- This really sucks.
I'm legitimately nervous for this one.
Shoot.
(cash register dings)
Hey, everybody.
I'm Emily and I consider myself to be
a little bit of a thrift shopaholic.
But I'm pretty basic.
So that's why I wanted to challenge myself today
to try to recreate a classic Ariana Grande look,
with an over sized shirt, and some thigh highs,
and some cute accessories.
But I'm absolutely no Ariana Grande expert,
so I called on my friend, Ehis, for some advice.
I think the hardest part will probably be
finding the boots, things you can do,
the hoodie for pretty cheap,
you can spend a bit more on shoes.
I'm excited to see this look.
- [Emily] I hope I make you proud.
I'm really (beep) nervous.
- I hope you pull it off, don't be nervous, you know.
Like as Ari says, "Just keep breathin',
"and breathin', and breathin'."
- So for this challenge we have one store,
one hour, $20, to try to recreate this look,
and we're gonna go to Goodwill of Southern California,
to figure it the (beep) out.
The Goodwill of Southern California.
Not too sure about the thigh highs.
Not too sure about the green bag.
Definitely know that we can find this hoodie, hopefully.
Watch me say that and then we can't find it.
So without further ado, I'll shut the hell up,
and let's go shopping.
So first thing's first, let's go find a big black hoodie.
Where are the hoodies?
(upbeat music)
Really gotta look for these guys.
It seems to be pretty slim pickings.
Damn, this really sucks.
It's a zip up, but it's only a medium,
that's like, barely gonna cover my ass.
I'll hold onto it, but I need a bigger one.
That's not bad.
Maybe we can find a bigger one that's a different color,
and do that.
I need a big hoodie.
That's like, her thingy.
These don't have hoods, none of these have hoods!
Let's go over to the other side
and check some ladies stuff.
Maybe they'll have some bigger hoodies.
I'm legitimately nervous for this one.
Let's look through these sweatshirts.
That's cute.
Okay, feeling better.
Oh, (beep), I'm so flustered.
I thought Ariana Grande would be such an easier celebrity.
Guess what, friends?
Turns out, it's not like that.
There's no more hoods.
All right, maybe there are other colors.
What if I found, like a big T-shirt?
(bell dings)
I'm worried that these just aren't gonna be long enough.
I mean, this one might be.
I'll have to wear Spandex under these,
so my butt doesn't hang out,
but it's gonna be really short.
I can't say that we didn't find anything, because we did.
I mean, everything's gonna be hanging out.
All right, that's pretty much it for the hoods, huh?
(beep)
I guess it's time to move down to thigh town.
Now really the main thing we're looking for,
we have to find a bag, to kind of cinch the waist,
and then we have to find thigh high boots, ideally.
It actually looks like they have some thigh highs here.
I have never even dreamt of wearing a thigh high boot
in my life, but I'll do it for Ariana today.
These guys would be perfect.
Loop it through?
(record scratches) Shut your mouth, right now.
(triumphant music)
The (beep) fit.
This is a legendary moment in Emily Trio history,
because never have I ever in my life worn a thigh high,
and I just found one at random,
and it's my size.
Wow, these are something.
(upbeat music)
Can I tell you, these are really easy to walk in.
I've never had a better time.
I could do it.
(upbeat music)
Well, I have to get these.
Which means, all we have left to do
is find the bags, which are right here.
So if we can find like, a fanny pack situation,
that would truly be just, (blows kiss).
We got a Coach bag.
I think what I can do, is just find like, a smaller bag
with a longer strap, kind of put it around me,
like a belt, and then just tie it in the back,
so that it will cinch my waist and still be a hanging bag.
That might be a little too big,
but this one kind of looks about similar.
That's large, that's cute though.
Is that Marc Jacobs?
That's a nice laptop case, that's Marc Jacobs.
Marc Jacobs.
That's here, just so everyone knows.
This is huge, but we'll try it.
Listen, anything's worth a shot.
I feel like, this is like, vibe-y.
Listen, my hands are filling up.
I think we got enough.
So I'm gonna go try these on, see which hoodie works best.
We know the boots are fabulous.
And we'll pick out a bag.
Oh, but it's so short.
This one's not quite as long
as I would like it to be either,
but it does cover everything, I guess.
So this is definitely the longest so far,
but it's not a hoodie.
Still smells like the cologne
of whoever was wearing this last.
