People commenting about money on Ashley's videos seem to forget that she's talking about INVESTMENTS... clothes and shoes that are meant to last. Instead of buying cheaper things that you'll keep having to replace, this is actually more cost effective in the long run. Also there are companies like afterpay and klarna which divide the cost of your purchase out into installments (really helpful). Ashley also believes in buying clothes sustainably, which often times is more expensive than bigger brands that cost less. And of course you can always thrift! Everybody deserves to look stylish, at whatever price is good for them.

[@faith2461]

Kaiapanda94 thank you for your words of wisdom.

[@phuongd.8294]

[@loraloo]

Thrifting is amazing if you know what you're looking for! Goodwill is 👌👌

And it's not just hyper pieces tho. It was something you would wear for an extended amount of time and will never go out of style.

[@nella2214]

yall need to remember that ashley is an adult. The clothes she invests in are probably going to fit her forever. If you're a teen with a really small budget who probably isn't going to graduate with half your wardrobe these are obviously not ideal pieces for you!! Just wait till you've stopped growing and your wardrobe will build up fast and you can buy expensive items

[@Feliciatanktop]

This 100%. I’m 24 and I’m in the process of investing into quality clothes. I’ve gotten rid of all of the Forever 21, H&M, Zara, etc in my closet and just shop at sustainable stores with good quality clothes or I buy from goodwill outlets and thrift stores. I started building a tiny little jewelry collection with real gold. It’s expensive but once you become an adult and start making more money, you’re able to spend more on items that you can invest in. When I was a broke college kid I would buy $6 tops from Shein or something and the threads would be loose upon opening the package and would fall apart in the washer. It’s cheaper and better for the environment to buy one good quality pair of $95 jeans that’ll last forever than buying a new pair of crappy $25 FashionNova jeans every 6 months. The difference in wearing the nicer clothes knowing they’ll last a long time vs how I felt in my cheap Forever 21 clothes is astonishing

[@chanelssugar]

Makes sense so not to contradict, I agree with that.

That is so true, I have a couple years of high school left so it makes more sense to build a wardrobe after that

It’s me, two years later. I completely have a different opinion now than I did back then. The purpose of this video is to help OTHERS find clothes, so Ashley should be promoting brands that OTHERS can buy. It would be one things i’d these brands were particularly sustainable and long lasting, meant to be bought once or twice a year or last forever, but they’re not. I rescind my earlier statement!

[@adeletaylor2883]

@@Sneha-de9xu Hi! i could be considered pretty skinny. The first advice I have for you is to not call yourself ugly, because even if you DO look good in an outfit, you won't think so. This will do nothing for your mental health and your self esteem. I know it harder than it looks, but it's possible. Tell yourself everyday the thing you like about how you look and soon enough the "flaws" won't bother you so much. The next thing I would suggest when it comes to clothes is find what you like! Wear the things you like. Quality is better than the quanity of clothing for sure in this regard. Styling choices I personally think help as a skinny person is that I personally enjoy wearing slightly baggy shirts and tucking them in, if you don't like this look don't do it but it will make you look slightly less skinny and put together. If you like clothes with puffed sleeves I would wear them because it can help your shoulders be more broad looking, and in the fall and winter layering always looks good! I personally like long cardigans as well for this step, but you can do whatever suits you

I'm coming back 4 months after watching this video to share a PSA: EXPENSIVE JEANS ARE NOTICEABLE! I never cared too much about jeans because they're expensive as heck, but after I got smarter with shopping I'm never going back. I've never bought an expensive pair of jeans for full price but thanks to depop I have 4 pairs of vintage and/or name brand 100% cotton jeans and since then my jean radar has been beeping. I don't know how, but I really notice jeans in an outfit now. Even when browsing on depop I can tell whether or not jeans are good quality or not just from the picture. And that means I notice on the daily with people I meet, too. Obviously it doesn't matter in the long run if people have good jeans on or not, but good jeans do stand out. I've become more confident when I wear jeans because I know they fit well and look good. I really agree with Ashley that a good pair of jeans changes the whole game. But if you don't have the $100 to spend and your thrift store is an abyss of grandpa clothes, definitely try depop, there's so much selection.

I'm a senior in highschool who's finally confident enough to force myself out of that "Why bother trying to dress well if I'm not naturally pretty, I'll just wear what my mom buys for me" phase and actually changing things I'm capable of changing, like hair and makeup and fashion. And honestly, getting comments about the way I've put together an outfit or the way I look in a certain piece of clothing makes me so happy because it's something I actually worked on changing for myself. People say you dress well for the benefit of other people, but that couldn't be further from the truth for me. When I look in the mirror and love the way I look because I CHOSE to look that way, I'm unstoppable.

I am mostly lost in thrift stores, ‘cause I never know what exactly I’m looking for. So this video is really giving great advise at what to look for in clothes. Love that.

[@indiemainstream2947]

Remember: there are no essentials in a closet that works for everyone. You can take this video as inspiration, but do not take it as facts. Your essentials should be what YOU wear the most. Maybe a pair of yellow pants and a neon shirt is your essentials. If so, it is important that you have them in your closet instead of filling up it with things you should have. My essentials is bright blue mom jeans and a black oversized hoodie, among other things. But I have a black mini skirt in my closet that I’ve had for years and only wore once. I got it because it’s an essential and an easy way to dress up. But do not do this, do not buy essentials just because you should have them!
