FASHION REGRETS | MOST UNUSED | HOW TO DO BETTER

[@shervondavid6882]

I am a return queen. If it gets to the house and I don’t have the urge to use it the same day or the next day” RETURN”

[@VBoo459]

That’s a REALLY good mentality. Tbf I bought a lot of clothes for the summer…I love in the U.K., we get 2 weeks of summer smh and then summer comes around and it’s been 6 months and I still haven’t worn the thing.

[@AO-bo4qq]

That red lip is DIVINE!!! Thank you for the content as always.

[@khandiesjourney]

Love that Givenchy bag! That is an everyday bag. I would go to bed with that bag

[@queencandaceisawake1813]

Hi Carolyn I love those jeans with the train. I have an idea for the train to keep it clean. Have your tailor create a bustle so that you can let the train down as needed.

[@Danabw607]

You should resell things and make room in your closet! I’m sure your followers would snatch them up! And then you can have space for stuff you really love!

[@zzzzzzz7zzzzzzz7]

Dye the dresses black!

[@chadbandk1978]

You were in your comedy bag with this one Cookie Queen lol

[@CheapLuxeAF]

GURRR…you betta put some Pilates socks (grip socks) on with those paw mules and rock them through the winter! 🥰💅🏾🤗

[@GenevaAnderson-m5o]

Try a felted pad in your high-heel shoe to stop your foot from sliding forward.

[@leilariley936]

I so often buy items,I know damn,well for certain ::it ain't gonna happen ...THIS ALWAYS ,ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I'M HURTING I'm by no means rich;just spent YEARS HURTING !!My purchases carried me threw some tough times! A psychologist once told me to DO WHATEVER MAKES ME HAPPY ,AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ILLEGAL OR HURT ANYONE!!So sorry to be so DARK Carolyn...life as we know it!!!Love you baby girl;never knew your maaaan,was so tall!!!LIVE YOUR LIFE !!😊☺

[@melaniesmith1928]

Hey Cookie! For the dresses, try 'winterizing' them. Throough a chunky sweater, hoodie, sweatshirt or cardigan over them, in the colors you like. Add leggings underneath for heat and tall boots!

[@RamonaAlgarin-27]

Not the filing of toe nails against the pavement 😂😂😂😂

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

LOLOL I know you pictured it in your head when I said! we've all been there LOL

[@kudzaishemucheka3755]

You wear grey and silver so well Carolyn❤

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Thank you! I love those colors alot! Gray is becoming a power color for me!

[@mamad5686]

I love a person with wit who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Subscribed!

[@stephf4175]

Just love the transparency here! Been there done this, myself at times. Le sigh... Polish color (lip) is fire, btw!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

we live and we learn and sometimes we do it again ! LOLOL thank you for watching

[@maried.9642]

The nightingale givenchy is STILL everything! BTW- your nails look GORGEOUS !💅

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Oh thank you, I went natural with the nails for a few weeks but I will be going back to get designs on them this weekend. Im excited lolol

[@Chidera.m]

I LOVE this red lip on you! I think my favourite item is probably the embellished jacket!

[@brittneyk0158]

You’re GORGEOUS as usual! 🥰 Loving the setup! Looks like you’re in an art gallery! 😊

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

ohhh thank you!! Im working on this little book and it's coming along, little by little. Thank you for noticing :)

[@hillerycrawford1062]

Dye the boho dresses

[@anikaevanson6578]

Take your sunnies to an eye doctors or lenscrafters. They can adjust the part that goes around your ears to make them more comfortable. That's what I do with mine, and it works every time!

[@Jennyetienne53]

The train jeans are awesome but my issue is also that!!

[@wonderfullypassionate2283]

I want those JPG pants so bad. I just going to make them. lol. That last jacket is so beautiful

[@GwendolynSolanke]

I loved your boho look. I did my own version. I did a boho style wrap dress with boots and a moto jacket!

[@JNicole9]

That's how I would style it too!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Yes! that's more my style!

[@HelloKitty94610]

Giiirl, part with that Givenchy! I will love it and wear it daily and proudly! 😁

[@chadbandk1978]

I'm a fan of the paw mules too, I can't wait to see how you style them again❤

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I wish they had a little back strap so I could do a sock with it and not be afraid of it slipping off my foot, so we will pause them until spring time. :/

[@a.e.valdez]

I love the embellished black jacket! It's a beautiful piece that could be dressed up or down. 💛

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I know :( and I will give it justice and wear it more!

