Know it all ? Judge much ? Life’s a journey .. do what ever u want y’all

[@amandapowell1871]

Do you have information on the trench coat?

[@MitziYoung-qj7kz]

Thanks for your comments about leggings not being pants!! I get so tired of seeing women’s lady parts bc they think it’s okay to wear leggings without covering up. Please, people!! We don’t want to see your private parts!

[@rebeccartg]

Does anyone know where her heels are from in 9:38 ??

[@saraheliza4]

I agree with every single rule you mentioned! In fact, you confirmed pretty much every rule I’ve unknowingly implemented in my own wardrobe 😃

[@FoodieFitFarmhouse]

I kind of like the floral blazer better than the other! The gold and black seemed “old lady” to me, the floral one was a bit much for me personally but I try ink it could be cute with a black or white dress!

[@va1445]

I will hang my "worn but not dirty clothes" inside out so I know it has been worn once. If there is a spot I will even just spot clean them sometimes (cuz I'd have to pretreat anyway). If your body is clean, there is no need to wash clothes after a few hours of wear. I love the Sandwich Rule! It is funny how our brains love balance.

[@SheaWhitney]

Yes I totally agree with all of that! Great idea!!!

[@SteffitheMantis]

I do the inside out thing too. It definitely helps me keep my work pieces in better condition!

[@stephaniepruittpotter9052]

Me too!

[@g-yaya1305]

That’s a great idea 💡 Thanks 😊 I actually never thought of doing that when I re-hang the clothes I barely wear for a couple hours. 🫶🏼

[@trisharogers4342]

I totally agree with you. After I’ve worn something that I’ll wear again without washing, I hang it somewhere in my bedroom overnight to air out, then I put it in the closet

[@suzicq]

The Sandwich Rule. My best friend and I started doing this way back in high school, but we didn't call it that. We did it as part of a point system, if you had too many or not enough points for your outfit, you added, subtracted, or changed something.

[@deannakirk9032]

I'm not working right now & don't need nearly as many "office" clothes as in the past. When I went through my clothes to donate & thin out, I realized some had stains or residue from old deodorant. So! Now I have a system of putting clothes I will rewear to the left of a partition. When seasons change I'll wash before putting up so i don't have that happen again. I think I'm too OCD to have them hang inside out! Good idea but i don't think I could do it! 😅

[@maybemeganjane]

Love this. I do struggle with concealing “problem areas”. Even though you don’t have the same issues I do when I dress, it’s great to get insight on what you look for when dressing in a flattering way.

[@emilyherr6011]

I live in central Pennsylvania, people here aren't super fashionable in general. I LOVE this list of fashion mistakes, and I see many people making them, especially the last one about just because it's for sale in a store, does not mean it's in style!

[@tiffanyrice258]

I live in central pa also. Haha total agree 😊

[@cindykelly808]

Style is a personal choice. Fashion "mistakes"? According to whom ? I wear what makes me look and feel amazing. I watch these videos for information, then I DECIDE if it will /will not work in my wardrobe.

[@Jen39x]

Great job Shea as some of us can’t figure this stuff out ourselves. And keep fighting the legging fight

[@rachelcharlton2692]

Great tips!! I’m torn on the leggings. Like, I agree kinda but I also have a long torso so when I wear long tops that cover up my butt it makes my legs look fatter and stumpier; just throws off my proportions even more and doesn’t so me any favors.

[@lisacercone6736]

The leggings rule is golden in my book. I don't want to see anyone's lady business 😂 For work I have a habit of wearing oversized clothes to be conservative and comfortable.

[@free_as_a_bird]

Yes ma'am! I don't let my girls out in leggings unless the shirt covers their butt.

[@desertsun559]

I love ThredUp and I can't wait to try this new feature! That Zara dress is gorgeous 🖤

[@angelabraun4055]

I have been super happy with threadup. Great prices. The first outfit with purple skirt and boots is super cute on you!

