i agree sooooo much with the wearing things the wrong way/layering thing, you're not basic or unstylish for just wearing a dress and not adding anything to it! i always hated those "wearing vs styling" videos lmao

.i think some styles look totally fab with over accessorising, but sometimes it feels like that one quote from little women about wearing all of ones bonnets in order to show off that you own them .yeah theres definitely some styles i like that i would NOT wear ever, lmaoo .instagram girl aesthetic is so real, it just feels not genuine but if they like it they like it .teeth give you character like all your features, so cute!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

So right with everything I love this!!

[@saintyai]

Bunny teeth are the cutest thing honestly. Only in adulthood have I learned to love and find mine endearing but the way even, straight, blindingly white chip skylark teeth have been taking over feels so unnatural and makes me cling to my sharp canine and bunny front teeth all the more

[@ashleighcallaghan]

what I would give for bunny teeth eeee cutest thing ever, its so true that only as adults we realise we are lucky with our individuality xxxx

[@savvyowl6365]

I'm jealous of people who have them they look so cute mine are crooked and I'm thinking of getting veneers 😢

[@peachesandcream22]

​@@savvyowl6365 Please, don't do veneers, they will permanently damage your healthy teeth.

[@user-oz4rs6up5o]

I absoulty love that you brought up features that are typically “unattractive” or “ugly” as not detracting from the way somebody looks but actually an enhancement. Having wonky teeth or spots or wider ears are all things which make us individuals, in my opinion you can also use those features as accessories to yourself in their own way, and totally agree that it can become fatiguing seeing everybody conform to the same way of looking. Love this video ❤

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah thank you ! I’m so glad u agree , just me highlighting there is beauty in everything xxxxx

[@Adina5150]

Oh my gOODNESS FINALLY someone else said it. Anytime I am in the HF community they gobble and slobber over “if you know how to LAYER youre FASHIONABLE” although they will talk on knowing yours cuts, fit and silhouette, textures. And thats what I go for. I absolutely am not with the avante-garde -ification of everyday life just to prove individualityin fashion. It simply rarely looks… good. But if looking a mess like you just left the goodwill bins without a bag and decided to wear it all out, by all means rock on brother. It is just simply too impractical, uncomfortable to me to go that far for no reason other than proving to your ego that you are somehow better and more knowledgeable in fashion than someone else in the grocery store checkout. ALSO love mid-high rise. Prefer a mid, but high has its place especially in formal womens suiting. It will always elongate and do justice compared to a lowrise suitpant on a woman, imo even men. I hate seeing a formal button down all the way down to the groin where it finally ends and is broken up by the pants waistline. It ALWAYS makes every average height and build person look supremely disproportionate in a professional setting. Again.. if it is your intent especially for a more slumped look, rock on. I also second love myself having no ass no curve just massive pants, just like I love myself the biggest winter coat possible. Sneak anything, including your grandma into the movie theatre with those bad boys.

[@Adina5150]

Oh also, the common conversation behind doors I have heard of is commonly the designer is wearing something supremely casual / “timeless” due to the factor that it makes rewatching the show at any year , appear that it could be any time, any place. But none the less it is quite common that the designer or artist looks nothing like their designs day-to-day. Including myself. In the end you are very rarely your own muse to your work. Also alot of the time the other joke is the longer you are into fashion the more youll end up wearing basics that are well-made and more about those factors I said prior, silhouette, texture, quality, fit and practicality. Which in the end happened to me. Now I am mostly all black head to toe focused on textures fits and comfort, comfort to an extent. More “uncomfortable” would be towards formal attire I own that I can’t just jump around in and kick my legs to the ceiling without having to readjust myself and tuck things in again. Or worry on integrity , to a plausible tear. But, overall I am quite careless as its meant to be worn till it begs me to stop. To which I will stitch it back up so it can cough and beg some more. But it is very true what you wear doesn’t indicate your inner fashion sense. My brother for example cannot afford, and also is on the spectrum so he can only handle so much due to oversensory and disdain to restriction of a clothing item. But he loves my clothes and we can talk in circles and he will share me plenty of things he wishes he could wear. Otherwise he just dresses up his avatars in these looks instead because of this. Essentially just like most, living vicariously through a creation of a fantasy self. And or how archive runway is primarily “selling” a fantasy, of that collection. A Fantasy “third person” we could be, they could be. That is the fun of it all, isn’t it? I remember my mother commenting on higher fashion runway, as many do who are not into it persay. The classic devil wears prada andrea sachs moment, asking outloud . How is this fashion, who is meant to even wear this? To which I told her. It is not meant for the everyday wear. These specific collections are not part of the “ready to wear” collections, these ones are representative of the designers artistic merrit and vision. It is just walking art to appreciate. That is also a more dramatic approach to what will bleed and be translated into often the upcoming ready to wear. It sets the tone to the brand and designers “era”

[@ashleighcallaghan]

pls this was such a pleasure to read I love everything you said, it is such an honour to have someone so knowledgable about fashion watch my videos !! thank you so much for being here and I hope you have a lovely day xxxx

[@Adina5150]

@@ashleighcallaghan I think, like that video of Lynn Yaeger that went around recently. Which is very important. Is that if you are interested in fashion, learn everything but fashion. Overall if you went into historics and classism and all these other larger social topics. Knowledge and or historical, media; literacy- is what makes the difference. Because if all you know is fashion, then you know nothing. Yes it is great to know who what where why on a designed item.. collection, whatever it may be. But fashion, as we know is influenced and always referential of something else, something bigger. It is always political. Everything has intent. Just as you said, on what you choose to wear, everything has intention to tell something, mean something more than what it is on the surface. Along with as you said, dressing for body-type. It is very real and very true, even those who try to claim to not do it. You will always be doing it either way, for or against.. You made the intentional choice to go with or against the “current.” Also forgot to say at the end of my last comment, that when I had explained it to my mother. I also had explained this thing to exes and other people through my life. It made her understand it and it was a major “AHHAH!” Moment. The light went on. Anyways, Thank you for replying and saying that to me, but I more so pride myself in how much I know within histories of everything and current events. Along with the arts, music, classical, dance, paintings, literature, poetry. Health, sciences, psychology, language. I spend a majority of my time seeking knowledge, and fashion is the afterthought. In my opinion and many people you may meet in such spaces would most likely adhere to the same. The longer you are around it the less it is about clothes. Hahaha. If it is, you are wasting time on what matters least if you cannot metaphorically “READ” what things are meant to convey/their intent and or referring to.

