I used to wear what everyone else wore and when there was a new apparent trend, I'd try to jump on the bandwagon. That all changed my senior year of high school. I don't think there was a real defining moment other than the fact that I'd just ended my first relationship ever and I wanted to better my life in some way. I found that fashion was basically my way of being true to myself. I could completely and freely express myself through styling, and I found that it generally made me a happier and more confident despite any troubles I was experiencing. By the end of the school year, I was voted most fashionable. I couldn't be more proud of my choice to outwardly express myself. Now that I'm in college, dressing eccentrically and eclectically is a tad intimidating just because I'm self-conscious of being a dot on a blank sheet of paper. However, your message and experience has encouraged me to stay me, and I thank you for that. Love ya, Jenn!

And honestly, idk why ppl are complaining about "Who could afford clothes like this in college?" Bc truth be said, it's a bit of an exaggeration. I go to a University, and as a broke college student myself, I can still afford decent clothing pieces and put them together like Jenn's video. Plus, her outfit ideas in this one are just all Basic pieces that can be easily found at F21 and H&M for $20 and under, truthfully. I mean, rompers are $12, croptops are $5-$7, jogger pants are $12-$15, cardigans are $10-$12, loose tops are $7-$10..... I don't see why there is much of an issue LOL I guess its just me xD lol But overall, the content behind these fashion videos is to get some "ideas", not to get everything and exactly what is shown lol She is just using what she owns/have to give us a visual image 😃

Love love love what you said at the last part of the video. I dress up for myself, not for others.

Thank you thank you thank you for the little chat at the end! I agree with every single word - I love the idea of physically wearing what you're feeling. I _hate_ self-righteous people who thinks you're vapid and shallow for putting an effort into your appearance. They don't understand that fashion can be a huge part of your life - not in a shallow way, but in an aesthetic and even highly emotional way. Love your videos, Jenn xxxx

If a person asks you why your so dressed up? ask them why they are so dressed down? Then explain that there is no competition. They do not need to look like you and you do not need to look like them. It is human nature to question people who are different the norm. Often people put down others who are different. It is so sad. What ever happened to appreciating people for who they are? Oh and the backward comments are so sad. Like "oh girl I do not dress up, I'm saving money while your spending" etc etc or the classic comment of "go girl I don't got time for that dressing up stuff" LOL. Well then if you aint got time then STFU about it OMG!

~(˘▾˘)~ Watch me zip through nine closet essentials for college.

I can really relate to everything you said in the end of this video. And I'm so glad I can say that because I've come a long way! I used to use clothes as a 'shield', baggy, hooded ones to hide in; something that helped me feel like I wasn't so exposed. Nothing wrong with big baggy clothes, I love them still, but back then I wore them for the wrong reasons. Insecurity and "we're just suddenly going to ignore you"- kind of bullying never did any good. At some point(took me years though) I just realised that I am the only person that can make me the way I wanted to be, there's no use to wait on other people's approval if you don't like yourself first. Because I wasn't happy with how the things were or myself, and I wanted it all to change. So I started learning what I actually liked - not what would make me tolerable to others.., what made me feel powerful. Fashion and clothes became my new, silent and postivie kind of shield. Even if I was feeling a bit insecure, I knew my outfit would 'hold me up' because it was so badass and wait so am I, what am I feeling insecure about? So yeah! Powerful thing this fashion thingy. :) And I love that you are making these videos to spread the word, I remember watching them when I was just getting into style and fashion. So thank you :3 Keep up the awesome job, these have helped me be more confident, probably more than you could even think .x

I went thrift shopping and I found this collared blouse with the most obnoxious, loud print and when I found it, I knew I found a beauty and I snagged it immediately. It took me awhile to actually have the confidence to wear it to school and when I did, my friends commented on how obnoxious the print was and how they couldn't concentrate in class because my shirt was just so eye catching (in a negative way). But I just looked at them and laughed and I kept wearing that shirt just to see the look of annoyance on their faces to keep the pleasure in mine. Fashion is definitely not something I take seriously and wearing that shirt reminds me of that and gives me a good laugh whenever I need it.

