#sustainable #declutter #minimalism
I wish I was the lucky person who finds that yellow dress in a charity shop, I would wear it everyday! 💛 I love that everyones 'stapels' are different, it makes me happy for all the unworn clothes out there, and if we all shop and give away at charity shops more often, every item can find his true home 🍀
I know, I love wearing yellow ^_^
(and orange, for that matter)
I’ve done the “buy jeans a size smaller” thing, and then just had jeans that are too small and uncomfortable. Just get your normal size.
Exactly! If they stretch, you can either blast them on high in the dryer or, if you're being really clever, tailor them down and in the process get a perrrrrrfect fit.
I know... I bought a nice pair of high-waisted jeans that I was prepared to wear constantly, and I tried, but they never stretched properly and ultimately I avoided wearing them :(
The floral Ganni dress is simply gorgeous ! It suits you perfectly, great choice Jenny !
I save nothing anymore. If this year has taught me anything is just don't wait for special occasions.
I look forward to your videos like a child looks forward to gifts on Christmas morning!
the gray heels look so cool, and i would wear them a lot.
Me too!
x3
Oh what a pity! The yellow dress/trench really match with your undertone and could match too with your golden jewelry for a "sunny" look
If you end up staining the white pants, you could probably dye them depending on what material they are :0) my friend spilled red sauce on their favorite grey pants and now they’re their favorite light pink pants after a bottle of dye and some patience 😅👏🏻
Tomato sauce stains dissapear magically if you wash the garment and let it dry in the sun - stain side towards the sun:)
I really love these videos! I've definitely struggled with thrifting clothes that are very exciting and trendy and ending up never wearing them. Now, I put a LOT more thought into even the most basic pieces that I purchase.
This video served as a reminder to think of all the amazing pieces in my closet that I can’t wait to wear soon! First off I need to pull out my light blue winter coat, I think the temperature is fiiiinally cool enough to wear it out again 😀
this year i stocked up on these puffed blouses and some light yellow pieces, because it is exactly what I want to wear and will wear for at least the next 5 years. I have been waiting for a decade that they make them like this. I have worn these pieces every day since I bought them and I am still excited about them and look forward to wear them again next spring and summer.
I stock up like every 5 years when there is aparticular color or cut trending that I love.
Haha this is me this year with flared jeans! Waited for over 10 years for them to come back in style.
"Woke shopping"! You are always so adorable and witty... I subscribed basically immediately when I discovered you (back in the short hair, no eyebrows era) and I never regret watching any of your videos! Thank you, Jenny!
Thank you for working so hard on these videos for us!
thank you so much for watching !
Jenny, I love how you say' "The hips don't lie!" in such a serious, profound way! :D
one of the things I love about your videos is how to be stylish and timeless at the same.
I love your approach to fashion it makes me feel I can be/wear whatever I want without neglecting my moral system 💛.
Love! Do you think you could do a video about how to take care of different clothes/shoes/materials to make them last the longest? Would be so helpful as someone who's trying to tackle and tame her internalized consumerism tendensies 🙏
Regret:
1)a pair of men's jeans that are a little bit small. they aren't awful, just not the best fit. I still wear them sometimes, just not as much as my other jeans. i do appreciate the pocket size.
2) rainbow crop top. Its nice but it's a bit short to wear on its own. I do get a lot of use out of it because i love to layer a black tanktop over it, for a sort of y2k look, but i wish i had gotten a size up so i could wear it on its own if i wanted.
3)black button up polo. Someone gave it to me, and it is comfy, so i don't regret it too much, but polo really isnt my style. Sometimes i like to wear a t shirt over it and have the collar sticking out, but i don't like it otherwise.
enough of the negative. Lets end on a positive note.
hero pieces:
1) red jeans. I saw them at the thrift store when i went to buy a jacket and i told myself "no, i only came here for the jacket." and then left. A month later they were still there, so i went ahead and bought them (they were only $5) and they are now my favorite jeans.
2) checkered vans. I got them for my birthday and i love them to death. They definately have become quite worn, but they are still useful, and i will probably wear them past the point they should be thrown out. I've never had a problem with their pattern clashing with the rest of outfit.
