I'm Jessi, and this is my suitcase.
0
15260
3000
Em dic Jessi, i aquesta és la meva maleta.
00:18
But before I show you what I've got inside,
1
18260
3000
Però abans d'ensenyar-vos què hi porto,
00:21
I'm going to make a very public confession,
2
21260
3000
faré una confessió pública,
00:24
and that is,
3
24260
2000
que és
00:26
I'm outfit-obsessed.
4
26260
2000
que estic obsessionada amb la roba.
00:28
I love finding, wearing,
5
28260
2000
M'encanta trobar, portar,
00:30
and more recently,
6
30260
2000
i, des de fa poc,
00:32
photographing and blogging
7
32260
2000
també fer-me fotos i publicar
00:34
a different, colorful, crazy outfit
8
34260
2000
un conjunt colorista i esbojarrat diferent
00:36
for every single occasion.
9
36260
3000
per a cada ocasió.
00:39
But I don't buy anything new.
10
39260
2000
Però no em compro coses noves.
00:41
I get all my clothes secondhand
11
41260
2000
Tota la meva roba és de segona mà
00:43
from flea markets and thrift stores.
12
43260
3000
de mercats de puces i botigues vintage.
00:46
Aww, thank you.
13
46260
2000
Ooh, gràcies.
00:49
Secondhand shopping
14
49260
2000
Comprar de segona mà
00:51
allows me to reduce the impact
15
51260
2000
em permet reduir l'impacte
00:53
my wardrobe has on the environment
16
53260
2000
del meu armari sobre el medi ambient
00:55
and on my wallet.
17
55260
2000
i sobre la meva cartera.
00:57
I get to meet all kinds of great people;
18
57260
2000
Conec molta gent interessant;
00:59
my dollars usually go to a good cause;
19
59260
3000
els meus dòlars van a una bona causa;
01:02
I look pretty unique;
20
62260
2000
tinc un look força personal
01:04
and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt.
21
64260
3000
i fa que comprar sigui com una cerca del tresor personal.
01:07
I mean, what am I going to find today?
22
67260
2000
Vull dir, què trobaré avui?
01:09
Is it going to be my size?
23
69260
2000
Serà de la meva talla?
01:11
Will I like the color?
24
71260
2000
M'agradarà el color?
01:13
Will it be under $20?
25
73260
3000
Valdrà menys de 20 dòlars?
01:16
If all the answers are yes,
26
76260
2000
Si totes les respostes són sí,
01:18
I feel as though I've won.
27
78260
2000
sento que he guanyat.
01:20
I want to get back to my suitcase
28
80260
3000
Vull tornar a la meva maleta
01:23
and tell you what I packed
29
83260
2000
i dir-vos el que hi he ficat
01:25
for this exciting week here at TED.
30
85260
2000
per a aquesta setmana emocionant aquí a TED.
01:27
I mean, what does somebody with all these outfits bring with her?
31
87260
4000
Què s'emporta algú que té tanta roba?
01:31
So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought.
32
91260
3000
Ara us mostraré exactament què he dut.
01:34
I brought seven pairs of underpants
33
94260
3000
He dut set parells de calcetes
01:37
and that's it.
34
97260
3000
i prou.
01:40
Exactly one week's worth of undies
35
100260
3000
Exactament una setmana de roba interior
01:43
is all I put in my suitcase.
36
103260
2000
és tot el que he dut a la maleta.
01:45
I was betting that I'd be able to find
37
105260
3000
Estava segura que podria trobar
01:48
everything else I could possible want to wear
38
108260
2000
qualsevol altra cosa que vulgués portar
01:50
once I got here to Palm Springs.
39
110260
3000
un cop arribés aquí a Palm Springs.
01:53
And since you don't know me
40
113260
2000
I com que no em coneixeu
01:55
as the woman walking around TED in her underwear --
41
115260
2000
com "la dona que va per TED amb calces" --
01:57
(Laughter)
42
117260
2000
(Rialles)
01:59
that means I found a few things.
