Jessi Arrington: Wearing nothing new

Translator: Valbona Bushi Reviewer: Helena Bedalli

I'm Jessi, and this is my suitcase.

Une jam Xhessi, dhe kjo eshte valixhja ime.

But before I show you what I've got inside,

Por perpara se tju tregoj se cfare kam brenda,

I'm going to make a very public confession,

do bej nje rrefim public,

and that is,

dhe kjo eshte qe,

I'm outfit-obsessed.

jam e fiksuar me kostumet.

I love finding, wearing,

Me pelqen shume te gjej, te vesh,

and more recently,

dhe tani kohet e fundit,

photographing and blogging

te fotografoj dhe te fus ne blog,

a different, colorful, crazy outfit

nje veshje krejt ndryshe me shume ngjyra

for every single occasion.

per cdo rast.

But I don't buy anything new.

Por nuk blej asnje gje te re.

I get all my clothes secondhand

I blej te gjitha rrobat e mia ne dyqane te dores se dyte

from flea markets and thrift stores.

nga pazaret dhe dyqane me gjera te perdorura.

Aww, thank you.

Aww, faleminderit.

Secondhand shopping

Blerja e dores se dyte

allows me to reduce the impact

me lejon te zvogeloj impaktin

my wardrobe has on the environment

qe veshjet e mia kane mbi ambjentin

and on my wallet.

dhe ne portofolin tim.

I get to meet all kinds of great people;

Ne fakt me jep mundesine te takoj tere ata njerez te mire;

my dollars usually go to a good cause;

parate e mia shkojne per nje qellim te mire;

I look pretty unique;

dukem ndyshe nga te tjeret;

and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt.

dhe e ben pazarin si e gjuetia ime personale per thesare.

I mean, what am I going to find today?

Po them, cfare do gjej une sot?

Is it going to be my size?

Do jete masa ime?

Will I like the color?

Do pelqej ngjyren?

Will it be under $20?

Do jete nen $20?

If all the answers are yes,

Nese te gjitha pergjigjet jane "PO",

I feel as though I've won.

ndihem sikur kam fituar.

I want to get back to my suitcase

Le ti rikthehem valixhes time

and tell you what I packed

dhe tju them se cfare kam brenda me vete

for this exciting week here at TED.

per kete jave emocionuese ne TED.

I mean, what does somebody with all these outfits bring with her?

Cfare mund te sjelle me vete dikush me tere keto veshje?

So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought.

Keshtuqe do tju tregoj tamam se cfare kam sjelle.

I brought seven pairs of underpants

Kam shtate pale te brendshme

and that's it.

dhe aq.

Exactly one week's worth of undies

Te brendshme per nje jave

is all I put in my suitcase.

dhe aq kam vene ne valixhe.

I was betting that I'd be able to find

E dija qe mund te gjeja

everything else I could possible want to wear

te gjitha te tjerat qe mund te doja te vishja

once I got here to Palm Springs.

kur te arrija ketu ne Palm Springs.

And since you don't know me

Dhe meqe ju nuk me njihni

as the woman walking around TED in her underwear --

si gruaja qe ecen neper TED thjesht ne te brendshmet -

(Laughter)

(te qeshura)

that means I found a few things.

do te thote qe kam gjetur ca gjera.

And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now.

Tani dua tju tregoj keto veshje per nje jave.

Does that sound good?

Ju pelqen?

(Applause)

(Duartrokitje)

So as I do this,

Duke bere kete,

I'm also going to tell you a few of the life lessons

Do tju them gjithashtu disa mesime te vogla nga jeta

that, believe it or not, I have picked up

qe, po deshe besoni, i kam mesuar

in these adventures wearing nothing new.

nga keto aventura duke veshur asnje gje te re.

So let's start with Sunday.

Te fillojme me te Djelen.

I call this "Shiny Tiger."

E quaj kete tiger ne shkelqim.

You do not have to spend a lot of money to look great.

Nuk duhet te harxhosh shume para qe te dukesh bukur.

You can almost always look phenomenal for under $50.

Afersisht cdo here mund te dukesh fenomenale me me pak se 50 dollar.

This whole outfit, including the jacket,

E gjithe kjo veshje, dhe me xhaketen,

cost me $55,

ishte 55 dollar,

and it was the most expensive thing

dhe ishte veshja me e shtrenjete

that I wore the entire week.

qe vesha gjate gjithe javes.

Monday: Color is powerful.

E Hena: Ngjyra eshte e fuqishme.