3) black healed booties. They are quite plain, but they really do elavate an outfit. Unlike jenny, i find thick heals to be rather comfy. They also have anti-slip tread, so they are good in the rain, and since they are platforms, they keep my feet out of the puddles. i think a tall heal like that immidately dresses up a more casual outfit.
4) gray fleece shirt. this is another one i never really wear on its own, but boy am i glad i have it. it is the softest warmest material. I usual wear it under outfits when it's cold, but i don't want to wear a jacket that would cover up my outfit. Also works if it's extra cold, so then i can wear both the fleece shirt and a jacket. Also works great as a pajama shirt.
Read this recently somewhere.. 'Pockets in women's pants are like poetry. They need to be deep to be meaningful' Cheers Monstergirl Inc, thanks for sharing!
You write really entertaining!
Am I the only one who can’t bring myself to wear men’s jeans? I feel like a plumber and really masculine, idk why. I’ll stick to the women’s section lol
Jenny in the blue gucci skirt and blouse combo and the jacquemus trousers/white sweater combo is exactly what I imagine Camilla from Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" looks like
This is just an observation but do you wash the reversible jacket? I would not want to wear it after I have been sitting In any public seating area......
Shows Gucci Skirt. "Now i want to go a bit extra" shows Prada Headband XD You really killed me there!
I took a long-sleeve white cotton button-up shirt from Mum's wardrobe that she'd had since the 80s. I wore it so much that it became thread-worn and I had a bit of a KonMari moment where I thanked it for all it had done for me before turning it into rags. I haven't been able to find a top like it since, but seeing your linen white/black/blue collection made me realise it's possible!
you just reminded me to declutter my closet, i've been saving so many pieces yet, i don't "want" to wear them anymore, it's sad to let them in my closet for the dust to collect. i have regrets but they are going to better homes.
Is there a video where Jenny shares where she gets her tights? if not she should totally do one since she seems to wear them a lot!
If you are looking for more sustainable and good quality tights take a look at swedish stockings or dear denier. They both make great tights Im not sure dear denier ships internationally though
I'm pretty sure she mentions it in her winter layering video!
I really appreciate this video. It’s interesting to see your choices and examples. It is reassuring to know that you have regrets like the rest of us. This video helps to get me thinking about my choices and regrets.
I feel like you condemned the Balenciaga dress and the white blouse a bit too early.
I feel like I saw a knitted vest somewhere in the video which could work nicely with the blouse and the dress could work with the wide collar blouse you are wearing for the video.
Your videos inspire me so much 🌹 timeless and beautiful pieces at the same time🙏🏼
re-watching this ... i still love the jacquemus pants, they are so cool. thanks for making so many videos, they are so sane and serene and i feel less alone on a winter evening.
I absolutely regret buying a pair of Superga sneakers. I feel like they would fit you so much better than me. It was more of an impulsive purchase as I haven't had figured out my style at the time; therefore, I actually regret a lot of purchases. I always compare it to the psychological phenomenon of exploration and commitment (adolescence), even though you can, of course, change your style as often as you wish. Greetings from Germany xx
I regret pretty much any skirt I ever bought... I always feel like a granny in skirts
I feel like they never look as good as a dress. Except my pleated skirt. But it is allways hard to combine skirts. It seems like they go with everything in my closet, but they dont.
Me with every mini skirt i own, i look good but since i have long legs and a short torso y feel naked showing to much leg. I'll try to invest in black tights to cover up a bit.
I agree re-heels and white, I can’t wear either - I trip in heels and spill on whites immediately. Love that vegan coat, it is gorgeous and looks so COZY!!!!! For me a recent regret buy (online) was a slightly sparkly beige woolly poncho - super adorable, but heavy as heck, ugh! A recent hero buy was blue suede combat-style boots with a lug heel that make me happy with the pop of color and go with everything, I can’t stop wearing them! Love your videos! 😊
Nice video as always
I think you could easily dye the yellow dress if you like it that much, it’s gorgeous !
