- This.
This.
Ah, all right.
(upbeat music)
- Oh my gosh.
- Okay, so.
(singing)
(curious music)
- All right.
I'm a little nervous.
Woo!
And, a flannel.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so here's the thing with flannel.
It's not something that I own.
- I am not a fan of flannel.
I've never been a fan of flannel.
I used to ride horses a lot and so I lived in flannels,
but ever since then
I kind of have a secret, not-so-secret hatred of flannel.
- It's like true, you're going hunting,
you need a thick shirt flannel.
I'm interested to see how this is gonna work.
(upbeat music)
(growling)
- Getting some Brawny man vibes.
Let's go!
- Ooh.
What was that?
Oh my God, things are happening.
If this is not the quintessential plaid lumberjack look,
I don't know what is.
(upbeat music)
- I'm definitely gonna crop it, for sure.
- Hmm.
This is a great classic piece.
I think it fits me.
I hope it fits me how I want it.
- Okay, when you think of flannels,
a few things come to mind.
One, lumberjacks.
They're hot.
I'm not one.
Two, lesbians.
I am a lesbian.
I'm not a flannel type of lesbian.
- I have to say, though, it's super comfy.
My first reaction was like,
I wanna take this off and tie it around my waste,
but I wanna try something different.
- My challenge is definitely gonna be styling this
in a way that you don't see every day.
- Let's see how this goes.
(upbeat music)
- I've seen videos of people turning these into skirts.
I could go with like, preppy high school
Catholic girl vibes.
I feel like, very descendant of Santa Claus.
I'm gonna look at my butt.
My butt looks good, but I'm gonna change tops.
I decided to go with my girl power shirt
that I got from Etsy.
The light wash jeans.
And then, I'll be pairing it with a flannel.
- So I have an idea of how I'm going to cut it.
I'll probably make it into a short-sleeve shirt,
cut the hem, all that stuff.
Although it's chilly today.
Should I leave the sleeves on?
The reality of the situation is that it's not terrible.
It's just very cropped.
Pants.
Dark blue jeans.
I have cropped, guys.
Here it is.
I don't know if the necklace is too much.
- I'm still not really sure what direction I wanna do,
but I feel like because it's so baggy up here,
maybe there's a cool way that I can tie it
into something else.
- I know this looks super weird, but.
And then you can usefully use the sleeves.
Tie it together like this.
I don't know that I really like it though.
Okay, this time I ended up getting changed off-camera
and I tried it on as a skirt.
It almost feels like a pencil skirt or something.
This is probably the outfit
that I actually like the most,
even though I literally have done nothing
other than just wear it over a body suit
and a pair of shorts.
- It's not a great fit.
Like, I definitely don't think that I would wear it closed.
I really don't know how to wear this, to be honest.
I'm gonna start looking through my closet
and see where we go from there.
This is what I've kinda of come up with.
I feel like if I'm gonna wear plaid,
I'm gonna make it look a little punk.
I actually really like this outfit.
I think it's pretty cute.
So here's a variation of something
I basically just was wearing.
It's a black leatherette skirt
and a pair of black boots.
I don't hate this, I just don't love it
as much as the other one.
All right, so this is the third option.
It kinda feels like we're here to take a walk,
take your dog on a walk.
We're here for it.
- When I went to pick up my shirt,
I literally just got it.
Sara told us that we could cut it
and I was like, oh, I've really wanted to do
this asymmetrical two-tone look that I've been seeing
kind of kick off.
I personally don't know how to cut or stitch or sew things,
so I'm going to resource out to my good friend Shiquita
who's going to try and make this work for me.
So I've got Shiquita here,
who says she can sew.
- I'm a self-taught sewist.
- I'm putting this in your hands
'cause I wasn't prepared to cut up this shirt,
but I'm also like, it's old, it's dingy.
- Yeah. - It's time to let it go.
- We're fine.
(curious music)
- All right y'all, so I finally got my shirt
back from Shiquita.
And y'all, it looks so good.
Bro, she hooked it up for me, she hooked it up.
I'm so excited.
Now the challenging part comes of what to style this with.
Like, a dark jean?
But then I'm like, but that's light, should I?
Oh, I just got a new pair of shorts.
I don't like it 'cause the denims are off.
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind.
I could just do like, black leggings and call it a.
I think I'm gonna pair it with a pair of black leggings.
My Converse, my white Converse.
And gold jewelry.
- Alrighty friends, I have my flannel here
and I went through all my closets
and kind of picked what I think
would fit best.
