[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

Are we not going to talk about how Jazz finally got an item that's actually on the same level as Ninas and Chloes items and not significantly cheaper/shittier?

[@carolinec5010]

TWO ITEMS

[@recoil53]

Maybe the stylist updated her inventory. But yeah, tried this time.

[@urmom-kg1lh]

AceLovesDIYs Christopher yessss I was gonna say that

[@ANNA-fg3rz]

that’s what i was thinking 😂

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

I think more what happened is that the stylist picked cheapter jackets for other girls than what was available.

[@hollyehelms1115]

Finally Jaz gets an actually expensive piece! I love the jacket too, this is HER episode. She looks awesome & the hair is great 😭

[@kaylie8486]

I think she stole the show on the Halloween costume video

[@hollyehelms1115]

Destinee Roxana Velasco the whole idea of the epi is expensive designer clothing, so I feel she always gets jipped in that category. Most plus sized clothes in everyday wear are more expensive than the typical small medium large.

[@indigogott8554]

me "ok but why did they go to a dressing room to put on a jacket" me to me: "AESTHETIC"

[@ahlamsaada7080]

So they could come out to the camera lol I was also thinking about that 😂

[@simonehoward5294]

I was thinking microphone wires...

[@faithjohnson8750]

I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THAT

[@will2790]

Woah the stylist actually did a really good job this time. Usually it feels a little off, but this felt super right.

[@taylornegrete3904]

Will ☺️ thank you

[@will2790]

Taylor Negrete yeah you totally hit this one out of the park! Be proud! 😁

[@kaitlynflanagan6770]

I really wish they would include a “middle ground” option. A lot of people are trying to move away from fast fashion, but if they only compare it to $1,000 clothing it isn’t as helpful for the average shopper.

[@taylornegrete3904]

happy to provide some options for you, let me know what pieces you are interested in! can email me at [e-mail] or on IG @thetaylorjanet

[@tashachouinard5373]

I’d love to see this too!

[@heysaucemikehere1804]

Taylor Negrete This is so sweet! I love the professionalism.

[@taylornegrete3904]

Amanda hi there! on occasion they do but most of the time (just like celebrities) it is clothing that was loaned out to me. I wish they could keep everything they try on!

[@jacquelyn4374]

literally my biggest pet peeve with this channel

[@JCstrikesagain]

It's good that Chloe has gone for a second hand option. A great way to get an unique jacket without adding more fabric to landfill.

[@thecheniechenshow1121]

Saving the environment!

[@charlotte7657]

I agree! I LOVE the fact Buzzfeed employees are finally showing secondhand/vintage options (Freddie's makeover with Curly is the other one).

[@maayyyyaaaaaaaa]

I loved Freddie's makeover with Curly! This series is fun but also feels like it encourages fast fashion sometimes. Though I'm glad they addressed how buying plus size secondhand is also harder. They're def heading in the right direction but I still feel like Chloe could've done a better job- an oversized jean jacket is one of the most common pieces you can find in the world of vintage, whereas fast fashion (even if it's secondhand) is for more trendy/less basic pieces. Vintage denim is almost always better quality than what was made within the last 5-10 years when FF really hit. Just check the men's section of a thrift store or Etsy/eBay for online! And true, FF is usually cheapest in the short term but if you factor in the longevity of the jacket and social costs behind putting it on the market, thrifting vintage is the way to go, especially with a jean jacket. Also don't be afraid to ask for more/clearer/modeled pics when buying things online! (That Poshmark seller is sh*tty and I hope Chloe reports them)

[@JCstrikesagain]

@@lolalacey1377 you don't have to be rude because I feel it is worth mentioning in a comment that Chloe buying second hand is great. Given how polluting the fashion industry is, people in comments of videos congratulating those for being more eco-friendly may encourage video producers to buy more second hand items. Perhaps you should keep the snarky comments to yourself.