[@dr-k1667]

Carolyn your red lip in this video is FIRE!!

[@etrelyadesigns]

Favorite sport, favorite workout - lol! No apologies needed, ever!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

EXACTAMUNDO!!!

[@judieannozine]

I love the nightingale so much. But I’m an elementary school librarian so lusting after your videos is my guilty pleasure!!!

[@tarolepettigrew7795]

Givenchy Nightingale purse❤

[@RauliKarlmats]

I had my heart set on a YSL Hobo but this has changed my opinion and I am now sure this is my next Cassandra purchase kislux

[@TheBrownFaceBE]

Funny that I’m watching this today (I like to save vids for Sunday relaxing…lol) I just put up a vid about the sheer Boho dress trend and mentioned that you were one of the people that propelled me to buy it. It’s not typically my aesthetic but I saw a vid or reel of yours where you tucked one side into a pair of jeans and was fascinated. I’m not a dark color girl so I opted for a blue from H&M. I was able to find a couple ways to rock it but now, will I buy another, probably not 😂

[@LeFKay]

I love those paw mules

[@shervondavid6882]

Love the transparency❤️. Now I have to go through my closet and I know there is plenty I have not used.

[@denisegraves2966]

I'm also appreciative of your transparency !!!

[@dr-k1667]

The black jacket at the end is AMAZING!! I hope you USE it because you are so CREATIVE and would make so many great looks. If you don't want the other purchases... maybe they could be used for content and others could rent them from you or you can just sell them and call it a learning experience.

[@chadbandk1978]

*gasp* not the statement jeans! 😱I was about to have a pair made, but I absolutely understand why they aren't an everyday item to wear.

[@GwendolynSolanke]

@chadbandk1978 I want make my own pair..lol,

[@maried.9642]

Agree, I was like NOT THOSE!! 😢They're so dope!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

But you know they have another pair that has a skirt on the front that's also really chic, I linked it in my description just in case anyone wanted to see.

[@NN-dream2b]

Chicaaaaa! Love your sleek look, from the top of your sleek head to your sleek mani! Nailed it!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Oh ! thank you so much!!

[@nayakiabates8814]

This is such a great video. I think a lot of us go through this, you know I’ve gotten a little better with buying high end or expensive items and then not using them as much as I may be initially thought that I would. A great tip that I found to get around this surprisingly enough is if I see a really nice item that I want I’ll go and try to find a dupe not a knock off a dupe and see if I really enjoy that item and if it’s actually worth me pulling the trigger, so just something to think about thanks again for this great video happy holidays

[@TheFashManChannel]

I just added these JPG jeans to my wishlist because of you! You influenced me!

[@JDforthewin812]

Lol! I think we lie to OURSELVES saying we saved money buying something on sale, when the reality is if it ain’t groceries or other necessities we could’ve not bought it and saved more money

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

... dont mind me if I continue to lie to myself then LOL

[@JDforthewin812]

@ 😂😂😂

[@hillerycrawford1062]

The nightingale bag is amazing, but if you don't wear it, let it go. You got a couple bags earlier this year that you wore regularly. I'm trying to do better with identifying what I appreciate versus what I'll wear.

[@Saki--75]

@@hillerycrawford1062 ooh! This is a really good distinction. I'm gonna use that! Thanks, fellow Cookie!

[@MaryDavisBrown]

Yay! What a pleasant surprise to see another video ❤

[@nancij85]

I took your advice and made a list earlier this year of what I needed and didn’t need to buy and I will say it helped curb my impulse buying a lot!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I AM SO HAPPY YOU DID THAT!! It makes a difference! I know there will be times we fly off the hinge with shopping depending the season or what we are going through in life but having a list is like having a little voice in your head telling you "aht aht, put that down" lolol

[@denitaharrison9322]

JPG jeans and Bottega boots love it 💕all of them

[@shontemartinez7826]

You make a track suit look good. ❤❤❤ The Bottega shades 10/10 and the Givenchy bag were my favorites. You have some hidden gems. Bring them to the front and style them.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Ohwhy thank you my dear! I love a good track suit lololol! I know right! I started to put everything in my sight so I can be motivated to use them.

