@BigonStyle you are very welcome. I signed my husband and I both up for stitch fix when I noticed it. Doesn't hurt to try them if it doesn't cost anything for the first week.
I like to look at these unboxing videos but they are so overpriced I’d seriously never spend that much on any of it! You’re fun to watch and honest yet still kind!
Thank you so much, Cheri! They really are very overpriced- I feel like they really had a place when I was trying to find my style. I am going to keep getting them in because people do seem to like seeing them and I normally find something that I want to keep!
I love the striped sweater the best and think a size smaller would fit you best. I’m so proud of you and how fun you make these videos. You’re looking fantastic and making me want to up my fashion game. 😜
Love the wig! I was personally neutral about all of the pieces except the white sweater w/black stripes. And it looked good looser and also looked good when you pulled it tighter. And I'm 'pro-belt' 😊. Definitely a winner!! Also, I used to work for one of the largest wholesale clothing companies in the US, and it is CRAZY how many shades of the color 'navy' there are, and how close to black it really does get.
Good! I am so happy that the information helps you- and I am so sorry that you have fibro! I have a friend with it and oh, bless her heart on those bad days!!
Hello Nadine! The very first thing I want to say to you is CONGRATULATIONS on your progress in your weight loss journey!. I just watched your very first video, which was, if I'm not mistaken, this past April . WOW, you've come so far. I am so happy for you ❤ I'm going to give you my honest opinion about the wig. To me, it was obvious you were wearing one, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like your natural hair. It looks greasy too. I think a wig of a different color with some body to it would look fantastic on you though. With not such a drastic to-the-side part. It would be fun to see you try on a variety of wigs. Thanks for your channel and for being YOU❤
The black leatherette pants with the white with black stripe sweater look beautiful on you. They skim the body in a very flattering way. Also the wig looks fabulous on you. That length is very pretty.
Meredith I love all your videos but I had never seen this one before. I too have very fine thin hair and have recently discovered hair clips and, pony tails and clip in pieces. This wig is very natural looking on you I really love it.
Hey Meredith, been watching a while, but first time commenting.. I love watching your hauls! The wig - do more, that was super fun! There was nothing in that box flattering enough for the prices in my opinion. The striped sweater is a staple piece, but you didn't LOVE it and it cost a lot and can be found softer for less. The plaid shacket you could probably get elsewhere for less too. Thanks for introducing me/us to a new brand.
Angela, thank you so much for watching!! I love your Ursula/Vanessa profile picture! These subscription boxes are so expensive, I completely agree! I think that they absolutely had their place when I first started delving into new clothes in giving me lots of options to see what suited me. I am slowly canceling them, but am still pretty tied to Stitch Fix and Wantable. I just had an Amazon company (In’voland) want to do another video with me in November and one of their items is just like the plaid jacket!! It is $35! I really enjoyed the wig, I can’t wait to try it again- thank you so much for reaching out, I truly appreciate you!!
Hello Meredith! I really liked the brown pants, stripped sweater, black pants (the noise will lessen with washing) and the plaid hoodie. It’s too bad that fair isle sweater was uncomfortable because it was super cute on you.
I really enjoy your videos. I just want you to know that wigs can be a ton of fun. If you decide to try some others, don't be afraid to experiment with styles and colors. My hair was very fine and thin for years. I used to be so embarrassed. But wigs never crossed my mind. Fast forward many years, found out i had cancer. Lost all my hair. Tried wigs and havent looked back. I'm cancer free now, but i keep my head shaved and always wear wigs. I've never paid more than maybe $75 for a wig (yet) and my favorite is a $25 wig off of Amazon! (If it's a super cheap wig bangs work best because super cheap wigs don't have lace fronts.) I love that you put yourself out there and tried the wig! I liked it on you, but I think there are other styles you could really rock! ❤
My favourite look was the fairisle sweater and brown pants. Wow! Too bad the neckline is bothering you. If you hadn't said anything about the wig, I would have never guessed! You look great!
Thanks for another fun and interesting video. I think the only thing I'd have kept is the striped jumper. The shiny jeans looked fab but that noise would've made me feel self-conscious every time I moved.
I really love your subscription box videos. The prices are high, but there is something satisfying about watching these and seeing what you get. Thank you! Love the wig, I am going to look at the website.
I like the striped jumper the best. I also like the zigzag one. Personally I find high-necked jumpers itchy and much prefer a v-neck. I laughed when you walked around in the coated trousers - they were so noisy! 😹 Your dog is adorable.
Thank you- that neck drove me crazy! I actually said several things about it, but Lulu was barking and I didn’t want to risk your poor ears! I felt like everyone needed a full noisy pant warning! I really appreciate you, Pamela!
I think you look adorable in the patterned sweater... honestly it made you look bustier not broad shouldered. Chocolate brown is a pretty color on you also.
Thank you, Carol- I loved the way that one looked, but the neck was really uncomfortable, if I had kept it, I just know that I wouldn’t choose to wear it often.
Thank you, it is from Stitch Fix, I’m really happy with it for Fall! www.stitchfix.com/product/Beacon-Alzbeta-Long-Sleeve-Knit-Top/2XGJYR26X?sku-id=3095587&color=Olive&size=3X&source=bought_items&recommended-sku-id=3095587
I like the top and jeans you started out with. I liked the plaid and the sweater withe the brown zig-zag on it but like you if you have a short thick neck; it is not suitable. I would have liked the "mint "V" neck sweater if it was longer. I didn't like the dress or the pants but I liked the idea of the pants. If I could afford any of those clothes I believe I would have just gotten the plaid hoodie. I bought a blue plaid top from one of our local stores and it has a lace up front with the same plaid material. It is SO soft and warm and blue happens to be my favourite colour. I think it cost me $20.00 and I am considering getting another one. It only came in one colour but I would still get another one. I was able to get the 2x the next size up would have been too baggy. Keep having fun shopping Meredith.
