I am so excited for your new bag & cant wait to see you style it. I love the quirky twists you add to classic pieces & feel like that is 'your style' Embrace it & Love it 😍

The colour is beautiful 😍

Melissa, being beautiful in God‘s eyes means being true to yourself and gods word, and not compromising your body or yourself to fit into any secular mold. True beauty comes from the Holy Spirit. I love your videos. Thank you for your vulnerability.❤❤❤❤❤❤

You look amazing and your bag collection and your style are all great. Just be you and always be true to yourself. Love the bangs on you too❤️

Love the Speedy on you!!

I am a t shirt and jeans person, I am really embracing my love of disney, this was a fabulous video, I see you as a classic dresser, I think your natural self is awesome that's a great thing to show your girls, wear what you feel good about wearing

I have mixed feelings about this, having a young daughter (and a son) myself. I feel the best thing we can model is being our best selves, whatever that means - there are other factors that will influence body image beyond their immediate family. What I hope I can convey is that I take care of myself (and others), I do what I can to be happy and if, or when, I am not it is still ok, and I am loved no matter what.

Hello, I like your videos very much and want to cooperate with you.

I think you can wear this style by just finding the right pieces! A good pair of jeans that has been tailored to you specifically will do wonders !! So many creators ( especially black women with curves also have the classic clean, minimalistic style !) you are beautiful I think it’s just an evolution and finding the right pieces that work for you

😻😻

Maybe we are all a little dissatisfied with things about our bodies. I am 5’3” and also love a lot of the same styles that you mentioned but I don’t feel like they look good on me….i think they look better on taller people 🤪. Finding those baggy or wide leg pants for a petite that fit well can be challenging!

You look beautiful either way. But in my personal opinion, I feel like this hair color suits you so much more. It brings out your amazing skin and eyes. You shouldn’t have to limit yourself when it comes to fashion. Wear and use whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful regardless of other people’s opinion. Individuality is rare nowadays and we should embrace it.

I've watched a heap of your videos, older to recent, and have really enjoyed seeing the changes to your style and you have always been beautiful. That is the joy of life, moving through stages and always learning makes us so much more interesting and compassionate, to others and ourselves ❤

I say wear whatever you want and whatever you feel good and confident wearing. You are beautiful…in your old pics and the way you are now. I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been over 300 lbs and have recently lost over 100 lbs. I’m now finding myself and my style after years of covering up and wearing boxy clothes. I love the style that you describe.

I think lip fillers look horrible on everyone. People look like "puffer fish". I am glad you decided to stop using them. As to the diet: I cut out sugar and bread from my diet. I also eat only real food (the food that does not come in a box). I eat everything else and I have lost a lot of weight and I don't need to diet. I recommend you try it. Women are never satisficed with the way they look. In college I had a friend who was a catalog model and all she did was complain about her looks.

This was such a great video. I feel a lot like you do and I bet most women tend to feel the same. I hope your video touches women who are struggling and that it helps them.

Melissa…you are such a beautiful woman. Be happy with yourself. We adore you. You are just as beautiful inside as you show us on the outside. 💕

I love the color of your DIOR! She’s a beauty! 🥹🤩🦄 would u purchase this in other colors/patterns? Just curious.

My growth is really slow too Melissa, I think it is the time of year. I have even lost subs, it's weird but hopefully things will pick up soon. Don't ;et anyone make you feel bag about anything you love because you are worthy. I am a grandma and I wear my hippie stuff and groove it haha I wear classics, casual, athletics and whatever I love or feel at the time. I even wear flowers in my hair sometimes haha YOu are beautiful in everything you wear!

You wear what you like girl! And I hope you feel beautiful and confident doing it. ❤️

You keep saying you gained weight. Where? Your pinky ? Lol. Can't wait to see what you bought.

I love this video!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼you are gorgeous before and now! Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to see your haul ! ❤️

😍😍🔥

Thank you for making this video and sharing your thoughts about your style. I love this type of content and appreciate how genuine and reflective you are.

