hey kids
so I already tried to record this video
once and I literally spent 3 hours
filming and let me tell you it was an
absolute [ __ ] ah but I am really
but so I liked um so I like that these
have woo hoo I think I drink too much
kombucha and matcha today and I'm like a
little bit jittery but tired at the same
time because it's like 6 o'clock I'm
very confused
I tried filming that the day that all
the World War 3 memes came out and I
think it shows in the video in the back
of my head the entire time I was just
thinking like holy [ __ ] I hope I don't
die or worse be forced to become a
housewife anyways now it's a couple days
later in the general existential dread
has just settled in a little bit more so
I'm doing fine I got sick again even
though I was sick literally last week
not only that but I'm on my period again
for like the second time in three weeks
so anyways World War three jokes aside
and more politically relevant news today
I'm gonna be talking about some cute
clothing that I wore this year I thought
this would be an interesting video to
make because I feel like nowadays we get
very overwhelmed with like millions of
choices of fashion items millions of
fashion trends every single [ __ ] thing
the Kardashians wear becomes like an
instant trend there's just so much
fashion out there that it could be
really hard to figure out in the long
term what is a purchase that actually
fits well into your wardrobe that makes
you feel comfortable and makes you feel
like yourself and what is just kind of
like a fleeting trend or something that
might look cute on somebody else but
doesn't actually work for you and I am
definitely still on my learning curve
when it comes to this I have made my
fair share of like dumb as [ __ ]
purchases this year but I think this
year has also been the first year that I
have started building like a wardrobe
with a strong foundation that I'm
actually really proud of it's the first
year that I've started investing in some
really good quality pieces that I feel
like I'm gonna own for a really long
time so I do think I have some good
wardrobe staples to recommend to you
guys I think I
pretty good mix of items that are
thrifted from more affordable brands and
from more expensive investments brands
here so hopefully there is something for
everybody here I do feel like our little
Best Dressed community is going through
a little bit of a transition right now
as some of you guys are starting to
graduate like me and you're having your
first full-time jobs with disposable
income some of you guys are like
full-blown adults with career and some
of you guys are still in college or high
school and you might be saving up for
your education or paying off debt or
supporting your families and I feel like
everybody has very different price
ranges right now so I'm trying to like
jump the gap and provide options for
everybody hopefully that is helpful okay
cool let's jump in so first up I wanted
to talk about the granddaddy of all
basics which is a good pair of jeans
maybe should be this whole thing and
just like lying down nope I've been
through more jeans this year than I've
been through boys and that is saying
something but unlike in my romantic life
I have found to keep her when it comes
to denim haha yes that's right folks I
have finally found the perfect pair of
jeans for these these jeans and I are
getting married in the spring in the
Hamptons
the theme is Canadian jump suit we're
going for a plant-based rustic wedding
we're gonna have lots of burlap what
we're going plates because plates are
actually a social constructs anyways
these are named Levi's rib cage jeans I
actually bought them like a month and a
half ago but they are still my most worn
jeans because I have worn them nearly
every single day since I bought them
what I love about these is that they are
a very stiff denim that is a high
percentage of cotton now they are kind
of a [ __ ] to break in because the
material is so tough but I love stiff
denim because it lasts so much longer
than like your stretchy flimsy jegging
material and it doesn't rip around the
crotch which is like my number one thing
that I need in a pair of jeans I don't
know what is going on in my crotchal
region but like oh boy she works through
jeans like nothing else sorry it makes
it sound like I hump a lot of things in
my jeans I swear I'm just like a regular
person who walks in though I also love
how high waisted these are I am a
high-waisted ho what can I say I think
these are like a 12 or 13 inch rise so
they really go up above your belly
button they suck you in for me that's
perfect because I own a lot of crop tops
but I don't really like showing my
stomach and I like that these jeans like
go up right to where my crop tops and
and thirdly the length is perfect for me
normally when I get straight leg jeans I
feel like they're jeans that are made
for like models who are you know five
nine six two and wear size 13 Nikes so
normally I have to cut off the bottom of
my jeans or alter them so that they are
ankle height but IM five five and the 27
inch inseam was perfect for me they do
offer a 30 inch inseam though if you are
struck with the plight of being a tall
