Rant: Fashion Nova is the Worst

hey everybody so today's haul is a little bit chaotic because my apartment flooded if you didn't know or don't follow me on instagram and everything is everywhere and I have to just make this work with an old camera and like not the ideal setup and if you look at my dresser over there you can see it's all water damaged it's yeah it's it's a stressful time my entire kit this huge amazing kit I just invested in completely destroyed so I'm using an old camera gonna make it work you know what when life gives you lemon yo buddy it's a day I have a weird haul let me start off by saying that I have had negative feeling towards this brand for a very long time I think they're terrible I don't think they're terrible because I've ever tried them in fact I've never tried them I just don't like the way they advertise period the brand we are looking at today is fashion Nova so I will say I was predisposition to not like them let me tell you about my shopping experience with fashion Nova if you did not know what have fashion Nova pays a bunch of girls to wear their clothes they inundate you with these like coupon codes like XX au Madison for 30% of your order and then there's like pictures of them in their clothes and I hate discount codes like that I know save some money that's great but I hate when it's shoved in your face all the time it's like everybody can get 30% off all the time you don't need to use Madison's code it's just a ploy so I was like ok all of you have asked me to do a fashion Nova haul I will do a fashion Nova haul and I will give an honest opinion and my friend was like they're gonna prove you wrong Annie you're gonna end up liking some of their stuff and blah blah blah blah well I wish that to be the case because right now I would like something to redeem the experience I've had so far IATA fashion Nova in mid-december and I ordered about 12 items because I wanted to do a comprehensive haul they're not very expensive they had a big sale going on everything was 40% off so an additional 10% than what it normally is so I said okay I'm gonna try across the spectrum here I'm gonna go buckwild I'm gonna get me some things and then that way I can give you guys an honest review they didn't give me the items I picked them out myself that was a normal consumer I go to checkout and it's a shipping free two-day shipping and I'm like awesome I don't have to pay what I usually pay to get clothing in earlier because I keep a schedule of when I'm gonna film things which you have to do as a logger so I scheduled this for the first week of January thinking there is no way something I ordered for two-day shipping is gonna take two weeks to get to me it'll be fine I factored in all the holiday stuff because I've given them more than Apple time if they're shipping two days see but fashion Nova doesn't ship really two-day shipping it's whatever it takes to process your order then it takes two days to get to you or so they say cuz that's not even factually accurate either so I'm like waiting for my order I come home it's not there and so then I start checking on it and I look that the order is still processing then I get this a random gift card and now I start watching videos on YouTube to try to understand why I've gotten a random gift card because no one from Bosch and Nova actually sent me an email it literally said in the email this will be explained later and I literally was like oh did I magically get a gift card because they know I'm awesome no I had a gift card because supposedly the items I ordered were out of stock so I'm that person who's like were they really out of stock so I went on the website and lo and behold the items I had ordered that we're supposedly out of stock were actually in stock now it's three days later still don't have a package I just have a random email and a gift certificate they don't even want because they don't intend to shop at them again I have another email that says whoops we opened another warehouse because we don't know how to manage our inventory and the reason we didn't shipping your items is because we don't know how to figure it out so if you want me to adapt because you don't have your [ __ ] together as a company now I get it startups are hard people make mistakes but a good company apologizes for their mistakes takes accountability for their mistakes and says you know what kid we screwed up and here's how we're gonna reward you instead fashion Noah gave me a gift card right so I have this gift card I said okay whatever Melilla noid at this point and little much more like you should know better hire some people that know how to run inventory but whatever then go to the website and I go to buy the items and they cost more than the gift card I'm like what the hell like shouldn't they shouldn't I get the same price that I paid for them originally I get another email fifteen on this like stupid order and I'm like yeah we're not gonna give you the discount that you originally paid for the items even though we screw up and couldn't find them in a warehouse that we just opened you were going to have to pay the new pop cost of those items so you screw up you forced me to have a gift card so even when I say you know I really still want those items you are going to make me pay more for them it just makes so angry and they talked to my friend and she's like listen this is how fashion over works such a [ __ ] show everybody knows