Hi guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

It is currently 8.37 on a Saturday night and I am having the best Saturday night doing what I do best, scrolling on Pinterest.

You guys might think I'm joking right now, but like this is actually true.

I've been specifically saving a lot of things to my outfits board.

So I thought, why not film a video of me trying to thrift the outfits that I pinned.

What often happens I realize is I just save a lot of the same thing.

Like you can find consistent themes throughout my board.

One of them being clearly a lot of layering.

I love layering and for some reason I don't ever put in the efforts to do it.

So I'm thinking getting some long sleeve basics of things that I could easily layer.

I've also been saving a ton of fall jackets.

I love this brown color but I also like this kind of more beige color as well.

Jackets for me are hit or miss.

So we'll see if we'll see how that goes.

Speaking of layering, one thing I've noticed a lot of that I've been saving are tops layered over lace bralettes.

I love a good lace bralette.

And the problem is not the fact that I don't need a lace bralette, but what I need is something

that I could layer over where you can see underneath like a tank or this button down tee, something where I can style it nicely.

I also really want to see if they have any skirts.

I really like these ones.

I wear the same miniskirt that I have all the time and it's getting a little redundant.

In terms of bags, I notice I'm saving a lot of stuff that has some texture.

Either suede, which is pretty basic but so beautiful, but I also really have been liking this weaved pattern.

Obviously Bottega is known for that, but I also really love these going out tops.

There's so many that are really cute, but it's just something that I actually need.

I feel like I have the same two tops that I wear when I go out.

I think I'll know it when I see it type thing.

And then I don't know, that's kind of what I have saved at the moment.

It's so interesting when you take a look at your Pinterest board from afar,

because often you do notice these overall themes of things that you're saving that you don't even realize you're doing it.

And I just want to see what I can find secondhand at like a thrift store or a vintage store.

So I have the lists of things that I need, or at least that I'm looking for.

And I'm going to head to a couple of the stores tomorrow morning and I'll see you in the morning.

okay i made it to brooklyn my first stop is this place called eltrine vintage

and for some reason i can't remember

if i've been here i think i have i'm also sort of regretting this haircut

because it's so short why did i cut it this short i don't know it was impulsive

okay we really started from the bottom here

because this thrift store ended up being a fail i got

nothing for a second i actually was interested in this jacket

but then i realized there was a giant hole in the

arm special shout out though to the minnesota twins i knew

i didn't want to buy anything just to buy something

so i guess it can only go up from here okay to be honest, so far, no good.

I do want to stick to my promise to myself.

I'm not gonna like buy something just to buy it.

We're gonna keep going, stay optimistic.

I'm at this place called Awoke Vintage in Brooklyn.

One of you guys came up to me actually in the previous store

and I was asking her about this place

and she said it's pretty good but it is a little bit more expensive

because it's more of a vintage store than a thrift store.

We'll see, I have no idea what to expect, but yes, before you ask, I did find this place on TikTok and I have no shame.

So thank goodness I didn't give up because this is where I started to see the light, okay?

I will take a TikTok rec very seriously and I'm glad I did

because there were several people who posted about this vintage shop on there.

I do have to say, though, this is more of a vintage store.

The prices just aren't as cheap as a traditional thrift store, but I was still excited to see some cool secondhand things.

Starting with this Ralph Lauren jacket.

It really wasn't the fall-themed jacket that I was looking for.

It was also a kid size.

It was, like, an extra-large size in kids, so it kind of just, like, fit me weird.

I also tried on this leather jacket, which, again, I don't know.

I couldn't put my finger on it, but jackets are just, like, always tough for me.

And then I started to get a little discouraged

because I tried on another shirt and I wanted it to fit tighter than it did.

Passed on that.

Also didn't like this shirt.

But this is where things turned around.

This shirt, I think, is the coolest shirt I've ever thrifted.

I love the sewn collar.

I love the flowers.

I love everything about this.

And it was only $35, which I don't know if I should be saying only $35.