43
119260
2000
vol dir que he trobat alguna cosa.
02:01
And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now.
44
121260
3000
I m'encantaria ensenyar-vos els meus conjunts de la setmana ara mateix.
02:04
Does that sound good?
45
124260
2000
Què us sembla?
02:06
(Applause)
46
126260
2000
(Aplaudiments)
02:08
So as I do this,
47
128260
2000
Mentre ho faig,
02:10
I'm also going to tell you a few of the life lessons
48
130260
3000
també us explicaré alguna de les lliçons vitals
02:13
that, believe it or not, I have picked up
49
133260
2000
que, encara que sembli mentida, he après
02:15
in these adventures wearing nothing new.
50
135260
3000
en aquestes aventures de no estrenar res.
02:18
So let's start with Sunday.
51
138260
2000
Comencem per diumenge.
02:20
I call this "Shiny Tiger."
52
140260
2000
Ho he anomenat tigre brillant.
02:22
You do not have to spend a lot of money to look great.
53
142260
4000
No cal gastar-se molts diners per estar fantàstica.
02:26
You can almost always look phenomenal for under $50.
54
146260
3000
Gairebé sempre es pot estar fenomenal per menys de $50.
02:29
This whole outfit, including the jacket,
55
149260
2000
Tot el conjunt, jaqueta inclosa,
02:31
cost me $55,
56
151260
2000
em va costar $55,
02:33
and it was the most expensive thing
57
153260
2000
i era el més car
02:35
that I wore the entire week.
58
155260
2000
de tota la setmana.
02:37
Monday: Color is powerful.
59
157260
3000
Dilluns: el color és poder.
02:40
It is almost physiologically impossible
60
160260
3000
És gairebé impossible fisiològicament
02:43
to be in a bad mood when you're wearing bright red pants.
61
163260
3000
estar de mal humor quan portes pantalons vermells.
02:46
(Laughter)
62
166260
2000
(Rialles)
02:48
If you are happy,
63
168260
3000
Si estàs content,
02:51
you are going to attract other happy people to you.
64
171260
3000
atrauràs altres persones contentes.
02:54
Tuesday:
65
174260
2000
Dimarts:
02:56
Fitting in is way overrated.
66
176260
3000
Encaixar està molt sobrevalorat.
02:59
I've spent a whole lot of my life
67
179260
2000
M'he passat gran part de la vida
03:01
trying to be myself
68
181260
2000
intentant ser jo mateixa
03:03
and at the same time fit in.
69
183260
2000
i alhora intentant encaixar.
03:05
Just be who you are.
70
185260
2000
Sigueu vosaltres mateixos i prou.
03:07
If you are surrounding yourself with the right people,
71
187260
3000
Si us rodegeu de la gent adient,
03:10
they will not only get it,
72
190260
2000
no només ho entendran,
03:12
they will appreciate it.
73
192260
2000
sinó que ho agrairan.
03:14
Wednesday:
74
194260
2000
Dimecres:
03:16
Embrace your inner child.
75
196260
2000
Accepta el teu nen interior.
03:18
Sometimes people tell me
76
198260
2000
De vegades la gent em diu
03:20
that I look like I'm playing dress-up,
77
200260
2000
que sembla que jugui a disfressar-me
03:22
or that I remind them of their seven-year-old.
78
202260
4000
o que els recordo la seva filla de 7 anys.
03:26
I like to smile
79
206260
2000
M'agrada somriure
03:28
and say, "Thank you."
80
208260
2000
i dir: "Gràcies."
03:30
Thursday:
81
210260
2000
Dijous:
03:32
Confidence is key.
82
212260
2000
La seguretat és bàsica.
03:34
If you think you look good in something,
83
214260
2000
Si creus que una cosa et queda bé,
03:36
you almost certainly do.
