I'm Jessi, and this is my suitcase.

3000
我是杰西， 这是我的旅行箱。
00:18
But before I show you what I've got inside,
1
3000
3000
但是当我给你看我在里面装什么之前，
00:21
I'm going to make a very public confession,
2
6000
3000
我要做一个非常公开的坦白，
00:24
and that is,
3
9000
2000
那就是，
00:26
I'm outfit-obsessed.
4
11000
2000
我对衣服极度迷恋。
00:28
I love finding, wearing,
5
13000
2000
我超爱寻找它们并穿上它们，
00:30
and more recently,
6
15000
2000
最近，
00:32
photographing and blogging
7
17000
2000
还爱上了拍它们的照片和写有关它们的博客，
00:34
a different, colorful, crazy outfit
8
19000
2000
每一套与众不同，丰富多彩，疯狂的衣服
00:36
for every single occasion.
9
21000
3000
都有其最适合的那一个场合。
00:39
But I don't buy anything new.
10
24000
2000
但我不买任何新东西。
00:41
I get all my clothes secondhand
11
26000
2000
我的衣服都是二手买到的
00:43
from flea markets and thrift stores.
12
28000
3000
从跳蚤市场和旧货店。
00:46
Aww, thank you.
13
31000
2000
噢，谢谢你。
00:49
Secondhand shopping
14
34000
2000
二手购物
00:51
allows me to reduce the impact
15
36000
2000
让我减少
00:53
my wardrobe has on the environment
16
38000
2000
购买衣服对环境的影响，
00:55
and on my wallet.
17
40000
2000
以及对我钱包的影响。
00:57
I get to meet all kinds of great people;
18
42000
2000
我能结识各种有趣的人；
00:59
my dollars usually go to a good cause;
19
44000
3000
还能省下钱捐给慈善机构；
01:02
I look pretty unique;
20
47000
2000
我的打扮也自成一派；
01:04
and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt.
21
49000
3000
同时，购物变成了我的私人寻宝。
01:07
I mean, what am I going to find today?
22
52000
2000
我会想，我今天会找到什么？
01:09
Is it going to be my size?
23
54000
2000
会不会正好是我的尺寸？
01:11
Will I like the color?
24
56000
2000
会是我喜欢的颜色吗？
01:13
Will it be under $20?
25
58000
3000
会在二十美金以下吗？
01:16
If all the answers are yes,
26
61000
2000
如果答案都是“是”，
01:18
I feel as though I've won.
27
63000
2000
我就觉得自己赢了。
01:20
I want to get back to my suitcase
28
65000
3000
我想回到我的旅行箱
01:23
and tell you what I packed
29
68000
2000
告诉你们为了在TED这激动人心的一周，
01:25
for this exciting week here at TED.
30
70000
2000
我都带了些什么。
01:27
I mean, what does somebody with all these outfits bring with her?
31
72000
4000
这个有这么多的衣服的家伙到底会带什么？
01:31
So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought.
32
76000
3000
所以我要给你看到底我带了什么。
01:34
I brought seven pairs of underpants
33
79000
3000
我带了七条內裤
01:37
and that's it.
34
82000
3000
就这些。
01:40
Exactly one week's worth of undies
35
85000
3000
正好一周的內裤
01:43
is all I put in my suitcase.
36
88000
2000
是我旅行箱内的一切。
01:45
I was betting that I'd be able to find
37
90000
3000
我打赌我在棕榈泉，
01:48
everything else I could possible want to wear
38
93000
2000
会找到
01:50
once I got here to Palm Springs.
39
95000
3000
我需要的所有衣服。
01:53
And since you don't know me
40
98000
2000
既然你现在看到的我，
01:55
as the woman walking around TED in her underwear --
41
100000
2000
不是那个“穿着内裤在TED走来走去的女人”-
01:57
(Laughter)
42
102000
2000
（笑声）
01:59
that means I found a few things.
43
104000
2000
这就说明我确实找到了一些新东西。
02:01
And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now.
44
106000
3000
而且现在我真的很想给你看我一周的衣服。
02:04
Does that sound good?
45
109000
2000
是不是听起来很不错？
02:06
(Applause)
46
111000
2000
（掌声）
02:08
So as I do this,
47
113000
2000
当然同时，
02:10
I'm also going to tell you a few of the life lessons
48
115000
3000
我还会和你们聊一聊生活指导之类的，
02:13
that, believe it or not, I have picked up
49
118000
2000
无论你们是否相信，这些都是
02:15
in these adventures wearing nothing new.
50
120000
3000
我在“旧衣新穿”冒险中提炼出来的想法。
02:18
So let's start with Sunday.
51
123000
2000
那么我们从星期日开始。
02:20
I call this "Shiny Tiger."
52
125000
2000
我叫这个“闪亮老虎”。
02:22
You do not have to spend a lot of money to look great.
53
127000
4000
你不需要用很多的钱也能显得气质非凡。
02:26
You can almost always look phenomenal for under $50.
54
131000
3000
甚至你几乎总可以只花不到50美金，就能令人印象深刻。
02:29
This whole outfit, including the jacket,
55
134000
2000
这整套衣服， 包括外套
02:31
cost me $55,
56
136000
2000
用了我五十五美金，
02:33
and it was the most expensive thing
57
138000
2000
而这是我这一整周内
02:35
that I wore the entire week.
58
140000
2000
穿的最贵的衣服。
02:37
Monday: Color is powerful.
