Something about Jessicas aura makes me love her so much

[@lovejessicablair]

aww you’re so sweet 🥺💗💗 tysm my love

[@earthfa333]

I agree❤

[@eileencollazo5243]

I know! She’s so pretty and wears great clothes, great outfits!😊

[@hannahpaton6571]

I just want to take a moment to say thank you! Your videos have been a game-changer for me as a plus sized girlie. You've encouraged me to experiment with my style and given me the confidence to wear them out. Keep doing what you do because you're making a positive impact on so many lives, mine included!

[@lovejessicablair]

aww you have no idea how much that means to me!! thank you sm my love

[@sandy80334]

Honestly as a plus size person my New Year’s resolution is learning to sew, make jewelry, and crochet. My brother always tells me we don’t negotiate with clothing, and being 25 I’m like yeah fuck discomfort in anyway.

[@lovejessicablair]

same! I’d love to learn how to make my own clothes + alter the ones I have

[@Leslie.P.]

I have the same struggle! When I go thrifting with my skinny friends they always find cute stuff and I end up crying bc everything in my size is ugly 😩

[@lovejessicablair]

when they find something in a size Medium and are like “this would be so cute on you” like …. ok babe 😭

[@anikejulien7273]

@lovejessicablair I had a friend give me clothes to try on and she didn't even check the sizes before handing them to me, she just thought they were cute. It was an extremely long process realizing they all won't fit and I had to tell her that through the door in a public space. She meant well but oh my gosh 😭.

[@HorseFighty]

I really respect the authenticity of not finding much and not overbuying. I love shopping, collecting, and self-expression, but with how normalized overconsumption is even in thrifting, it can be hard to not get something "just to get something." You're stunning and gorgeous as always stay wonderful

[@Emily-nj3bz]

thank you for continuing to be proof that you can be hot and a baddie and Still Mask !!! it’s all connected !!

[@lovejessicablair]

ofc!! will continue to mask + stay current on my boosters & encourage everyone around me to do the same !

[@cricketmhm8378]

as a size 18 i really love your videos and content in general it has helped me so much. KEEP MAKING CONTENT GIRL

[@meggie2192]

As a plus sized person, I really appreciate this! The struggle is real and its nice to see someone my size style things.

[@DarthFurie]

I appreciate you sharing this, I wear between a size 10-14 depending on the garment and how I want it to fit, but I still have this mentality that thrifting isn't "for me." Every once in a while I'll go, but as a New Yorker I have only thrifted when I'm out of town. The thrifting scene in NY seems really different and my experience matches yours (expensive, disappointing, way less selection than out of town, and weird scenarios happening inside the stores lol)

[@lovejessicablair]

honestly that’s why I usually also wait until I’m out of town (like visiting family in the midwest) to thrift :”)

[@mochi_ani]

The way that you’re an otherworldly goddess through and through. One of the reasons I love you and your channel so much is that you totally get that style is about how you feel, and that clothing is a cool ass form of expression - it’s not just about the look. (Which you’re always pulling the baddest, coolest, most unique looks I must add.) This whole video had me thinking about how my wardrobe must werk for me and that I want to continue to thrift things that I know I’m gonna get so much use out of! The snail tie was a must and your mom is an icon for many reasons including finding that dog bag. Sending u all the love Jess 🫰🏼🎋🪷✨🌸🎐🪩

[@lovejessicablair]

aw you have no idea how much I appreciate ur love and kindness 🥺 thank you soooo much my love & I hope you have an amazing year

[@naomicordova9057]

vids like this make me feel so safe and happy in my own body

[@asoullesssubstitutefortheh1793]

You really make me feel so better girl, like I CAN'T stop watching your videos and shorts. I have a new inspiration in my style and fashion thanks to you!

[@lovejessicablair]

aw stop ur making me blush!! thank u angel

[@sandy80334]

I live in nyc so anytime someone thrifts here I get semi hopeful they’ll find more plus size accommodating stuff.

[@TheHeatInColorPodcast]

you're so calming to watch and listen to your enthusiasm ❤️‍🔥 thank u

[@kat_church]

The little belt thing is honestly so true, I also live by that. As someone who lives for a layered fit, I always love how you style things so much.

[@GingerRootss]

THE FUR COAT OUTFIT IS EVERYTHING!!!!

[@user-tv3iq5qq7e]

I’m so happy to see other body types as a young person I’m tried of seeing the same cookie cutter body type and the pressure to look that way but seeing you confident in your body makes me feel better and good in my own

[@peristeris4749]

Many things I want to say. First I love thrifting videos and especially if they are being filmed by someone I like! Second omg the respecting people’s privacy and not filming them without consent concept is so simple and yet people never get it! Like just don’t film strangers? Lastly, I’m gonna go back to finishing the video happy new year!

