my awful fitting room experience, trader joe's haul, and taking a break ❤️

[@luvjustinbieber789]

thank you so much for including the Reformation piece in this vlog! it really is so insane and hurtful the way that plus sized people are an afterthought at best and villainized at worst. you aren’t alone in this experience!!!!!

[@laffydaffytaffy]

As a larger bodied person I am so sorry you experienced that struggle at reformation - really feels like the rug was pulled out from under you ESPECIALLY with that text. BUT one thing - as much as I hate this moment for you - I so appreciate that you didn't scrap it completely. That feeling you had is so shitty and I'm so sorry but I SO appreciate your honesty because it makes so many of us feel seen, and not alone or alien/wrong because we have a larger body. Clothes fit our bodies, our bodies don't have to just fit clothes and I love you for your bravery to share your experience! Sending you love, and for all of us lets hope we see some mega change about clothing size availability.

[@jocelynbrannigan]

I’m so glad you left in the Reformation segment. It happens to me far more often than I’d like to admit. I just went to American Eagle and Aerie today because I saw cute clothes in my size online. I was so disappointed and embarrassed to find out that they didn’t carry any plus sizes in store. There were a few XL items but nothing any bigger. Sucks so much having to stick to accessories only to browse in stores.

[@ZombiesEatRaiyne]

This!!! Aerie has really been pissing me off with their quiet move of plus sizing back to online only. And they definitely shrank their sizing, too. I ordered an XL bralette, and I already had the same one in the same size in a different color, and it didn’t fit. Sent it back, got another XL. Nada. Got an XXL, and it barely fits. Something doesn’t add up.

[@PaintWithMeTeresaMarie]

I'm with Drew, Reformation sucks. They're missing out on a lot of business. It's fun seeing you and Drew together. The 2 of you are so darned cute.

[@katieleigh4189]

I felt this. I’m an XL (16) but often don’t fit the “nicer trendy” brands XL. I am someone who prefers to shop in person and I often feel so defeated after shopping around. So many stores claim to be size inclusive but in reality they either have nothing in their brick and mortar or sell a plus size line that looks like crap. It sucks.

[@tinyghoul6598]

I know, and even when the brands do carry plus sizes online they're sold out so fast at times it's all like ugh!!!

[@stephaniem1351]

you and drew should both go to the thrift store and create a Christmas outfit for each other, one for Christmas Day, one for cozy Christmas chill nights etc

[@korrinacrystalmurray4930]

Yes!!!

[@xxashchi]

This would be so cute! ❤

[@tarynmccullough5020]

Definitely want to see you guys attempt another Christmas cocktail recipe and maybe if you could do “what to wear to a holiday party” or just holiday outfit ideas in general

[@MsArtsyMeg]

It would be worthwhile to message back the employee to let her know about your experience so she knows that they in fact do not offer the extended sizes in store

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

I did! They said sorry for the mix up and offered me a 10% off coupon code 😂

You should have shown her the text exchange and asked what’s up with that. Actually that dressing room sounds like a nightmare to me. When I go clothes shopping I want to be left alone. Like, if I need help I will ask. Anyway, they suck. :(

[@ashleys.949]

Saaame, if I want help, I'll ask, until then, leave me alone!

[@francoral]

I thought exactly the same thing. For that exact reason I enter the stores with headphones. I don’t want people talking to me is my ME time. I don’t want to have to socialize or have to explain why I am not buying that piece, how the fit was, etc.

Toast is fully a food group and I’ll live by that

Been stuck in my room with Covid for I don’t even know how long and my moms been bringing me PB (and sometimes banana) toast every morning.. not to be dramatic but that simple breakfast has made such a huge improvement in my daily relationship with food. Toast4Life 🍞

[@adron7950]

It's complete bs when retailers claim they can't sell enough plus size clothes to justify stocking them. They sell out first! What's always left in the clearance? S and xs sizes! L and up always sells out.

[@joymathwig9000]

This makes me sad. It sucks because your videos gave me hope that things were changing! Like this kind of thing would have happened back in say, 2004, and no one would have batted an eye. But it’s 2022 people!!!! Almost 2023! Can we get some progress??!!!