I found a really similar plaid shacket on Amazon for $33ish by In’voland- the subscription boxes really are so pricey! I really appreciated them when I first started trying to build my wardrobe. I am going to keep he sweater in a 3x - partially because it is so comfortable, partly because Wantsble did not have a 2X in stock! The intro outfit was halara jeggings and a Stitch fix top it is the Alzbeta by beacon.
@@BigonStyle First of all I was agreeing with you about the short, thick neck because I too have that. I don't know if it came across the way I meant it to. Wal~Mart and Giant Tiger have plus sizes and clothes I like. I just ordered dresses from amazon which as you probably know, come from China. You have to order a couple of sizes larger to get your size. I ordered a dress each for my girlfriends and one for myself all different colours and styles. They were all supposed to be like "Mother of the bride" dresses. I first ordered a 4X for me and it was like a long shirt. I just ordered a 5X and it doesn't look that great either but it was a little longer; no where near the knees. It was a beautiful grey lace sleeveless dress with the long cover up in grey that goes over it. It came in many colours and styles. The one I got for one of my girlfriends, I thought had sequins on them but when I got the dress it was only polkadots. Very disappointing. I got a nice flower pattern with the green cover up. She is a size small but I got hers in Medium and it was big on her. Weird! There was no S available in any size of this dress. Some of them went up to 3X only. I just ordered these recently from amazon.ca if you would like to see what I am talking about. You can look at plus size dresses. I don't know whom is going to fit this 5X dress. I am not sending it back because they made me pay for postage and it will cost almost the price of the dress itself. The dresses I bought were like $15.95ish - $25.00 Canadian which was an excellent price. You can type in Fall dresses for women 2023. The medium one I bought was a Chiffon dress; they showed them all under the Fall dresses for women; mother of the bride (which I am not).
I enjoy your videos so much! You are funny and sweet, and give your honest opinion on everything. If you want to try wigs, a synthetic wig is so much easier to take care of. The style will stay in the wig even when you wash it. Wigs do not have to be super expensive to be good quality. Paula Young even has lace front wigs now. There is a whole new rabbit hole to go down with wigs! They are fun too!
I love the brown jeans but size down. I really like the sweater on you too also size down. You always make me laugh and never know what you’re going to be talking about 🤣😂
Thank you (I don’t always know what I’m going to talk about when I start filming, either 🤦♀️) I really appreciate you watching and commenting- you are awesome!
The Brown pants look great with the dark sweater with design, but I can’t stand anything that close around my neck. I would just keep pulling on it! Love the black/white sweater a little big but that makes it cozy. Try it with tighter pants. Pants are too big on you but I’d like them smaller. Love the plaid jacket too. Love the wig, would like to see it in shorter style. Well Done Again Meredith!❤
Thank you so much, Kathy! The longer I wore that sweater, the more it irritated my neck! I talked about it a little bit, but Lulu was barking, so I had to cut it out! The wig was a lot of fun! I think I’m going to size down, but I worry about getting a whole box in that doesn’t fit! I really appreciate you!! ❤️
This was fun fall box! I love how the black pants fit and looked, but the sound would have driven me nuts too. It was a great look with the fair isle sweater in your black boots. I did like the striped sweater and I liked how it flowed so depending on how much it the small size brings it in, it might not flow as nicely. (At 66 my only criteria for clothes is comfort!) ❤
Hey Meredith! First, you look amazing! I really loved the last outfit, pants and all. You might be able to go down a size in that striped sweater. But, the whole outfit looks so good.
I love you for suggesting other influencers that may offer a discount with their codes! 🙌. You rock! But we all knew that didn’t we?! ❤ Love the sweater you chose but really sorry that Fair Isle design sweater was so uncomfortable because dog-gone-it, it looked sharp on you! The dress was cute but definitely spring vibes there. I’m not a fan of leather or pleather pants on anyone. I liked these better than most because they were fitted but still…. LoL! I love love love the blouse you had on to start with, who manufactured it…please and thank you! 😊 The wig actually fooled me. The video popped up on my screen and I thought this must be some other influencer mimicking MERIDITH! I watched my usual qigong and a couple f short news videos and then I read “Big On Style” ….wait a minute…that IS Meridith! So funny to me! I have fine hair too and once asked my stylist where I could find a wig locally. The only places are the stores that primarily focus on their women of color clientele. Finally I decided to just let it grow long and wear in a messy but and did that for a couple of years.. so much easier. Then I started watching Justin Hickox on RUclips and a few others and decided to do a almost shoulder length bob and I loved it. Then I went back for a trim and my stylist cut way too much …thank goodness it’s hair and will grow back. I have discovered the hair fibers to camouflage that pink scalp so I’m good with my finer hair now. Justin just did a video on it Tuesday before last but he had mentioned it before so I had coincidentally just started using it when he did his last video in it. He and his wife are fun to watch to so I definitely suggest checking him out. He did created a RUclips firestorm this week when he said everyone over fifty should cut their long hair. He was being facetious but it was hilarious or rather ridiculous how many people posted on his video without ever watching it. Okay book closed! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Love that you went for it with the wig, I always have curious thoughts about getting wigs because I can style hair just not the one on my head lol. I like the color but I miss your curls. The stripe sweater would have been my favorite but I, like you, prefer v neck. Thought the dress was adorable on you too. Tfs❤
Wig? I just assumed you'd been to the salon before filming. It looks great on you! You are definitely not the only one who has trouble distinguishing shades of navy and black.
I hope you were able to get the striped sweater in a smaller size. It was so cute on you! The wig was very fun and unexpected! It’s crazy how much it changed your look; I wasn’t sure at first if it was the real you. 😄
You are looking fantastic with your weight loss journey. I am glad I found your channel and I look forward to your posts. You introduced me to Bloom Chic and I love it and the POCKETS. Keep up the great work.
I just got a package in from bloomchic- I haven’t even had time to look at it yet, but so excited to see how they do Fall! It is amazing that designers and manufacturers went so long without pockets for ladies!
