Everyone is like:
"How does she afford it?"
And nobody remembers
*That's her job*
lol fr tho
Exactly
frrrr
Well and in another video she talked about how when she first started her channel she couldn't afford it all and that's what got her into thrifting!
Plus, brands will also gift her things, like one of the beige heels she showed, she mentioned in another video that they were given to her from the brand.
the only person i can watch thats talking about clothing for 20 mins
same lmao
Same I actually want this to be longer

"finding a good pair of jeans is like finding a f*cking rare pokemon"
I have ONE pair of jeans that actually fits and I take care of that pair like my family heirloom ok
Clara Yu same
Clara Yu ACTUAL SAME
I have a pair of blue jeans that I’ve been wearing for the last two years and finally found a good pair of black denim jeans a few weeks ago at a op shop lol. I feel like it takes years to find a decent pair.
Same
Same, cuz I have long legs and a tiny waste so I can't find skinny jeans that fit so I only wear baggy mom jeans now
yall need to remember that ashley is an adult. The clothes she invests in are probably going to fit her forever. If you're a teen with a really small budget who probably isn't going to graduate with half your wardrobe these are obviously not ideal pieces for you!! Just wait till you've stopped growing and your wardrobe will build up fast and you can buy expensive items
This 100%. I’m 24 and I’m in the process of investing into quality clothes. I’ve gotten rid of all of the Forever 21, H&M, Zara, etc in my closet and just shop at sustainable stores with good quality clothes or I buy from goodwill outlets and thrift stores. I started building a tiny little jewelry collection with real gold. It’s expensive but once you become an adult and start making more money, you’re able to spend more on items that you can invest in. When I was a broke college kid I would buy $6 tops from Shein or something and the threads would be loose upon opening the package and would fall apart in the washer. It’s cheaper and better for the environment to buy one good quality pair of $95 jeans that’ll last forever than buying a new pair of crappy $25 FashionNova jeans every 6 months. The difference in wearing the nicer clothes knowing they’ll last a long time vs how I felt in my cheap Forever 21 clothes is astonishing
Makes sense so not to contradict, I agree with that.
That is so true, I have a couple years of high school left so it makes more sense to build a wardrobe after that
@@trishaagz yea. I also get bigger clothes cos I just started high school and as a female I end my growth short earlier so after that I'm just gonna work on my closet but getting bigger clothes is my best option
Thank you this made me feel so much better
Remember guys, thrifting is an affordable way to look for essentials.
Yea if there was a such thing as thrifting where I live
If only there was thrift stores in the uk but like even if they did my parents would be like ITS SECOND HAND or GERMS etc
Vanila legit just wash it with a detergent. Like done. No germs. Good as new.
@@vanila6923 Charity shops o,o
i found my favorite black tshirt at a thrift store, so i would recommend
my friend asked me the other day “how do you look so cute every day? what’s your secret?” and i was like “i’ll never tell”
spoiler: it was this channel
this channel has honestly changed my fashion game 🌚
The fact that you tell us who don't care and don't tell the people who ask you and care!

The problem with this statement is that there isn’t even 200 languages but it’s still true 😂

What do you mean? Since when were we on quarantine? It’s 2019 for me!
when she said, “i don’t know if you went through this, but in middle school, every year, i would get so attached to one hoodie jacket situation, and i would wear that hoodie everyday, for the rest of the year.” i felt that skskskskskjf
sksksksksk spill the tea sis SkKskkKsk
Ughhh I’m living that it’s so frikin truuuuuue
oh my god that happened to me. I only wore one jacket for the WHOLE middle school
i literally wore a green bomber jacket almost ever single day in middle school and switched it out for purple university hoodie my freshman year of high school. i wore black leggings, white combat boots, and that hoodie to the point my mom had to hide it to stop me from wearing it.
YESSS lmao I remember what they looked like too

