Just go crazy 💁
when she said, “i don’t know if you went through this, but in middle school, every year, i would get so attached to one hoodie jacket situation, and i would wear that hoodie everyday, for the rest of the year.” i felt that skskskskskjf
sksksksksk spill the tea sis SkKskkKsk
Ughhh I’m living that it’s so frikin truuuuuue
oh my god that happened to me. I only wore one jacket for the WHOLE middle school
i literally wore a green bomber jacket almost ever single day in middle school and switched it out for purple university hoodie my freshman year of high school. i wore black leggings, white combat boots, and that hoodie to the point my mom had to hide it to stop me from wearing it.
YESSS lmao I remember what they looked like too
the only person i can watch thats talking about clothing for 20 mins
same lmao
Same I actually want this to be longer
um wow those likes!!

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
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
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
@@trishaagz yea. I also get bigger clothes cos I just started high school and as a female I end my growth short earlier so after that I'm just gonna work on my closet but getting bigger clothes is my best option
Thank you this made me feel so much better
"finding a good pair of jeans is like finding a f*cking rare pokemon"
I have ONE pair of jeans that actually fits and I take care of that pair like my family heirloom ok
Clara Yu same
Clara Yu ACTUAL SAME
I have a pair of blue jeans that I’ve been wearing for the last two years and finally found a good pair of black denim jeans a few weeks ago at a op shop lol. I feel like it takes years to find a decent pair.
Same
Same, cuz I have long legs and a tiny waste so I can't find skinny jeans that fit so I only wear baggy mom jeans now
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.
Kaiapanda94 thank you for your words of wisdom.
That's exactly what i thought
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.
queen
My style has improved so much since I started watching her

The effort that you put into your videos is phenomenal! You're amazing
Everyone is like:
"How does she afford it?"
And nobody remembers
*That's her job*
lol fr tho
Exactly
frrrr
Well and in another video she talked about how when she first started her channel she couldn't afford it all and that's what got her into thrifting!
Plus, brands will also gift her things, like one of the beige heels she showed, she mentioned in another video that they were given to her from the brand.
*”so we’re gonna be working from most expensive to least expensive”*
Me: sKiPS FOrwaRd 10 seCOndS
😂
Cuz 10 secs makes a big difference 😂
hi :) I have a little channel :3 I will be happy if u check my videos or sub on it, thanks if u do it !! ♡
I still can’t afford them lol, i spend around 30 and it’s a lot
more like skip forward 10 minutes
MyBlogFloriana nah xxx
The cotton/spandex tip is seriously the most valuable clothing lesson I’ve learned in a long time. I always hated how my jeans seemed to get lumpy and frumpy after a few wears, but the 100% cotton ones really do hold your booty and keep their shape SO MUCH better!
Forgot to add: Agolde from Aritzia makes super cute 90’s style jeans. They are expensive, but luckily Everlane makes a very similar one for $60 that is 100% cotton! (That’s the one I own haha)
honestly you are probably my favourite TH-cam channel and I love everything you do because they all help me so much because my fashion sense is dire aha
If you love her you’ll also love Kristen Leo!! She makes the best fashion/budgeting/informative vids :)
Toni Sevdalis has really cute fashion! 💛
@@abbynoso3140 omg! Thanks for that recommendation! On first glance, her videos seem very lovely c:

