HOW TO DRESS AND AVERAGE-PROPORTIONED BODY TO LOOK MORE FEMININE

[@Tunenine]

Exactly why you have my full respect. First I want to thank you for showing your body presentable and respecting your partner by not skipping around in a bikini. For me too many KZbinrs have lost their way just to get a dollar, your body move was highly appreciated by me. Second I was always teased that I had a "boy body shape" because my hips and shoulders are equal but my husband reminded me by telling me "you're not hippy but you have a round poke-out butt". I never understood why my dad called me 'high pockets" as a kid, it was because of my butt. Now as an adult, I know how to fake some curves and look very feminine. It's good when you see your husband sneaking peeps at you and smiling. I have mirrored many of your items rather the same or close to it and let me tell you I'm highly confident nowadays and confidence always draws smiles and positivity.

Honestly Alicia, you’re right, you don’t need all of those “assets” to look good. As a RN, I try to tell people to be happy with what they were blessed with. There are soooo many people with terminal illnesses and/or the inability to walk or stand without pain, that would gladly trade your healthy, beautiful body for theirs! Unfortunately, that’s the reality for many. So enjoy and be grateful for your healthy body, regardless of its shape, that’s still able to serve you as it should! Thanks for reminding us of this, especially in a world that focuses so much on what society deems as acceptable when it comes to our bodies!♥️

[@zxe5ju]

Amen! Well said!

[@emiliaescobar7652]

So True, she looks FAB in all the outfits!!!!!

[@mariamarbo4501]

I just love you so much you're so down-to-earth. I know how it is about dressing. I just lost forty pounds and I don't know how to dress anymore i'm learning from you❤

[@HerVibesDivine]

"We are living in BBL times"....lmaoo!!! You ain't lying!

[@shannaholmes833]

That’s crazy!!! I was born this way and I’m leaving this way lol

[@Vincentianbeauty]

Hi Alicia 61 & plus size thank you for this video as I started my get healthy journey June 2020 and graduated from walking with a limp/stick , recovering from stroke, DVT to now jogging 3 x per week, it has taken me to get to this stage in my life to appreciate the body that I have. Perfect timing for me thank you from the UK

[@karibbeanqueen9598]

Thank you for being transparent and brave!

[@kristallindsey4195]

I am the same build as you, Alisha. I haven’t been body shamed, but I am and have always been self conscious. I always struggle when trying to figure out what to wear! 🤦🏾Thank you for doing this video. It helped me out a lot! 😘

[@lynnelhampton-bott6917]

You’re absolutely right about tucking in a shirt and belting. I was always reluctant to do that but it does give you shape.

[@ladyBloom.]

The thing people(mostly cousins when I was little) teased me about are my knock knees. It’s the reason I wear maxi and mid Length skirts and dresses. Thank you for addressing this topic and encouraging us to love are bodies. 😌💕

[@nw3556JA]

I commented on your IG i was so happy someone with a smaller hip area was a fashion influencer I could relate to. I had hope you weren't offended now I can see you probably weren't. This series is soooo helpful. As a black woman sometimes our people want you to make you feel some type of way because you don't have a tiny waist and you aren't pulling a wagon lol. I too am a girly girl and love color and accessories and I love this channel

[@dotlee]

Love this video… but no correction needed we are definitely living in BBL times ( I live in the metro Atlanta area) no shade but they’re everywhere

[@SheIsFearfullyWonderfullyMade]

In a world where everyone (including me) has cosmetic surgery, you are so brave to put your ✨beautiful✨ self unaltered unfiltered on this video. You have an inverted triangle, there’s so many KZbinrs whose entire channel is how to dress your body type. BUT at the end of day, wear what you want (as I know you already do)🥰

[@mackhoney886]

Sis stop you're beautiful in everything you wear. Peace and blessings

[@Maremare680]

Honey, you’re not funny shaped. You’re an inverted triangle like many women in the world and there’s nothing funny about it. You’re an inspiration for many women who want to look good on their clothes, including me.❤

