I love a good target run and this just shows that more expensive doesn’t always mean better ☺️

[@justjesschannel]

Yes!!

[@hannahfennell5597]

Is it better ethically and made more green? Could explain the cost…

[@snappiepappie9899]

Yesss I remember when you did this challenge with Walmart!! Love these types of vids

[@hannahfennell5597]

I wish you could have talked about the sustainability and ethics of each company, could explain the cost and quality difference…

[@yunkimin97]

not everyone can afford ethical and sustainable clothing. find me a shop that is ethical, sustainable, caters towards plus size people, AND low income people can buy from.

[@emmatkacz454]

honestly aritzia is still fast fashion just expensive fast fashion lol

[@cassiewilliams2798]

Hi Marla I absolutely lobe your clothing line!!! Especially your Darcie dress I was wondering if you guys would consider making your brand more size inclusive specifically adding plus sizes. Personally I wear a size 20 in clothing and I would love to support your brand and rock the brand’s dresses especially. I know it is probably a big ask but i thought I would try anyway. I love how your brand is such high quality but also are pieces that are on the modest side. Either way I would love to keep supporting your brand anyway I can!!!

[@victoriallopez]

I work at Aritzia and you possibly could’ve gotten a different material for the biker shorts!! We have like 5 different materials if not more lol. Also babaton and Wilfred are the most expensive brands. TNA and Sunday best is gonna be a little more affordable and also has good staple basics

[@emilywoodall8759]

But labour needs to be a consideration when comparing prices as it is a key factor in setting price but also ethics

[@hannahfennell5597]

100% something that really should have been discussed…

[@emilywoodall8759]

@@hannahfennell5597 I agree because materials really don't cost much in comparison to labour generally. Compensation for labour determines profit so consumers should expect and be willing to pay higher prices if they value higher compensation for the workers (which usually isn't even enough)

[@taylorgirard6626]

this is true but, none of aritzia’s labor is certified meaning there is no way to ensure that their workers are being treated or paid fairly

[@emilywoodall8759]

@@taylorgirard6626 Oh interesting! That's good to know, thanks! I think consumers should demand better, we shouldn't be demanding cheaper so it is comparable to companies that sell fast fashion but better labour conditions and wages for prices such as Aritzia's

[@yunkimin97]

you also need to take into account how low income/plus size people are excluded from ethical and sustainable clothing stores.

[@bignata6082]

I love that you have been more active on yt!

[@evadepeva11]

is nobody going to mention marla just APPARATING from thin air??!! she's a wizard, harry jokes aside, loved this video!!

[@rebekahmann1901]

The Target dress suits you so well!

[@madisonknapp2636]

ur uploads make my day boo boo

[@seidimeow]

oh geeeeez, I'm working towards being a school librarian some day and I HAVE the first "librarian" sweater you got from target haha 😂 but I got it from either forever 21 or H&M some time ago for $10 and I love it, just a lil heavy but it's good quality 👏

[@ms-zf4zw]

You look so good in the aritzia dress ! !

[@FashionChaletNET]

I actually found your channel from that Brandy vs Walmart video.. and then quickly became a part of the FAM :) xx

[@rickirichardson5347]

Im living for this content!❤

[@emmatkacz454]

i literally bought that eastery sweater vest a couple weeks ago because it reminded me of you omg

[@camillephillips3524]

The orange flare pants look so good on u!

[@SJ-vo1bw]

Hi Marla, great video. I think Target does pretty good too. Next time you do one of these videos, would you consider telling us what the label says as far as the fibers and what % cotton, wool, rayon, spandex...etc. Thanks for the great videos, I love your channel.

[@aldaamelia7833]

TNA’s chill line is cheaper, I agree it isn’t worth buying but their butter atmosphere line is comparable to Lululemon! Love this series btw

[@bunnyblue2366]

I wish I could shop at your clothing line, but apparently the clothes don’t have my size

[@ebubechiabonyi5149]

I’m sorry but that green shirt for $45 is an L. I don’t care how good the quality is that is way too expensive 😭

[@everythingsydn3y]

i’ve been waiting for this one yesss!!!🤩

[@k8lnn]

I think a really big issue is that you are not discussing the traceability of said garments? Why is target so cheap? Are their items made in ethical factories.....? I'd rather pay higher prices than support child labour or unsafe working conditions. Also-- the quality of the fabric... Is it OKEO-Tex certified? Recycled fibres? Aritzia will display that traceability.... does Target do the same....? I'd like to see you do a comparison on other factors besides price-- just because something is cheaper doesn't mean its better. Look at the breakdown as for why something costs 88 bucks

[@yunkimin97]

not everyone can afford to pay the prices you do.

[@yunkimin97]

also, I see your point, but if you want to talk sustainability, talk about the exclusivity of the movement as well.

[@k8lnn]

@@yunkimin97 life is all about choices

[@snappiepappie9899]

That’s not what the video was about tho, she just wants to show people that you can get cute clothes at places you might not expect them to be at like Target/Walmart which is great for teens who can’t afford much but still want to be trendy. Sometimes a kid just wants to be like everyone else. I think she’s awesome for making a vid like this.

[@k8lnn]

It’s a way of thinking and not addressing it is important! People don’t just grow up and become sustainable and ethically minded- it’s a lifestyle adoption

[@BellaMiaAguilera]

This video was awesome! You really went into detail and it was not only entertaining but also helpful :)) thank you

[@SundayJess]

Love your style Marla and I need to shop your store! Keep up the clothing vids!

[@samanthachristie0]

you need the tna BUTTER biker shorts!!! they are the best!!!

[@oliviarose374]

yesss i love this video

[@chloeross5]

When you burped and fell back… Me hahahahaahah i laughed for 5 minutes

[@lucazacre]

Finally another video

[@sarahcastaneda3429]

Love this 💖

[@everythingsydn3y]

target is superior always 🤭

[@ronnieswansonn]

i love aritzia but unfortunately the tnachill biker shorts are soooo bad. only their expensive ones are good quality and their sweatpants are my favourite but i only wait to buy them when they’re on sale cause they’re too pricey 😭

[@ctaylor8150]

love the vid. Please keep in mind for next time that the crochet top at target is most likely handmade which means whoever made it is not getting paid the money they deserve.

[@samanthatahitiestrada4547]

You're never going to do a meet up? 🥺🥺

[@naomiyohannes4708]

early 💕love ur videos

[@denisesymess]

As my grandma always said, you pay for the name not the quality sometimes.

[@benspiritas7050]

Marlacatherine I love corduroy

[@FashionChaletNET]

YES YES YES!!!!

[@americanosycho]

marla no offense but i just took a look at your shop and your prices are just as expensive as aritzia. you could claim yours are ethically sourced but the same could be said about aritzia.

[@mrmeme-jq6qr]

Use my pause button on this video, Lots of fun for me

[@luzlainez4551]

Does anyone know any good dresses shops

[@ctaylor8150]

and please consider making your clothing line inclusive! :) xs-5x

My day is instantly better after I watch your video. I remember I had a huge fight my boyfriend recently, I almost broke up with him, I was so stressed out so I played your video and I was *laughing* , laughing hard, like all my problems dissappeared