I honestly don't know what caused me to become so carefree about what I wore. But one day, my thought pattern changed to how Jenn thinks! I just accepted that I was a skinny little rake, and that I was probably never going to change or put on any more weight (no matter how much I got taunted by people and their ignorant 'eat a cheeseburger' comments.) So instead I rocked it. I stopped trying so hard to do everything that other girls were doing, and did what I felt was right and comfortable. I wore skinny jeans and crop tops and embraced my small figure instead of trying to drown it out with mens clothing. I stopped the heavy make up and embraced weird pieces of clothing. And guess what? No one said a damn thing. If you're surrounded by people who are constantly judging you; you're around the wrong people. They will only ever make you feel awkward and unwelcome. I learnt to love myself first, and then the right people just came along. People who had the same thinking as me! As Jenn says; just be you! :D

For me the decision to dress up more and to change my style was a steady progression. I was always chubby as a kid and through a majority of high school, but started losing weight gradually by college (transition from suburbs to the city where you walk everywhere, change in diet and eating habits mainly by cooking for myself and using replacement alternative ingredients ), and for a while I still wore the oversized tshirts. But then over time it started mostly by learning how to dress for my shape, even with the weight loss all my weight is centered in my hips, big latin hips aren't going away. So when I accepted this is how my body is, and learning to dress for it with clothes that actually fit my curves properly, accentuating it with nice tops, then it transitioned to trying different makeup techniques, and taking better care of my hair, and I think it was my first pair of boot cut skinny jeans that made me think...my butt looks good. It isn't going anywhere and I have a better relationship with it, it's a part of me and my cultural background, and with clothing and style I have more fun with overall.

On a new wardrobe: I took the opportunity of a new job to revamp my style and wear things that previously I would never have dared. At uni, I wore clothes that I hated because I was nervous about wearing skirts and heels and anything that wasn't jeans and a tee. Now I will only wear things that make me feel great and I'm all the better for it! Cheers Jenn!

I chose to change my oufit when I started to watch you video's! You inspired me to wear whatever I want and to not really care about what other people think. I'm in high school and like what you said, I feel much more comfortable in my own skin if I can express myself in a different clothing style instead of wearing what everyone is wearing. Everybody wants to follow other people and are afraid if they don't do that and stand out! But I want to be myself, different than others and I'm happy that I can show my love for fashion even when I don't have all the money of the world. Nothing is going to stop me for being me. Thank you Jenn! I think you're an amazing person :)

I think subconsciously k-pop inspired me to dress exactly how I like. When I saw their amazing MVs and that theme continuing into their WILD fashion it made me think 'hey that looks really fun, I want to do it'. When I was around 16 and I remember I was really into spiked jewellery, leather jackets and red lipstick. But then 2 years later I started dressing extremely princess like. And now I'm almost 20, I feel so empowered and free knowing that I can switch between styles and surprise people 'just because' I can. I remember once I was wearing this suuuper cool sort of androgynous outfit and someone asked me in high school if I was going to a fancy dress party...I wasn't offended, I just laughed. Now one of the reasons my social following like me is because I'm not scared to dress outrageously haha!

I grew up in a poor family with little income and just wearing hand-me-downs from cousins or cheap shirts from goodwill and I was always ashamed... My whole life I felt so sad that I couldn't stand out like everyone else and I was picked on for what I wore. My senior year of high school and starting college I got my first job and spoiled myself and got pieces I've always dreamt of wearing. And I love wearing great pieces and standing out and I feel damn good! People ask me why I'm dressed so nice and I say I'm making up for lost time :)

Girl, thank you SO much for your life lesson at the end. I am a senior in college now, and literally for four years I have been asked, “Why do you wear dresses all the time?” “Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to just wear leggings and a tshirt?” I have no idea why people are so concerned about my comfort level, if I want to wear something I will. Like you said, I love dressing up, I love trying new pieces, I love wearing think black winged liner to class. Thank you for the positive vibes and the amazing ideas!

I wear what I want because, "Life is too short to wear boring clothes."

