These 5 Style Tips and Pieces Are The Most Controversial- Here’s Why We Stand Behind Them!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Did any of these resonate with you? Did I change your mind about any of them? Will you try some of the tips? If so, Let us know in the comments below 👇 Are there other tips or pieces that we love that you hate? Let us know...maybe we will do a part 2! xo

[@nicole9105]

I have a tummy and a rather flat bottom, and I always feel like the half tuck just highlights both of those things. I want to love the half tuck, it looks great on other people, but I just don’t like it for me.

[@pilaraguilar1201]

I love everything you mentioned lol but didn't know about those tennis shoes.

[@shirleyturner7178]

I doubt I’ll change my mind about pointed toe heels 👠 only because I can’t walk in heels! I hate them! *My suggestion for a part 2 video is: I HATE DRESSES & SKIRTS! 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄 Do you hate me now!? Lmao 😜 I guess that I just don’t care for them because I was MADE TO WEAR THEM AS A CHILD! *Note: I have very thin/fine hair, & because of this fact my mama would keep my hair SUPER SHORT! I was wearing a DRESS as a toddler & got called a BOY! This really made her mad! She said that she yelled @ this person “Can’t you see she is wearing a dress? She is not a BOY!” *I wore dresses until I was old enough to tell her I don’t want to wear them anymore! I know this is probably “weird”…but this is my truth about my “hate” for dresses/skirts! I literally love them on other people! I feel like my body isn’t right for them yet…still losing weight! I have the tummy that sticks out…it’s an entire video, I swear! Hahahaha 😜 I just wonder if anyone else is LIKE ME????

I don’t hate any of these! However, leather jackets is another issue. Leather bomber, love it, leather trench, love it, leather motorcycle jackets - HATE them! I find them to be so ugly! I might be the only one but that’s okay.

I hadn’t heard of Golden Goose before this video, but now that I’ve heard you say $600 for sneakers that were made to look dirty or worn in, there in lies the problem. And now I dislike them too! I would say buy dupes and wear them in yourself. As far as as name brand sneakers, I’ve always liked the classic Converse All Stars, they look good clean, they look good worn down, they can be worn with practically anything, and they are reasonably priced.

I'm with you on the ironing/steaming. I hate it and I'm not doing it. I still wear linen though because the second you put it on it's wrinkled anyway so there is no use worrying about wrinkles. I just accept it as part of linen's charm.

I don’t iron either. But I use Woolite Dry Cleaning cloths in my dryer to dry clean my non washables. Then I take them to the cleaners to be pressed for $3.60. I just dropped of a cobalt blue silk blazer this morning.

[@barbarahansen5353]

I have one pair of drawstring white linen pants that I actually throw in the dryer and then wear them without ironing - very casual and comfy. My other pairs and linen blouses I hang dry and I do iron, much as I hate it. With the extreme heat where I live, I’ve found no substitute for comfort!

I love white pants and jeans and use a trick my mom taught me years ago,- SCOTCH GUARD THEM! It keeps the stains at bay ( they still will get normal dirty) but the wash great (lasts about 10 washes). Two things to watch: use spray, not foam, and always spray in ventilated space. My mom has done the front of my dad's polo shirts for decades! It also works on white shoes!

[@shannonsews8795]

No problem with any of those. Except ironing! I have to iron. I think it makes an outfit look more polished 😊

[@rutheslate]

I love the ‘half’ or ‘French’ tuck. I think it’s actually helped me look more put together. You can see that I’m wearing a belt which helps the overall put together look. I do think it helps detract from a tummy issue. If you’re just wearing your shirt untucked then it’s like you’re trying to hide and that makes you look bigger. The little tuck in the front creates an asymmetry that helps pull your eyes away or down to your rear. I love your videos and content. I hope others glean as much style help and encouragement as I have. TY 🥰🥰🥰

Linen… I just got into it the last two years. I don’t have a ton but I have a variety of linen tops and pants, most of which I have found secondhand. As a 60-year-old woman I find them extremely comfortable in the hot weather. I do not put them in the dryer. I do not iron them, I just hang them to dry, shake them out every once in a while while they’re still damp and they seem to come out fine.

