00:00so just imagine it not wrinkled and like super cute and awesome it has deodorant stains on it

00:05because i've been wearing it so much and have not washed it at all probably my most signature

00:08pants on this tour that everyone gives me compliments on are my polka dot pants

00:39hey guys it's chelsea from wilt we're here in chicago at lincoln hall on tour with taylor

00:43egghorn and i'm going to show you some of my stage outfits we've been on tour for over a month

00:50now

00:51in a sprinter van so this is my little show suitcase that i bring um i do usually put like

00:56my steamer

00:57and my makeup and stuff on top of it but for the purposes of this video we have the clothing

01:01already um but yeah i bring this into pretty much every venue unless we don't have a green room which

01:06happens sometimes is the opener um and this is all my shirts these are all my pants slash bottoms and

01:14i kind of just try to mix and match um i end up wearing the same thing kind of a

01:19bit of the time

01:20because i do have my favorites but i try to i try to switch it up as much as i

01:24can um especially for

01:26like different cities super random and i'm sure no one like even pays attention but i don't like

01:31to wear the same thing in like a city twice so like for example last time in chicago i wore

01:36these pants

01:36and like a shirt that i'll show you um so today we will not be wearing that but yeah let's

01:43get into

01:43it all right so these are my shirts um most of them are thrifted or second hand but we'll just

01:48do a

01:49little rapid fire and i'll tell you a little bit about each one um this is my radio head shirt

01:53i got this

01:53at a smoke shop in calgary canada love this one i do wear it on a daily basis too but

01:58i love it so

01:59much that i wear it on stage as well um this is another one that i just thrifted it's this

02:04vintage

02:05guest little um like button up top i do also wear this on a day-to-day basis i don't

02:11have as many

02:12stage clothes as i'd like especially for like a 26 days tour which is what we're on right now so

02:16i kind

02:16of just put a bunch of stuff in here um this is probably my favorite shirt to wear on tour

02:21and it's

02:22also the one i wore last time in chicago i went to all my favorite cities um this is my

02:27grail i got

02:28this at a flea market for 15 dollars it's this moda international vintage 2000s little like corset lace

02:34up top um it has deodorant stains on it because i've been wearing it so much and have not washed

02:38it at all it also probably smells pretty bad but i can't sniff that on my nose right now um

02:43let's see

02:44this is another one of my favorites this is by a brand called ragged priest and it says i hate

02:49it here

02:49and this is actually a phrase i use quite often um just whenever something is happening that is like

02:55funny or silly or i don't like i say i hate it here so this is perfect for me moving

03:00on this is a new

03:01addition this is one of my favorite designers vivian tam and this is actually a spring summer 1998

03:06runway piece i've gotten very into fashion lately but i do not have the budget for like the expensive

03:11fashion so i was able to find this on ebay for 40 dollars um which was such a steal such

03:16a steal i see

03:17this go for like over 200 so very excited about that i had it shipped to my house in la

03:22when we

03:22played there and i've been wearing it ever since um this is another shirt i thrifted i think it was

03:28like saint john's bay or some like old woman brand like that no offense um but i cut out the

03:33inner

03:34lining so it's sheer i love wearing like sheer stuff on stage with like a little bralette underneath

03:38i'm not like super comfortable with like my stomach out but i like the idea of sluttiness

03:42i'm just not myself um so this is like my in-between kind of thing let's see this is just

03:50a plain black tank top for when i'm feeling uninspired also thrifted yet again thrifted i

03:56actually haven't worn this this tour um because it's been too cold but i used to wear it all the

04:00time um it's this little vintage like i call it my chain mail it's really cool on it looks kind

04:06of

04:06shapeless but it's so cool i've worn it for countless wilt shows and i will bring it with me to

04:11every

04:11tour even if it is 20 degrees outside um moving on i really like the band mannequin

04:18pussy they're by far my favorite band of all time i'm obsessed with them and so this is my little

04:21stage mannequin pussy shirt that i just wore in lawrence kansas it has mannequin pussy bedazzled

04:27i love them i love this shirt um moving on we have this little vintage um for 21 vest it's

04:35another like y2k piece i haven't worn it either on tour yet unfortunately um i used to wear it a

04:40lot

04:40just because it's been so cold and then last two this i also have not worn this um one but

04:46i've

04:46worn it to a couple other shows it's super wrinkly right now because it's been in here

04:50for over a month and it's not been taken out so just imagine it not wrinkled and like super cute

04:55and awesome and not like a rag and then last but not least what i think i'll probably wear tonight