84
216260
2000
gairebé segur que és així.
03:38
And if you don't think you look good in something,
85
218260
2000
I si creus que una cosa no et queda bé,
03:40
you're also probably right.
86
220260
2000
també molt probablement tinguis raó.
03:42
I grew up with a mom who taught me this day-in and day-out.
87
222260
4000
Quan era petita, la meva mare m'ho ensenyava dia sí, dia no.
03:46
But it wasn't until I turned 30
88
226260
2000
Però no va ser fins que vaig fer els 30
03:48
that I really got what this meant.
89
228260
2000
que vaig ho entendre realment.
03:50
And I'm going to break it down for you for just a second.
90
230260
3000
Ara us ho explico en un segon.
03:53
If you believe you're a beautiful person
91
233260
3000
Si creieu en la vostra bellesa personal
03:56
inside and out,
92
236260
3000
per dins i per fora,
03:59
there is no look that you can't pull off.
93
239260
3000
us podeu posar qualsevol cosa.
04:02
So there is no excuse for any of us here in this audience.
94
242260
2000
No hi ha excusa per a ningú del públic.
04:04
We should be able to rock anything we want to rock.
95
244260
3000
Hauríem de lluir qualsevol cosa que vulguem lluir.
04:07
Thank you.
96
247260
2000
Gràcies.
04:09
(Applause)
97
249260
3000
(Aplaudiments)
04:12
Friday: A universal truth -- five words for you:
98
252260
3000
Divendres: Una veritat universal. En sis paraules:
04:15
Gold sequins go with everything.
99
255260
5000
Els lluentons daurats van amb tot.
04:20
And finally, Saturday:
100
260260
3000
I finalment, dissabte:
04:23
Developing your own unique personal style
101
263260
2000
Aconseguir un estil personal propi
04:25
is a really great way to tell the world something about you
102
265260
3000
és una manera boníssima de parlar al món sobre un mateix
04:28
without having to say a word.
103
268260
2000
sense ni una sola paraula.
04:30
It's been proven to me time and time again
104
270260
2000
N'he tingut la prova una vegada i una altra
04:32
as people have walked up to me this week
105
272260
2000
amb gent que se m'ha acostat aquesta setmana
04:34
simply because of what I'm wearing,
106
274260
2000
només pel que portava posat.
04:36
and we've had great conversations.
107
276260
2000
I hem tingut converses genials.
04:38
So obviously this is not all going to fit
108
278260
2000
Òbviament no tot m'hi cabrà
04:40
back in my tiny suitcase.
109
280260
2000
a la maleta minúscula que duia.
04:42
So before I go home to Brooklyn,
110
282260
2000
O sigui que abans de tornar a Brooklyn,
04:44
I'm going to donate everything back.
111
284260
2000
ho tornaré a donar tot.
04:46
Because the lesson I'm trying to learn myself this week
112
286260
3000
Perquè la lliçó que intento aprendre aquesta setmana
04:49
is that it's okay to let go.
113
289260
3000
és que desprendre's de coses està bé.
04:52
I don't need to get emotionally attached to these things
114
292260
2000
No necessito establir un vincle emocional amb aquestes coses,
04:54
because around the corner,
115
294260
2000
perquè a la cantonada
04:56
there is always going to be
116
296260
2000
sempre hi haurà
04:58
another crazy, colorful,
117
298260
2000
un altre conjunt esbojarrat,
05:00
shiny outfit
118
300260
2000
colorista, brillant
05:02
just waiting for me,
119
302260
2000
esperant-me
05:04
if I put a little love in my heart and look.
120
304260
2000
si busco amb una mica d'amor.
05:06
Thank you very much.
121
306260
2000
Moltes gràcies.
05:08
(Applause)
122
308260
3000
(Aplaudiments)
05:11
Thank you.
123
311260
2000
Gràcies.
05:13
(Applause)
124
313260
5000