I’m underwhelmed with the Cozytober box. I was so excited but I really didn’t love anything from the box. The pants had potential but… meh. Totally agree with the sound from the Kut pants 😂. I think there are way nicer sweaters out there and you should hold out for something special. The dress definitely screams Spring. I do like that they put some pieces in there that you probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise. I went to Lane Bryant the other night and was so excited to try on two styles of the faux leather pants that are trending right now, but I just didn’t feel beautiful in them as you say. Well, on to the next box! As for the wig… the color threw me off. As I’ve gotten older, my hair has also gotten thinner and less full so I definitely can relate.
Hi Meredith love your choices, when you where pulling on your wig it reminded me of my high school bus driver she had a wig which I think was to big because when she was driving it would slow try to work it way to the back of the wig
The dress looked good on you. Maybe reconsider it in the spring. My favorite outfit was the brown pants with the navy/black sweater. I would not be cool with dry clean only though. The plaid would be perfect for winter in the south.
Thank you so much, Julie! My best friend just moved from the Southern US to Melbourne! It makes me very sad, but I think that a fabulous vacation is in my future!
@@BigonStyle I’m actually going down to Melbourne (hubby and I live in Queensland, about a 4 hour drive north of Brisbane in a town called Bundaberg) next Friday to see my son and daughter and their respective partners. Your friend will notice the difference in weather, it’s quite cold, windy and wet in the winters, and there are some very very hot days during summer, although most of the time it’s pretty pleasant. You should definitely take the time to visit, I’m sure you and your gorgeous family would have a fabulous time!
My mom wore wigs and she always took them to her hair stylist to get them cut and styled for her. I'm a fan of the striped sweater. I liked the fair isle sweater but dry clean is a deal breaker. The faux leather pants looked great but not if the noise would drive you crazy and wrong season for the dress. The plaid was overpriced. That could come from shein or walmart. Fun box.
That plain white sweater almost looked like it hangar things on it but just off the vneck, I loved what you had on when you started filming. Happy Wednesday 💙💙💙
I get more comments about it than you can imagine! It does mishaps things sometimes (or look like I have an odd chest bulge!) but on the plus side- you can hear me!! ❤️
I feel you on the hair front. I have the finest hair, instrated to get the minimal amount of extensions just for a bit of volume and its costly and all that Jazz and I bet noone even notices but ut has given me what I needed! Great lengths are great! The wig is also great, you do you, either way you're great! New sub here from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much, Sarah!! I love what you said- I think that we need to wear and style ourselves for ourselves! If the extensions make you happy, then you will exude that confidence. I think that is what people are attracted to, even if they cannot attribute it to the hair!! I really appreciate you subscribing and taking the time to comment! ❤️
@@BigonStyle yes! 100%. Uts what we exude.. Its what we call the x factor in others.. Cant quite put your finger on it but it's usually confidence and swag.. At any shape or size whatsoever!!
Thank you! I loved the striped sweater and the plaid! The little plaid jacket really is the perfect weight for our little cold snaps or even to wear indoors.
Hi Meredith, you are looking fabulous! I have been looking at the coated jeans, and you confirmed my fear - noisy when walking. I think the right belt gives a nip at the waist, which gives us the illusion of an hourglass. My favorite was the black sweater, which isn’t one of your picks. I like the pattern, but not the neckline. In fact, I am not a fan of crew necks because I am wide shouldered, and they make me look larger than I am. Give me a scoop, v, or square.
Joan, I think you are right. I think that it is almost time to size down, but I’m so scared of getting a whole box that doesn’t fit 😬. Those were by far my favorite pieces!
Girl, you are doing fantastic on your weightloss journey! You look amazing; I hope you are super proud of yourself!!! I think you might want to try the black sweater with the black pants. Not a thumbs up on the green dress, it doesn't flatter your figure as much as you deserve.
Thank you so much, Barbara I really appreciate you and I am pretty proud!! That black sweater was my favorite looking, but I felt like it was squeezing my neck too much.
Deana! I’m doing so well! We had a cool snap last week that was glorious, but I’m sitting here waiting for my daughter after school and it is 86 degrees. Not bad, but I would love another front! I bet that your Fall is just gorgeous! We don’t get a lot of fall color.
I have always wanted to be able to get wigs. Especially now with my hair getting thinner. It would be fun to be able to change my hair like I do clothing.
Haha I have narrow shoulders and was just thinking 'oh that second top really shows off Meredith's beautiful broad shoulders' but we both know life is too short for uncomfortable clothes.
I would like to see the wig styled by a hairdresser before making a decision on wigs. But the colour looks very nice on you. My hair is getting quite about thinner before menopause and I have been thinking about wigs. If you get it styled, please show us or if your Mum gets it, show how it ended up. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much, Ann!! I thought that this was a neat box- and the wig is just fun! I have lost just over 60 pounds this year! About 40 since my first RUclips video. I appreciate you so much!
So I'm new to you - and I want to say I loved the pleather pants on you... so if you don't get those, maybe try on another pair sometime. Overall, this box was okay... but I feel like for the price, I'm one of those who needs less synthetic fabric in my life.. Also - and it's none of my business, but I think your natural hair looked pretty good :)
I absolutely love your anecdotes! And I have some coated jeans like that which make the same noise when you walk - they are really annoying 🤣 so I generally agree with what you picked, I think you're getting to the point of being in between the two sizes though, which is great in one way as you're doing well with your weight loss journey, but might mean for a while all the subscription boxes seem a bit oversized on you. Keep at it though ❤
I don’t know when to switch over! I really don’t want to get in a whole box of things that are too small- as positive as I try to be, that would really bum me out! The coated pants looked great, but man that sound! Did yours get better with washing?
@@BigonStyle unfortunately not, and not even with wearing them. I am pretty sure I wore them when walking round NYC (I think we did over 20k steps that day) When its noisy, like in NYC, I didn't notice the sound of them but I did when we were just in our Airbnb
Hey Meredith!! Sending you love from down the street! LoL (Sorry, i just had to be a bit cheeky) Also, Jim Morrisson was famously nonplussed by his stinky leather pants. Get it, girl!