girl these are the perfect jeans if you
have a more straight up-and-down figure
but i will say there is not that much
room for your hips or but i do not have
the most glue yes in my Maximus and
these are still pretty tight around my
butt so if you are curvier I would
recommend a ritzy 'or made well they
have really great quality jeans that
still have a little bit of stretch in
them and if you're on a budget I would
recommend American Eagle or Abercrombie
jeans when they go on sale and you can
get them for around like thirty five to
forty dollars my most warranty shirt
from this year which you guys are
probably sick and tired you're [ __ ]
seeing in every single video is my Guns
and Roses teeth no I don't know a single
one of their songs but I do know every
band number Social Security number I got
this secondhand from an Instagram shop
called shop underscore Jen I really
would recommend Instagram shops or D pop
shops for graphic t-shirts if you're new
to the whole world of buying secondhand
and vintage I think that t-shirts are a
great place to start because you pretty
much already know how they're gonna fit
and it's a lot less intimidating then to
buy from like addi pop shop that doesn't
have a return policy or something like
that now the reason I wear this shirt so
much first of all is just really
comfortable but secondly I have found
that the colors on this graphic match
perfectly with the color scheme of my
closet for example there are some dark
green leaves that go well with these
dark green corduroy pants that I have it
has these red roses that tie in with red
bottoms that I have I even have this
leather jacket with like a red lining on
the inside and those little like colors
match up and then make the outfit look
really cohesive so I would recommend if
you guys are shopping for a graphic
t-shirt kind of dissect the colors and
think critically about like each color
in the graphic whether it would
compliment items that you already own
next up I have this talk which is kind
of my upgraded version of a white
t-shirt this is a really comfortable
flow
that is just as comfortable it's a
t-shirt but it is elevated by this lacy
detail around the collar and the sleeves
also if you want evidence as to how much
I wore this it's literally pilling at
the front and I didn't even know that it
was physically possible for satin to
pill that is how many times I've worn
this top I think everybody has a
different version of their go-to cute
top you know like the top that you wear
with jeans when you don't really know
what else to wear but you want to look a
little bit cute that day but it's like
still kind of a no-brainer outfit for me
I really like something that is flowy so
it's nice and breathable for the summer
that is cropped so I can wear it with
high-waisted jeans and a high-waisted
skirt and not have to think about
tucking it in and I like an open
neckline because what that's adding to
conceited I just really think that I
have a good collarbone area and it is
one of my favorite parts of my body to
show off so yeah I think this highlights
it well and it's very like easy breezy
covergirl
[Music]
my last hop is a few good old comfy
hoodie now you guys probably don't see
me wearing this too much unless it's
like in a me at link clip in one of my
videos but pretty much any time that I'm
having a day in editing lounging in my
bed crying myself to sleep this is the
top that I'm wearing we've been through
some tough times together baby now when
I'm at home I love being comfortable and
cozy and like a giant sweat pant potato
as much as the next person but I have
found that if I wear like super lumpy
gray sad sweat pants and sweatshirts for
too long I will just like lose my sense
of humanity I'm speaking from personal
experience because I did this in high
school a lot I would just feel like such
a lump and I wouldn't be motivated to
get out of bed or to get my work done I
really do think that even when I am
alone fashion affects how I feel about
myself and for me that is like the power
of fashion right not necessarily
dressing up to look attractive for other
people but being able to like put on
something and feel motivated and
confident so for me even on my days when
I am completely alone at home I like
having a hoodie that is still kind of
cute it's in like an uplifting color
it's a crop silhouette so it still looks
really cute with high waisted leggings
or high-waisted shorts and it just makes
me feel motivated to get my work done
while still being really comfortable
this is a champion hoodie and I have to
say champion had the biggest blow up of
the past decade and that is saying
something because I did not start off
the 2010s looking too hot either but
remember when you could buy champion at
Target for like $10 and now like I
honestly respect the [ __ ] out of this
company because their material is so
good I didn't think that hoodie material
could be better than regular hoodie
material but like it really is their
fabric is soft it is sturdy and it lasts
so [ __ ] long I have washed and dried
this hoodie I think like 60 times since
I got it and it is barely pilling at all
it almost looks brand-new so I am really
