[bunniefuu]

Are you excited? I don't

know what's going on, but, yeah.

Once I'm seen in an outfit,

I don't want to ever wear it again.

Surprise!

What are you doing here?

Oh, my God.

I love it. Is that the look?

CHEERING

Oh, my God.

People forget you don't have to spend

a fortune for great style.

Yep, shop smarter.

I'm Emma Winder, model, stylist and

massive fan of pre-loved fashion.

And this is Second Hand Style-Up.

Today we're going to

meet 24-year-old Ocean,

a law student, single mum of two.

She admits she has

got some bad habits

when it comes to buying clothes.

Ocean thinks she's been invited

to a coffee shop for a casting,

but little does she know

she's actually on the show.

Hi, Ocean. Hello.

Hi, surprise. Hello.

You think you're here for

a casting? Yeah.

But you're actually here

because you've made it

onto Second Hand Style-Up.

Oh, my God! That's amazing.

So your friend Latisha,

she's actually put you up to this

and we're going to go now.

We'll go to the studio

and get you ready.

Oh, my God. Right, OK.

Let me get my things.

Get your stuff. Come on, let's go!

Are you excited? Yeah, I don't know

what's going on, but, yeah!

So what's life like

for you right now?

It's super busy at the moment.

Obviously, I'm a mum of two

and I'm a law student,

so everything's on go mode

all the time.

Super busy.

So given everything that's

going on,

how much time do you actually have

for your own style and fashion?

Not a lot of time, I'll be

honest, at the moment.

I used to spend a lot more time,

but obviously now the

priority is the kids.

I like to make sure they're on trend

and everything's great for them

and they just look super cute

and Insta-worthy.

So I've put myself on the

back burner a bit.

Ocean, can you describe

your own sense of fashion?

I love pink and all my friends say

I'm like a little Barbie doll.

I love anything pink

and glitzy and girlie

and, you know, full face glam.

I don't like to wear anything twice

and that's always my issue because

once I'm seen in an outfit,

I don't want to ever wear it again.

And I'm, like, to my friends,

"Do you want this?

I don't want it now.

"I can't be seen again,

I can't take another photo in it."

She does that a lot.

Sometimes she even buys

and she doesn't wear it at all.

So that's a bonus for me,

to be honest.

I've got a free outfit.

Ocean, what's been getting you down

most about your wardrobe?

I think it's because

I can't update it,

I can't add more clothes,

which is something

I used to love doing

before I was a parent.

And now I'm sort of just looking at

the same old clothes

and it's just, like, "Ugh, boring."

Well, I think we're going to

be able to help you on that.

Do you have any idea

what's happening next?

No, I'm in complete shock.

I don't know what's going on.

You have no idea?

No. Oh, how exciting.

I'm really excited to see

her reaction.

Me and Ocean have been friends

for quite a while.

She is there when you

need her, always.

With as much as she

has on her plate,

she always finds time for,

like, her friends.

She would say she's funny,

but she's got dad jokes.

She's just the best, honestly.

Best friend that I could

have ever asked for.

Surprise!

What are you doing here?

Come on.

Sorry.

So, Ocean, obviously,

you know Latisha. Yes.

This is Emma, our stylist. Hello.

And she's going to help you,

with a whole new wardrobe

and stop you making bad

habits of buying outfits

and wearing them only once.

That's good.

So lovely to meet you, Ocean,

very exciting day.

Are you bit surprised?

Very surprised. Very surprised?

Well, I hope you're more excited,

though, because

before we're going to get started,

I want to show you what's

in this wardrobe right now.

Are you ready to see what's inside?

Super excited. I'm ready.

Come, come and look.

Oh, my God. Yeah.

What is that?

It's my own clothes.

Are you sure it's your own clothes?

I'm very sure.

I should've jumped out of it,

really.

It would've been more of a

surprise, if I jumped out of it.

We've got one surprise coming in,

and then me jumping out

would have been more scary. OK.

With all these clothes,

I'm actually selling online,

and with that money, I've put

together a pre-loved wardrobe

for you. Come with me. OK.

Emma's selling the clothes on Vinted.

