I’m petite and I just been loving the everything cropped. Especially tops and sweaters. These past years with everything being cropped has been such a blessing for us petites. Tops finally hit as if I got it custom made instead of being too long. I hope fashion houses keep this up. Also midi skirts look absolutely great on me even though I’m petite. It gives a look of curves on me and a classic 90s look that I love.

[@tuxedoneko9837]

Ditto

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I do agree - if you're petite crops really aren't crops they are generally a perfect length - thanks for the reminder :)

[@jesss2145]

I totally agree! I was about to say how much I love cropped everything too!!! I looove high rise pants so they work perfectly. I'm not about ahowing my midsection in the winter, but there are tons of cropped sweaters, sweatshirts, and shirts that work in the cold weather.

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Just like tall people like longer cut items. Lucky you this year.

[@latinaalma1947]

m buying tops and short cropped sweaters lime mad thus year perectly suited to my body for once! Stock up petites cause theyll be gone in a year nust how fashion works..likely sweaters will soon hit our thighs next to drive the empty your closet and replace everything law of fashion.

[@lauramoreno4672]

Don’t stop making these you’re the only one I know who does these so well

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww that’s very kind thank you 😊

[@trishac9516]

I am short waisted and really enjoy the cropped sweaters and other tops, as long as they hit my natural waist. I am 75, so definitely no skin showing! But when they hit the waist or bit longer, they are so much more flattering than longer sweaters. I am also petite, 5'1-1/2", 113 lbs., small shoulders, with a large bust. Being older, I also prefer mid length skirts, but ones that fall below my calf. If they are available in a petite size, that works the best. I don't care for knee length skirts/dresses anymore, even though my legs are a nice shape. It's the veins that I don't like to show. Self tanner helps, but isn't the solution.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

That makes perfect sense Trisha and I know what you mean about the veins in your legs - mine are getting like that and I don’t like it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Older/ stretched out ears can be helped with Kendra Scott earlobe stabilizing discs. They allow you to wear heavy earrings without discomfort/ pulling!

[@MindiB]

Some of the trends-like crazy art prints-can be pretty easily sourced from vintage shops. This might be an option for those who want to seek a (relatively) inexpensive way to try out a trend. I have found some great options in skirts, blouses, and statement coats (e.g., Pucci-inspired designs) dating from the 50s through the 70s. Plus the search itself can be fun!

[@bernadettehawes]

The supersize trends make people look like children wearing their mother’s clothes. I honestly don’t think this trend will last and we’ll be laughing about it quite soon. And fur on your feet does not mix well with rain and snow

[@Thestyleinsider.]

You're right about fur footwear in rain and snow - arrrgggghhhhh!

[@MissKaygee101]

Loool

[@MartinMosqueda3]

hopefully not but i honestly feel like the oversize vibe will be here for quite a while. Fashion is moving from skinny, like skinny jeans to baggier fits including jeans and pants. skinny was here forever, so i kinda see this new silhouette having a similar staying power

[@Billybloop]

It depends what quality the fur is and how it's placed. You are not going to be able to walk through the muddy countryside or splash in puddles but for everyday city wear it could be OK. I used to wear cardigan UGGs in the winter when I was living in the UK and if you know anything about Britain it's always raining. They rarely got wet because I avoided puddles. Cheaper boots always got really soggy as soon as there was a little bit of drizzle but the more expensive ones didn't. It was as if the surface would get damp but the inside of the shoe didn't. You get what you pay for.

[@Joelswinger34]

Me too. They will be hilarious Halloween costumes in 10 years!

[@squirrly001]

Agree with pretty much everything on your list. In fact, I have scaled back on dangly earrings in general because I am putting and taking off a face mask everytime I go out and the ear loops get hung up on those kinds of earrings.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Ahh yes of course - face masks add another complication to dangly earrings I hadn't thought about - thanks for sharing :)

[@16stoneywood]

Only wearing studs since masks came in

[@myaunteffy1440]

I also wear hearing aids and glasses. That a lot on the ear and when you add earrings and a mask it gets bizarre.

[@ginapuckett5200]

The mid-calf skirt can be extremely flattering with a heeled dark skinny boot or dark tights and matching heels. I wore this look in the early 90's. Glad it's back!

