I Went To Arizona With No Clothes • Ladylike

- When standard-sized people go shopping for

clothes

at the mall, they have a ton of options. But I'm not standard. So when I go shopping for

clothes

at the mall, my options look a little more like this. Luckily, since I'm a plus size smaller, if I plan well in advance, I can shop online. But what if you didn't have time to plan? What if I go on a trip to an amazing, fabulous place and accidentally lose my suitcase? No! So I wanted to see how resourceful I can be. And I'm traveling to a cool city I've never shopped in before and I'm not bringing any clothes.

But I'm bringing Jen because she's fun. (upbeat dance music) - Alright, you're going to Phoenix. - I'm going to Phoenix. I feel like the point of going to a different city is to get a store that you can't find anywhere else. Which means I don't want to go to a chain store. - Because what's the point. - Yes, because otherwise I can stay here. We want this to be a challenge. I searched for “clothing stores in Phoenix.” There are 17 pages of options. When I search for "Phoenix plus size clothing," I get three pages and there is nothing on page three. (laughs) - How many of them were not chain stores? - Two. - Hmm. - I hope one of those two stores says yes to letting us film. - I really hope they say yes because otherwise we don't have a video. - If you see more time added to the end of this, that means we successfully found a store that said yes.

Why do I always do these sessions with these early flights? I would say it's time to pack my bags, but I don't have to. I'm going to Phoenix. This is the suit I'm going in with. And look at a suitcase. This is so empty it almost looks suspicious. Good day. - Do I look like a tourist? - I like your dress. - Thank you, it's the only outfit I brought. - That's how it is. - But did you bring underwear? - Oh yeah. - Because my thing with underwear is that I hate wearing other people's underwear.

I want a clean cloth on my vulva. Kristin, is your backpack empty too? - No. - I was thinking, could you bring me my tampies? - I can take your tampies. - Okay, thank you, I'm going to put the sanitary pads in my anus. Sorry, that's just slang for backpack. Very sorry. (modern electronic music) - Getting ready for our impromptu vacation. - I am very excited. I have wanted to burn my feet for a long time. - You're done? We are in Phoenix. I think I mean 150 degrees. Here it is about the same temperature as a preheated oven.

The irony is that I haven't packed any clothes and those might be the right clothes for this destination. Oh. - It's hot. - Technically we're not even outside. We are under a bridge. You can tell my lipstick is all smudged. You can also tell that one of my eyebrows is less filled in than the other. I don't like this camera. This camera is too real. This is what is at stake, just to make this clear. People think, oh, you're in a town, you don't have clothes, you're just going to buy clothes. But the problem when you're plus size is that there just aren't many places you can go to buy clothes. 67% of all women in the United States are size 14 or larger.

But only 18% of the market serves them. It's (beep). But what that means is that if I want to create a cool outfit for an event, I can't just go to the store and say, I have a ton of outfit ideas here. I'm going to create two sets. One for a day activity, which will consist of cocktails and food by the pool. Then, I have to come up with an outfit for an evening activity, which will be a really cool tasting menu at a restaurant called Kai. - Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho! - I'm like 18, 20. If you're above my size, it's even more difficult.

Maybe I can make it. But if you're a few sizes bigger than me, good luck. Even if there are things available, we don't necessarily want a baggy t-shirt that says like, on top or like, je t'aime Paris. There's a good chance I won't find any clothes, Jen. I mean, I could be wearing the same thing for three days. - Mmm, sounds like third year of university. - I know, I could sell these clothes on eBay later to very questionable buyers. They were here. Well, this looks really cool. Although I love it when the big fans are in charge.

Lets you know it's too hot when fans are in as permanent landscaping fixtures. (elegant electronic music) - Just do something with your hands that says: we are here. (everyone laughs) - We're on our way to Rocket A Go Go in Tempe. Rocket A Go Go is a great local store. They focus a bit on vintage and also vintage-inspired clothing. - You love vintage. - We will meet with Nicole Simone, an incredible Instagrammer and blogger. Let's talk to her a little about Phoenix fashion. Phoenix done! - Phoenix done! - A phoenix is ​​a bird. (Kristin squawking) Honestly, I'm a little nervous.

I'm not just saying this because of this video. I really don't know if we're going to find anything. I can't just take six pairs of underwear and tape them over various parts of my body and call it an outfit. At least not yet, I'm not that famous. (swing inspired rockabilly music) Hi Nicole. - Hello. - Most of your purchases are made online, right? - Correct. - Let's say you're invited to something for which you need an outfit and it's like in eight hours, what do you do? - I hope I already have something in my closet (laughs) that looks good. -Can you tell me a little bit about what kind of interesting trends you see in Phoenix fashion that are a little special to this area? - First of all, we always use sunscreen. - Well. (laughs) - But I do see a lot of fun prints and a lot of color. - I hope we can find some things for me somewhere in this store.

