[@user-nn2ej1pe4x]

That's refreshing hearing from you. My son is 25. Debt free. We paid for his education in cash no loans. He already has a house that is paid for. Mostly because I had lupus and kidney disease and was afraid$ I was gonna leave him in this world alone. Guess what, I hear so much that he's spoiled. I got a new kidney Oct. 2. I am not rich. I'm a teacher. I bought basic adidas for $50 or $60 not Jordans. Now, he don't care about that stuff. Dont apologize because you had real parents. Thank God for that. I thank God. I bust my butt like your parents. More black parents need to do that.

[@Councils-Girl]

There are more of us out here… we did the same for our children! I didn’t want to see them struggle if God forbid because tomorrow isn’t promised for any of us! I learned how to pray and have a real relationship with God because I want my children to be blessed in every way. I am so glad that you received the blessing that you needed! I pray that you remain in good health! I love the Cookie Community that Carolyn has formed 😊 I read her comments and love that the women here are a positive tribe 😊🙏

[@Ccgemini]

Congratulations your spoiled child of please he has a education, a home, debt free and you did all this while you were sick. Mom you did that, period. I was spoiled with love, affection to be a decent person. I will check you but I’m not disrespectful because I was spoiled with Respect 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️. God even blessed me to be spoiled with a good husband 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️who spoils me with All the Love and Respect 🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️🙅🏾‍♀️

[@alexisagginie4574]

Congratulations, MOM! You did wonderfully! Get well and feel good. Happy New Year to you and your son. God Bless!

[@A5jer]

Wishing you all the best health & prayers- my mum is also a Lupus warrior 🫶🏾

[@honeyisnatural5]

I read this comment before I watched the whole video. It hurt my feelings cause I didn’t have none of that. I’m like are bragging? But we need to hear more of this. Because this has to be the goal for all of us. It’s a beautiful thing. More of us black fokes will get there. One day at a time. I love this.

[@breezluize3282]

First time viewer here. You are BEYOND witty, insightful, funny, gorgeous, realistic, knowledgeable and practical. What a gift to have found you!

[@whosaidthatimari4915]

Your humor is so good Love ur personality glad u have one. I like how your teaching us about the fashion hunty😂

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Hi!!!! Thank you so much!! You know I have to share whats on my heart with yall! #virgo

[@renatawilliamson9500]

Thank you girl great advice. I’m planning on wearing everything in my closet I have with tags on it that’s been sitting there waiting for a special occasion. I work from home so it makes it a little hard but I guess every time I need to go to Costco I need to get dressed up.

[@Wernerwoman1]

Same! - I agree that working from home makes it a tad bit more difficult.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Is there a way to step out and work from a cafe or a co-working space ? But yes COSTCO can eat up the looks you serve! LOL

[@BlckbeautyBarbi3]

I have the same problem

[@Li-Amor]

I work from home too during lock down I made sure I wore the heck out of everything in my closet. Grocery shopping , dressed up while I was home and taking out the trash . 😂

[@meandxui.6239]

I stay getting dressed up for the Airport, because you never know who would saunter on by and boom your life is upgraded 😂. Also, yes sequins for everyday wear!!!

[@karenmickens1239]

Gotta ❤ our smart black queens. We older style queens truly appreciate you. Thank you!❤❤❤

[@deidrabenson361]

Happy 2024 Cookies! Great video Carolyn, I really enjoyed it! I’m 75 years young and I must say, you passed out some great advice and wisdom young lady! Keep up the good work, looking forward to watching your videos in 2024!❤️❤️❤️

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Happy New Year to you too my dear! and thank you for watching my videos and giving me feedback. I screenshot your comment and sent it to my dad because I felt like I got a stamp of approval

[@honeyisnatural5]

