- Today I'm wearing a dress that hate.
There's not really any selling point
for why I'm doing this.
I got this dress at a vintage estate sale
and there was something about it
that I was like I can pull this off.
And it was really marked down
so I just decided to get it.
Two years later, it has been sitting
in my closet with the tag on it
and I've never worn it.
There is no occasion or season
that it really fits for.
The dress has a very high neck
and then it has a slit down the legs.
This is like the dress that Angelina Jolie
would wear in Tom Raider
when she's like hiding knives and guns under her dress.
And needs to assassinate someone.
(ding)
(jazz music)
I'm ready to try it on, I guess.
(upbeat, suspenseful music)
So welcome to the year 2030, apparently.
I'm about ready to hop on my spaceship.
This dress is also way more staticky than I remember.
Like, I cannot walk without it sticking.
It looks like an elephant ear.
(laughing)
So I have a couple things going on today
that I really love to not be wearing this dress for:
I have to interview someone,
I have a couple of important meetings,
but I guess this is just who I am now.
On the plus side, it's incredibly comfy.
It's kind of Snuggy Chic.
I'm on day one of my period
so I need comfort over everything.
Fuck my life.
(sigh)
I already put a jacket over it.
I know I'm very overly dramatic,
but it just feels a little extra for work, I guess.
You know think it's weird?
- It's beautiful!
I love the color.
I love...
- [Kirsten] Sydney, what do you think?
Sydney's laughing over there.
You are 100% rocking it,
but understand why it was sitting in your closet.
- [Kirsten] Okay, thank you.
I have noticed a really bad part of this dress
and it is that when I walk,
this slit just happens
and it's just a lot.
What do you think of the outfit
I'm wearing right now?
- I really like it.
I'm a sucker for good
- [Kirsten] High neck?
- High neck, yeah.
- [Kirsten] I'm trying to get work done
and I look down
(playful music)
That's really...
That's really great for work.
I had a video call with someone
and they complimented my outfit
so I don't know if that's because
they thought it was a shirt and they don't realize
I'm wearing a suede almost floor length dress.
But, I will take it.
- It's shiny in the ways.
Is it suede because it changes - [Kirsten] Yes
It's very soft.
- I feel like it's an appropriate work dress too.
- Yeah - [Kirsten] Okay
- It's like what if you have some meetings.
- [Kirsten] Okay.
So it is almost the end of the day
I just pumped gas in this.
I have never felt more over dressed pumping gas.
The attendant looked at me, kind of like
This maybe isn't the place for that dress.
But no one's really noticed.
In fact, I've gotten a couple compliments.
So, I think this just proves that you're in your own head
more than anyone else is really thinking
about what you're doing.
I'm home and I was like, yes
it's time to take off the dress.
The zipper's too god damn high
so I'm gonna have to wait for zip me out of it.
Also this was a big problem all day.
I just felt like I was on edge
of flashing someone my butt.
My girlfriend is getting home later than I expected
so I've been doing like this contortionist act.
My face is all red.
Pray for me.
Clothes should be worn if they make you feel good.
I mean, clothes should be worn probably, at least at work.
But I got this dress and some part of me
really loved this dress.
Next time I wear it, I'll probably wear it
to a more formal event.
No one really cares what you're wearing.
You can take the fast fashion risks
you wanna take and no one's really watching.
(upbeat music)