Completely agree! People always asked me "why I was so dressed up for school" (when I wasn't really dressed up I just wasn't wearing sweatpants) and for a while I dressed down because I started feeling self conscious about my outfit choices. I was comfortable putting effort into what I wore and that's whats important! :)

for me personally the moment when I decided to dress how I wanted to without caring what people thought was when I found my style. I think in order to dress the way you want you have to figure out what it is the you like and don't like. Once I did that I just put the mentality in my head to not care what other people thought because chances are they're just jealous that they didn't think of pulling an awesome outfit like I did haha! A big plus to dressing how you want no matter what people think is that you feel confident and are most likely the best dressed in your class because no one is open minded to dressing fashionably. :)

My most defining fashion moment was in high school. I was bullied a lot for not fitting in- so one day I just came to school wearing two different shoes! Some people thought it was said but I really just did it to show myself that only MY opinion mattered. Thanks for sharing that Jenn!!!!!!

Jenn I NEEDED to hear that last part! You're such an inspiration for me personally to wear what I want to wear. Keep doing you girl- we all love it♡

For me, it's the same. I dress according to how I feel. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I look forward to is "what am I going to wear today?!" and I get so excited because I get to choose and I get to be me everyday. I don't care what people say or how they think of me and my clothing because in my opinion, I think I dress pretty down to earth and comfy. Thumbs up for loose tees and skinnies! LOVE YOU JENN!!!

What really annoys me is when guys think you're dressing up because you want to impress them/look good for them. No! same for the ladies. I'm dressing how I want to dress because it makes me feel good! not because I want that guy to think I'm cute or I want his attention. I just want to experiment with my look and enjoy fashion.

Great words at the end Jenn. I agree, I always kinda 'dress up' as some would say for university, but in reality it's just me putting some effort into how I look and feeling confident in an outfit that I know is styled well/looks good on me. I hate seeing comments on your videos like "wtf I just wear sweatpants and a sweater to college haha" like cool good for you? Not everyone has to dress that way just because you can't be bothered. Expression through what you wear is great and shouldn't have to be suppressed according to setting, unless it's required such as office attire etc.

Thrift store finds. I'm not just talking about those old 90's vintage t-shirts, or the mom jeans made into hand crafted high waisted shirts, but the statement pieces. Like I found this midi sunflower dress that was form fitting with a corset string back and I just loved the way it showed my curves without the neckline or the sleeves being too revealing. My friends didn't have the same thoughts about it when I bought it, but I did anyways and it is one off my favourite style pieces.

You should do another what would Jen wear soon

no lie, living in Cali gives you fashionable freedom. like here nobody cares what you wear and everybody is more accepting of style. so I knew as long as im comfortable and feel good, then do it!

The moment I stopped "saving" outfits for special events was when I fully embraced my style. I love maxi skirts and dresses and just "fancy" looking things. Like Jenn said, at one point I was just like FUCK IT. Yes I'm wearing a silk pale pink maxi skirt with my leather jacket!

Hey Jenn! Can you make a video about travel fashion essentials? Like most comfortable walking shoes and versatile outfits for all occasions like going to the beach, roadtrip or some formal wear (:

Totally agree about the college dressing up thing! My friends would always be like "why are you dressed so nice all the time??" but really I was just wearing like a skirt. Because it made ME happy! People stress about wearing sweats so much in college but thats just not my thing. Post grad, I wore like sweats everyday for like a week while job hunting and my mood totally dropped! Now, if you love wearing sweat pants, then do it! If you wanna wear heels, do it! I say the same thing as Jenn: wear whatever you want and screw what everyone else thinks

Love how you added the bit at the end

One random morning in the winter a couple years ago I woke up and took a look at myself in the mirror and thought, "Wow, I look so dull." I have always identified with being a creative person, but never thought to take my creativity to the next level with my clothes. To be honest, for a long time I didn't think you could get creative with clothes. I grew up in a very suburban town where everyone dressed with the same disregard for personality through fashion. I found myself being overwhelmingly unenthused by everything in my closet so I went out and chopped a lot of my hair off and bought some funky sweaters and shoes and rocked out. Watching youtubers like Jenn really inspired me to break out of my conformist shell and start really experimenting with style. It's absolutely true what she said about dressing the way you want to and then radiating confidence. Style is a huge form of self-expression for me. These days I can't fathom how people don't put any thought into what they throw on in the morning. Clothes can be empowering. Why wouldn't everyone take advantage of something so simple but so very satisfying? Jah feel?

