The Anti Haul - 6 things you shouldn’t buy this summer!

[@maggiebkny]

One of my few hard and fast rules is no military-inspired fashion. I'm so glad to hear someone else say the same. But I love florals and polka dots!

[@dashadasha1522]

Dear Jenny, that’s the first time I hear anyone criticizing a military print trend. As a Ukrainian, it means so much to me! Knowing how many great people have been killed or wounded on the battlefield wearing a military uniform, it breaks my heart to see people wearing it as a fashion choice. Military print is not a joke and a massive trigger for those affected by wars

[@annagavrenkova6524]

I agree! I feel that it is a VERY insensitive trend!

[@amandalapanda394]

💯 I always wonder who wears camo print??? Hunting bros 😢

[@valfter1320]

i’m Ukrainian as well and it was refreshing to hear Jenny say all these things

[@GoodLifeRoad]

Totally agree. I have never worn military fashion and never let my kid. I’ve always thought it is very important to realize what that gear symbolizes.

[@pamelabr1111]

It gives me the creeps too. No thanks.

[@annkat3708]

Love your statement about military inspired fashion 👏🏻

[@loriwilliams2167]

Me too! Can't stand it 😒

[@jocelynturner2532]

Yes!

[@ingaulena]

About the mid-lenght skirt. I recall some very good in fit and match the cut&material for summer. A rare find though. The mid-flowy lenght is super practical for bike rides. Too long for peek-a-boo and too short for chainsaw :)

[@branwenn]

Tech wear is an awesome minimalist alternative to the military style, and honestly more stylish. As for bags, I carry the same bag year round, year after year. It's a mid-size vegan crossbody because I need free hands.

[@onemore7632]

this!! tech wear is great.

[@emilydenny5276]

Agreed! Utilitarian and techwear styles over military glorification

[@magicalspacegiraffe]

Oh, Jenny, don't give up on tie dye! It's great for extending the lifespan of any clothing item. Any angry stains, discoloration can be hidden under a tactful tie dye job (and tie dye can be easier done at home than a perfect solid dyejob) plus it can be a fun activity. You can do patterns, multiple colours, the sky is the limit. One of the reasons why I focus on only buying natural fibers - so I can fix them if something happens 😅

[@autumnleaves5973]

I think florals and polka dots are definitely classics!

[@瀬戸咲紀]

"aggressive person in jesus times" made me HOLLER 😭

[@katierowboat]

So interesting! I agree metallic is everywhere right now, but I also think it's a bit of a classic thing... like I am seriously considering some silver footwear of some kind because I feel like I'll be able to wear it for a while? But maybe I'm wrong. On the other hand, I think you look amazing in oversized blazers, but I personally can't wait for the trend - which I think it is! I'm surprised you think it's a classic! - to go away. It's just too much for me.

[@camillalundgren3485]

I wish metallics would become classic color, it is beautiful

[@basiekxx]

'aggressive person in jesus times' got me, best description of a soldier ever made

[@bestofemse]

I really like knee length skirts, they make me feel elegant like office chick. I never really enjoyed wearing miniskirts they make me very self conscious and since I'm so short maxi skirts were always too long and I hate walking in them because I feel like the fabric wraps around me legs and I'm going to stumble. So skirts around knee length are for me 😃

[@MargaretShephard]

Hi Jenny, Enjoyed your video as usual. Love Scandi design for everything. I am a life long minimalist (my mum said from childhood) I have always found possessions a burden .Always on the lookout for ways to simplify every aspect of life for my husband and I . Well done with the book. I will be buying it. By the way I am 74 years old.

[@AnnavBF]

I'm a fan of the two or more out, one in policy. Basically, I pick two or more of a similar item that I'm not super in love with anymore and I find 1 perfect replacement.

[@ifetayodavidson-cade5613]

I strongly agree that people with too much stuff in certain categories should stop shopping in that category, and if they literally cannot for a good reason, it should be 2+ items out for every item bought in that category.

[@bitnerka91]

I personally like knee length skirts, but wider that the examples in this video. The reason is that I wouldn't look good in a total mini skirt (big bottom :)) and it looks way more classy if my skirt has couple more cm. Everything depens on the body type :)

[@Gre_tel]

Absolutely agree on the military fashion trend! But we shall not forget that A LOT of classic fashion items, just as the trench coat, for example, have their origin in military wardrobe. Because in war times, as so many people (men) were wearing uniforms and such, the fashion world got heavily influenced by that. Also I think, that sometimes military and utilitarian style lines blur. What do you think?

[@beitheleaf8221]

Tie dye is something I can get behind in certain cases, I may die one stained tee to still be able to get use out of it and not have to throw it out lol ❤ love your antihauls Jenny! I’m saving up to buy your novel soon

[@sparky9839]

So refreshing to hear your position on romanticizing war and violence. As a fellow vegan that is exactly the opposite of what I stand for. I guess that’s why camo always repulsed me. Peace ✌🏻 💚💚💚

[@kristy_Henry]

always felt the Same, loved Jenny for saying it 😊

[@charlottajarbrink]

I 100% agree! Amazing that she´s bringing it up!

