5 things i regret buying !

[@theyellowbird]

coming from someone who works in optical: take your oversized sunnies to an optician! most places will adjust glasses for a fee if they weren't bought at the store, but they can bend the temple-tips so that the glasses fit better and don't fall off your face. might help make that not-quite-right pair of sunnies into something you love and can wear :)

[@kathryndodd1818]

These videos are so fascinating to see from you since I follow a lot of "eco minimalists" who are a lot more strict on the idea of finding a few pieces you love and then pretty much never shopping again it seems (or in order to buy something new they must get rid of something they already own). Your take is refreshing for me as a reminder that it's not a bad thing to love to shop/play with style and add new pieces to your wardrobe! I think my regrets with shopping have been where I decide I want to leap into a wholly new aesthetic and buy both staples and statement pieces and then they end up not being "me" after all. I'm chronically bad at shopping for the personality/lifestyle/aesthetic I wish I was, rather than buying clothes and curating a style that actually works for how I want to express myself and how I can comfortably dress for the life I actually live right now! I have a lot of things sitting in my closet that I'm "waiting" to wear, once I can afford to change careers and have a totally different daily routine. But who knows when that day will come! So instead here I am wearing the same 4 tops and 3 pairs of boring trousers every single day, keeping me trapped in a cycle of lusting after a life I don't have yet instead of enjoying life exactly where I'm at

Things I regret buying: 1. Low rise jeans 🤭

[@barborapetlakova]

Truer words have never been spoken 😆😂👖

[@TeaWitcher]

Yes 😩😩 ive been wanting to get rid of mine

[@LaceyMyriah]

Oh man, I just bought some second hand guess low rise skinnies.... and I couldn’t be happier!! I was a little worried I’d be unhappy with the purchase (they were $5 so no biggie) and I’m so happy with them! I’m glad we can all find what works for us!

[@TheANaidGirl]

Remember the days when you could not find high-rise jeans in stores because everyone was wearing low-rise, with those skinny chains or scarfs instead of belts? With "bedazzled" flip-flops? *shudders*

[@nathaliefischer679]

Those blue trousers with the bold coloured tops look amazing 🤩 so fresh and stylish. They remind me of sunny spring afternoons in a café at the water. Ah, how I miss that.

[@KimMayroze]

I agree! I love these gorgeous colors on Jenny! So stylish and cool!

[@optimistic_yellow]

I love Jenny's voice! Sometimes I play her videos in the background while I'm doing other things (like cleaning). So comforting :)

[@amylolois]

I am still learning and trying to become a more conscious consumer. The things I have learned to be aware of from my past mistakes is 1. The urge or impulse to shop when something is on sale and only because it is on sale and 2. No longer buying for the fantasy self, not the practical self and how it leaves a closet full of gorgeous clothing and no occasion or lifestyle to actually wear them. So I am being more realistic and buying only the things I will actually wear or have on a list of items that I might eventually want. I am trying to not buy fast fashion and even though I have been much better about it, sometimes I have fallen short and purchased the occasional basic T. I am not by any means perfect, but I am trying to be more conscious and channels like yours are very inspiring. Thank you!

[@Micahangelina_]

Last and ALWAYS regrettable purchase... a trendy jeans cut!! As a grown ass woman I've recently decided to say F the trends and only invest in jeans that flatter my shape and make me feel good. 😌 and that's that! Ciao, ciao... baci!

[@siljeostman3816]

Yes, couldn't agree more! High-wasted dark/black skinny jeans is great for my wide hips/big butt but relatively small waste combo. No matter how much I wish I could pull off the chill mom jeans look it's just not going to happen 😂

[@zuza6111]

The blue trousers would look so chic with the white and blue top you’re wearing!

[@Antistylestyleclub]

I actually have more regrets when I buy something that isn’t on sale because I fall in the trap of buying something ‘on trend’. I like to buy things in sale because I know I buy them because I love them and not because they are all over instagram 🧡🧡

[@feriel9961]

I used to buy clothes impulsively but then I was regretting almost everything ! Now, I make a yearly plan of what I want to buy, and I ask myself dozens of questions before actually buying anything. I also don't go in any shop anymore, which helps thinking thouroughly before paying. I generally let a few weeks, sometimes months go by and if I still fancy the same clothes, I buy them. As a result, I have not regretted a single buy in 2 years !

