Hi everyone! I’m Charli Howard and
I’m in London doing The Fashion Challenge for NET-A-PORTER.
Challenge number one.
“You’ve been asked out on a blind date to the park.
Pick an outfit that is picnic-ready.”
Well, that’s very exciting!
OK, so it’s a first date. You wanna make a good impression,
but I am very pale, so I have to make sure that I don’t burn
and die in the sun.
I think this is cute. It’s very feminine.
But, like I said, I’d probably burn to death.
So, I think this is a really cute option.
You’ve got the nice little frills at the bottom.
I think that’s really sweet.
In a park, having a picnic, you need to think about what shoes you’re gonna wear.
I don’t know, I don’t know if I want a bit of heel for it.
So, maybe like a nice wedge.
I think it is a nice feminine look.
And you look like, you know,
if you wanna end it as friends, that would also work.
Ta-da.
Look how cute this is!
There’s a little bit of skin, but also protected from the sun!
Because you know how important
staying out of the sun is, kids!
And, I always think when you turn up to a date, you don’t want a bag that is too big,
you know. You want something that is cute and small,
that you can fit your phone into, lipgloss, mirror, a bit of cash or whatever,
You don’t want to turn up with a massive bag, which just looks like you’ve just got
a ton of baggage
– doesn’t it?
So, I have my eye on this one.
It just looks like you’re just ready, you know.
Ready to take on the world and find love.
Now I just look like I will not deal with any of your problems;
do not mess with me.
And then you can take it off and be like,
“But look, I’m also so sweet.”
I love this.
And then…
*sprays perfume*
Ugh, love it!
Who wouldn’t want to date me in this, you know?
*laughs* That was a joke.
OK. Challenge number two.
“You’ve got a business meeting in the city.
What do you wear to make sure you keep cool
and professional in the summer sun?”
Let me go and take a look.
A nice denim skirt. Looks casual,
but it also can look professional.
And then, top wise,
the Prada.
That looks so ’90s, you know.
Love the sandal.
Nice and summery.
I think that will be a nice outfit. Let me have a look.
*nods* Hmm… Wish me luck!
Love the top. Love the skirt.
Shoes wise…
they’re just not right for this one.
The Prada ones? The nice Prada ones?
Bit more sophisticated with the denim.
I like a juxtaposition.
Is that how you say it?
I’m very, very superstitious, so I never wear a ring on this finger.
Even when I’m on shoots and stuff, I’m like,
“No, can’t do it. Cos I’ll never get married.”
You know, I like those, they’re cute.
And this is so cute!
It looks strong and bold.
A little bit of highlight and
taking my Victoria Beckham with me, in my nice pink bag.
So this is my business-meeting outfit.
Gets the job done!
Challenge number three.
“It’s a close friend’s birthday and you’re throwing them a surprise garden party.
What do you wear that’s glamorous and party-proof?”
When you throw a party, you wanna go all out.
The one that’s caught my eye is this Rotate dress.
I am obsessed with this designer.
And, like, you wanna look cute but you don’t wanna take
away the attention from
the person you are throwing the party for.
I feel like it needs a print, you know
– something that is a bit loud.
I love polka-dot prints.
And then, I’m thinking a nice crop top to go with it.
So, see you in a sec.
*Gasps* This one’s cute!
It looks like a skirt,
but actually… they’re shorts. I know you can’t really tell.
Shoe time.
Nothing too snazzy, because you don’t want to take away
from the person whose party it is.
So, I’m thinking,
some nice little wedges.
When I was a kid,
I think my grandmother got me my first ever shoes
that looked a bit like this, so they’re kind of nostalgic for me.
So, next thing’s jewelry.
I love – they’ve got little pearls in the middle.
Necklace.
Oh yes!
Do I look so posh?
I’m not gonna have a bag for this one.
But I am gonna do a gloss.
This is like a pin-up girl vibe,
so I’m gonna keep that old-school glamour thing going on.
Fourth and final challenge. Let’s see what it could be.
“You’re attending a family wedding
– choose a look that will take you comfortably and chicly from day to night.”
Family weddings… my favorite.
OK, you want something that your family won’t judge you on,
but where you’re also gonna look, you know,
more stylish than the rest of the people there.
The one look that I’m thinking of is this
– which is the one look I have wanted to try all day.
I think it will be really nice for a wedding.
So, because this is quite a busy print, I want a more simple shoe.
Keep it simple, and just go with the black ones.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
It is wedding-appropriate. It’s something your nan would love.
It’s something your mum would love.
And it’s a bit jazzy as well, without being too jazzy,
you know?
You can wear these on the grass,
you can wear these inside the church
– wherever you choose to get married these days.
Right, so,
I need a bag,
and I know exactly the one I want to choose.
The cute little one I’ve had my eye on!
This is perfect for a wedding.
Big enough to hold my patience in.
My lips on and I’m wedding-party ready.
There you go, guys!
That was my Fashion Challenge for NET-A-PORTER,
and I really hope you liked it.