I thought the fairisle jumper was surprisingly nice, otherwise agree with your choice (although wasn't delighted with the fit on the brown pants). Also think the fit on the striped jumper at 3X would probably not be improved at 2X - it looked good in roomy! The green dress definitely not cosy. Never noticed that your hair was thin (mine is and possibly balding) - so you've been doing well in your hair presentation!!! 💋
They are vegan leather! Loved black and white sweater size looks good. For all us plus size ladies that never wear vegan leather pants, they look great but the noise would bother me and they seem a little short. Us shorties like to see things that are short.
Thank you, Pam- I really like these subscription services, but they are so pricey!! I kept the striped sweater and honestly really love it- it is thick and comfortable.
I think that we should meet in the middle and both be 5’6”! I think that being tall has some great perks, but clothing length is certainly not one of them (most of the time!)
About the wig - I miss the curls! I used to wear a wig because of chemo treatment but got rid of it when my hair grew back. Fast forward 12 years and, like you, my hair is thinning. Maybe I need to go back to wigs and try again.
Thank you, Karen! I love my curls! I need to figure out how to style the wig, I think it may be neat for updos! Did you keep your wigs from when you were going through chemo? My mom did not lose her hair when she went through chemo, but it went solid white. I think that the differences from case to case are fascinating. Thank Heaven that you are on this side of cancer. ❤️
@@BigonStyle I actually donated my wig to the hospital. They have a few on hand for women who cannot afford one. I’ve never heard of someone whose hair went white from chemo. Wow. I’m so glad your mom is okay now.
I love your tangents! The striped sweater was my favorite. The hoodie was okay, but not for the price. I have a question about asking Wantable for a different pattern of an item. They sent me the Janae dress in a navy geometric print, but I much prefer the green print you received. Can you exchange for a different color or print selection?
Dana, you cannot do it on the website, but I have had really good luck with customer service! I would write them and ask! I found a hoodie that is so similar on Amazon by In’voland for $32!
I think the prices are all way too high! You can get better quality pieces at Old Navy for less and 50% off a lot of times! My favourite is the striped sweater and the brown jeans although the hem on those jeans are wonky!🤣 In the try on it also looked like one leg hem was way shorter than the other… I really think you need to size down as well!😁
Wantable prices are pretty high and I think the quality is sometimes questionable. For their prices, I expect finished seams and fabric that doesn't pill easily. The faux leather (didn't we call it pleather?) looked great, but the noise would make me crazy as well. I did like the striped sweater on you as well as the fair isle one, but if it's not comfortable, then its a hard NO. The dress was definitely the one that didn't belong. I liked the Vigoss pants and the plaid top...
The wig color is a great match! You look great have you lost weight? I’m new and going through your videos. Since you have human hair go to a hair stylist to get a cute Do
Thank you, Pamela- I need to have my stylist work on it! I have lost weight (but I’m in a plateau/small weight gain right now!) last year I lost over 60 pounds, I had lost about 20 before I started making videos, so there is about a 40 pound difference in my videos. I appreciate you noticing!
Nadine and stitch fix are both doing first box free right now
Oooh, Chandra, thank you- I’m going to pin this - No styling fee at the moment for Stitch Fix and Nadine West!
@BigonStyle you are very welcome. I signed my husband and I both up for stitch fix when I noticed it. Doesn't hurt to try them if it doesn't cost anything for the first week.
I like to look at these unboxing videos but they are so overpriced I’d seriously never spend that much on any of it! You’re fun to watch and honest yet still kind!
Thank you so much, Cheri! They really are very overpriced- I feel like they really had a place when I was trying to find my style. I am going to keep getting them in because people do seem to like seeing them and I normally find something that I want to keep!
Absolutely love your videos! Your charm, wit and humor are always so wonderful. And by the way, you look great!
Thank you so much, Judy ❤️
You are so correct about we don't have to like what you like, but most of the time, I agree with you❤
I love the striped sweater the best and think a size smaller would fit you best. I’m so proud of you and how fun you make these videos. You’re looking fantastic and making me want to up my fashion game. 😜
Lol, I thought I was going crazy and couldn’t remember your hair being that long. Finding out it was a wig made me feel more sane 😂
Haha, I love it!!
Meredith-you are adorable! Thank you for these fun videos!
Love the wig! I was personally neutral about all of the pieces except the white sweater w/black stripes. And it looked good looser and also looked good when you pulled it tighter. And I'm 'pro-belt' 😊. Definitely a winner!! Also, I used to work for one of the largest wholesale clothing companies in the US, and it is CRAZY how many shades of the color 'navy' there are, and how close to black it really does get.
I adore you as well and I'm pretty sure most who watch your videos feel the same. You are so fun and so inspiring!! Thank you!!🥰🥰
You are looking great Meredith. Your walking and workout(s) are paying off. Good for you! xoxo
Thank you so much!!!
This is my first time ever hearing of Wantable. Love the friend's husband hair story 😂
Thanks for talking about the fiber content. I’ve found that since having fibromyalgia that I really do better with natural fibers.
Good! I am so happy that the information helps you- and I am so sorry that you have fibro! I have a friend with it and oh, bless her heart on those bad days!!
Great point, and I am right with you. Modal has been amazing for me. Cotton flannel is great, but the popular she-jackets are poly and yucky.
The brown pants (a big big but cut looked good, imo) and light sweater looks great on you. But hate that it felt nasty.
Leather like pants need to be longer.
The horizontal striped sweater was hands-down the winner. You looked like you felt good in it.
Thank you, and I agree! I am keeping that one and just packed everything back up yesterday to ship back!
Hello Nadine!
The very first thing I want to say to you is CONGRATULATIONS on your progress in your weight loss journey!.
I just watched your very first video, which was, if I'm not mistaken, this past April .
WOW, you've come so far.
I am so happy for you ❤
I'm going to give you my honest opinion about the wig.
To me, it was obvious you were wearing one, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to look like your natural hair. It looks greasy too.
I think a wig of a different color with some body to it would look fantastic on you though. With not such a drastic to-the-side part.
It would be fun to see you try on a variety of wigs.
Thanks for your channel and for being YOU❤
Thanks so much Meredith! I agree with your selections 100% and always appreciate your honest opinions.