[@DiMagnolia]

I recently bought a new pair of Levi’s because I was desperate for jeans since gaining weight. I went to a mall and checked literally every store there, none carried my size. I finally went to Levi’s and even they didn’t carry my size unless I bought men’s jeans. They were big enough but entirely the wrong shape for my hourglass figure but I bought them because I felt so dejected. The next day I put them on and immediately hated them, regretting my decision. So I promptly went back to return them. That same night my aunt who had just lost weight asked me if I wanted to look through some of the clothes that was too big for her and I found not only the perfect cozy worn in jeans but also a pair of black trousers to replace the ones I currently have that are so worn they even have a hole in the bum!

[@MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

I could buy anything online but clothes as I'm always disappointed when I see them live and it's such a pain to send them back! Plus I like trying on before buying!

[@GinaLuciaReads]

I've bought a lot of clothing from Depop because I loved seeing people my own size in the clothing. But sometimes even then the photos don't show the clothing in a realistic way. Quality really matters.

[@eggyeox1792]

yeah I hate when people rather make the item “appear” nice than show off what it actually looks like, it’s so misleading 😤

[@LaceyMyriah]

This is why I ALWAYS ask for measurements when I’m buying on depop (where I shop almost 100% of the time!)

[@daninoa9650]

I feel so happy to say that I don't really have too many recent regrets! The closest things I have are a vintage dress I won't be able to wear until I get a steamer and some pieces I got from my grandmother's own wardrobe (she was a fashion designer and is one of the most stylish and effortlessly elegant women I know) that just didn't fit me right, so I'm giving them back to her. (learning that mod fashion doesn't suit me as much as I wish it did and finding silhouettes that fit me better has made curating my dream wardrobe so much more fun! I have a very small list of things I want to make and even fewer specific items I want to thrift or buy now. Not to mention, I can confidently say that I love everything I own and wear!)

[@gabriellebaklayan6632]

Long dresses that fit you otherwise and that you love but for length can be easily tailored!

[@EricB256]

Please let's see some more of this "Jenny in colour". Sounds exciting.

[@itsnotaricaria]

Jenny, get your sunglasses fitted at an optician! :)

[@ChristiePriem]

Agreed! They have special tools to bend those over-the-ear parts so the glasses don't slide down!

[@detlef3000]

She can even fit them at home by herself with the heat of a blow dryer. Its very easy.

[@badlyconfused5583]

@@detlef3000 As an optician I would not recommend that because you can easiliy demage your glasses

[@aliceblue5634]

Nooo, It is the size! Usually adult glasses are 145mm or more, if you have a small head is better 140mm as average. It really changes everything! There is a number inside all glasses with all the measures, check in the internet, it is a very useful topic to buy online haha

[@ChristiePriem]

Although I also have a very small head and usually either get kids' glasses or petite styles (I wear prescription lenses so I'm always in glasses unless I'm sleeping or in the shower!) So there may be some styles that aren't so easily smallened.

[@CAimee-ed3uq]

When you showed the blue trousers I was just about to say that color look nearly always better combined with other colors or a similar shade than with black/white

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

The things I regret buying usually have comfort or quality problems that I didn’t notice in a quick try-on.

[@zetuljka]

I regret buying things online most of the time, but still fall into this trap in a hope of getting better with online shopping

[@RO-wy5lx]

Oh, I just love the radio active outfit!!!❤ Also, the same blueish pants paired with the tank top on the hanger looks great ❤ Those sunglasses look awesome 👌 At 73 I finally shop intententionally, whoo hoo!! Donated all of my regret buys or returned them to department store. Love your sense of humor and the chats at the video's endings!! Rosie 👩‍🦳 🇨🇦

[@melisacaceres8740]

Something I regret buying is the pink men's wear cashmere v neck sweater of my dreams that i bought on sale. It's super cozy, soft, baggy yet femenine and fulfills my 90's dream girl fantasies. BUT now I have the feeling it brings me bad luck. I can't explain it but i don't want to associate with it anymore yet I love how it looks too much to get rid of it. It's in a bag in my closet and i haven't touched for months now. Also I'm too messy for baby pink, idk what I was thinking.