[@caswte]

Your fashion week outfits were my favorite out of everyone....those jeans 😮 and those bv brown boots❤

[@sharonmcdaniel6321]

Hey, Queen Cookie. Of course, I loved the video and your exploration of least worn items and your strategies as you move forward. I have a few least worn gems, too. 😊😊😊I will adopt your idea and move some pieces to the front to “ be seen!” Thank you for you.❤❤❤

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Hiiiii!!! thank you so much for watching !! and I could only imagine what kind of gems you have hiding in your wardrobe!! And yes I think putting the items towards the front and mixing them with items that aren't so expected can help us use our pieces more!

[@sharonmcdaniel6321]

@ Yep! I am going to do it. ❤️ Periodically, maybe doing a quarterly check-in with us might keep us all on track.🤣🤣🤣I also made my 2025 Wish List. The goal is to stay focused on the Wish List! 🤔🤔

[@GwendolynSolanke]

Girl, i love love that look with the jeans. That demin look is only to be worn for an event. I get what you're saying about when you wear it. 😮 1200.00 dollar's!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I know, Im mad at the money I spent too. sometimes Im really good with fashion budgeting and sometimes I JUST GO OFF A CLIFF WITH IT! I committed to the artistry lololol

[@MyGabbayTx]

To be fair, I see you all the time on Pinterest in the JPG Jean gown. So calculate the media impressions as another value 😂

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Im not mad at this Girl Mathing at all.... I see those too. I want to know who posted my pic on there LOLOL

[@cynthiaqualls4628]

Thanks Carolyn I really enjoyed this video. I need to make a list as well a regret, a no buy and a wish list for next year.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I will make a video for mine to help give more guidance on how to build one out. So stay tuned my dear, thanks for watching this one.

[@nefertaribennett6702]

Omg beautiful lip combo! Can you share? ☺️

[@GwendolynSolanke]

I need to do a list! I need to replace things in my closet! Dress pants and sweaters. I have to buy better quality sweaters. I need to replace my dress pants because there old. The list is a good idea.

[@jaimescott5181]

Lov the jpg jeans. But I also understand your concerns.

[@istyleliz]

The red 👄 lipstick 💄 looks good on you.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Thank you so much! It does make me feel powerful

[@laviliburd]

18:27 the light green Mango dress is beautiful on you. Too bad it's not your style. Because if you could find a way... gorgeous!!!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I really thought it would work... but you know what. im about to swap my winter wardrobe in and maybe I can find something to pair with it in that selection that can make it a bit more edgy.

[@kathleenharris8824]

I have a pre loved Burberry bag that I haven’t used yet. It needs to be cleaned up. I heard that Magic Eraser can help.

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

Great vid love totally. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿😍😍😍🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

[@beautifuldaughterofzion7776]

I absolutely love love LOVE the Jean Paul Gaultier denim train jeans most definitely art! I NEEDS’em! Also love JW Anderson Paw shoes! Give those pieces some justice! The video….👍🏽’s up for me!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I did tag them in my description a long with a style from the same brand that has a more realistic approach and ability to wear more often.

[@beautifuldaughterofzion7776]

@ Thanks SoO much. I’ll definitely check’em out and let you know how and when I pull off the fabulousness of the Queen Cookie’s Style Guide 👑🍪💄💅

[@ThaSweetHart]

14 wears out of a pre loved bag in one year??? Idk, sister. Sounds like you got your cost per wear out of that bag.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

lolol you're being nice on me, I feel like that's not enough though! I wanted it so bad and look at me now with it.

[@drahaman]

Well let them unsubscribe. You don't want them anyway. I just subscribed!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Well welcome Cookie!! and I thank you for being here!

[@cameophillips]

Great video!

[@missapril1618]

Those JPG jeans are fire!!🔥🔥 But I would've never purchased them I can't stand filth and I live in New York as well. Beautiful item terrible purchase!!!

[@fashionwithoutlabels]

Chile those first pair of shoes look “costumey”…..like a big foot impression with a heel 😂. Enjoyed this type of video…thx for posting

[@JNicole9]

I bought the paw mules but they didn't fit my big ole feets. I'm going to try for the men's flat pair.

[@angelal396]

👄 AHHmazing!!!!!

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

😂😂😂 It's my best sports too.. Women were born to shop, and ine Pastor says that's why we're BUY-PRODUCTS... nice one, Cookie😅

[@PoshwithPurpose]

8:47 😍🥰😍😍

[@vetpig1454]

Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed the video. Re: the Jimmy Choos, did you try the little inserts you can put in to prevent your feet from slipping forward?