People commenting about money on Ashley's videos seem to forget that she's talking about INVESTMENTS... clothes and shoes that are meant to last. Instead of buying cheaper things that you'll keep having to replace, this is actually more cost effective in the long run. Also there are companies like afterpay and klarna which divide the cost of your purchase out into installments (really helpful). Ashley also believes in buying clothes sustainably, which often times is more expensive than bigger brands that cost less. And of course you can always thrift! Everybody deserves to look stylish, at whatever price is good for them.
Kaiapanda94 thank you for your words of wisdom.
That's exactly what i thought
Thrifting is amazing if you know what you're looking for! Goodwill is 👌👌
And it's not just hyper pieces tho. It was something you would wear for an extended amount of time and will never go out of style.
queen
*she is such a fashion intellectual WE STAN.*
no no she is not she really has no clue, she is beautiful so would look good in a binbag but fashion sense to give normal ppl advice defo not!!!!!!!!!!!
Odog Gow lmao what the fuck are u even saying
Odog Gow I don’t get this comment
Everyone in the comments is like the I’m broke and can’t afford it. The thing everyone seems to forget is that this is Ashley’s job. Having a good wardrobe is how she makes her money.
Edit: Hello! It’s me, two years later. I completely have a different opinion now than I did back then. The purpose of this video is to help OTHERS find clothes, so Ashley should be promoting brands that OTHERS can buy. It would be one things i’d these brands were particularly sustainable and long lasting, meant to be bought once or twice a year or last forever, but they’re not. I rescind my earlier statement!
Brooke but if it’s like essentials then people might expect it to be reasonable priced because they came for something like style
@@baddie969 precisely. Essentials should be affordable for the average person.
they are also forgetting that these pieces are sustainable and is meant to be worn for ages!!
@@NormallyImKim you don't have to buy the exact brand. just find something similar. the reason why ashley recommended these are 1) they're tried and tested 2) good brand 3) sustainable and good fabric 4) will last for a long ass time
@@NormallyImKim only wearing the essentials is more affordable than wearing fast fashion
Who else wears overized clothing cuz they insecure not cuz they trying to be cute
awww i used to be like that too (sweatpants+ sweatshirts) but I just love how our generation boosted everyones confidence
I think it’s pretty easy to incorporate the whole oversized look into your style! What’s most important is that your style makes you comfortable. I love the oversized look and I wish I could pull it off.
That’s because you haven’t found your style yet! Once you find a style that you feel comfortable and confident in, you won’t be as insecure anymore. Trust me I know.
Most of my wardrobe includes oversized hoodies case my parents a have a problem with legit everything I wear. I have never choosen an outfit with them not tearing me down about it. And when I try to dress nicely they act someone else is influencing me to do so. They don't know that they are the ones ruining my confidence. 😳😳😕
@@michie_cool4282 I have never related more to a comment than this one
Ashley pleeease can you make a video about stepping up basic outfits with accessories like jewellery, socks, bags, scarves, hats etc cause I never know how to style them xx
yes, please!!
Ooo yes
yes pls!
Tess and when should you cuff jeans etc.
YES
honestly you are probably my favourite UA-cam channel and I love everything you do because they all help me so much because my fashion sense is dire aha
If you love her you’ll also love Kristen Leo!! She makes the best fashion/budgeting/informative vids :)