Also found this jean skirt, which I thought fit me pretty well.

suddenly my spirits are lifted i had a much higher rate

of success there although it was more expensive i think it was worth it i really love what i got

and honestly like i recommend that store

if you guys are over in the area it was worth all of the hype and more

i got hungry and thirsty so i went to partners it is uncomfortably quiet in here but

that doesn't stop me from doing my favorite thing ever filming

in public i've been really in my black iced tea lemonade arnold palmer era i hate saying

that word it's just so good and refreshing like midday so got one of those.

I'm also really hungry and the kitchen was closing in three minutes

so I felt very pressured and I asked the barista what she recommended

and she recommended the breakfast sandwich and it comes with a little cup of fruit.

It's honestly a little sad.

There's like barely anything in there.

This channel slowly day by day, week by week turns into a food review channel and I don't really know how I feel about that.

I can't tell if I'm just really hungry or if it's a really good breakfast sandwich.

I'm feeling a lot better now that I've had some success.

I'm going to revisit my Pinterest boards.

Remember why I'm out here.

This is serious.

This is serious work.

I stopped at one more vintage shop, Bedford Vintage.

I couldn't resist because a gang TikTok drew me in.

This is like the same old story, but they had really cool like mesh detailed tops.

And this one, when I saw it immediately, I ran to the fitting room with it.

100

I love the wide neckline

101

and I also just love the pattern this was sort of

102

what i was envisioning for a going out just dinner top it was 50

103

so i knew i had to go to an actual thrift store with thrift store prices

104

and i walked into buffalo exchange saw this bag

105

which i thought really fit exactly what i was looking for

106

in terms of the woven style they also had quite a few long sleeves

107

which i thought were potentially nice for layering now don't be fooled

108

because this top threw me for a loop at first and i thought this was never were gonna happen, but I had a little patience and persistence.

109

I sort of like tucked it in and I thought, wait, this could actually work.

110

I love making this whole thing dramatic.

111

Anyways, then I went and I saw this jacket.

112

So basically this was a massive success.

113

Shout out Buffalo Exchange.

114

Okay guys, I'm back.

115

Not to brag, but I do think we did really well.

116

And since the second I got home, the only thing I can think about is putting these outfits together.

117

Sometimes if I buy new pieces and I don't spend the time putting together outfits.

118

I don't really know how or like what to wear stuff with.

119

So I want to take a second, put some outfits together based on everything that I just got.

120

Of course, using my style board as kind of a reference.

121

The art of styling is definitely a skill.

122

I used to be quite bad at this and that makes it sound like I'm now good at it.

123

I wouldn't say that, but I've definitely improved.

124

And I think the more you style, the more you kind of know and figure out what you like and what you don't like.

125

And it's going to be kind of like a little mini haul

126

because I'm going to show you guys everything that I bought.

127

First thing I'm going to style is this long sleeve black top.

128

Now this was something you guys know I almost didn't get

129

because when I first put it on my body it swallowed me.

130

That sounds weird.

131

Okay.

132

I did give it a second chance.

133

Once I sort of played around with this and tucked it in, fixed the sleeves, I thought this could be really cool to layer like so.

134

Since I've been really loving a lot of layered pieces on Pinterest, I thought this would be perfect to do it with.

135

This is the base that we have.

136

I'm thinking jeans.

137

Okay, jeans were definitely the move.

138

I threw on these Levi's that I really love.

139

Something I love that is just such a classic easy thing to do is throw on heels with jeans.

140

And these heels I think will go so perfectly with this top, right?

141

I can't tell if I want to do a belt with this.

142

I actually don't know how much I like the belt with this.

143

I think I kind of want to just keep it really dressed down without it.

144

Okay, so scratch the belt.

145

The secret to a good baggy tee, in my opinion, is really figuring out the art of tucking it properly.

146

Sometimes I'll just like stick it in the bottom of my bra.

147

I feel like I just always have to play around with it a little bit until it sits just right.

148

Finishing it off with this beautiful new bag that I just got.