“Zoella was still popular"
THE SHADE😂
Maebh Carey HAHA 😂
No tea, no shade, just facts😳😴
I don’t get it...she is still popular no? Big on TH-cam
But it’s actually so true, I remember watching her but then forgetting who was she..😂😂😂
Maebh Carey how did I miss this🤷♀️?? It too late in London rn 😂😂🤷♀️
Everyone in the comments is like the I’m broke and can’t afford it. The thing everyone seems to forget is that this is Ashley’s job. Having a good wardrobe is how she makes her money.
Edit: Hello! 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!
Brooke but if it’s like essentials then people might expect it to be reasonable priced because they came for something like style
@@baddie969 precisely. Essentials should be affordable for the average person.
they are also forgetting that these pieces are sustainable and is meant to be worn for ages!!
@@NormallyImKim you don't have to buy the exact brand. just find something similar. the reason why ashley recommended these are 1) they're tried and tested 2) good brand 3) sustainable and good fabric 4) will last for a long ass time
@@NormallyImKim only wearing the essentials is more affordable than wearing fast fashion
also remember she’s talking about closet essentials not the specific clothes she’s showing
Hey!! Random stranger just wanted to ask you something.....
I am very skinny, very very skinny..
And you know whenever I tell my online frnds that I am skinny they thing that I look like Korean ppl you know....
But no.... I look very ugly and nothing suits me...
My mom buy me beautiful expensive cloths but nothing look GUd on me...
So was just wondering can you tell me what types of clothes should u wear...
@@Sneha-de9xu i don't know what type of clothes suits a skinny person (bc i'm not skinny), but maybe you should try 3 things
1. LOVE YOURSELF!!! stop saying you're ugly!!
2. Try the clothes that YOU like. It's not necesary to buy expensive clothes, just buy what looks good on you.
3. If none of this works, try using oversized clothing, so you will not look very skinny.
I'm sorry for any mistakes, i'm not very good at english ♡
@@Sneha-de9xu hey I'm skinny too! I think maybe dresses like the floral ones that go upto your knee (they look good on me). I am muslim so all of my clothes have to be a little loose and it looks good so try things that are a bit more loose.
@@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
that white tshirt just called me broke in 200 different languages
Same
The problem with this statement is that there isn’t even 200 languages but it’s still true 😂
@@renoirrr There actually are more than that if we count every language spoken by like 50 people in some isolated village :)
i didn’t even watch the video and laughed so hard at that comment
Anjali there’s more than 6,000 languages wdym
*HOLY SHIZZLE*
She linked all the outfits in the description!
Now that, children, is what we call dedication.
Citrus 10 months, 1000 likes, and I’m the first to comment. I feel the *power*
Remember guys, thrifting is an affordable way to look for essentials.
Yea if there was a such thing as thrifting where I live
If only there was thrift stores in the uk but like even if they did my parents would be like ITS SECOND HAND or GERMS etc
Vanila legit just wash it with a detergent. Like done. No germs. Good as new.
@@vanila6923 Charity shops o,o
i found my favorite black tshirt at a thrift store, so i would recommend
Me, looking at my 12 graphic tees and 0 plain tees: "Hmm."
In my opinion, graphic tees can still look pretty good paired with a pair of jeans and a denim jacket.
Graphic Tees ROCK
@@isabelrose4454 ba dum tsss
Lol for me almost all my t shirts are vbs school shirts
"You know when you hold something that's actual ly well made?" that's exactly how i feel when watching your channel, i know im getting actual good advice and content and it even gets me out of my comfort zone :3
I love that your fashion content isn’t about shopping, but actually helpful!
Thank god I found her channel. She definitely has the best style.(Her voice is also gr8 and not annoying)
Watching this as a sophomore in highschool, it was not realistic for me to build an entire closet like this right away, but now as a senior in college I feel like my closet is finally at this point! So if anyone is watching this and feeling like this is unobtainable, it’s because on short notice, IT IS!! And that’s ok. Building up a closet like this takes time but starting out with a few of these pieces will still add so much to your wardrobe. Since highschool, my style has developed a lot more but this video was such a good foundation for me and my closet, I hope people continue to find it :)
this is what I look forward to the most each week. THX FOR YOUR EFFORT AND QUALITY CONTENT ASHLEY! You da best
I’m currently cleaning out my closet for stuff I don’t wear/doesn’t fit and HOLY HELL WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FLORAL PRINTS?!
Moira Shoffstall SAMEEEEE UGH

As a Swede, hearing you try and pronounce ”fjällräven kånken” was hilarious so thank you for that.
you're like one of those youtubers that when i'm stressed and scared late at night, your videos calm me down and help me fall asleep. idk if this is for anyone else but if i'm having a panic attack, ashley is just super calming
i also watch her when im sad at night, shes like a friend to me lol
i blame ashley for making me NOT watch any other youtubers ever again, i only watch her everyday and every night lol (i’m not complaining tho 😎 cos she’s the best) AND YES!!! SHE’S SO FUCKING CALMING THAT HER VIDS JUST EASE YOUR ANXIETY AND MAKES YOU LOVE YOURSELF AGAIN DAMN I LOVE HER
"falafel kajanken"