[@bymariagil]

Try the flowery blazer wearing all white underneath ❤

[@marieschmidt9416]

YES! Leggings by themselves showing your rear end bumps (and jiggling cellulite) totally is awful looking. Looks like long underwear and they forgot to put on their pants.

[@Geraldine-pz7tb]

Valuable update, thanks, Shea ❤

[@YumeraChauque]

I desagree with the last point , you said dont use clothes out of the style but what i understand is dont buy clothes out of the trend because in this year the trend is classy but i agree for not buy old trends bcs just make people look old-fashion . In my opinion the best is buy clothes that suit your body and your propotions

[@mickyo7171]

Personally, the all loose outfit looked great to me.

[@notsorryyouretriggered]

The skirt&sweater fit was my favorite. Daphne from scooby doo vibes 💜 ps Shea, i’d love to hear your thoughts on “khy” I love that neon floral blazer. It is kind of ugly but also it works to me.

[@MarniMedia]

Re the "clown shoes," the chunkiness is the point - that's the literal vibe. For example, I'm 5'4" and a size 0, but I wear a size 9 shoe that also needs to be on the wider side. So I'll still wear chunky shoes with my giant feet, with the right outfit, if that's the vibe I'm going for. If it's not your thing, that's fine. But for all the women out there, just wear what you want. After all, these videos are extreme for click bait purposes, so at the end of the day, just consider them as entertainment and wear what you're comfortable in.

[@nadaalii86]

You’re too funny 😂

[@ayin.r317]

The BALENCIAGA bag 🙂🙂🙂

[@Lifewith21catsand2dogs]

And theres me over here sporting my sweats covered in cat hair😂

[@Carebear7170]

Me too girl!! Only it’s dog hair. 😂

[@janeandrews1790]

Instant tweed!

[@munajedski]

I laughed so hard at the dressy dress and parka combo. I probably did this in 6th grade. 🤣😂

[@KM-ws4kf]

Since you asked for our opinion about that blazer, my opinion is that it’s a great addition to your closet. Inside of your closet. On a hanger in the back. Facing the wall.😂

[@g-yaya1305]

😂 or she can donate it to the goodwill

[@rzuniga1649]

Both blazers 😂

[@barbwall3678]

Yes, not flattering @ all. Too oversized for her tiny frame.

[@tiffanyrice258]

This made me 😂.

[@SJL07]

Yes 🙌 I just don’t get the blazer trend. Maybe because I wore them in the 80’s and I think they’re too overwhelming and boxy. I’m also very feminine and don’t care for the look of the lapel. But if you can rock one, go for it!!!

[@AdelineDurie]

Can you do a video on "casual classics" that don't go out of style? Button down, trousers, blazers etc. are all examples of classics, but can you do a version of what normal people would actually wear on a daily casual basis?

[@drownzi]

what’s wrong with bermuda shorts? :( i can’t wear shorter shorts

[@janisstrohl5712]

Nothing! Wear them!! I do.

[@druidriley3163]

Nothing. I wear them.

[@katiecarlson6908]

Oh please don’t wear that floral blazer!

[@SheaWhitney]

Hahaha I definitely won't!!

[@luciafrau125]

7:14 love that you acknowledge that it's a non-issue for you but show some amazing photos of what you're trying to demonstrate . it really helps the bigger ladies looking for tips

[@13JLady]

The floral blazer is a no go, Shea. You're better than that. LOL! Said with love. It just seems very dated. The rest of the tips seemed very reasonable. Thanks for another great video!

[@free_as_a_bird]

I can't believe cold shoulder tops are still around. When they came in style I didn't buy one even though they were everywhere and hard to avoid bc I was sure they would only be 1 season. Those things are still going strong in many communities! (And I never bought 1 no matter how long the trend kept going. )

[@erinbartos2656]

I love the concealing weight mistake. My mother wore a coat (jacket) every single time she left the house. We live in Fl where its 85 degrees in Dec 🙄. I told her that it draws more attention to her weight. I always say "leggings are not pants" lol. Very few people can get away with wearing them as pants. I like them as long as the top is longer.