[@amandawalsh8019]

Honestly, you should send a strongly worded email. I think if people shared their thoughts and experiences with these companies and brought more light to the sizing issues in store, then it’s more likely that something will change!

[@meganpaliwoda]

I'm generally a size L and honestly my experience with Reformation has been off putting. I don't even want to order their things online because it often is too small/fits weird and it's SO expensive to go through all of that. Anyway, I'm sorry you had that experience! Thank you for sharing!

[@keeleyhart4955]

Thanks for your honesty & authenticity 🤍

[@CarrieDaytonVlogs]

Thank YOU for the support 🥹💘

[@cristinadiaz984]

I’m not plus sized, but I am a TALL WOMAN and it infuriates me that I literally can’t walk into ANY store and have clothes fit my long legs or shirts fit my long arms. Like, why do they carry “regular” in everything, yet I have to order online for anything to not be super high rise/mid calf on me or dresses to not be right at my Buttcheeks or shirts not be at my mid forearm?? I’m sorry you had to experience this and I feel for you so much because I have very very similar experiences and it’s so FRUSTRATING and embarrassing for things to never fit!

[@lexiebarry3527]

Maybe try wreath making or christmas porch pot arrangements for vlogmas! That would be very unique and fun!! Enjoy your break ❤ so excited for vlogmas!!

I think it would be fun to do a family christmas/holiday photoshoot with you and drew and moo and layla!!!

[@Camiiillah]

Vlogmas suggestions: Decorating the whole apartment, trying Christmas candy/food, baking and decorating cookies, opening two different beauty advent calendars every day.

[@mel199]

So sorry the fitting room experience turned out like that, I had a similar experience last week and honeslty it never gets any less embarrassing/frustrating :( I have tried multiple shampoos from Kerastase as well and both me and my mom swear by it. Both our hair got screwed up by a hairdresser and we nurtured it back to life with different lines. Now that it's back to decent health I switch it up with cheaper shampoo and just use it once a week.

[@jillisenberg9704]

For Vlogmas, I would love a video where you talk about your favorite things that might make good gift ideas - books, candles, beauty products, pet care items, etc. I find these videos super helpful for gift inspiration. Also, a your of Christmas decorations in LA. I would love to see Christmas in a warm place!

[@rebeccatrimnell3050]

Loved when you guys did the gingerbread houses while drinking 😆

[@sharakate]

Vlogmas ideas! I think a gifts guide (like what you’re buying for Drew and what you want) a Christmas Disney date, maybe more baking. Decorating! Uh. Let’s see…some kind of Christmas activity? Ice skating or a Christmas fair. Your favorite Christmas movies ranked. That’s all I have for now. Lol

[@natatatt]

Thank you for doing a shortened vlogmas! I find 12 days of vlogmas to be way more enjoyable than 24/25 days. With 24/25 videos, at that point it's wayyyy to much content for me to keep up with, and it's exhausting for the creator to do anyways.

[@kennedyadkins4173]

for vlogmas i would love to see more book content! my favorite part of your vlogs are your reading updates so i would love to hear my in depth thoughts about books you've read/are reading. maybe your favorites of the year? something like that? 💗

[@sendinglovetotheuniverse]

I'm so sorry for your experience at Reformation. As a plus sized woman who was also a chubby kid I've had so many of those experiences and can relate big time. Thank you for sharing!!

[@gabiIglesias1]

I love drew!!! He is so supportive! Also try act and acre shampoo it’s awesome!

[@rosekaela]

That purple shampoo is actually the best I've ever used! You only need a little bit, it's really concentrated. But it's just the right amount of purple to where it doesn't overtone your hair. Just make sure you rinse it really well! 🥰

[@carolinebell7881]

Just a silly goofy mood lol I always dread the pre and post Vlogmas break bc I know I am needy but looking forward to your return!! Enjoy your well deserved break 😊 I think it’d be really fun to see a video of you all going to the Asian grocery store/international market! You all know about the best snacks Also, this is the first year of my life I’ve invested in quality non drugstore shampoo (Living proof) and it really is worth it! If you like their dry shampoo I’d really recommend their perfect hair day stuff, it’s great for the girlies with fine straight hair like us!

