(Coming up in this video)
Hey mom.
Hey honey, what are you doing?
I'm just doing some homework.
Were you able to find that Gucci belt that you promised me?
Actually, no. I did not get a chance to go to Gucci,
but I had so many errands to run.
I just ended up going to the thrift store and donating some clothes.
Oh, that's so nice of you.
Oh, did you know I ran into.
Who?
Do you remember your friend Hannah?
Yeah, of course I remember Hannah.
We were like best friends.
Yeah, she was there and she was shopping.
Oh, Why would Hannah be shopping at a thrift store?
Honey, they actually have really great things if you bargain hunt.
Eeew, who wants to do that?
I'd rather just go to the department store
and ask the clerk for the latest and trendiest.
Well, honey, if you wear what the store clerk tells you to wear,
you're going to look like everyone else.
You know what? You're right, mom.
So I think that I should have everything custom made.
Speaking of, the homecoming, dance is coming up.
Custom made? You know we can't afford that.
You're just a high school kid.
But mom, you know, kids can be so mean because of what you wear.
I can't believe that stuff happens still this day and age.
If it does. You should go to the principal's office.
Oh, mom, you would be surprised about what happens in school.
Well, I'm sorry I didn't get you that belt, but I'm sure you have plenty of
options for school tomorrow.
OK, fine. But you know I hate wearing the same thing twice.
You know, there are a lot of kids that don't get enough clothes,
let alone new clothes.
That's why there are thrift shops.
Yeah, whatever, mom.
I'll make it work.
Do you know what you're wearing for homecoming?
I was looking at something formal. Interesting.
Not me. I'm going to have something handmade
based after a design I saw on the red carpet last month.
It's going to be amazing.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at hand me down Hannah.
What is she wearing?
I have to get a picture of this.
Are you kidding me?
That was the hardest assignment ever.
You are so bad. Yeah.
But I do it so well.
[Narrator] Sydney judged Hanas outfit harshly
[Narrator] and posted negatively about it on social media.
Class, unfortunately, I have to step away for a minute.
But why don't you use the time to get a head start on tonight's homework?
OK, hand me down, Hannah.
Where did you get those clothes?
Grandma Republic?
No, no.
Who are you to talk about style?
Well, since you asked.
My mom got this for me from Neiman Marcus. Not on sale.
Well, Neiman Marcus, I see a bunch of that stuff
at the thrift store, marked down, because nobody wants it.
Oh, the thrift store.
So you do shop there after all.
What do you guys think about that?
What was the name of that store again?
Never Twenty one.
OK, class, I'm back.
Thank you for behaving so well while I was out.
Now let's get back to the lesson.
Right now, we're going to discuss anthropology and the dating of antique artifacts.
Can we discuss fashion through the centuries?
Because I think I know what they looked like 200 years ago.
Maybe another day Sydney
today will focus on pottery.
Oh, Facebook post. What?
Sydney posted this about her friend's clothes.
I got to do something about this.
[Narrator] Sydney's mom saw her daughter's post and decided
[Narrator] she had to do something drastic to stop her reckless behavior.
Well, no more department store clothes for Sydney if she wants clothes for school.
We're going to have to go to a different store.
Mom. Mom, where are my clothes?
I have to get ready for school tomorrow and I have nothing in my closet.
Oh, you'll be so happy.
I just donated them to the Red Cross.
Red Cross. That is great and all, but what am I going to wear to school?
Oh, great news. We're going to go shopping. Really?
That is my favorite thing to do.
Mom, what is this place?
Oh, I've never been here before.
Honey, this is the thrift shop I was telling you about.
Well, what are we doing here?
I don't have any more clothes to donate
WE'RE not here to donate.
We're here to shop.
You're getting a new wardrobe.
What?
You want me to wear one of these outfits?
Oh, no. You can get all you want as long as you don't spend over 50 dollars.
But I hope it's something designer.
Fine. I'll let you pick everything yourself.
I'll be up at the register.
Eeew, eeew, uhgg.
Too pirate, too western,
too medieval, too Bojo. Boho?
Bacon and herb, I don't know what it smells like.
Whatever, it doesn't matter, oh.
Ooooh, hahaha.
Oh, how the turntables.
Hey, you guys want to mind your own business and not bug me?
Oh, I like the way you didn't bug me?
Oh, well, we just noticed your clothes.
Yeah, they're quite eclectic.
Oh, those new clothes.
And they look familiar.
You know, you shouldn't really worry about what other people wear.
Totally thrifty!
That's where you got that outfit.
You know, I almost bought that.
OK, fine. Let me have it.
I got it coming.
I think it looks better on you.
Oh, what?
Oh, you know what, Hannah?
I'm sorry for the way I treated you.
Now I realize that everyone has their own sense of style.
You do?
Yeah. I realized when I was shopping there
that you can have so much more individuality,
way more than you would a department store where a clerk just tells you what to wear.
if you like that one. There's a pop up one from New York
that only comes to town twice a year.
Really?
And it's invitation only.
But I can take a guest.
Would you like to go?
I'd love to!
[Narrator] Sydney thought it was OK to make fun of someone for their clothes,
[Narrator] but found out what it was like to be in their shoes
just because someone has their own sense of style
doesn't mean that yours is better than theirs.
