I love fashion but I used to be stressed about not knowing what to wear bc I wanna to be “original” or “unique”. Then I realised that even when I was dressed simple and chic, the style I think suit me most, I was still considered by my friends as the “fashion girl”. At the end, no mather your style, Just be yourself gurlz ❤
On the whole sustainability/ fast fashion conversation I personally think the sustainable thing to do is for people to buy clothes that they like and will stay in their wardrobe for a long time and understand that might look different from person to person. If someone buys clothes from this great ethical sustainable brand but doesn't actually like the clothes and so doesn't wear them then that doesn't feel like a very sustainable way of buying clothes to me. If someone feels that buying fast fashion is his or her best option at the time, I think that doing research on the quality of clothing from different fast fashion brands would be important. I've heard stories about some fast fashion clothing falling apart after a few wears, but I have items of clothing from fast fashion brands that I've had for over five years, still like, and are still going strong.
I love this! Cuteness is in! Being comfy and happy in your outfit! Buying something you truly love! Buying what you really want and not the dupe! Be conscious of the environment and consuming can live in harmony. You are so sweet and insightful, Ash! ✨“It is better to fail in originality than succeed in imitation” -Herman Melville ✨
You know not the joy and breath of fresh air I get from hearing your perspectives! In fact youve inspired me to make my very own 2024 Ins and outs video (if you dont mind me using that phrasing ofc) ❤ Thank you for being here!
Yayyyy! Another video! ❤ I also love your take on the battle against overconsumption, I totally agree. No one needs to become depressed over the whole thing, just try your best and shop within your means.
Ah I’m so glad you agree bc I was quite nervous about it !! I was worried that it came across as me thinking overconsumption isn’t a problem , which isn’t what I think ! It is a huge problem ! But I also think that the every day average Joe like me n you are not doing anything wrong by just ‘consuming’ - it’s when it goes too far that it’s problematic and I think it is sad that we are being told we can’t buy ANYTHING anymore bc it just makes us feel guilty
Your first “in” is sooo on point! When I post outfits and people tell me what they don’t like… I am just very confused! Like is it super important for me to know someone doesn’t like what I love and chose?!? Isn’t diversity fundamental to humanity? Ok so let me just like it! 🖤🖤🖤
Ash, don't worry about what other people think. They think they're morally superior but they're hypocrites. I can tell you're a genuinely good person and that's why I like you. I always enjoy hearing your rants, I like how you're not afraid to express your opinion.
I think the only reason I would "dress out of my comfort zone" is if I'm purposefully hiding something I don't like about myself, at the expense of comfort or what I actually want to wear. I'm quite insecure about my arms, and whenever I wear a long sleeve even when it's hot I'm just reminded of that insecurity. So I might be "comfortable" but it's really just making myself small. Last summer I thrifted a cute tank top that was really "me", and while the first few times I wore it I felt a bit weird, after a while I became desensetized to my arms being out. So by dressing out of my comfort zone, I actually expanded it
Ah yes I do get it, tbh I actually agree I just never thought of that :( I’m insecure about my legs n love wearing skirts but just feel I can’t have them out even if I like the piece of clothing bc it’s not the clothing that’s the problem yk????? Ugh felt this so bad :((xxxxxxxx
Love that clothing was able to help you out of that insecurity though !! I love that clothing can be used as a mask for your body bc it def helps with getting out if you’re feeling insecure :’) and I absolutely love that it can widen clothing options too! I guess bc you’re picking clothing for a different reason :) Ty so much for your comment it really made me think :)))
I just discovered your channel and I can't get enough of it! You seem like an ideal person to be friends with, articulate, soft-spoken and authentic. KEEP GOING, BEST OF LUCK < 3
Whoever is making you feel bad is clearly just projecting, and doesn’t understand nuance when combatting overconsumption. You’re doing great! Your opinion is wonderful to hear and I hope you continue making fashion content
Hey Girlie! I've been watching all your videos for a few weeks now and you're one of the most kind-hearted person on this whole platform! You are not the problem!!!! Thank you so much for this amazing video, really loved it and agreed with every single point (except the sambas hahah). Continue being yourself we love you
Ah yes I’d love to !! Might be a small while bc my phone only catches me in bright sunlight and it’s middle of grey cold british winter here hahaha but I’d really really love to !! Thank you for the suggestion :)))
OVERCONSUPTION would never be a problem of those who can barely buy clothes (me), I can not overconsume because I don't have the resources to do so and when I buy second (now is even less then previous years) its purely for what I need even tough I would like to own designers pieces because they are so COOL! so maybe in the future but for now my consumption would never be as damaging as someone who buy thousands of dollars in clothes that get thrown away as soon as possible (in this household we rewear over and over again