Skirts here, a dress.
The first option we have here is this plaid dress.
I think I can do better than this.
I'm not really feeling this too much,
so let's try the next outfit.
Next option is this lovely vintage polkadot skirt.
It's so pretty.
This is a little bit better.
This is a little more my style.
I think if I put some pants on
that will kind of help me out with this
a little bit more.
I love these plaid pants
and I think the red in the pants
kind of ties it in with the flannel top.
I think that this jacket
might actually go with my outfit.
Let's see.
Wow, I feel like this coat
just took it to the next level.
Just gotta put some shoes on and some accessories
and then, I think we should call it a day.
- It kinda fits perfectly.
This is what the flannel signaled to me.
I don't think this is like, a revelation of an outfit.
I feel like I lose all my curves
'cause it's just like a big sack.
I don't love being a big sack.
I feel like a queer lumberjack TicToker.
Call me crazy, I feel like this is uglier
but I like it more.
This whole like, my sleeves are rolled up
but my long sleeves are peaking out beneath it
is weird, but I like it.
- I was hoping it would be a little bit longer
so I could wear it as a dress,
but I don't think that would be possible.
Okay, so here is the potential outfit.
I have here some white boots.
I haven't tried this on yet.
I'm gonna see if my vision comes alive
or if it's, I don't know,
something that doesn't work.
So this is a perfect example of when an idea
doesn't work out (laughs).
I tried to make something different with the sleeves,
but it didn't work because,
I don't know, it just, I don't think it works.
So I think this is more my style.
I decided to pair everything with a cami dress,
the same white western boots,
and some white sunglasses.
I think it will look cute.
If it doesn't, I'm pretty sure it will work.
So I think we have a look.
This looks good to me.
It's comfortable.
It's my style.
- I have the shirt on
but I must say, the fit is a lot better than I anticipated.
These are the outfits I was thinking.
I pulled them out.
This would be more for the 1950s inspired
clean cut and denim, with like, a blazer.
But then, I'm really drawn to this one.
I call this my 90s inspired,
but brought to this century as the 90s look.
Actually last century.
So this is a kimono denim jacket.
I like the fact that you can still see the flannel shirt.
I think it's a cute contrast.
I wore it with a crop top.
Not sure if I'm gonna button this all the way
or leave it open,
but I see those blue boots in the background
and I think they'll be nice.
Pop of color is always nice.
I'm digging this.
- My instinct is to go with pants.
I am not the type that would wear a dress with a flannel,
and I don't think I have any dresses
that could pull off, but should I look?
Ooh, but also I could put a suit with it.
No.
I think I was trying to make this a button up,
but I'm not thinking.
I think I'm gonna go with my original,
which is playing up the andro look.
Black turtle neck.
Cute.
Getting my go-to chains.
What shoes, what shoes?
Ah.
This didn't take me too long,
but I'm also nervous.
I don't know.
I think it's gonna look cute.
Let's put it on and see.
(upbeat music)
So, I paired it with a black turtle neck.
I then grabbed my two necklaces
that I wear with most of my turtlenecks.
And then I grabbed some simple, white shoes.
At the end, I put on a hat and some glasses
because your girl loves accessories.
Which honestly, it was hot.
I looked good.
- I went back to just wearing the shirt
as the classic over shirt.
But I think it looks so cute with the tank,
the shorts, the Chucks.
- Seriously, I did not think
that I could make an outfit that was this cute.
I am so proud of myself.
- Here is my final look.
Remember, I was giving y'all real vintage West Coast,
so I've got the big hoops earrings, the gold chain,
even got a (bell ringing).
I'm really, really feeling this, y'all.
- I kinda feel a little bit like a (beeps) boy,
but like, I kinda (beeps) with that, so like, I'm fine.
I don't hate it as much as I thought I did.
I'm maybe pro plaid now.
- (laughs) I like this outfit.
Fun, okay.
(upbeat music)
- I decided to combine everything
with this white handbag.
Put on some white sunnies because who doesn't love
a big oversized pair of white sunnies?
- To complete the look,
I went with a wide-brimmed hat,
added a red bag, and blue boots for a pop of color.
- I ended up cropping the hem of the shirt,
as well as the sleeves,
and then I paired that with double denim.
Still think that I cropped the shirt
a little bit too short, but it didn't break it for me.
- It's casual, but you can play it up.
So I like to play it up
with adding the pins and the T-shirt.
I picked something that was really easy and fun.