[@annieyahu676]

You are So Right! The people I know who have purchased the "fuzzy shoes" are already complaining about the impractibility of these...especially in keeping them clean. And many people are in semi-lockdown, so going out is limited. It seems to me to choose items that can be worn more later or save your money during this rough time. Your doggy is precious ❤ thanks for the video!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh that’s interesting Annie and makes so much sense - thanks for sharing 😊

[@mc23243]

I can't imagine going out with those shoes, they would be dirty after one wear and would be completely ruined in a rain

[@katymcdonald5481]

I think trends can be great if they already work with your personal style. Some people will get a lot of wear out of sequins and bold prints if it’s already part of their aesthetic.

[@layercakearts]

omg yes I forgot the stretched out earlobes from 80’s earrings! I’m 53 and I love trends but I have some of that earlobe damage from the 80’s and also very severe bunions from the pointy shoes too. Very painful and now I’m doomed to flats only because I damaged my feet so bad in my youth. Great reminder Leoni!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I've got the bunions too but luckily dodged the stretched out earlobes - what were we thinking?

[@bodyandsoul17]

Same age here - I’m not loving those huge earrings or oversized clothing that have been brought back.

[@dinahweisberg750]

I hear you on the dangly earrings! My lobes got so stretched out I finally went to a Plastic Surgeon...for $350 he "refurbished" my lobes. Bonus is that he suggested he take an extra 10% of tissue out to make them look younger. Cost included re-piercing and I couldn't be happier. I don't wear super dangly long earrings now unless I specifically need them to create an evening look.

[@woboznz]

Im from Auckland and have lived in the UK and Australia for the last 15 years...currently in Melbourne so dreaming of wearing something other than leggings and puffer right now lol! I feel like these tips are for a slightly reserved, constrained culture such as in Auckland, and overseas i find you can kinda just wear sequins during the day or a super cropped top under a coat, even over the age of 35 (shock horror) and it seems to be a freer experience, whereas in Akl it's more of an issue where people can often stare and there's an attitude of "who does she think she is, wearing sequins!". Thing with cost per wear is true I agree, only you have to remind yourself to just wear the things. Don't keep them for "special". I wore a great dress one summer on the Coromandel and my own Dad said "You're not in Saint Tropez". My response, "and??!" I'm on the side of less rules and more freedom of self expression. :)

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh yes i totally hear what you're saying about NZ culture. I'm from Sydney and totally appreciate what you're saying. My thoughts and choices in this video were more about reflecting the difficult times we are in and trying to help people make sensible fashion decisions. In my experience so many women own far more clothes than they actually wear because like you said most of us keep them for special - it's a hard habit to break. I'm all for freedom of expression too but I'm more tempered than ever about it in the current climate. Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I really appreciate it and it's always a good reminder to not cling to outdated "rules" :)

[@norahwarren8852]

Many of the crop tops and cut outs are worn best by women who are slim, fit and young. I'm 62 am fairly fit and slim but wouldn't wear either of those styles also I live in Manitoba, Canada, where temps can dip down to -50°Celsius in the winter. Cut outs will be mighty chilly here I reckon. But the head to toe puffer wear would be right up my alley😊 summer is just about done here, it usually snows by Halloween 😕 I'm with you on the rest of your thumbs down. Today I'm wearing a white v-neck tee tucked into a pair of charcoal cuffed trousers, white leather Adidas trainers, and a black moto jacket to keep some my work wear pieces relevant after retirement.... I'm not a fashion victim anymore at my age. I lean towards classic pieces with an edgy vibe. Love your style Leoni ❤❤❤

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Wow -50 I can’t even imagine that 🥶 I would definitely be wearing the biggest, warmest puffer jacket too if I was facing that kind of cold. In fact, I’d wear whatever it took to keep warm 😬 Thanks for sharing Norah and hopefully one day I can visit Canada 🇨🇦

[@carolegeddes998]

So true about those frigid temps. Manitobans have been wearing down-filled puffers, both long and short, for a long time and will continue....especially since real fur coats (though absolutely the warmest) are just not worn nowadays.

