00:00I love my jeans because they remind me of every reason as to why I'm magic, dope, and
00:06fire combined.
00:08It was about to be the end of the school year.
00:10People were tossing stuff outside of their dorms that they didn't want, and I was walking
00:15past this girl's dorm, and I see these jeans, and I was like, wait, who's their leg?
00:21So then I pulled them out, and lo and behold, they're beautiful.
00:24They have these lapels, and they're high waist, and they're funky like me.
00:29I used to buy clothes based on the size.
00:32If I fit into a smaller size, whether I liked it or not, I was probably buying it.
00:36And so I think this was the first time that I really didn't care at all, didn't pay attention
00:40to it.
00:41Retrained my mind to know that size doesn't matter.
00:44I love my jeans because they remind me that I don't need super tight clothes to feel beautiful
00:51in my body.
00:52I kind of was scared of pants and jeans in general.
00:55So when I went into the store and I tried on the jeans, I was shocked.
01:00They fit so well, and I actually kind of teared up in the dressing room.
01:05It kind of sounds ridiculous, but in a way fashion is so personal that it's not ridiculous.
01:11When I wear these jeans, I feel happy.
01:14When I wear my jeans, I feel sexy.
01:17When I wear these jeans, I feel free.
01:20When I wear these jeans, I feel comfortable and powerful.
01:23When I wear these jeans, I feel confident.
01:27If you don't feel good yourself, I feel like it's a disservice.
01:31It's a disservice to your personhood.
01:33I took a fire Instagram in these jeans, like a fire year, like over 1K likes.
01:38Whatever your story is, whatever you're telling yourself, make sure that you're telling yourself
01:43a positive story.
01:45I remember I was walking down the street one time in these jeans, just minding my own
01:50business, and these two girls came over to me and just like told me I looked so good.
01:54And like, it just made me feel really beautiful.
01:55And I think it made me want to go and compliment other women when I see an outfit that I
02:00like.
02:13Where would you love, wear what feels right to you, wear what makes you feel happy.
02:17When you are dressing for yourself and you feel comfortable and you feel good, you're
02:22gonna carry that out into everything that you're doing in your day and in your life.
02:27Just like, I don't know, whatever you're wearing, if it's jeans or if it's like, I don't know,
02:32lip balm.
02:33Like just be yourself.
02:35That's just me.
02:35That's Jinway in a nutshell.
