I Let My Most Stylish Friends Dress Me For A Week

-How would you describe my style? - A very sexy kindergarten girl, I would say. - Hello everyone, I'm Ashly Pérez. I mainly do written content on BuzzFeedViolet, and it's pretty embarrassing. It's like I fell to the ground or was ungrateful. But recently, I've been making some unscripted videos that are about body positivity and self-improvement. But the last piece of the puzzle that I feel like I don't have is style. I don't have any loot. I have humor and intelligence and I can talk politics, but when it comes to confidence and style, I have none of that.

I really only use four colors. I wear grey, denim, black, white and then any variety of stripes as you can see. I've gotten to a place where I'm afraid to take big, bold leaps, so I really want to challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone. I chose Freddie and Jazz for this challenge because they are the two boldest women in my life. They wear what they want, when they want. So my job this

week

will be to wear the exact outfit that Freddie and Jazz picked out for me, and then I'll have to upload it to Instagram without posting anything about the challenge, so people don't know that's what I do.

I'm doing this for. - So Ashly's style. -So how would you describe my style? -Something informal, sometimes sporty? - Little sister. - Healthy. - California teen is the best way to describe your style. - I feel like she values ​​comfort. However, I think that, in her opinion, comfortable equals very safe. - Yes. - And don't take risks. -Ashly has been so focused on everything else but her clothes that we're not even supposed to see her clothes. -So what we did was buy five outfits for Ashly. - She gave us permission to go crazy. - I want her to look nervous on the street. - I'm excited to put a bunch of hats and some fun prints on it. - Let's fuck this up. - I'm so ready to ruin it. - Something like this has to happen. - I like that.

I'm really drawn to these, simply because I've never seen her in them. - Okay, let's do it! We couldn't put her in those. She wouldn't know what to do. I like any of these. - I like them both, yes. -Even if she doesn't feel comfortable in the clothes we put on her, I want her to be confident and feel empowered by just being her. - I am ready and willing to give myself to you, and I am very excited and also very terrified. - I think you will be very surprised by the outfits. - Well. - The outfits combined with the bob will look great. - Wait to? - The shake.

We're going to... Yeah, we're going to give you a shake. - We didn't agree with that... - Yes? - No. - Okay Bob, bye! -Beto! - What just happened? - Yes, we weren't joking. Ashly is getting a shake. And this is her real stylist, Elle. - Hi guys. So tell me what you were thinking, what kind of ideas did you have in mind? -I want a blunt cut, I want her to be fashionable and just say: "There she is." - And we want to take it back to the darkness. All in one color. - Yes, good!

I'll send her out of here looking like a supermodel. - Fuck yes! - Three-way high-five! - There are al

most

five. Yes. - I feel like Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries. (wonderful music) (Ashly gasps) I feel my neck, I feel where the scissors are on my neck. Oh God... (gasps) - Yes! - Wow... Oh my God. It's so short. I like it a lot. - This is even better than I imagined. It's like everything together, the color plus the blunt cut, and then plus your cute little face, it all looks so good! Oh my God. This will enhance each outfit. - I can not wait. - Day one.

They are getting ready to

dress

me. - Hurrah! Ashly will be sporting neon yellow shorts, an oversized zip-up sweatshirt, tube socks, Converse, and a backwards hat. - Very good, Freddie and Jazz

dress

ed me for the first time. It's definitely different to me, I've already gotten some responses like "Oh, suit!" I think younger me would have made this outfit, but at some point I started to feel like people don't dress like this and that I shouldn't dress like this. So I think I'll get a lot of interesting looks today. But I feel good. Honestly, after cutting my hair last night, I felt such a transformation that I can't even imagine anything scarier than that, so put on the clothes! - You look like someone from Rocket Power. (Ashly gasps) - Yes! - I love your hair. - Yeah? - It looks so good. - And are you eating a cheese stick?

You literally look like a child. - You look amazing. I like the suit. - Actually? - Yes. - Who designed you? Jazzmyne? -And Freddy. - Yes. - Can you say? - It looks like Jazzmyne and Freddie designed you. - I like it. Pushing limits. - I don't like 'Grammin'. That's why it's a challenge, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. - It is very important to have enthusiasm when using Instagram. I was always very quiet if no one said anything. When someone gave me specific instructions like "Drop your chin," "Look this way," or "Make this face," it helped me a lot. - Part of this challenge I have is Instagram every day, being okay with myself and knowing that I won't be perfect the first time, and not commenting on anything funny.

I call this "Stretching Man." I thought they were going to dress me completely differently than I did. I thought they were going to have big heels or platforms. They were buying me converse. Day two. So the second day it was some big, oversized plaid pants, and then this asymmetrical shirt, and then a yellow beret. And I'm not going to lie, when they brought out the beret, I was a little like... Oh God. I don't think I've ever worn a beret. - Well here you go. - Oh Lord! Well. - Ash. - Okay... - Be prepared for a lot of people to tell you that you look French.

