[@morgansmith752]

Umm... Am I the only one who didn't know she was 31 years old? Girlll you look great!

[@ICookieCountess]

Yeah, but of course she looks great, 31 isn't old 👀

[@morgansmith752]

Karlica I know it’s not, I just thought she was in her 20s 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Juwlz]

@@ICookieCountess I love you for saying 31 isn't old 😊 I'm carries age and feel super down about it sometimes which I know is ridiculous and people are always telling me I don't look my age but eh

[@courtneymorris5935]

@@Juwlz I know what you mean. I'm a year younger than her and whenever I see all of the (well-intentioned) comments saying they can't believe she's 31 and that she looks so good for her age I'm like huh? Since when is 31 old? How do people expect people in their 3o's to look?😆

[@yuruaninava6446]

WHHAAAATTTTTT??? I ran into this comment before the video finished lmao

[@kenziekarysa6395]

Your 31??! I literally thought you were like 22- 24😂

[@kassidybuck472]

GIRL PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! I love this so much. You could do this with thrifted outfits too!

[@ByRyanne]

yes!!! i totally agree!!!

[@CarrieDayton]

That’s on my list!!! 💕💕💕

[@miss_m_yt]

Yes more please!!$

[@Laura-mq8gs]

Yes please ! Gives me outfit inspiration for my own closet 🙂

[@amethyst4990]

I have body dysmorphia and I am in recovery from a eating disorder. Your videos help me SOO much! Seeing you rock your outfits looking cute and not stressing over the size on a label is inspiring. Thank you gurl for spreading positivity and self love 👩❤🙏

[@LyssRyann]

You’re the cutiest little cutie pants!!! 💕

[@LyssRyann]

Okay we need you in that last outfit in Laguna RN! 🌸🌸🌸 freakin CUTE!

[@shelbysteip8801]

Agreed!

[@Emilybenford]

Girl said “high top converse” and grabbed her low tops

[@CarrieDayton]

HAHAHA I meant platform I’m so dumb

[@samq3910]

Thank you for normalizing cellulite. I find with a lot of mid size or plus size style bloggers I follow that they edit it out or hide it any way they can. It's been so hard for me to wear shorts or skirts because I'm SO SELF CONSCIOUS about it. Thanks to people like you that show the reality of having normal ass body traits, I'm planning to rock these gams the way they are this summer!

[@hannahmelton5446]

Yes!! I have it bad on my legs and when looking for "inspo" I feel like shit because even when i was super skinny, unhealthy, underweight, I STILL HAD CELLULITE! I love that Carrie gives is herself at face value, nothing hidden away.

[@bighiu-tofanchris717]

Mine looks awful.

[@sascha7163]

@@hannahmelton5446 Same same, when I was really underweight I still had visible cellulite on my butt, the back of my thighs and even my upperarms. Now that I'm on a healthy weight it is obviously still (even more visibly) there but I'm trying to own it and love it!

[@breatheinpoetry]

I had a girl make a status about me in highschool saying I had cottage cheese legs and a lot of my “friends” commented laughing about it... that was so hard for me because I didn’t know that I had cellulite at the time but now everyone has it and I realize that one person should have never mad me feel bad about something completely normal

[@vaughn2277]

Yess! Everybody deserves to feel good about their bodies. Personally, I don't have any cellulite, but my legs are very goose-bumpy and I have a lot of eczema, so I understand being afraid to wear shorts and stuff.

[@ashboo28]

If you don't post a photo on your IG of you in that denim and plaid look, you're doing yourself a disservice, you look so dang cute in it!

[@riabouchinska]

Agree... I love it on her but I totally relate to the "I wish I was wearing pants" thing lol

[@Poppy90866]

R J just think they might be talking about the other plaid and denim look!

[@riabouchinska]

@@Poppy90866 oh lol I am so not operating on 100% brain power today... anyway they both look p. cute

R J hehe all good took me a minute too!

[@129stardog]

You are the girl every girl growing up needs to see. You are amazing and help out so many people see that they can look good as hell at any size.

[@alyssapagano3057]

I genuinely don’t think I can tell you how much these videos mean to me. Being a size 12 has always been such a strange in-between size and i’ve always had such a problem realizing what my body looks like, because i’ve only ever seen plus size girls or straight size models, and to see someone with almost the exact same body type as me, wearing crop tops and trendy clothes and looking like a literal babe is so incredible. Like I feel like I can finally recognize what my body and body type looks like because of your videos

[@leah5844]

Whenever I'm feeling down about my body image, Carrie's videos immediately change my mood for the better.