[@ceasarsaran8573]

Why aren't they pants? I realize those awful self ones are not, but typical running leggings seem like pants to me. I wear them with cropped things all the time. I dont get what's wrong with Bermuda shorts either. Maybe not those ugly ones.

[@missjoasia123]

I wear leggings as pants even to work , thick good quality bootcut ones because I need to be comfortable! They are pants, as long as the material is cotton and not shiny and they are thick good material

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

Bermuda shorts are never out of style ❤ I have a gorgeous pair of red Ralph Lauren Bermuda shorts that pair gorgeous with white sneakers and basically any top I have a pair of black Bermuda shorts that i love to wear with a vintage short sleeve blouse, pearls ands black flats.

[@mochiluvr6753]

I am here 6 months later and everyone is raving about bermuda shorts for summer. There are even some very dressy options in every fabric imaginable.

[@dashnja.9202]

I am totally team "Leggings are not pants"

[@wendoxia]

Thread up is OK for buying for selling. It totally sucks I’ve sent things that I’ve paid $200 for it in perfect condition and I get $1.35 back… It’s not great.

[@reneeburich9497]

Can’t tell you how many times I see leggings worn as pants and having everything totally visible. It doesn’t matter if you’re younger or have had a few decades of birthdays - it’s a “No”.

[@beatlemum]

Girl, I love your sense of humor! And as always, a fun & awesome vid! 😊🤘🏼🥂

[@gnd333]

This video was really helpful, i’ve been feeling so unstylish and it really affects your self esteem when you don’t feel confident in what you’re wearing

[@andreasmith1828]

This is definitely the place to visit when you feel like you’re in a rut. She’s my been go-to for updates and outfit ideas for years now. And she just has an overall great personality and consideration for her viewers that I have always appreciated ♥️

[@tamiewert808]

I don't overwash my clothing, especially fine knits or jeans!! I am not sweaty, so no issues with odors, etc. Hanging clothes outside in the breeze freshens garments up as well!

[@SheaWhitney]

Yes I totally agree!!!!

[@genwilson7741]

Where is the nice leather trench coat from? @@SheaWhitney

[@Spunky_Lass]

Also, I think the floral has potential. I share the “ugly” feeling, but I like how you have all black underneath, but I think if you pulled up the sleeves, put your hair up and paired it with like big green earrings it could be cute.

[@Lindie406]

Totally agree on #5!! It makes me sad when I see someone trying to completely hide their figure just because of weight. There are definitely ways to look good no matter what size you are! And dressing well can positively affect both the way you feel about yourself, as well as how people respond to you. Everyone deserves to feel good in their clothes! As a size 12, I’m so glad you brought up the clown feet because I don’t even like the typical UGGS. 😂

[@real_wtraveler4354]

Everything is spot on…except…for shorter women the “sandwich” rule is not my choice. I try to match my shoes to my pants. They don’t have to be perfect but, if the pants are dark, I wear dark shoes and if the pants are light I wear light shoes. Try not to cut off my legs prematurely 😊

[@mariagudino8067]

Yesss, the sandwhich method is great!! I love your style. I'm 48 and i always get the best tips from you. Thank you!!

[@susanrombak7959]

Thank you for the clever PSA today Shea! You are so right about getting in a rut by selecting jeans every day. I recently left my job as a teleworker and ever since I have more time and not in auto pilot I have upped my game by enjoying my wardrobe again! Wearing makeup, choosing a dress and slacks has elevated my style so much! I’m not saving my clothes for a special day. My spouse has even noticed and is loving the attention to looking great again.

[@ferbylima8869]

The UGG shoes will look horrible and clownish on ANYONE 😅😅😅😅

[@janisstrohl5712]

Yes, they do!! 🤡

[@Beeleeteecee]

The “leggings are not pants” rule needs to be made a PSA. It just makes me so uncomfortable to see people casually exposed like that. Not to mention that many leggings turn thin and see-through at some point. It’s really tmi 😳.

