- $1,500. - More.
- $2,000. - More.
- $2,500. - More.
- $3,000. - Just keep going.
- How can you even wear that?
- Oh, I'm very nervous. (laughs)
(upbeat music)
I am someone that does not wear designer items.
Most of my clothes are either thrifted
or they're from, like, Forever 21 or H&M.
Basically this entire outfit is that.
I don't know a ton about high-end designers
but I have been seeing more of them recently
because I've been making a series
about cheap versus expensive clothing
and that has made me a little more
interested in the designer world
and I thought, "What's it like to wear these clothes
"for more than just a day?
"How about wearing them over time?"
Like, will I feel differently in them?
Will it get me more confidence?
Is the quality really that much higher?
I'm pretty excited and a little nervous
to be wearing such high-end items.
I might spill stuff down them.
So how we're gonna do this is
I'm gonna bring in my friend and stylist, Taylor,
and she is gonna put together some amazing looks for me.
I am going to go to The RealReal, which is
an awesome consignment luxury store in Los Angeles.
I also have some awesome items from Poshare,
which is a website where you can buy
or rent the latest designer fashion.
This is gonna be an interesting challenge for me
because I don't know what people are gonna think of me.
Like, I'm gonna be more noticeable, I think,
walking around than I usually am.
I am tryna up my fashion game a little bit right now,
so I think this is kinda the perfect time to try this out.
I'm super interested to see if
I'm just gonna wear these items and be like,
"These are overpriced, I don't see the point,"
or if I'm gonna fall in love with everything,
which is gonna hurt my wallet.
I'm super excited because I'm personally not
putting these looks together, Taylor is,
and that's another aspect that
I don't usually have in my daily life,
so I'm basically about to find out
how a bougie (beep) lives for a week.
All right, I'm going off to The RealReal to meet Taylor
and she is gonna pick out some items for me.
Ooh hoo hoo.
(funky music)
Hello. - Hi.
- It's so good to see you again.
- You too. - Thank you
so much for bringing me here.
I have never been here before.
- Well, The RealReal is one of my favorite places.
It is a luxury, authenticated marketplace.
They have it online and not just in store.
- I'm also very excited about this place
because it's a sustainable option.
These are consigned items and it kinda just
gets me away from fast fashion for a little bit.
All right, I think it's time for you to pick me out
some outfits. - All right.
- [Both] Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
- Look at this Christian Dior. - Ooh,
that is fancy. - This is adorable.
- Ooh, it feels soft. - This is Alexander McQueen.
- (gasps) Ooh.
- We're in my favorite room right now--
- Ooh. - And I think you can see why.
There is Gucci, there's Chanel, there's jewelry,
there's handbags, there's everything
a girl could possibly want.
- It's very overwhelming. - It really is.
Oh, this is cute. - Oh, I like that.
- I would love this. - Ooh.
- This is very unique for Chanel.
I feel just this little peekaboo action.
Oh, I love this but that, I think,
will be super short on you.
This is so cute. - Oh, it's really soft.
I thought it was gonna be wooly.
- We're definitely pulling this for you to try on.
I think I need, like, a skirt of some sort.
Cute, ahh, cute. - (laughs) I like this one.
- Oh my god. - This is incredible.
I've never seen anything so cool.
- Well, you just grabbed an Alaia,
my dear. - (gasps) Ooh.
- So, I think I have everything I need from The RealReal,
so let's go ahead and head back to the studio
and I have some other pieces from some other places.
Let's get these looks together.
- (gasps) Yay!
And we're back - Yeah.
- Whatta we have? - We have
some great options for you.
I mean, I think, like, we have some great jacket options.
Like, this BCBG Max Azaria could look really great
over the Poshare things that we have here,
but let's grab your first RealReal look.
I think it is time to start day one.
- I think you're right. - All right.
- All right. - Off you go.
(upbeat music)
(whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(whooshing)
(upbeat music)
(cha-chinging)
(upbeat music)
- Oh my god, I can't believe I'm in all these items.
I am so outside of my comfort zone right now,
but I think I look good?
Let's find out.
Whoa, oh my god.
This coat is just out of control.
Like, look, it's just all like, wee, wee!
This is, honestly, the coolest thing.
I think I need to go show people.
Do you think it looks, like, expensive?
- Oh yeah. - It does look expensive.
- I knew something was up when you walked over.
That's why I was like, "Chloe!"
- You look like a supervillain.
- I like that. - Yeah.
- Is it the coat or just the whole look?
- It's the coat, and the coat does a lotta the work.
- This jacket is very, like, luxury.
- What's the movie, The Devil Wears Prada?
(upbeat music)
- Oh, good morning, Miranda.
(fabric rustling)
- Yes. - I didn't even see that.
Turn around. - Wow.
- The pleats, that's nice. - This my favorite part.
- And it feels
(dripping)
interesting.
I have no idea what is good quality.
- So, it's lunch time and I'm eating a quesadilla.
