- Sleepwear, it's designed to be sexy and comfy,
so why waste all that fun on sleep?
We shouldn't.
It's Ladylike, and I'm gonna turn nightgowns into daywear.
A few things about nightgowns:
we've reached the part of the year,
about September, October,
where the clothes that we are being sold in stores
do not match the weather.
In the store, it's like, wear this sweater,
and outside it's like, would you like to sweat?
I have come up with a solution for this.
I am going to buy nightgowns, chemises, teddies,
whatever they're called, I don't know,
little flimsy things you wear at night.
But I feel like this might be a way
to get a spaghetti strap dress in the middle of September
when everyone thinks I'm gonna be wearing tights.
Another thing that motivated me to do this
is when we did the video in March
where we went to New Orleans
and we went to a vintage clothing shop.
The one thing that fit me really well that was beautiful
was a 1960s nightgown.
There's so much glamour and so much comfort
and so much sexiness that we're wasting with the nighttime.
Why not bring that into the daytime?
Day gown.
When we were in college, we were like,
let's wear pajamas all the time.
And then all of a sudden everybody gets a college degree
and decides that's no longer acceptable.
Well, guess what?
I'm gonna be wearing lingerie in the office.
Today, I'm gonna go to the store
and then I'm gonna get two cool looks
that are based on nighttime sleepwear.
I'm also gonna see whether or not people can guess
if I am wearing a nightgown.
They probably won't.
Gonna go get some nightgowns.
Gonna go down to nightgown town.
(jazz scatting)
I'm not actually getting anywhere in these shots.
I'm just walking back and forth in the office parking lot.
I just went to a store that I haven't been to in a while,
and it turns out it doesn't exist anymore.
I thought this was a cute clutch.
It's a bra.
For some reason, this nightgown thinks my boobs
should be even wider set than they are,
like one boob should be here
and one boob should be off the coast of Florida.
I look like a journalist going back to a 90s high school
to finally get kissed.
So, this feels like a bathrobe,
but if you tie it around the back, maybe it's a duster.
Anything that's too small for me
automatically becomes a vest, it's a rule.
I don't understand why it's so hard
to find plus sized sleepwear and clothes.
You don't want us to be nude,
you don't want us to wear clothes.
What do you want me to do with my body?
I went to store one, but I only got some stuff.
I'm also trying to find things
that I could convince people reasonably are outfits
'cause part of the fun of this video is tricking people.
To the next store!
♪ We're gonna go to more stores 'til we find what we want ♪
♪ And then we're gonna stop ♪
♪ Or maybe not, who knows ♪
The top print says business professional,
but the bottom says you can see my butt.
You're not fooling anyone, nightgown.
We know you are a dress.
This is a dress.
Lighting in here is dope, though.
You can tell it's a nightgown
'cause it's got that puffy paint texture,
although usually this puffy paint texture
says something more like mornings are crazy
or but first, coffee.
I don't know what it is about people who think
that everyone wants to sleep in dried paint.
The sexy court is in session.
Okay, so far I've been to a few stores
and it seems like all the sleepwear sort of alternates
between very sexy
and some sort of complaint about not having slept.
The long shirt shift, it's like, coffee, please
or I don't like anyone.
Also, sorry, accounting.
I think I bought too many things.
I'll return the ones I don't use.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
So, we've (mumbles) prime nightgown territory.
Gonna churn some butter.
Yes, look at this beauty.
It kinda defeats the purpose of wearing it in summertime
'cause obviously it's very cozy.
I'm not a snack, I'm the whole picnic.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie.
From here up, it's actually kinda cute,
and then it sort of loses the thread
the further away we get.
I don't hate it.
I mean, it's also a little bit more sheer.
Okay, this is a nightgown,
but I could legit turn this into an outfit.
It is very sheer, though.
I mean, I get it, you're...
No one's supposed to see you except special people.
I could do something with this.
And it's on clearance?
Yes!
I think with the right accessories,
this is gonna shine like a little $10 star.
So, I'm leaving my last store
and I'm actually feeling super inspired.
I think we're gonna do this for real cheap.
We're just gonna find accessories I own
and make cute summer looks in the middle of September.
So, here is my outfit for day one.
I thought I'd do a monochrome
and a little pop of color on my toesies.
I've been wearing pajamas for four hours
and no one has noticed.
Normal day.
- Oh.
Oh, hello.
Is this lingerie?
- [Kristin] Well, yeah.
I mean, I like how when I approach someone with a camera,
they just kind of assume
that they need to comment on my outfit.
- What else would I be commenting on?
(laughing)
Honestly, it works.
I mean, it's a little odd today
because it's overcast and cold in LA.
- [Kristin] You knew this was lingerie.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- [Kristin] Mike Roe is suddenly an expert
on women's lingerie.
- I mean, I work on Ladylike.
