what other five day challenges you want to see me try.
Alright, let’s do this.
Okay, so last week I was scrolling through YouTube,
I was just perusing the comments section,
trying to see what you guys have been wanting to see from me,
and I came across a comment that suggested
that I let my fiance Michael pick out my clothes for an entire week.
I thought it was an amazing suggestion, I actually really liked the idea, and then I
noticed that hundreds of people had given this comment a thumbs up.
And that’s when I realized,
maybe this type of content it just what the Internet is looking for.
We’re rolling.
Excuse us!
Should I get off?
Yes.
What kind of video are you trying to make?
Hey, Michael!
Hey, Lucie.
What’s up?
Not too much.
For the past few days, I have sort of sent Michael off on his own
and he’s been hunting and gathering for clothing for me.
Should we take a look?
Let’s take a look.
All right.
Let’s start with Monday.
Monday, okay.
So I was scrolling through your Instagram for inspiration,
and I came across this old photo.
Very cute.
I used that as inspiration for the first outfit.
Okay.
So let’s take a look what we got.
We have this long sleeve shirt, slash sweater.
A nice mustard color.
Then we’re going with this little thing over it.
Oh!
What I originally found on Amazon was this long skirt, which reminded me kind of like…
Grease.
Grease, or like, something a genie would wear.
I don’t know.
Okay…
This I think is a little bit more of a feasible option.
Right?
They’re pants, right?
Yeah.
Okay, I’m gonna definitely go with these instead of this.
That’s what I thought you’d say.
Very neutral shoes to go with the colorful outfit.
I went through your stuff and got you a couple of, couple of hair ties.
Oh, so I’m going pigtails.
From the moment I put Monday’s outfit on, I felt like I was channeling childhood Lucie.
The outfit itself was actually very cute, and surprisingly it was pretty in style.
Michael did accidentally buy the wrong size top so it was a little bit big.
This actually looks a little large, what size did you get?
I think I went with an extra small.
It’s a large.
You got me a large?
It’s a large.
It was all good, I just pinned it to keep it in place.
Honestly, the outfit was very cute, but I have to say, I think it was the hairstyle
that truly just threw that look right over the edge.
I haven’t worn my hair like that in years, but there’s something about tying your hair
up in pigtails that just makes you act and feel like a kid.
I didn’t want to do anything except for bop around all day and play games.
And so I was playing shuffleboard, I was dancing,
twirling my gum on my finger, all things I did as a child.
For the entire day, I felt about twenty years younger, and truthfully, when I look at that
photo of me, and then I compare it to the way I actually looked on Monday, I’d say
it was pretty spot-on.
Time for Tuesday.
Okay, so before I grab the stuff, I’m pretty big into sports.
Yes.
And one of the big fashion trends in the past few years is athleisure.
So, because of that, I went with something that’s kind of in that realm.
Cool.
But also on the colorful side.
Okay.
Pink bag.
It matches the clothing.
A crop top type deal, with a hood.
Thought that was pretty cute for ya.
Very cute.
Matching pants.
Cute!
I think this is one of my favorite ones.
I loved Tuesday’s outfit.
He got this matching set on Amazon, which is honestly,
not typically where I shop for everyday clothes,
but now I’m thinking that I gotta peruse the site and shop for some cute stuff.
Splash of fun.
Nice, nice.
Oh yeah, my pink shoes.
Pink shoes.
Cool.
So far everything is pink.
Everything is pink.
Love it.
I don’t generally wear one single color from head to toe, like, from sunglasses to
shoes, and on Tuesday I was full pink, top to bottom.
It really was a statement outfit,
not to mention the cropped sweatshirt with the matching sweatpants,
the whole thing was a very modern-day athleisure street-style look.
I was pretty impressed with Michael, I thought the look was very cute,
but of course, he couldn’t just stop there.
You know the expression “quit while you’re ahead”?
He did not adhere.
Okay, what is in the blue bag?
This will come out eventually.
No.
For my favorite sport.
This is a statement piece for sure.
It is. It really is.
The baseball earrings.
They were some of the least functional pieces of jewelry I’ve ever seen in my whole life.
Wear them for a day and then maybe give them away.
I appreciate that you bought me jewelry.
Truthfully I think someone would only ever wear these earrings if they were going to
a baseball game and they were an extreme fanatic,
if it was Halloween, and they were going to a costume party dressed as a giant baseball,
or, and the only possible scenario for this or, would be
if their fiance picked out their outfit and they had no choice because it was
for a YouTube video and the whole world was counting on them.
But regardless of the earrings, this look was actually very cute.
Wednesday.
I actually went to a thrift store.
With this, I wanted to test myself a little bit and go into one of these stores and just
see what the most Lucie, best thing could be, that I could walk away with.
Okay, so you’re actually, this is like, not a joke.
What do you mean?
So like, compared to the stuff you already got me.
Why, has that other stuff been a joke?
First of all, I was so proud of Michael for the fact that he even thought to shop at a
thrift store for Wednesday’s outfit.
He knows that I’ve donated clothing a ton of times before, and I’m pretty sure he
knows that almost every time I go in there and drop something off,
I find something else that’s cute that I want to swap it for.