a couple of years ago i decided that i would stop wearing pants, and it was the best decision of my life. i'd never really liked how they looked on me or found them comfortable, but i used to wear them because i didn't want to look overdressed for casual days out. but being overdressed doesn't even bother me anymore, because i feel cute. i'm happy to stand out because i feel comfortable in what i'm wearing. giving up pants was a big sacrifice for me but it allowed me to find my personal style, and the types of clothes that suit my body the best. great message jenn

I went to college in the late 90s and all i wore were those flared jeans, baby tees, platform sneakers, and hoodies, lol. It was a dark time. In grad school, I definitely had better style. I think my defining fashion moment occurred when I moved out of my parents' house and away from my mother's harsh criticism all the time. I could walk out of the house and not hear her getting on my case all the time about "why are you always so dressed up? Who are you trying to impress?" The latter question is my pet peeve b/c everyone assumes you're trying to impress people when fashion isn't for them, it's for YOURSELF. For me, what I'm wearing on the outside reflects my mood on the inside, and if I look put-together and fabulous, then I feel better as a result. Also fashion is a fun hobby for me, like drawing or knitting or whatever else people do for fun. It just so happens that my hobby is something I wear every day. It can get expensive, but if you're savvy about sales and discounts and shop at cheaper stores like F21, you can save a lot of money and still look good.

The moment I said I can wear what I want to wear was when I wore my paloza pants and a rude girl called my pants curtains pants so I said they make me happy so leave me alone

The last part of your video is pretty much the main reason why I've always been a fan. Ever since I started watching your videos in my sophomore year of high school, I've been hooked with your sense of style and personality! I've been in college for a couple years now and can proudly say that because of your influence, my personal style and confidence has changed immensely and for the better!

What you said towards the end of the video was so touching! I haven't always had my own sense of confidence, much less style confidence. But fashion is so important to me that I decided once and for that I don't care what people what people think of my outfits, my clothes, or my sense of style! I can't wait to see your style confidence video because it's something that I can see you're passionate about, just like me. Keep up the great videos! It's an absolute treat logging into my account and seeing you've uploaded something new.

It stared when i cut my hair really short. I live in a country where women with long beautiful hair is considered beautiful and short haired women are considered not feminine and their sexual preference gets question. But one day i just said 'fuck it' and cutmy hair really really short and evrsince then i felt i can do anything else too! I felt empowere with my hair cut i stared wearing the sthlye that ive always wanted i wore wore dressed shorts skirts sleeveless tops as opposed to the t shirt Nd jeans that i always had on.

To me, my clothing is a reflection of myself and definitely a creative outlet. Simply put, when I dress good, I feel good.. so obviously I'm going to dress nice almost every day! I take pride in the outfits I put together and I like to "show them off". I also am a university student and sometimes you don't have a lot of money to spend but when something is important to you (as fashion is to me) you budget for it! Spending money on clothes may seem senseless to some people but for me it's so much more than just the clothes I buy. It's not about trying to impress other people and more about self-confidence and personal enjoyment. I'm willing to spend money on clothes because it is something important to me and it makes me feel good.. so I don't see it as a waste of money at al :)

I loved your little message at the end. You've been a huge fashion inspiration to me and have finally given me the confidence to just wear what I want and it's made me feel so much better about myself, plus I've gotten more compliments about the way I dress recently

I think my favourite part of this video is the pep talk at the end. Definitely helps to remind us to just go for it and be ourselves. Cause it is SO worth it

When I was in high school, I was insecure about wearing what I actually wanted to for the years when I was an underclassman. When I was a Junior I got a little more bold, but it wasn't until I was a Senior that I decided to say fuck it, I'm going to wear whatever the hell I want. And I found that when I did wear bold or quirky outfits, I got WAY more compliments than when I dressed like everyone else. I'm in my first year of college now, and sometimes I still get a bit shy about wearing certain outfits. Like you, Jen, I dress how I feel in the morning. But I've gotten so much better about it, and I'm trying to be the kind of person who wears what expresses me as a person. Thanks for the great advice Jen!

Exactly. I love what you said at the end of this video. You really encouraged me to do my own thing now.

Yes Jenn!!! I honestly think even in the darkest of college days (AKA finals), a great outfit can keep you motivated or put a smile on someone's face at how chic or put together you look.

