Wearing nothing new

Designer Jessi Arrington packed nothing for TEDActive but 7 pairs of undies, buying the rest of her clothes in thrift stores around LA. It's a meditation on conscious consumption wrapped in a rainbow of color and creativity.

(Applause)

00:14 I'm Jessi and this is my suitcase. But before I show you what I've got inside, I'm going to make a very public confession, and that is, I'm outfit-obsessed

00:28 I love finding, wearing and more recently, photografing and blogging a different, colorful, crazy outfit for every single occasion

00:39 But I don't buy anything new

00:42 I get all my clothes secondhand from flea markets and thrifts stores.

00:47 Aww, thank you!

00:50 Secondhand shopping allows me to reduce the impact my wardrobe has on the environment and on my wallet

00:57 I get to meet all kinds of great people;

00:59 my dollars ususally go to good cause;

01:02 I look pretty unique;

01:04 and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt. I mean, what am I going to find today?

01:09 Is it going to be my size? Will I like the color? Will it be under $20 dollars

01:16 If all the answers are yes, I feel as though I've won

01:20 I want to get back to my suitcase and tell what I packed for this exciting week here at TED.

01:27 I mean, what does someboday with all these outfits bring with her?

01:31 So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought.

01:34 I brough seven pairs of underpants and that's it

01:40 Exactly one week's worth of undies is all I put in my suitcase

01:46 I was betting that I'd be able to find everything else I could possible want to wear once I got here to Palm Springs.

01:53 And since you don't know me

01:55 as the woman walking around TED in her underwear

(laughter)

01:59 That means I found a few things

02:01 And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now.

02:05 Does that sound good?

(Applause)

(Aplausos)

00:14 Soy Jessi, y esta es mi maleta. Pero antes de mostrarles lo que hay dentro, voy a hacer una confesión pública, y es que, vivo obsesionada con la ropa.

00:28 Me encanta encontrar, vestir y más recientemente fotografiar y publicar en mi blog conjuntos atrevidos, coloridos y diferentes para cada ocasión

00:39 Pero no compro nada nuevo.

00:42 Toda mi ropa la compro de segunda mano en mercadillos y tiendas de segunda mano.

00:47 ¡Ah, gracias!

00:50 Las compras de segunda mano me permiten reducir el impacto de mi guardarropa en el medio ambiente y en mi billetera.

00:57 Tengo la oportunidad de conocer a gente estupenda;

00:59 mi dinero suele ir a buenas causas;

01:02 Tengo un aspecto bastante único;

01:04 Y comprar se convierte en mi búsqueda perso-nal de tesoros. Es decir, ¿qué voy a encontrar hoy?

01:09 ¿ Será de mi talla? ¿ me gustará el color? ¿costará menos de $20 dolares?

01:16 Si todas las respuestas son positivas, entonces siento que he ganado

01:20 Quiero volver al tema de mi maleta y contar lo que empaqué para esta emocionante semana aquí en TED.

01:27 Quiero decir, ¿qué trae consigo alguien con todos estos atuendos?

01:31 Así que voy a mostrarte exactamente lo que he traído.

01:34 Traje siete pares de ropa interior y nada mas.

01:40 Ropa interior para exactamente una semana es todo lo que he puesto en mi maleta.

01:46 Estaba segura de que encontraría todo lo que quisiera ponerme cuando llegara a Palm Springs.

01:53 Y ya que no me conocen

01:55 como la mujer que camina por TED en ropa interior,

(Risas)

01:59 Eso significa que encontré algunas cosas

02:01 Y me gustaría mostrarles ahora los conjuntos para esta semana

02:05 ¿No suena interesante?

(Aplausos)

Translation Procedure:

MODULATION includes also a variation through change of viewpoint. Therefore, on the minute 1:16 the speaker mentioned the word "yes" and in the translation I translated with the word "positive". In means that I applied the change of viewpoint recpecting the original text, in order that the context can be properly understood
Addition: When the expansion or reduction include missing or adding a meaningful word, we can say “addition” or “omission” . In this case I added a word in the TL. Minute 01:20 I want to get back to my suitcase and the traslation was Quiero volver al tema de mi maleta
