- These are the most unflattering pair of pants
I've ever worn or seen (laughs)
in 62 years of my life.
- [Chelsea] I thought you were 65.
- Oh, yeah.
(swoosh) My name is Susan.
- Hey, I'm Chelsea Linden Lloyd.
- And I will be swapping clothing brands
with my daughter. - With my mom.
(swooshing)
- For three days I'm going to be wearing clothes
from stores that my daughter shops at.
- My fashion is a little bit excentric.
I love shopping at Forever 21,
H&M, Urban Outfitters,
and Boohoo.
I like bold statement pieces.
- I think that Chelsea's style of clothing
(camera snaps photo) is kind of hip and care free
(camera snaps photo) I think she should go
for more of a sophisticated look.
- I'm not saying I'm extra, but I am saying I am extra.
(swoosh) - I like neutrals
with a splash of color.
I like shopping online at Venus, Anne Taylor,
Macy's 'cause I like INC, and then Nordstrom.
I like to stand out, but not be ostentatious.
- [Chelsea] My opinion on my mom's style
is retired Jewish woman living
in the burbs fashionista tennis club chic,
they all look very put together and fashionable
so I will give her that.
- I'm going to be wearing three different outfits.
- The first day she'll be picking out an outfit for me.
- [Susan] And one will be an outfit
that I would wear to work.
- [Chelsea] And going out outfit for myself.
One thing that makes me nervous about shopping
at the same brands as my mom is the fact
that they say you become your mom,
and I'm basically becoming my mom way earlier than
I had planned to.
Cheers to being open minded. (Clap)
Rah, rah!
(window wipe)
(upbeat music)
It's 7AM and I'm excited because some
of my boxes came last night,
let's see what happens!
- This is the outfit I chose for myself.
(camera snaps photo) from Forever 21,
and I am so pleased, I can't even tell you.
I spent so much time looking for something
that was appropriate and everything
was just super short or super tight,
it's not super Susan.
- I'm having a nice dress moment.
We're happy that the dress almost fits,
but she's a little big on the side the bra
is showing moment.
We're loving the shoes.
- I bought these earrings at Forever 21.
The earrings are the only thing, I think,
are a little too glitzy.
They're kind of a very bright gold,
so they kind of look a little cheap,
and they're kind of a little clangy.
- It's way cuter than (camera takes photo)
I thought it would be, especially coming
from Venus slash a store I haden't even heard of.
- I'm so excited.
I actually love this dress, thumbs up.
(swoosh) - Though how was your day
in this outfit?
- Well, this is not my typical outfit,
but I do like it.
It's kind of femenine and flirty.
- This is this, however it was a little too big.
- I love it.
That color is fantastic.
It's not cue, it's hot it's sophisticated.
That color looks so good on you.
You should wear really bold, striking,
vibrant colors like that.
- I would definitely wear it.
I felt like it did reflect my personal style,
and I was surprised to get something this cute
from a, no offense, mom-ish brand.
(upbeat music)
So, the clothes took forever to come,
so I've since decided to quarantine at my mom's house.
Welcome to my childhood bedroom.
I've been wearing these,
if you are able to see, (heaves)
(camera snaps photo) all of today,
they're my work day pants.
I think they're super comfortable.
- I chose this outfit from H&M.
And actually, really like it.
It's something that I would totally wear
(camera snaps photo) for a business meeting.
And then the shirt, love the color.
- The pants are very, very comfortable.
I would recommend them to other people.
I'm surprised that I like something from Anne Taylor.
- This is pretty me, I mean this
is actually even a little fancier than I would wear,
but if I was trying to be a little bit professional
I would feel comfortable wearing this.
- Spreading gossip at the water cooler.
Hey, Fran, did you see the latest gossip?
No, I didn't.
The latest gossip is...
nobody chers.
(crowd laughs)
Chers like chers for cherry, that was the worst.
(swoosh) Since we are together now
in quarantine, we thought we'd do our Facetime call.
- Love this color, and I like the fact that it's stretchy,
but it's not super me.
- Would you expect H&M to have clothes like this?
- I would.
They have some work clothes and cas clothes, so yeah.
- I can see myself wearing these to work.
- You, probably for work, would need
to wear a blazer or something, don't you think?
- Probably. - [Susan] Yeah.
- Rate your outfit one out of 10.
- Seven point five.
- I rate mine, I would also say a seven point five.
- I know, copy cat.
She always copies me.
(light instrumental music) - And now for the outfit
that my mom picked out for me.
- Oh, (plastic rustling)
it's definitely something that's her.
- Leopard top.
This feels like something my mom would pick out for me.
Sara Jessica Parker on her most glorious day,
or my deceased grandmother Eva at her funeral.
- Some sort of jeans
that are kind of gathered
on the bottom which is not my style.
- These are some pants from Macy's.
- Ta, da!
I shall try on the outfit now.
(swoosh)
These are the most unflattering pair of pants
I've ever worn or seen in 62 years of my life.
- [Chelsea] I thought you were 65.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm sure they're even more unflattering in the back.
- Okay, INC.
This top from INC actually fit a lot better than
I thought it would.
(camera snaps photo) The jeans fit great.
Also could work for work, and I'm okay with this.
I do feel a little mom-ish, my mom picked this out
and I do feel like this ages me a bit,
but sometimes you wanna look a older,
you know what I'm saying?
(camera snaps photo) - I actually like the red
with the leopard and the jeans,
I think it works, but it's a little splashy for me,
so I wouldn't wear it out.
I just wouldn't wear this.
And, I'm not sure the headband works.
I might just have to give it to Chelsea though,
because it's just a little bit too young for me.
(swoosh)
- I feel like I look 10 years older
and you look 10 years younger.
(laughs) - At least 10.
But, I think I kind of look ridiculous.
I love the top, I love the silkiness,
and I like the leopard,
but I just don't think the pants are that flattering
and certainly this headband.
That looks really good on you.
- This outfit reminds me
of something you would wear, for sure.
- Yeah, I would.
Pants fit really good.
- Yeah, thank you.
- So why'd you get me these big baggie pants
that look like -- - They're not baggy!
- Oh, come on! - They're hip.
Would you ever wear this in your real life?
Yes or no? - Never, ever!
Ever, if I wore this out
of the house I would be cringing with embarrassment.
Now, I would wear this with black jeans, hello.
- Forever 21, I mean, Forever 51.
- Forever 51.
- 1, 2, 3 (magical chimes)
Do your pants fit?
- No, they're like, no.
Don't! (laughs)
(swoosh) Finally done
with the clothes swapping experience.
- Honestly, this was such an interesting experiement for me.
I think I will stick to a lot of the brands that I like,
but that I can find some things
at quote unquote mom brands, and maybe you will too.
- Sure, I'd do it again if I had the opportunity,
'cause why not?
- After all, I guess I'll be a mom at some point.
