[UPBEAT INTRO MUSIC PLAYS]
S: Hello friends, and welcome to another video.
I'm here with Jessie Paege, who is a Youtuber
and resident expert of dyed hair. Thank you for being here today, Jessie.
J: Thank you for the compliment. (laughs) I'll take it.
S: And Jessie has thankfully agreed to join me in what I'm calling
the 'MAD DASH CLOTHING PASS.'
J: Beautiful name. S: We're working on it.
S: It's a working title. J: I really like it!
S: So, previously I've done a couple videos shopping while blind-folded
in which I wanted to test how using other senses like fate and deductive reasoning
would suit me while shopping.
But today, is all about instincts.
When you are presented with very little time to make a decision,
where does your gut lead you?
So we are gonna be putting our fashion instincts to the test
and buying a five item outfit in three minutes.
So I thought it would be really fun for Jessie and I to do this together,
because we have pretty different styles, and probably pretty different fashion instincts.
J: As you're wearing all black and I'm literally wearing rainbow.
(both laugh)
J: I like color.
S: Ah and that's where we diverge.
J: (laughs) Yeah!
S: Alright, so here are the rules:
Five items roughly shakes down to 36 seconds per item.
But to keep everything simple, we're not gonna include like travel time
in between the stores, or time in line.
The clock will only be going when we're actually shopping and choosing.
Additional rules include: no sprinting.
I feel like we may start a panic if we just start running.
But like power walking is totally fair.
And also, we're gonna be going to a different store for each item.
So five stores altogether.
One more thing.
Jessie told me that she's going on a date later today,
turns out I'm also going on a date later today.
Right, Tyler?
So I thought it would be a fun framing for our challenge to try and find a date outfit
that you don't have to wear on your date tonight, but you could.
J: I kinda want to, that's a story, that's a conversation. S: There you go, exactly.
J: Challenge accepted. S: Alright, a date night outfit
in 3 minutes or less, let's do it.
J: There goes my chances at a relationship.
(Safiya laughs)
S: Alright, so we are at the mall now. Magic, we're here.
S: So where are you guys going on your date?
J: So, we are going to a friend's birthday party.
J: Not the first date. S: Not the first date?
Okay, good so it's not just like first impression this is it.
S: So what's the venue sort of thing? J: It's formal. She has a carpet for her party.
S: Oh! So this is like dressed up. Where are we going, Ty, for our date?
Tyler: Us? S: Yeah.
S: 'Cause I need to decide my vibe.
S: Okay, so we are going to a nice restaurant then.
Tyler: Nice restaurant, yes.
Okay so I'm --- I'm gonna try and do something more romantic then usually do.
I'm gonna say romantic. So we're gonna, I think, go:
top, bottom, jacket, shoe, and an accessory of some kind.
Kind of like a ladies choice at the end there. Whatever you want.
The first store we're gonna go to is Forever 21. It feels like a good place to start.
There's a lot of options.
All right, let's go!
Do you have 36 seconds on the clock?
So when we first like ran into Forever 21,
I kind of like forgot what we were doing for a second.
Literally, like my mind went blank. I was like, "Hello" (dazed)
And then all I could see around me were just like jackets and sweaters.
And so, I like, panicked
and like ran further back into the store being like, "Where are any of the normal shirts?!"
J: I also experienced the same thing
with the jackets, and the sweaters, and I'm like, "Aw shoot
no its like it's a party so I need
something a bit more dressed up." and I saw sparkles and I ran.
S: I was also thinking at the same time like I didn't want to pick
something black because I always go for all black everything
so I guess I was working against my fashion instincts there.
But I was like, "No. I need to find something else" J: I thought it was funny when, um,
there was one point where we both crossed paths
and you gave me this look of, like, we got this!
S: I didn't even know that I did that. J: You did! It was really cute.
J: I found one top I liked, it was silver. But I just
latched onto it like it was a stuffed animal was was like," It's mine!"
and then I kept looking for something else
This is a dress, not a top.
S: Really?! I ended up next to a rack of shirts
And just picked up a blue shirt
I guess I'm going with blue! No!
And then suddenly, time was over.
J: This works! I actually like it!
It reminds me of something I would wear for ice skating when I was younger
I'm not disappointed.
S: It was weird. It both felt like zero time at all and also like a lot of time, like I was like floating through space
J: I'm proud of you went with colours
S: This kind of matches your hair J: I was gonna say that I'm always down for some blue
S: And this kind of matches my single grey hair it's kind of in there
J: Noo! Girl! [laughing]
S: Okay so tops from Forever 21. Check!
S: Alright so for the bottoms we're gonna go to Urban J: Yes
S: Finding a size in 36 seconds, we'll see how that goes
J: Round 2: The pants
S: So when we first walked into Urban Outfitters, I saw to my right immediately a bunch of pants that were like
loose wide leg pants that seemed to have different patterns and colors
and I was like, "Ooh, that could be interesting."