[@امالبراءفيصل]

I want to ask you something shea , is it good to put your bags on the shelf without putting them in their dust bags?! I want to do that but I’m afraid of leather damage which can happen in this case.

[@SuzyTurner]

I agree with you about the leggings. I much prefer to wear something bigger to cover the 'nether region' lol. Not sure I agree about that colourful jacket though...I love lots of colour and think the colours are pretty together!

[@karendobbs8153]

No, to the floral blazer. Florals, most of them, especially with the bigger floral patterns look old ladyish. Great video, and really good advice and style tips.

[@justinebarton2931]

I've got big feet. European size 42.5 and I love to wear big clumpy shoes. I think you should 'lean into' it. If I wear delicate dainty shoes it just looks ridiculous anyway!

[@druidriley3163]

Floral blazer you want to try? No. Half patterned blazer and half solid blazer? Unless you're wearing a contrasting color below, it's also a no. You were wearing it over black on black and the black half of the blazer disappeared and it looked on first glance like you were missing half your blazer. The tweed blazer? I would have worn a belt on the outside to give the blazer some shape and kept the sleeves down. Agree with the chunky shoes. Your feet have to be petite to pull off that look. Like Doc Martens. On women, it's cute on small feet. On larger feet, you might as well be wearing army boots. Wrong coat? Sometimes it's just too damned cold to worry about what your coat looks like. If you're running from your home to a car/taxi then you pull up in front of your destination, you can get away with fashion coats over practical coats. If you're going to be outside for any length of time walking or waiting or touring, pick the warm coat. It's hard to enjoy yourself if you're freezing. Bermuda shorts never go out of style. Some women have cellulite all the way almost to the knee. Nothing else will look flattering.

[@marieapplesgate5650]

The crazy colored blazer just doesn’t work for me. Too clownish.

[@SheaWhitney]

Yes I definitely agree!!

[@janeandrews1790]

A blazer in ONE of those saturated colors would be much better and more versatile.

[@gatrgurlfl3980]

Where I live camo never goes out and I love it!!😅😅

[@gamacaluso]

The sandwich rule is the best. There should be a sign at the grocery store “No women with leggings and short shirts” we don’t want to see you butt …. Just saying 😊

[@neverenoughshoes14]

So how does the sandwich rule work with colors? Just go light with light or dark with dark? Like dark purple top and darker shoes…?

[@crismore79]

I wouldn’t keep the floral blazer. I think a bold print like that would look better as a blouse or even skirt with a flattering cut. I think the oversized fit, shoulder pads, and the print is too much. I don’t think you’ll get enough use from it before you feel it looks dated.

[@nicolestewart]

It’s always a happy day when I see Shea 😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@crishansen4248]

What you said about leggings: 100 fact! ✌🏽

[@inktvis6453]

Hi Shea, all your clothes are fantastic on you.🌺👍☘️🌞

[@sherrizanoli1398]

My husband hangs everything back up, even if he has had it on for a week, then I have to go through the closet to find the dirty clothes.

[@crystalrowan]

LOL - yes, as someone with big (but narrow) feet I TOTALLY agree with the clown shoes. I hated the doc marten popularity when I was in high school because I couldn't wear them. They looked ridiculous on my big feet, lol.

[@premeyumlife443]

Thanks for sharing the sandwich rule my lady. 🙏🏼❤️😘😘😘Sandy

[@sonyapigg8548]

Great video! A. Garza needs to watch this….ESPECIALLY the part about leggings/workout clothes

[@jillzway8512]

I noticed you still have your Balenciaga handbag. What happened to throwing out the bag and not supporting a despicable brand??

[@lenad743]

Yes!!! I noticed the same thing!!!

[@DBat-sp1tp]

I don’t dry my clothes or my husband’s in the dryer. Our clothes look pristine because I don’t use the dryer. Even some of our underwear don’t go in the dryer. But I’m a firm believer of washing most of our clothes after we wear them unless it’s a pair of jeans or a sweater. Then we can wear a second time unless we wore all day.