[@juliekantorova9748]

I feel the same!

[@AnkaMara7940]

I love minimalism and knee lenght skirts

[@monicagill01]

100% agree on the military wear. I always found it weird.

[@ildikoedit9110]

6:40 absolutely! I believed I was the only one who hates wearing knee length skirts.

[@patriciainportland5567]

I love these annual videos! Thank you...

[@carliemichelle3110]

And yes I agree with you on the y2k denim and knee length skirts. If something doesn’t make me feel fabulous, in the cut or design, I won’t wear it. Love your vid.

[@yvetteflores3307]

Would love a video on vegan quality handbags/totes. Thanks!

[@fionavaz3191]

Loved your take on peace and fashion! Thank you!

[@szfrj]

Saaame about the knee length skirt! It makes sense since I figured out my kibbe type

[@Kabast]

Yeah, knee length skirts suck for me. I also feel they are boring, and being short it just feels like cutting me off at a joint doesn’t really help my visual lengthening lines out, it just looks awkward 😅 I go with midi length or maxi length, myself

[@getreadyjetsetgo]

Long time listener, first time caller - I just put in a request for the Washington DC public library system to order a copy of Okay Days, which I can't wait to read!

[@AM-bm2xw]

Mini skirt or maxi-- AGREE! I call knee length skirts "frumpy church skirts", but that might just be my own experience 😅

[@lelexoxo303]

Personally, I love midi skirts of around knee length. Mini skirts are too short to be comfortable imo, while maxi skirts have no shape at all and mostly look like baggy sacks on me. And I generally find maxi skirts boring, I feel like a medieval nun in them with 0 skin showing. Midi skirts are my happy in-between.

[@AM-bm2xw]

@@lelexoxo303 "medieval nun", I love it 🤣 to each their own!

[@misss7777]

​​@@lelexoxo303 I like both maxi and knee lenght dresses. Midi dresses make my short legged self look quite short overall and minis don't work for me because I've got quite a big butt and that makes them even shorter plus I hate sticking to the chair when sitting down. But it all comes down to proportion. Other people look best in midi and mini skirts.

[@camillalundgren3485]

Is this about age? Tina Turner wore mini skirts perfectly fine, but I dont know, it is difficult.

[@AM-bm2xw]

@@camillalundgren3485 I think it just has to do with each person's body type and how they feel in different things.

[@Kitty26_y2k]

Im so excited to get your book! My mom also wants to read it as well!💕😹😊

[@nazokashii]

Always love the anti hauls :D so useful too, that you always mention what's actually good ;) also, I'm completely with you on the military thing - the only thing I'm vehemently against is war and violence. Thank you so much

[@rororo869]

Another thing with metallic clothing in general is that most of those shiny fabrics don’t wash that well, it is not really something you can wear again and again.

[@maianackovska1614]

I would love to see a video on how to pick an oversized blazer. I love your style, you always look so chic. Whenever I put on an oversized blazer something is feeling off and I can't put my finger on what. I think a lot of us want to hear your take as a scandi on this topic. Take care 🥰

[@deborahhoch2662]

Maxi for me! Your makeup is fabulous especially in the black outfit. Please do a make-up tutorial! I’ve asked before! Anyone with me????

[@leonore3349]

I noticed that too.

[@eljj7968]

Agree on the knee-length skirts - I feel like they only look ok on really tall people, but even still I prefer the look of above or below the knee.

[@mikaelahallenberg8243]

Tjena Jenny, I would love to try the Congee you talked about in your vegan video, is there a recipe out there somewhere?

[@janetlettrich2705]

totally agree on the knee length skirts!

[@no_worries194]

Most guys that I have met, that were ok, wore military green, so I wear it too.

[@user-fw5wb4rt2n]

I see you already have a very nice tie dye kind of shirt at 2:50! Where is it from?

[@TheMennomilist]

I have been into florals my whole life, so usually that is what I wear most (vintage 70s styled sundresses and such). Simple black, floral, or gingham dresses delight me. The new cottagecore trend is totally how I have always been. The armourcore is odd for me and I don't like military stuff to wear as well. Anything that promotes warfare and such is. . .ugh. Over a decade ago, my mom used to buy my now older children camouflage clothing because my dad was in the Army and thought it would be nice for him, but I told her to stop because I am anti war and a major pacifist. I had used what was given to me at the time, but put my foot down when she kept going at it after a couple of years. I love the lounge pieces by Organic Basics you are wearing. They are very nice. I just gave birth and will be in this awkward stage of getting back to normal and those look like things that could help as I transition to my normal size again.

[@julierosie62]

Pre-ordered the audiobook! No doubt I’ll get the actual book at a later date but yay!

[@LinnieCat]

Just ordered your book!

[@JennyMustard]

yaaay, thank you!

[@carochan86]

I don't think there is an organic basics in the USa anymore. I like the idea of finding well made clothes that can be worn a lot. At the same time even high end brands have low quality made clothes. I appreciate your anti haul is realistic and rational.