Ah yes :’) I’m so with you !! I can barely afford second hand prices atm but the internet has a nasty way of making you feel bad about anything :’) xxxxx. I hope you have a lovely evening xx
Absolutely loved this video, I rant every so often about these things to my best friend when I see conversations about these topics. Or see the effect its having on people or media in general. I would love to see the common man become less guilty for enjoying life and buying in means.. and even out of ones means as a treat. No sole person on your block is the problem. The real problem at the end of the day comes from something more sinister and greedy than even a 200 dollar shein hall a girl trying to gain a platform gets sponsored for. Not to be that guy.. It is still wasteful and puts even idea pollution out there to some. Cannot deny I also just enjoy watching hauls and seasonal collection haul reviews and try ons. But I am conscious enough to know that I won’t feel the urge to buy 10 items because of said video. Anywho, as I was saying, sadly not even a wealthy youtuber doing numerous haul videos monthly is really the issue at the end of the day in the grand scheme of the truth. Their contribution would cease to exist if the massive industries that are chain linked just decided to… Stop. Big shock, I know right? Lol. One of my mates works as an engineer like a prisoner for one of the most insanely massive production and distributing companies in the world, they are the number one in the entire world for carbon emissions, they make every little gosh darn thing you can think of in terms of ingredients for every product you ever have used or consumed in your lifetime or will… And from what I have now seen their factories are disgusting, some better than most. And there is 2 factories in my province alone. Locations all across canada, all over europe. The states.. asia, africa.. south west east damn well in your back yard. Do not feel guilty for going shopping at the mall once in a while and leaving with a freshly made trouser. The average man outside of that 1% has never been the true greed running us into the ground.
Ugh this is everything thank you so much for sharing such great insight. Honestly reading your message has actually made me feel so much better about myself
I actually look forward to trends!! is it something i was looking for? If yes i will purchase if no ill pass Cause in my country we dont really have every style of clothing so we have to wait for something to go in style
I actually think it’s fun to be trendy but who says I can’t wear something that was trendy in the 70s and the next day something trendy this year and the next day something trendy that only iiiiiii believe to be trendy/ I do not care what anyone on the internet says is trendy and I definitely don’t wanna buy things cuz everyone else has it… if you realize it it’s only young people that do that
Hi Ash! It might seem like a weird thing, but I wanted to ask if you are truly feeling okay and taking care of yourself ♥️? You are one of my favorite people to watch on here and you seem so incredibly sweet and so lovely so I wanted to check up on you ☺️ I hope you have a wonderful 2024 filled with love! 💕💕
Ah pls I love you thank you so much for such a sweet message :’) I’m trying to be ok but it’s quite hard ahahah but the small number of people I love are the best and I couldn’t ever ask for more 💕💕💕💕💕 I really hope you are well too , Christmas is hard :’)
I think that this is a bad take. While overconsumption is an issue, fast fashion is also a big part of the problem. Fast fashion clothes are designed to not last very long and are inevitably discarded not long after purchase. I don’t think it is on the consumer to fix production issues within large companies necessarily but everyone can do their part to not purchase from certain companies known to be destructive to the environment.
I absolutely agree with you and maybe I didn’t quite make myself clear enough. I am not saying that fast fashion isn’t bad, because it is. However this was not the point I was making, I was trying to get across that we should stop blaming fast fashion for our overconsumption problem. I think that fast fashion holds its own problems that can be considered separate to the problems overconsumption holds (although many overlap) thank you so much for you comment I love to hear peoples opinions and I hope maybe I made myself a little clearer. You are so right, fast fashion is bad - however it may be the only option for some people where thrift stores are hiking prices higher than the high street and sustainable brands are too expensive, and I think the current conversation about overconsumption seems to put a lot of the blame on fast fashion which I believe misses the point entirely. Idk if I made that understandable ahahhah I have a couple lines of text I can see on my phone but really I do appreciate your message and I do agree with you so thank you for being here xxxxxx
Of course they both can ! Gatekeeping the exact brand name model etc, following the overall trend :) e.g I’m following the y2k trend, but I’m not telling you where exactly I found my y2k baby tee or what brand my purse is , yk? :D