False alarm. (alarm wails)
Just realized, Ariana Grande's not wearing a hoodie
in the picture. (bell dings)
This might actually be the one,
but it smells like the person who wore it last,
and I can not get past it.
(upbeat music)
The shirts that we found worked out okay.
The fact of the matter is, they weren't big enough.
So we went instead, in what would make the most sense area,
in the dresses, we were able to find just a plain black,
long-sleeved one, so this obviously,
especially with thigh highs, gonna be a little long,
but it's easy, 'cause then you just
kinda trim off the length,
and we don't have to worry about it.
I wasn't able to find a green, green bag,
but I found kind of this puke colored bag.
So listen, I think we got Ari down.
(beep)
I'm not feeling too hot, not feeling too hot about it.
Not very confident.
We, on paper, have everything that we need,
but I just know that since this isn't a big sweatshirt,
that it's just inherently different.
All right.
This is big enough.
I worry that it's just too different of a garment.
Ariana, guess what, for such a simple outfit,
turns out, it's pretty freaking hard to find.
Let's walk over, actually to the men's area again,
and just look in like, the T-shirts.
V-neck.
This is a three X.
I think this might be it.
This feels better to me.
Well, I'm gonna go put this dress back then, I suppose.
It's super duper long, so we're gonna have to cut it,
but that's A-Okay with me.
We found these thigh highs
by the grace of somebody up there.
And then, we have this little bag,
that I'm just gonna use to tie around my waist.
- Find everything all right?
- Sure did.
- Okay!
(Emily and cashier laugh)
These are crazy.
- They're nuts, and they fit my foot.
- $18.97.
- $18.97, it just keeps getting cheaper.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you, have a great day.
- You as well, thanks again.
- All right, bye guys.
- So we're leaving Goodwill today
with the three big Ari essentials.
We got an oversized T-shirt,
we have thigh high boots,
and we have a waist cinching, belt, bag, combination.
So I think with this, we'll make Ehis proud,
we'll make Ariana proud.
I'm excited to see what it looks like when we put it all on.
This thrift haul was pretty (beep) great.
I have to tell you that I found...
I'm just gonna show you.
I got these (beep) at Goodwill.
That's like as tall as I am.
So pretty big shirt, so I'm gonna cut it,
to be a little bit shorter.
And then, in the picture she's wearing a green bag,
belt, thing around her waist.
I couldn't find anything exactly like that,
but I found this like, weird puke color bag.
And I'm just gonna put it here and tie it around,
and that's gonna have to work for her.
All right, fellas, well, maybe not fellas,
people watching, all right, everyone.
Here's our shirt, all we have to do is just make it shorter.
Although, if I cinch it maybe it'll be shorter.
Nope, we're gonna cut it.
So we'll just cut,
probably about an inch to an inch and half.
This is very, very thick T-shirt, turns out.
And my forearm hurts instantly, but that's okay,
that's show biz, baby.
We're still chopping away, it is giving me some issues.
(scissors cutting)
(Emily sighs)
Oh my God.
Okay.
Jesus Christ, okay, that's done.
So now, I'm just gonna go put this stuff on,
and we'll see what happens.
(theatrical music)
Oh my God, I don't even know what to think.
I have never, ever seen myself look like this,
before in my life.
(Ehis gasps)
Oh!
Oh, this is good.
- [Emily] Did I do it?
- Oh my God.
Wait, you don't have the high pony.
- Do you need me to put...
I'll give you a pony tail.
- I think I need the high pony.
- Oh my God, this is hella cute.
- Do you love it?
- The shoes are like, what make it.
How uncomfortable are those shoes?
- Ehis, they're actually so comfortable.
- Okay, I might buy them. - And look at me walk,
I can walk in them, ready?
- Ari would be proud.
- [Emily] Do you think so?
- This is an Ari look.
- [Emily] Do you think so?
- Yes.
I'm not gonna lie,
I didn't think you were gonna do this well.
- What?
You didn't believe in me?
- I believed in you, I didn't believe in the thrift store.
- Okay, fair.
- I have bad luck when I go to thrift stores.
Every time I go, I have my mind set on something,
I'm gonna be like, you know what,
this is what I'm gonna get,
and I just didn't think you were gonna find anything,
but you literally found like, an Ari look.
The only thing missing is the 40 inches of hair.
- Right.
Exactly.
- I don't think you can get that at Goodwill.
- You can't get it at Goodwill.
We did it.
- Oh my God, I feel like I'm next to Ariana Grande.
Wow.
Except you're a bit taller.
- I'm very tall in these.