[@kimberlya9785]

Love you sm for this Alisha! Lemme gas you up some more and tell you that your confidence, light, beauty and inner glow permeates everything about you. Forget shape. Im just here for you!!😘😘

[@Tenayshious]

I’m so glad you did this video. I’ve always been self conscious of my “T-body” as I call it😂. But I love your style and I get a lot of inspiration from your looks. Please continue to share your wonderful content ❤

[@alamedadanceparty]

Thank you for such great, helpful, practical advice. You're so REAL like no one else, being sure to mention that we need to think about undergarments, etc. You're like the big sister we all need. ✨

[@kymwallis5311]

Alisha, you are a delight to watch and you seem to have a bottomless pit of wonderful advice. Your videos are so refreshing and entertaining. I am one of your subscibers over 60 and just love the way that you include all ages!! Thank you my lovely for everthing you do😍 Kym, Edinburgh, Scotland

[@MrsCrandon]

Appreciate the tips u looked great in those outfits

[@chinny50]

Hello. When I was coming up. Your figure was what most girls wanted. I always thought your body shape was what you wanted to work toward. I am over 6ft and very curvy. Most clothes are hard for me to find in my size. Great job as always! Love your style!

[@franettesparks9949]

Just subscribed, love from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️ 💕

[@laraveal6968]

I love that you put your body out there! Your confidence is beautiful. I do have a straighter boxier body type as well and love to disguise it with high waisted faux leather leggings, a long crop top so just a sliver of skin is showing and a blazer to cover my non existent backside lol.

[@myrtlecarter9067]

You have a wonderful personality with a wonderful body shape. Thanks for sharing and helping us (me) feel comfortable in my own body type.❤️❤️❤️

[@carlaives7756]

Thank you SO MUCH for this, Alicia!!!! My classically curvy T&A grownass daughter keeps telling me I'm built like Sponge Bob, a rectangle on chicken legs. She's not totally wrong, but. . . I'm also super short which is a major problem. I think my fave outfit today was the gray striped shirtdress with the gray moto jacket and boots. LOVE IT!!!! I could do that if I could find a short enough dress. And I heartily agree that shirt dresses and wrap dresses are the way to go!!!!

[@2LuvMe55]

OMG thank you for this video. I am 54 years old and the have the Exact same body type. I just love your style and videos. I buy a lot of the items you show in your videos.

[@SIMARSONG]

Love the pep talk and the inspiration! You are always looking cute and confident.

[@ronnie-lynn]

I gained 60 pounds and my body type is now boxy and I appreciate this video sooooo much, as I have only been this shape for 2 years and I’ve been struggling trying to find ways to flatter it! ❤

[@demonicastar]

I myself am a rectangle when I was heavier I always say I was looking like one of those dorm room mini fridge because to top it all off I am very short 😅 but when I'm slim, I tend to look athletic, and I really love it, these tips are fashion gold. The thing I love about shirt dresses and shift dresses is that they may not enhance anything, but the way they skim your figure is so flattering, and let's face it, sometimes you just want to look cute but comfortable.

[@sharondawilliams7707]

I’m LOVING the direction of your channel. Such an informative video!!👍🏾

[@yudellachirino1216]

Thanks for the styling tips....Greeting from Aruba

[@tiffanymoody620]

[@monie2514]

[@Hfg904]

Girl thank you for sharing this amazing video! I have struggled for a while to dress my body type without looking like a linebacker ~ I like dressing feminine with a masculine twist.......without looking masculine and still femme 💗 I appreciate you and your channel ~ it really helps me 👍🏾 And I love your channel and your style! Peace and Blessings ~ Love and Light! 🥰🦋🌻😁❤️

[@symrahchristopher9738]

You are so classy sis. Although I am plus size I get so much inspiration from watching your content. Keep sharing with me and I’ll keep on watching.