[@heysaucemikehere1804]

Lola Lacey There is absolutely no point is saying this, they were expressing their opinion that they _enjoyed_ the fact that they did secondhand. In the video they just say that they are _doing_ secondhand. Getting comments saying that they enjoyed it will make them more likely to do it more often. Please think before you speak.

[@rantallaboutit]

I love how you can tell how analytical and observant Jazz is. She's sometimes very quiet and you can tell she's listening and she also looks everything and everyone over.

[@medicspirit]

Nina knew exactly what was coming with the cheap coat why is she shocked.

[@gleamingold4169]

Maryse Dbd and it looked thin/stretchy in the pics online too, so idk what she was thinking

[@kelsey2333]

Probably just looking for the cheapest thing for a shocking title

[@recoil53]

Sometimes things look even worse in real life. Pictures don't tell the whole story.

[@natalkageorgievova3869]

recoil53 i totally agree. i think people are saying that online you could tell it wasn’t going to be good quality but nina seemed to not notice that

[@anastasiaromanova7665]

Exactly! What she playin at?!

[@lesismore49]

Chloe, go to a farm store. Look in the men's clothing section. You'll find a jacket nearly identical for less than $100 and it will last your whole life.

[@emilee-has-legs]

this, this is quality wisdom and advice

[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

U are a wise human being and are completely and obviously superior to us normal carbon life forms

And her hair and her cheap,jacket together 🥰😍🥰😍

[@forestfae3160]

*Nina scrunches up sleeves* Me: “noooooooooooo”

[@para-yw9dn]

ikr yikes

[@laurenperales4666]

Omg I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought that

[@abbigailnielsen2982]

I was literally scrolling in the comments to see if this bothered anyone else!! The way she just CRUNCHED them up I was like oh my god that's $800!!

[@marielismuniz2929]

That was painful to watch 😂

[@blairegray7849]

nina’s cheap “jacket” would be a pretty cool swimsuit cover up ngl

[@safewithout]

Chloe: ew fast fashion, going to avoid Nina: ROMWE I-

[@fredstolemysocks2]

She should add patches or something on the elbows. Like go find some cool fabric and patch it up!

[@jeald0003]

It could be a great DIY challenge. But a reminder of why people are wary of trying online thrifting. This type of seller ruins it for everyone. But a crafty person could turn it around. It still won't be what she was looking for though.

[@jamievee8375]

Or make it short sleeved too and take off the fur. That’s what I’d do or probably make it a vest

[@jeald0003]

The thing I can't deal with Nina's how the print doesn't align. All the way down the back it's just off and wonky. Chloe should absolutely give a poor review for her jacket, the seller completely misrepresented what the buyer was getting...elbows are an important part of jackets

[@katieizzo2978]

Jazz’s jacket looks like a fancy robe and i’m here for it

[@lisatiberi7448]

Edit: a robe for a private detective.

[@nenapen15]

Chloe should’ve gotten the depop jacket instead! I knew she wouldn’t love the Poshmark jacket considering it said the size was small and not oversized... Also, while the grid pattern of Nina’s cheap jacket was cool, her trench option would’ve been better to compare to her expensive one.

[@alyssavidana3494]

At 5:08 you can see the description for the jacket and the seller does say the jacket is oversized. It also says “only worn once.” That seller just wanted to get rid of the jacket and make a quick buck

[@itsary.1362]

But the girl was smaller than chloe

[@LoveCrumb]

I really appreciate that they're finally being more socially conscious in this series.

[@kelsey2333]

How so

[@LoveCrumb]

@@kelsey2333 They're addressing the environmental issues of fast fashion. I feel like buzzfeed videos, especially on this channel, and social media platforms encourage the fast fashion industry, so it's time for them to at least acknowledge the environmental dangers of fast fashion, though there are other large issues associated with fast fashion not related to the environment as well.