it's a [ __ ] show they're our new company they're figuring it out and this Dickman because this is how fashion oh it gets us they say things like we're a new company we're just figuring out but you can pay celebrities thousands of dollars to wear your clothing you can also pay someone who runs operations for a warehouse a good salary so that they do an efficient job so you can deliver your products to your consumers at the right time like you have obviously the money to invest in the right employees to run your company more efficiently and you aren't choosing instead to pay people who put xoxo Madison at the bottom of their posts instead of the employees that could make your work customer service and your shopping experience better shenanigans so frustrated about it so now it is a month later and I finally get my damn package from fashion Nova must I also say that I received it with shipping on the 1st of January and I ended up receiving it on the 10th of January which means two-day shipping my but that is solid five to six days shipping you didn't put two days shipping on that at all in fact I tracked it cuz I'm crazy now because I'm secretly super annoyed and I wanted to know how this would pan out it's sat in the shipping facilities for four days so even though you process my order you still didn't ship it shenanigans so now now I'm gonna open this bag of clothing I have no clue what the clothing is gonna be like I'm going to give an honest review I'm gonna wipe clean all of my emotions about the shopping experience which is ah not good literally it's like a it's I thought lularoe was bad this is worse at least they're upfront about the fact that they're gonna dick you over this is like you think you're gonna have a great experience and they keep calling you babe they're like what up babe no calling me babe does not negate the fact that you screwed up in fact I hate when girls just like act like we're best friends we're not best friends you're not you just screwed up my order you don't get to call me babe what you get to call me is madam I'm sorry because that's what you should be saying in all of these emails but you're not okay right now where now I'm gonna get into the clothes I swear it was like eight minutes of mmm here's the back not very exciting now I'm in over first item mail so the first item I got from passion Nova is a bandage dress and it's fairly basic it's our red dress made out of almost like ace bandage like material it's really stretchy it's really form-fitting I'm gonna have to say a prayer to get this thing on I think because it looks well I don't know it looks very form-fitting which is very much fashion nervous style you can see it they have a zipper showing up the back whoo and then it's the straight kind of seaming of the bandages and that's a numer low a color so this is I mean this actually has fairly good stretch pretty substantial I don't see any holes I will say this stretch up and down like just to show you the difference do you see the stretch up and down let me show you the same thing with lies hardly any so I don't know if this will actually fit me maybe guys I don't know why people would willingly wear this dress and literally have my thighs like sandwich together and have to walk like this and it's just that comfortable like I don't know this is like torture in the form of fashion I'm not into it it's not great the next item we have all of these are in a 3x by the way oh why you just let me open you okay this was one of the items I was actually really excited about cuz I thought it was really interesting and cool it's this sweater with the neck as I learned today the internet hates when I wear to relax whatever has a mesh arm here ruffles in the end I'll tell you it looked cooler on site it looks a little weird in the package I don't know if I'm going to actually like this I find it weird that this fabric is like a normal material and the ruffle is in a very lightweight kind of neoprene it's a bit weird it could look really awesome on so I'm not slanting it yet it looks very generously sized so I'm pretty sure this is gonna fit me and fit me quite well and yeah I don't have anything else to say other than I'm just shocked that this ruffle material doesn't match the other black solid material used in the rest of the shirt this is okay I don't hate it it's kind of cool I like the sleeves I don't love it if I can return things but you can't return things to fashion oh that probably would return it but since I'm stuck with it I mean I'll find a way to wear it it's just I'm not in love with it I saw this and I was like this is the hilarious item I got so when I was shopping for this stuff I might have had a little bit of wine and there was one item that I saw that I thought was just like holy our guests like just sometimes I like to dress up as fat Shakira the secret that the internet does not know yet and I like to know and I like to be fat Shakira and I saw this top and I could not stop laughing because about Shakira needed it and it is a beaded top and then it just has fringe they keeps going like literally all the way down to your ankles like not underneath that much clothes because this is some rhinestone on it's actually sequins and beads I thought it was rhinestones it is better me than I thought it would be but totally pointless I do not need this in my work I don't even know what was I thinking whoa am i ringing but it's hilarious it's