In real life, it's impossible

to predict how quickly items sell.

So for the purpose of content,

we sped up the process

and used their estimated value

to buy Ocean's new

pre-loved wardrobe.

Right, ladies, come and follow me.

Now, here we go.

Ocean, meet your new

pre-loved wardrobe.

Feel free to have a little

rummage through, look at it.

Look at the beautiful colours.

I like this.

I knew you said you love pink.

So I, of course,

sourced some lovely pink pieces.

That skirt, gorgeous.

Give us a little twirl.

Put it against you

and give us a little twirl.

There we go, Ocean. Lovely. Pretty.

Latisha, I know, I see you eyeing

some stuff. I love the shoes.

You're not going to take the shoes

from her? Yeah, I love the shoes.

You better put them on.

She sticks to what she knows,

so I feel like she needs to

come out of her comfort zone

to try something new

and then she might find

that she likes that style

and that might be her new style.

Gorgeous, dark red.

Naturally, you might think

with yellow,

you wouldn't really think about it.

But tonal colour coordination,

it goes really well.

I actually managed to source

a pre-loved flared type

because you can wear with the boots,

these will look great.

I like this, it's a nice vintagey,

tweedy pattern,

bit of gold.

We'll get the belt on that.

Wow. Yeah!

Now that is I love it.

..is that the look? Nice. Yeah.

You can actually layer this.

I think it even goes with

the pants, kind of.

That is nice.

Yeah, it's giving Sunday dinner,

giving church and

then Sunday dinner.

Love it. Nice.

What about these now?

I'm going to throw you in

the yellow.

So, this is me leaving church,

and then I'm just going to hit

the club after church,

by the looks of it. So, let's see.

These are quite Ooh!

Perfect fit. All right.

Look at your bum in them.

They look cute. Thank you.

Wow! Yeah! Now, that's it.

Do you love it? That's hot.

They look good on your bum.

They do look good.

Ocean, it is catwalk time.

So pick your favourite outfit

and let's see you shine.

CHEERING

Oh, my God!

Yeah!

What do you think? You look great.

I love it. Super sexy.

That outfit looks stunning on you,

Ocean. Thank you.

How are you feeling? Do you love it?

I absolutely love it. I'm feeling

like Cardi B in New York.

I think it is giving

Cardi B in New York.

Yeah, and it looks amazing on you.

The whole outfit, we nailed that.

Thank you.

And those boots are for life.

They are. Like, they're forever.

Forever.

I had so many different styles

that would probably not

be my usual type of style.

So it was so good to see things that

I probably wouldn't even look at

and to try them on and see

that it really compliments me.

I was just loving it.

I've learned that you can get

some amazing pre-loved items

and it's definitely something

that I'm going to be trying again.

I don't usually do it,

but I'm going to be doing it now.

I might even do it for the kids,

you know? Yeah, absolutely!

I think that's a great idea. I'm

definitely going to start getting

pre-loved items for the kids.

It's not something that I'd thought

about before, but it's definitely

something I'm going to incorporate

into everyday life

because it's just such a good idea.

It's good for the planet, and most

importantly, it's saving money,

which is great - who doesn't

want to do that?

Ocean and Latisha,

we've had a great day.

I hope we've had fun, but we can't

send you home in that outfit

with nowhere to go.

So, there's a table booked

for food and drinks

tonight at your favourite restaurant.

So exciting!

Oh, my God! Thank you. Thanks.

I can't wait. You're welcome.

I literally love everything

and I just can't wait to style them

and put them all together.

And I feel great in this outfit.

I just feel like

..I should be someone's wife.

Do you really think that we've

stopped Ocean with her bad habit?

Absolutely. I think

she looks well pleased.

Honestly, her new

pre-loved wardrobe,

everything on her looks amazing.

I mean, the boots to the top -

amazing.

The boots and that dress looked

amazing. She looked hot.

All those different creative

ways looked fab on her.

So I honestly think

that, after today,

she's definitely away, she loves it.

Emma, you smashed it.

I can't wait for the next

Second Hand Style-Up.

Me too. Boom!