It's a choice, like it's definitely a statement.
I don't know, I think it's really cute.
- You look so cute.
- Thank you. - I love it.
- It looks like a robe. - It is a robe.
- Is it? - It is a robe.
- Yeah, it's cute.
- This is all lingerie. - Okay.
- This is like the scene from 13 Going On 30
where she runs out onto the New York City street
wearing a negligee and looks perfect.
- [Kristin] Wait, so am I 13 or 30?
- You are both. (laughing)
I know that this is a nightgown.
- [Kristin] Oh, so you could tell right away
it was a nightgown. - Yes, just...
No, you know what?
The robe was the one that gave it off.
I like the robe tied a little
'cause it accentuates your waist.
- [Kristin] That's what I thought, too.
- But it does show that it is a robe,
so it's like, how much do you care?
I love it.
It looks like you were reclining
after your husband has passed away.
(laughing)
- [Kristin] Can we talk about my outfit?
- It's nice.
It's a nice outfit.
I like it.
- Okay, I'm actually wearing nighties and nightgowns
as clothes this week.
- Oh, that makes sense.
That is what you are wearing, yeah.
I don't think you can tell they're pajamas necessarily.
I think it just looks like a fun little cardigan.
- If you hadn't clued me in that this was for a video,
I actually wouldn't have guessed it.
- See, and that is what I wanted to accomplish.
- I love the lace. - Thank you.
- I was definitely checkin' out the lace earlier.
- Mhm, I like it a lot, actually.
One outfit down.
Would I wear this outfit again?
Probably.
It's sort of weirdly polished
in sort of an Italian funeral kind of way.
Let's see if I can get away with it tomorrow.
Maybe, maybe.
I need to talk to you about my outfit.
I have boots. - 'Cause it's so feminine
and so oh, I'm a napkin.
You know what I mean?
It's so tiny and...
- The compliments just keep on comin'.
- You need to jazz it up with some leather
or something that adds structure.
- Oh my God, you're right. - Like a belt.
- This is definitely a moto jacket.
I should've worn a moto jacket with this and boots
because I was just standing around being like...
- [Devin] You looked lost.
- I know, I looked like a girl who'd just been
shuttled out of her apartment building
because there was a fire drill at 3:00 in the morning.
And then her hot neighbor's like, hi,
and you're like, don't see me like this.
And then you're like, I'll never find a man.
Okay, I've finally figured out how to style this nightgown
according to Devin's hot tip.
I'm gonna go see what people think.
♪ Jen, Jen, it's Jen ♪
- It's Jen. - It's Jen.
Jen, do you like my outfit?
- Yeah. - I feel like I ask you this
question about every outfit. - It's nice.
- This is a nightgown I found on clearance for 10 dollaros.
- Oh, wow, amazing.
- Mhm.
Yeah, I mean, can you tell this is a nightgown?
- No.
- I mean, it requires you to look at my body.
- It honestly just looks like a dress.
There is a little bit of a food stain on there.
(record scratching)
Is that makeup?
- It's 'cause I got makeup on it.
- I have, like...
Here's the thing.
Kristin knows better than to wear white.
I know better than to wear white.
I don't wear white anymore.
You still wear white 'cause you're brave.
I get food and makeup and (bleep) all over my white stuff.
- I know, well, I got makeup on it.
- She got makeup on it.
Yeah, it looks good, though.
It doesn't look like...
This is really close.
- Sorry. (laughing)
- I just look, I look terrible right now.
- I found Devin.
We're gonna go see what Devin thinks of this outfit.
What do you think? - Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes. - What do you think?
- Yes, yes, yes.
It's less little Laura Ingalls Wilder,
it's more like Laura went to college in the city
and now she got her first job.
- [Kristin] Are you proud
that your inspiration brought us here?
- I'm so proud.
The moto jacket, the boots, yes.
It's a little butch and it's a little Barbie.
I'm into it. (laughing)
- So, I feel like I wanted to test this theory
that if you're in the hot months of September and October
and there are no summer clothes to be purchased,
you can still find some if you go to the nighty section.
The white nightgown outfit, I think,
more heavily relied on accessories
mostly because it was just kind of a plain white nightgown.
But sometimes all you need
for a good outfit is a plain canvas.
I, for one, don't really go to many department stores.
This is a place I wouldn't be looking for clothes,
and I'm telling you, you should go look there.
There be treats in them their racks.
Also, there be laughs 'cause I had to try on
a lot of silly nightgowns.
Overall, I think both outfits were a success.
Most offices probably won't let you wear lingerie to work,
but you can wear them to cool parties or on dates
or fun nightlife events or hip restaurants
or avant garde circuses or whatever else it is
you kids are doing.
Wearing nightgowns as daywear.
Lady tested, lady can wear whatever she wants.
So, be nice.
(laughing)