[@joannalukaszuk2260]

I am tempted to make a tie dye myself :) at home

[@freesiajasmine534]

I must say I do have 2 polka dot scarves that I wear every summer! And 2 is enough for me. I love bright colours. But each to their own! I can relate re metallics & some of the other things

[@schneeroseful]

Waiting for the Audio book. Knee length skirts are Office wear... I do prefer longer skirts as they are more flattering on me and I do not have to constantly mind my lega when sitting

[@woolypuffin392]

I love the t-shirt and jewellry you wore here!

[@hanaoji7000]

I can’t find the US pre order link, am I crazy? Every link I check takes me to UK based sites

[@roses479]

Love all your videos

[@eli19999]

Hi, I just found your channel and I love your vibe😍

[@maipensapparot]

What is cordial?

[@melaniecheung3339]

nooooo, i love midi skirts

[@amandalapanda394]

Jenny, makeup is on point! 🫶

[@sandrah.5965]

I love these. It’s wonderful to see a vegan understand this lifestyle naturally calls for minimalism

[@laurasandovals]

Appreciate the love you put into this

[@josefin6134]

Would love a guide for good vegan shoe and bag brands. Of course we do not want to over consume, but I find it really tricky to find good quality vegan bags and shoes. Maybe something for your insta reels? ☺️

[@branwenn]

I have bought from Matt&Nat for years and love their products. I've been using the same bag for years and it looks brand new.

[@carliemichelle3110]

Love your anti hauls. I definitely do a one in, one out. 😊❤

[@80apocryphal13]

I'm very much in love with this variation of tie-dye, but I tend to wear a lot of pattern, so something like that reads more neutral for me and I already have a few good pieces and don't need more. I love the metallic too but it gets hot and I need my clothes to breathe. Ngl, I wasn't expecting your hot take on knightcore/military inspired stuff but I enjoy a lot of fashion history content, and between innovation and surplus a lot of the ways people have interact with that type of clothing is usually less glorification and more practicality (though I do also enjoy the former in a Renfair, RPG sort of way, so I get associations matter.) Still, I don't have much interest in it or any of the rest that I see them as something I'd actually want to add.

[@Tinchabella]

When will the German edition of Okay Days be out? Will the title be the same?

[@monicagill01]

I’d like to see what you’d wear for a summer wedding guest

[@kimberlywilliams5783]

❤❤❤ you are one cool chick. I love your videos and your sweet kind spirit.

[@twocancan]

personally I don't wear any camo print because I associate it with uneducated people, but you gave me another good reason to stay away from anything military-inspired. I suppose combat boots get a pass though?

[@janastrigel6218]

Weak cordial over here als well - great comparison🤍 being 1,65m and hourglass-shaped it's just not my vibe... instead give me all the 90s minimalism (besides the knee-length skirts of course). Love the content as always🌞

[@startpage717]

Yes. one in two out.

[@amylolois]

agree, agree, agree!

[@HR-re6mr]

Love an anti hail! I’m not buying those long denim skirt, no bright neon and no oran dupes

[@brunagauer680]

Jenny! Thanks for putting out this video, let's not romanticize war and uniforms, living in Germany I always feel it brings the Nazi vibes, even thought it has nothing to do with it, but once upon a time it had.. the other trends I couldn't agree more! Kiss and hugs for you!

[@emmy8526]

I agree with you about knee length. It’s the dowdiest length. Modest without the practicality of a midi or maxi.

[@Cheree_Wright]

I like metallics and Y2K minimalism

[@lenkaklapalova]

I love these videos! Thank you! For me, the only "trend" I agree with are these knee-length skirts. Other than that, not very much indeed 🙂 And yaaay for Okay Days to arrive soon! I think I will be crying happy tears after opening your novel. Weirdly enough, you share so much that I feel I really know you. So it would be almost like reading a novel written by a friend. Cannot wait! 🤩

[@Slastukin67]

Here in Canada I associate camouflage print with hunting. As a vegan, why would I want to resemble a duck hunter? Either way, war or hunting - I don't want my wardrobe to have associations with death. Besides, I look horrible in khaki and dull earthy greens.

[@darlenekearney3259]

You can wear silver or gold

[@farewellDebut310]

Agree re military patterns and styles-and leather. I gave up on leather accessories five years ago. I hope I live to see the day when most think leather barbaric.

[@JuoPolly]

Also sticking to the basics and vegan bags ))

[@asweetiepiebtw2032]

[@kristy_Henry]

i feel exactly the same about knee length skirts. they make me feel kind of bla, but love it on others. just isn't for me

[@MsDancer5000]

Tie dyeing is something you easily can do by yourself :)

[@winterburden]

Thanks Jenny Mustard!

[@cubicuara]

i LOVE knee- length skirts , becuase they are not too short and not too long hehehe 😅😅😅😍

I bought a tie-dye swimming costume, very nice. That’ll do me. ✔VG.

[@livlarsonandrews9552]

Amen to your "what the hell?" about romanticizing war. Yup!

[@pigeondance]

yeah, military wear has always given me the ick

[@isabellemackay-sim5439]

That's exactly what I've been trying to express about knee length skirts!! Weak cordial!

[@silviamilin6529]

Knee length makes me look way older. And makes me look fatter, so I avoid it like fire.
