5. The speaker is comparing the fall trends of different stores, including the use of faux fur and shearling. [Source: Document(page_content="00:13:11.23: the pants I also liked the denim jacket and the non prescription glasses I've never worn any before and they actually make my vision worse but I like the look so that was my week dressing like a store mannequin given that it is the turn of the season it is fun to see what some of these big retailers think that the fall trends are but I was definitely surprised by a couple of things firstly by how much faux fur and shearling there was everywhere I feel oh so fluffy and also how difficult it was to find all of the individual items because a lot of them were very scattered and some of them were not even available on the store floor I figured that the outfits weren't that wearable but I was actually surprised by how unwearable the stores seemed to also think they were there are some exceptions to this like H&M kind of Francesca's maybe kind of Hollister even but for the most part it's just an attention game all in all it was a fun week dressing like store mannequins but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to other people there were some uncomfortable moments you know mannequins don't have to walk on cobblestones or sit in cars and you also end up with a lot of accessories that you don't really know what to do with but at the end of the day
