- Hey, everyone.
It's your girl, Jenn,
and today we are doing a styling video,
a styling video that I've always wanted to do
because I'm a maximalist, I like a lot of stuff
and I like to hoard and I feel like I'm always
under this illusion that I need choices
and options and that it gives me security,
but when it comes to clothing,
too many options is actually quite crippling,
so I thought I would minimize and just wear
these selected items on this rack.
So, for my capsule collection,
I did a mix of items that were already in my wardrobe,
and I thrifted some pieces as well.
These are from Thred Up
and huge shout out to Thred Up for sponsoring this video.
Thred Up is an amazing online consignment store
where they literally carry thousands of brands.
It's exactly like thrifting,
but you don't actually have to go
and get overwhelmed in a store.
You can just filter out your size, the brand you want,
the texture, the color and then it'll search
all that for you and then present the best options.
I am obsessed with this
because even when I go to a thrift store,
I always love stores where they
at least categorize the size.
So, it's really amazing that they filter
that all out for you and then you can save those filters
and so when you shop again,
it's already saved and you can just do it
with your fingertips, so easy.
It is a huge misconception that good style
is all about splurging
and getting huge investment pieces all the time,
but I don't think that's true at all.
You can have great style even with minimal options.
So, without further ado,
these are the pieces that I'll be wearing
for the next two weeks.
So, this is my first top.
I wanted something very basic and very comfortable.
I love the fact that this is in this nice, knit material
and this is from the brand UNIF and I got this for 24.99
when the estimated value was 90 bucks.
Next up I picked out this linen top from Zara.
I mean, it was advertised as a jacket,
but immediately I saw it as a top.
I love things that are just really crisp and clean
and normally linen tops cost a fortune
and at Zara this was estimated at $66,
but I got it for 33.99 which is essentially 50% off.
So, my next top is this
long-sleeved one from Urban Outfitters.
I saw it and I was like,
"Oh my gosh, this looks kind of like The Olympics,
"like the Winter Olympics and Tommy Hilfiger."
So, I knew I had to get it.
This was estimated at $45, but I got it for 14.99.
I wanted to have a maxi dress option
in case I was going to somewhere
a little bit more civilized
like an event or like a nice dinner
and I thought that this maxi dress from MINKPINK
was perfect because first I love a wrap dress.
I think they're so flattering
and I loved the print on this.
The dress was estimated to be $60,
but I got it for 12.99.
So, this is the only skirt that I picked out
and this one is by Topshop.
I thought that the pastel pink
would be perfect for the spring
and it's also a super flattering silhouette on me.
So this skirt was estimated to be $60,
but I got it for 14.99 which is 75% off
and if you guys are interested
in shopping at Thred Up for yourselves,
I do have a code you can use.
It is Jenn and you get 30% off your first order.
So, make sure you hit the description box
so you can discover your personal style on Thred Up.
I also added a turtleneck just to have a thicker fabric
because, I mean, it gets a little cold at night
and I thought that this would be a good layering piece
or just a piece to wear on it's own.
So, this is my outerwear option.
I just chose this moto jacket
because honestly moto jackets have this magical ability
to be casual but formal at the same time.
It's bizarre but I thought that this one
would be perfect to be my only jacket.
For the pants I got two styles.
First I have my fancy pants.
These are in kind of like a micro gingham print.
I thought that this would also be one of those pieces
that can be worn up or down.
I feel like a statement trouser is essential.
My next pair of pants are just some solid jeans.
These are my favorite jeans because they're so comfortable.
I love that it's kind of in this lighter wash
and they feel like second skin, to be honest.
It was pretty easy to select my bags
because I pretty much rotate only these two.
It was really hard narrowing down the shoes,
but I chose my white Nikes because, honestly,
I wear these all the time.
They literally go with everything and they're so comfortable
and my other shoe option are these black lace up boots.
These are kind of like Doc Martens.
I mean they're not Doc Martens at all,
but I like the fact that it has a heel
because I don't know when Doc Martens
will ever look good on me,
but these black boots will do.
All right, guys, let's start making these outfits.