I loved your message at the end, something I really needed to hear. Love all the essentials you mentioned too :)

I was once in London in a café browsing through a magazine when I saw a drawing of a lady having a drink. The picture is normal, and you can barely see what she's wearing, but I just thought she had so much class. That moment, I realised I didn't want to wear clothes I didn't like anymore, that I liked feeling classy and fancy every day, and ever since that day I never go out without liking my outfit 100% (some days I will start disliking my outfit during the day, but what I mean is that I don't go out wearing something I don't feel glamorous in anymore). Even if it's to run errands for a few minutes, to work or to hang out with friends, my rule is to love what I'm wearing and to feel it is unique.

you're so inspirational jenn! I absolutely love your style and totally took some inspiration from this despite not being in college yet. stay beautiful! x ♡

Preach it, Jenn!! When I was in junior high some kids in my class didn't like me and made it known to everyone including me. It was a rough time but that ultimately served as the defining point in my style journey. I started studding and diying accessories to go with my school uniform. It made me feel strong and powerful, like you said. It helped me face each day with a smile.Thank you so much for inspiring me!!

I love this video! And every other video you've ever made :) I think what you said at the end is so true and such an important thing for people to understand because being your own person and having your own style is incredibly and something that should be embraced! I went through a stage when I was about 13 and would just wear the same thing as my friends and then over the next year I totally changed my style and realised I could wear whatever I wanted and it made me fell so much better about myself!!

This is a late comment, but I feel like I'd like to share. My freshman year of high school was when I first tried to dress daring. I was always wearing baggy clothes, ill-fitting jeans, and hoodies to try and cover up my body. Being chubby all my life, I realized that these frumpy clothes were only making me look even bigger and sloppier. So I remember going shopping with my mom, buying two crop tops, and two pairs of shorts that weren't Bermuda length. I also remember having a few pencil skirts that I would wear the hell out of during my sophomore year. I continued wearing dresses with tennis shoes, high-waisted shorts, crop tops, skirts, and even a fancy pea coat on any random day throughout highschool and the beginning of college. I felt really confident dressing myself this way and ignoring the stereotypical rule of having to avoid these things because I was bigger. For me, it was just liberating to realize "these clothes come in my size, this means I can wear them". I've mastered buying clothes that flatter my body and also the art of bringing many many options into the dressing room because the majority of pants and bottoms that I grab don't fit. At the moment, I'm focusing on going back to basics so that I can really work on my fashion sense seeing as I want to major in apparel design and would really like to define my style more. TLDR: I realized that being chubby only meant that I had to get the clothes in a bigger size. I learned to dress my body type well and to not let other people dictate what my body can or can't wear.

people don't care about what you wear as much as you think they do. all the hate is usually psychological. my turning point was in 10th grade when I thought "fuck it" and just gradually started changing my style. I felt WAYYY more confident and was a lot happier. now I just wear whatever I want. sometimes I wear high waisted boyfriend jeans with a crop top, sometimes I wear a dress, sometimes I just want to wear jeans and a t shirt. a saying that has helped me do whatever I want is: your body is yours. it's not to please anyone else but you. if wearing that green sequined shirt makes you happy, then do it. if other people care, why does it matter? your body is yours. you weren't made to please everyone around you. you were made to please yourself. don't worry what anyone thinks about your fashion choices or beauty choices because, like I have said repeatedly, YOUR BODY IS YOURS. :)

I 100000% agree with you about style! I live in Montana and a lot of people here don't really know what "fashion forward" is. The way I dress brings up not only my confidence but my mood too. It makes me feel unique and interesting. You took the words right out of my mouth in that last bit! Thank you Jenn!!!!

Yes! I love your advice at the end!!! I totally went through a stage where I had to tell myself that this is how I like to look and absolutely no one can stop me!! I was in about 9th grade of high school went I really started to feel comfortable in my own skin. I had crazy teased hair, incredibly dark eyes, and a bright, pink lip. Of course, endless comments were thrown my way, but I would look in the mirror and smile, and simply carry on. Now I am in college and I love to get dressed up for class. I always wear a full face because I love bright under eyes, rosy cheeks and chiseled jaw structure. I am so glad I watched this video while I got ready this morning. Confidence is key, and do what makes you confident! Whether it's arched brows, full lips, oversized tees, or crazy prints, do YOU!

