realized that they really only cater to a very, very small size category.

They say one size fits most, most like toddlers.

Maybe they're sizing is very small, and also their stuff is kind of pricey, too.

And it's not the best quality for what they're charging.

And I had a lot of thoughts, so check out the video if you haven't already.

But basically, in that video, as I was trying the items on, I would be like, Oh, this is a nice cute T shirt but I feel like I've seen this at a thrift store before or I put on a pair of pants and be like I paid $60 for these.

But I know I've seen these pants at a thrift store for $5 and that inspired me to want to go thrift ng for Brandy Melville style clothes.

So when I went to Japan at the end of last year in December, I think it was.

I challenged myself to try and buy a bunch of clothes, just like what they sell on Brandy Melville.

So I basically wrote a little list for myself, and I was like, I need corduroy pants.

You know, I wrote a list and I tried to find all of those things at thrift stores, and while I didn't find exactly everything that I wanted, I got really, really close.

So in today's video, I have a pile here of Brandy Melville clothing and drifted clothing.

All of the clothing in this pile I bought in Japan another bit cost me more than $10.

Most of it was between five and 10, like my big rule was, I didn't want to pay any more than $10 for the clothing.

Now I don't have all of the prices on everything because in Japan One of the things that they do when you buy it thrift stores, they always snip off the prices and then they keep the price tags.

Japan's really big on recycling, so they kept all of the price tags.

So I don't have the exact price tags for every item.

But my rule when I was shopping was that I wasn't gonna pay more than $10.

So everything I show you that shifted is under $10.

Now the stores that I shop that I will put some links below about the thrift stores that I like to visit when I'm in Japan.

Obviously, no one's gonna be used to traveling there for a little while.

But hey, you can write a list of the places that you want to go to one day when we can all travel safely again.

So with that, let's finally try on these clothes that have literally been sitting in a suitcase for a year.

Before I do, I need to show you something.

If you saw my video about decorating my guest bedroom using only thrift ID items.

I The one thing that I was missing was a shelf for this corner over here, so I was using this, like K mart shelf.

So I'm starting this off in the easiest way possible with this top from Brandy Melville.

A black T shirt with stripes, the sleeves underneath.

The long sleeves are sewn into the cropped tee.

And look, this is literally the easiest look to thrift because no matter what thrift store you go into, you're always going to find a black T shirt.

And finding stripey long sleeve shirts is very, very easy to.

So here's the thrift ID version literally doesn't get much simpler than this.

So the T shirt is actually a very, very long T shirt.

I just tied it up at the back to make it look like a crop.

And to be 100% honest, this is 10 times more comfortable than the brandy one.

This top underneath is actually from Uniqlo's Japan and it is so soft.

And look, this is This is just a plain T shirt, which is a black T shirt, and it was literally 100 years.

If this is your aesthetic, you know, you know you can thrift it.

All right, So this next top, I did think that I would have a little bit of an easier time finding something like this at a thrift store.

This is the Brandy Melville top, and I love this one.

It's a colored button up shirt, and I know that I've seen white shirts like this in through stores in Australia.

But I couldn't find something exactly like this in Japan.

Now this is a shirt that's made in Japan, and it feels lovely.

Obviously, the buttons don't go all the way to the bottom like what the brandy one did.

The brandy one was obviously like cropped, and it was also quite tight.

So this is Look, I feel like this would be a pretty easy thrift flip if I wanted to turn this into a crop top like the Brandy one, but I actually really like the relaxed fit.

It's much more comfortable for me to wear a shirt like this than a cropped one that shows my belly button.

So this might not be my aesthetic or my personal vibe to wear something like this, but it does seem right up the brandy Melville Ali and there were so many tops like this at the store.

There was literally a rack of button up Colin T shirts, and they came in all different colors, too.

I would have been very happy if I found a white one.

I'm just trying to get the general vibe, and like this sort of top, it's all over Brandy Melville.

Very easy to thrift, something like this to all right, bear with me here.

This is the point in the video where you need to put on your abstract thinking caps because I couldn't find a cropped stripey t shirt in Japan.

I looked in like 10 different thrift stores, and I couldn't find exactly what I wanted.

But I did find this, and I know that it's obviously not pink and white, and it's not a T shirt.