I am literally eating it so far away, like this,
so that I can't possibly get any of these clothes dirty.
The thing about these pieces is that
the quality of them is so good
that you'll be able to wear them for years.
- I love it all.
Can I do something that I would do?
- Yes. - I would--
- Oh yes, tuck it in. - Yeah, I would just
go like this. - Been styled again.
- If I would wear this, I'd be like, I'd wear, like,
a gray hoodie underneath and, like, downplay it.
- Makes me think of, like, Lisa Frank all grown up.
- So I've been wearing this for a few hours now.
It is nice to walk around in, it is less nice to
sit and do work in because the skirt is quite tight.
There's a reason why I wear very casual stuff
to work usually, it's because it's comfortable.
But this star does make me feel
a lot more elevated than I usually feel.
It's the end of the day and I am
pooped from wearing all those fancy things.
I'm just so not used to wearing
form-fitting things and the high heels,
but it was fun walking around just feeling expensive.
The coat is an Alaia and every time I said that word,
I just couldn't stop thinking about Clueless.
- You don't understand, this is an Alaia.
- An a-what-a? - That's, like,
the only reason I've heard of that designer.
I'm so useless at designers, so this
is really gonna educate me, this video.
A successful first day, on to the next.
So it's Saturday night and I'm about to get ready
to go out for some drinks with my boyfriend.
We are probably not gonna go anywhere super fancy,
but I am gonna be wearing something pretty fancy.
My boyfriend doesn't really know anything about designers
but he is pretty stylish in how he dresses,
so maybe he'll appreciate this?
It is a black jumpsuit, classic Herve
bodycon style, which is pretty exciting.
It is flared, which I'm not used to wearing.
I've got a really cool bag with it.
Taylor got me this awesome BCBG leather jacket,
which I think is gonna tone down the look a bit.
(upbeat music)
(cha-chinging)
(upbeat music)
So here's the jumpsuit on.
It fits pretty well.
I feel very '70s.
The fabric itself is heavy, so it just
feels expensive because of that.
I can't wear a bra but that's fine,
it looks good from the front.
I'm a little flat-chested from the side, to say the least.
I've got a couple of rings that Taylor gave me,
boop, and some little neon earrings.
Okay, so I am no fashion monger, but I will say
I think this jacket's too big for me
unless it's just supposed to be oversized.
The arms are rather large.
I just don't know if it goes super well with the jumpsuit
but, you know what, it definitely dresses it down.
Off we go.
Hello?
- Damn, looks good. - Really?
- Yeah. - Is this different from
what I usually wear? - Very much so.
- I just realized I need to pee
and it's gonna be so insanely hard to get this off.
That's going to take me an hour, goodbye.
(whooshing)
(upbeat music)
D'you think I fit in at this restaurant?
- For sure.
Unless you were, like, at a dive bar or something like that.
- It's not so, like, crazy high-end that it's, like,
only belongs on a runway, right?
- No, definitely not.
Especially with the jacket, it dresses it down.
I don't like the jacket very much but it dresses it down.
- Getting wine to, uh, go home with
and I feel kind of out of place.
No one else is dressed like this.
So last night, after the store, we just went home,
drank wine, and then I got into my pajamas, to be honest.
I didn't wanna wear the jumpsuit in a house,
but it was really cool to wear that designer
and to wear such a, like, figure-hugging jumpsuit.
But now, it is time for brunch
and today's outfit is a Stella McCartney jumpsuit.
It might be a little summery for right now since it's fall,
but it's LA and LA's always sunny.
(upbeat music)
(cha-chinging)
(upbeat music)
This looks a lot more comfortable
than the other outfits I've had so far.
Honestly, the hardest thing about this whole challenge
is just having to wear heels.
Like, gimme all the designer clothes in the world,
just don't make me wear heels, please.
So here's the finished look.
I really like this, this is super cute.
Especially with the heels, which I definitely can't walk in.
It's very flattering, it gives me a nice shape.
The little purse goes really well with it.
I love a brunch look and I think this is definitely, like,
an elevated version of what I would usually wear.
(whooshing)
So, we just got our food, looks lovely.
Whatta you think of my outfit? - I think it's very posh.
- I'm only wearing designer clothes for a week.
- Oh, do you feel rich? - I do,
I feel pretty expensive. - This is from Target.
It's really, really nice quality.
It hangs off you well and it's not gonna cling.
Don't spill on it.
You should wear a napkin. - Mm, how comfortable.
I just realized I have to do manual labor in this outfit.
She is giving me back a heater.
I took my shoes off. - Smart.
- Okay, let's get this in the car.
Just keeping it very far away from my body.
Luckily, this outfit is actually really comfortable.
- [Alisha] Chloe is on the LA streets with no shoes on.
- Yeah, I don't care. - Just so you guys know.
- Good morning.
Okay, so today, I am actually wearing jeans,
which is a little more what I usually wear.
I am wearing a Chanel jacket, which is gonna be nuts.