[@ThePracticalIntuitive]

Thank you so much for this video. 🙂 💜

[@dianenazario3769]

Hello Alicia i agree that all women's are not shape the same whether a women is skinny or healthy Body . i agree with you on it's the way a women style's clothing to fit her body. we are all beautiful in our own way. we can look sexy without showing to much of our intimate parts of our body. I enjoy all your video's and thank you for all the great style and tips you have given me a women on her 50's you are alway's looking great because everything you buy you wear it well.until next video. God Bless.

[@msdiva2847]

Although my body shape is different, I can still learn some styling tips. What a boring world it would be if we all looked the same. I loved all of the looks and wear them all! Thanks for being genuinely you and spreading positive light! If anyone tells you your shape is funny, tell them God doesn't make any mistakes!😘

[@sherriew36]

Alica, you are absolutely gorgeous (Your crib is too! )Thank you for helping us visualize how we can enhance our style based on our body type. Your advice is practical and you always get the assignment!!!

[@dorsieschmitz7697]

Thank you so very much for this, I have this same shape. I was teased in High School and by so called friends who also had nasty comments. I am 63 and have embraced my boy body, I dress ok I can do better so thanks for the upgrades! Thank you for sharing your family they are so beautiful.

[@donyelldancey4793]

This by far the best video yet!! I love the transparency!!! I stumbled across your videos and have been binge watching every since!! I am going to NOLA for the Essence Festival and really need your opinion on Dresses. I love maxi, sheath dresses. PLEASE HELP!! You are fabulous!!

[@nicolmonique6575]

Loved the idea of this video. I'm sure you encouraged a lot of women with this!

[@oxbell1210]

Yassss girl….I’m here for it!!!

[@rochellegirl]

[@sjb9573]

This was such a helpful video! Thanks so much for your openess and general loveliness. Big kisses for you xxx

[@pretty4one33]

Girl you are JUST EVERYTHING.🥰 Thank you for sharing this and complimenting alot of what some of us see as flaws is actually just as beautiful and it's all in how you dress and carry yourself.

[@controlmyownlife8902]

Thank you so much for doing this video. I have basically given up on fashion. I stopped wearing jeans and I become depressed every time I go shopping.

[@fameatabryant1041]

You have a beautiful shape body any man would be proud to be with you ☺️

[@Purple-ws9fn]

My belly starts really low. I feel like it's no way to hide it if i tuck in my shirt. But I like the half tuck. Or I wear the shirt as a cardigan open. Thanks for Great inspiration!

[@specialk8927]

I feel like I have a top and bottom belly

[@heatherpurcell1933]

You look fantastic in all of these outfits! I especially love the H&M striped wrap dress.

[@ashleywashington83]

Okay 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you for sharing all those wonderful tips!!!

[@OhhNaturel]

Love it! Beautiful no bbl required 💃🏾

[@veladahall6140]

Alicia, you're always an inspiration for those who get stuck in their closet and may not know how to put simple outfits together. It's always a great idea to stand and just look at yourself and love yourself! Everything will fall into place. I love your transparency!❤️❤️❤️ A

[@sircharlesmormont9300]

I'm loving your videos! I have a question, though: how do you get your teeth looking so white and bright on a budget? Do you have a whitening brand or routine that you recommend? I'm a fan of tea and, sadly, that is starting to show!

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

I love these tips on putting together what looks great on us. Thank you. Amen

[@dynomitenash8970]

Alicia, you DO look great in everything! I've commented before that your best features to me are your legs and smile.

[@purdiec1013]

Loved this vid. ROTF with the comment “living in BBL times”. I’m all for self enhancement and I’m also for those of us that want to enjoy our bodies as they have naturally developed. Thank you for making me smile (again) and enhancing my styling knowledge. Can’t wait to see what you suggest for those of us that have a belly that makes us look like we are seven months pregnant! ❤

[@paulareid1713]

So very helpful!! Thanks Ms Alicia🤎

[@LAinBK]

Thanks for this video. We are similar in size and share plus I love your style and personality.

