00:40 Well, welcome to the Style Suite. What's your name? I'm Phyllis. So nice to meet you, Phyllis. So tell us more about yourself.
00:46 I'm a fitness instructor. I am always in athleisial clothing. I am ready to elevate my look. But it's got to look good on this body.
00:54 So I had something in mind for you, actually. What do you think of this? I love the color.
00:58 Okay, so I was thinking for you, I would definitely play with color. You do have a beautiful skin tone. Thank you. You're welcome.
01:06 And something with more, you know, fun prints. Bold, fun prints.
01:10 Okay, so here we are in our accessory station. We have some beautiful silver pearls from JC Penney that I think will look great on your complexion.
01:20 So let's start off with this bracelet. So wear silver. I think it will look amazing on you and help you compliment and elevate just your simple black look and just take it up a notch, you know?
01:34 Okay, do you want to try on the necklace as well? Okay. I think with your short hair, you could really play with hats. What do you think of this?

01:56 Oh my god. You look like you are ready to hit the town with the girls. Yes, Phyllis.
02:01 The JC Penney customer knows that being short on time and money does not mean you have to be short on your dreams. No, that's right.
02:09 Welcome to the Style Suite. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. What's your name? My name is Janiel. And what's going on? Yeah, what can we help you with today?
02:26 Okay, so my dad, my stepmom always buys him a lot of designer clothes and shoes. Okay. So he thinks he's making a statement by like just pairing everything together.
02:35 I want to know like how can he still feel like he's making a statement but not like pairing different designer clothes together all in one? I see. Okay, well we need to see dad. We need some visuals.
02:46 Dad sounds like something else. Let's see. Oh, okay. Now I see what you're talking about. Can we get him on FaceTime? We want to see what's up.
02:58 So what do you envision for him? Like what kind of a vibe do you want him to get? He's still gonna fly. He is. He needs to put it all together. We love a dad with character.
03:09 I'm with the Youssef. Hi, dad. Hi. We're here at the Style Suite by JCPenney and they were going to give you some style advice, okay? Yeah.
03:20 Well, we love what you have going on over there. You have a lot of character. But we just wanted to help you elevate that character just a little bit more.
03:29 Well, Danielle, we got some really great looks that we picked out for your dad that we know he's gonna love. Let me pick this up. So how do you feel about this? We can totally see your dad pulling these off.

04:25 No, but listen, I'm going to a wedding very soon. Like that? Like I really have to show out. Okay. Of course, I know a little bit of style, but I can't wear black to a wedding. No.
04:37 Yeah, and it's fall. I need you. I need your help and expertise to kind of elevate it and make it, you know, just pop it, not too much.
04:45 So I have the perfect look from JCPenney that's going to get you together and you're going to look stunning for your friend's wedding. Let me show you.
04:57 This is it. This is the one and not the two. Okay. Let me take a closer look. See, like even that burnt orange and that color on the skin. Yeah. You know that melanin is popping.
05:09 And then just how this ruching is, it creates structure and texture and shape to your body. Absolutely love this. I love the deep V. And we have the perfect necklace to go with this dress.
05:21 I'm going to show you that in a minute. But then you have the split is giving it's appropriate for a wedding. You know, yeah, just know. So I absolutely love this for you and your height is going to perfection.
05:33 Okay. You like it? Yeah. All right. Let's talk about some accessories. A lot of people don't know that that's actually the most important part of an outfit.
05:41 I'm very aware and I'm already liking a couple of pieces. So I need to see what's in your head. Yes. So now with the burnt orange, I'm thinking let's bring out that color more that warm tone. Let's go with gold.
05:51 And a trend for this season is layered necklaces. It's all about the statement necklaces. And I love a layered necklace.
06:01 I like it. I like it. Yes. And it's giving goddesses giving I'm here. And I love this last piece. So we're going to throw it all over. We're going to go all the way in. So yes, I think this would be perfect. And then with this layered necklace.
06:17 If you want to wear a bracelet, you can if you don't, that's fine too, because the statement is all here. JCPenney has great accessories. Yes, I love this. Yes, for every occasion. And I think this will be great for the wedding.
06:31 Let's do Did you know JCPenney celebrates small businesses, black fashion and black partnerships? Yes. Girl. Yeah.
06:41 Hey, girl. So what's your name? Remy. Oh, I love that. I love that. So what brings you to the style suite? What's your dilemma? So let me tell you about this dilemma. I've been married for 10 years. Love that.
06:55 My husband, he wears all black all the time. So I have a question. How can I get him comfortable with wearing different colors? I mean, first, let me see. Let's see. Okay. First, you guys are a beautiful couple. Thank you. But I get it. Black can kind of date you a little bit. Right. So we need to upgrade his wardrobe a little bit. So I got something great for you.
07:19 JCPenney has a fabulous men's selection. And I think it will help, you know, ease him into this comfort zone and kind of get him together. So let me show you a couple of options, which I think you're gonna like.
07:33 So here we have this suit worn by Michael Strahan. So good. I see that your husband loves blazers. Yes. This is a great tan blazer. It'll ease him into the comfort of wearing color. It's not too overbearing. And with his style, I think he can pull this off. I love it. Don't forget to check out Jason Bolden's new collection. It'll be great for you and your husband. It's unisex. That's dope. Thank you. Gotta make it count.
08:02 What's up? Hi, how are you? I'm good. How are you? What's your name? I'm Shondell. I love that. That's a very pretty name. Thank you. So what brings you to the style suite? Well, I really need help because I really want to embrace wearing necklaces. I have this love for my earrings, and I just don't know how to incorporate a beautiful necklace into my style.
08:22 That's easy. When it comes to accessories, JCPenney had you covered. Let's check some out. So JCPenney has great selection here. We have something that's a little bit more bold and that comes here, like close to your chest. But I think because you wear a lot of bold earrings, I think you need something that kind of drapes a little longer.
08:40 I love this, but I actually love this better because it's a little bit more versatile, right? So you can wear it to work. You can wear it out on a town, right, with some jeans, and then you can dress it up with a dress. Absolutely love this option. And silver, all the rage. It's a big trend for this season. And the pearls, I think that'll be great for you. Awesome. You want to try it on? Sure, yes.
09:02 I love this necklace on you. So now that we've found the perfect necklace, I have the perfect earrings. Oh, I love these. You like those? Yes. I think they look great with that necklace. You can really make your outfits count with some of the accessories from JCPenney. And this looks so good. I absolutely love it. You ready to see it? Yes. Okay. Great.
09:24 Yes, I love that for you. I love it too. It looks good. Do you feel comfortable now with earrings and then a necklace? Yes. And you see the proportion and how it works? Mm-hmm. I love it. Thank you.