I've never worn anything like it in my life.
It's obviously so well thought out.
Like, the inner lining has a chain.
Not even the outside, you don't even see it.
And then I'm also wearing a Chanel shirt underneath.
I mean, this is, like, a more classic outfit
than the rest I've tried, I feel like.
(upbeat music)
(cha-chinging)
(upbeat music)
One thing I'm realizing about this challenge
is that to match my outfit, I'm having to
really think about my hair and makeup.
Sometimes I'll go to work with literally just mascara on.
Okay, here's the look.
It's a lot.
This jacket has, like, really big shoulders,
so I feel like I look like a giant square.
I feel like Spongebob, let's be honest, but I do love it.
Taylor gave me these heels and these help because
it's a bit of a stocky outfit otherwise, I think.
So, I ended up putting my hair in a low pony.
The shoulders with the hair on top were just a little much.
I look so fancy.
I've just made it more fancy by putting my hair up,
but I think it's that thing of, like,
you just have to lean into it.
Off to work.
Oh my dear god, I just stepped outside
for the first time today and it is boiling hot
and I'm wearing something rather thick.
What d'you think of my outfit today?
- I think you look very uncomfortable.
(laughing)
I don't know, maybe it's the shoulder pads
make you look like your-- - Yup.
- Elbows are like this. - Yup.
- You look like a boss today.
With the jeans, though, it's still, like, casual cool.
You look fancy but, like, it's kinda effortless.
- So this outfit is definitely getting a lotta looks.
I definitely have had some double takes happen.
The jeans are, like, so comfortable.
The denim on them is so soft, so I totally understand
why higher-end jeans are a thing.
- It's very pinkies up. - Definitely.
- These vibes are like Meredith
in The Parent Trap where, like--
- Yeah. - You're gonna come,
like, swoop some old rich man.
You look very nice, you just, there's something about
the luxuriousness of it all feels a little evil.
(ominous music)
- Ooh, this is what rich people
feel like. - Right?
- Ooh, this could be Gossip Girl redone.
Yeah, you get, like, a four year old
or something. - Yeah. (laughs)
How much do you think the jacket's worth?
- I dunno, like, $500? - $500?
It's Chanel. - I don't know.
(laughing)
- Okay, $1,000. - More.
- $1,500. - More.
- $2,000. - More.
- $2,500. - More.
- $3,000. - Just keep going.
(booming)
- $8,000? - It's like $8,300.
- What the (beep)? (laughs)
How can you even wear that? - Oh, I'm very nervous.
(laughing)
Today, I am wearing Fendi.
It's pretty, like, office appropriate
if you worked in a regular office.
I work in a very casual office, so dresses
and heels are not normal, so I'm gonna feel like
a high-powered lawyer today, I feel like.
I haven't decided what shoe I'm gonna wear yet.
Taylor gave me two options.
So, this is not as work appropriate as I thought.
There is a lot of chest going on.
It's actually a lot sexier than I thought
It's really cute.
I put these boots with it because
even though they're higher and more standout-ish,
they looked the best, so I was like, "Fine."
It's very figure-hugging, it fits very nicely.
I do feel like I should be living in New York in the fall.
I'm tired from just putting on
all this makeup and jewelry and clothing.
I'm so not used to doing this much with my look.
Okay, let's go.
- It's like work but, you know,
it's got a little, like, sexiness to it.
- Mmhm. - Which I always appreciate.
- So you just walked past me and you said nice things.
- I did, I was, I said that you look
very, very hot today because you do.
You were like. (snaps)
- Wow. - Oh, hi.
- What designers are they? - It's Fendi.
- I love Fendi. - Is all of it Fendi?
- Like, this is the outfit that
you need to go, like, ask for a raise in.
(beeping)
Girls are, like, hips forward and they
kinda go like this and it's, like, this movement.
A little bit hip forward.
(dance music)
Yeah, low, yes, yeah, yes.
Throw your back a little bit back more.
(record scratching)
Okay, not like that. (laughs)
(gavel banging)
- Offices have AC, so I'm wearing a nice little blanket.
Not very designer-y.
- I love it. - Yeah?
- When I saw you this morning, the first thing
I said was, "Okay, then."
- Hi, you look so good.
This is me checking you out, okay bye.
(laughing)
- So everyone has been super positive about this outfit.
I'm feeling pretty good in it.
I feel like I do look older than I usually do,
but in a good way that is, like, sophisticated.
So I got home from work and immediately just
threw on one of my comfortable hoodies.
I am done.
I for sure wouldn't pay the prices of these clothes,
to be honest, unless it was, like, one thing
that I desperately wanted that I would save up for,
but I do feel like I would go
a little higher than I've been going.
The idea of wearing more kinda like
sophisticated, fancy clothes is cool to me.
Designer items definitely have their place
and I will say if you wear them, you will get noticed,
but right now, I just wanna curl up
with my hoodie and my sweatpants, bye.
(upbeat music)