We were gonna point out specific pieces we liked, but we're just so in loooove with your wardrobe! Just like you, if we're wearing something that makes us feel great, we feel so much better about ourselves - even on our down days! As long as we feel confident in what we're wearing, then others will see our confidence as well!

Honestly, youtube helpes me to dress the way I wanted to! My style is a little quirky and now I wear that confidently and am happy! + working out helps loads too! Love the video Jenn!

Thank you so much for this video! You are always such an encouragement. I wear skirts and dresses to college every day and people always ask why I'm so dressed up. It's because that's just who I am and what I feel comfortable wearing. Thanks for all your tips and advice. You're the best!

PREACH

LOVED this video! Do you mind me asking how you do the little box around your words, I would love to use this on my videos! Looking gorgeous as always xx

MORE VIDEOS OF INSPIRATION! Great job on the last bit of the clip especially!

love your neutral-heavy wardrobe. that's what I've been gravitating toward for the past year or so. everything looks better & more classic, and it's so much easier to get dressed fast and still look chic and put-together.

The summer before freshman year of college, I realized that I was going to a place where no one knew me, no one would question why I wasn't dressed normally, and so on. It was the perfect opportunity to change my style and embrace the clothes I always loved but was afraid to indulge in. Like others have said, I mostly saved up money and when I had a chance, I went thrifting since that was the only way to obtain things that i wanted. It's really empowering to be able to dress how you want. It makes me confident in class to speak and sass and evidently make good friends. I really love these videos! :) Since I started watching them, I've become even more adamant about exploring the stranger side of my style and I'm more excited to travel places with different outfits!

I think the part after 3:48 is the most important part of the video :) For me, it kind of goes up and down if I'm confident enough to wear things that look a little bit different. It mostly depends on the company I'm with. But I love trying out new things and I think the most important thing is having fun and keeping experimenting. I think it's great when people dare to stand out a little bit. You're such an inspiration, Jenn! ♥︎

Fantastic message at the end, you couldn't have addressed it better! So much love ♡

This is one of the reasons why I being inspired with jenn's videos and fashion styles is because of her unique and cool outfits and her inspirational words that helps me to be confident

i think inspiration is pretty key in being confident in what your wearing. at the end of the day it does come from you but books, blogs, celebrities and everyday street style can really boost your confidence in what your wearing and keep the ideas flowing!

For all of the people insulting Jen's video I have news for you...I go to a University in Canada where I'd say a good majority of girls dress up like Jen does...We go in the subway dressed like that and walk home dressed like that even in the cold winters we can have our own cool sense of style.Most people my age go to school and have part time jobs that help pay school and guess what ....CLOTHES ...You just have to be smart about you're money and what you're buying and not spend it all on useless things!!! THE SECRET IS SMART BYING ON KEY ITEMS LIKE JEN IS TRYING TO EXPLAIN :)

Other than the times I had to wear a uniform to school, I always wore what made me feel good at the time. After graduating from high school, I could literally wear whatever I wanted when I wanted to wear it. A lot of people sport one style of clothing all the time, whereas I do not. Some days I wanna wear all black, a messy 'do and a lot of eyeliner, but other days I wanna wear pastels, sleek hair, and a nude lipstick. I feel like clothes and fashion should be an extension of yourself, rather than a label or a hindrance weighing you down. Once you find yourself in your personal style, it's just so empowering :) Thanks for another awesome video Jen!

i felt like i was on the late boat of expressing myself fashion wise because i spent a large portion of my teen hood being really insecure and it didn't just affect me, it would show outside of myself too. after college when i broke up with my 1st boyfriend and got my 1st job, it just kind of clicked in my head that the possibility of you wanting to look/be how you imagined yourself to be is actually 90% achievable. i've gone from frumpy bad posture ill fitting clothes to dressing the way i want. and i'm glad you're pushing this message forward too jenn cause honestly, everyone can be stylish and put together and look the way they see themselves in their head!

