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. I love finding, wearing, and more recently, photographing and blogging a different, colorful, crazy outfit for every single occasion. But I don't buy anything new. I get all my clothes secondhand from flea markets and thrift stores. Aww, thank you. Secondhand shopping allows me to reduce the impact my wardrobe has on the environment and on my wallet. I get to meet all kinds of great people; my dollars usually go to a good cause; I look pretty unique; and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt. I mean, what am I going to find today? Is it going to be my size? Will I like the color? Will it be under $20? If all the answers are yes, I feel as though I've won.
Une jam Xhessi, dhe kjo eshte valixhja ime. Por perpara se tju tregoj se cfare kam brenda, do bej nje rrefim public, dhe kjo eshte qe, jam e fiksuar me kostumet. Me pelqen shume te gjej, te vesh, dhe tani kohet e fundit, te fotografoj dhe te fus ne blog, nje veshje krejt ndryshe me shume ngjyra per cdo rast. Por nuk blej asnje gje te re. I blej te gjitha rrobat e mia ne dyqane te dores se dyte nga pazaret dhe dyqane me gjera te perdorura. Aww, faleminderit. Blerja e dores se dyte me lejon te zvogeloj impaktin qe veshjet e mia kane mbi ambjentin dhe ne portofolin tim. Ne fakt me jep mundesine te takoj tere ata njerez te mire; parate e mia shkojne per nje qellim te mire; dukem ndyshe nga te tjeret; dhe e ben pazarin si e gjuetia ime personale per thesare. Po them, cfare do gjej une sot? Do jete masa ime? Do pelqej ngjyren? Do jete nen $20? Nese te gjitha pergjigjet jane "PO", ndihem sikur kam fituar.
I want to get back to my suitcase and tell you what I packed for this exciting week here at TED. I mean, what does somebody with all these outfits bring with her? So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought. I brought seven pairs of underpants and that's it. Exactly one week's worth of undies is all I put in my suitcase. 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. And since you don't know me as the woman walking around TED in her underwear -- (Laughter) that means I found a few things. And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now. Does that sound good? (Applause) So as I do this, I'm also going to tell you a few of the life lessons that, believe it or not, I have picked up in these adventures wearing nothing new.
Le ti rikthehem valixhes time dhe tju them se cfare kam brenda me vete per kete jave emocionuese ne TED. Cfare mund te sjelle me vete dikush me tere keto veshje? Keshtuqe do tju tregoj tamam se cfare kam sjelle. Kam shtate pale te brendshme dhe aq. Te brendshme per nje jave dhe aq kam vene ne valixhe. E dija qe mund te gjeja te gjitha te tjerat qe mund te doja te vishja kur te arrija ketu ne Palm Springs. Dhe meqe ju nuk me njihni si gruaja qe ecen neper TED thjesht ne te brendshmet - (te qeshura) do te thote qe kam gjetur ca gjera. Tani dua tju tregoj keto veshje per nje jave. Ju pelqen? (Duartrokitje) Duke bere kete, Do tju them gjithashtu disa mesime te vogla nga jeta qe, po deshe besoni, i kam mesuar nga keto aventura duke veshur asnje gje te re.
So let's start with Sunday. I call this "Shiny Tiger." You do not have to spend a lot of money to look great. You can almost always look phenomenal for under $50. This whole outfit, including the jacket, cost me $55, and it was the most expensive thing that I wore the entire week.
Te fillojme me te Djelen. E quaj kete tiger ne shkelqim. Nuk duhet te harxhosh shume para qe te dukesh bukur. Afersisht cdo here mund te dukesh fenomenale me me pak se 50 dollar. E gjithe kjo veshje, dhe me xhaketen, ishte 55 dollar, dhe ishte veshja me e shtrenjete qe vesha gjate gjithe javes.
Monday: Color is powerful. It is almost physiologically impossible to be in a bad mood when you're wearing bright red pants. (Laughter) If you are happy, you are going to attract other happy people to you.
E Hena: Ngjyra eshte e fuqishme. Eshte afersisht fiziologjikisht e pamundur te jesh ne humor te keq kur ke veshur pantallona te kuqe. (Te qeshura) Nese je i gëzuar do terhiqni njerez te tjere te gëzuar.