Hi Melissa I just want to say first off you’re beautiful enhancements or not you are gorgeous secondly I love your style it’s authentically you and may I say this shirt is you stunning and the green Peekaboo is fabulous 💚💚💚

We need to switch bodies 😭 No- At the end of the day, we’ve just got to work with what we’ve got 😊 it’s so funny hearing someone say the opposite of what I’ve said for years: I wish I had hips and curves, a tiny waist and more feminine silhouette so I can fit into those dresses and blah blah. No one is perfect and there will always be something we want to change. Do what makes you feel good because life is too short to be consumed with anything but that.

I'm newish to luxury (about 1.5 years) and i'm glad I found you as the "real" you and not some "fake" you that the media tells us we need to be. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure you looked beautiful both ways, but this is the Melissa that I "met" and fell in love with and I wouldn't want you to change for anyone else's expectations! Your collection of bags is so unique also, I love watching your videos. I don't even pay attention to colors like that but I feel like people's energy speaks for itself and you have always given off real and positive vibes

Firstly I think you are beautiful! And I love your natural hair but there’s nothing wrong with playing with it and changing it if you want to. we all have the right to want to be a certain size and to try to achieve that if we are more comfortable at that size, as long as it is at a healthy level. Meaning we get there through natural healthy eating and movement and adequate food intake. I think your style actually looks good on someone without any curves, and tall, not on petites. I am petite and I get swallowed up by large baggy things. But that doesn’t mean I can’t wear one baggy item. Just not everything. And it doesn’t mean you can’t wear what you want. And our style evolves and changes as time goes by. It should because we evolve. I just watched a video by a color analyst and stylist named Merriam,(the channel is Merriam style).She talked about this exact topic about dressing like our dream selves (she doesn’t like the term fantasy self as she believes it’s invalidating and I agree), and incorporating elements of that style in our wardrobes. Another stylist who believes that in a major way is Christie Ressel. She has a lot of old you tube videos and is on IG now. You should definitely incorporate what you love into your daily wardrobe and you can wear any bag you like! I have a few different bag styles. They dont all look the same. How boring! And I love your muted color palette. Whoever told you that you can’t wear it I think was not correct. you have low contrast coloring and muted colors look great on that coloring. We should be able to play around with our style and I corporate what we love into our daily lives.

I just want to say I agree with everything @NothingButBags said ❤. You can do and wear whatever you like. You need to feel good about yourself

You are beautiful natural! Its what you were given! But we all jusy want a little help. I have no eyebrows so i got mine microbladed. I have wispy nothings for eyelashes so i get lash extensions. I use to have straight black hair but now i have so much gray hair that i get balayage to blend the grays in. We all evolve over the years so its quite ok to try new things. Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. I believe in aging gracefully. I look back at my old photos, jango jeans... 😂

Great vid ! I can totally relate ! I’m 43 w a 3 year old - and also we recently moved from Detroit to Houston - so lot of changes w body and wardrobe! I’m totally a jeans girl but way too hot here and I don’t love dresses ….. I’ve been trying out linen shorts and pants ! Also I love baggy clothes paired with something tighter - like wide leg linen pants w a fitted top and crossbody bag look so cute ! Also I got my colors done 18 months ago and I love knowing and I love talking about color analysis! You are beautiful and a good mom and a good person !

I subscribed, I think you’re lovely even though I don’t agree we have to go “all natural” to be beautiful… enhancements just need to be complimentary to your natural features AND make you feel good. If they don’t, then sure move on from them. Really good extensions, hair color, filler, Botox, etc usually is subtle and people hardly notice… and btw I’m new here and didn’t see your previous look so I’m not commenting on your previous choices. I just think it’s a very personal thing. Also you should wear what you want and carry what you want, if it makes you happy and makes you feel good. And, incidentally your natural hair color is beautiful. Edited to add: good luck with your subscriber goals 🎉

It’s so hard to not compare. Whether we are comparing our today to the past or another person. At any size or stage everything in that moment wasn’t fabulous either just maybe different don’t give up on finding your peace in each season.

Our style changes as we move through the phases of our lives. You wont want to dress and look the same when you are 45 or 55. Embrace your current self and style accordingly.