05:01this is one another one of my favorite tops um it's by the brand apres studio which is another

05:06brand that is way too expensive for me but i got it in a resale shop for like 40 bucks

05:10um and it's super cool it's also really wrinkly i'll have to steam it but it has these like long

05:14um like strings that make me feel really fancy and i use a fan when i perform so they kind

05:19of

05:19blow in the wind um i also like to call them like my toilet paper so like when you're coming

05:24out of the

05:24bathroom and like toilet paper is hanging out of your pants like that's the vibe that this gives

05:27and the buttons in the back are broken so that just stays open that's all the shirts all right

05:33bottoms aka my favorite part um we'll start with some of the stuff that i got in dtla i really

05:41love

05:41going to the fashion district in la where i'm from um and so a couple of these pieces are from

05:46some

05:46small boutiques in santee alley they're just like small designers this is one of my favorite i also

05:50have yet to wear it on stage because it's a little bit too big for me but it will happen

05:54it might happen

05:55tonight who knows but i'll show it anyways because it's oh that's the back absolutely gorgeous

06:01so detailed so beautiful this is from a place called ethos in downtown la and i freaking love

06:08this skirt i just have been like wearing more pants this tour because it's been cold

06:13um but my other skirts i love plaid i haven't been wearing plaid as much this tour but it's like

06:18a staple of my style um so i have this little settle down i don't know this brand i think

06:24i thrifted

06:25this at goodwill um also very wrinkly little plaid skirts another thrifted skirt except this one is

06:31free people and this one's gorgeous this one makes me feel like a mermaid i love her she's beautiful

06:39um and then um this is my last skirt that i brought this is probably my favorite of the

06:44skirts and the one that i've worn the most on this tour i also thrifted this it's just like different

06:49plaids going on which i really like i love patterns um so this is one of my favorites and then

06:56i'm also

06:57really into like pants that kind of look like skirts or just like big wide pants so diving into those

07:03these ones are ones i thrifted that are so sick they are this brand la hana i don't know i

07:12can't

07:12find it online anywhere i think they're vintage um but they're so cool they have this kind of like

07:17um like gwen stefani thing going on with them and like these pockets super super wide leg which i love

07:23they look like a skirt um next these are also from etla the fashion district from a place called

07:30aquarius by irma um it's right down the street from ethos and these are like probably my most

07:36worn stage pants they're very minkly right now but you can kind of tell again that they have

07:40like a lot of like structure i look like an avant-garde moment um and i actually have these

07:45in like a kind of pukey pukey green color as well i don't know what you'd call this color but

07:51it's like

07:51it's like pukey green um puke yes i'll stop saying puke now um and then probably my most signature

07:59pants on this tour that everyone gives me compliments on are my polka dot pants um these

08:05are both from ethos in downtown la and i'm obsessed with them i've been wearing them to like as many

08:11shows as i can since i got them this summer and they're just like this linen material and so cute

08:16these ones are like ladybug vibes they also have like the kind of like interesting like kind of

08:20kind of like barrel-y i would say look to them love these and then these are like my just

08:26my favorite

08:27pants of all time i wear them all the time too just day to day because they're so me but

08:31just

08:31like funky fun pants i love the polka dots i love patterns especially with my all black top wardrobe

08:38yes footwear for shoes i really only wear these ones i brought like three other pairs of boots with

08:44me at first and didn't wear any of them and so i dropped them off at home but i love

08:48these i got

08:49these at goodwill these were like 15 at goodwill actually my mom found them um and they're so comfy i

08:55look giant they're they're pretty heavy but i feel really powerful in them and i like wearing

08:59them because then when i go to like sell merch after the set i tower over everyone um and they're

09:04really cool they have like these like kind of these are not functional i don't use this part but they're

09:10really cool regardless these ones these ones are by club x club e xx i don't know i'm not sure

09:21about

09:21the brand but i love them i love big chunky boots i love being big and chunky and yeah i

09:28probably

09:28shouldn't be holding the bottom of them so this is my little makeup set over here um i have a

09:33bunch of

09:33stickers on it from various places and let me get into it it's really disorganized as you can see

09:40but um what i've been using a lot of is this morphe palette that i got it's like this like

09:46cool toned which i like because i'm super pale and so when i wear like the regular brown eyeshadows i

09:51just look weird um and this is more of like a grungy vibe which i like going for with my

09:55makeup

09:56so i love this another thing that i've been using a ton

10:01i just got this but i i'm wearing it right now i love it it's the half magic sparkle

10:07sparkle stick um and i don't know what color this is but it's like this gorgeous here i'll swatch it

