Hey everyone, it's Em and welcome back to my channel, Norapiece or Notations. I'm so excited to be kicking off a new video series today on my channel where I'm going to be comparing high end products with low end products, you know, knockoffs, doop is just like a nicer way of saying knockoff for anyone who doesn't know what that means. And yeah, I'm kicking off a series with a fashion doop. I imagine that most of these videos are going to be about beauty doops just because that's more economically feasible for me personally. But I'm starting off the series with fashion doops with this IMG teddy bear coat that you guys may have seen in my birthday video if not, I will link that down below in the description box. And yeah, I mean, I love this coat. This was a solid birthday gift. I've styled it on my blog a few times already. I will also link those posts down below. For those of you who don't know, I have a main blog. This channel is like an offshoot of my main blog. And also I've been posting pics on Instagram so you can follow me on Instagram to keep up with that. But self-promotion aside, I love this coat. And it comes in three different colors from IMG. It comes in red. Well, it might have come in more colors. But I only know three comes in red. It comes in tan. And it comes in black. So obviously I have the red one. And I contemplating getting the black or the tan one when my best friend, Cardolin, who was in my Riley Rose video, which I will also link down below if you don't watch that. She's my best friend from college. Yeah, Cardolin sent me an Amazon link to a dupe of this IMG a coat. And I love Amazon, so I was immediately intrigued. And then that kind of inspired me to make this video because I was just curious. I ordered it because I ordered stuff on Amazon all the time anyway. And I ordered it. And I was also just really curious to see how good of a dupe it was. Because it was significantly cheaper. The Amazon dupe is less than half the price of the actual IMG01. So that's a huge difference. And it had good reviews. So yeah, I was intrigued. And it's actually sold by Shoes, interestingly enough. Shoes is similar to she and those are to Asian clothing websites. And yeah, Shoes also sells stuff on Amazon, which I did not know. But yeah, so I got the Shoes dupe in tan. And I think this tan color is lighter. I mean, darker is darker than the IMG a tan version. I'll throw up some picks to compare. So these are picks of the IMG version. I mean, everything is edited nowadays, so like who even knows. But I'm pretty sure that this tan color is a darker shade. I didn't want to get red because like I already have red. So I wasn't going to have two red teddy bear coats. So that's why I got the brown instead. So I'm going to compare these side by side. And I'm also going to try both of these on. So you guys can really see how each one looks. So here's my side by side comparison of each coat. This is the IMG one. And this is the Shoes one. They're both size small and they both have pretty similar lining on the inside. But let's talk about the outside. So believe it or not, the Shoes one is much softer than the IMG one. I know, it's surprising, right? Like this is actually pretty rough and pretty coarse. But this one is like teddy bear level soft and cozy. So if you're looking for that soft cozy feel, Shoes beats IMG. And in terms of length, this is the bottom. And this is the bottom of the Shoes one. The IMG one is a little bit longer than the Shoes one. So if you want a more cropped look, I would say go with the Shoes. If you want a longer look, maybe your taller, then I'd say the IMG one is your best bet. And comparing pocket size, the IMG one also does have bigger pockets than the Shoes one. So I don't know if you care about having big pockets, then IMG wins in that category. But they both have pockets, which is honestly, you know, with women's clothing, like a blessing, because clothes never have pockets. Now I'm wearing the IMG one. I've already dressed to you guys could really see how long each coat is. So this is pretty much as long as my dress almost. So my dress comes down to like mid thigh. So yeah, you guys can see lengthwise and I'm 5'2 for the record. So this is how it looks on a 5'2 person, such as myself. And remember, this is a size small. And as you can see, it's pretty baggy, pretty huge. I mean, I like it. I love the oversized look. But yeah, I'm like kind of drowning in fabric a little bit, but that's the style. And this is the Shoes one. As you can see, it is a lot shorter than the IMG one. And it's also a lot tighter. I'm not really drowning in fabric, like I was at the IMG one. So if you want a tighter fit and also a shorter fit, I would definitely recommend the Shoes coat. And this is also a size small. So there's a huge difference in Shoes small versus IMG a small. And as you can see, you couldn't really tell when I was doing the side by side comparison on the bed, but you can definitely tell in these try-ons. So that's it. Hope you guys enjoyed it and found it insightful and informative. I honestly think this is an amazing deal, this Shoes coat. I mean, yes, it does fit differently than the IMG one, but it's so much softer and it's less than half the price. So if you've been less than after the IMG one, but didn't want to drop, you know, the $80 dollars a cost, then I would strongly consider the Amazon slash Shoes Dope. And I have linked both coats down below so you guys can shop those links.