[@charlotteparadis4754]

As a fellow Canadian I couldn’t agree more! Some trends just don’t make sense for our climate. Or are perpetually trendy lol @@carolegeddes998 i beg to differ, I wear mine all the time 😁 (well, except during those 8 weeks we call summer haha) even high quality puffers don’t work for me - I just can’t bear the cold. Once you’ve tried a real fur that’s well designed for the cold (all fur coats are not made equal), nothing can compare! Plus they last a lifetime and more when you take good care of them.

[@depyxirouchakis8975]

I agree with all your choices here, the worst for me is the fluffy shoes.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I fell into the fluffy shoe trap once - never again!

[@charissaeden9604]

When I was in high school I nearly destroyed my earlobes because of statement earrings! Around 2010 or so, statement jewelry was huge. I finally realized what I was doing and started wearing more dainty pieces before my earlobes became too stretched.

[@DestinyFerreira29]

[@yeltzinolan4218]

Great video. Just about cropped tops and cut outs. Let's remember a lot of countries are not that close of the poles, so our weather isn't that cold even in winter and we are loving the trends that are not that warming cause it means we can feel on trend and don't suffocate while trying hahaha

I agree with all of these. I’ve never liked big earrings. They’re uncomfortable to me and I’m always afraid they’re going to get ripped out. 😬

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I also worry about them getting caught on something and ripped out!

[@gapeach51170]

I rarely agree with every point on a video like this ,but every one of these are spot on! Great video.

[@quorrakai]

Totally agree! Especially the midi skirts. I'm 5'3 and they look unflattering and frumpy. I'm knee length skirts all the way. Those puffy jackets are ridiculous! 😆 The one thing I can do year round is crop tops. I live in Arizona so it's warm all year. In winter, I can totally wear a light blazer and crop top underneath and be comfortable. Love your button down! 😎

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks so much Quorra!!

[@jenm9027]

I love the big earrings as long as everything else is VERY basic.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yep that makes sense!

[@sonyaj66]

I have to agree with you 100% on these trends to skip. The fluffy/furry shoes look like bedroom slippers, and will be ruined in short order if it's muddy or raining out. They will show dirt with regular wear and...how, exactly, would you clean them? The oversized knits - gah! I'm a knitter, and there is no more effective way to look like you are 20 lbs heavier than to put on an oversized sweater knit from huge yarn. Back when I was teaching classes on knitting sweaters, I'd always-always bring up this point. The only cropped clothing I'm into is cropped cardigans. I do love midi skirts, but I'm 5'7", and that's a look I can pull off, especially with proper footwear selection. I personally detest maxi skirts, and think they look frumpy and unstylish on everyone, regardless of whether they are in-style or not. I've worn them like 20 years ago, and later came to realize that I looked frumpy and unstylish (and older!) when wearing them, so that was the end of that. Anyway, it's always amusing to me that fashion videos such as yours generate so much "controversy" over an opinion. I have never understood why someone's sense of identity or self-worth is so tied up with what someone else - a stranger - thinks of clothes they like or don't like 🤷🏻‍♀️. Cheers, -Sonya

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I agree with you on the "controversy" angle Sonya. It does always surprise me when people come out swinging because they have a difference of opinion. If I don't like or agree with what someone says I just tend to move on or not watch them again - I'd never lash out. But hey it seems to be the world we now live in. The old adage: "If you have nothing nice to say . . . . don't say anything" seems to have fallen by the wayside. Oh well :)

[@relinhatropicana4237]

I love LOVE the supersized chunky knits and puffers but then, I’m on the taller side so that may be why. You also featured this fab giant print coat and I could picture myself growing into my 90’ in it, a la Iris Apfel! Agreed wholeheartedly with the rest of your list. Love from France :)

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh yes I do love the idea of following in Iris's footsteps - she's such an inspiration!

[@Billybloop]

Contrary to what people think I also think that structured oversized pieces can look great on plus size women. I'm on the chubbier side and like oversized pieces but not shapeless ones. I'm only 159cm tall.

[@SarahKotri]

Bang on again! I like your focus on style not trends and also cost per wear in this and other videos. I’ve wasted too much money in the past on looks that just didn’t last. Such a waste, and waste is also something the fashion industry really needs to work on.