[@Mona-lq7up]

Yassssssssssssssssssssss! Let's normalize body positivity yes God sis. Love youuuuuuuuu!

[@charlye6380]

Girl you look great, yes there are people who really wish they could be your shape. Thanks for sharing this, yes, I definitely didn't know how to dress my then plus size body type, but now girl, I have more confidence and feel better just wearing a smaller size.

Great tips...can you do one for lower belly issues

[@TMB62]

This is an excellent video. I hope you're able to add other body types. Hopefully using some friends or family members.

[@shortsan]

👋, I just found your channel & I'm so happy with your video/ style. New subbie!!!!

[@candiblue9280]

I guess I am average too because I am big on top and little legs at the bottom so I was trying to match up the top with the bottom so that it won’t look funny. These are some great tips for me. Tfs❤❤❤

[@Shaudreya]

Hey Girlfriend! I'm a new subscriber, but I've watched more than a few of your videos. Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks on dressing our body type I found them very useful. Also in watching some of your other videos I saw your zebra print boots and was inspired to go buy me a pair. I found these very nice Jeffrey Campbell ones, but now I'm having a hard time styling them. Would you mind doing a 10 ways to wear it for them?

[@Ms.B.Warren]

OMG! I too purchased a pair of zebra print boots after seeing Ms. Alisha wear them. They are my absolute favorite fun fashion piece! At first I was timid in my styling. But then one day I decided I was going to try those boots on with every outfit before making a footwear selection for my OOTD. Admittedly some finished looks were better than others. Some even made me laugh out loud😅But All Were Fun!!! My all time favorite unintentionally fab look is a black turtleneck, black moto jkt, OD camouflage joggers with my zebra print boots. 😘

[@amandashine5246]

Thank you for this video 🥹♥️

[@jennifernurse5963]

Thank you for giving me all the confidence that I need. Like you, I have similar body type and size. Yes it's told to me always.

[@workinprogress2477]

When covid hit and we all had to stay put all I did was be "influenced" lol. I thought I had to have the pretty society body and it started a negativity image on myself. But now, I've been learning and appreciating my body more and more. Thank you for being transparent and making this video, you're inspiring ❤️

[@joygreatt]

Nice tips thanks for sharing

Great tips. Work with you got.

I tip my Hat to you Sis! You are BEAUTIFUL as you are and how God has made you. You always look AMAZING to me. Today you look like a BEAUTIFUL Brown Pocahontas. Me personally, I am embarrassed to show this shape of mine to anyone. But I do the best I can for my shape.

[@vonnieb7411]

[@monicamercadel5405]

Thank you for the look ideas. I consider myself the same body type.

[@johannac7755]

That 1st outfit is on fire! 🔥 I love it!

[@alwayskrazy]

I love your content because it’s actually helpful! I’m a size 4 with a square-ish build. The only curve I have is boobs but other than that I’m up and down. The ideas you gave to still make the body look feminine and put together are wonderful tips! I will add that I have been lifting and doing back exercises and that has increased the width of my shoulder this making my waist appear smaller. So we can do a little something despite our natural genetics

[@LyricalLioness]

I am quite short and sadly, I can relate to people feeling free to comment (negatively) on my “body type”. Most of us have a physical feature that sets us apart from others, there really is no need to address that, unless you are asked to do so. I think of my Mother (and others) who often said, if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. You are unique and special, keep being you 🌟

[@wendyNJ13]

Thank you so much for this video

I love your styles..❤ and self love and acceptance is all that. Your styles help a lot of people. 👍🏼

[@Neoladinas274]

Alicia I love your style. Even though I am much older and in my sixties I believe we have the same body type. I can wear sizes 10 to 14 also it depends on how the clothes is made. Watching you is how I dress myself. May God continue to bless you and have wonderful day.

[@kittyhazes5741]

As I told you yesterday in the structure, I love your show. It was so funny when you said “ bowling”. Girl you looked awesome in everything !