Hello. - Hello. - I am very excited to be here at Rocket A Go Go. - We are excited to have you. My name is Stormy. - I'm Roxana. - When I was putting this project together I was trying to find a store that sold cool clothing for plus size women in the store. This is the store. - Rocket A Go Go is primarily a trade-in purchase. We also have many new items. We have over 30 local artists here. We carry sizes small to 4XL. Men women. We saw it as a necessity and in addition to being plus size clothing, something fun, not what everyone wears but that is still very fashionable. - In fact, I was 2X, 3X most of my life.

So I know how difficult it is to find especially interesting things. - And who doesn't love shopping? - We are going to go shopping. - Well. - Awesome. (upbeat flute pop music) - How cute. - Summer in Arizona. - I don't have to worry about shopping. My cherries are here. It's a silly thing for a joke. Well then. (Laughs) Alright, let's put the winners on this cover here. - Sounds good. - Okay, let's do it. This is another one with flamingos. Did you know? I'm going to do this too. I don't give a damn. Honestly, I'm not used to it not being the largest size in the store.

It's usually like, well, here's the biggest one and if you squeeze... - Good luck. - Good luck for you. So we have like six dresses. - I think it's a good start. - If I can find something that isn't necessarily dresses, I wouldn't say no. Here's a swimsuit. Should I even dare to find out if it's a used swimsuit? - Please do it. - Oh my God, there's another swimsuit. There are two. - It's your lucky day. - It is my lucky day. I expected to have to go somewhere else to get a swimsuit, I didn't think I would get one at the resale store. - These are magical unicorn pieces that arrived four hours ago today.

They are new, one has the price tag scanned, both have panty liners, otherwise they wouldn't be on my shelf. - To be clear, we did not plan this. I actually had no intention of getting a swimsuit here. This is a coincidence, so it's my lucky day. When I think about a pool look, it's more like I'm poolside and I have an Instagram. - Okay, then let's be extra. - Look at this little tote bag. Aww, am I nautical now? To be extra, what necklaces do you think I should try? - The bigger the better, more colors, lots of shine.

The one above, for sure. - I like that my style also ends with my dinner. This necklace is a scorpion in a heart. - They probably realized yesterday. - Fresh from the scorpion farm. - Fresh off the sidewalk. - I know they seem like they might be a little extra for the pool, but what if I wear them to the pool? - I mean... (laughs) - I didn't expect to be able to buy everything in one store, so once I got a taste of the fact that I could, I feel like I can't let that feeling go.

Because if I do everything in a store I won't have to get up tomorrow morning. - Oh perfect. - I know. You know when you're shopping and you feel like you've swam a little out to sea and you're not sure you can make it back to shore? - Well, we're getting close to that point. - Okay, here we are in open water. - Obviously I need sunglasses, at least during the day. - I think they would be fun. - Oh hello. In fact, I don't think I have a pair of red cat eyes. I love rhinestones, they are my favorite type of rhinestone and stone.

Oh (bleep), these are adorable. Yes, I got Jen's seal of approval. Is it time to try things on? This is the scary part. - Or the fun part. - We were there probably five hours. And there were things that I thought would be the size I wanted and it turns out the size I bought was actually two sizes too small, so that's the game of chance you get into when you're a plus size person and I'm trying to buy clothes that day. Oh, I like the hem, I like the color, and the print is so fun.

I think it's a little tight around the boobs. My chest is like wanting to burst with its treasure. - It is a unique color for you. (laughs) - It's a very maternal compliment, it's an interesting choice. - That is pretty. - Actually? - Yes. - I love fake buttons, because all they have to do is sit there and look pretty. What do we think? - This is pretty. - I like it. - It's funny, like we're getting very nautical considering I think we're in a landlocked state right now. I really like this color, I'm very much a Laura Ashley person. - That is very delicate and it is a good day. - First initial thoughts?

I love the print, I love the cut, the tits, you could probably drive a couple trucks in here. - Okay, I wouldn't want any malfunctions by the pool. - Well, I mean... - Or maybe yes. - I don't know. Maybe for money. - It is an adults-only pool. - It is an adults-only pool. - Well, then all the breakdowns. (Everyone exclaims) Look at that; Yes. - I really like this. - I'm a little hesitant about the small shorts here, but I like how they fit on the other side. - I like it, I think the fit is beautiful, the color is beautiful. - Honestly, I'm surprised I found a swimsuit.

