Transcript
00:00I love things that like fit and flair have like a little bit of a fun silhouette to them big
00:04like chunky statement jewelry
00:06anything that just like catches the light
00:34hi I'm Jackie I play guitar with chokecherry we are on our first ever headline tour we're going all across
00:41North America it's been so fun so far welcome to my closet this is what I wear on stage I
00:47guess we'll start over here with probably my favorite piece so far I didn't start the tour with this piece
00:54when we got to New York our lovely friend buy live handmade
01:00she picked this piece out for me and it is absolutely one of my new favorite pieces I would never
01:06choose this color for myself usually I'm kind of very goth and I like darker colors but this is a
01:12bias cut slip and we're not going to talk about how expensive it was but this informs a lot of
01:18my choices now
01:20um yeah I love getting to play with chokecherry um I kind of started as like a session touring person
01:28with them and it's really opened up a whole world of fashion to me really really love it I'm typically
01:34like a much more kind of like masculine leaning person I like to just you know wear like a chic
01:38little t-shirt and jeans but I love getting to like express my more feminine side with this band so
01:44it's really really fun
01:45um yeah speaking of femininity we have even more lace and light colors and this is like one of my
01:53favorite kind of cover ups that I like to wear a pre-show because I like to watch the bands
01:58before we play um so I just kind of pop this bad boy on and then you know no one
02:04can see me and then when I play I take it off so but yeah I love uh I love
02:10like long lines
02:11even though I do kind of lean more mask in my personal style I'm like a secret fashionista so I
02:17love to I love long lines I love like really hugging silhouettes like to you know show off the goods
02:23and show you know show what my mama gave me um so it's a fun piece here uh let's see
02:29oh yeah I can't talk about my closet and not talk about this piece um this is a slip that
02:37you might recognize the graphics on
02:40this is a custom chokecherry slip that have been on sale at our merch booth uh they've been selling like
02:48hotcakes I'm absolutely obsessed with this line um I chose this piece out of the uh I don't know 30
02:56pieces or so that the band got um this is where you really see the goth influence for me I
03:01love darker colors the plum on black is like oh it's like my dream
03:06color combo um but yeah uh so every member of the band has a custom slip and we all kind
03:12of like
03:12match and color coordinate sometimes and it's it's really really fun um but yeah that's uh still leaning a little
03:19more femme uh let's see I love so I love getting pieces kind of like chosen for me and curated
03:26for me because
03:27a lot of times I'm like I just get so tunnel vision and I have no idea like what to
03:31wear
03:33um and I so those are pieces that were more chosen for me but then sometimes I get a piece
03:39and I just like I love it so much but it just like doesn't work or like I can't let
03:43it go
03:44my closet is is a mess right now um but this is a piece that I've had for like ever
03:50and it originally
03:52came without the straps and every time I put it on I was like I hate this piece I never
03:56want to wear it
03:57ever ever in my life and then right before this tour I just added some straps and now it's like
04:02one of my favorite pieces I wore it last night I wish I could wear it again today but I
04:06try not to
04:06outfit repeat too much but this is absolutely one of my favorite pieces um I love lace I love cutouts
04:14you're gonna see a lot more cutouts in my uh in my wardrobe in just a second um but yeah
04:18I love things
04:19that like fit and flare have like a little bit of a fun silhouette to them um and green is
04:24my favorite
04:24color so I absolutely love this piece and typically I pair it with like a longer skirt like the one
04:30I'm
04:30wearing um but sometimes every once in a while when you want to get fancy you just put on a
04:35little
04:35bloomers and you know show off some skin you know it's fun it's fun we have fun um yeah so
04:42this is a
04:42piece that I modified and this is another piece that I modified again sometimes I just like have clothes
04:49and I'm like I love them and I love like a an aspect of them but they just don't quite
04:53work so
04:54I like to get creative um I don't owe a sewing machine so everything if I do so I sew
05:00by hand
05:01and if I don't have a sewing machine I just um grab a pair of scissors and I just cut
05:05shit up
05:07so this was actually a dress um but I didn't like the the way that the mini skirt fit on
05:12me so I just
05:12took a pair of scissors right before tour and I just cut it up the middle put a little emblem
05:16there
05:17so it wouldn't split and then I have this it's like a cute little like flyaway top and it's so
05:21flowy it's so fun on stage you just kind of like whip it around and like looks different in photos
05:26anyway yeah I absolutely love it so yeah uh if you ever don't like your clothes just modify them
05:32you'll you'll be surprised uh yeah okay now we're getting to the more more gothic influences um this
05:39is a lovely piece that I have it's really hard to play guitar in because it's got these massive sleeves
05:46this is very very Stevie Nicks uh and it works when you're just kind of like by yourself on stage
05:51but when you're playing guitar it's a little bit harder to wear so I don't bust this out too often
05:55uh but I actually wore it last time we were in Chicago when we were opening up for Destroy Boys
05:59last year which was so fun um and now we're on our headline tour look at us uh yeah so
06:05that's one
06:06of my favorite pieces don't wear it too often it's hard to play guitar and yeah this is another
06:10consideration you have to make uh in your wardrobe every night is like oh this piece is so cute but
06:16there's no way I can play guitar and hit all the notes on stage so okay so once we're all
06:20done
06:20assembling an outfit we have to do our makeup I'm very bare bones with my makeup but I'm a Leo
06:25Venus
06:25and all my astrology girls are going to know what I mean by that so my absolute bare essentials are
06:30do
06:31my lashes I keep those on and then uh I just use liquid highlighter and I put it all over
06:37my face
06:38because when the stage lights hit it it's just going to shine and it's going to be fun and it's
06:41it's an experiment every day I put it somewhere new on my face and we never know um deodorant
06:47absolute must uh especially when you're in uh venues where you aren't that far from the audience and
06:53you're flinging your arms up and down you're you're gonna want to wear deodorant uh lip blur this
06:58is what I wear every single night it's just a matte lip balm with a little bit of color
07:01uh so that my hair doesn't stick in my lips when I play not too much of like a nail
07:06polish girly but
07:07I just do a little bit of like a shiny top coat and it's all chipped because I'm just
07:11you know hitting my guitar um absolute must in addition to the deodorant this is my absolute
07:16favorite fragrance it's a single scent rose from Demeter fragrance library and I also got this from
07:23Violet Handmade in New York um accessories I love to thrift all of these pieces are thrifted
07:30big like chunky statement jewelry anything that just like catches the light and just like really
07:35feels like regal and elegant uh makes me feel amazing on stage I like absolutely love it
07:40um I get so many compliments whenever I wear this piece specifically it just makes me feel
07:44like a queen um and then the most essential part is that when the show's all done and I get
07:50off stage
07:50I just immediately change out of the uh only shoes that I brought on tour because a lot of times
07:56I
07:56play barefoot uh then I just change into my slides and I put on a cardigan and uh we're ready
08:01to go
08:02so yeah that's my wardrobe