The 2nd half was honest lessons I needed to hear. Learning to be “your best self” takes effort for some ppl. (Me) when everything we see and hear is designed to bring out our insecurities. 1. I’ve pocket watched but I don’t actually ask or comment to the person. But just the thought, yes Leaving the behind in 2024 2. Also leaving behind being fake to ppl I don’t need in my space anyway. 3 Leaving behind filling dead air with all my story’s and crap no one needs to hear from me. It’s my business keep it to myself. 4. Sticking to a beauty regiment schedule so I’m always ready. Don’t gotta get ready. 5. Speaking of being the best version of me, going to wash my hair right now. Thanks for everything!❤

[@lew1056]

I heard you say it in another video and I really took it to heart about wearing my things! I have unapologetically stepped into work everyday since the holidays in a different coat bc I have a closet full and I need to wear my shit 😂

[@Li-Amor]

I’m a coat girl too. Of late been living in my extra long length coats got 3 major ones that’s been in rotation that I absolutely love and short tailored dresses been wearing them confidently. Life’s too short to save them for days that might never happen

[@celestedean5827]

Carolyn are you a pastor in disguise???? This is the perfect mix a sermon and fashion talk!!! Yessss I’m here for it!!!

[@trindingtopic]

#1!!! I stopped wearing statement pieces because I always felt like I could only wear them once / for special occasions. One of my 2024 goals is to get back into wearing some color / statement pieces. Love this video

[@soniamills]

I have finally had a moment to watch this video in all its entirety. I laughed out loud so many times!😂 I loved the no sweats part, wear what you buy immediately, be patient with your purchases, pocket watchers 😂. Being ‘still’ is what i try and practice everyday. This was a great video C! Loved it. ❤

[@netty06]

Loving the red lip CG!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Why thank you my Donut! LOL

[@Ms.B.Warren]

Great video! I too am an FIT alumna. I can't tell you how excited I am to have found a content creator who can actually talk the talk because she has walked the garment district as well as the design and retail floors!!! Keep up the good work!💃🏾

[@SLSanders1]

I’m not even half-way through your video and ONCE AGAIN I’m thinking “she validates everything I’ve been thinking for a couple of years now!” Listen, my background is HR and organizational leadership so I am no one to professionally consult on fashion but Carolyn, I know what speaks to me and most of it has no restrictions!! I’m mixing metals, wearing sequin with different textures, and I’m not saving ish for a special occasion!!😂oh yes, Stacey is showing some legs this summer. Walking shorts? Not over here😂

[@amandafogel3611]

I love this video!!!

[@rodneybrown9580]

I came across your video you are too adorable and very entertaining I just about agree with everything you said. Happy New Year to as well and will be watching for new videos!

[@sensto]

Welcome back Queen Cookie!! You touched on so many points here it was like a mini-therapy session and not just retail either. That fake-meet-up ish irks my spirit, and I no longer allow people to play with my time and energy on any level. Here's to a restful, balanced and blessed 2024 🥂

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

here here!! yes!!! Thank you for watching !!

[@MightyMcOwnage]

I just found your channel. I have no idea what's happening in fashion so I appreciate hearing from someone with a background in this stuff! I'll just get my cowboy boots on sale, haha. All the wisdom was amazing too. Sometimes we need to affirm self-respect and it helps when the people around us say it. Happy 2024!!

[@BlckbeautyBarbi3]

This was great advise

[@MiMisFashionvintage]

New Subbie!! I'm glad I stumbled on this vid!! Algorythim is doing its job!!! Just wanted to say you are one funny Lady!!! Love the list!! I will take it all in! I'm also a Virgo and getting rid of negative energy "friends" has been my go-to since hitting 40! I can't do it anymore; even if I'm standing on an island all alone I will be alright! 💜

[@MsTee-eg8qi]

Yeesss, you got a new cookie! Subscribed! May 31:39 Blessings to you, sis. 🙏🏾❤️

[@stevehiley8369]

Thank you for this video. You had me laughing from the beginning to the end. Fashion served with comedy. I love it!

