- We look like we're a couple.
- Yeah it does.
(upbeat music)
Hey y'all it's Shila and I am going to fly to Texas
where I'm gonna meet up with my sister.
We haven't had a chance to go on a road trip together.
This will be a good opportunity to bond.
- I haven't seen Shila in so long
and it's going to be nice to get reunited.
- [Shila] From El Paso, we're gonna drive
three hours to Marfa.
- [Shirin] So we can go to Camp Kona.
- And we're gonna style each other.
It's gonna be fun because I get to make her
my little Barbie doll.
(upbeat music)
I feel like I'm in Texas.
It's already hot and humid.
I can feel my hair frizzing up as I speak.
Usually I'm the last minute person.
I'm the late one.
This time around, I'm waiting on her.
Shirin and I's dynamic is that
she's more of the let's hurry up, I wanna get ready.
I like to kind of enjoy life a little bit.
(clock ticking)
(rock music)
Look who's here!
- Two canceled flights later. - Oh my god.
Woo, she made it.
I must say, I was here before you.
That's kind of a big deal.
- That wasn't by choice.
(laughing) (cat meows)
- I'm not affectionate. (cat meows)
- You're like my little kitten.
(rock music)
- Hey y'all, we're about to go to a boutique.
We have to find a full outfit for under 50 bucks.
- I'm a little worried for Shila.
(Shila laughs) - Girl, just be worried
of how hot you're gonna look.
(rock music)
- [Shila] Wardrobe Exchange was the first
place that we went to.
Shirin and I have pretty similar tastes,
but she tends to go for the basics
and I kinda want to open horizons.
I'm going for like a west Texas vibe.
I wanna put her in colorful patterns,
something that pops.
- My vision for Shila is to do a little Texas boho-chic,
so '80s retro vintage look.
This is interesting.
Dang these are some snazzy pants.
I don't know who I'm shopping for, myself or for Shila.
- I got more than what I needed,
but I just kind of kind of never
have gotten to style Shirin before,
so I'm going to town with it.
So this feels like Texas to me.
I wanna style an outfit based on these boots.
They're so cute.
- I really like this bandeau crop top.
I think it'll look great with some white shorts.
- These are definitely pieces I've never seen before on her.
- We have a lot of color.
I'm not comfortable with color.
This looks like something that my grandma
once wore back in the '80s.
This dress seems a little fun.
They're kind of cute.
I don't know if I could see myself around town in them, but.
- Yeah I look like a pumpkin.
- I feel like in the beginning
you weren't happy with a lot of the choices.
- [Shirin] She's mad.
- [Shirin] She was picking items that I was like
I'm never going to wear this.
It's a flat no.
(French horn music)
- What did you think of that outfit?
- I really liked the top.
The skirt is too long. (record scratch)
- We ditched the skirt, have a little belt tied in,
and I think it's not too bad.
- [Shila] It's actually the west Texas look
that I envisioned.
I feel like I went above and beyond
picking different outfits that she can experiment with
and all she has for me is three shirts
and then three jeans.
Some of the patterns are questionable.
My boobs will not look flattering in this top.
This shirt I like a lot.
I'm a little concerned about these stripes, but--
- Hey, what's up?
- First look. - Ooh.
Wait I didn't choose this outfit for you.
- What, I thought you did.
- No you didn't.
Did you just put this in the pile of clothing?
Shirin, okay that's cheating.
Sorry, you can't wear that.
But it looked cute.
See, color looks good on her.
(drum roll)
- [Shirin] Okay, that looks good.
- [Shirin] There was definitely a moment of panic
when everything I picked out was not working.
This is a skirt that's on What Not to Wear.
- I'm currently in emergency mode.
Shila didn't like any of the outfits that I chose for her.
We have a few minutes before we have to head out to Marfa.
I got so desperate I was in the men's section.
Then I found this Harley Davidson men's large shirt.
So she's gonna wear it as a dress.
And to accessorize, I got her this
very trendy belt that was only $6.99 and this was only $13.
So, looks like I'm on budget, but what's new?
And I'm sure Shila spent way more than me,
as usual. - Dang.
- Even though I was at already $45.45,
I feel like the look isn't fully complete.
So I was like, okay maybe there's
some sunglasses or something we can check.
- We're going to our second location, The Red Door Vintage.
Shila only has $5 to spend.
I luckily have $20, so let's see what we can find.
(bright music)
- The Red Door Vintage has been around
for six and a half years.
We support a lot of local artists.
We do a lot of the heat press.
We do on the spot alterations.
For some Marfa accessories,
I would do the sunglasses, the hats.
- There's so many cute things here
that I think I'm gonna have one of these shirts altered
and I'm definitely gonna get her these babies.
- [Shirin] I found these really cool aviators
with the blue tint that will match her biker dress.
And these vintage earrings.
- It was cool getting to talk to the owner.
- The girls like to come in oversized T-shirts,
so you can just do on the spot altered top.
- [Shila] We ended up getting these
El Paso shirts on our own.
It was a very unique experience
and I'm glad I could have experienced it with my sister.
We're finally on our way to Marfa.
We've done all the shopping.
- Check out our bags in the back.
- This is our first sister road trip.
And I think what better way to remember it than
having these altered El Paso shirts
made by a local artist.
That was the beginning of our road trip.
(rock music)
There was honestly no sight of any buildings
for over 50, 60 miles.
We got really hungry so we went
for snacks at the nearest gas station.
- I asked the cashier, "Where's the nearest restaurant?"
And he was like, "It's about 60 miles out."
I was like, okay, I'm gonna stock up on some water.
- Shirin definitely over-prepared with that gallon.
But that's Shirin, she's always super prepared.
And always very hungry.
I always have to make sure she gets fed or she gets cranky.
Shirin, are you eating?
You're always eating.
- We made it to Camp Kona.
There's so many cool things to explore here.
- [Shirin] My inner Texan came out
and I was able to whip that thing into shape.
- [Shila] Everyone is so friendly here.
We even met this 90-year-old man
who was dancing with us on the dance floor.
- [Shirin] Yeah, Marfa locals know how to get down.
They were just dancing how you would dance
if you were in your room by yourself, music blasting.
(upbeat dance music)
- The waiter was like, "You girls again?"
And we're like, "Yeah."
- I'm ashamed.
- It was the best time. (record scratches)
- On the real, I actually really enjoyed it.
- I wouldn't have done this with anyone else.
This was a trip that I wouldn't have made on my own,
and I'm glad that I got to experience it with you.
- Same, I also love how we're wearing
what you got me and what I got you.
- Yeah, I know.
Typical. - Typical.
- I think it was overall a 10 out of 10 weekend.
Are we near a public bathroom?
I need to empty out the tank I just drank.
No, okay, alright.
- I thrifted this dress in San Antonio.
I love everything about it except this gaping hole.
But this part covers it, so it's all good.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, Unsolved is on a new channel.
Now your part.

That was my part.