It is almost physiologically impossible

Eshte afersisht fiziologjikisht e pamundur

to be in a bad mood when you're wearing bright red pants.

te jesh ne humor te keq kur ke veshur pantallona te kuqe.

(Laughter)

(Te qeshura)

If you are happy,

Nese je i gëzuar

you are going to attract other happy people to you.

do terhiqni njerez te tjere te gëzuar.

Tuesday:

E Marte:

Fitting in is way overrated.

Pershtatshmeria eshte shume e mbivleresuar.

I've spent a whole lot of my life

Kam kaluar nje pjese te madhe te jetes

trying to be myself

duke u munduar te jem vetvetja

and at the same time fit in.

dhe ne te njeten kohe te pershtatem.

Just be who you are.

Thjesht jetoni si vetja juaj.

If you are surrounding yourself with the right people,

Nese e rrethon veten me njerez e duhur,

they will not only get it,

ata jo vetem qe do te te kuptojne,

they will appreciate it.

po dhe do te vleresojne.

Wednesday:

E Merkura:

Embrace your inner child.

Sillu si femija qe ke brenda.

Sometimes people tell me

Ndonjehere njerezit me thone

that I look like I'm playing dress-up,

qe duket sikur po loz me rroba,

or that I remind them of their seven-year-old.

ose qe i dukem si femija e tyre 7 vjece.

I like to smile

Me pelqen te buzeqesh

and say, "Thank you."

dhe te them "Faleminderit".

Thursday:

E Enjte:

Confidence is key.

Besimi eshte shume i rendesishem.

If you think you look good in something,

Nese mendon qe dukesh mire ne dicka,

you almost certainly do.

pothuasje me siguri qe dukeni mire.

And if you don't think you look good in something,

Dhe po mendove qe nuk dukesh bukur ne nje veshje,

you're also probably right.

gjithashtu ke te drejte.

I grew up with a mom who taught me this day-in and day-out.

U rrita me nje mama qe me mesoi kete gje cdo dite.

But it wasn't until I turned 30

Por nuk ishte deri sa u bera 30 vjece

that I really got what this meant.

qe me te vertete mesova se cfare do te thoshte.

And I'm going to break it down for you for just a second.

Dhe do t'jua shpjegoj dhe juve ne nje sekond.

If you believe you're a beautiful person

Po mendove qe je njeri i bukur,

inside and out,

ne shpirt dhe ne dukje,

there is no look that you can't pull off.

do te dukesh mire me cdo veshje.

So there is no excuse for any of us here in this audience.

Keshtu qe nuk ka asnje arsye per ndonje nga ne ketu ne audience.

We should be able to rock anything we want to rock.

Mund te veshim cfare do qe duam e te shkelqejme.

Thank you.

Faleminderit.

(Applause)

(Duartrokitje)

Friday: A universal truth -- five words for you:

E Premte: nje e vertete universale - pese fjale:

Gold sequins go with everything.

Teminat e arta shkojne me te gjitha.

And finally, Saturday:

Dhe me ne fund, e Shtuna:

Developing your own unique personal style

Te zhvillosh stilin personal te vecante

is a really great way to tell the world something about you

eshte nje menyre shume e bukur per ti treguar botes dicka per ty

without having to say a word.

pa thene asnje fjale.

It's been proven to me time and time again

E kam pare kohe pas kohe

as people have walked up to me this week

me njerez qe jane afruar te takohen kete jave

simply because of what I'm wearing,

thjesht nga veshjet e mia.

and we've had great conversations.

Dhe kemi patur diskutime te bukura.

So obviously this is not all going to fit

Dhe e di qe sigurisht keto rroba nuk do futen dot

back in my tiny suitcase.

brenda ne valixhen time te vogel.

So before I go home to Brooklyn,

Keshtuqe perpara se te kthehem ne Brooklyn,

I'm going to donate everything back.

do ti dhuroj te gjitha.

Because the lesson I'm trying to learn myself this week

Sepse mesimi qe po mundohem te mesoj vete kete jave

is that it's okay to let go.

eshte qe nuk eshte keq te ti le gjerat te shkojne.

I don't need to get emotionally attached to these things

Nuk me duhet te lidhem emocionalisht me keto gjera,

because around the corner,

sepse afer meje,

there is always going to be

do te kete gjithmone,

another crazy, colorful,

nje veshje tjeter me ngjyra te forta,

shiny outfit

veshje me shkëlqim

just waiting for me,

duke pritur per mua,

if I put a little love in my heart and look.

nese i shikoj ato me dashuri.

Thank you very much.

Faleminderit shume.

(Applause)

(Duartrokitje)

Thank you.

Faleminderit.

(Applause)
