 How about we both do it? Let's see. Okay, cause it's recording so we can just do it. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Hey guys, it's me Brandon. This is my friend David. We're here at Value Village. We're doing a cool thrifting video today, but this is my new internet friend. Guys, get your wine. He's from North Carolina and he recently blew down here just to hang out and have a good time. So I've taken him to Value Village. I know you see it in the background. Just to kind of get him out of his comfort zone. So he wanted from this trip to kind of like branch out and like thrift or like see what his new style wants to be or what he wants the style to be in general and just kind of like express himself through his clothes. You know, that's what I try to do all the time with the stuff I wear. Even today, even I'm in a basic t-shirt and some jeans. Still feel like it's me. So I'm gonna let David take it away now. Definitely, yeah. So the reason why I wanted to branch out with Brandon when I wanted to meet him so badly is because I did stumble upon his channel and saw what he was all about. It's like creative, like self-expression, having that confidence. And I feel like there was definitely like a part of me that lacked a bit of that. Our mission today was definitely like let's try to find some clothes that speak to me and feel like I can express myself more with those clothes. Definitely. Kind of like step out of your comfort zone. I tell people that all the time. LOL. Is that when you go thrift shopping, try on any and everything. Anything that sparks your eye. Just take it and try it on no matter if it's women's, men's. It doesn't really matter. Just put it on and see like how you feel in it. That's how I find most of my clothes. We all know I shop in the women's section like crazy and that hasn't changed. I'm happy that David can be here and that we can do this together. So we're gonna kind of show you a before and after of like what David's wearing now I guess. And then like what we find and like maybe put the outfit together and show you, maybe also show you what we find for him in general but then also like show like a final look. See, this just feel like you, it's just still experimenting because it's a lot of trial and error. Sometimes you find things that you like and then realize that oh you know what maybe I really don't like that. That's how you end up with t-shirts. I hate t-shirts. But I still manage to pick one up every time I go to the store. And then three days later I'm like wow that's bad. So it's always trial and error. We're gonna take you guys with us. And yeah, let's do it. Doing a little spin. I'll give him like a little hey. Alright guys so we're in my tried and true value, I mean not value, we're all even there. Last chance you guys know how I come here all the time. I found some cool stuff. We got David's some cool stuff. They felt really well. They did. They were cool. That's what I'm talking about. Stephanie out of your comfort zone. But yeah, we found some really cool stuff. We might hit up Goodwill after this. That's three different places. And then we're kind of like we'll wrap and kind of show you guys what we got. Do a little haul for you. And then we'll call it a day. We're in like this random parking lot at Goodwill. But we're gonna show you guys what we got for David. We got these. These are the baseball pants right? Yeah. Or like football maybe. One of the two. Yeah. Sports pants. Yeah. Really sporty pants. But I really like the way they fit. Yeah. The photo shines through it. The stripe is cool. Yeah. And it's also like out of my comfort zone. Oh we also got like, we also paired it with this denim jacket. But he wants to do more with. Yeah. So like I kind of, I really enjoy this denim jacket. But I feel like I'm sad. Like I'm more rugged like to it. They would just like paint on the back as well. Yeah. But I would say that's pretty much a fit. And if y'all feel differently, y'all can come at me in the comments. I don't know. Because I think it looks really cool. Because you guys know I like to rock some uh, some uh, I don't know sportswear. But I think that's a fit. I would go for the fact that that is a fit. With some cool sneaks, that's a look. So we're gonna, we're gonna show you guys more now. Yeah. So, took out this Puma hoodie. Vintage Puma. I really, so what stood out to me with this was the color. I just immediately was, I gravitated towards the color. I almost actually put it on. It's like a perfect fit. It's uh, I don't know. Like I'm feeling this. No, I like it a lot. I love this hoodie. If I could fit it, I would wear it. But look at that. Boom. It's also super fucking soft. Yeah. And it's a great color. Watch your mouth. I'm just kidding. We also found these jeans at Value Village. Uh, they were a chance because you can't try on anything at Value Village. But I say they fit pretty nicely. So, me and, me and David differ with the fact that I have a really high waist. Which sucks. I have a short torso. But he has a long torso. So he can get away with like other pants. And like these are good. We don't have to necessarily like wear it with this fit. But we found this really cool like red baseball belt. They're like stretches. I think the material is really unique. I'm like, I mean I actually own one. I found one like the other day. So we got David one. So we had matching belts. But no, I love that. All right. So as you can see, these pants are really different. It's not something I would usually wear. But honestly, I'm digging these. Yeah. I don't hate them either. If I'm being honest. Like they might be like baggy. But depending on what you