this is what I look forward to the most each week. THX FOR YOUR EFFORT AND QUALITY CONTENT ASHLEY! You da best
also remember she’s talking about closet essentials not the specific clothes she’s showing
Hey!! Random stranger just wanted to ask you something.....
I am very skinny, very very skinny..
And you know whenever I tell my online frnds that I am skinny they thing that I look like Korean ppl you know....
But no.... I look very ugly and nothing suits me...
My mom buy me beautiful expensive cloths but nothing look GUd on me...
So was just wondering can you tell me what types of clothes should u wear...
@@Sneha-de9xu i don't know what type of clothes suits a skinny person (bc i'm not skinny), but maybe you should try 3 things
1. LOVE YOURSELF!!! stop saying you're ugly!!
2. Try the clothes that YOU like. It's not necesary to buy expensive clothes, just buy what looks good on you.
3. If none of this works, try using oversized clothing, so you will not look very skinny.
I'm sorry for any mistakes, i'm not very good at english ♡
@@Sneha-de9xu hey I'm skinny too! I think maybe dresses like the floral ones that go upto your knee (they look good on me). I am muslim so all of my clothes have to be a little loose and it looks good so try things that are a bit more loose.
@@Sneha-de9xu Hi! i could be considered pretty skinny. The first advice I have for you is to not call yourself ugly, because even if you DO look good in an outfit, you won't think so. This will do nothing for your mental health and your self esteem. I know it harder than it looks, but it's possible. Tell yourself everyday the thing you like about how you look and soon enough the "flaws" won't bother you so much.
The next thing I would suggest when it comes to clothes is find what you like! Wear the things you like. Quality is better than the quanity of clothing for sure in this regard.
Styling choices I personally think help as a skinny person is that I personally enjoy wearing slightly baggy shirts and tucking them in, if you don't like this look don't do it but it will make you look slightly less skinny and put together. If you like clothes with puffed sleeves I would wear them because it can help your shoulders be more broad looking, and in the fall and winter layering always looks good! I personally like long cardigans as well for this step, but you can do whatever suits you
you know youve watched too much of ashley when you can recognise almost everything in this video lol
YOOO SO TRUE SIS I RECOGNIZE EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO BUT HER NEW FAVORITE PAIR OF MOM JEANS AND HER BLACK LEATHER BAG
Lol true
You can never watch too much of ashley

@@maddygibson1694 Isn't that like Wish and Shein? Fast fashion like that is bad for the environment, poor quality, and most likely made by underpaid workers :(

lasya gundala you're broke! But so am I 😂
I would be broke if I spent my money like that..... I felt my wallet met Jesus when she said that!
Even if I wasnt broke I wouldnt spend $80 on a plain tee shirt, that's a little silly thb....
I was kind of surprised when she said that, but yet again it's about having a white tee not having an expensive tee.
@@selene4563 ye ig she just splurges on basics. I respect it...its just not me
Me, looking at my 12 graphic tees and 0 plain tees: "Hmm."
In my opinion, graphic tees can still look pretty good paired with a pair of jeans and a denim jacket.
Graphic Tees ROCK

We need that relatable attitude
She just Delta Burke’d us all 😂
The cotton/spandex tip is seriously the most valuable clothing lesson I’ve learned in a long time. I always hated how my jeans seemed to get lumpy and frumpy after a few wears, but the 100% cotton ones really do hold your booty and keep their shape SO MUCH better!
Forgot to add: Agolde from Aritzia makes super cute 90’s style jeans. They are expensive, but luckily Everlane makes a very similar one for $60 that is 100% cotton! (That’s the one I own haha)
I’m currently cleaning out my closet for stuff I don’t wear/doesn’t fit and HOLY HELL WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FLORAL PRINTS?!

Citrus 10 months, 1000 likes, and I’m the first to comment. I feel the *power*
Tip for everyone who can’t afford these brands: don’t focus on the brand name she is mentioning, and first compare the pieces she shows to what you already have in your closet (most of us actually have many of them) and/or make a note of the type of piece she mentions that you like, and look for it at thrift stores/affordable stores. “Beige cropped sweater, straight leg high rise jeans,” etc.
It’s about the style not the specific brand! 🙂
Mel W and the material of course! You have to make sure it will last, especially if you know your gonna wear it a lot

