- Wow, you are literally just
checking yourself out in this mirror.
(ding)
- What up?
I'm vain as hell.
(whoosh)
(squeaking)
- Hi.
- Hi everybody.
- Hi.
- So our friends Chantel, Devin, and Freddie
are actually shooting a huge video this week and next week,
so Jen and I were sitting around, being like,
"What should we shoot?"
And we talked about it on Twitter,
and someone sent us a suggestion
that we should try and style each other
for $50 or less.
- Which seems like a pretty big challenge,
because whenever we do styling videos,
we end up going over budget.
- When I first saw it, I was like,
"No we can't do that."
But then I thought,
"What if we did?"
- $50 for a new outfit
is, like, doable.
- 'Cause what does that mean?
Is that tops, bottoms,
jewelry, shoes,
and I've never styled you,
because I would never dare.
- It's easy to dress me,
you can go to Union Co and you'd be fine.
(ding)
You're little bit tougher, I know that.
I've never styled you either,
but I do clothes shopping with you a lot,
so I have a good idea of what you are into.
- But here's the thing, though.
I don't think you realize
that it's tough
with a budget.
I think styling me for $50 or less
is maybe impossible.
- They do jack up the prices for plus size clothes.
- But also, I think styling you for under $50,
very doable.
I think you have the hard task today.
- I am aware of that.
That's fine.
Basically what our plan for today is,
we're going to head over to a mall,
we're going to go to some stores,
we're gonna purchase the clothes,
and then we're just gonna come back
and wear 'em around for the rest of the day.
And I hope we come up with outfits
that fit and are comfortable
and stay within budget,
but, you know, if we don't,
then you'll see that.
We're here, we're at the mall,
we're about to split up and
start styling each other.
We've exchanged sizes,
we know each other's style,
and it's just disappointing,
'cause we don't get to hang out
now that we're here.
- I know, right.
I mean, it's like, I kinda don't know
what to do without your guidance.
- I've been through the store a couple of times,
trying to find things.
The problem is, a lot of what is in stock right now
is florals and Kristin has a lot of florals.
I'm trying to get her an outfit
that doesn't totally mimic something
that she already has.
- So I think for Jen,
I'm gonna find some shorts
and a shirt,
because if shorts are half pants,
maybe they'll be less money?
I don't know.
- If I'm looking for the right sizes,
yeah, I can find stuff,
but finding stuff that's cute,
that has the pizzazz that I know she likes,
has been a challenge.
- ♪ Look at these shorts, ♪
♪ they've got whales on 'em. ♪
Oooh, hey, that number's cool.
These shorts actually might be for children,
but, like, Jen's about child size, so whatever.
- I have a few dress options that I like,
but I am possibly gonna branch out
into shirts and shorts,
simply because I just want to do
something that's little different for her.
- Does Jen like music?
I don't know.
♪ Shopping for my friend, ♪
♪ It will not end. ♪
- ♪ All of these are accessories ♪
♪ That I can't afford. ♪
- Honestly, I feel like I should just
go to the boys' section.
That's generally where she would be anyway.
That might be where she is right now.
Actually, these little boys' clothes
are looking very similar to things Jen wears.
Boys' section means I can get way more for way less.
Why are you following me?
It's actually really easy to shop for you,
because everything in the little boys section
is like $10.
- Yeah, I mean.
- So my total came to not very much money,
'cause little boys' clothes,
so I'm gonna cheat
and go get Jen shoes.
Jen has adult feet,
so it will cost more.
- These are the clothes I picked out for Kristin.
I got a sundress,
I got a necklace,
and I got a white hat.
- I feel like I was shopping in the store
and I was like, "Yes, I'm definitely shopping
"for my son."
I mean, she actually owns clothes
that are purchased from the JC Penney boys' section,
so there is precedent for this.
I hope Jen likes this.
I mean, here's the thing.
It's a Jen cut, but a Chantel style.
So I'm not quite sure how she'll like it.
- The biggest surprise shopping was just that,
how expensive accessories were.
Especially if I was trying to get stuff
that was color-coordinated to the outfit.
That was probably one of the biggest challenges.
- Originally I was looking at the women's clothes,
and I realized that like,
"Hmmm, this isn't really her vibe."
And the point of this is not to torture Jen.
