Look good, feel good -- the case for playing dress up | Jessica Quirk | TEDxBloomington
Jessica Schroeder Quirk is the author behind What I Wore, a personal-style and fashion-based blog, and What I Wore: Four Seasons, One Closet, Endless Recipes for Personal Style, due in bookstores this summer. A graduate of Indiana University with a degree in Apparel Merchandising, Jessica worked as a fashion designer in New York City from 2005-2009.
Since 2008, Jessica has been posting photos and descriptions of her daily ensembles along with wardrobe advice, do-it-yourself project ideas and behind the scenes peeks at the New York fashion scene. She has been quoted in Women's Wear Daily and the Wall Street Journal and been featured in the New York Post, Time Out New York, Lucky Magazine and Paper Magazine. Jessica has been a twice-featured speaker at the Independent Fashion Blogger's Evolving Influence Conference during New York Fashion Week.
Last fall, Jessica married Adam Quirk (who shoots most of her daily photos) and they returned to Bloomington to make a home.
At TEDxBloomington, Jessica relays the importance of clothing in our daily lives. She notes how we all can capture important memories with our clothing, how "there is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear," and that "dressing for the job you want rather than the job you have" can give you "a day full of confidence."

About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBloomington, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBloomington event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

The slight tremor in her voice, the "shoot, this is nerve wracking".. relatable, human and immediately set me at ease. Great talk, great delivery 😊
Soooo nice to finally see someone that doesn't hold a perfect speech and forgets some tiny pieces!! Soo comforting!! So human and sympathetic
So sweet, in a world where every one is fighting for the right to be anything but clothed.
Yesterday I had to tackle a difficult situation at work. I knew it was coming so I chose to wear one of my bracelets that says "fearless". And that helped me! 😉
Well, I'm probably three times as old as this young lady and from my experience, she is right.
At work I wear uniform . So usually I dress down in a hoody and pants and sneakers. But I feel so frumpy and not like myself. Because I do love to dress and look good.
She low key reminds me of Jennifer Garner, I also love how supportive the audience is.
Jessica is awesome! She is so likable in this video as well as in her blog. Maybe she should have a show...
wonderful, i feel the same about dressing up
Her voice is so sweet
Thank you!

Always dress well!
well said
I wish my appearance was important to me. It used to be all I thought about and it was extremely toxic. I spent hours doing hair and makeup. I cared more about what I looked like than how I treated my kids. I’ve grown out of my ego now but now I don’t have any motivation to get dressed up. My motivation was my ego and now that that is gone it just feels like. Why get dressed... I’m a stay at home mom and I only get dressed when I go out which is rare and even then I just wear jeans and a T-shirt. I want the motivation back but I don’t know where I can find it. I just don’t care how other people see me anymore.

You dont have to care about how you look. I'm sure you're fine just one way you are. Do you only feel like you should dress up bc others told you to?
I wear Wonder Woman underwear for big tests.

Yesss🌸🌸🌸
IS it still right to not think about what others thinkon all everything orJust of some thing ?
Agree :)
I lost my good watch😟. It is not even expensive, but I didn't find a replacement😢. Other watches seem occasional.
How is it that something so trivial and insignificant as what we wear become so important. There are those whom dress "nice" or "appropriate " and look great, but feel horrible and are horrible humans. The fact is it doesn't matter what we wear or what label is on what we wear, we as a species have been focusing on everything external and in the process neglected the most important part of a human being your interior, the values and morals which can make us collectively progress instead of regress..
She looks similar as Taylor swift🐧🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍃:):)
She is too cute
I want to wear dresses to work.. never really had a job (well advertising sales maybe huh) where I could do that.
She just "and" so much :)

That's it?...Ok.
She looks like taylor swift
She spent a full minute and a half of a five minute speech telling us what she was going to talk about instead of actually talking about it!

Abi Pereira I agree with you and it was just an introduction to her speech. I liked it because it expressed the point of it.

You tell that to people who cannot go out without makeup.
How shallow
Her outfit is laughable.