impressed with the quality of this
however if this is a bit pricey for you
I would recommend checking out your
local thrift store and just taking
scissors and cutting off the bottom of a
hoodie to make it cropped now this is my
most worn a dress of the year this is
the first date dress for me I think I've
worn it on like literally every first
date that I've gone on this year and
this is also my go to like throw it on
in five seconds but I still look like I
really tried outfit everybody's go-to
dress will be different but for me I
love a fit-and-flare silhouette if I'm
going out on a date or I'm just like
existing as a regular person I'd like to
be able to eat and drink and still have
room to feel really comfortable in
whatever I'm wearing I spent like the
majority of college sucking in my
stomach and I'm just like so over it
flat stomachs are a social construct
2020 spent so much my [ __ ] life being
self-conscious about my body and non
this decade ladies I also look for
dresses that work with bras that I
already own that sounds so [ __ ]
obvious but you would be surprised with
how many dresses are like backless
strapless have the most complicated like
bondage style silhouette and then you
need like pasties boob tape an entire
construction crew to like hoist up your
boob I have definitely fallen for that
trap a couple times and been like it's
not too bad I'll just put on pasties but
when it comes down to it on the night
that I want to go out I cannot bring
myself to like stick my nipples on to my
boobs I just go for something like this
which just works with a bralette
and finally when it comes to dresses fit
is key now this dress is from quite an
expensive brand it's called privacy
please and I actually love this dress
brand
secretly more than Reformation
Reformation I still love you but this is
like my mistress however you do not need
to spend that much money on a dress you
can buy one in the sales section you can
buy something much more affordable and
either learn to alter it yourself take
it to your mom to help you out and get
her to teach you how to sew or you can
take it to your local tailor tailors are
such like an underrated part of our
economy they are so talented and they
are actually not that expensive I will
put up some cute dresses here but really
you can find them anywhere and it's all
about finding a fit that works for you
next up we've got my colder wait
overalls for like three weeks after I
bought these overalls I would not wear
anything else I wore these nearly every
single day in every single video I don't
know what it is but these overalls just
make me feel like I can get anything
done I feel like a very chic Bob the
Builder which is honestly all I aspire
to be I love wearing these with
t-shirt underneath while I am editing or
making over my apartment or painting and
it just makes me feel super productive
or when I'm going to a social gathering
I'll wear these with a bralette and
nothing else underneath so it's like a
little bit of sexy side torso and they
make me feel very confident and cool and
like tucked in now I think this is a
hashtag just social anxiety things but
when I go out and especially when I'm
hanging out in a group setting or with
like a new friend who I don't know too
well I think a lot about how I hold my
body and whether it is like normal to
other people I just become very like
conscious of my limbs and whether they
are in a normal position so I feel most
comfortable in a piece of clothing where
I can sit crisscross applesauce or I can
put my hands in my pockets because I
just feel like ease in those positions
sorry like I hope that you guys don't
really because it's um kind of sucks
yeah these overalls have been my new
go-to for social gatherings because they
make me feel a little bit more
comfortable yay anyways I think the
moral of the story here is not
necessarily that you guys need to buy
corduroy overalls but I think that
everybody has a different article of
clothing that makes them feel really
confident and like themselves and that
is like the best thing to buy for
yourself
next up for bottom's I have sorry I was
just thinking about all of those videos
that pop up them I recommended that are
compilations of Jade West from Victoria
stopping bottoms for like four minutes
straight um is it just me or does the
algorithm like really think that I'm gay
anyways here's this skirt I never would
have guessed that a tan skater skirt
would be a wardrobe essential for me I
always hear people talking about black
skirts or denim skirts but for me this
has just been the perfect skirt that
goes with all of my outfits I like how
it's like a little bit schoolgirl chic
but not super in-your-face like porno
choke me daddy it just kind of like
whispers choke me daddy something that
people don't talk about enough is having
skirts that are actually made of like a
sturdy thick fabric that make your butt
feel like secure I'm so [ __ ] tired of
these like flimsy forever21 brandy
melville skirts that feel like somebody
gently laid tissue paper over your but I
love the mister release stays off at my
waist and it's a sturdy enough and thick
enough fabric that I can tuck in