[@lovejessicablair]

happy new year!!

[@vedacarbone8561]

I love your videos so much and the way you styled all the clothes at the end was SO cute

[@h0neybee333]

Thanks for making these videos you have such cute style! V much relate to thrifting as a size 18 being mostly *tumbleweed* and leaving w an interesting book instead

[@erinrabideau3691]

LOVE the glasses!! Great pieces!

[@chriskiefel7735]

You go girl! Rock the clothes you love! Be you!!!!🥰

[@fdd8747]

Snoopy is a king always

[@_st4reater]

i hope this doesn’t come off as creepy but you look like you’d smell like caramel apples and cinnamon. you just embody early fall, your presence is just so comforting and warm

[@lovejessicablair]

this is genuinely one of my favorite comments I’ve ever received :”) autumn is my favorite, thank u my love

[@lunaalyeska9744]

Lazlo’s quote takes this video on a next level

[@anolexolliver]

You say the most iconic things OMG "it's safe to say I do have trauma, and fear in my heart"‼️‼️‼️

[@roojinaakthar5252]

You're so pretty just like a doll 💜 I love you, you're incredible ♥️

[@sparksfly13]

okay but the styiling portion?!?!? you killed it, the fits look amazing 🤭

[@Ilisnaam]

I love your content, it feels so safe.. U are such an icon girl and I hope for more videos with thrifting (and hopefully with more fitting and cool, cheap clothes!!)))

[@lovejessicablair]

aw thank u my love!! 🥺💞💗

[@suruyuki]

Always love your videos, they're so fun to watch!! Due to an unfortunate hair-incident involving bleach my hair is now a little orange, but you make me feel much better about it lol🧡

[@lovejessicablair]

aw I’ve def been there and that’s why I’ll never bleach my hair at home again 🫶 I bet u rock it!!

[@snybies]

I love the sentiment you have about not needing to follow trends and instead make a wardrobe that one can instead style and feel good about no matter any trends that are big at the present moment! Love your style too, I adored the snail tie (I have snail earrings that reminded me of the print), and your black and grey striped scarf is so cute and fun! Your style makes me think sometimes of indie game characters or the early Resident Evil games! For some reason your outfits sometimes remind me of Claire Redfield. And the gorgeous furcoat is like If Albert Wesker was a super cool badass woman!

[@lovejessicablair]

lmao my bf and I really loved the part about resident evil/albert wesker 😭 thank u my love!!

[@sammiestuhr]

you look SO CUTE in those little y2k glasses!!! Tina fe slayy

[@TheCookieeis]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you dont film strangers

[@kelseychapman1174]

Love these spots you chose! If you ever want more choices for thrifting, come to Bushwick. We have 3 L Train vintage stores that are walkable to one another plus a million others - perfect neighborhood for thrifting.

[@naomicordova9057]

GORGEOOOUSSS ANGEL!!!! so stunning so perfect i- where did you get the glasses in the fur coat look?? IM PBSESSED ILYYYY

[@lovejessicablair]

etsy !! you can find tons of cool frames on there + take them to your eye doctor to put prescriptions in them

[@irinagromova5704]

Sooo cool!!! Love it❤❤❤

[@SoaringSpear]

That’s a good area to thrift! If you haven’t been to the L train over there, I think it’s worth it, they have a lot of true vintage. I think there’s also a crossroads in that area

[@lionfearts]

jessica tina fey is an ICON

[@au_barb]

I'm also plus sized and primarily thrift all my clothes. I usually have quite a bit of luck doing so, but I mostly shop the men's section. My style is kind of...goblin/grandpa core, I guess. So thrifted big man clothes work absolutely perfectly for that. 🤷 Also! You absolutely give Penelope Garcia vibes! Omg that is so iconic. Low key jealous!

[@haileyabecassis3713]

You should make a video about how to thrift less and stop over consuming... it's my biggest struggle 😭

[@xxxxxx-vd6yf]

777 views 😳 lots of luck for the new year babesss

[@Andyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Idk after watching you I feel more confident and wanting to piss people off by wearing clothes I like🔥 thank u for being inspiring 🫶🏼

[@melodaydream]

I absolutely love your editing stye

[@melodaydream]

also I hope physical media comes back too! one of my goals for 2024 is to collect more physical media :)

[@lovejessicablair]

aw thank u angel

[@Witchywoman13]

I agree about the physical media with prices going up on streaming services and everything else really. I’m of a similar size, truthfully, a bit bigger. I’m a big thrifter and get, as much as, possible, second hand, (thrift, eBay, etc). I love raiding the mens section at the thrift. I’m very much a vintage lover and have an eclectic style. (I’m a sag.). I so need to add the Macklemore song to several of my playlists. I kinda forgot about it, tbh. I also have to be careful about wearing heels. I got a knee injury at work and found out I have arthritis in both knees. 🤦‍♀️ long story longer, I enjoyed your video because clearly I relate to quite a bit of it.