[@lindsey4721]

I nearly audibly gasped when I saw you wearing red and turquoise!!

[@MansMan918]

Try App Tradesy. All items guaranteed.Amazon. Yes! Amazon had custom tailoring. Your entire garment is made to fit you. Last thing! Fabletics. We have a giant home with huge yard. My Fabletics can handle working in yard on my knees and no damage. Hope you find this helpful. I appreciate the App you suggested. Be safe.

[@cornflakee]

hey, you can get rubber/silicon ear attachment thingies(?) for your glasses. They slide over the sticks of the glasses and snugly fit behind your ear. The only downside it that I have only found this product from Amazon so far

[@dominicfaucher4956]

I feel like those blue trousers would look good with navy blue

[@mmclennon]

All my last "bad" purchases have been second hand on poshmark. Sometimes its just hard to tell what you're going to think, even if you have outfits in mind and check the measurements. A few I've been able to resell, but its just such a hassle.

[@heidilanders9807]

As far as glasses I have the same problem as you, small head, so I almost exclusively buy the wrap around kind which have a curve and fit me much better.

[@wellhello1603]

Theres actually a tip for glasses! In eyewear shops they can bend those ear parts so glasses fit you better. I dont know if every eyewear shop does this, but ask if ur local one could do that ! Here in finland each time i buy new glasses they bend them for me and one time they bended by old ones without charging me.

[@LaceyMyriah]

I just bought some second hand (perfect condition) Tom Ford sunglasses & unfortunately they’re a little bigger than my old (lost) pair. I’m definitely going to take them into my optometrist!!

[@alinotheraphy]

blue trousers are absolutely stunning

[@BekaEllen]

I dare you to try learning to sew, I would love to see your journey of learning the skills, you would be great at it.

[@alexandrarchive]

So insightful! And about the glasses...places that sell eyewear can tailor the sliding a little by heating the temple tips and bending them slightly. I had that done for most of my prescription glasses from my local independent seller, so it might be worth asking if you could bring your sunglasses.

[@darrylbannon2727]

I have to use hair ties on sunglasses. If you can find a pair the same colour as the frame. Twist around and position to give a bit of grip behind your ears. Not a perfect fit, but does help with glasses flying off:)

[@Delala]

This video is so relatable! I bought a expensive cashmere sweater that constantly gets holes in it. So annoying, on the plus side, i now am friends with the tailor 😅

[@BaileyShafer]

Biker shorts! They don't fit my body right so I just keep ordering more because I love how they look on others.

[@hirondelle398]

I don't like the look of biker shorts alone on my body either but I always use them under skirts or dresses :) It's useful and can look pretty good !

[@aliceblue5634]

Ohh I feel you about small head and glasses haha. Ray-Ban have good small ones, you can use the measurement tables at their page, very useful. Usually 135-145mm for small heads :)

[@annabelle7123]

Love the colour matching with that colourful blue trousers

[@chantallecj]

The tailor is your friend. Makes a major difference!

[@carowolff4702]

Found a vintage grey Armenian suit, blazer and a pencil skirt, second-hand for only 120 euros, even got the pencil skirt tailord, but gave it away to my sibling instead. Grey simply isn't my colour

[@babybluevintage]

Love the blue slacks mustard top combo 👌

[@chloelechevalier2248]

When I saw you in the trousers, I was amazed. You looked sooo good!

[@TheANaidGirl]

I sometimes overdo it by buying multiple simmilar pairs of jeans when I enjoy a style. I know they are not exactly the same(pocekts, hardware, etc.), but they look the same to others 😅

[@morrigan_the_fae]

I would wear the pants that tore the first time you wore the around the house for a few days to reassure yourself that the first pair was faulty and they won't betray with public indecency

[@runeguidanceofthenorse]

Loooove the suit combos!

[@leandraroxanne6369]

I'd recommend to take the sunglasses to an optician. It is possible to glue some silicone pats to it.

[@peggy-sue-reads-a-book]

omg there is nothing more adorable than "knickers" in your cute voice.

[@gabriellebaklayan6632]

ALWAYS try on sunnies in person or be prepared to return them. I've learned they are sized. A bit confusing for this American that most are in mm but it helps a lot to know to size DOWN. (Also have skinny face). Also a victim of buying similar size from brands who don't run consistent. So annoying! Thanks for fun video.