freaking hilarious and you know maybe vaginal exists for me to buy stuff like this when I'm drunk freaking this is I can't even whoever thought I would buy something like this actually I knew I would buy Lula's I buy weird stuff online all the time well this is the thousand times worse than I thought it was gonna be the cups are just just not big enough for a Plus girl they also have no support and this is elastic so they are like barely holding up my baby Tatas so if you've anything bigger than like a B C dirt they're gone your boobs are free they're just going wherever they want this fringe gets stuck everywhere and they had to trying to pee in this top putting on jeans in this tack was hard I vote no so of the items I purchased a fashion oh this is probably the item that I was hoping would work the most just because I love the color it's this rich green and it's a jumpsuit made of velvet and if you don't know about my fellow decesion then let's just have a little catch-up here mama loves velvet all the way down it's a one-piece so it's like a onesie it's buttons or snaps buttons down the front might be a little hard to get on and off but this was something I really wanted now I'm looking at it and size-wise it actually looks like it will fit me and quality wise it doesn't feel I wanted this stuff to feel it's threadbare and terrible so that I could hate it but as I'm opening things up I'm actually kind of liking the pieces which is really emotionally conflicting for me because I feel like I was tortured through to see the items but this item is actually really cute and super fun and I would wear it assuming it fits me correctly I don't know if any of the stuff will fit me I have read a lot that the sizing is very inconsistent from fashion oversell I would not be surprised if half this stuff fits me and half of it doesn't we of course will find out in the trial portion of these videos so you can see two left of my big butt Fitness stuff I actually got it like this it's very comfortable and I think it looks okay it's a little bit tighter on the thighs I'm you than it is on the model but the tops pretty similar but it's very soft I do actually like this piece so might be like one of the only pieces from the haul I actually like this was the second thing I was most excited about in this haul because I felt it looked bangerang and bangerang is when you just have a dress that is the hottest gust in the world when this was literally one of the hottest dresses I've ever seen so it is a plum color it's a bandage style dress with like all kinds of corset details you see that and I'm checking it here and it has tons of stretch so I think this is totally gonna fit me it looks big enough to fit me it has a super exaggerated but line which is whoa hello I have a super exaggerated but / hips has a front I mean a back zipper here and the front is all made of like elastic wrapping into these cool patterns up and down like this is this is the sexiest dress in the world now it is questionable whether I'll fit in it but it is so fantastical I really want this to work for me again I want to hate you but this actually looks nicer than I thought it would be and now I am mentally complected oh my god Barbies are made out of oh it's like a war to put on these bandage dresses I can't I give up yep tear gas give it up done but it feels so stretchy here why is it so stretchy here I have a lot of feelings right now and I don't know how to direct them so I wanted to try some pants from fashion Nova because they think as a bigger girl a lot of times those are the things that don't fit me so I wanted to see like is there 3x really a true 3 accent pants are usually a good way to tell that so looking at the pants I am really concerned these are not gonna fit this is a really small waist now it does stretch but that's like saying a prayer for these to fit we'll see Oh bother I don't know how to say that prayer but whatever the prayer you say for pants to fit you but didn't somebody say that for me it has a really awesome wide leg which I'm really starting to dig these like wide leg pants and some nice finishings here on the front again constructed nicer than I wanted to may not actually be a true 3x this does definitely look more towards a to accent size and I've cited my friend who is normally like an 18 20 and she buys a lot of stuff in size the reacts of fashion OVA so we'll see I can't even get these pants all the way on cuz they're just so tiny so I got the MOCA Spartacus I could I also feel like the Rises on the butt is really low in short fashion OVA terrible synopsis you keep watching the video but I'm probably just gonna say variations that for everything else you watch I want these to fit really bad but they probably won't so just like the other pants again another pair of pants these are a wide leg super bell-bottom do you see how super Bella on there with his really awesome striping down at the front and then partially on the inside here the construction at the bottom is not perfect these are a little bit off and I can tell a little bit more because they're striping and stuff there but not terrible for the price point because fashion dolma cheap super cheap but I love what the color and I really just want these a fit these actually look bigger than the other ones so these might actually work for me but we'll see there's also a lot of stretch so we'll just give it a go we'll give it a go so I hadn't had