0:00.0	Okay, real talk. I have reached the age where I am done buying things just to buy things.
0:07.0	Same here. If it's not versatile, well made, and actually worth it, it's getting left on the rack,
0:12.8	which is exactly why we're obsessed with quince. Amy, feel this silk cammy that I have on.
0:18.7	It's my absolute favorite.
0:21.8	It's not only chic.

1:11.3	You don't need a closet full of options.
1:13.7	You need pieces that actually work.
1:15.8	So right now go to quince.com slash shameless for free shipping and 365 day returns.
1:21.8	That's a full year to wear it and love it.
1:24.2	That's Q-U-I-N-C-E.com slash shameless. Now available in Canada, too. Don't you know?