Question: why does everyone use those backpacks. It's not like your binder and laptop fit there 🤔
Sophia Mendoza-Rodriguez When I got mine, it was smaller than I thought, but I’ve been using it and discovered that I can actually fit my binder, laptop, pencil case, planner, book, and clothes.
@@breezeaguilar7076 wow! Really! They looked cute and small, I never thought that they had that much room!
@@sophii7906 Yeah. I'm tired of people saying that "white girls have taken over that hiking brand" when I have one and it has lasted me longer than all my other backpacks (which i also use it for traveling)

Ashley has so much bi energy and she may not be bi but them GOSH DARN FINGER GUNS. My hero
We need that relatable attitude
She just Delta Burke’d us all 😂
damn ashley’s only 21 and she’s so successful and knowledgeable. I feel so proud of her even tho I don’t know her bc I’m 20 and idk what I’m doing with my life and know nothing
How are you doing now with your life?
are u better now?
I hope you are happier now. Take care !
I'm joining the 20s club soon so I'm right there with you, here's hoping that we both can figure things out
it's ok to know nothing at that age. i'm sure you're doing just fine!
Ashley: reasonable price for a good pair of jeans.
Me: * looks at my favourite pair of jeans I bought on sale for $7 *

scrolled too much to find this lol
Lol
i laughed too hard at that lmao
HAHAHAH I DIED
As a swede im offended HAHAHA
Tip for everyone who can’t afford these brands: don’t focus on the brand name she is mentioning, and first compare the pieces she shows to what you already have in your closet (most of us actually have many of them) and/or make a note of the type of piece she mentions that you like, and look for it at thrift stores/affordable stores. “Beige cropped sweater, straight leg high rise jeans,” etc.
It’s about the style not the specific brand! 🙂
Mel W and the material of course! You have to make sure it will last, especially if you know your gonna wear it a lot
Hey!! Random stranger just wanted to ask you something.....
I am very skinny, very very skinny..
And you know whenever I tell my online frnds that I am skinny they thing that I look like Korean ppl you know....
But no.... I look very ugly and nothing suits me...
My mom buy me beautiful expensive cloths but nothing look GUd on me...
So was just wondering can you tell me what types of clothes should u wear...
@@Sneha-de9xu late but if you want to hid the skinny part, then don't wear something tight. wear something flowy and maybe try frills (they're cute!)
you can also try to layer your clothes using puffy thing like; puffy sleeves for blouser, and then put some cardigan with wide leg pants(idk what they call but the one that is big around the ankle??)
if you're rich or something, try out a couple big hats!
thought you can just wear an over-size sweatshirt with a high waist loose pants(or smth)
I don't know much lol
@@Sneha-de9xu hey! I am a bit late, but try wearing less skinny clothes to hide the skinny parts of your body (if that's what you want). I think bell bottom pants look great on skinny people, so maybe try those. And also everything that @lovely mii said. and remember, expensive clothes and brands don't necessarily mean the clothes are gonna suit you. take time and study your body and different styles of clothes and I'm sure you're gonna find something :)
Also, go to a goodwill in a small city, or the edge of a big city, prices are still pretty cheap, there will be hundreds of jeans there.
"im not a real adult" ashley is so honest LMFAO she makes me feel better abt myself
you know youve watched too much of ashley when you can recognise almost everything in this video lol

“FALAFEL KADJANKEN”
Love how you try to say Kånken, always wanted to know how non Swedish people thought it was pronounced!
I have never heard any non -Swedish- Nordic person pronounce it the right way 😂 Someone (swedish) should make a video of how to pronounce it
Isabelle there are. I have never watched any myself because I am Swedish though 😂
@@rosalyngummer6587 Yeah I am Swedish too :) If you listen to the top videos that come up when you search for it, you will hear that the pronunciations are still really questionable 😂 Or they don't even get it right, like the channel "how to pronounce"
Isabelle can you spell out the pronunciation
sksksk in singapore, everyone gives up and just says kanken
Please make a video about how you found your style and how people can “branch out”, as you said !
suga honeyy Yesss!!
Yess
your videos helped me find my style so much!! when i first started watching you i wore skinny leggings, tight crop tops that didn’t fit and uncomfortable primark clothes. i was scared to be girly and to express myself while also being comfortable, and having valid opinions. now i dress like i live in a cottage, sometimes hippie/punk, my style is so much nicer and i’m so much more confident! it boosted my confidence in my body, my personality (my clothing not reflecting who i am as a person) and feeling comfortable in my femininity. deadass i owe it to you so thank you 💕💕
"The middle school hoodie..." Glad to hear it wasn't just me going through that phase lol
cameron gay i had that with shoes lol
me with my hufflepuff sweater...
i was always in my H&M black hoodie literally EVERY day, even the summer.
I had that but with a really ugly camo sweater. I didn't realize until after I stopped wearing it that it said Tokyo and smth cringe on the back