So I basically bee lined straight for the display on the right.
Oh yeah! These are awesome! This is an early choice for me
and like walked around a couple of times, saw all the pants that were there
Ooooh this could be cool too!
J: So, in my mind, is like okay
I want a blue skirt
So I got in there with that um -- with that plan and then,
There were no blue skirts, except for jean skirts
which I felt like, "Would it be dressy enough?"
I quickly grabbed onto three different skirts
One of them was magenta, the other one was like an orange-brown?
And, I think the last one was a dark brown.
S: Which one's more high-waisted?!
Tyler: One and..... (timer rings)
- Alright, time to make a decision. J: Um..
J: I decided to go for the orange color which is like --
I would never have gone for that, typically.
Because I realized the other skirts weren't high-waisted
and I was wearing a crop top.
S: These ones are more high-waisted, I'm going with the stripes
So, I picked up these black strippy pajama pants. (Jessie laughs)
It's almost like a maxi dress but surprise, they're pants!
I did end up picking something black (Jessie laughs)
S: But it did have stripes, it has stripes. Okay? J: It's okay, you have color on the top
S: And I felt also my instincts were like,
"Alright, we have one thing that is colorful, the rest of it can be black. Who cares?"
I thought your skirt was really cute but, it definitely, was it what you had described looking for?
J: It was interesting.
It definitely made the rest of the outfit a bit of a challenge because you have warm and cool tones
and like this sparkly, new year's looking top.
And this skirt, reminded me of lot of like autumn
but it was exciting.
S: Alright, so, we're going to go for the jacket, to Zara
so Jessie has a shot to dress this thing up
S: Item number three,
the jacket!
Let's go!
So when we walked into Zara, I --
once again kind of forgot what we were doing.
With Zara, it was like, many mannequins and I was like, "OOOOH SHINY."
So I literally kind of forgot and I was just THAT'S CUTE--- Wait, no, I need a jacket. Damn it!
So, I sort of veered of to the left
just to sort of, to like look on the wall
because at Zara, there was also a lot of stuff on the wall J: Yes
J: So, I saw black leather jackets at the back and I was like, oh that's cool!
I was about to go run to those
and then, on the way in, I saw this um --
kind of, like -- like a fitted long blazer?
I just grabbed it on the way, just in case I didn't make it to the leather jackets in time
And, I did make it to the leather jackets and then right at the end,
I was like, "You know what? I grabbed this first. There must be a reason for that."
S: Oh, what's this?
S: I guess I'm going with this. I don't even know what this is.
So I grabbed randomly
This- large cardigan looking thing with like faux fur
(laughs) This is the only thing I could find.
Oh, too late
(timer rings) Time's up.
The thing is, the jacket's not like, bad
like it's not- like, Oh it's a horrible jacket!
I just- I would never have thought of it for my outfit at all.
J: It kind of looks like a fuzzy blanket, though.
S: It looks like a, socially acceptable snuggie
J: YESSS
J: So I have these two
and the thing is, this is really cool but I also own a black leather jacket already.
I'm going to go with my first choice
This is the first thing I picked up. So, I'm going to assume that happened for a reason and I'm going to go with this.
The browns matched, to like the skirt matched with the jacket
I felt like the jacket was really going to be the thing that would like save the outfit
and make the two, very different pieces work together.
S: I think it's a cool blazer, to be honest.
J: I thought it was super cool.
S: Yeah, okay. So those were our jackets from Zara
S: So, shoes are next J: Yeah.
S: So we're going to head to H&M.
J: What size shoes are you?
S: A nine and a half and ten.
J: Same. So we're both going to be in the same section.
S: Alright so, the shoes are pretty far back in the store. So, we came back here
So, we-- you know, don't run anyone over trying to get in. J: Yeah.
S: But they're right behind us so, we're going to turn around, start the clock and pick a pair.
Tyler: 36 seconds and start! S: OH
So when we started the thirty seconds, I just immediately started looking for sizes that would work.
From what I could see, there were some plain black boots or booties that would have probably worked
But I didn't just want a plain, black boot,
I wanted something a little more interesting.
And I saw a corner, that was shining silver
And I went for it.
J: When I started looking for shoes, I also paid a lot of attention to size right away.
There were really cool black boots that um-- had like a 3-inch heel
They were booties, like that type of look.
However, I could not find them in my size.
(mumbling) 8.5, 8.5
And then, at the bottom, I found black knee-high boots
Yeah, those are kind of cute
S: (panicking) 10 seconds?!
I started looking through these silver shoes and none of them were mine, or our size at all.
They don't have my size in anything!
And then underneath the silver shoes,
Was a silver and black speckled pair of booties with a low chunky heel.