149

Don't be fooled though i did not buy this i'm trying

150

out this thing where i rent bags from it's called vivriel

151

okay vanishing touch some sunglasses i just found these in the

152

bottom of my drawer i don't even know where i got them but this is the final look

153

okay next thing i got that i want to style is this top this is from the brand vince it was $20.

154

This is one of those pieces that I liked it 10 times better once I put it on.

155

Sometimes it's opposite.

156

Sometimes something looks good and then I put it on and it's worse.

157

It's super simple, very similar to a lot of like the button downs that I had pinned on my board.

158

I'm thinking it'd be cool to wear this unbuttoned a little bit and put like a lace bralette under for some detail.

159

This is definitely making the whole outfit a little bit sexier, but I kind of like it.

160

You guys know I just I love a good lace bralette

161

especially recently as you guys know since I'm wearing the black

162

I want to sort of bring out the black a little

163

bit more with some pants these low rise pants from reformation

164

are perfect with this I'm gonna try these black flats with this I got these from quince a

165

while ago okay I know I'm gonna get roasted in the comments people hate

166

when I don't wear color

167

and I don't blame them I've been really trying I love

168

a good simple outfit I have This little clutch is actually supposed to be a makeup bag, but I kind of like it as my little clutch purse going out.

169

I don't know how I almost forgot to show you guys this jacket that I picked up.

170

This was the last thing that I saw as I was leaving the thrift store.

171

Obviously, you know, I really wanted a nice fall jacket and this I thought was perfect.

172

It's actually a men's jacket which sometimes they look better on.

173

It's the perfect color that I was looking for, sort of this like cream beige.

174

It has this sort of snakeskin crocodile print to it.

175

I think it'll go with so much stuff.

176

Like even with what I'm wearing right now, it's perfect.

177

My favorite thing that I got is something

178

that I didn't even really planned to get or it wasn't on my Pinterest board.

179

I know it kind of defeats, does it defeat the purpose of the video?

180

I don't know.

181

I loved the color.

182

You can kind of see it has like a little bit of stitching right here and it has some more color.

183

It's more fun trying to spice things up, add a little bit more color to my wardrobe even though there's literally five singular red flowers on it.

184

No idea how many stylists, so let's do that right now.

185

I don't think even if I tried I could put into words how much I love this top.

186

It's just so cool.

187

It was also $35, which I was pretty happy about considering is it from a vintage store.

188

I decided to put some really casual jeans on.

189

These are my go-to pair.

190

I wear these like every day.

191

They're from Abercrombie.

192

I liked this little brown vintage coach bag with it.

193

And then I think I'm going to try it with these little brown heeled flip-flops.

194

Somehow I almost forgot that I also got this jean skirt.

195

This, I don't regret it.

196

Regret's a strong word, but it was pretty expensive, okay?

197

I think it was like $59.

198

So this is like not a thrifted skirt, but it is a really good, just simple, classic staple piece that I honestly probably am going to wear really often.

199

I do almost like it with this top.

200

This could even be an outfit in itself.

201

I think I lied to you guys.

202

I think this top might actually be my favorite.

203

This is just the most flattering silhouette of a top.

204

I love the neckline on this.

205

I love the little floral pattern.

206

It just gives a little bit of character

207

and I've been trying to find more tops that are nice for going out that aren't just like plain.

208

It was 50 bucks so I'm not gonna say it was a steal.

209

I just paired this with some black slacks again, the same ones as earlier, and then some little black-heeled booties.

210

And then to finish it off, the only bag that I got thrifting was this one.

211

This was $16.

212

I just really liked it.

213

I was immediately drawn to this when I saw it on the rack.

214

And I just realized that this goes really well with this top

215

because you can see there is some of this exact shade of green in the top.

216

I would say this is my ideal going out outfit.

217

Okay, guys, that is everything that I got.

218

I think this was a massive success I feel like I

219

really stuck to my boards I got a lot of good staple pieces

220

that I think i'll make a ton of use out of Let me know if you guys like these videos.

221

I love making them.

222

Love you guys Thanks for watching and i'll see you in my next video.

223

Bye

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