@@Sneha-de9xu late but if you want to hid the skinny part, then don't wear something tight. wear something flowy and maybe try frills (they're cute!)
you can also try to layer your clothes using puffy thing like; puffy sleeves for blouser, and then put some cardigan with wide leg pants(idk what they call but the one that is big around the ankle??)
if you're rich or something, try out a couple big hats!
thought you can just wear an over-size sweatshirt with a high waist loose pants(or smth)
I don't know much lol
@@Sneha-de9xu hey! I am a bit late, but try wearing less skinny clothes to hide the skinny parts of your body (if that's what you want). I think bell bottom pants look great on skinny people, so maybe try those. And also everything that @lovely mii said. and remember, expensive clothes and brands don't necessarily mean the clothes are gonna suit you. take time and study your body and different styles of clothes and I'm sure you're gonna find something :)
Also, go to a goodwill in a small city, or the edge of a big city, prices are still pretty cheap, there will be hundreds of jeans there.
As a Swede, hearing you try and pronounce ”fjällräven kånken” was hilarious so thank you for that.

i once bought a really cool designed black t shirt for 1 dollar in a thrift store, and it looked so new as well, i love thrifting
Well I had jeans : price 120.-
But I kept them 10 years
Italian handmade quality
It worthed it
(Sorry for english mistakes)
you're like one of those youtubers that when i'm stressed and scared late at night, your videos calm me down and help me fall asleep. idk if this is for anyone else but if i'm having a panic attack, ashley is just super calming
i also watch her when im sad at night, shes like a friend to me lol
i blame ashley for making me NOT watch any other youtubers ever again, i only watch her everyday and every night lol (i’m not complaining tho 😎 cos she’s the best) AND YES!!! SHE’S SO FUCKING CALMING THAT HER VIDS JUST EASE YOUR ANXIETY AND MAKES YOU LOVE YOURSELF AGAIN DAMN I LOVE HER
*Ashley models a shirt*
Me:that looks affordable
*sees price*

Honestly the hundred percent cotton is the best tip, I got good shorts at Primark for like 15 euros so don’t worry about the prices here but the tips!

80 dollar for a white shirt? Girrrrrrrrl my wallet's gonna cry:')
I do hate how cheap white shirts are so translucent. I understand a bright coloured bra standing out, but if I go to target to get a shirt, it's usually so translucent you can see my belly button.
im crying she said check out more affordable t shirts like everlane

Ashley: a stiff denim is gonna last longer and not rip in the crotch like jeggins
My thick-thigh-having self: *awkwardly looks over to the literal pile of stiff-denim pants in the corner of my room bc they rip after like 6 months and i refuse to throw them out bc theyre not that old yet even though theyre basically unwearble *

Same!!
"You know when you hold something that's actual ly well made?" that's exactly how i feel when watching your channel, i know im getting actual good advice and content and it even gets me out of my comfort zone :3
Watching this as a sophomore in highschool, it was not realistic for me to build an entire closet like this right away, but now as a senior in college I feel like my closet is finally at this point! So if anyone is watching this and feeling like this is unobtainable, it’s because on short notice, IT IS!! And that’s ok. Building up a closet like this takes time but starting out with a few of these pieces will still add so much to your wardrobe. Since highschool, my style has developed a lot more but this video was such a good foundation for me and my closet, I hope people continue to find it :)
"The middle school hoodie..." Glad to hear it wasn't just me going through that phase lol
cameron gay i had that with shoes lol
me with my hufflepuff sweater...
i was always in my H&M black hoodie literally EVERY day, even the summer.
I had that but with a really ugly camo sweater. I didn't realize until after I stopped wearing it that it said Tokyo and smth cringe on the back
Oh god same 😂
“FALAFEL KADJANKEN”
Love how you try to say Kånken, always wanted to know how non Swedish people thought it was pronounced!
I have never heard any non -Swedish- Nordic person pronounce it the right way 😂 Someone (swedish) should make a video of how to pronounce it
Isabelle there are. I have never watched any myself because I am Swedish though 😂
@@rosalyngummer6587 Yeah I am Swedish too :) If you listen to the top videos that come up when you search for it, you will hear that the pronunciations are still really questionable 😂 Or they don't even get it right, like the channel "how to pronounce"
Isabelle can you spell out the pronunciation
sksksk in singapore, everyone gives up and just says kanken