Hi Erin, first, I would like to say that I am a huge fan! I discovered your channel a couple of months ago and, since then, have been binge watching your videos. You have helped me so much to find the joy in fashion again (which I had lost years ago), so I would like to thank you for that. I would like to share my experience with high heels/pointed shoes: I used to wear these kinds of shoes, but about 5 years ago, I started to experience pain in my foot and toes. Long story short, I was diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma, a VERY painful condition that I have been dealing with ever since. There is no easy fix to this, I spend years trying to deal with this problem, and now, I am scheduled for a surgery in 4 (!!!) years. Even with the surgery, there is no guarantee that the Neuroma won't come back. It is an extremely depressing situation. In summer, I can only wear flip-flops, and in winter, I was lucky enough to find a pair of winter boots that are ok for me. Even sneakers hurt my foot. I just thought, I would like to warn women about this (as this is a problem that mainly affects women due to high heels/pointy shoes). Hi from Edmonton, Canada : )

[@robertalaprade5612]

I too developed a neuroma from wearing pointed shoes and have to go for comfort now but there are some nice comfy sandals out there. Pricey but so worth it to have comfy, stylish footwear!! Love the tuck, white jeans and blazer for sure. Looking for white sneakers now. Thanks Erin!!

I have a Neuroma and THE THING that has helped me the most is stretching my calves. Per a podiatrist, tight calves pull on your foot and cause misalignment. Hang off the end of a step for 30 seconds, 3 sets. Work up to 60 seconds, 3 sets. And agree that footwear needs to fit properly. Take care.

I have a 6 months pregnant-looking belly but am not plus-sized. I just carry my extra 10-15 pounds all around the belly and back. Half-tuck looks absurd on me, totally screams "LOOK AT MY HUGE BELLY!" So I have to pass on that one. I opt for tops that are looser around the middle (skimming but not at all tight) and that end mid to mid-to low pooch area, so it really camouflages it well.

[@dawnmalmstrom3168]

I’ve found that the real problem with linen is not the little, soft wrinkles but the big creases that happen from the spin cycle in the washer that never come out. There’s two things to minimize these, if not get rid of them entirely (this also works with other natural fabrics). The most involved step, pre soaking, only needs to be done once.* Setting your washer’s spin cycle is relatively easy. The reason why linen gets these knife edge creases from the washer is two-fold. First linen has a long straight fiber (or staple) compared to cotton. When you first get a garment it generally still has some type of coating still on it, some from nature, some from the manufacturing process. If you throw it directly into the washer the fibers will not have enough time to soak in the water before it’s spun out and the centrifugal force will “break” the fiber where it is bent. Pre soaking it in enough tepid water it can freely float for a minimum of 30 minutes gives the fibers enough time to fully hydrate and to relax. I sew so I often have multiple yards of linen to pre soak so I use my bathtub for that a large plastic container would work fine for smaller pieces. The second thing that you want to address is the speed of the spin cycle. Most modern front loaders can spin fast enough to get a jet off the ground. Great for wringing out towels. Terrible for finer fabrics. You will want to set it to its lowest setting or stop it from spinning at all. Yes, it will take longer to drip dry but it will make the clothing last so much longer. If you want to soften the linen you can either iron it at the end or throw it in the dryer once it’s mostly dry just to bang it around. *The pre soaking needs to be done before the garment gets all wrinkled. If it comes in the mail with creases then you will need to beat it up a bit before pre soaking. Lowering the speed of the wring cycle is something that you will want to do every time you wash the garment.