[@staceysmith6655]

I agree with the leggings. Not sure why anyone wants to show all of that!

[@ashleys4652]

So many beauty and fashion influencers think the cool thing to wear in videos are leggings as pants. Leggings with a short top with everything hanging out. No. Leggings are NOT pants. Thanks Shea for saying it.

[@MiaHessMusic]

"Overly concealing weight." Thank you, Shea! I have way too many GFs who do this all the time. One just lost 30 pounds and she still wear baggy clothes. She is a size 8 or 10! Even when I was heavier I tried really hard to steeer clear of that one!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I agree, but what I actually see even more often is the opposite. If you're larger, wearing a size that's too small (or waaay too small) makes you not only look bigger, but uncomfortable and unkempt besides. It leaves people wondering things like if you have a mirror or whether they didn't have the outfit in your size. NOBODY wants to look at fabric stretched tightly over rolls or so small that your top won't meet your pants and it's not a crop top.

[@andrearichard1583]

I do this all the time too. I feel like a video for all body shapes will be great

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

Really fun video! I always enjoy you sharing your fashion finds. Many of my wardrobe favs are things you recommended! I love your fashion aesthetic - not all are for me but I still enjoy seeing the outfits and items you like. Hope you are well and have a blessed holiday season❤️

[@SlumberandBloom]

Girlfriend... applause for your bangin body in that tight purple skirt that I could never wear. You look amazing! 👏 👏 👏

[@janeandrews1790]

The blazer looks very 1980s. Too much. The colors are nice, but it looks like really loud furniture upholstery.

[@allgems6312]

That would be a hard “no” on the blazer at 8:37 😂

[@renferal5290]

I don't know how to be stylish, just comfortable. I also only wear things once, even though I know they aren't really dirty

[@SheaWhitney]

To each their own of course!!

[@justtubingby8342]

Stylish just means looking really good in what you're wearing. It does not mean following a trend.

[@cindykelly808]

I wear what makes me look and feel amazing. I don't follow style trends and fashion "rules". I enjoy fashion, and I watch these videos for information only. I don't subscribe to the many You Tube Channels telling women what to and not what to wear.

[@janeandrews1790]

Jumpsuits belong on toddlers. Adults look lazy and just left the house in their pajamas.

[@victorialove9104]

All good tips. I would add stylish classy women would never wear jeans with ripped out knees. Trashy not classy.

[@karenthomas4575]

Both blazers are horrid...sorry!

[@DesireeGonza]

You still have Balenciaga?

[@carrietwickler3157]

The blazers you asked about are a no

[@vanessaheinssen6162]

Where is that pretty dressier coat from? 😍

[@ryptoll4801]

A lot of these are good tips, some of which I've already been utilizing. Like I do the sandwhich method now that my body shape is closer to an hourglass. Before when I was distinctly pear-shaped, I would always wear light and loose clothes on my upper body and tight and dark on my lower body. But now I switch it up, confused as to how make my outfits look more balanced lol. I've always been very keen about color matching, but since I know a lot about color theory, I do it without thinking nowadays. I always wear my clothes until they get stinky or stained. I have designated boxes and chairs by my bed for used but not yet dirty clothes, which is usually 2 or 3 outfits that I cycle between until they're dirty. I actually only do laundry once a month, but that's also because I have really a lot of clothes and only myself to take care of. I also don't hide all my weight. Only really try to not emphasize my stomach. Because the rest of me is kinda evenly chubby, and I'm not very overweight anyway, so it doesn't really bother me. I wear clothes that fit my size. I do wear jeans most of the time, but on occasion I wear skirts, shorts and other kinds of pants, at least in the summer. The only thing I'd disagree about is wearing outdated stuff. If you do it deliberately, I think that's just a style statement. Trends always come and go, and people can have styles that are only sometimes trendy. Like for example I've always preferred bootcut jeans. But they come and go in trends. Sometimes they're considered out, other times in, I can never keep up because I just don't care. I don't wear them to look trendy, I wear them because they're flattering for my shape. Same with a lot of other stuff that I just so happen to like.