I think she would murder me
if I bought something that said "sunkissed" on it.
Maybe the point of it is to torture me.
- I feel good about what I picked out for Kristin,
but if it doesn't fit her or she doesn't like it,
I will be sad.
But that's okay.
- We're back from the store
♪ And it's time to try on clothes. ♪
♪ Are you ready? ♪
- Mmm-hmmm.
- Oh my gosh, I'm excited to give you this outfit
in the bag that I found here.
(clapping) Are you excited to try it on?
(clapping) - Yeah, gimme that gorlick.
- Okay, here you go.
I'm gonna stand here and wait.
- Thank you.
- Don't look in there yet.
- [Jen] Well, I like putting on summer clothes
because there's usually less of them
so it's faster.
- And they're little boys' clothes,
so, you know, it's for smaller people.
I hope they fit,
'cause if they don't...
- [Jen] Oh, they fit, they fit.
- Oh, thank God.
- [Jen] Oh, cute!
We'll see how they look.
- ♪ I'm excited for this moment. ♪
I feel like if we had more money,
I would do more,
but I didn't, so I did less.
- [Jen] That makes sense.
- I just got a glimpse of you.
- [Jen] I need my knife.
- We're lucky that we're in summer
because I feel like if this was winter,
everything costs more,
because it costs more to keep yourself
from not dying, due to the weather.
(crickets)
(different voice) Yes, I agree with you.
Thanks, Jen.
I love talking to you about my feelings.
- [Jen] What?
- Show me those legs,
- [Jen] I feel...
- legs, legs, legs.
- [Jen] ...very preppy.
I don't think that's a bad thing.
- This is probably a little bit more preppy
that I think you'd usually go.
But I just love colors,
I love prints,
I love things that say,
"Hi, pay attention to me!"
And that's generally not your vibe,
so why not?
- [Jen] I got more tags to cut?
Cool.
- How many tags are on there?
- [Jen] A lot.
- I didn't cut your tags.
I didn't have a knife.
Jen!
- [Jen] Yeah?
- Are you ready to be revealed?
- [Jen] Mmm-hmmm.
- Come on out!
(trumpet flourish)
(clapping)
- Oh cuuute!
- I do think it's really cute.
You do kind of look like a dad at the beach.
- [Jen] This is a fun summer look.
- [Kristin] This is such a cute summer look.
- Wow, Kristin!
I love this!
- Really?
- Yeah, I think this looks great.
- Really?
- I'm very happy to wear this the rest of the day.
- Really?
- So fun!
- I'm so glad 'cause I was like,
whales on your shorts, sharks on your top.
So your shoes were $17,
your shorts were $16,
and your shirt was $13.
- [Jen] Cool!
- [Kristin] I was like 35 cents over budget.
- Wow, that's amazing.
- I'm really impressed with myself.
Do you know what we're doing?
- You're making a video,
probably for the Ladylike channel.
- [Kristin] But do you know
what it's about?
- Um, I have a general idea,
it's a clothing swap.
(buzzer)
- I've never seen you wear something
in this color blue and I really like it.
- Thank you.
Yeah, I'm a big fan.
- When Chantel sees the sharks on the shirt,
she's gonna lose her mind.
- [Kristin] She gonna lose her mind.
(upbeat music)
- You guys picked a specific employee that's your favorite
and then you tried to match them?
(buzzer)
- [Kristin] No, but that actually would be
a good idea for a video.
Jen, I cannot frame this video for (beep).
- Or you're a dad on like, Hawaiian vacation.
- You're giving me, like, very
Palm Springs, dad on vacay, going golfing vibes.
- Thank you. I love that.
- [Kristin] Honestly, I'm glad we found you,
because when I was buying this shirt,
I thought of you.
- Did you think of me?
- [Kristin] Yeah.
Her outfit went 35 cents over.
- Wow, failures.
(laugh)
- [Kristin] Takes one to know one.
- Roasted.
Kristin, it's your turn.
Go change.
- Okay. It's time.
I don't know what's happening.
Okay. Okay.
- Get in there.
- [Kristin] Oh, there's accessories!
I hope this fits.
- I hope it fits too.
- [Kristin] Oooh, fun!
Little house on the prairie.
- I never read that book.
- [Kristin] Well, it's about a prairie.
And a house.
Oooh, wow, my boobs look really big in this.
