 Hey guys, it's Brandon, creator of Happily Dressed, a fashion blog dedicated to self-acceptance, self-confidence, and self-sufficiency, and welcome back to my channel. So today I am doing another $5 thrift haul. I went to my Trident True. Oh, we say that. Thirst store, Last Chance Thirst store. This past Monday, I actually had enough punches on my punch card to get $5 off. So I was able to only spend $4.98 for all the stuff I'm about to show you from Last Chance. But I also went to Value Village as well. And I got some stuff there, a little bit more expensive. That totaled out to be like $20, which is like a little crazy, considering I just got like a bunch of stuff for $5. But it's whatever, but I'm gonna show it all to you today. So getting right into it from Last Chance, I got, starting off I got these shorts. And I actually was not supposed to get them. I did not mean to buy these. I tried them on and said, you know what, I don't like them. But somehow they came home with me. So I'm pretty sure I bought them. Did not mean to buy them at all. But maybe it's a sign saying that I should give them a try. I'm honestly thinking about DIYing them. Cutting them a little bit so they're like frayed. Not frayed, but like they look a little bit cooler, more distressed at the bottoms. And then maybe like acrylic painting some, some like words across the, across like the leg crotch and leg area. Kind of like Vetmont or whatever that brand is called. But I think DIYing something like that would be really cool for these. Since apparently I guess I wanted to buy them. Next is this graphic tee. Which I also want to do a DIY. I either want to crop it or make it into a tank top. Maybe even both. But I also want to take some acrylic paint to this guy. Like cross out this front word thing just because I don't really care about a Tucker nation. So a good little white mark through it might make it look cooler with like dripping acrylic paint or something like that. As a tank top, I think it would be really cool. Springtime is really hard for me when it comes to thrifting. Because normally I like to thrift like sweaters, really cool heavy jeans, really cool heavy jackets and stuff like that. But because it's like the spring slash summertime I have to think about what's gonna be like cool. What's gonna keep me cool. That's what I meant by cool. Oh, what's gonna like translate well. Like I really don't like just wearing t-shirts and shorts. But I feel like that's gonna be the vibe this summer. So why not try to DIY my way out of looking boring by like adding acrylic paint and stuff like that. Next is another shirt that I planted DIY. Hopefully I can make that video for you guys soon as well. But I just like your average basic tee that only cost $1.99. So half off was it only was $8. And then plus I had a $5 off so it could have been free. But I also want to make this into a tank top. And I think I'm gonna acrylic paint like a saying. Honestly, I think I just want to put like hay and like make it a cool tank top. But that's this shirt. Like I said before, I just really don't like basic t-shirts. So I'm gonna try to find a way to make it not basic. Next are these gym shorts that I did mean to get. They fit really nicely. And I've been really into like casual, stretchy, loose, breathable shorts. They're so cool. They're like athletic shorts obviously. I think I'm gonna cut these as well so they don't have such a clean finish. Maybe even do some acrylic paint with it. Who knows? Maybe not though. I can get a little lazy with my DIYs. But I think they fit really nicely. And once school let out, I don't know. I feel like I've just been like gaining a lot of weight. So it's really cool to have pants that don't like squeeze me in like some of the pants that I own. I just really want something breathable and flowy this spring and summertime. So I think this will do it for me. And lastly for my little $5 haul. I got these really cool outdoor shorts. They're like a khaki color. But I'm really thinking about some kind of cool like neutral monotone or beige. Or beige outfit. And I think these would be great. Especially like with my chains and a cool belt. I think it would be really awesome. So I'm excited to style these. These really cool outdoor shorts. They have a really cool like drawstring belt kind of situation going on. That's already built into the shorts. You know, I love a good black pair of shorts. I've directed some more recently too. But I had to take the men and like I don't do a good job of taking shorts in or like any kind of pants in at the moment. So they look a little crazy. But these actually I feel like they will fit. Value Village doesn't really have a dressing room. But they're size medium. So they definitely should fit. But I'm really excited to wear these too. Because they're just so flowy and free. And I just want like air to breeze through me and like keep me cool. So hopefully these will let that