oversized t-shirts or bulky thrifted
tops and the fabric is thick enough that
you don't see all of those additional
like folds and layers from my shirt
this skirt is also the perfect length
that I can twirl I can move I can walk
around and my ass will not be out
nothing is worse than having to do like
body con miniskirt shuffle all day and
like constantly pulling it down because
they ride up your butt this skirt is
from Los Angeles apparel which is owned
by the same guy who owned American
Apparel he just like reopened kind of
under a different company name and they
have all of like the American Apparel
basics so it is made in Los Angeles and
it is really well constructed so I do
think it's worth the price but in case
it's out of your price range here is an
alternative okay
the Sun is setting so I had to turn on
my studio lights next up I have some
more corduroy I have my Kota Roy Dale
bottoms
now 2019 was a big year for funky pants
for me I've officially decided that
every time you say funky pants you got
to do a little jazz hand action that
just seems right I feel like when I was
younger a lot of my sense
style revolved around looking the most
feminine and the most like traditionally
hourglass figure girly cute cuz I never
felt like feminine enough because I
wasn't like super curvy I didn't have
like super big boobs but I think as I've
grown up especially this past year I
really ventured more into like tailored
silhouettes more menswear inspired stuff
and that stuff like makes me feel
equally quote unquote attractive because
I like feel confident in it
hashtag empowering anyways I love these
corduroy bell-bottoms when I originally
got these I was not sure how much I was
gonna wear them just because the
corduroy felt very very bold to me but
since they were subdued color it doesn't
feel like my legs are screening look at
me
to the world they're really not that
intimidating to wear a theme with most
of these items so far is that it is all
about fit and comfort and these pants
just fit me like a [ __ ] glove they
make my butt look really good if I may
say so myself I also think the
bell-bottoms are surprisingly flattering
silhouette because when I pair them with
heeled boots it makes it look like my
leg goes from the bottom of the flare of
the bell bottom all the way up to my
waist and overall I just like feel so
[ __ ] groovy in them I've worn this
out with a bustier and honestly like it
makes me feel so sexy and confident or I
wear this with a black t-shirt and black
boots on more casual days since these
are a very niche item I'm not sure I'm
gonna find an exact dupe for them but I
will put up some alternatives for funky
pants over here next up we have coats
now this is the first year that I have
had a real winter coat because I am a
flimsy little springtime [ __ ] and I
have not experienced a real winter in
like three years I went to some colder
cities this fall and this has been the
jacket that helped me survive and when I
moved to New York in literally nine days
you bet your ass I am gonna be wearing
this every single day as well sorry the
arm of this coat was like touching me a
little sexually not this Christian
minecraft server good sir my
recommendations if you're gonna invest
in a good winter coat are first of all
look for something in a neutral color
like tan or black do not get white
because as soon as you set your
down on any surface it will get dirty
right now there is a big bright puffer
trend and you know if that sparks joy
for you you can go ahead and buy one but
do not be surprised when your lime-green
marshmallow of a coat is not in style
next season second of all look for a
classic style this is that double
breasted pea coat type that has been in
style since I like exited the wound and
hopefully it will be in style
until I rolled my body into its grave or
I am blown to bits in World War 3 which
everyone comes first ladies and thirdly
buy a coat with a little bit of wiggle
room I got mine in an extra-small
which is my usual size but this coat is
built to be a little bit slouchy
so otherwise I would have gone one size
up so that I can layer a bunch of
sweaters and other jackets underneath
without my arms getting like sausage
casing to really tight into the sleeves
now I think of all items in your
wardrobe it is really hard to save money
on a coat you can get them cheaper but
they just like will not keep you as warm
which is the main function of a coat to
begin with which I know sucks because
then coats are really [ __ ] expensive
but in order to get a coat cheaper my
best recommendation is to buy off season
especially as we enter the end of winter
and it goes into springtime check out
the sale section of your local
department store or a ritzy ah which is
where I got this code and they should
mark down their coats like 50% at the
end of the season just make sure you get
something classic that you're still
gonna love next year and then you can
just wait it out for six more months and
then you'll have the perfect coat my
last clothing item is a face thrifted
denim jacket this is my good old Harley
Davidson jacket which you guys have seen
a million times if you watch my videos I
thrifted this for $15 and I think this