Honestly I’m a big picky shopper so I barely have any regrets, the rare times I do buy something a little more « extra » or casual I do love it but I would say my regrets buy are buying something too similar with something I already own, as I naturally go for the same things, I end up with multiple beige/grey plain jumper that are almost exactly the same or black high waist jeans that I can’t even tell the difference between
You should dye your white pants a dark color! Then you'll probably get a lot more wear out of them, as the fit is amazing
Dying light clothes into dark are sometimes not a good idea... As the stitches sometimes remains light even after dying it :/
Hi Jenny!
I think it might worth to try on the black dress and the white puffy sleeve blouse with all the other tops and bottoms in your closet. I feel there would be some very nice combinations!!!
Maybe it would even make a good video, we could tell you which combo is an actual winner. :-)
regret piece: long cardigans, they're impossible to pair when you don't wear coats because they look silly under a shorter piece of outerwear, I can't close them so I get cold and they just lie in my drawer ... their nice colors and soft but I only wore them ONCE. such a fail
I sometimes bring my longer cardigans in a bag with me, so I don't have this problem when I wear them to and from work or wherever. However, my winter coats are long enough for them not to be an issue
it's interesting because I have a white pullover with puffy shoulders and slightly transparent long sleeveles with little star model on it and I wear it so so often, feeling like it fits almost anything and it's also warm and looks classy
Aw, I loved the yellow dress! It looks great on you. As do those trousers.
Really enjoyed seeing how you styled all the pieces
I love wide, white trousers. I wear them in the summer.
Love your energy, style and bubblyness- so refreshing! Plus you are super pretty! Really enjoy your videos a lot
Yes! I love white sweaters and shirts and own many of them, but I won't wear them anywhere if I know I'll be eating. And I really like eating.
I just love your style, its definitely timeless
I loved looking at both your favourite pieces and your not-so-comfy pieces!
Personally, as a zero waster, I find a lot of products that are in the community, especially on Instagram, are very much tailored to consumption. Not many people talk about using up what you have and upcycling things first! Or just good old minimization of consumption : ). Like what is the point of buying cloth napkins or swiffer pads when you can cut up an old t-shirt and make one in 30 seconds? Never made sense to me and definitely there are things along those lines that I regret buying.
Omg that yellow dress! I need it
I was always wondering what was so capturing about watching you, I just now realised its your emotionless voice and mimicless face😅 (I’m saying in the best way possible💙)
Oh I love your style and even your sponsors are so good 👌 My hero piece this year hands down is a pair of boots from the brand Native. They are called Nova Hydroknit, I got them in colour black on black on black. Gosh they are so great. Plus they are totally waterproof and vegan. I wear them every day in the forest here and we’re already well into rainy season.
I am always happy to see your fashion videos! You have such a different style than most ecofriendly creators and we need more of that
Jenny *shops on Farfetch*
Me:... I need something new! *goes to father’s old closet* hey, a new sweater! *go to my closet, transform something* a new dress!
Then...
*sinfully browse on Zaful AND Fartfetched and like items I probably never buy*
I miss dressing up though. And lipsticks.
When it comes to jeans, don’t listen to the sales assistant when she tells you they’ll stretch in the waist. They won’t - you’ll be doomed to a muffin top for years to come. Or a high waist jean digging in.
There's a small book titled "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels, that's popular. I recommend it.
Your makeup looks amazing in this video! Could I ask what eyeshadow are you wearing?
What is this beautiful eyeshadow you are wearing? It is sooo pretty!
That tartan Fargetched dress and the Gucci skirt are so golden but img those feinged pants! Thank you for introducing me to Rombaut.
aaaw thank you !
It’s very interesting to see this kind of video from a minimalist creator, thank you Jenny! ❤️
The yellow dress is amazing
Oh gosh I feel right now I would have so many regrets over items this year!
I love how you promote cruelty-free fashion.
You make me feel calm.
I love GANNI so much! i have a similar dress than you and I LOVE IT and bought another dress from them and i love that one too! most worn clothing in my closet
Short puffy winter coat. Should have bought a long one. Not sure why I thought my hips and behind wouldn’t get cold too.
what is something you regret buying ?