[@denisadellinger4543]

I can' believe you all are still in lockdown. I agree totally with all these trends. Crops and cut outs in winter just don't make sense. If you put the oversized puffer on with it, it's a mess.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I’ll keep wearing my midi skirts, they do my skinny legs no disservice. I like all lengths, but am too old for minis. My favorite is just covering the kneecap, but I have too many longer ones to get them all hemmed. I’m planning to buy a serger to do this more quickly, because I wear a lot of skirts and dresses, but a conventional cut, folded, pressed, then stitched hem tales forever on fuller skirts.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

If you've got skinny legs then any length will look fab on you :)

[@hollysimone16]

Funnily enough, the fluffy footwear has been around and on trend in my circles (influencers, celebs, peers, etc) for at least a year now. It's definitely a young person thing and is maybe trickling upward into more "mature" fashion followers. (I am 22 btw, have been seeing these shoes for a while but I don't own any of them)

[@charlotteparadis4754]

Indeed, it’s been several years. Just think of those infamous Gucci mules… yeah, it’s nothing new! I do see more dressed up options though - I believe it’s fendi who did mink sandals not long ago.

[@riccisohn2176]

I think it’s always so fun to get to know peoples thoughts and opinions on fashion as it’s a complete personal interpretation. That’s the wonderful thing about the art of fashion. We can create our own world of joy by it. I think on a practical side all these recommendations make total sense. However, sometimes I find for me I like to break out of the box and experiment with new ideas on how to wear something. This is why trends are so great 😍 They create inspiration. So I have to say some of these trends I do love/ or rather am reincorporating back in my day to day for fall since they never left my closet - my big statement earrings, unique artistic pieces, or bold pieces - sequins included. These are the gems that make my practical pieces shine or exciting when I get ready each day 💗 and honestly give such happiness in my day even if I’m dressing for working from home lol!!🙃🤩

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I'm all for that Ricci! If anything gives happiness then it's a winner in my eyes :)

The fluffy slippers and the huge puffers are basically a way of walking around in your slippers with your comforter around your shoulders.

[@junebarber8459]

Great video. I totally agree with what you are saying about cost per wear. Being an oldie, we have to think about cost an awful lot. We generally don’t have the money to have such choice of clothes. Also, being older, in my case a lot older, we can’t waltz about in sequins during the daytime or we risk looking like some dotty old lady who has lost her marbles. When you get to a certain age, it’s advisable to pare your look down and stick to quality classics (a rule which can be followed at any age and you can afford to be more outrageous with accessories, which can be bought cheaper). I would consider wearing a sparkly camisole under a trouser suit for instance during the day but, anything more full on bling I would have to save for evenings. So it all boils down to an age thing really. Lovely young things can get away with a lot more than we can. I have two daughters of 30 plus who would be saying “Mother, you can’t go out dressed like that” if I was anywhere near over the top with my choices. Yes, it’s definitely an age thing!!!!!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes totally! Mood and occasion plays a big part in my mind :)

[@raganaregnbue6838]

Great video, Leonie! These dreadful skirts and earrings have been fashion pet peeves of mine for years. These skirts don't do anyhing flattering for any woman. If you have a fabulous figure they'll look less bad - like everything - but I don't know where to start. The pattern, the length, the cut... It all signals something like being an efficient, traditional housewife. I think earrings should have room to dangle and swing. So they should end a few centimetres above the shoulders. Slope core: I grew up in an alpine country where it's still common for children to be dressed in ski wear when there's snow. What I remember from my childhood is that those trousers rustle at every step, they are unbearably hot indoors, and they are extremely uncomfortable to take on and off. Don't get me started on using a bathroom when wearing them. Finally, the bold knit wear and pattern remind me of something I heard from a stylist on YT years ago and that has stuck with me ever since: Any outfit should enhance the beauty and personality of the person wearing it and not the other way round. Basically, you should see the person first, then the clothes. If you notice the outfit fist, it's wrong.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Ahhh yes I forgot about that rustling sound. i have a pair of cargo pants I was sent - I love them but they are so noisy I never reach for them! :)

[@emilyevans6989]

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I agree with most, except the following: 1. At 4’11” most crop tops and jackets hit me right at, or just below, the waistline of high-rise pants, so they are perfect on me, making my legs look longer!. 2. I live in a Colorado mountain town -with a ski resort- so ‘ski style’ is *always* a thing here. Very practical for the most bitterly cold days, but when I wear it, I most likely WILL be on my way to ski! I feel the same about midi skirts: either just below the knee, or at lower calf, *not* mid-calf! Mid-calf looks frumpy on me and, even though I’m thin, makes my legs look chunky and oddly bow-legged (which they aren’t). BTW…. We all want to know where we can find that beautiful button-down you’re wearing! 😍

[@Thestyleinsider.]

