how many times have you seen an ad I've lost I've worked there hello
no why do I get suddenly so awkward is it weird that I'm doing that with my
hand
instagrams become really good at targeting us but how do you know the
product that they show you in the ad is gonna show up the same way when it comes
in real life I'm Rachel Torgerson and I'm the fashion
editor at Cosmopolitan. I'll order a bunch of stuff and test it out for you
so you know what you're getting when you actually buy it yourself
pull it up Instagram I actually follow a lot of brands on Instagram so it can be
kind of hard for me to find ads the mix is animals and fashion and then I give
obligatory likes to my friends. here's one for Reformation a lot of
girls wearing it in New York and LA and we've seen like Selena Gomez in it I'm
specifically in the market for a winter wedding so I'm looking for a dress with
sleeves and I'm gonna use this as an opportunity to buy one because that's
just what I'm gonna do this is the Hyperion dress is totally a dress I
would wear to a wedding like a silky pink animal print dress his shoulder has
a puff sleeve into that this model is killing it the dress is selling for 248
that seems a bit high to me but since I'm shopping for a wedding I'm willing
to pay a little bit of a higher price I'm gonna be okay with the 248 does that
cause most times I'm okay looks like it also comes in this dark green color
which is also nice but I feel like solids are a bit more bridesmaid-y. so
I've got it in my bag now look at that that's great I'm gonna try out a pair of
jeans and maybe a top so that we get the full spectrum of how good Reformation is
all around I want to test the fit of their jeans cuz they look super great
but I want to make sure that that's how they look when they actually come
they're high-waisted and I like that they've got this kind of light wash and
a little cuff with a raw hem super cute I would like them for myself and now I
want a shirt to complete my jeans look so this is the shirt standard black
shirt but it has a bit more style which I like so now I have three items in my
bag the dress the jeans and the top the total is $472.80.
that's a bit more than I would pay I'd say this brand is a bit expensive we'll
see when it comes if it's worth the extra money. I'm going to keep track of
how many days it takes and that's that on that it's been five days I just
received the package from Reformation I'm really excited to open it up and try
everything on so let's go okay so we're gonna open the package from Reformation
this is packaged really nicely there was no funny smell sometimes
that's a red flag that could mean it's coming from someplace that doesn't have
great airflow it could mean that they use a lot of plastics it could mean a
lot of things this does not have a smell we're good with that this is the black
shirt it's super cute it feels very you know natural high quality fabric it's
not gonna tear I don't see any weird threads
you know jutting out we've got this cute elastic detail on the top looks like it
hits right around the waist so you could either tuck it into a high-waisted thing
or leave it out and it would hit at a really nice spot and then in the back
it's got this smocking this kind of half zipper going on so we are on to the next
one which looks like that cute mini dress one thing I've noticed about
Reformation dresses is that they can be really short could make it kind of hard
to wear to a wedding this looks really cute it's very soft and silky it's got a
cute little kind of gathered detail on the side and this is like tulip hem
covered buttons on the sleeve that give it sort of formal feel got the other
straps so you can hang it on I kind of hate these straps they just
come out while you're dancing and it looks weird somebody needs to think of
another design that's just something for everyone to consider not Reformation
they didn't design that this is another thing I hate side zippers you're just
always worried you're gonna pinch yourself
that's just another personal preference I'm really excited to try this one on
last but not least we have the jeans they've got this great raw hem pretty
like lighter medium wash and of a great classic pocket I like a button fly I
find that it's stronger than a zipper fly they're gonna hit right below the
rib cage which is always a really great place for jeans to hit this denim
doesn't have it's got a little bit of a stretch but it really doesn't have a ton
of give I should check just to see if they have like return stuff in here they
don't give you the labels or anything that's probably an environmental thing
why they don't do that kind of is a waste of supplies they do say that you
can look up your order and create a return if you need to return hopefully
we won't have to return because these things are cute and I'd like to keep
them I'm gonna go try these on I'll see you when I have them on okay so I have
the jeans and the top on they both fit perfectly the size guide on the site was
like spot on the jeans feel great and I like kind of where the end of the cuff
hits on my ankle area they feel like I can really like move around in them and
like get some work done would definitely buy these jeans again had I not already
bought them so there you go as far as the shirt is concerned I also think the
shirt fits really well the fabric is a little stiff so it's a bit itchy that
could potentially get irritating later if you're not wearing a bra it's a
really cute design and you know executed really well these jeans and this top
definitely are a-okay with me they have my seal of approval thumbs up
on this outfit I gave you a lot of options so you can use one of those as
you can see I am now in dress obviously it needs a good steam I
think it's such a cute dress I love the color
I like this gathered detail that gives some interest to the skirt the silk is
so soft I think this is a great length it's not too short this opening is
actually a bit large and it gets a little bit on the side I would probably
see if I could get it tailored or I might you know like pin it somewhere
overall I would say I would definitely purchase this dress in real life I have
been pretty impressed with Reformation today it is one of the brands that you
guys really wanted to have us try you should definitely try them out if you've