[@duuuuuh5576]

You're so pretty

[@emilykirk1078]

I’m crying laughing at “what I did find was… a fart smell” and the following description 😂💀

[@OfCourseitsJulie]

Cool! You walked right past my building. You also missed what I think is the best thrift shop in the neighborhood, on Third Avenue between 22nd and 23rd.

[@heidim1377]

You killed it!!! Fantastic looks escpecially the Penny Lane

[@rileycook5798]

Ur hair was looking STUNNING in this video! (also what hair dye brand and color do u use?)

[@lovejessicablair]

I either use ion color brilliance or the garnier olia box dye in intense fire ruby ! (also thank u angel!!)

[@user-ui4zp1yt7h]

Love the Snoopy. The green plaid looks good on you. I have a degree in Fashion so I love the costume book. Have you had you color analysis done ? You should try it. You look like a True Autumn. Greens and browns look really good on you.

[@lovejessicablair]

I haven’t but I have always known that jewel tones look best on me so that makes sense! thank you!

[@Abhrx4kr]

Slay queen

[@leeleescraps]

First time seeing your video and I totally empathize what thrift shopping and being plus size is like have you tried thread up I haven’t, but this would be a good opportunity to get a sponsorship from them. I see a lot of KZbinrs using thread up, and I think they have a big plus size selection, I don’t know just an opinion.

[@dontaskdontpastel]

Great video 💕

[@kristinab8326]

That fur coat is everything! Where did your mom find it?

[@lovejessicablair]

fb marketplace! I forget the brand but you should def look on ur local marketplace + ebay

[@Emily_onFashion]

Penelope Garcia is truly an icon!!! And you are as well!! Have you had that denim skirt in the last outfit long? Because I think you were the inspiration for why I picked up a similar one *with attached grommet belt.* Thank you for this amazing video!!! I love your outfits soooo dang much! 🖤🖤🖤

[@lovejessicablair]

I haven’t had it for super long but I have made a few vids styling it! also ty my love

[@audreytaylorsversion]

[@Ann3Ric3]

[@stace_d]

Forgive me if it's been asked, but have you been to Plus Bklyn (in brooklyn)?? Secondhand clothing store that only sells plus sizes. They have slightly elevated prices, but awesome curation and it's a very charming shop

[@lovejessicablair]

I have but it’s been awhile so I def need to go back and try again!

[@HayleyRaphael]

You gotta hit the Plus Bus in brooklyn, and increase your budget if you can :)

[@TheHeatInColorPodcast]

[@kristie3592]

New York is different from the Midwest. I do find more plus-size thrift items in the Midwest. Still is a lot of Torrid though.

[@Rellylee]

Im a plus size girly from nyc and I know the BEST thrift stores that sell plus size, up to size 20 😊 but I’m afraid of telling people bc it’s a gem. Not me gatekeeping lol

[@cosmohaltermandeochoa4828]

loveeee come to brooklyn the thrift is soo much better for us fatties

[@lovejessicablair]

I’ve actually thrifted in brooklyn before but I need to go again!! maybe that’ll be a second thrift w me

[@cosmohaltermandeochoa4828]

[@shaistaali9802]

Please could you tell me where is the fur coat from plus the bag ur mum got of Facebook market place

[@lovejessicablair]

[@thelmasmyth1521]

[@chappellgroan]

So in love with you Jessica, you're so beautiful

[@lovejessicablair]

[@suzyvegetables]

N ono no it’s slayonetta don’t even worry

[@dotink]

My skinny adult daughters always fart when I thrift with them! Just rancid and I am like knock it off cuz everyone is going to think it's me cuz I'm fat 😂 My youngest walked up to me in an aisle the other day and said "do you smell that?" and I foolishly sniffed a big whiff 😂

[@TheLeahmarie]

Thank you for trying to avoid filming strangers! ❤

[@Bobaandboba23]

Is the first thrift store the one that plays African music if so I go there all the time lmao

[@lovejessicablair]

tbh I don’t fully remember but I think so !

[@pritybird8502]

Boyfriend q&a?

[@lovejessicablair]

possibly…..

[@jonnawyatt]

There isn't a recession in the US Economy is quite strong.

[@lovejessicablair]

wages are horrible, inflation is insane, housing is unaffordable, finding a decent job feels impossible. recession might’ve been the wrong word choice, but the sentiment remains