So, to start out.
Oooh!
This little cute top.
This is cute.
Yeah.
I’m gonna put this on right now.
It fits me like a glove.
So I thought that could go under this very stylish set of overalls.
Wow, lace overalls!
Lace overalls.
I knew I was gonna like this look from the moment he pulled everything out of the bag.
It was cute, it was casual, it was really something that I would pick out for myself.
Wow.
Yeah.
This is a good one.
It does look a little big, though, what size is this?
But just like Monday’s plaid crop top, these lace overalls were a little bit too big on
me so I had to pin them in the back.
However, we will give Michael a pass for this one because
he did buy it at a thrift store where there’s generally only one of each item,
and so whatever size is on the rack is the size you gotta take.
Nice little sandals, perfect.
Nice little touch.
And then because of the colors here…
Oh, a little headband.
Your little headband.
So the next time you need an outfit just have me go to a thrift store.
Yeah, are you free more often?
Everyone knows that Lucie loves pizza.
It’s no secret.
Did you get me a pizza onesie?
I did not get you a pizza onesie.
This could be an everyday shirt.
Like everyday.
These are the one thing in your wardrobe that I used.
Oh, my socks.
Perfect.
These are pizza leggings.
Oh, my gosh.
These are a little bit see-through.
Was that intentional?
No comment.
As if this outfit wasn’t good enough to begin with, in came the pizza pocket.
It’s a plastic pizza?
And…
It’s a plastic pizza pocket!
I have seen these all over the Internet and I was waiting
for someone to purchase one of these for me.
I personally believe that this outfit was Michael’s way of trying to get back at me
for talking about pizza all the time, but if that is what your intentions were, mister,
then you did not succeed.
Because I thought this was a very, very cute outfit.
I don’t know how you’re going to feel about this.
I think you’ll be very excited, I don’t know how people walking past you on the street
are going to feel about this.
Okay.
He bought this online so, it’s really going to require a good cleaning before my slice
goes inside.
All right.
Ready to eat!
And we’re out.
Time to get pizza!
I got myself a slice of pizza to bring down to the office for lunch.
Going in!
Best invention in the world.
It’s getting hot.
This is my snack for later.
I was a little bit hungry on the walk, so I stopped and took one bite.
I even ran into a Try Living With Lucie fan outside of the pizza restaurant.
Look, we met a fan on the street, while I had my pizza pocket!
And I had to just act normal while I had this pizza pocket slung around my neck!
More than any of the previous three looks, this look definitely drew the most attention
from passersby on the street.
Thanks! I’m all pizza’d out!
Pizza, anyone?
Wow.
Does anyone want pizza in plastic?
Nope, all right, it’s mine.
I do feel the need to give my honest review of the pizza pocket.
It’s a genius beyond genius invention, and it fits nice on the neck,
and it’s, you know, perfect size.
The Ziploc feature keeps the slice nice and warm, which is a great thing, but it also
locks in the moisture, which does make the slice a little bit soggy.
So I just wanted to be honest about that.
But overall, the pizza pocket was a major hit, and this whole outfit from head to toe
just had me feeling right in my element.
So, this next one, for your Friday look.
I went to a place I knew you like to shop at.
Zara.
Nice.
Whoa, a lot of fabric.
It just keeps
Some of the stuff might be a little big.
Just keeps coming out.
I’m not even sure Michael knew what articles of clothing he picked out for Friday’s outfit.
So this is a skirt of a kind.
Not really.
Pants-ish.
No, it’s a skirt.
But it has a slit.
Yes.
A slit skirt.
It’s kind of…
A slit skirt.
And it’s a very interesting pattern, I’m wondering what top you got me with this.
So, we got a matching top.
Oh!
We got a matching top.
Go big or go home.
Big in terms of size.
This doesn’t look like it will fit me.
This top was a little too big once again, and the problem was that the only way
to really hold it in place properly was by using binder clips.
So it was not that subtle.
To be honest, this is not an outfit that I would typically wear.
I would definitely wear the top with some other bottoms, maybe white jeans,
and I would certainly wear the skirt with another top, maybe a white top,
but once you pair them together, it is just a statement.
I feel like these will fit the disco theme.
Yeah.
But being in such a brightly colored outfit, and in such a loud pattern did make me
start to wonder what other fabrics and patterns I could rock.
And I found myself stopping on the streets to look at some interesting fabrics.
Living in New York City, I pass vendors like that on almost every single corner, and I
never feel tempted to stop, so I’m gonna go ahead and blame that on the outfit.
Michael did such a good job at this challenge.
Each outfit he picked for me was incredibly unique, and it’s actually pretty crazy how
your personality can start to change just based on the clothes you’re wearing.
I felt carefree and youthful in my childhood look, I felt playful and summery in the thrift
store look, I felt powerful and cool in my athleisure,
funny and lighthearted in my pizza outfit,
and totally creative and powerful in my matching set.
I’m not sure Michael even knew how impactful each of these outfit choices was gonna be,
but when all is said and done, he nailed it.
And who knows?
Maybe I’ll let him do it again some time soon.
I’m just so grateful every time you come on set with me,
and every time you jump into videos with me.
Yeah.
Because they love you.