[@annabelcranston3618]

Leah you’re beautiful 💖

[@meganpeoro3454]

You will probably never see this comment but I just want to say that your videos have helped me through another relapse with Anorexia. Thank you for creating such great content.

Looooovvvvveeee the flannel pants look. Clever idea on your part to flip the insta inspo

I'm just so happy Alexa turned me on to your channel. It's so fucking refreshing to see a REAL girl that looks just like me ! love you carrie! love your videos and personality (:

[@andreealauraganea1956]

You would look amazing at any size really and in any outfit

[@breneebc]

I absolutely loved this video! I am currently a size 16 and I am trying to get back down to a size 12. I was perfectly happy and content with my body when I was that size so for right now that is my goal. I think your body is stunning and I am happy you are rocking it.

[@gfa4267]

Carrie! Long time subscriber here. Just going back and watching your old stuff. You should sooo do a vol 2 to this! Pleaseee.

[@Leslie-ch4dw]

Yep I'm definitely pulling that last look at the beach this weekend. Thank you for the inspiration! I will try to be confident with my body!

[@alexasunshine83]

YOU GORGEOUS BABE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@taylorr7106]

Hi Alexa👋👋

[@notkaitlyn5368]

Love that you are so body positive. You are a wonderful role model. It saddens me to see other girls who tell everyone to love themselves yet they get tons of surgeries. I am pro surgery but I’m not pro “send mixed signals to younger girls “. Love you. Keep doing you.

[@laurenlafever5932]

OMG I WAS YOUR 300,000 subscriber, sorry it was very satisfying😂

[@layoverwithlo]

you deserve 1 million followers!!!!!!!!

[@sophie915]

that all black outfit is EVERYTHING

[@Callidoravampira]

I want to develop my own style but I’m so insecure and feel like I can’t wear what I want to. It’s not even because of my body anymore (im a size medium/large in pants and a size small/medium in shirts) but because my face and hair isn’t good enough and I just look stupid when I try to dress up nice. Everyone in instagram photos has such beautiful faces and perfect hair and if I try to take inspiration from their style, I just see myself and i just feel stupid..does anyone have bad face insecurities? I feel like no one really talks about it.

[@kathleennicole3891]

Callie Shmallie I’m sure you will look bomb in anything. Don’t be so hard on your self

[@ma_kenz]

I’ve seen that gingham dress on you in both this video & your Boohoo haul video, and it accentuates your figure really well either way, but I really like it with a belt at the waist (even if not exactly that belt). Super cute!

[@destineyrosa7609]

Omg Sierra schz just did a video but with famous history photos. Y’all really need to collab! Pleaseeeee

[@grimgrinningghosts2242]

Your wish came true!!

[@gapeach51170]

I thought you did a great job. !!! And you looked beautiful in each outfit! I just turned 49 and I used to worry about "dressing too young" for my age ...but in the last year I have decided "F it" ...I am going to wear what I love!

[@TheLaralarouge]

Thank you for normalising cellulite. I haven’t worn shorts for several years because I’m too ashamed and embarrassed of the cellulite on my legs. I hope to get to a place where I’m confident and comfortable enough with my body to buy a pair of shorts again.

[@TheDecontracte]

But.. I actually really liked your lennonstella recreation?????

[@LK-sv7ty]

You’d actually be plus size if you lived in Europe because America’s clothes are 2 sizes smaller so if you buy stuff off pretty little thing or boohoo or a European site you can shop in the plus size section and get really nice stuff for yourself if you find it hard to shop

[@MikaylaGreenwood]

I enjoyed this video so so much! You're killing it Carrie! ❤️

[@katelinjenkins3463]

Girl!!! Yessssss to the statement about wearing what ever in your 30s 🙌❤️

[@pimpgerbilmouse]

"31 - ass - year - old" was my favorite part haha. Great video!

[@yadidameng]

"31 ass year old" lmao, hail yeah. I like you a lot 👍

[@sillystupidpastime]

Love the plaid pants and denim jacket on you!

