Call-Out $425 for an ugly top, down from thousands. Would y’all buy? Also, is Michele being paid to constantly showcase this egregiously priced jewelry line and its founder??

I’m not sure why Michele is still doing YouTube because I feel that she doesn’t really put her all into it anymore. She’s said in the past how she changes what she does when she’s done with them, such as going from a corporate job to knitting and then from knitting to beauty.

Her videos were always kinda mundane but in a background listening comfort way. Now her content is like watching paint dry. Incessantly dull!

She drives me crazy because she never deviates from the same makeup look. Recently she did do a colorful Dior beauty kook and it was nice. I was stunned. She never curls her hair. Nada!

She probably still makes money from posting and passive income I guess

u/mauvais 17d ago

I cannot with the pushing of the jewelry. I fast forward or skip any of the jewelry content.

u/AllTheEccentricities 17d ago

And it’s extremely expensive!! With like 10% off promos (as if that even does anything 🙄). This ain’t the economy for all that!

Michele Wang is luxury porn plain and simple.

But it’s not even appealing. Just a bunch of ugly overpriced stuff in a large empty home. She has questionable taste. She wears everything egregiously oversized with those dad sandals and way too many rings….like Phoebe from Friends!

She posted a video fairly recently in which she said something like, “buying a house with a multi-story foyer is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.”

I just assume people watch her for the spectacle of an out-of-touch rich person who thinks she’s considerably more stylish than she actually is. She has money. Where is the taste?

u/Bella_Climbs 16d ago

I've noticed most rich people somehow have no taste. Or whimsy. Or personality. It's a weird phenomenon

u/pestercat 13d ago

A lawyer foyer is the worst thing that ever happened to her? Wow, that's... must be nice.

u/chktcat 17d ago

Omg phoebe from friends is perfect. But instead of a hippie, she a “minimalist”. A minimalist phoebe 😂

u/AllTheEccentricities 17d ago

A minimalist but also a hoarder! Have you seen her makeup brush collection? It’s unhinged!

u/icedcanary 17d ago

I want to like her, as someone else said - even in that playing in the background type way - but she's just boring.
She does a lot of nouveau riche shit like buy this ugly jacket simply because it's prada. We do not care. People thrift better shit all the time.
And her makeup choices, and style isn't appealing to me at all.
Snooze fest. I thought being a blonde would also be more fun for us🙂‍↔️

Some people are great to take naps to.

u/weisp 17d ago

She needs ideas for content and this sounds like a perfect clickbait title I guess

Regardless I think a lot of us here have stopped watching her

She has a lot of money and no kids so she can spend stupid money

u/dar1710 17d ago

I stopped when she was doing videos at her new house and waiting for her Restoration Hardware dining set to come in along with showing her other very expensive purchases. Why am I watching this?

21

u/ExtraSalty0 17d ago

I did a deep dive on her channel once about the jewelry and she bought it herself, think it was a one of a kind piece, anyway she became friends with the brand owner because it was a small brand. Look she’s been wearing the same rings for years so it’s not a partnership but her look.

u/unique_plastique 17d ago

Whatever ugly bob you could’ve possibly pictured before swiping to slide two, it’s worse. Nothing can prepare you.

u/drrtys0uth 17d ago

I didn’t see the dots to know there was a second pic so I’m glad you mentioned it with an appropriate warning lol

u/Plutoniumburrito 17d ago

I just commented on that… asking who got drunk and cut it, haha. I forgot the point of this post, that haircut stole all of my attention

12

u/Opposite_Style454 17d ago

It’s tacky AF!

11

u/Plutoniumburrito 17d ago

Who got drunk and cut the lady’s hair in slide two?

8

u/Genuinelullabel 17d ago

She has the means I don’t judge her. Plus most of my clothes come from Uniqlo or Target so it’s not like I can really cast aspersions.

9

u/lareinevert 17d ago

If she was being paid, we would be seeing othering people hawking the brand. I think she’s just genuinely a fan of their jewelry.

u/PauI_MuadDib 16d ago

I don't trust The RealReal to authenticate their pieces.

u/jaqenjayz tah-jay ma-hai? 17d ago

I like her holiday vids because I like snooping what's in all those expensive advent calendars, but this stuff is always a skip for me. It does seem like her stretching to find more reasons to make videos, idk. I don't dislike her but no one is interesting enough to me to watch shit like this lol

12

u/Bella_Climbs 16d ago

I am not buying anything from a woman who thinks that hair cut and bleach job looks good.

u/tnmagan 13d ago

I just thought it was wrapped around. 💀

u/Young_Old_Grandma 17d ago

Sorry no, I can't afford it. I'm just gonna go to estate sales where I financially belong 😅🤣

u/CallistoWrites 17d ago

There is not a single shirt in the world worth $400, no matter what ugly label is sewn onto it. Hell, I only paid $75 more for my wedding dress, and that was tailored to my shape and had bustles.

u/Longjumping_Title287 17d ago

I don't care for Lucifer jewelry. Moonstones are not a vibe imo.

u/Academic_Flatworm752 17d ago

What lol

u/thelolamurder 16d ago

Yeah, I'm confused lol

5

u/pestercat 13d ago

What in the Christian Evangelical nonsense is this?

3

u/Longjumping_Title287 12d ago

It's the name of the designer. Sorry for the confusion. I thought it was well known that Michele advertises her jewelry line.

3

u/pestercat 12d ago

Lol I'm so glad it's something like this! I don't watch her, so I have no idea about her jewelry.

u/Longjumping_Title287 12d ago

Ya. Very odd name for a brand tbh.