[@cocoariche]

This was such a fun video. I’m glad I stumbled on it 😊 It felt like talking about fashion with a friend over brunch cocktails 🍹 Love that!

[@Shanycole]

Hello! I needed to hear some of this. Especially the part about not wearing your stuff right away. I have so many luxury pieces I’ve had for years and have never worn. I’m about to bring them out! 💜

[@cindyhoyt5909]

❤ 5 minutes into your video and I already subscribed. Can't wait to see all that you share and happy New Year!

[@cindyhoyt5909]

Your extensive resume ; is reflected by your impeccable style. I am impressed.

[@celestedean5827]

I am here to listen to the fashion empress period!!! Yesss give me the knowledge!!!👂🏼🤣🤣🥰😘

[@NikkiYourTallBestie]

I absolutely love everything you stated especially about the pocket watching!!!! I also just love your vibe in general and if I were in NYC I would be on the first thing smoking for a coffee date or just to hang out with you! I’m certain your parents are so proud of you!! Xoxo Nikki 💋

[@diahannsmith2335]

Happy New Years Cookies! I thoroughly enjoyed EVERY sentiment you shared . All REAL TALK that if many instituted sooner we would have not wasted time and meaningful moments. I LOVE your fashion mantras, come through WEAR your statement pieces

[@lorettawilliams5262]

Love this mindset!! You put into words what I’ve been feeling!!!!! I’ve been saying “this is MY Cinderella year”

[@cynthiaqualls4628]

Such good advice, I certainly plan on wearing my things and not saving them. I also need to compare cites before purchasing and not buying right away.

[@britt_taylor]

Yes 👏🏽credentials 👏🏽 New subscriber. Loving the content.

[@MaryDavisBrown]

So glad that you are back!!! Haven’t watched the video yet , but you know you ALWAYS get a thumbs up from me💕💕💕

Miss Ma’am! Everything you’ve mentioned has resonated with me. Thank you for sharing your wisdom & laughs! Blessings!!😊

[@Rellylee]

I’m a new subscriber and I must say I truly enjoy your content ! One comment I have is about the Barbie pink 😅 as someone who genuinely loves pink and was wearing Barbie pink way before the movie hype, I will not be giving her up 🤭🎀 thank you for making me giggle and for giving us gems mentally and physically 💖

[@nicholenaomi1]

Come on red lip!!! Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉

[@HelloKitty94610]

Wow. This is my first time seeing you and your content and I am blown away! I felt like I was kiki’n with one of my sistah girls. You are funny as hell and a straight shooter. I didn’t appreciate being called out about my bummy sweats, matching shoes/handbags, and my inability to mix metals however. 😂 You’re inspiring, if I do nothing in 2024, I will absolutely wear all the clothes that still have tags in my closet! New subscriber for sure! 👋🏾

[@TamaraNekola]

I loved every bit of this video…you put a whole new twist (morally and sensibly) to what’s in and what’s out 😂. I can relate so much! I do love seeing those micro mini skirts though…although I don’t own any lol…it’s a vibe. And your parents were so good to you…that’s what it’s about. If I were a mom I would treat my child the same way…the world is hard enough so children need financial and physical, emotional support…not just the basics. They would be so proud of you up here cutting up and spreading some wisdom with us! That spoilage did you good! Thanks for prepping me for 2024 in all things fashion! Hugs!

[@Danabw3242]

I love all of this! I learned so much 😄 I'd love to see when you reference your own examples of participating in the trend, cus your style is amazing!

[@jadeshad8368]

🗣”And so what if he did, I am the queen”😁😁 Yesss

[@user-ze2jo1go8j]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YOU! Daughter I am 70 years young and I LOVED EVERYTHING YOU SAID. Especially, the life lessons and POCKET WATCHERS! Thank you, love your honesty, creativity and WISDOM. I will be watching more often. Love ya ❤

[@EmeEeGeeGee]

I knew you were a fellow Virgo I agreed so much with the hanging out with a person discussion.

[@Lcyerra]