[@catcake222]

It’s so funny how I agreed with all of these unpopular fashion opinions. I think we all lost our touch with originality over the years. And you’re right, having spots and showing your unique side instead of all of this uncanny valley, same-face vibe in Hollywood. I wish more people would see this as a popular opinion instead of an unpopular one. But Whatevs great video 🩷❣️🩵💓🩷🛍️🎀✨!

[@Chesapeakeripper555]

Thank you for the acne point! It’s interesting that society frames acne as the opposite of healthy skin when actually don’t most people have some degree of acne-prone skin at some point in their lives? When you think about all the pollutants and other nasty things in the air, I think it’s actually quite normal that this would cause a reaction in our skin. Spotty skin is skin that is trying to protect itself!

[@lja530]

I'm pretty sure that's incorrect - there are a number of factors that can cause acne, hormones being one of them, or just skin at certain point producing a lot of sebum and that in combination with naturally occurring bacteria will culminate in a spot or two. No big deal and most likely no toxins involved.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

YES ! I’ve never had chronic acne, but I get the odd spot alllll the timmmeeeeee , maybe bad diet maybe hormones whatever , shows im working hahahahah

I agree with the layering thing!! I think it can look really cool if it has a purpose, for example I am a goth and a big part of gothic outfits consists in layering, and i think it looks amazing! but a lot of clothes are meant to be worn by themselves, and layering would be overdoing it imo

[@cjr790]

Sometimes I tuck my braid behind my ears because it makes them stick out like you do with your hats! It’s so cute lol Also semi-agree with the body-type thing I think knowing your proportions is super helpful and kind of intuitive and people just need to stop telling people with x body type to do x with their clothing to make them look skinnier or “more balanced”. Sometimes you want to look like you’re all legs or all torso or whatever!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

YES !! Like heaven forbid I want to make myself look nicer hahahhaha

[@LOlmala22]

Literally commented about the exact same layering topic under the last video of phoebe taylor a few days ago 🥲

[@bugzilly]

I think it's so interesting that you are in favor of what you call 'unique' features (which, very much same), but are on the other side of the argument when it comes to 'dressing for your body type'. to me, what's considered flattering when it comes to the shape of your body is similarly arbitrary to smaller unique features - so mainstream fashion doesn't like gapped teeth, but I do. mainstream fashion doesn't like certain bodies that they deem 'out of proportion' or whatever, but I do. totally fine to not see it that way, but body shape trends change over time and what's considered flattering isn't an absolute, but is similarly constantly changing!

Omg thank you ❤ for the first time as an adult I’ve bought a proper and more expensive wardrobe full of dresses. It doesn’t require layering they are beautiful winter and summer dresses that are part of my new style that I’ve finally found, and suddenly at work i noticed all the compliments went to girls layering. Now don’t get me wrong I love that they have their own style, but often it’s an un ironed its shirt with some jumper over the tip with mismatching shoes and clashing Jewlerry and I was said I needed to add more accessories and layer to b more fashionable but I feel great in my nice simple pieces damn it 😂

i feel like the first point you made on insta is so true and not talked about enough. 🫶🫶🫶 especially with the rise of people wanting to have “casual” instagram accounts and trying to do the opposite of posing, has only turned into making them even more posed (if that makes sense???). like it’s totally fine to do that but when people claim that they aren’t editing their photos and they’re being casual, is just as harmful as the other way around. obviously its totally fine to do either but i feel like it’s just been so long since ive heard someone who has said that its okay to edit and pose on insta and have it be a form of creativity. idk if any of this makes sense bc im just rambling at this point but THANK YOU for saying that🙏🙏🙏

Hot take: I don't think colors should be trends. It sounds nonsensical to me, like, ''this season you can't cotton''. All colors are (literally) timeless. Humanity will end and they will go on lol PS: Same for jeans silhouettes and rises, to a minor extent

[@ashleighcallaghan]

colours are always seasonal, like there's no such thing as burgundy 'trending' in autumn and winter bc it does every year. every year you can count on lighter and brighter colours in spring and summer and darker muted colours in winter. I agree w you xxxxx

[@ashleighcallaghan]

I am sorry that I offended you, please know that I respect Jessi greatly. She is incredibly talented and has created a name for herself in the fashion community for many reasons. I hope you understand that I was not using her video because she is a black woman. Everyone can express themselves radically and I was just giving my opinion on her outfit. The sentiment would have been the same regardless of her race or gender and I am a fashion channel not a political channel so I chose the video that best illustrated my fashion opinion. I hope I have explained myself and you can understand there was no ill intent in my decision to use Jessi’s video. Jessi deserves all the success she has gained and I hope she continues to grow as she is a great representation for black women in the fashion community. Respectfully, I don’t believe I was targeting how black women express themselves in my video and I hope that you don’t feel my video hinders how you express yourself. I apologise for the way my video made you feel regardless of my intention. I hope you have a lovely evening and thank you for your comment.