[@calvoekleiden8664]

Liz I would think that’d be more environmentally conscience than socially but 🤐

[@calvoekleiden8664]

Liz actually I spelled conscious wrong so I automatically lose the argument

[@LoveCrumb]

@@calvoekleiden8664 hahaha no worries. I can see your point, but I think we both mean the same thing in the end. Fast fashion is an intersectional issue...it's not only bad for the environment but it also encourages terrible wages & working conditions for the people and possibly children making the clothes :(

[@reemtri]

I wish she had gone to an actual physical thrift store

[@MrPrince0904]

I am so glad they are being more conscious of fast fashion. I love this series! I really do! But even though I always loved what they found for the non fancy version it killed me that they went for fast fashion. LOVE THE GROWTH!!!

[@kshamagirish5173]

when i saw the $10 in the title i was like ughhhh this is just contributing to fast fashion and making it just about money!! but then i saw how they were being a bit more conscious and i was like yes! esp with the vegan fabric

[@marinacover8699]

Hi! I’d love if you could list some more ethical clothing brands or places to thrift online, tips in general etc. I don’t buy clothes too often but I’d love a little guidance to do so more sustainably if you don’t mind. Thanks!

[@Delordem]

Jaz has really grown on me - and also can we talk about how she can pull off and slay literally any hair style and colour???

[@emilydenny5276]

The designer pieces all felt spot on to what they were looking for (save for Chloe wanting a black distressed jacket, but it was such a nicely structured oversized jacket), I think this is my favorite of these episodes for the expensive version

[@Diana-cg8qj]

Why tf did they go in the back to try on jackets 😐

[@gogirl77199]

so they could do the ‘big’ reveal to eachother

[@zeenathunnisa3571]

bro the exact frickin thought running in my head the whole time...

Sucks for Chole's first jacket. Maybe she can sew in denim from an old pair of jeans that would give a slight contrast but still look stylish.

[@Kimizinha1]

This stylist is so much nicer than the other one . She looks like she actually likes to be there with them doing their thing

[@morgangirard9845]

It's not only important to not shop fast fashion because its bad for the environment but also because the people that make clothes for fast fashion stores are under paid over worked and in dangerous working conditions although it's hard to find plus size clothes second hand it's not impossible

[@maddiethegladiator]

Morgan Girard thank you for pointing this out!!! It’s a humanitarian issue!!!!!

[@beccalife275]

I think Nina could have also thrifted, at least for this episode where she was looking for a jacket you wear open.

[@daphneandava]

When you shop on poshmark you should ask them for more photos. It's pretty common to ask.

[@acelovesdiyschristopher7023]

Yesss and it was so close to the color she wanted. At least she can do something cool like the fishnets jazz suggested with the jacket she got.

[@friendlyneighborhoodgoth]

best jacket I ever bought. a black denim oversized mens jacket I bought with my sick employee discount when I worked at gap for like 2 months. the pockets are HUGE, it. looks good with everything. I paid about $40 for it. best $40 I ever spent

[@flyingskyhighify]

Okay gap is amazing. I bought a men's flannel shirt that was regular price like 60$ and I got it for 5$ on clearance and it was my FAVORITE SHIRT. most worn shirt until I left it at a friend's house and it fell in a black hole. Got a replacement one already. I also buy all my jeans there

[@foxroxy86]

She should take the denim jacket to a tailor and have them sew patches where the holes are. She could use some old jeans. This will keep the distressed look and make it wearable for cheap!

[@andievecchione9315]

If Chloe wants to repurpose her denim jacket, she might try cutting the sleeves off for a denim vest or going one step further and replacing the sleeves with ones from another jacket she might find at a thrift store. The 2nd jacket wouldn't have to be denim and that might make a great look depending on what she found.

[@oviavoin]

Fast fashion gives people happy feeling of being trendy, edgy, like those beautiful models in their commercials. I gives you pleasure of buying a new thing you've never had before. I think having more content on how to fee gorgeous and be happy without ton of clothes would be nice.
