Though Stacy London once joked about not getting out of bed for less than $10,000, it appears she's changed her tune. The fashionista rose to reality fame with her long-running TLC hit What not to Wear, which ran for ten seasons before it was cancelled in 2003. Her second series, Love, Lust or Run, failed to gain traction, and after a few cameos on The Rachael Ray Show and a book tour, London found her life in shambles. She was broke, her health was deteriorating, and she couldn't find a job,
"For me [2007] was a financial, physical, emotional s**t show (and after 2016, that's really saying something)," she wrote in a Refinery29 essay. "So, by the time the year was up, I wasn't just almost broke, I was broken. Because when s**t happens, no one necessarily tells you s**t can get seriously expensive, too."
After a wake-up call from her accountant, the reality host reportedly stopped spending cash on expensive vacations, fancy art, and mountains of clothes. She doubled down and got a real job — one where she doesn't have to don fancy clothes at all. As of this writing, London is a freelance writer with essays in publications such as Cherry Bomb. She's also "a prolific fashion influencer with 275,000 followers on Instagram," according to Spectator|USA. She also sponsors a fashion program for kids at Pioneer Works and occasionally wears a statement hat.