A beret is fashion, it is a look, as if it were that usual bangs. - I can't believe I'm wearing this. - I feel like you're kidding us now. - Kind of like a sleepover downstairs, with a French baseball player upstairs. - The beret is really taking it over the top. I could see you without the beret. - But is the beret too much? - The beret is a lot. - I've been wearing my new outfit for a couple of hours now. I think the beret is throwing people off. And I don't care about the beret, I feel like it's part of the experiment.

I'll take off the beret for a while and see if I react differently to the outfit and if people like it more or less. - Oh my God, what the fuck... What are you doing? What is this? - I like everything individually but I've never seen you dress like that, so it's like, who is this person? - What do you think of this set? - I like it. I'm a little confused by that. - So it's been a day and a half where Ashly is trying out a slightly new style. We're proud of Ashly, but we're angry. - We definitely want authentic reactions from people, but we feel that people are not open-minded.

He ended up taking off his yellow beret. That's literally the only thing people commented on, and al

most

made fun of. We don't want this to turn her away from wanting to take risks and wear things to work, you know? - Berets are great. Duh. The moral of the story is that we will make him put his beret back on. - Put your beret back on. - I love the hat. The hat, the glasses, the matching yellow... Adorable. - I can't believe you didn't wear the hat before. - Does the hat make a difference? - The hat makes a big difference.

It's like the decorative piece. It really brings everything together, it's like a focal point. It feels complete now. - Do you like the hat? - I love the hat. I think she suits you very well. - Oh shit! That was probably my favorite outfit. It looked really cool. I felt like a 90s cartoon character, but in a really cool way. Today we will publish a candid! Did you know? If you want to wear a hat, wear it. Oh Lord. But you're still going to dress me. Oh! That...? Alright. - Then you are going to wear this dress. - The third day was this giant, oversized denim dress with a hood and then a hat, and people made a lot of Steve Zissou Aquatic Life jokes on me. - I met Steve Zissou... - I think this might be the best for you of everything you've ever used. - I think I'm okay with that, because it's effortlessly cool, which I feel like you are.

You are kind of effortlessly cool. - You are comfortable and cool. - So we just received a grandmother. However, we found a really cool and strange location, with strange lighting. I don't know if it's because I haven't had that much energy all day, I've just been sitting at my desk, it was harder for me to get the energy to make the movie. But let's go out! (club music) The third day was fun because we went out with that band, and although it's not what I would normally consider a going out band, we went to a club where they played old music.

In that I felt like Julia Stiles in Save the Last Dance. We had so much fun and danced until 2 in the morning and I was completely sweaty and disgusting. - Ash, you still look fabulous! - I feel like the outfit made me feel different than how I would normally feel. - Actually? - Yeah! I don't dance at all. And I was sober half the night. - You were dancing a lot, and well... - You looked great, boo, you looked great. - So this will be Saturday's outfit? - Yes, this will be Saturday's outfit. We won't be with Ashly, so we'll show you how to do it. - On the fourth day I wore this, Adidas sweatpants and plaid Vans.

I like this! It seems nice. - It is not comfortable? - It's really comfortable. That was a super comfortable day. It was really funny because I was walking around San Diego having my parents take pictures and video of me. My parents are now so used to me working at BuzzFeed that it doesn't even bother them. They said, "This is a different look for you." - Day five! -Day five was this giant, oversized, plaid shirt dress with fishnet stockings and a cat bag. I really felt like I was 6 years old dressing up, but in the best way.

Like a really cool 6 year old. Well, this is the outfit for the last day. What would you call this? - I would call this look 90s skater chic. - Yes. - I really feel like a different person. - You look great! - Thank you! Okay, let's do this. - Okay, the black and white with a touch of blue, and also the fishnet stockings, you look really amazing, Ashly. - I love it. I feel like you should be part of Spice World. (Ashly gasps) - We did it! - We did it? You did it! - You did it! - I did it! - First of all, I'm surprised you even let us give you a shake. - Yes.

The bob is my favorite part! The bob was the first thing we did and there was really no turning back from there. - I was surprised that you were so depressed. You said, "What is it? Okay, put it on." You didn't really ask questions. You were into this and I loved how you were and it shows your dedication and how committed you are to developing and growing and trying new things, and I think this really put you into a new side of Ashly, and I'm very, very proud. . -My perception of you changed. I knew you personally for being very confident in your thoughts, writing and seeing you be confident in different clothes was just that little star moment where I thought, "Oh my God!

This is it!" - I think the most interesting thing about this experience is that I feel like I have made a profound emotional change, although everything I did was superficial on the outside. And I think that's because physically putting yourself in a different shell can change how you feel inside. Thanks guys! (group sighing) - Thank you for being with us! - No more surprise haircuts. The last vlog ending was when you guys said, "And now for the bob." - So now, a bowl cut. (laugh)