[@ChristieLoveNow]

Ahh, Shea, I love you. Being honest and open with the "clown shoes" and not apologizing for being thin (why should you!)...it's refreshing. : )

[@beckymccormic]

I do not own any kind of tennis shoes or uggs this is just me , in Europe they make fun women who wears tennis shoes they say only in America. I say wear what you feel good in! Everyone has their own style .

[@lisacercone6736]

I heard that before about sneakers. Do you wear dress shoes and boots? Curious. I only wear sneakers for comfort and running around but never when going out. I'm short, so I like heels😊

[@lorilopez5037]

I would fit in in Europe 🤭 Only wear sports shoes for working out.

[@diligentintelligence4564]

I loved that you were brave enough to actually name what NOT to wear.....I just KNOW someone's about to be hurt😂😂

[@debbieweber3076]

Thank you!!!! Great presentation. I appreciate you

[@uxuihld]

Thoughts on pinstripe pants? Loose leg, black pant w/ grey thin stripes, fabric is rayon/spandex. They are Calvin Klein. Do I keep in the closet near your floral blazer?

[@razz4878]

Being overly sexy 😂 I loved that tip, couldn't agree more. The older I get the less sexy I wanna look. When my breast got bigger after the pregnancy I just hated it. I like showing my shoulders but the cleavage cringes me out these days.

[@justinebarton2931]

But Bermuda shorts were back in fashion in 2023. But loose, tailored ones more like 'city shorts'. I wouldn't have called the ones you showed bermuda shorts. They were far too tight, like cut off narrow jeans. So I would say that the ones you showed are out of fashion.

[@VandaPietrantonio]

I like the rules. They are mostly proportion rules and common sense. I really dislike the wearing of leggings as pants.

[@diversebeauty370]

The coat at 10:20 in the video. I love it! Please link it if you can.

[@andrearichard1583]

Could you make a video about styling leggings for different occasions please. Love this video with different ideas

[@missjoasia123]

I’m experimenting with my own closet cuz it’s packed and I need to make like room so I can actually even look through my options cuz I just feel like I have nothing to wear when in reality I do I just think I don’t. I can’t be spending money on clothing anymore. I just need to wear what I have

[@redglitterx]

seriously? "food for thought" when talking about weight, there is like 100 other ways that could have been said

[@TheDebster44]

No…leggings are just a no! 😅 No hate and maybe in de US its acceptable, since sportswear is worn more commonly outside of the gym, but where I live you will mostly only see them at the gym (or on people who have given up 😂)

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

I'm short, short legged and short waisted and I can't pull off the very chunky sneakers either, even though my feet are small. The half printed blazer is not for me.

[@r.a.h1146]

That blazer (12:45) is either genius or what I’d call a delightful whoops. I’m always super drawn to that print but can’t pull it off because it’s so aging (yes, no difference whatsoever from the floral on me). But seriously, even if you told me this was a “didn’t have enough fabric” by-product or something….WINNER!!! It’s not only classy/edgy but is also a super inexpensive/resourceful way of getting around the whole “pattern doesn’t line up” seam thing. So they don’t have to waste fabric and end up with a FAAAAAR better looking product than the full pattern version. Win win!👏👏👏

[@sphart5302]

You're so cute, Shea. Thank you for your tips and tricks. Always helpful, always honest.

[@sunnydaze9644]

Thank you for your tips. Can you tell me the brand of black chunky boots you wore with your leggings? Super cute.

[@MichelleLeone66]

I always wear jeans too!! I do have skirts. I refuse to wear high waisted jeans or pants with pleats! I think you look great! I'm your size just wish I had a flatter stomach lol. Bermuda shorts 🤢🤢

[@denisefaust1290]

Lots of great advice. Funny too.