[@clairechocolate12]

Also: I‘m looking forward to your vlogmas, no matter how often you post. Not quite sure if you have done this in the past but I personally love to (kind of creepily) walk/drive around my neighbourhood and look at all their Christmas decoration/lights/ideas. Maybe you could do sth similar and ofc not film it directly but share your favourite/ugliest/funniest finds? 😅

I am so glad you are sharing this! I worked in the bridal industry and I have had my bosses tell me to lie to brides and say anything to get them come in even if we don’t have anything in their size or style… it’s sucks! As a plus size women myself it’s hard to know I don’t have their size but I’m forced to tell them I do to get the attention to our store. I think that is what that message was about to say yes to you to come in. It’s not right! Thank you Carrie for your experience! The world has grown yes but not enough!

[@debbiekeefer476]

[@44amanda]

Vlogmas ideas, definitely a decorating video/ setting up the tree and such. A video of outfits to wear to holiday parties from your closet. Maybe some holiday thrifting either for home decor or holiday outfits. Honestly anything you make I’ll watch!

[@k213389]

The other annoying thing about Ref clothes is that they run small OR are wildly inconsistent. So in addition to not offering extended sizes, you never really know how things are going to fit. One time, rather memorably, I had five different items of clothing in the fitting room and all five of them were different sizes, I literally had a 2, 4, 8, M, and L while the M and the 8 are technically close in size it just floored me that the size grading varied SO widely from one style to the next. How was I, at the time about a size 4/6/Small, fitting into things marked 2 AND 8. It is insane to me that they won't offer a more robust extended size range.

[@livia3429]

I totally feel you when it comes to size availability!!

[@kelsoanngames]

I’m so sorry about your fitting room experience. As some one who has always been on the plus size range, it took me ages to ever feel comfortable shopping with anyone other than myself. Even if stores stocked plus size items, they are in a different section. Usually uglier, and more expensive. Luckily that is changing a little but fitting room trauma is real.

[@karkarboo]

Definitely Christmas movie reviews! I love hearing what you and Drew think about movies/shows. I'd also love to see how you decorate this year!

[@feliciafugere]

Im so sorry you experienced this just know your feelings are valid also I could understand how you would feel after them telling you they have those sizes then dont. I think its good that you spoke up about this online though to inform others❤

[@mandibarrett9401]

Can I just tell you that I totally agree about the haircare. I buy expensive stuff and it looks like trash, I use plain old herbal essences and it looks gorgeous!

[@ngm12mnn]

I worked for Madewell for years, and I asked this question on behalf of our plus size customers all the time and never got an answer that made any sense to me. We at one point had plus sizes in “samples” in store to be tried on but then ordered separately for at home delivery. It always felt so strange to me and I still don’t understand it.

[@cassandrawoodson1]

I think a neat vlogmas video could be you volunteering for the holidays and documenting that experience.

[@smazz1106]

You just gave me courage to write to my local Target at Bishops Corner, West Hartford, CT . They don’t carry any plus size women’s clothing. I asked associate to be certain. I lost 50 lb on WW this last 16 months and I’m now wearing XL and sometimes still 1X. Never again shopping in Target even once I reach my goal weight. Marshall’s in same building will get my business. Told all my friends on Facebook too! Thank you

[@reneeknook6591]

Ugh, I think my store size range thoughts out loud more now, I mostly wear XL but in some stores that’s already a big ask apparently. But my smaller sized friends are seeing it now too, and it’s so nice to see them caring about it and getting kinda mad over it 🧡. It’s really cool to know I’m not annoyed about it alone 😊 And omg rating sappy Christmas movies would be the best vlog idea!! 🎄📺

I just had a similar experience at Calvin Kline. I can get one of their suits in my size from Dillards, but not from their own website. I went into a store to verify this and made the clerk look at her own size chart and tell me she didn't carry anything in my size and then I went and spent my money elsewhere.