The accessories is the funny part to me.
- Why?
- [Kristin] If you had an unlimited budget,
would you have found more stuff?
- Yeah, I had visions of grandeur,
that were not realized.
$50 is hard.
Come on! Get on out!
- Hi! (tooting)
- Go look at yourself.
- Wow! Wow, this is really cute.
- Right?
- This is actually really cute.
- You like it?
- Yes! I do.
Actually, I was getting ready to kind of roast you
for not knowing (beep) for dicks about this kinda stuff,
but, it turns out,
you know (beep) for dicks!
- I know what looks cute!
How does the dress fit?
- The dress fits well.
I don't have anything like this.
- Really?
- No. - Oh cool.
- Which is, I kinda think, your goal.
I like this hat,
it's very, like, Pretty Woman at the polo match.
I love horses.
- You're gonna seduce Prince Harry.
- If I could go back in time.
Did you buy me a time machine?
- No.
- Well, I won't be doing that.
- It's over $50.
- I like this little necklace too.
- Thank you.
The dress was basically around $25,
this was around like $15,
and I think this was $9.
I ended up going a little over budget
because (beep) is pricey.
- Also, we look like we're going to the same event.
- We're going to a beach party.
- It's true.
What do you think of this outfit
that Jen came up with for me?
- I'm obsessed with the hat.
I don't see you in hats nearly enough.
The last time I really remember seeing you in a hat
was all of Montana.
- That's because you never take me to the beach, Mike.
- I'm sorry, you could ask someone else to do that.
- I feel like you're very "older sister on vacation".
You're still hip and casual,
but you're not overdoing it.
- Is that a compliment?
- [Jen] Can you tell they were both purchased
for about $50?
- I don't think you can, actually.
- Really? Does the hat say money? (cha-ching)
- It does.
- I'm a woman who doesn't care
about wearing a hat indoors.
- I think my only criticism.
- Oh Jen, there's a criticism coming.
- There is a slight criticism.
- What could you possibly have to criticize?
- One criticism is...
- You're holding...
- [Jen] What's the problem?
(beep)
- My one criticism is that the neckline
of the dress is very high,
so it cuts off the necklace, kind of.
- Right, yeah, that is a problem.
Kristin, fix that.
- It's as high as it will go.
- Can you grow your neck a few inches?
- No.
Do we know each other well enough
to do this experiment?
- I think so.
This looks like, you would wear it.
- Does that look like what Jen would wear?
- I think the shirt is,
I don't know about the shorts.
- Jen likes the shorts.
- [Jen] I do like the shorts.
- This reminds of
when I was really into dressing Ken up,
and this is for sure what I would have dressed Ken in.
- This is the gayest thing
you've ever said to me.
- We did it!
- Good day!
- Kristin and I pretty much
only got positive reactions.
- Oh, Jen, there's a criticism coming.
- There's a slight criticism.
- I'm actually shocked this worked out.
I thought this was gonna be kind of a mess.
- I think you definitely had low expectations.
- My expectations were in the floor.
- Yeah.
- I didn't think that we were gonna
come out of this with good outfits at all.
I thought that we were both gonna look silly.
- What I would say is that,
definitely, these are brighter colors
and a little bit preppier than I normally would wear,
but it was not so out of my comfort zone
that I didn't get used to it immediately.
I will probably wear it again.
- Yes!
- What say you?
- I will wear this again.
I understand the criticism
about the necklace.
- Sure, yeah.
- 'Cause there's a lot happening in my neckline.
I think I'd probably wear something a little bit more.
- Dangly?
Yeah, I was looking at dangly ones,
but they were expensive.
- This hat, though, is nice.
'Cause actually I had a white straw hat,
but I poured a Coke on it,
so now I have another one.
- It actually worked out for the best.
- This video is basically just a scam.
- Yeah, we both got new outfits,
you got entertainment out of it.
- Everyone wins! - Everyone wins!
In conclusion,
I guess you can style your friends for $50, almost.
- We should try to style each other for much more than that.
- Let's up that ante, girl.
- All right, are we done with this video now?
- Yeah, let's go home.
(laughing) Cut!
- Thank you, I appreciate your
constructive criticism.
You are the most vain person I've ever met.
- I'm the most vain person in the world.
(rhythmic music)