a super long shirt which actually doesn't even cover it because these give me a terrible camel toe and I can't even wear that because the zipper does fit them up in the back which who put zippers in the back if they're the freaking devil I can't give up on my own and it's probably did this stuck on my giant butt these fit terrible I am uploading this brand at this point nothing is working right I am pissed because I can't even get my money back I can't even get my mind back I just get another damn gift card for stuff I don't want so this I bought because I always want to be on the bodice let's see so onesie seriously of course this is the stuff defense cuz you know I'm gonna be styling it up and this on the streets this is the stuff they actually cut to fit a big girl I can't this haul is terrible but I'm actually kind of happy that was kind of hot I kind of like it in a weird way anyway don't touch what was I buy it it's a onesie with like some chevron detail here at the top a straight down the leg and yeah this is fantastic I'm a pretty into this is even has a hood so when I decide to bobsled I could pull it up so my hair doesn't add so you'd be there's a hood so I can pull out in case I ever decide to you a bobsled my hair will not add resistance it is a lot thinner than it looked in the website the website made it look like it was such a material this is definitely like just cotton stretch jersey or polyester stretch Jersey soft stretch Jersey that's it it is very soft so I feel like this if it fits will be a very comfortable vehicle clothed comfortable piece of clothing to just rock around the house but it is pretty ridiculous and I don't know where I would wear this okay first and foremost Aragon sans makeup it's I got a little skin irritation and I can't put makeup on so deal with this anyway final thoughts on fashion Nova well it is a rollercoaster of emotion ins opening and trying on stuff from them the shipping process is terrible which I already talked about a ton but then when you get the items you never know if it's gonna fit it's like a lottery like there were things that I was certain would fit me and then it was like no way and then there were things that I was like that's probably not gonna fit me okay this the did I just feel like they're sizing is a hundred percent out of whack and honestly I will never order from them again do I think they have cool styles yes do I think they know how to cut four plus bodies no do I think they use the fit model probably not do I think that there's a high likelihood of you spending a lot of money and never getting something you like yes I feel like here if you are gonna shop from them what I would say is just make sure that it's stretchy and slightly oversized because they're sizing seems to run about a size down from what you expect it to be so I already the 3x I even ordered in the tops I'm typically a two in tops now and those fit need just fine the tops the bottoms were definitely really tight or just not cut correctly there tends to be a really tiny waist on all the dresses which is great if you have a tiny waist like I do but when caveat is getting that tiny waist to the right position means you have to go over wider parts of your body and they like did not factor that in into where they put the zippers on the dresses and design so it's it's just it's very um it's a struggle it's hard so my overall feelings towards them as I did not have fun I did not enjoy this hall in fact normally I wouldn't film with the skin irritation but I was so annoyed and just wanted to get this out because I did not have fun yeah this is the reality this was not fun it was the worst on top of that construction quality the quality of the fabrics is is what you would expect in line with like boohoo forever 21 like that price point some of the stitching is off like this for example you can see it's not perfect and the bra tops are not support of it at all as we saw but in general I just I don't have any more fuzzies for them buyer beware and if you see all of those girls promoting it especially girls my size know how many items they probably had to go to before they found something that fit and look really good on them because I'm pretty good at making a judgement call of what's gonna fit my body and I was totally off with them so these girls are either getting help from the brand themselves which probably could be the case the brand's telling them what tends to run larger or smaller or they've purchased a lot of things or been gifted a lot of things and only I've worked a lot of these items are not sized correctly so those are my final thoughts with that thank you so much for watching I am NOT putting links to these items in the description below because I hate this brand and I don't want to give them any business facts I am going to put one thing down in the bull blow I have a gift card that I cannot get rid of because I refuse to spend any more time or money on the site so I put the code down there and the first one of you to snag it gets it I think it's like $32 you can buy yourself a shirt maybe a fancy pair of pants that won't fit whatever you would like whoever grabs it on the details first gets it be nice to the others and just say that you've claimed it so that I also know I can wipe it out so people aren't like constantly trying to use the same gift card and with that guys I will check you later have an amazing day I love you all and loose