12:27 “crew neck sweaters are so boring and unflattering”
Me: oh (burns 70% of my wardrobe)
i love crew necks so much 😂 i have a school sweater i bought that has a hoodie but instead i stole my boyfriend's crew neck and gave him my hoodie since i like crew necks 😂
Why is this me
crew necks are the absolute best. keeps you warm and hides your titties, just the way i like it
Nope nope nope. I mean I only have like one (I passed them to my sister as hand-me downs because she liked them), but it’s your style you know? Like you can pair them with things that make you feel well dressed. The one that I have is from hm and I got it oversized. It has bell sleeves and I wear it with a pencil skirt and loafers.
To everyone bitching about being broke, just buy cheaper versions! they’re not gonna last nearly as long or look as nice but it doesn’t mean that you can’t buy from other brands. Y’all are over dramatic 😂
Edit: omg everyone is freaking out about the 80 dollar tshirt when she showed a 4 dollar one right after 😂
T-H-R-I-F-T!
Yes idk why everyone makes jokes about being broke, there are *cheaper* alternatives that Ashley even *shows*, like calm down people
Even her 80 dollar t shirt won’t last. The color is absolute trash
ughhh mcrbinch No, you won’t last.
@@eh5958 nice one
your videos helped me find my style so much!! when i first started watching you i wore skinny leggings, tight crop tops that didn’t fit and uncomfortable primark clothes. i was scared to be girly and to express myself while also being comfortable, and having valid opinions. now i dress like i live in a cottage, sometimes hippie/punk, my style is so much nicer and i’m so much more confident! it boosted my confidence in my body, my personality (my clothing not reflecting who i am as a person) and feeling comfortable in my femininity. deadass i owe it to you so thank you 💕💕
I'm coming back 4 months after watching this video to share a PSA: EXPENSIVE JEANS ARE NOTICEABLE! I never cared too much about jeans because they're expensive as heck, but after I got smarter with shopping I'm never going back. I've never bought an expensive pair of jeans for full price but thanks to depop I have 4 pairs of vintage and/or name brand 100% cotton jeans and since then my jean radar has been beeping. I don't know how, but I really notice jeans in an outfit now. Even when browsing on depop I can tell whether or not jeans are good quality or not just from the picture. And that means I notice on the daily with people I meet, too. Obviously it doesn't matter in the long run if people have good jeans on or not, but good jeans do stand out. I've become more confident when I wear jeans because I know they fit well and look good. I really agree with Ashley that a good pair of jeans changes the whole game. But if you don't have the $100 to spend and your thrift store is an abyss of grandpa clothes, definitely try depop, there's so much selection.
I'm
It's been 4 months, come back Jack
The day I find a pair of jeans that actually fit I will rejoice😂🤪
Ikr, none of my Jean's fit 😅