is objectively the best $15 I've ever
spent actually actually I think the best
$15 I ever spent was venn knowing
somebody the cost of half of a CVS brand
plan-b
this is the second $15 I've ever spent
first of all the logo is super cool on
this it says love ride and I love how
just like vaguely sexual that is second
of all this jacket is the perfect say it
with me kids juxtaposition with
something that is more like romantic and
feminine or something that is more
tight-fitting like a body con dress this
outfit I'm modeling for you now with the
cowboy boots was like my go-to going out
fit it made me feel like very sexy but
also cool and casual at the same time
okay
last up we have shoes and accessories
you guys will not be surprised but my
most worn white sneakers are my Nike Air
Force one
jester's these are pretty much exactly
the same as the Air Force ones except
that they have a slightly higher
platform and the logo is kind of like
solve a door to lead down the side which
i think is kind of cool which i think is
kind of cool I know these are very
trendy in like a little bit basic but
they're just so comfortable I could like
run a marathon these well ok I couldn't
run a marathon but if I could run a
marathon I could do it in these shoes I
also always gravitate towards sneakers
with a low top so that I can slip them
on and I don't have to retie the laces
yes I will spend like four hours getting
an extra shot for a video but I am too
lazy to unlace and then lace up my
sneakers again my other most worn shoes
are these black boots these are the
shoes that I bought like a year and a
half ago when I got my first big
paycheck from YouTube it was from my
original apartment makeover they are the
most expensive shoes that I own but it
was money that I was proud that I earned
and I spend it on something that I
really like and that makes me happy I
wear these boots every single week and
nearly in every single video I love the
lace up detail on these that's almost
like reminiscent of a corset it's super
cool and the block heel that flares out
at the bottom I feel like a very chic
witch in these boots and yeah I think
they just complete any outfit for a more
affordable alternative though I do love
these boots from Urban Outfitters as
well these are so [ __ ] comfortable
and I will link some other more
affordable options here this is the
first year that I bought a purse now
when I was in college like I genuinely
did not understand what the hype over
purses was all about because I just put
everything in my backpack but now in my
very limited experience as an adult
woman I do understand how it's nice to
have a little bag to finish off your
outfit and to carry your stuff so this
has been my most worn one of the year I
got this from princess Polly and every
single time I wear this out people
compliment me on it and they like want
to look closer at it because they think
it's like the coolest bag of all time
this has been a great way to finish off
thrift get outfits if I have like
a romantic vintage floral this pearl
detail looks great with it or even if I
have a plane outfit like this it's
really nice to have a statement bag to
make it feel a little bit more fancy and
this is also the perfect size for my
camera equipment a lot of purses are
like too small to fit my vlog camera in
but this has a little bit of extra room
and lastly my most worn toilet paper
this has been chilling in the background
of this entire video lastly I wanted to
give a quick shout out to my most worn
jewelry since you guys asked me about it
a lot now I'm a little bit just a little
bit biased because I designed these
earrings but these genuinely have been
my most important earrings of the year
they are my safety pin earrings with a
little pearl detail at the bottom the
reason I wear these so much is that they
don't have an earring back so you just
loop them through your ear like a
regular safety pin and then close it and
if you're like me and you lose every
single thing in your life including your
earring backs this is like a lifesaver
because it's just one less thing to
worry about also if you like move around
a lot if you're like cuddling with your
BAE you know how like sometimes the
earring backs will like either fall off
or they like poke you in the back of the
head these are super super comfortable
and you can like moshpit with them and
they won't fall off as for necklaces I
have this star necklace from enroute
jewelry I love how when you move around
it likes sparkles a little bit and to
complete my necklace stack I have two
other necklaces from Missouri all right
whoo video complete yeah I've been
filming for like three hours I might
throw out is like screaming at me I know
it sounds like my voice is fine but this
is just me like acting through my
sickness to be a moderately engaging
human being because otherwise this video
would be so [ __ ] boring anyways I
hope that your 2020 is less of a
dumpster fire than mine is and less of a
literal fire than all of Australia thank
you guys so much for watching I hope
this was interesting and I will see you
guys next week bye
okay no that was too many P signs
thank you guys for watching
you
[Music]