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Thanks, Meredith! I liked your choices!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Always happy to see a video from you in my subscription feed 😊
Bethan
I really want to try this box. I adore you and love your happy personality. Love the wig.
The black leatherette pants with the white with black stripe sweater look beautiful on you. They skim the body in a very flattering way. Also the wig looks fabulous on you. That length is very pretty.
Thank you so much, Pat!! I need to find less noisy pants like that!
Just love you and your videos regardless of whether I like the clothes you try on. You are fabulous! Never change! ❤
Thank you so much, Rachel- I truly appreciate you ❤️❤️
That last striped sweater would have been my winner also. Love that. I also liked the plaid. I am totally a plaid person.
I love me some plaid prople 😉. I cannot wait for all of the white Buffalo plaid at Christmas!
I liked the striped sweater at the end the best.
The sound those pants made would drive me crazy!
Sheila, they irritated me just walking from my bedroom to my living room! ❤️
I love the wig it looks good. I love the plaid hooded shirt and the black stripped shirt
Meredith I love all your videos but I had never seen this one before. I too have very fine thin hair and have recently discovered hair clips and, pony tails and clip in pieces. This wig is very natural looking on you I really love it.
Hey Meredith, been watching a while, but first time commenting.. I love watching your hauls! The wig - do more, that was super fun! There was nothing in that box flattering enough for the prices in my opinion. The striped sweater is a staple piece, but you didn't LOVE it and it cost a lot and can be found softer for less. The plaid shacket you could probably get elsewhere for less too. Thanks for introducing me/us to a new brand.
Angela, thank you so much for watching!! I love your Ursula/Vanessa profile picture!
These subscription boxes are so expensive, I completely agree! I think that they absolutely had their place when I first started delving into new clothes in giving me lots of options to see what suited me. I am slowly canceling them, but am still pretty tied to Stitch Fix and Wantable. I just had an Amazon company (In’voland) want to do another video with me in November and one of their items is just like the plaid jacket!! It is $35!
I really enjoyed the wig, I can’t wait to try it again- thank you so much for reaching out, I truly appreciate you!!
Hello Meredith! I really liked the brown pants, stripped sweater, black pants (the noise will lessen with washing) and the plaid hoodie. It’s too bad that fair isle sweater was uncomfortable because it was super cute on you.
I really enjoy your videos. I just want you to know that wigs can be a ton of fun. If you decide to try some others, don't be afraid to experiment with styles and colors. My hair was very fine and thin for years. I used to be so embarrassed. But wigs never crossed my mind. Fast forward many years, found out i had cancer. Lost all my hair. Tried wigs and havent looked back. I'm cancer free now, but i keep my head shaved and always wear wigs. I've never paid more than maybe $75 for a wig (yet) and my favorite is a $25 wig off of Amazon! (If it's a super cheap wig bangs work best because super cheap wigs don't have lace fronts.)
I love that you put yourself out there and tried the wig! I liked it on you, but I think there are other styles you could really rock! ❤
Holy smokes! I didn't even recognize you with the straight hair! Looking great, momma!!
Thank you!! It was fun to switch it up!!
Love this. I am going to check this company out. Thank you for doing this❤️
My favourite look was the fairisle sweater and brown pants. Wow! Too bad the neckline is bothering you. If you hadn't said anything about the wig, I would have never guessed! You look great!
Thanks for another fun and interesting video. I think the only thing I'd have kept is the striped jumper. The shiny jeans looked fab but that noise would've made me feel self-conscious every time I moved.
I really love your subscription box videos. The prices are high, but there is something satisfying about watching these and seeing what you get. Thank you! Love the wig, I am going to look at the website.
Thank you so much!
I like the striped jumper the best. I also like the zigzag one. Personally I find high-necked jumpers itchy and much prefer a v-neck. I laughed when you walked around in the coated trousers - they were so noisy! 😹 Your dog is adorable.
Thank you- that neck drove me crazy! I actually said several things about it, but Lulu was barking and I didn’t want to risk your poor ears! I felt like everyone needed a full noisy pant warning! I really appreciate you, Pamela!
I liked the black pants on you. I don’t think the sound would bother me personally. The hair is a perfect color for you. Good choices.
Thank you, Neda ❤️
I think you look adorable in the patterned sweater... honestly it made you look bustier not broad shouldered.
Chocolate brown is a pretty color on you also.
Thank you, Carol- I loved the way that one looked, but the neck was really uncomfortable, if I had kept it, I just know that I wouldn’t choose to wear it often.
I love the outfit you’re wearing in the interdiction the wig is cute.
Thank you, it is from Stitch Fix, I’m really happy with it for Fall!

I like the top and jeans you started out with. I liked the plaid and the sweater withe the brown zig-zag on it but like you if you have a short thick neck; it is not suitable. I would have liked the "mint "V" neck sweater if it was longer. I didn't like the dress or the pants but I liked the idea of the pants. If I could afford any of those clothes I believe I would have just gotten the plaid hoodie. I bought a blue plaid top from one of our local stores and it has a lace up front with the same plaid material. It is SO soft and warm and blue happens to be my favourite colour. I think it cost me $20.00 and I am considering getting another one. It only came in one colour but I would still get another one. I was able to get the 2x the next size up would have been too baggy. Keep having fun shopping Meredith.
I found a really similar plaid shacket on Amazon for $33ish by In’voland- the subscription boxes really are so pricey! I really appreciated them when I first started trying to build my wardrobe. I am going to keep he sweater in a 3x - partially because it is so comfortable, partly because Wantsble did not have a 2X in stock!
The intro outfit was halara jeggings and a Stitch fix top it is the Alzbeta by beacon.
@@BigonStyle First of all I was agreeing with you about the short, thick neck because I too have that. I don't know if it came across the way I meant it to.
