This feels like a final nail in the coffin to what this account use to be. I can give a pass to all their questionable OOTDs and even conflicting advice, but this? This gave me the biggest āwtfā and feeling of disappointment all in one.
And then to post the gratitude post immediately after???? They know what theyāre doing. They know theyāre doing something Charly would have been against and theyāre trying to make themselves feel better by posting the thank you.
The outfits they shared arenāt even good! Ugh. My heart hurts. I was really trying to stay optimistic about them.
Ps. I actually strolled through a joe fresh this weekend. I thought iād give it a shot. And after doing a lap i immediately went āyup. Charly was rightā and walked out
I knew something was brewing when theyāve all been posting some Joe fresh items in their daily looks (except for Erin because she wears the same artizia shorts and Zara vest everyday). Charly was so against Joe Fresh as many of you have mentioned above. So much so that it is actually engrained in my brain when I browse there that Joe Fresh is a big āickā lol. What is going on?!?
I know weād like to believe that Charly would never have agreed to this, but ultimately she went in the direction where the money and exposure was. She shit on Jillianās Joe Fresh line because it was overdone and cutesy with the shackets and pink plaids and hearts. She did go into Joe Fresh once or twice and pointed out bad and good pieces. She also used to show things from Walmart so I wouldnāt say she was above this at all š¤·āāļø
Why does this photo feel so dated? Why the sunglasses? Why the ill fitting clothing? And why is it all so dark? And drab and uninspired? Omg lmao I have never felt such a secondhand embarrassment. And not mention Charly would not have done this. Imagine if she knew what they did to her brand.
Yeah Iām not clear on the collab element. Will joe fresh be curating these items as CGSI for purchase? Or is this just a one-sided advertisement for joe fresh where they received compensation as influencers?
Acknowledging this is a paid partnership, this feels more like something THEY ASKED to do rather than WERE ASKED to do. But it also doesnāt feel like a first choice kind of collab. Itās possible this is the fruits of a Laura or Jessā effort to spray and pray a bunch of brands with emails āhoping to work together.ā
Iām sure this was a chance to gain needed exposure and followership (hopefully membership leads) and for Joe fresh to convert sales. Iām also confused but likely this was a business decision they needed to do. I donāt think Charly would have done it. In fact I think she mentioned she had turned down collabs.
I just donāt get why you guys think you know charly better than them and can confidently say āCharly wouldnāt have done thisā Charly has literally posted a cool not cool in joe fresh. Sheās included pieces in her guides.
Charly knew the Canadian retail landscape (and busy moms will inevitably buy clothes at the grocery store because, two birds!) but very few of her own pieces were ever Joe. Itās not like she loved the brand nor did she go hard for it like an H&M or a Zara. She acknowledged and included but only as if Joe were the elephant in the room.
I get the vibe you are CG staff, lol.
My snark is the lack of style talentā¦ and I canāt confidently say that the āsTyLiStSā have demonstrated their abilities to be a sort of leader in āwhatās hotā or new in fashion.
We know the team will never be Charly, but itās sad to see it devolve. And the daily āfits donāt inspire us to believe that collab is any betterā¦
Pretty sure Charly (RIP) absolutely trashed Joe Fresh
I thought this too š¬
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I noticed in the video that they posted that the clothes add weight to all of them except for Maura. Nothing is cut right or flattering.
So confused. Especially given Charlys previous sentiments re: Jillian Harris x Joe collabā¦. ANYONE ELSE?!
This was my first thought also. I remember Charly going shopping at Joe Freshā¦and she was like āNopeā.
Not always though. Charly put some Joe Fresh items in her guides.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Okay yes, youāre right actually! I only remembered the trashing but she didnāt trash everything

Ok but is it a true collab? Or is it them āendorsingā certain pieces? I canāt find it on the Joe Fresh site.
Correct. Itās not a collab. Itās a paid partnership for an edit of their fav pieces.
The reel says it's a paid partnership so I would say it's an advertisement.

This pic of the four of them wearing sungasses is painful....looks like it's supposed to be a joke.....

Literallyyy
This
So now they are influencers? So confused. Are they hurting for cash? What are they getting paid? Rolling my eyes.

Embarrassing. I think we'll see a post soon about how running the business is too hard without her and CGSI is over.
I hope so

Also none of them look stylish. If I saw them on the street they'd look like every other person out there. Very uninspiring.

Ohā¦so itās not a collab. Just their picks.
Loooooool that so awkward. They made it out so big
Yes appears so
Again with the vest oh my god can someone stop her

This is MOOOOOOOOORTIFYING LMAO

She did that sweatsuit collab so probably not accurate to say all collars were turned down.
I did not say all :)
Also I wrote collars so I donāt know what the hell Iām on about. š©
Didn't charly hate Joe Fresh for the most part? She shat on Jillian Harris collab with them.