Anything polyester
Hela min garderob förutom ett par jeans och en kavaj. Försöker bryta mina gamla fast fashion vanor och dina videos hjälper! Puss puss hejdå
All the accessories I have bought over the years when I am the type of person who doesn’t even wear them in the first place. So many rings, necklaces, earrings I have never used or used only once.
A Jim Thompson silk scarve in Thailand. Super afraid to reck it. Difficulty to style with the square shape. And just doesn’t suit my lifestyle unless I am going out somewhere fancy which isn’t in the cards lately. More of an expensive impulse buy on vacation and I regret it :(
A Cambridge Satchel in 2013, I saved up for it and even got my initials engraved into it so now I can't resell it :'(
what size is your ganni blouse? It's so cute!
After seeing this video I bought the FRONTROW X RECTO reversible vegan coat (I needed a new winter jacket in any case, have been looking for a while) and I have to say the quality is EXQUISITE. I'm not sure if I will keep it yet as it doesn't look as amazing on me as on you. I'm also used to "closed" sleeves that are windproof when cycling; I'm Dutch so I need that haha. But maaan it is a hard decision. It's such a good coat in general. And as I have no idea what I'll be doing in the next few months so I don't even know if I'll be cycling a lot. If you have tips (if you read this), please let me know haha. I'm torn 😂
I actually should have bought my COS jeans 2 sizes smaller :D They are huge now (my hips as well though!)
Hi, Jenny! I have been wondering a long time: Do you and David speak Swedish or English together? Hilsen fra Norge :)
what exact episode of the podcast is being played at the end of the video? if anybody knows
I'm thinking about buying and wearing white clothing and then just dyeing it burgundy/navy/charcoal once I get it stained. Haven't tried it yet, though.
#question to Jenny
Hello Jenny. What do you think about color analysis (12 types) to avoid color fashion trap? I went to some proffesionalist and I m a soft summer. I changed my blouses and I noticed and also my close persons that I look much better. Cpuld record a video about it? I m curios of your opinion.
These are great tips! and it is such an important topic to be discussing right now, I really enjoyed the video!
Hi Jenny! I Love your presentations!
I'm looking for linen jackets AND a blazer as of now.
I dye or bleach out colors I do not like anymore. It can be done on synthetics too. I have many pieces I won't wear because I'm afraid of spills or pet tears. Fabric protector wash does work.
the gray heels look so cool, and i would wear them lot.
please do a video on how to budget a whole new wardrobe makeover. i don't want to do fast fashion but I don't want to break the bank neither
I've lost a lot of weight as a result of major health changes and don't have the budget to get a new wardrobe of sustainable clothing (sad). Watching other people with their pieces makes me happy! {I've been surviving with belts, and got some things on super clearance thrifted or secondhand earlier this year, but have since gotten even smaller so every pair of pants I own is too big! US 8 --> US 2}
The linen shirts looks so comfy and stylish, so good idea 🙂
i regret getting really cute denim dungarees in size s right before puberty coz now i can't pull them past my hips and have to give them away, but my hero piece is a h&m blue asian fit jeans that slide easily over my wide hips, fit snugly at my narrow waist and isn't too loose or too tight even after puberty.
another hero piece is a pair of black high top sneakers i got on sale, they go so well with everything and make my outfits seem more put together
Dont throw that yellow dress! This yellow is so nice what are you... Omg what are you doing?? *Silently screaming*
I love your lipstick ! which one is this ? Thank youu
I don't have any regrets pieces because I am so picky when I shop and I immediately return the item if they are not ideal in any shape or form 😆
But I do have a hero piece that I bought recently from Gap. It is a white, thick, crew neck, tight knit sweater. I wish they had it in navy blue too because as you said spilling may cause problems. But if I wear white tops a lot anyways so that's a risk I am willing to take!
My only regret was buying white shirt dress with pifdy sleeves. I though it would be sooooo cool and it was but! I wanted to roll up the sleeves to make them even more puffy but it was imposible :( they were so tight near my hands that it was super uncomfortable to roll them up and when I puree them down it wasn’t the look i was looking for.