I totally agree with both of your points. Cropped pieces make SO much sense when you are petite and ski style also makes perfect sense when you live in ski country.

I understand perfectly what you point out here, Leonie! I agree. I know, everyone can wear whatever she/he likes, but sometimes we need to see it also from other perspective. Designers apparenty are trying too hard, nowadays. Going to extreme, it puts fashion more to laugh at than to admire or simply be comfortable.

[@cavelleardiel]

I have such skinny ankles and calves that a midi length looks strange. But they are definitely beautiful on the right person! I love seeing people in unique prints and I think it adds interest to their outfit and be used for long term

Thanks for sharing Cavelle :)

Great to see your gorgeous puppa x

Thank you :)

Hi Leonie! I appreciate your honest opinions about these trends. I’ve never considered that midi dresses or midi skirts fall on a part of the leg that is unflattering! I like the look but will be more careful with it in the future. I agree with you about the super oversized knits. I love the idea of it but I don’t think there comes a point where size can overpower an entire outfit. I really like the slipper shoe look! I’ve been holding back on investing in it because I keep thinking it wont last but I keep seeing every season! I do like the loud prints as it’s something different for the fall and I love the ski look! I understand why a head to toe look in it might be a bit much if you aren’t skiing but I fully plan on investing in some elements of this trend in the fall. As always thank you for the advice! P.S. I would love to watch your blogs! :)

[@dianes853]

I agree with some but have to say; "Wear what you want people. Life is short! " :)

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes I do agree with you Diane - at the end of the day I always preach that everyone should wear what they love and what makes them happy. My videos are really just a guide and hopefully thought starters. :)

[@dianes853]

@@Thestyleinsider. Your videos are great and I love that your doggie got in on the action. :)

[@Divinenubian]

I like this video and agree with your selections no fluffy footwear, big earrings are played out and definitely effects your earlibs I use to wear massive earrings in the 80s and 90s No super size knits or coats oversized is as far go. I don't like to feel sloppy in my clothes, Now I wear drop pearl earrings or smaller hoops. I love the tops you provide, great channel.

[@biancas.6283]

I agree with you about all these trends. And I love your dog😍

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww thank you! I love that he's been a bit of a hit today :)

[@janetwilliams7705]

Great review of trends. Thank you!

[@theartesana]

Really love your approach to style. You exude classical beauty. ❣️✨

[@litzaztil7932]

I agree with your tips here. Specially the ski wardrobe and chunky knitting sweaters. Too much !

[@terrianton3564]

You are spot on!❤️

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thank you Terri 👍🏼

[@jbar234]

Cropped tops are hit and miss with me because I am busty and have broad shoulders so sometimes I look like a linebacker in those pieces but I like the idea of them layered over longer pieces. Midi skirts look good on me if they are flowy and loose and worn with higher heeled shoes or boots, I have short legs. Agree about the sequins and oversized puffy coats, and really huge earrings, yikes 😳

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes the cropped tops are great for layering :)

[@banditasydemas6120]

LOVE ur dog!! So cute!!😍😘

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thank you 🥰

[@joannthompson4410]

Love your vertical striped shirt!!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks so much Jo Ann - it’s a goodie from LilySilk 👍🏼

[@marylhere]

So buying that 2XL hand knit men’s sweater (lovingly knitted by hand) will be all the rage this year. I love it because I can almost feel the loving hands that knitted it. And I feel it was a man. Well done sir, well done.