59
142000
3000
星期一：色彩是强大的。
02:40
It is almost physiologically impossible
60
145000
3000
在生理上，几乎不可能
02:43
to be in a bad mood when you're wearing bright red pants.
61
148000
3000
穿上明亮的红色裤子时仍然心情郁闷。
02:46
(Laughter)
62
151000
2000
（笑声）
02:48
If you are happy,
63
153000
3000
如果你快乐，
02:51
you are going to attract other happy people to you.
64
156000
3000
你会吸引到其他快乐的人。
02:54
Tuesday:
65
159000
2000
星期二：
02:56
Fitting in is way overrated.
66
161000
3000
主流被远远高估了。
02:59
I've spent a whole lot of my life
67
164000
2000
我一生中花了很多时间，
03:01
trying to be myself
68
166000
2000
想做自己，
03:03
and at the same time fit in.
69
168000
2000
同时融入主流。
03:05
Just be who you are.
70
170000
2000
就做你自己。
03:07
If you are surrounding yourself with the right people,
71
172000
3000
如果你身边有对的人，
03:10
they will not only get it,
72
175000
2000
他们不仅会懂，
03:12
they will appreciate it.
73
177000
2000
他们还会欣赏。
03:14
Wednesday:
74
179000
2000
星期三：
03:16
Embrace your inner child.
75
181000
2000
接受你的童心。
03:18
Sometimes people tell me
76
183000
2000
有时候有人会告诉我，
03:20
that I look like I'm playing dress-up,
77
185000
2000
说我像玩打扮，
03:22
or that I remind them of their seven-year-old.
78
187000
4000
或者我让他们想起了他们七岁的孩子。
03:26
I like to smile
79
191000
2000
我喜欢对他们微笑，
03:28
and say, "Thank you."
80
193000
2000
并且说“谢谢。”
03:30
Thursday:
81
195000
2000
星期四：
03:32
Confidence is key.
82
197000
2000
自信心是关键。
03:34
If you think you look good in something,
83
199000
2000
如果你觉得你穿什么好看，
03:36
you almost certainly do.
84
201000
2000
那你一定会穿得好看。
03:38
And if you don't think you look good in something,
85
203000
2000
如果你不觉得你穿什么好看，
03:40
you're also probably right.
86
205000
2000
那你差不多也肯定是对的。
03:42
I grew up with a mom who taught me this day-in and day-out.
87
207000
4000
从小到大，我妈妈每天都告诉我这个，
03:46
But it wasn't until I turned 30
88
211000
2000
但是我到了三十岁，
03:48
that I really got what this meant.
89
213000
2000
才知道这是什么意思。
03:50
And I'm going to break it down for you for just a second.
90
215000
3000
而且我会为你很快的分析一下。
03:53
If you believe you're a beautiful person
91
218000
3000
如果你相信你是个美丽的人，
03:56
inside and out,
92
221000
3000
里里外外，
03:59
there is no look that you can't pull off.
93
224000
3000
没有什么衣服是你不能穿的好看的。
04:02
So there is no excuse for any of us here in this audience.
94
227000
2000
所以在座的各位都没有任何理由。
04:04
We should be able to rock anything we want to rock.
95
229000
3000
我们可以想穿什么就穿什么。
04:07
Thank you.
96
232000
2000
谢谢。
04:09
(Applause)
97
234000
3000
（掌声）
04:12
Friday: A universal truth -- five words for you:
98
237000
3000
星期五： 一个普遍的真理 -- 几个字给你：
04:15
Gold sequins go with everything.
99
240000
5000
金亮片百搭。
04:20
And finally, Saturday:
100
245000
3000
最后，星期六：
04:23
Developing your own unique personal style
101
248000
2000
发展独特的个人风格。
04:25
is a really great way to tell the world something about you
102
250000
3000
真的是个很好的方式告诉世界你是谁，
04:28
without having to say a word.
103
253000
2000
一字都不必说。
04:30
It's been proven to me time and time again
104
255000
2000
它一次又一次对我证明
04:32
as people have walked up to me this week
105
257000
2000
这周内当人们一次次走向我，
04:34
simply because of what I'm wearing,
106
259000
2000
只是因为我穿了什么。
04:36
and we've had great conversations.
107
261000
2000
我们进行很愉快的谈话。
04:38
So obviously this is not all going to fit
108
263000
2000
当然这衣服都不会挤进
04:40
back in my tiny suitcase.
109
265000
2000
我的小旅行箱。
04:42
So before I go home to Brooklyn,
110
267000
2000
所以在我回布鲁克林之前，
04:44
I'm going to donate everything back.
111
269000
2000
我会把一切都捐回。
04:46
Because the lesson I'm trying to learn myself this week
112
271000
3000
因为这个星期我在教自己
04:49
is that it's okay to let go.
113
274000
3000
放手是可以的。
04:52
I don't need to get emotionally attached to these things
114
277000
2000
我不需要对东西眷恋，
04:54
because around the corner,
115
279000
2000
因为在下一个角落，
04:56
there is always going to be
116
281000
2000
永远会有
04:58
another crazy, colorful,
117
283000
2000
又一套疯狂的，色彩鲜艳
05:00
shiny outfit
118
285000
2000
闪闪发光的衣服
05:02
just waiting for me,
119
287000
2000
在等我，
05:04
if I put a little love in my heart and look.
120
289000
2000
只要我带着爱去寻找。
05:06
Thank you very much.
121
291000
2000
非常感谢。
05:08
(Applause)
122
293000
3000
（掌声）
05:11
Thank you.
123
296000
2000
谢谢。
05:13
(Applause)
124