And there was only one of them and I was like, "Oh, this isn't going to be my size."
WOAH, it's a nine and a half.
Tyler: Are you serious? S: Yeah!
(excited)
So, I was like," Well, it doesn't even matter if I didn't like this 'cause I have to have these because these were the only ones in my hands."
J: I think I'm going to-- go with these
They're knee-high boots that are in my size for once!
I actually was, really happy with the shoes.
S: I think for the shoes, it was a lot more of what was there,
and what we could find, rather than instinct. J: Yeah.
S: But, I'm pretty happy with the silver shoes.
Like I was happy to get something that wasn't just a plain black booties and I was just like, "Alright, we're going with these."
S: We're getting accessories next. J: Yes!
S: So we're going to Topshop! J: The fun part.
S: And so for our last item, we went for a freestyle accessory.
Anything that we wanted, basically.
J: So, earlier in the day, we were talking about how kept seeing these train conductor hats.
S: Yeah, absolutely, it's like a-- sort of a mid-2000s Lizzie McGuire hat.
J: Yes!
So I found two hats. It was kind of a black beret
and I found the train conductor hat.
S: In my head, I was immediately was like,
"Okay. So my outfit is like black, blue, green, and silver."
So I need something thats got some blue, hopefully some silver. That would be awesome.
And as soon as I walked in, I saw a little bag that had like, green leaves on it, like embroidered.
And I was like, "That's interesting."
And I picked that up and I sort of turned around, doing a scan of the store
And I saw on a little table with a lot of other bags,
A small bag that had like dragonfly shaped rhinestones on it, basically.
Alright, so I was looking for something green to tie them all and all of it together
They both have green in them, but I think this green is closer to my shirt, right?
- 10 seconds
The black beret was cool but I've never worn one of the different styles of hats.
We literally, actually had a conversation of these kind of hats while we were in between stores
And how they're really trendy right now so, I'm going to get this hat.
I think it will match with shoes and it will really fit the whole outfit together
Tyler: Five, (chuckles) four...
S: The only one I had extra time for. This is what we're going with.
J: So what did you do with the extra time left over? 'Cause I've never experienced that.
S: I just looked at them . J: Something's beautiful about that. S: Exactly.
J: Yeah. S: I said yes -- to the bags.
So with our accessories, that completes our 3-minutes outfits
Alright. So we are back now.
Uh, we have our outfits in their bags downstairs
And I think we should go and try them on.
Jessie's not saying anything. She's just -- J: I'm nervous. (laughs)
S: I think that they'll be good.
J: I guess we're about to find out.
S: Jessie, what do you think of yours?
J: Okay, I would never typically wear this outfit or pick this out but I really like it.
Tyler: I was going to say, a stylish newspaper boy
S: Yeaaah!
Tyler: Right?
S: What do you think is your favorite part about it, like which item is your favorite?
J: Either the jacket or the hat.
They both were things I was unsure about at the end on which item I was going to get.
I'm going to challenge myself today. Who know's if it's gonna work?
Wish me luck!
Tyler: I mean, it's early to say but Jessie, do you think it's date-worthy?
J: I think for this event it might be---
a bit odd? (laughs) but..
Tyler: As for you, Saf, is it a date outfit?
S: Listen Tyler, I don't care if you think it's a date night outfit or not 'cause I'm wearing it on our date.
(laughs)
I don't think that the fluffy jacket was an outfit ruiner
but it definitely took over the outfit.
Like it definitely is, steering it in like a specific direction.
Tyler: I think you look a little bit like a glamorous Beverly Hills mom.
Tyler: Yesss! and I have to go on a date with that!
S: (posh) Yes, Tyler. Take me to the ballet,
Tyler: See, that voice works with this outfit.
S: But overall, I think that it's interesting.
It's not something I would usually pick out either.
S: It's a little abstract. J: Yes.
S: Avant-garde.
The things that are competing in my outfit are like the pants and the jacket.
So I feel like I would literally wear this outfit, with just tighter jeans or something
Or, this without the jacket
Tyler: Your top does match Jessie's hair.
A little bit, like it kind of works.
S: Look at this, it's my bag and my top and Jessie's head.
J: Do I go on the date too, now?
S: Yes. Screw the other guy. J: Screw-- screw that other guy. Screw the party.
I'm- I'm going to the Nutcracker.
S: So I'd say this was part-style challenge
Part-running around, a little bit of brisk power walking.
But nobody got hurt, so, I think we both won today, Jessie. (laughs)
J: Exactly, and my dignity might still be saved.
S: Well thanks for doing this with me today, Jessie.
I'm sorry that I made up spend so much and get so little time at the mall.
Make sure to check out Jessie's channel. I've linked it in the description below
She recently copied the entire cast of Stranger Things' Instagram for a week
S: Almost of the entire cast!
J: Actually, like, not at all. (laughs)