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Thank you for watching! and no I havent tried that yet because I felt like it stretch-out on the sides way too much, but I will try it before I totally give up on it to see if that helps

[@BarbadosGovernmentInformationS]

@@ITSCAROLYNGRAY That makes sense. Hope it works out👍🏽

[@GwendolynSolanke]

I want the bottega sunglasses. I want the blue tent. I am waiting and hoping they go on sale...lol.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

Also keep your eye out for them on cettire.

[@Allthingscheri]

So can you just do a closet sale? I like those sunglasses and the Givenchy bag - come on I’ll buy em! 🥰 You know when you did the Vid about the no buys list and the needs list that really helped me when I put it in effect! 😅

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

When I do my closet swap for the season (im so delayed on that project) I will see how many things I could put up for sale and most likely will share it on my stories on instagram so make sure you are following me over there and keep an eye out. I have a feeling it's only going to be a few things.

[@carlenemcdonald9625]

I thought the same when I saw those jeans with the train. All I kept thinking about all the ish it was dragging thru!

[@GwendolynSolanke]

Girl, i am a shoe girl, too. I love all your shoes. I really want the Tabby boot, but i can't justify paying the money for the boot!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I would say to wait for it to go on sale! Keep your eye out on Yoox, or SSense, or even Saks.com! They always seem to end up on sale in those places!

[@aishashabazz553]

Cookie redesign the train on the pants, hem the back of the train up so it doesn't drag the streets, take the legs up so you can see your fancy boot or shoes. REDESIGN COOKIE.

[@BCollins]

cookie, if you ever want to get rid of the nightingale please find me. Ive been obsessed since you first shared and cant find her😅

[@nigeriaashana]

Girl can I have those chiffon dresses lol I’ll pay you!

[@lisajayne4425]

I ❤ your sense of style and choice of shoes, but your heels give me anxiety 😂...you're a brave young lady out in those NYC streets!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

LOL I give myself anxiety too! that's why I said I dont trust my ankles as much as I used to!

[@lynnmazalewski2766]

Throw those first shoes out they make ur foot look like paws. And keep the last jacket she's fine sister!! But then what do I know I'm going be 82 in Feb and my fashion has been more important to me then my blood type. I'm going rock a pair of black sequence boots I bought tears of joy for them, I've been watching and liking you and heard the word baby come up u don't need to spent what u spend child. U got the eyes for what's good so raine it in! I believe in ur political views too, go girl in 2025,ps like Carlos.

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

LOL Mam! I love my little paw shoes ahahaha , but I know they can be striking ! and what a beauty of life to see the age of 81 and while also being Fabulous !! thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel. I wish I could see those boots you cried tears of joy for, they sound very special.

[@lynnmazalewski2766]

Theyed stop YOU for a moment and $25. Thank u so much for ur reply gave me joy after election day much needed❤

[@lynnmazalewski2766]

Oh had to add 2 things uncomment of beauty of a life will stay with me always cause it says what it was and is. And this for U at ur age I thought fashion was frivolous until realized thru alife time it was one of the few things that kept me going when it got tough and most important puts a smile on this 80ish girls face. That ain't frivolous ❤

[@christiandejesus8287]

Yo should sell them!! You will get a good price for them, and someone else may love them more.

[@keishacox3735]

Wear those jeans with a tee and keep it moving, it would be fabulous

[@nicolegari]

CoooooooMe Ooooooon RED💄💋

[@lavenderreign9655]

Foot pads could help with the slipping. It would be good to at least try that first before giving up such beautiful shoes.

[@JosiasNewYork]

Miu Miu releasing a $25k jacket that looks like that TopShop jacket lol

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I am not surprised, their prices are so intense !

[@SDP6666]

If you really feel like you aren't going to use the items - you should have a closet sale and bless someone else that might use it.

[@travelingthediaspora7996]

Sell those items and buy stock instead. Make your money work as hard as you do.

[@209tami]

You need a shoe pad so your feet don’t slip!

[@ITSCAROLYNGRAY]

I will try that method. Thank you! wish me luck

[@vikkiwilson1928]

Honestly, I only liked the outfit you were wearing. Expensive and unpractical outfits are just a waste of money. You should definitely get in to returning the items that hurt your body parts. lol.

[@aliciayarbrough4500]

I really love your Givenchy Nightingale. I think you truly got your cost per wear out of it. 💞🫶🏽