En tråkig tjej 😂😭
didi just full-on take notes while watching this?
yes.
yes I did.
and i regret nothing.
i feel this bc i've been saving this vid forever so i could just sit down and take notes on this i-
Girl??? $70 for jeans?? That can’t be the best option aside from thrifting bc im gonna cry.
My suggestion for good jeans is to try them on in stores that are too expensive for you (like the $70 ones) and then look on Poshmark and Ebay for the same size and fit. That's what I do with Everlane pants and it has worked well for me.
Justina Kenyon omg i didnt think about that!!
Shop sales
runchranda xo she mentioned in the beginning that a lot of the items were sustainable, and usually sustainable items are going to be on the pricier side, but they’ll last you a very long time !
Many of the brands she mentioned have sales several times a year. Fashion e-commerce websites like Shopbop have good sales too. Also check out cash back websites!
When you have strict parents and is only allowed to have: one pair of waterproof boots one pair of normal comfortable shoes. And one pair of hiking shoes. And they gotta be under 55 dollars.
Story of my life
Yeah pretty much. I have sneakers (crappy $9 ones from Walmart), winter boots (also from Walmart), flip flops, converse and uggs, but the ugg boots were given to me by my aunt, my flip flops I was given at a birthday party and my converse I got because I finished pre-algebra early. But I try not to be annoyed bc my parents can’t afford to buy me a ton of shoes because our family has other things we need to spend our money on.
Same here, I’m getting my mom into letting my thrift so it’s ok, Ashley is speaking from a prescriptive of an adult with her own money so it’s different.
I think u should make a video telling your parents about ur UA-cam channel
Also love ur channel ur like one of my fave UA-camrs
Edit: omfg I’m famous guys 🐝
ooh yeahhhh that’d be fun
Nah this video idea has to happen 😂 no joke
Nah, that's a super personal and family oriented thing. Better to keep that within the family. Ashley is great because her content is so genuine, I feel like exploiting her parents' reaction would be kinda out of place.
Yeah I guess 😂🐝
But I could be a story time or something
For Madewell bring in an old pair of jeans you want to get rid of (any brand) and they'll give you a 20 dollar discount on a new pair! If you wait until they have store-wide sales and use this discount the jeans get way more affordable (and you get to recycle your denim instead of throwing it out! Yay sustainability!)
Cool
no way really! i love madwell ! i have a few pairs I would like to get rid of but dunno if they'll take all of them?
time to get some coint
linamarr put on a fake mustache and ask them.
if they say no you can just come back to the store and noone will remember you!
win win
@@untitled1464 they'll actually take as many pairs as you have, but you can only use one discount per new jean. So if you have four pairs of jeans you want to get rid of, you can get 20 dollars off four separate new pairs of jeans! So you can't get a new pair for free or anything (unfortunately!)
one time when i went to abercrombie, i found the exact jeans that I wanted and it was MAGICAL
oh my god thats fabulous
Congrats girl
Congrats, but Abercrombie is hella expensive ;-;
I found my pair of magical jeans and I can't stop wearing them haha
One time I went to abercrombie, saw a 52 dollar shirt and left
I started watching your channel when i was 16 and now am 20 amd i still watch these for comfort, its just unexplainable ❤
literally where i am rn!!!!
Try to find dc martens at thrift stores I found a pair for 6$ and since a lot people got out of their 2010 edgy phase there’s probably more out there lol edit- Just look
It kinda depends. Make sure they aren't in horrible condition. I've seen people DESTROY docs (idek how, they are so sturdy it's rather weird). Most docs you buy new they kinda form to your foot over time, but it depends on how much you can spend. Not one of the thrift stores near me has docs. You could also try eBay, poshmark, Craigslist
I wish thrift stores in my city had better quality brand shoes. they sometimes have Adidas or Nike but they are always ripped, scratched and dirty
0_Emilly_0 try going to like “old people towns” you’ll find better things then from bigger cities like LA If you live in Alberta Canada check out red deer for thrift stores it’s normally pretty good there lol
Gianna Person mine seem fairly new I must’ve gotten lucky lol
Luna Yeah and eBay! If you really dig you can find great deals
"I would recommend Aerie... This is my favorite bralette..."
*cries in DD*
The struggle is real 😂 i bought a bralette in my exact usual top size last year and im a g. But it was a plus size brand so ya know. Theory was it would fit. Barely covered the nips went straight back to the store. The day i find a bralette brand suited to my boobs is the day i die happy 😂

Me: cries in broke
Blossom FieryFlower I think you misunderstood the point
40$ for a pair of jeans is too much for me 😬 cries in broke
It's worth it to save up for jeans because you can rewear the same pair all the time and they don't need to be washed very frequently. Maybe you could find a cheaper but good pair at a thrift store?
Anything higher than $15 is expensive.
Edit: Only shoes and jeans I can except.
35$ is the most I've spent on a pair of jeans lol

EEE E E EE EE EEE E EEE the clothes she buys is sustainable and long lasting
100% denim is unlikely to cost that little but thrifting helps a lot or checking outlet shops. I got Levis jeans for 15 dollars once 😍 but my other Levis are a 100 so yeah, really depends on how lucky you are!