10:13for

10:13you this gorgeous like kind of iridescent oh my god it's so pretty i'm obsessed with this stuff i

10:20could put it all over my body and i make me so happy um but i've been using this every

10:25day and

10:26then probably just like my holy grail i would never perform without this and if i like i actually i

10:31forgot this before and i've door dashed it to myself because it's that important it's the

10:36charlotte silbury airbrush flawless filter i've got so many words setting spray and what i do is

10:41i douse my face in this until i'm soaking wet and then i fan myself dry and this makes it

10:47so that

10:47my makeup stays on for literally ever literally forever um which is great when you're on stage

10:55because i sweat a lot but that is like the gist of like my things i've been using every day

11:00i've also been getting into like mac lipsticks um recently i've never been like a lipstick girly

11:05but uh you know they look nice i just talk too much so they come off really quick

11:11so that's a new new development yes so i did unfortunately um forget my accessory thing at home

11:17so we have we're working with what i have on i have on these fun little like silver star earrings

11:23that

11:23i wear every day because once again they're my only the only option um and then i have some rings

11:28i do

11:28love my rings this one is from ebay this one my mom got me it's a little clauda i'm not

11:33irish but i

11:34like it anyways this is also from calgary in canada this one i actually just got um when we were

11:41in

11:41lawrence kansas right around the corner from the venue and i think it's so pretty i think it's

11:44labrador right or moonstone this one is from new mexico also on tour from like one of the native

11:49american centers this one's ebay and then this one um my great uncle who is so old sorry great uncle

11:57but like so old um he owns and like a slot in an antique mall in denver and so on

12:02our first tour

12:03he gave me this and i literally have not taken it off since i do actually have i think my

12:08necklace

12:09is in here let's see oh it might not be oh yeah okay this is the one necklace that i

12:16have because i

12:18didn't leave it at home but i love it it's this it's very dirty it's this little sandy liang um

12:23star

12:24necklace that my mom actually got me for my birthday last year and i love it and it is the

12:30only option

12:32so um kind of what i go for on stage is just whatever i look best in whatever i think

12:38is

12:38the most flattering um oftentimes in my day-to-day life i usually rock like a big oversized band tee

12:44and a maxi skirt which is not the most flattering on stage um at least for me it looks great

12:49on other

12:50people so i try to use um usually something a little bit more tight on the top and bigger bottoms

12:55the small top big bottoms that's like my my formula um and i really like i mean honestly like i

13:02don't

13:02know if i have a specific like style or like inspiration i just am kind of drawn to certain

13:06things um like i said before like i really love like the big pants kind of like avant-garde like

13:11interesting shapes is something i'm also really into um but yeah some style icons like i love like

13:1890s glenn stefani i love courtney loves style and whole i don't wear a lot of like baby doll dresses

13:23anymore um but i used to wear a lot of like slip dresses and like lingerie when we performed

13:28um i love hilly williams style i've been really into like the pins lately i unfortunately lost all

13:33my pins on tour i had a bunch of really cool pins um and just like making things your own

13:38something

13:38i've also been trying to like um do is basically you know i don't have any budget for any of

13:44this i use

13:45my own money and i would love to have like custom outfits like at some point that's the dream

13:50so i kind of try and make it as custom as i can if that makes sense so like a

13:55lot of the tops i

13:55was showing before a lot of them i did kind of like diy or like change in some way to

13:59make them

13:59more unique to me um and that's another reason why i love thrifting and thrifting my clothing because

14:05you know most people aren't going to have what you have especially if it's from like 30 years ago

14:10and that's another thing i love is anything vintage i love the 90s i love 80s and 90s and y2k

14:15fashion

14:15um so anything that has like an old tag on it i'm gonna wear um and from different well differing

14:24from like day-to-day life versus my stage outfits um honestly nothing changes that much

14:29um i love my stage clothes so much that i can't help but wear them all the time because we

14:35don't

14:35necessarily perform that much um the only thing i don't wear on a day-to-day basis is the shoes

14:40just because this is wild um and i don't know just be painful i mean i'm wearing like big chunky

14:46boots right now they're very dirty so sick right also goodwill um uh but i don't wear these i also

14:53i don't really like do the sheer or midriff stuff in my day-to-day life i'm 23 but i

14:58would i would

14:58say i'm pretty modest for a 23 year old honestly like not even intentionally i just like like covering

15:04my body i guess thanks so much for watching um make sure to check out wilts on all platforms we

15:10just put out some new music this year and we're recording an album as soon as we get back from

15:13tours so be on the lookout