wear with it, it could be really, really cool. So it's branching out. And sometimes you branch out to see different trends. Whether you like them or not. And like that's the part of like experimenting with style that I think is so crucial is to like pick things that you might not normally wear. And even if they look a little crazy, just try to make them like fit your style more and like feel for you. And like sometimes it just doesn't work out. And you just, you give up. At least you know that wasn't your style. So I always think it's good to just try any and everything just to see like what's up. I'm getting the arm workout from this heavy camera. See, it's shaking a little bit. I'm shaking a lot of it. So we got a similar type pants to that blue one. This one's are like, I feel less baggy. But at the same time, they're still really comfortable. And it feels like I can be, I can run around in these. Yeah. But I can actually look at the same time. Feel fashionable. No, yeah, I like these a lot more than the blue ones too. I think it's always like good and cool to get like a versatile pair of pants that you can like one wear on a run if you really do need to go running. Sorry. But too, like I feel like those kind of pants would be like really cool for like street wear looks like you wanted to find today anyway. You could like pair those up with if you were like a label head or whatever. You could have like a, I don't even know, I like lost my train of thought. But some like really cool tee like tucked into those and like, I don't know, rocket with some nice like dad shoes or trainers, some like all white socks and stuff. I like to get pants that I want a worn one way and then like wear them a completely different way. And I feel like you can do that with these. So much with these. I don't know. I feel like I'm going to have a fun time just trying to step out. That's really like what we're trying to do. So we just want to like come on here and give our final thoughts now about like the whole experience and like how David felt. He felt like he went out of his comfort zone. I definitely think he was. That was a butterfly. I hope you guys saw it. I don't know. I don't go thrifting for people a lot just because I like to find things that are like unique to my style. So it's really hard for me to like get in tune with other people's styles. But and we even ran into a problem with some jeans that were too small. Yeah. Always try your clothes on kids. But I think we got some really cool style transition pieces in general. I think we we found a style that David really enjoys like with these like jogger wide pants. These black ones are fine. I love it. I'm wearing these somewhere way back. We like found a style that David might really want to like grow into. I think that's really cool. I think it took me a while to like grow into like high waisted jeans or like tucking my shirt in and things like that. But you just kind of have to experiment with what's out there and find what you like. And when it when it feels true to you just kind of like grow into it and see where that takes you. So my whole experience thrifting Brandon actually made it a lot easier because thrifting for me like I just it's hard for me to have a patience just like to look for specific stuff. Especially because I wouldn't really know what to look for and just having Brandon here to help me. It was incredibly like just helpful. No and you do actually have to have patience. I spent like hours in a thrift store just because when I enjoy it but also like you have to really love. It's fun. Once you actually find that piece you're just like Shit! Yeah like oh look at that. Look at that. You got like on full of things. He didn't get tired of me being like wait let's come over here. But wait wait wait let's go over here. I enjoyed it. But yeah honestly leave in the comments kind of like what are your tips and tricks for finding cool things in a thrift store. How do you like branch out from your style. I know sometimes it can be hard. Let me show y'all this shirt. Yeah I'm truly branching out. I bought this camo like straight up like I hunt camo. But it looks really cool like even with the I like the red logo a lot and I put it on. I want to make me look swole and I can tuck it in to almost any cool pant and make it look pretty fire. So I'm even branching out from my style because I use this shit on camo like left or right. And I feel like you should never stop like expanding. No yeah. Being open to new things in general. I feel like my confidence before or like even a little bit now which is still like I just don't feel like I'm at like my full potential. But like having fashion as a statement to like letting other people know just by what I wear yeah. Yeah just expressing yourself. And just feels like by truly wearing what I really want to it's making my self confidence grow. So I just I don't know it makes you feel good when people appreciate you for you especially like when you dress for you. It's just really good to be appreciated for the way you express yourself your creativity and like how you see yourself. That's how others see you. Once people truly see like the authentic part of you and they see that it shows the way you dress and they appreciate that. And I think that's really cool. And actually it makes you feel good. You don't dress for anybody else. But when people gravitate to you because of the way you dress because you dress so you know people like you. That's the cool part. So that is it for this week's video. I want to special thank you to David for coming out here from North Carolina. If you guys don't know I live in Georgia. Charlotte. Yeah.
