What Not To Wear Question

[norcalchick]

I like this show. I like to watch people go shopping in nyc since i've never been there. i'm also a shopaholic, so i like to watch shopping period.

did anyone see the one where she got to spend $50,000 !!! i was so freaking jealous. she was in christian louboutin and i about died! on the website it tells you what she bought. i think she could have done better shopping though and not have gotten so many trendy coats that cost a lot of money.

I like the British Version better. The American version is about "what's in" while the British Version talks about dressing for your body type.

I would do it.

I tend to look like I'm a freshman in highschool, not the substitute teacher when I go in.

When I dress up, it looks like a little girl in her moms clothes. They fit, but still don't look right.

I would love to get on the show. I'm tired of looking 13ish (and the braces don't help.)

I like the British version better( they are real women with real bodies!), but Stacy, Clinton , Carmindy and Nick do some amazing make-overs. I would gladly ditch my wardrobe to be on the show, but fear I am not fashion challenged enough.

I agree. The Brit version is better, the people look more real. The black girl looks a bit mannish, though, but she dresses her body, not the body she wants. I LOVE our version, though, I get good ideas about what works well for my petite frame. I always get good makeup tips from Carmindy.

I have seen some people act like they were offended at first, but no one was unhappy about the experience at the end of the week - I know I wouldn't be.

There's no way I could do this show - unless it was makeup and hair color (not cut) only. I am far too much of a control freak (surprising, eh?).

I LOVE Clinton! Stacy I can do without. If there is an episode featuring a woman with my body type, I always try to watch it.

I LOVE this show, but I am a total clothes horse. My mom jokes that $5000 wouldn't even make a dent in my wardrobe. (and according to my Visa bill, she's probably right...)

OMG, i'm the total opposite of you! Seriously, I love shopping but I probably by one top every now and then. Its probably more because i'm self-conscious about my body shape, so I don't ever like anything I try on.


I would LOOOOVE to be on this show. I like that now you can nominate yourself, although I don't think i've ever seen someone get picked that way.

I've always wondered that! How can they toss your entire wardrobe and only spend five grand to replace just about every piece of clothing you own? I rarely buy cheap clothes - work slacks, jeans, and shoes alone cost a lot of money! Besides, would you really be wearing kitten heels and a blazer to go grocery shopping? I love the show, but some of the "casual" clothing suggestions are still a little too dressy for me. I would however, love new hair and makeup. Just because I've never gone to my stylist and told her, "do what you want!" I'd be curious to see what they would do for me.

Also, what do they do with the "rejected" clothing? Do you think they throw it way or donate it to places like the Salvation Army?

I space out my big spending so as not to cause complete heart failure, but I'm kinda in the same boat.

$5 k from that show would buy me 10 complete outfits MAX (that's skimping on the shoes) were I to follow my natural tastes and inclinations on clothes.

I love Stacy and Clinton! I would be glad if I were nominated because then I would 5000 dollars worth of new clothes and I would get to meet them!

I have to agree with that one, however I'm a bit too plus sized right now to be picked. I've actually learned a lot about clothing choices from the show. I'd even trust Nick with my hair.

I think that they don't actually get rid of ALL your clothes - just the worst one. For instance, you rarely see them getting rid of jeans or work basics for people unless it's someone wearing mom jeans or tapered pants or something.