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 sorry...but 82 DOLLA FOR A WHITE TEE.
AM I BROKE or AM I BROKE
lasya gundala you're broke! But so am I 😂
I would be broke if I spent my money like that..... I felt my wallet met Jesus when she said that!
Even if I wasnt broke I wouldnt spend $80 on a plain tee shirt, that's a little silly thb....
I was kind of surprised when she said that, but yet again it's about having a white tee not having an expensive tee.
@@selene4563 ye ig she just splurges on basics. I respect it...its just not me
For Madewell bring in an old pair of jeans you want to get rid of (any brand) and they'll give you a 20 dollar discount on a new pair! If you wait until they have store-wide sales and use this discount the jeans get way more affordable (and you get to recycle your denim instead of throwing it out! Yay sustainability!)
Cool
no way really! i love madwell ! i have a few pairs I would like to get rid of but dunno if they'll take all of them?
time to get some coint
linamarr put on a fake mustache and ask them.
if they say no you can just come back to the store and noone will remember you!
win win
@@untitled1464 they'll actually take as many pairs as you have, but you can only use one discount per new jean. So if you have four pairs of jeans you want to get rid of, you can get 20 dollars off four separate new pairs of jeans! So you can't get a new pair for free or anything (unfortunately!)
one time when i went to abercrombie, i found the exact jeans that I wanted and it was MAGICAL
oh my god thats fabulous
Congrats girl
Congrats, but Abercrombie is hella expensive ;-;
I found my pair of magical jeans and I can't stop wearing them haha
One time I went to abercrombie, saw a 52 dollar shirt and left

12:27 “crew neck sweaters are so boring and unflattering”
Me: oh (burns 70% of my wardrobe)
i love crew necks so much 😂 i have a school sweater i bought that has a hoodie but instead i stole my boyfriend's crew neck and gave him my hoodie since i like crew necks 😂
Why is this me
crew necks are the absolute best. keeps you warm and hides your titties, just the way i like it
Nope nope nope. I mean I only have like one (I passed them to my sister as hand-me downs because she liked them), but it’s your style you know? Like you can pair them with things that make you feel well dressed. The one that I have is from hm and I got it oversized. It has bell sleeves and I wear it with a pencil skirt and loafers.
shes the first youtuber that actually made me felt like she was genuinly thanking me for watching her video
Me, and Australian, watching videos from across the globe: "hmm, probably brands I won't be able to buy from.."
Ashley, 4 minutes in: "My current favourite pair; they're from Afends, a small, sustainable Australian--"
Me: *furiously searching up Afends*
L same
Oh same
Ikr i thought all those American brands would be so out of reach, then…
I'd add some classic raybans and good quality belts to the list. These can make your outfit look so much more put together and effortless chic
yes! can we get a guide to some essential accessories!?
I love that idea!
I'm so attached to Ashley now that when I shop for clothes I always say "Oh this is what Ashley might actually wear" HELP...
Duday x Sameee my friend and I look at cute pieces going oo ashley would like this ajshsjk
ME TOO LOL
Same here and my friends are always super confused so I have to explain to them who Ashley is :')
Same here girl
who doesnt get attached to ashley when watching her haha
this is the only closet essentials video that is actually helpful
I come back to this video every month to check off what I have, and I'm happy to announce I finally bought a black and a white t-shirt that fit the way I want, and they were from a local clothing store so super affordable! 😊😊
YES THANK YOU!!