I honestly think my interest in fashion started a couple years ago when i found your youtube channel. I found your health/fitness routine through some suggested links while watching blogilates and I never looked back. I think I went through all your videos in only a couple days, staying up to just gawk at the amazing pieces you had to show us. Since then I was obsessed with fashion and was inspired so much to create my own style, and through you I discovered some new youtubers aswell that are also really inspiring to watch. However it still all comes back to you, Jenn Im. You've helped me find myself through fashion and build my confidence! I'm watching this video before school with some bright pastel orange pants on and I can honestly say i felt much happier with my fashion now than i ever was, while watching that end comment. Thanks for everything, Jenn

I would say that my style confidence tip is that when you wear something that may seem a bit more risque and different, don't mind the others and remind yourself constantly that you look like THE SHIT! Everyone is only looking at you because they are admiring you for having the balls to wear whatever you are wearing in the first place! You are the minority, not the majority. Most of the majority are wearing plain blaaah outfits anyways. Life is way too short to wear the same outfit twice.

This video was so amazing&great. I'm in college right now&I dress up everyday for myself because it helps me feel good. The end of this video is so true&I feel the same way. I decided to change the way I dressed in 7th grade and wear whatever I wanted. Back then I used to think the pretty clothes were only for the "populars". But that's far from the truth. From 7th grade and until now I have always wore what I want to and I have gotten/still do get negative comments. I get things like "why tf is she wearing that?" " who let her come out of the house that way?" "She thinks she's doing something doesn't she? She's still ugly af!!" I also received a lot of other negative comments. But I really don't let what they say get to me anymore because I dress up for myself and it's a way of life and self-expression. I wear how I feel. It's where I get my confidence from. Fashion&music=me.

Jenn, your videos are amazing:) I love how you are so confident and outgoing. I recently just started subscribing to different channels and your videos popped out out of all the other ones. I enjoy watching them very much.

When I first started to get into fashion, I would always buy and wear the kinds of clothes that I thought everyone else would wear. I have always loved really unique pieces, but I was always scared someone was going to make fun of me. But during my sophomore year of high school I wore this oversized, printed button up because I loved it so much, and I felt great! The videos on clothesencounters really helped push me to be comfortable in my own skin ever since I started watching them during middle school. I'm a senior now and I've gotten compliments on my style and I really do I have to thank this channel for it!

Your hair looks amazing!!!!

Love what you said at the end

The end of this video is everything. Love her points on styling confidence

Thank you so much for the short yet powerful message! I'm still on the verge of truly finding my own personal style. Aside from your style, your positive and spunky attitude is also inspiring! Keep rockin' it, girl! ;)

Fashion is expression, not consumption!

Ahhh, I look up to you! Thanks for being amazing, Jenn. :)

My changing moment wasn't so much through my wardrobe but through my hair! I was always stuck in this mindset where in order to be pretty I had to have long hair. Well I always wanted a pixie cut but when I asked what people thought they all would look at me like I was insane. It wasn't until this summer that I chopped my hair off and to be honest I felt so free and I felt confident and happy with myself. I stopped caring what people thought and for once thought for myself! Keep doing what you're doing babe! You are amazing and it's people like you that make me feel proud to be myself! Hugs and kisses all the way from New Mexico!

I love how positive and encouraging you are Jenn! I don't personally have the same style you do, but I adore all of your videos because of your good vibes. Keep it up and have a great day!

I so love your hair! wish i could curl my hair like that.

I love the message but do you really think college kids can afford the clothes you're promoting? I couldn't afford most of these things in high school. I adore your style and videos but I just wish you created outfits that more people could wear. I don't know anyone in college wearing Jeffery Campbells or other designer clothing items. It doesn't make sense to me.

I love love love the little chat at the end! Thank you so much for that!!! 💗💗💗 Esp loved the way you said "I did!". Just listening to that was motivating. So Thank You 💗 More love and power to You🌹

Your closing words were amazing jenn! Thanks for your perpetual insight and advice.

i totally agree. i dont get how its not okay to make fun of someone for looking scrubby, but it IS okay to make fun of someone for looking extra nice, or dressing up for no reason.