Wal~Mart and Giant Tiger have plus sizes and clothes I like. I just ordered dresses from amazon which as you probably know, come from China. You have to order a couple of sizes larger to get your size. I ordered a dress each for my girlfriends and one for myself all different colours and styles. They were all supposed to be like "Mother of the bride" dresses. I first ordered a 4X for me and it was like a long shirt. I just ordered a 5X and it doesn't look that great either but it was a little longer; no where near the knees. It was a beautiful grey lace sleeveless dress with the long cover up in grey that goes over it. It came in many colours and styles. The one I got for one of my girlfriends, I thought had sequins on them but when I got the dress it was only polkadots. Very disappointing. I got a nice flower pattern with the green cover up. She is a size small but I got hers in Medium and it was big on her. Weird! There was no S available in any size of this dress. Some of them went up to 3X only. I just ordered these recently from amazon.ca if you would like to see what I am talking about. You can look at plus size dresses. I don't know whom is going to fit this 5X dress. I am not sending it back because they made me pay for postage and it will cost almost the price of the dress itself. The dresses I bought were like $15.95ish - $25.00 Canadian which was an excellent price. You can type in Fall dresses for women 2023. The medium one I bought was a Chiffon dress; they showed them all under the Fall dresses for women; mother of the bride (which I am not).
I enjoy your videos so much! You are funny and sweet, and give your honest opinion on everything. If you want to try wigs, a synthetic wig is so much easier to take care of. The style will stay in the wig even when you wash it. Wigs do not have to be super expensive to be good quality. Paula Young even has lace front wigs now. There is a whole new rabbit hole to go down with wigs! They are fun too!
Terry, thank you so much, I’m looking into them now!!
I love the brown jeans but size down. I really like the sweater on you too also size down. You always make me laugh and never know what you’re going to be talking about 🤣😂
Thank you (I don’t always know what I’m going to talk about when I start filming, either 🤦♀️) I really appreciate you watching and commenting- you are awesome!
The Brown pants look great with the dark sweater with design, but I can’t stand anything that close around my neck. I would just keep pulling on it! Love the black/white sweater a little big but that makes it cozy. Try it with tighter pants. Pants are too big on you but I’d like them smaller. Love the plaid jacket too. Love the wig, would like to see it in shorter style. Well Done Again Meredith!❤
Thank you so much, Kathy! The longer I wore that sweater, the more it irritated my neck! I talked about it a little bit, but Lulu was barking, so I had to cut it out!
The wig was a lot of fun! I think I’m going to size down, but I worry about getting a whole box in that doesn’t fit!
I really appreciate you!! ❤️
I liked all the outfits on you
This was fun fall box! I love how the black pants fit and looked, but the sound would have driven me nuts too. It was a great look with the fair isle sweater in your black boots. I did like the striped sweater and I liked how it flowed so depending on how much it the small size brings it in, it might not flow as nicely. (At 66 my only criteria for clothes is comfort!) ❤
Love the wig
Hey Meredith! First, you look amazing! I really loved the last outfit, pants and all. You might be able to go down a size in that striped sweater. But, the whole outfit looks so good.
I love you for suggesting other influencers that may offer a discount with their codes! 🙌. You rock! But we all knew that didn’t we?! ❤
Love the sweater you chose but really sorry that Fair Isle design sweater was so uncomfortable because dog-gone-it, it looked sharp on you!
The dress was cute but definitely spring vibes there.
I’m not a fan of leather or pleather pants on anyone. I liked these better than most because they were fitted but still…. LoL!
I love love love the blouse you had on to start with, who manufactured it…please and thank you! 😊
The wig actually fooled me. The video popped up on my screen and I thought this must be some other influencer mimicking MERIDITH! I watched my usual qigong and a couple f short news videos and then I read “Big On Style” ….wait a minute…that IS Meridith! So funny to me!
I have fine hair too and once asked my stylist where I could find a wig locally. The only places are the stores that primarily focus on their women of color clientele. Finally I decided to just let it grow long and wear in a messy but and did that for a couple of years.. so much easier. Then I started watching Justin Hickox on RUclips and a few others and decided to do a almost shoulder length bob and I loved it. Then I went back for a trim and my stylist cut way too much …thank goodness it’s hair and will grow back. I have discovered the hair fibers to camouflage that pink scalp so I’m good with my finer hair now. Justin just did a video on it Tuesday before last but he had mentioned it before so I had coincidentally just started using it when he did his last video in it. He and his wife are fun to watch to so I definitely suggest checking him out. He did created a RUclips firestorm this week when he said everyone over fifty should cut their long hair. He was being facetious but it was hilarious or rather ridiculous how many people posted on his video without ever watching it.
Okay book closed! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Love the wig, and you should name them like Moira Rose did. Real hair wigs are top line!
Love the stripy top! It really suits you. You always make my day!
Thank you so much!! The sweater was my winner- I wish that fair isle felt a little better!
I like the white and black strip sweater in that size. The oversized look is really in right now.
Thank you, Evelyn! I will keep it in the 3X, it is so comfortable!
Love that you went for it with the wig, I always have curious thoughts about getting wigs because I can style hair just not the one on my head lol. I like the color but I miss your curls.
The stripe sweater would have been my favorite but I, like you, prefer v neck. Thought the dress was adorable on you too. Tfs❤
Wig? I just assumed you'd been to the salon before filming. It looks great on you! You are definitely not the only one who has trouble distinguishing shades of navy and black.
I hope you were able to get the striped sweater in a smaller size. It was so cute on you! The wig was very fun and unexpected! It’s crazy how much it changed your look; I wasn’t sure at first if it was the real you. 😄
You are looking fantastic with your weight loss journey. I am glad I found your channel and I look forward to your posts. You introduced me to Bloom Chic and I love it and the POCKETS. Keep up the great work.
I just got a package in from bloomchic- I haven’t even had time to look at it yet, but so excited to see how they do Fall! It is amazing that designers and manufacturers went so long without pockets for ladies!
Hey Meredith.. love your channel …🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you, Leslie!
I’m underwhelmed with the Cozytober box. I was so excited but I really didn’t love anything from the box. The pants had potential but… meh. Totally agree with the sound from the Kut pants 😂. I think there are way nicer sweaters out there and you should hold out for something special. The dress definitely screams Spring. I do like that they put some pieces in there that you probably wouldn’t have tried otherwise. I went to Lane Bryant the other night and was so excited to try on two styles of the faux leather pants that are trending right now, but I just didn’t feel beautiful in them as you say. Well, on to the next box!