So glad that all the stuff you were worried about I got secondhand or from my mom.
my regrets this year are 2 jean jackets i got last august, a simple black one and a blue one with fleece
i wore the blue one a little more because it was my only chill weather but not winter piece, but the black one barely got any wear and it was quite expensive for what it is (and for my general buget)
i now almost hate the look of jean jackets but i'm trying to give them another chance in case i change my mind next year
The yellow coat also… it would look great on a brown colour…
Jenny! Can you pretty please make a video about your vegan Swedish Christmas smorgasbord. I'm celebrating with my boyfriend's swedish family who aren't vegan so I need to fend for myself. Any inspiration would be very much appreciated!
HIPS DON'T LIE hehehe love this video and some great lessons about how to choose what we buy!
I don't have any regrets this year because everything has been closed and I haven't purchased a thing
What is this lovely world where fashion is still relevant? *Cries in lockdownSinceMarch2020
Jk, jk... Love that coat. Also, if you wear those jeans while damp till they dry, they might stretch more. Though it might not be worth the effort.
Don't listen to the shop assistant, listen to your hips because hips don't lie
Enjoyed this video Jenny!
it got my like on the "hips don't lie" part
i bought this one black t shirt with some zipper details i thought i would like but the shape just wasn’t right, luckily when i did my rare clothes shop i ended up getting a wonderful pair of black and white striped pants that i wear all the time
omg we said HIPS DONT LIE at the same timeee how creeeeepy!!
Could you list your make up brands or do you have a video on that?
Great video 🥰
my regret pieces were often the thriftshop vintage pieces that looked cute, for ridiculous prices but were totally out of my style (like think winter pink secretary-like skirt or blouse of a terrible 80s sack-like poly material). Bought them, never wore them, gave them to charity. Now I only buy things in colors I actually wear and like and first thing I care about is material - is it soft,comfy and fluffy? Will I be able to sit in it in my office the whole day without sweat stains? Comfort first!
One thing that makes me decide to use certain items only a few times a year is that I tend to have anxiety-driven sweat, so wearing silk or poly tops and wool blazers can be tricky and wasteful. Putting period pads where the armpits sit is a trick that works, but it isn't worth it for every time I want to wear these items, especially since I don't go much outside except for my volunteering activities. I usually try to use my most well-kept pieces for the sparse occasions I get to spend time with my friends.
I’ve heard that you can get botox in your armpits and other sweaty places to limit the sweating.
@@TheGofia I don't think it's healthy though. The thought of jnjecting botox in my armpits doesn't sound appealing to me. I accepted that my body is like this. Thank you for caring though.
I also heard that if you put the item in a vinegar with water bucket to soak, the sweat will get out. After that you can wash it. Haven't tried it myself yet.
@@MindOfMine. I will try, but I'm afraid it could ruin some fabrics. I know it works for cat hair though, if you put the vinegar with laundry soap.
@@mimmikibilly Yeah it's a risk. But if you don't wear it anyway, there's nothing to lose :) And I hear some people use vinegar as fabric softener in the washing machine as well.
very pretty pieces! But I expect all the items in FARFETCH are quite expensive and we can't all get gifted items like you... :/
I do appreciate your honesty and saying you regret buying some items.
As Korean, I wish I could translate the brand name or thing you need to know about that vegan eco coat! Send me a photo if you need my help :)
May I ask why you dont wear wool? I now its a topic in the vegan community so would like to now your approach 😊
I'd love to know why, too!
Vegans don't wear, use or consume animals or their products. We eschew anything that belongs to animals like honey, silk, leather and wool. 💚🌿
Unfortunately the production process for wool is often really unethical and cruel for the animals, so many vegans avoid it altogether when they can’t be sure of its source/ethics.
I can't speak for Jenny's unique perspective on this, but I know many vegans (myself included) feel that any type of transactional relationship with animals leads to commodifying and objectifying them. Unfortunately, due to market forces, profit almost always becomes the primary motive and animal welfare suffers (smaller living spaces, separating mothers and babies, slaughtering animals once they're no longer profitable). Most vegans believe that animals do not exist to provide for humans in any way and should not be used for those purposes.
Where’s the pink belt from?
God I loved this vid!! So informative 🤍🤍
the hips don't lie ... still laughing