[@valoriegriego5212]

Howdy-ho Leonie!👋 I totally agree with you on the trends you shared. Many make no sense for everyday life! Love seeing your fur baby.🙂 He/she is totally enjoying mom having to stay stay home.🙂

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Aww thanks Valorie he’s a boy and yes I think he’s enjoying all the extra attention 🥰

[@ritubogar]

I definitely do not understand crop tops in autumn/winter and the problem with huge earrings is mostly that those stretch your ear loops, and it just looks horrible 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I totally love midi skirts ☺️😍

[@Cheree_Wright]

I think the fitted midi skirt looks nice. Especially if it has a little split in the back. I also love sequins. I think we should all still wear them, but obviously they can’t be worn as often as a basic. I love the crazy puffers too. Winter/fall should still be fun. I’m not a fan of the fluffy furry shoes, but fall/ winter is the best season to wear them

[@susieplus5]

Agree on all except for cropped tops. I'm 5'3 with a short torso. 😊 I also live in CA. It's still summer till November. Haha

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh wow! Lucky you with the weather and yes cropped tops make perfect sense when you are petite :)

[@jeanettekays1954]

Thank you for this. At 5 feet tall, puffer anything looks ridiculous. Midi skirts are iffy. Super sized anything, even earrings are not flattering.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yep sounds like you've got a great handle on your petite frame :)

[@peg59567]

Love crop sweaters, midi length ( it falls below the mid calf). Works for me at five feet tall with longer waist. Not interested in furry feet, too impractical and odd. Love big sweaters and blazers. I think it comes down to how you style something and how it makes you feel 😎

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Oh yes any skirt that falls above or below mid calf works for me too :)

[@liz-pz1ke]

I've been bullied and traumatized for being skinny, so super sized clothing is my savior

[@karenmickens1239]

Go vintage or thrift these trends if you want to try them, you'll save tons.😄 Great job as usual Leoni!👍😍

[@marshaphonda7057]

I absolutely agree with you!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks for watching Marsha :)

[@jamievaduva1708]

Just stumbled upon your channel. Enjoyed! I have to add though that crop tops make perfect sense with high rise jeans! Me being in my mid forties, I can pull of crop tops and sweaters with my highest rise jeans. :)

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Great point 👏🏼

[@marazampariolo3200]

Great advice, i agree

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thank you 😊

[@bethbounds2873]

For those of us that live on the west coast of Florida, cropped tops and jackets can be worn year round ! 😎

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Lucky!

[@chrissengemmill6024]

Mōrena, I agree on all but midi skirts, but I have "bird legs" so they actually look alright. Kia kaha!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Morena Chrissen - yes with "bird legs" you can wear anything - lucky :) Kia kaha to you too in these crazy times :)

[@carolynsanner8253]

Let our very northern U.S. states & the colder Canadian provinces enjoy the Slope Core! Very good lineup, Leonie. ☺️

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes of course - that makes perfect sense to me Carolyn - thanks for watching :)

[@giovannadedomenicis2149]

I 100% agree. I actually walk on the treadmill and think if I buy this how many ways can I wear it. I gave away, sold or donated clothes that are just a one look outfit. If I can't wear it at least 5 ways then it goes back or not worn and is a total loss. I am 5'4 and some of those things just drown on me. I spend so much money on things I should not have bought. I am learning. I know I know better but being sheltered away has not helped. Thank you so much you gorgeous you!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Thanks for your kindness Joanne and I agree being sheltered away definitely doesn't help. We are in lockdown again now and all I want to do is shop online - arrrggghhh! I'm resisting ... mostly!

[@giovannadedomenicis2149]

@@Thestyleinsider.you have amazing style. I like shopping on line it’s like a puzzle snd great learning process. There are literally no stores that stayed opened. Yuck lockdown again… well we probably headed back there. Stay healthy. Thank you for making style so fun! Hugs xoxo

[@RikkiSpanish]

Great suggestions! I agree with everything you mentioned, they're all very impractical(and in the case of cropped tops, they're so played out). I'm so glad to hear you love WhoWhatWear. That place is addictive! I can spend hours reading the articles on that site. You click on one title and it just leads you down a rabbit hole LOL!

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yesssss! I hear you - so addictive 😉

[@Cookie7294]

True about the earings. I have some that have been put aside as too heavy to wear.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yes some are way too heavy 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@midnightblue496]

Fashion by definition is trends so at the of the it’s about personal style I enjoyed the video

[@katb710]

I pretty much agree with all of these. Chunky knits are so cool but I always feel fat in them LOL. And statement artsy pieces are gorgeous but I've owned ones in the past that I definitely haven't worn very much.

[@Thestyleinsider.]

Yep I hear you :(
