I love the language you speak through your outfits. You never shy away from giving the gurls what we need.

Hey now. I just peeped you in VA's blog. I was like wait she looks familiar. Is that? Naw can't be. Yesssss and repping my hood. Then your video popped up in my feed. The algorithm gods are on point. Great video and article. ❤️

[@2shejack]

“This ole thang, this ain’t nothing!” 😉 😂 Thigh meat season is my fave season.

[@alphiaaugustin9162]

The elevated ,confident woman who does not forget the humble hometown.... that's why I love you and your channel... keep it up. I think your tips are doable and realistic. I have nothing to add.

[@pure_indulgence8144]

Great video! I’d love to see a dedicated video on fabrics. These days even luxury brands are using low end materials and charging ridiculous prices. It’s important for folks to understand where the value is at at every price point! Although your girl needs a little spandex in the mix 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

[@wjg-c4471]

Although I’ve got some years on you, your videos have me considering trashing a good portion of my wardrobe, and I say ‘wardrobe’ loosely 🤣!!! Great videos.

[@DomKBeauty]

The thigh meat skirt with the rope sandal hun-tea!!!! 🤍

[@kismetbridgeforth9131]

LOL Girl, that personality!!! "This old thing?" LOL

[@marsha2875]

It’s your personality for me. I am here for the vibes. I absolutely love your channel. I have learnt learnt how to better shop using fabrics.

[@tinalulumack378]

Thank you Tashira!! These and fashion inspos are my fave videos. Much love to you for always thinking about those of us on a budget who still want to be chic and stylish with affordable quality pieces! 😍🥰 Those outfits are 🔥🔥🔥

[@d.y.e3803]

I agree with fabric choice. For decades, I've been seriously picky when it comes to fabric. Plus, the fabric needs to hang correctly on the garment style. I spend time ironing in the warm weather season which is more than half of the year where I am from. But, I like my fabrics ironed, crisp, and breathable. I tend to go with 100% cotton, linen, cashmere, corduroy and flannel. And I don't put those items into the dryer. I let them dry on a hanger and then steam iron them. I do have some clothes that aren't totally natural types of fabrics like my Issey Miyake collection going back to the 80s and onward. But, most of my wardrobe consists of natural types of fabric. And I machine wash it all, including my 100% cashmere sweaters. I can't even remember when I last went to the cleaners. As for sunglasses, I have both high end and low end ones and they all have to have prescription lenses. And for the low end ones, it's Zeelool. They have some for $8.00 right now. And Zeelool will also add one's prescription lenses if necessary. Greetings from Los Angeles

😂😂@pilates in the front; cornbread in the back..I FELT THAT!! Guilty of watching this video twice as there were too many gems being dropped with the fashions to back it up! Great video!

[@karengoldsmith4936]

You are the funniest influencer EVER! My husband is gonna get sick of me saying 'it's thigh meat season'!!! Lol. And the fabric tips are everything. You confirmed I'm doing right by being picky about my fabrics. You're so good at this style thing!!! Keep going!

[@janwolfe17]

Thanks again for getting us together....🖤

[@lovelyleta]

This video is confirmation that I need to remove my 100% polyester pieces (although they are cute) from my wardrobe! Thank you! 💕

[@reneeloveatl]

Wonderful video with great tips! Thank you. I would consider ditching the rayon and viscose. Although naturally derived, harmful chemicals are used to process the fabric. We can’t escape all chemicals but can look for better alternatives….thanks again!

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

Fantastic vid loved it . I certainly will be keeping these tips in mind when I am shopping and planning my new finds . Thank you it is much appreciated

Brown is sturdy. It gives strength and confidence! I think!

Great Video. I love mixing a more expensive piece with a less expensive piece, especially sunglasses. Thanks so much!!!! I’ve never ordered anything from Lulus but I see they have some cute clothing.

[@maryburton9308]

Awesome information. Thanks for sharing..

[@alinatarkhanian]

Yet another fantastic video. A wealth of valuable tips. I had never considered Lulus but I will be checking it out, especially for coord sets. Thank you for always creating amazing content.

[@kathleenharris8824]

I think Ana Luisa jewelry is affordable and beautiful. I always learn something from you. I didn’t know that rayon is from naturally derived materials. You are definitely modeling some subtle show out-it-ness with elegance. I hope you will do a video for Fall 2022 on colors and styling.

[@teerose76]

Wonder if you have ever paired those orange shoes with that Dior bag behind you, that might be a fun contrast!

[@gabrielamarin1044]

Very nice video as always. Can you please tell me what is your opinion about oye bags in term of quality? On the site they look gorgeous, price point is more than reasonable and I consider is great to support some small businesses by purchasing their products. I am more a lancel and longchamps girl , but oye looks so interesting that I would give a try. Thank you and greeting from Luxembourg, Europe.

[@PoliticsFashion]

Their bags are impeccable. All hand made using recycled leather and other natural materials. You won’t be disappointed.

[@No2weeknotice]

Can you share your thoughts on the quality and durability of traditional leather vs vegan leather?

[@blktauna]

Vegan leather is usually plastic. Be careful of that.