No better way to put this then to just say that I love you haha

Like times a thousand!!!!! Jen you are so amazing and inspiring! I first felt comfortable with wearing what I wanted when I started watching styling videos like yours. It was around my junior/senior year of high school. I am now in college and since there are no dress codes it is a lot easier to rock my style!!!! I am LOVING it so far! Thanks for inspiring me to be who I want to be and wear what I love wearing!

love this video, and not just for the fashion styling. i love your epilogue ! fashion means a lot to me and learning to finally dress for myself is helping me become more confident and overcome my insecurities .

i know its not the same but if i could wear cosplay everyday to university i would be so unbelievably happy, i really know its not the same at all! but it really would make everyday, but id get weird looks XD even tho cosplay is dressing up as someone else or as a character, i would have alot of fun.

I was never comfortable showing my legs and I have very long legs (quite good legs, I'm tall) I also wasn't comfortable being super girly. I'd NEVER wear a skirt or dress outside of church or fancy events. But I slowly compromised to widen my options and stretch my comfort zone a little at a time. I'd wear tights under shorter shorts, then eventually lost the tights. They also shifted my style to allow me to be girly while maintaining my style with cool prints and fun colors. I started wearing skirts and dresses bc I felt like tights made them more casual and more my style. I don't wear tights much anymore but If you are insecure about something or don't have the confidence to pull something off, make small changes. And gradually ease yourself into whatever style you're not yet comfortable with. Just feel confident and comfortable with yourself. You'll feel so much better and people won't care about whatever youre wearing if you can do it with confidence. you won't even care cause you feel great and look good!

Thank you for the chat at the end! I always liked to dress up or put some thoughts into my outfit cuz it obviously made me feel more confident and like myself. I am always about self expression and I really like it when I see people do that as well.

i swear Jenn its like you read my mind!!!!!! This semester in college i stopped giving a fuck about what people would say if i wore nice things to college, i wear things that make me feel confident and happy and help me describe my mind set that day. sometimes when im rocking an outfit people will give me a look in the halls a "like why are you putting in effort" and honestly you just got to learn to shrug them off and think i look and feel amazing in this outfit and i'm not gonna let somebody's dirty look ruin that for me. thanks jenn your one of the people who helped me get out of that mind set of what will people think of me. now i get to wear whatever i want!

This might sound awkward but... I like your voice :D It's very unique lol >.< I mean it's recognizable

When I think I look good, I feel good. I feel happier, and more energetic. But then some days I don't give a f*ck and I look like a mess! or just a normal girl in sweats... Yet I still feel so content. Every day I feel different... and at a young age I learned not to second guess myself when I'm getting dressed in the morning :)

I really loved the talk during the end of the video (and also the video in general). I believe clothes/beauty is a way for me to express myself. It wasn't until high school I actually dyed my hair red and actually felt very comfortable in the way I dressed. Even though I didn't always have very stylish outfits I felt more confident in myself (my style is very simple). The red hair with a lot of black, greys, whites and more natural/dark colors really made me feel confident and strong. During that "transition time", I started to follow a lot of people on youtube/instagram, one of them is you, Jen! Which gave me tons of inspiration, empowerment but most important - confidence! So thank you! It's important to feel confident in oneself, and it's annoying that people see clothes/beauty in a way of being shallow instead of focusing on the importance of enpowerment and confidence that style/beauty grants! xx

Thank you for your little chat at the end! I completely agree that you should dress for yourself and not anyone else!!

I've always been one of those who don't care about impressing people. However, I've started to find my true self this past moths. That have helped me alot to find nice stuff to buy. Before that I used the first thing I saw and I looked like a hobo XD Can you make a video on how to find your style? That would be amazing!

preach it girlfriend! daaamn straight!

I started wearing what I wanted to wear when I watched LuxyHair's video over how to be more happy in life. It changed me as a person who used to wear running shorts and t shirts everyday to school and now I wear what I think is pretty cool. I'm glad you stated that in your video and feel like I'm not the only one who feels powerful in outfits they style themselves. Fashion can make a person so confident and I love it! Thanks, Jenn!

For me, I started wearing what I wanted to wear in my sophomore year of high school actually because I was inspired to by youtubers like you, WendysLookBook, ChriselleLim, and so much more. During freshman year, I was bullied and I didn't feel all that great about myself. But then sophomore year came around, I started to watch a lot more youtube videos on fashion, and I realized I wanted to express myself and how I felt, through the clothes that I wore. And I haven't looked back since. So thank you for inspiring others to wear what they want, Jenn!!