[@victoriagr8938]

When I look at your content, I feel in control of my life.

[@Lolzadoodle8484]

I can't wait for mushroom/apple/non plastic vegan leather to be global and normal! I buy secondhand leather due to not wanting to add more plastic to the earth, but needing more durable shoes than plastic faux leather provides. Really wishing this becomes a reality soon!

[@cynthj]

I love the blue trousers on you! Great look! Where is your black and white shirt with red sleeves from? It is SO CUTE

[@gigismals1678]

omg I have the same problem with my Balenciaga sunnies, my ears bend so much cause they way to big and heavy for my tiny head :'D

[@_inflection3209]

I wonder if a Tailor could use the hem of the dress and make the waist a little wider for you

[@ambarrose]

My latest regret? Well, I tend to buy basics for wardrobe only. Basic tops, t-shirts with some design, long skirts. I do accept many pieces from friends and I declutter through it all sending it another way. My regrets usually are from other kind. Tech kind. Two years ago, I bought a Nintendo because I missed my game boy days so much. Regret. I play on it a week per year, if so. Last year, I wanted to sell my Samsung tablet and perhaps keep the money for other stuff and later invest on a laptop. I sold it but my husband managed to convince me to buy another tablet next because it is oh so practical. In a way, yes it is. But it's not what I had been wanting to have, so I find myself having a love-hate relationship with it. And as a minimalist, the idea of having tech piling up in my house that isn't loved and enjoyed make me want to cry.

[@elainemeszaros3667]

I bought a cute Peter Pan collar white blouse from Dangerfield (very Audrey H). Unfortunately it ends right on my tummy fat and is like a big arrow pointing to the very body part I am trying to disguise! The only time my tummy looks good is when I'm really underweight so I guess my daughter will be getting a new blouse as I can't be bothered to send it back to Australia.

[@tp2387]

OMG I love those blue trousers 😍

[@julief7699]

Haha😂 Älskar beskrivningen av byxorna!!! Har också ett par snarlika (om än något mer åt det blå hållet), samma problematik som för dig. Ska prova lite crazy-combos🙌🏽

[@noemi9985]

I bought some chunky loafers second hand and they keep slipping off the back even with heel grips big regrets

[@annabelle7123]

Sekandskeen is usually good, they have nice lingerie. The sizing is simple cuz it's from Korea where we think everyone is small or medium and we only have those sizes... oups. Love the tie die blue top you are wearing here, where is it from!

[@dace8828]

I thrifted a mens jacket by burberry just because of the brand. Good thing i only paid 2 euros. It is way too big for me and nobody in my family wants it 😁 it will go to charity obviously but i wish i would have just left it. Now i made myself go through frustration about a brand item that does not fit and i have to take time to get rid of

[@acasti812]

Love this> I need Sandles and boots but all the ones I love are made of leather! Any recommendations for great vegan shoewear, not more than 200 usd a pair? Thanks !

[@marionandrews176]

A few months back I bought an off white corduroy blazer (it was expensive). I was watching a bunch of videos and was looking to change my style (I’m from NYC...we were black...are there other colors?). Every time I put the jacket on, it feels stiff, boxy and I can’t handle the huge blob of off white that stares back at me in the mirror. I’m selling🙁

[@madonnella]

Jenny please go to an optician with your sunglasses. They can bend the sides to fit your ears perfectly and they could also apply silicone pads in the nose area so they don’t slip so easily

[@HmitrA]

Ok thank you....

[@HeliNoir]

I hope you do giveaway(s) for things you regret buying because I'm pretty sure you have subscribers like me that would gladly upcycle your items ^_^

[@Gre_tel]

hey Jenny, Karma sounds really nice and useful but when I want to install it, it says that Karma is allowed to read my phone numbers, credit cards and passwords. Can you tell something about that?

[@ShawnLivesInItaly]

I wish I would not have bought an extra pair of Cami paints

I bought several pants on serious discount and the fabrics are so weird. Never again!

[@MissAnnkiss]

Levi’s jeans :( they were half price but only 1 size left, so I bought them and they’re so small, so I thought I’d keep them because what if I lose weight? Lol, big mistake

i've never heard of karma?! i'm curious!