air do that. I'm sorry. There's like dust everywhere. I don't know if it's from like the bag or like the fact that I have these. I've had these clothes sitting here for a while to be able to film this video for you guys. But I don't like whatever particles are flying around. Yeah, I feel like having all these like outdoor shorts makes you want to like go outside and hike. And just like be one with nature. I was very iffy about these when my friends convinced me to get them. I haven't seen what they look like on. But you guys will see what they look like on. I'm scared they're going to be too wide at the legs. But if they are, I think I can take them in. They always need a nice white pair of shorts. I have these and I also drifted a pair of guest shorts. I never showed you guys, I don't think. But they're these ones that are just hanging up behind me. These are like some white guest shorts that were pants, but I cut them. They're obviously very dirty right now, which is okay. They're kind of the look I'm going for anyway. Washing wipes is kind of hard for me. I don't do it that well. But these fit really nice. And I like love the fit of them so, so, so much. They're size 28, which is very surprising, but I'm pretty sure I stretched them out a little bit. But I love these pair of denim shorts. So next we have shirts. I got this really nice like blousey material, like cream button-up shirt that I think fits pretty nicely. When I found it in the store, obviously I found all these shirts in the women's section because I was looking for lighter fabrics, cooler textures. And I feel like you can only find that in the women's section because most brands or clothing companies that manufacture guy clothes really don't care that often just because they think guys don't care. And I don't know about you, but I'm a guy who does care. So this material is so light and the texture is just so soft. I think it's so cool. I love this cream color and I'm excited to see how I style this one as well. And it feels so nice on. It says hand wash cold. Lord knows I'm not going to hand wash that. Next, sticking with like the neutral themes. I also got this shirt that actually came with like pearls attached to it. I don't know if you can see that, but they're like pearls attached to the sky. But I think I can take it off. It's as easy as just, I don't want to take it off in the store. Because I kind of wanted to keep them low key. But it's also this little beige shirt, which I think will look cool. Like tucked in to some pants, maybe even those outdoor shorts. I was just talking about with like a white shirt or a wife beater. It's pleated in the front on both sides, which I think is really cool. But this material is also really light and flowy, which was exactly what I was looking for on my little thrift haul today. So I was super excited about that one. Lastly for clothing, I have this other button up shirt, which is like a little impie for me because it's like the green is really weird. But I think it was like bold enough to like wear it with like some light denim or I don't know, maybe even like some cargo pants or something like that. But it's bold enough to stick out as a standout piece, which I think would be really cool if worn right. My friends kept saying like, oh yeah, it looks very St. Patrick's Day or it looks very holiday, which is not what I wanted to look like. I just wanted to look elevated. And I think this color can look elevated, even if it's like loud. I think if it's worn correctly, it can really elevate your look. It does have shoulder pads on the inside, but you know, your boys are going to snip those right out. But I think they will look really, really, I think the shirt looks really, really cool. So I'm going to give it a try. We'll see how long I last wearing it. Because sometimes I like buy stuff like this that I want to experiment with and then end up not even wearing it ever, ever again. But I feel like that won't happen with this guy because it's also so light. And you know, that's all I want this summertime is just light shirts. And then I also bought these two chains from Value Village because I want to make another bag very soon, which I will record a video for you guys. Hopefully won't take me forever because I feel like it might. But I bought two chains just in case I do want to buy. I mean, just in case I do want to make two different bags. I can like have options. If you see my last video, you know what bag I'm talking about. And if you don't, go watch my last video. If you haven't already, make sure you follow me also on Instagram. I'd love to be friends of your life. So definitely give me a follow. I'll go stalk your page and stuff like that and see your cool outfits. I know most of you guys out there probably dress a lot better than me. So it's really cool to see what you guys are rocking day to day. But other than that, I will see you guys in my next video. See you guys later.