As for the wig… the color threw me off. As I’ve gotten older, my hair has also gotten thinner and less full so I definitely can relate.
Hi Meredith love your choices, when you where pulling on your wig it reminded me of my high school bus driver she had a wig which I think was to big because when she was driving it would slow try to work it way to the back of the wig
I’m the same way I want things to make me feel good and look amazing.
Stephanie- I have to remind myself - I feel awesome and beautiful in this, or it is a no (it doesn’t always work, but it is a good rule for me! )
The dress looked good on you. Maybe reconsider it in the spring. My favorite outfit was the brown pants with the navy/black sweater. I would not be cool with dry clean only though. The plaid would be perfect for winter in the south.
Hi from Australia, love watching your videos, you make the unboxings heaps of fun! Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you so much, Julie! My best friend just moved from the Southern US to Melbourne! It makes me very sad, but I think that a fabulous vacation is in my future!
@@BigonStyle I’m actually going down to Melbourne (hubby and I live in Queensland, about a 4 hour drive north of Brisbane in a town called Bundaberg) next Friday to see my son and daughter and their respective partners. Your friend will notice the difference in weather, it’s quite cold, windy and wet in the winters, and there are some very very hot days during summer, although most of the time it’s pretty pleasant. You should definitely take the time to visit, I’m sure you and your gorgeous family would have a fabulous time!
My mom wore wigs and she always took them to her hair stylist to get them cut and styled for her. I'm a fan of the striped sweater. I liked the fair isle sweater but dry clean is a deal breaker. The faux leather pants looked great but not if the noise would drive you crazy and wrong season for the dress. The plaid was overpriced. That could come from shein or walmart. Fun box.
That plain white sweater almost looked like it hangar things on it but just off the vneck, I loved what you had on when you started filming. Happy Wednesday 💙💙💙
After the next one I realized it’s your microphone 😂. Im losing my grip here in my late 40s almost 50
I get more comments about it than you can imagine! It does mishaps things sometimes (or look like I have an odd chest bulge!) but on the plus side- you can hear me!! ❤️
Size down in the striped sweater for sure. Bummer that those black pants are so noisy, they sure are cute!
that hair color is great on you - your weight loss shows! what a great box!
Thank you so much! This was a very fun one to do!
I feel you on the hair front. I have the finest hair, instrated to get the minimal amount of extensions just for a bit of volume and its costly and all that Jazz and I bet noone even notices but ut has given me what I needed! Great lengths are great! The wig is also great, you do you, either way you're great!
New sub here from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you so much, Sarah!! I love what you said- I think that we need to wear and style ourselves for ourselves! If the extensions make you happy, then you will exude that confidence. I think that is what people are attracted to, even if they cannot attribute it to the hair!!
I really appreciate you subscribing and taking the time to comment! ❤️
@@BigonStyle yes! 100%. Uts what we exude.. Its what we call the x factor in others.. Cant quite put your finger on it but it's usually confidence and swag.. At any shape or size whatsoever!!
There are MUCH better wigs out there. You are so adorable, go find the perfect one !
I loved the stripe sweater (though I do think a 2x would fit better) but my favourite is the plaid shirt, it looks so versatile.
Thank you! I loved the striped sweater and the plaid! The little plaid jacket really is the perfect weight for our little cold snaps or even to wear indoors.
Hi Meredith, you are looking fabulous! I have been looking at the coated jeans, and you confirmed my fear - noisy when walking. I think the right belt gives a nip at the waist, which gives us the illusion of an hourglass. My favorite was the black sweater, which isn’t one of your picks. I like the pattern, but not the neckline. In fact, I am not a fan of crew necks because I am wide shouldered, and they make me look larger than I am. Give me a scoop, v, or square.
You look fantastic!
Thank you, Peggy!
I love your hair up
Thank you!
-I love the plaid shirt jacket and the striped sweater. I agree the brown pants were to big and they would be great if you can get a 2X.
Joan, I think you are right. I think that it is almost time to size down, but I’m so scared of getting a whole box that doesn’t fit 😬. Those were by far my favorite pieces!
Your hair looks very good put up like you had it before you put the wig on.
The wig looks nice as well.
Thank you!
I know this video was a while ago but I wanted to say I think the wig looks good on you.
Girl, you are doing fantastic on your weightloss journey! You look amazing; I hope you are super proud of yourself!!! I think you might want to try the black sweater with the black pants. Not a thumbs up on the green dress, it doesn't flatter your figure as much as you deserve.
Thank you so much, Barbara I really appreciate you and I am pretty proud!!
That black sweater was my favorite looking, but I felt like it was squeezing my neck too much.
Hey. 🎉. How are you doing…hope the weather has begun to change in Texas for you. Fall foliage is everywhere on the Eastern shore of Maryland here. ❤
Deana! I’m doing so well! We had a cool snap last week that was glorious, but I’m sitting here waiting for my daughter after school and it is 86 degrees. Not bad, but I would love another front! I bet that your Fall is just gorgeous! We don’t get a lot of fall color.
@@BigonStyle colors are getting there. We are having a warm front through the weekend high of 78 degrees…hit the beach weather…lol
Hi Meredith, you look awesome!! I don't know how you do it.
I have always wanted to be able to get wigs. Especially now with my hair getting thinner. It would be fun to be able to change my hair like I do clothing.
That would be so much fun! I want to see what I look like as a brunette!
@@BigonStyle YES! As a ginger(aging ginger...lol) I ditto that. lol
Haha I have narrow shoulders and was just thinking 'oh that second top really shows off Meredith's beautiful broad shoulders' but we both know life is too short for uncomfortable clothes.
So true!! Life is way too short for uncomfortable clothes! You are so sweet, thank you for your kind comments- my shoulders appreciate it, too!
Looking great.love this channel..💙uk
Thank you Sue!! ❤️❤️❤️
I would like to see the wig styled by a hairdresser before making a decision on wigs. But the colour looks very nice on you. My hair is getting quite about thinner before menopause and I have been thinking about wigs. If you get it styled, please show us or if your Mum gets it, show how it ended up. Thanks for the video.