[@alethiaeden]

She’s 31 years old?? I thought she was 21 tops! She is so beautiful

[@MaddiSims]

Carrie id love to see you talk about confidence with stretch marks! Ya girl needs a nice chat about that

[@jessdial]

Omg maybe it’s just me but I could never put my shoes on my bed like that 😭

[@aideefranco8402]

You inspire. As an “average size” I have always hated my body shape. Never skinny enough and never curvy enough... And I love to see someone midsize looking so freaking beautiful... you inspire me to enjoy my body and rock my style 🌟❤️

I don’t get how you do not have at least like a million subs, your video’s and personality are so fun 🤩💞

Just discovered your channel. Coming from Sierra. Seriously enjoy your videos! Keep it real gurl!

[@onceuponamelody]

My favorite part of this video is when you apologise to your plant. 😂 But I love the one you copied from Lennon, if the plaid shirt was only an inch or two longer I'd totally wear it!

[@sierrabocchetti6687]

Your videos are so refreshing, I find myself scrolling on Instagram comparing myself to other woman! But seeing how body confident you are really makes me love my body! ❤️

It makes me SO mad when my girl friends say they can't wear a certain style because they're too big. I'm like, "Does in come in your size, sis? YES? Then fucking wear it!" ASDHJKJDK

[@ForeignMiss]

okay girl, but you nailed those poses you were trying to copy. like for real, ya looked cute in those poses and now I need those swimming suit bottoms #kaythanks

[@ellebee511]

I’ve watched your videos off & on but never really paid much attention I guess, I always assumed you were a smaller girl maybe around a size 2-4. I didn’t realize you’re a size 12 until I saw your Walmart jeans video pop up in my recommended. Not that it makes a difference at all, I just think it’s interesting. It’s cool to see how dressing for your body type can really enhance your features & make you appear smaller.

[@noodle2891]

Okay I know this is such a small thing, but as a size 12 girl, I clicked on this video in fear that my self consciousness would be validated. But i feel so good about myself rn. You are so beautiful, and you’re so confident and kind. You’re making me realize that I can be beautiful at the same size and that makes me so happy. Thank you for this.

I just want you to know that this video gave me so much confidence! I am 14 and also a size 12 and I have always felt like I can't wear what I want to but this video has changed that and I wanted to thank you! You are amazing Carrie!💓

[@laurenmackey4518]

FUCK YEAH LOVE THIS VID!!!!! I just went to Primark (I'm in the UK atm) and last time I went a few weeks ago I only tried on size 12 (which is a US size 8), because that's usually what I am back home, and none of them even remotely fit lol. And then I was too bummed out that day to try on any more in a larger size. Today I went and only tried on size 14 (US size 10) and they all fit like a glove!! I was so happy they fit but also kinda upset because that number seems so big for me (14, not 10). I was talking to my roommate about them and she said that she had to go up to a US size 4 there when she was normally a 0 so that made me feel much better. But also I just kept thinking to myself about you and your videos and how I can be happy in pants that make me look fine as fuck, even if they are bigger. Love u bitch u such a fuckin inspiration

About the "messy" look, I think that if you wore jeans and French tucked one side of the shirt, it would look phenomenal on you. I think it gives off a fun, artsy, festival kinda of vibe :) you're so pretty!!!

[@alena7085]

Hey gurl, love your channel 💜 do you have a problem with your thighs rubbing against each other and then giving you a rash and hurting af?? I always get that when I don't wear "grandma-stylish-short-pants" underneath 🙄 if you have it what do you do about it?

Wait I'm confused, size 12 is midsized? I thought 12 was where plus sized starts. Shouldn't mid sized be a six?

[@ToriBissell]

I absolutely love this video. Sometimes I struggle with creating variety with my clothes - like I wear the same thing over and over again. This gave me some inspiration for how to mix it up so that my pieces go a bit further.

[@alinenanete]

I felt good watching this video. My size went up and I've been feeling not so good, cause I'm on that grey area where what I have just doesn't fit me anymore, and I need to start trying bigger sizes... Your video inspired me to give the next step! You're gorgeous!

Pleaseeee try size 12 in H&M with Sierra or even alone 💕

[@veertjeeeeh]

I would love to see you in a more androgynes look!!! Don't know if I spelled that right. Anyway feel like a lot of girls without curves get away with that and I'm really curious how you would dress💜

[@ginahaug6896]

I really liked this video. I get a little angry towards trendy accounts on Instagram because their trends are for girls with tiny boobs, but u rocked all those outfits! I never even thought to try them. I also am conflicted wether or not it looks like I'm trying to be young again when I wear trendy things, but again you rocked these :-)