Tuesday: Fitting in is way overrated. I've spent a whole lot of my life trying to be myself and at the same time fit in. Just be who you are. If you are surrounding yourself with the right people, they will not only get it, they will appreciate it.
E Marte: Pershtatshmeria eshte shume e mbivleresuar. Kam kaluar nje pjese te madhe te jetes duke u munduar te jem vetvetja dhe ne te njeten kohe te pershtatem. Thjesht jetoni si vetja juaj. Nese e rrethon veten me njerez e duhur, ata jo vetem qe do te te kuptojne, po dhe do te vleresojne.
Wednesday: Embrace your inner child. Sometimes people tell me that I look like I'm playing dress-up, or that I remind them of their seven-year-old. I like to smile and say, "Thank you."
E Merkura: Sillu si femija qe ke brenda. Ndonjehere njerezit me thone qe duket sikur po loz me rroba, ose qe i dukem si femija e tyre 7 vjece. Me pelqen te buzeqesh dhe te them "Faleminderit".
Thursday: Confidence is key. If you think you look good in something, you almost certainly do. And if you don't think you look good in something, you're also probably right. I grew up with a mom who taught me this day-in and day-out. But it wasn't until I turned 30 that I really got what this meant. And I'm going to break it down for you for just a second. If you believe you're a beautiful person inside and out, there is no look that you can't pull off. So there is no excuse for any of us here in this audience. We should be able to rock anything we want to rock. Thank you.
E Enjte: Besimi eshte shume i rendesishem. Nese mendon qe dukesh mire ne dicka, pothuasje me siguri qe dukeni mire. Dhe po mendove qe nuk dukesh bukur ne nje veshje, gjithashtu ke te drejte. U rrita me nje mama qe me mesoi kete gje cdo dite. Por nuk ishte deri sa u bera 30 vjece qe me te vertete mesova se cfare do te thoshte. Dhe do t'jua shpjegoj dhe juve ne nje sekond. Po mendove qe je njeri i bukur, ne shpirt dhe ne dukje, do te dukesh mire me cdo veshje. Keshtu qe nuk ka asnje arsye per ndonje nga ne ketu ne audience. Mund te veshim cfare do qe duam e te shkelqejme. Faleminderit.
(Applause)

Friday: A universal truth -- five words for you: Gold sequins go with everything.
E Premte: nje e vertete universale - pese fjale: Teminat e arta shkojne me te gjitha.
And finally, Saturday: Developing your own unique personal style is a really great way to tell the world something about you without having to say a word. It's been proven to me time and time again as people have walked up to me this week simply because of what I'm wearing, and we've had great conversations.
Dhe me ne fund, e Shtuna: Te zhvillosh stilin personal te vecante eshte nje menyre shume e bukur per ti treguar botes dicka per ty pa thene asnje fjale. E kam pare kohe pas kohe me njerez qe jane afruar te takohen kete jave thjesht nga veshjet e mia. Dhe kemi patur diskutime te bukura.
So obviously this is not all going to fit back in my tiny suitcase. So before I go home to Brooklyn, I'm going to donate everything back. Because the lesson I'm trying to learn myself this week is that it's okay to let go. I don't need to get emotionally attached to these things because around the corner, there is always going to be another crazy, colorful, shiny outfit just waiting for me, if I put a little love in my heart and look.
Dhe e di qe sigurisht keto rroba nuk do futen dot brenda ne valixhen time te vogel. Keshtuqe perpara se te kthehem ne Brooklyn, do ti dhuroj te gjitha. Sepse mesimi qe po mundohem te mesoj vete kete jave eshte qe nuk eshte keq te ti le gjerat te shkojne. Nuk me duhet te lidhem emocionalisht me keto gjera, sepse afer meje, do te kete gjithmone, nje veshje tjeter me ngjyra te forta, veshje me shkëlqim duke pritur per mua, nese i shikoj ato me dashuri.
Thank you very much.
Faleminderit shume.
(Applause)
(Duartrokitje)
Thank you.
Faleminderit.