You look so good in this video!! The wig looks great on you!! Looks like you have lost weight!!🥰
Thank you so much, Ann!! I thought that this was a neat box- and the wig is just fun! I have lost just over 60 pounds this year! About 40 since my first RUclips video. I appreciate you so much!
So I'm new to you - and I want to say I loved the pleather pants on you... so if you don't get those, maybe try on another pair sometime. Overall, this box was okay... but I feel like for the price, I'm one of those who needs less synthetic fabric in my life.. Also - and it's none of my business, but I think your natural hair looked pretty good :)
I absolutely love your anecdotes! And I have some coated jeans like that which make the same noise when you walk - they are really annoying 🤣 so I generally agree with what you picked, I think you're getting to the point of being in between the two sizes though, which is great in one way as you're doing well with your weight loss journey, but might mean for a while all the subscription boxes seem a bit oversized on you. Keep at it though ❤
I don’t know when to switch over! I really don’t want to get in a whole box of things that are too small- as positive as I try to be, that would really bum me out! The coated pants looked great, but man that sound! Did yours get better with washing?
@@BigonStyle unfortunately not, and not even with wearing them. I am pretty sure I wore them when walking round NYC (I think we did over 20k steps that day) When its noisy, like in NYC, I didn't notice the sound of them but I did when we were just in our Airbnb
Hey Meredith!! Sending you love from down the street! LoL (Sorry, i just had to be a bit cheeky) Also, Jim Morrisson was famously nonplussed by his stinky leather pants. Get it, girl!
That is the best kind of love- except it is so muggy today! I’m so ready for this cold front!! I can’t imagine how smelly those pants got! 🤣🤣
@@BigonStyle go outside RIGHT NOW!! I recommend grabbing your coffee first though. LoL
@@luckycatfitness It really feels like Halloween!!
I thought the fairisle jumper was surprisingly nice, otherwise agree with your choice (although wasn't delighted with the fit on the brown pants). Also think the fit on the striped jumper at 3X would probably not be improved at 2X - it looked good in roomy!
The green dress definitely not cosy. Never noticed that your hair was thin (mine is and possibly balding) - so you've been doing well in your hair presentation!!! 💋
They are vegan leather! Loved black and white sweater size looks good. For all us plus size ladies that never wear vegan leather pants, they look great but the noise would bother me and they seem a little short. Us shorties like to see things that are short.
Personally I only like the stripe sweater you have on. Prices were way to expensive for me. As my father would say blessings on you! Pam
Thank you, Pam- I really like these subscription services, but they are so pricey!! I kept the striped sweater and honestly really love it- it is thick and comfortable.
You are looking very lean! Great video😊
Thank you so much! I’m working at it!
The leather look pants were great on you. Find something similar :)
I need to- I love the way they looked! Thank you!
I loved the striped sweater. I think the brown pants are too short. Unfortunately never my problem, I am 5’2!!!! I always wanted to be tall!!😊
I think that we should meet in the middle and both be 5’6”! I think that being tall has some great perks, but clothing length is certainly not one of them (most of the time!)
I’d love to hear a follow up on the wig!
And oh yes, the striped sweater is also giving me Princess Catherine vibes! 💙
I love the shirt you have on, the green one. Can you tell me where you got that?
About the wig - I miss the curls! I used to wear a wig because of chemo treatment but got rid of it when my hair grew back. Fast forward 12 years and, like you, my hair is thinning. Maybe I need to go back to wigs and try again.
Thank you, Karen! I love my curls! I need to figure out how to style the wig, I think it may be neat for updos! Did you keep your wigs from when you were going through chemo? My mom did not lose her hair when she went through chemo, but it went solid white. I think that the differences from case to case are fascinating. Thank Heaven that you are on this side of cancer. ❤️
@@BigonStyle I actually donated my wig to the hospital. They have a few on hand for women who cannot afford one. I’ve never heard of someone whose hair went white from chemo. Wow. I’m so glad your mom is okay now.
@@karenmacneil3678I love that you donated it, you surely blessed a woman who truly needed it!
I love your tangents! The striped sweater was my favorite. The hoodie was okay, but not for the price.
I have a question about asking Wantable for a different pattern of an item. They sent me the Janae dress in a navy geometric print, but I much prefer the green print you received. Can you exchange for a different color or print selection?
Dana, you cannot do it on the website, but I have had really good luck with customer service! I would write them and ask!
I found a hoodie that is so similar on Amazon by In’voland for $32!
I think the prices are all way too high!
You can get better quality pieces at Old Navy for less and 50% off a lot of times!
My favourite is the striped sweater and the brown jeans although the hem on those jeans are wonky!🤣
In the try on it also looked like one leg hem was way shorter than the other…
I really think you need to size down as well!😁
Send the entire box back!
Wantable prices are pretty high and I think the quality is sometimes questionable. For their prices, I expect finished seams and fabric that doesn't pill easily. The faux leather (didn't we call it pleather?) looked great, but the noise would make me crazy as well. I did like the striped sweater on you as well as the fair isle one, but if it's not comfortable, then its a hard NO. The dress was definitely the one that didn't belong. I liked the Vigoss pants and the plaid top...
The wig color is a great match! You look great have you lost weight? I’m new and going through your videos. Since you have human hair go to a hair stylist to get a cute Do
Thank you, Pamela- I need to have my stylist work on it! I have lost weight (but I’m in a plateau/small weight gain right now!) last year I lost over 60 pounds, I had lost about 20 before I started making videos, so there is about a 40 pound difference in my videos.
I appreciate you noticing!
The green dress does not seem to fit the cozy theme but it was my fave of the box.
The green dress was soft, but it really wasn’t on theme! It really was a cute box, though, I appreciate you!
FYI. Drag queens sprinkle baby powder into their wigs to make the wigs look more natural.
Fascinating! I need to try it! Thank you for the tip!
Vigoss is sized for Junior plus. Probably why they don't fit.