PERFECTION
THIS VIDEO IS A BLESSING
Tip: Don't buy expensive shoes like Dr Martens if your feet are still growing.
Omg thank you! Didn’t think of that.
ik, it's too bad because i would love a good pair, but i guess i'll have to stick with my sneakers for now
@@shayla4007 You can always see if you have a friend or can find someone that doesn't need theirs anymore :) second hand will always be less expensive
FACTS!! I'm trying to tell my sister this and she won't listen😂
And that is why I have no good shoes
Who else thinks Ashley should make a clothing line or merch at least
I feel like she’s working on this for some reason...
meeeeee
Or maybe a “thrifted by Ashley line”
bestdressedstore.com
I love how her vibe, voice, and personality says like, tomboy but her style is girly but not too much and is really creative.
She can literally start a clothing line
she's starting one!

I used to have these one pair of skinny jeans from Walmart that I randomly picked up while looking for snacks and they, I kid you not, lasted a good 3-4 years.
I wish that supermarket jeans would fit me. They're all too short and don't go down to XS :(

Look trough Cheap Monday Clothing! Some of them are made sustainable and theyre really good. Around 60$

"Fancy Pirate" is my aesthetic.
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.
YES ✨💅💃 this boosted my confidence so much
@@celeste.pavillard-pitts Aw I'm glad 😊❤️
When you are not naturally pretty you have to focus on clothes, make up, hair etc extra hard. You cant change your face but style and way of carrying yourself can do a lot for you
if you think a 20 dollars shirt is s expensive be careful when watching this video bc you might spit out your tap water.
•LYNDA• I don’t drink water while watching TH-cam...

if it's good quality and cute, 20 dollars isn't expensive.

wait, at the risk of sounding really stupid, what did you expect her to call them?

Who else wears overized clothing cuz they insecure not cuz they trying to be cute
awww i used to be like that too (sweatpants+ sweatshirts) but I just love how our generation boosted everyones confidence
I think it’s pretty easy to incorporate the whole oversized look into your style! What’s most important is that your style makes you comfortable. I love the oversized look and I wish I could pull it off.
That’s because you haven’t found your style yet! Once you find a style that you feel comfortable and confident in, you won’t be as insecure anymore. Trust me I know.
Most of my wardrobe includes oversized hoodies case my parents a have a problem with legit everything I wear. I have never choosen an outfit with them not tearing me down about it. And when I try to dress nicely they act someone else is influencing me to do so. They don't know that they are the ones ruining my confidence. 😳😳😕
@@michie_cool4282 I have never related more to a comment than this one

Nah, that's a super personal and family oriented thing. Better to keep that within the family. Ashley is great because her content is so genuine, I feel like exploiting her parents' reaction would be kinda out of place.

Y’all, you buy nice clothes over time. That’s how you get good clothes essentials, you have to save up to splurge at some point! I’m not rich by any means, but I’ve worked and saved up for some Timberlands i thought I could never own! :)
but still 80 bucks for a white t shirt is a tad whack
But people get bored wearing the same pieces over and over again and people would start to find you boring if you wore the same pieces again and again no mater how expensive they were. You think the pop stars are going to wear the same pieces over and over again? Their career would be over if that's what they did. They wear new clothes all the time to keep the public interested in them. That can be applied to every day people too. People can find you boring and not want to be your friend anymore lol.
Jamil Gotcher if people don’t wanna be your friend because you wear the same cothing piece a few times i think you need to find better friends-
@@kookiekrumblez7766 I'm sure she was talking about wearing them more than a few times.
Jamil Gotcher still if someone dosent wanna be friends with you because u have good basics to layer and spice up then u need better friends
@@jamilgotcher5456 Every day people shouldn't be held to the same standards as pop stars, because often pop stars get sent clothes to wear! Plus, we don't really see what they wear off duty. That pop star level of wardrobe novelty is almost all fabricated. I can understand you getting bored of a unique piece if you wear it over and over, but the comment and video were talking about basics (white tees, jeans, etc). These are meant to be repeated for their simplicity. Also, as others said, if someone finds you boring because of your clothing, you probably don't want to be friends with people who make decisions so superficially. I wouldn't worry too much about what other people think, it's your life & your style, not theirs!