We're really playing with the house money right now. Hello. -How did it go? - I think I could make this my only stop. Thank you very much Nicole for helping me buy. Thank you for opening this wonderful store for us. We'll see how these sets look in their final versions. (50s inspired instrumental) The morning after our big shopping spree at Rocket A Go Go, this morning it occurred to me that I don't actually have a cover up, so let's run to the mall and see if I can find one . I don't know if that's possible. I mean, I saw a lot of cover-ups online when I was looking around, but who really knows if they're my size, so this is a bit of a gamble.

And it's time for me to get ready to go to our first activity. I want to look in the mirror and look like I'm looking at a dating profile that I'm definitely going to slide into. That's the goal. (uptempo electronic piano music) - Kristin, are you ready? (Crew oohs and aahs) - Oh my god. - I love it! - You are a nautical goddess. - Oh, really, sorry friends, she is married to the sea. - The color combination too, the gold of the necklace matches the shoes and the blue of the necklace matches the swimsuit. - Yesterday at this time I didn't have any of this. - You look great, friend. - Thank you.

Are you ready to head to the cabana and start our fun day drinking by the pool? - Yeah come on. - Oops, heels on the grass. - Do you need an arm? - Yeah. (futuristic techno pop) (record scraping) I'm out of drinks, I'm so lost without drinks, I need more drinks in my little plastic cup. In fact, I could jump in the pool. - I think you should; But don't run on the deck. - Okay mom. (trendy electronic pop) (crew laughs) - That's great. - Next, we're going to get cleaned up and then we're going to get ready and I'm going to put on the second look for our fun tasting menu tonight at dinner.

It's a great set, bye. (upbeat and dynamic pop music) - I'm ready, get out of here. (Crew ooh) You are an elegant lady. - I obviously opted for the hair flower. I couldn't resist this adorable little tote bag because I'm totally doing a mermaid thing. Then I have the Betsey Johnson shoes that were incredibly cheap because they were used. This little mermaid necklace matches the dress. I think it actually turned out really nice because I bought everything at the resale store. (sensual, dynamic jazz music) Tonight, we're here at Kai at the Sheridan Grand in Wild Horse Pass.

Thisrestaurant is the only Forbes 5 star and Triple A 5 diamond restaurant in all of Arizona. - Wow, Jesus, Arizona. - And we're here tonight to make an amazing tasting menu. - You know we love tastings. - We love tastings. Aren't you glad you came? - I'm very happy. - All you had to do was hold the sound material. - What's happening? - Are you ready to eat something? - I'm very ready to eat something next to my best friend. - Oh my God, it's me. (sophisticated jazz music) Oh yeah, that's great. That's chewy. - A little bit, yes. - Yes. (Crew laughing) - Yes, this one is chewy too. - To cleanse your palates before the main course arrives, this is going to be a blood orange and cinnamon sorbet. - Oh, I have it in one scoop. - This is also like the Princess Diaries.

It is very cold? Are you wishing you had paced yourself? (Mike laughing) - Next dish, snails. It's a big departure from that traditional French preparation. - It's so mushroomy, earthy, delicious and unlike anywhere else I've tried before, not even Paris. (Everyone exclaims) - Well, Paris, Texas, is not known for its cuisine. (Kristin laughs) It never has been. - There is brioche French toast on the bottom. - This is delicious, wow. - It has all the right textures. - I think I understand food, I understand why people like it. Before, on the fence; Now, super depressed. - I've already put it on my face and, uh, spilled it on myself, so we know this is going great.

That? - It's fascinating, I don't want to look away. - I know, right, I still feel like I have to capture this but I also have to capture it with my memories and not necessarily with my social media. But I will also do it with my social networks. - We had a little inside information about a future day that is coming for you. - Oh Lord. - We want today to be very special. (luxurious electronic jazz music) - It's okay, Jen, I'm so full I could die. - Me too. - I probably shouldn't say that. (laughs) - 60 years. - Jen, this has been incredible.

Are you going to have to take me home? (upbeat pop rock music) My suitcase is no longer empty. Now it's very, very full. So we checked out of our hotel. We return to Los Angeles. - The Angels. - Obviously I was very nervous going into this, I was pleasantly surprised that we got basically everything in one store except that cover-up. I think this was definitely a challenge. I think we were lucky; Where should you try your luck next? You should tell me which city I should go to. I am willing to work hard with the little luck I get. (upbeat '60s-inspired rock music) Empty Suitcase premieres new episodes every Sunday at 8 a.m.
