Sorry for the double post, but she needs to put Testing Basics to bed. Tank tops? Really? Scraping the bottom of the barrel, Liz.
yep, I was also surprised bc I think most of the basic have been done (and probably by people who are more trustworthy), I'd be interested in her testing some new patterns/cuts/more extravagant clothes, she could use all those collaborations too
And who wants a video on brogues so close to spring/summer?
Ha, that I can understand as I wear brogues even during summer/spring when it's no exactly tropical as they provide me nice ankle support (does it makes sense?) + the decent ones are on the more pricey side but you have no guarantee of their quality and fit, so, I'd definitely watch a video on that. Then I remember Lizzy wouldn't probably go as deep into her analysis and would snap a picture saying "yeh, they're alright" and move onto the next sponsored pair.
Yeah, I wear brogues year round too, but also we’re still working from home sooo. My fave pair have been in their dust bags and box for over a year!Ha, that I can understand as I wear brogues even during summer/spring when it's no exactly tropical as they provide me nice ankle support (does it makes sense?) + the decent ones are on the more pricey side but you have no guarantee of their quality and fit, so, I'd definitely watch a video on that. Then I remember Lizzy wouldn't probably go as deep into her analysis and would snap a picture saying "yeh, they're alright" and move onto the next sponsored pair.
The problem with Testing Basics is that now that Lizzy has adopted this androgynous, BB clone aesthetic, her stylistic range is too narrow and outside the norm (and often wildly outside most peoples' price range) to be useful. Take blazers for example. We know she's not going to bother with a classic longline tweed or chic-yet-office-appropriate blazer. No, Lizzy is going to choose the most oversized, ill-fitting, $$$$ blazer with ridiculous shoulder pads from The Frankie Shop that pretty much nobody but other influencers would realistically wear. On the other end of the spectrum, you have "Long-sleeved t-shirts" and "tank tops" which are just way too general. She might as well ask if we want to see a Testing Basics on "shoes". Plus, I just can't condone her buying five more of the same item, when she has more than enough basic clothes to last her the rest of her life. Her rankings and exclamations that she'll wear something "so, so much" ring hollow when you remember that she has 10 other similar pieces languishing in her closet, waiting to see the light of day.
An idea for a Testing basics she is qualified to do: Summer cocktails for the garden.
Or how to turn your cat into a supermodel. I'd appreciate that as my fury idiot REFUSES to strike a pose.

Lindsey is now renting her clothes out... no thanks my love.
what does that even mean? like you can prance around in her jeans or
Does she? That seems very unhygienic, especially during the pandemic.
Here is a ss from her insta story. Its branded as a sustainable choice but clearly just a pathetic way for influencers to make more money

Maybe she can do a testing basic of bikinis..
lol, I feel like they've crawled too far into their own arses. This kind of service makes sense when it comes too more expensive/extravagant pieces (doesn't net-a-porter or the likes offer the same?) But who on earth would rent a basic black skirt. Come on now.
Tell me your are a twit without telling me you're a twit - wear a jumper on my shoulders
I’m all about the sustainable option, but this is a far reach. They’re using their clout and built-in following to make more money (for themselves and the brand). Hurr is the UK Rent the Runway, but I don’t know anyone who would rent such basic stuff from an influencer if given the choice. The draw of RTR is mostly needing something special for an event that you don’t want to buy yourself (i.e., wedding guest dress, vacation) or you’re bored of your work wardrobe so want to shake it up and buy the membership to inject some fun, maybe pricey, pieces. And we always go back to the fact that she’s now going to continue to profit off of something she got for free in the first place.
...similar add from Lizzy incoming...
Lizzy had better be careful. Somewhere, her doppelgänger is salivating.