I simply soak linen pieces in the bathtub with hand-wash soap. Sometimes I leave white linen pieces soaking overnight. Then just rinse and hang to dry in the morning. No need for the washing machine at all. I smooth out the fabric with my fingers and never need to iron, It works like a charm.

After not being a linen fan in the past, I've been doing a lot of linen blazers to work this summer to good effect. I've started rolling or pushing up the sleeves, which not only makes the outfit even cooler, it had the side effect of making the sleeves look more intentionally rumpled, if that makes sense. Also, I've found that hanging them for a few days between wears allows gravity to take care of the worst of the wrinkles. I'm trying to get on board the half-tuck train, but it's a struggle for this triangle. Going to test out some of the tips here though.

I never put linen in the dryer, I iron it semi wet.

I have recently discovered this channel and have been trying the half tuck for the past week. This tip was completely new to me. First time I tried it I hated it. I realised that I was tucking the front in too tightly without giving it a gentle tug for a soft fold at the front. Once I figured that out, second time and beyond…it really works!!! Thank you.

Yay! So glad you love it too now! xo

[@tracythomas343]

The only ‘no-no’ on your list for me is the price of the golden goose sneakers. I would love a pair but haven’t been able to pull the trigger with that price.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I totally get it! If you love them, keep your eyes out on second-hand sights like The RealReal and Poshmark. Thanks for watching, Tracy! xo

[@gingernightmare9152]

I'm wearing white jeans this summer for the first time in my life! It feels good. 🌼

[@BusbeeStyle]

Love that!! Thanks for watching! xo

[@eneidaesser566]

I actually use all of these. Love my golden goose, the half tuck, the pointy toe and own the same exact 3/4 sleeve blazer in black. I do wear and like linen but know what you mean. Hate to iron. Great video

[@BusbeeStyle]

Love it! Thanks so much for watching! xo

[@medicalmarketing2011]

Love the half tuck (French tuck)! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dashnja.9202]

Love the half tuck! Execution matters though. It can be sloppy or unflattering. Pointed toes are a no for me. I do not need any length added to my size 10 feet.

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're totally right!! Thanks so much for watching! xo

[@wisteria808]

I *live* for white jeans, pants, and white denim skirts in the spring|summer. Cool and crisp, sets off colors beautifullly, and reminds me of The Great Gatsby. Fun video!

[@triciasimmonds86]

Great content Erin. There's nothing I really hate and I can't believe you get negative comments. Keep up the good work you're doing an awesome job and I appreciate you sharing your fashion knowledge 🤗

[@shogo8995]

How odd that I buy fairly expensive white sneakers and discard(donate) them when they begin to look dirty, wishing they didn’t cost so much; and you are buying sneakers that cost 2-3 times more and are dirty when they come out of the box. Go figure 😄

[@bdoobwah]

Another alternative to the half tuck is your brilliant suggestion to use a hair elastic on the inside of a boxy tee-shirt to create ruching that takes the fullness out for way more waist definition in the front while preserving some of the length in the back. Dresses up a dowdy tee in a major way while keeping it casual. I’ve even used it to temporarily transform a scoop neck to a V-neck. Totally the best hack of the year and maybe even ever! Can’t thank you enough for that one because I’d completely given up on boxy tees. (maybe link it below)

[@BusbeeStyle]

It's a great alternative! SO glad you found this one helpful. Thanks for watching! xo

[@sherylarmstrong7064]

I love tailored blazers but as a 5 ft petite woman. The oversized, unstructured blazer, makes me look like I’m playing dress up as a kid with Daddy’s jacket. 🙃. Fitted is where it’s at for this shortie.

[@BusbeeStyle]

That's okay, it's so important to dress for your own body! Thanks for watching, Sheryl! xo

[@skoolie_life3261]

Same here. I’m 5’2” no oversized anything for me.

[@kimberlyjanowiak264]

Love the list and the alternatives given, but I have to say that I absolutely love linen!!!! Shirts, pants and blazers in linen to me is the epitome of summer…. So breezy and so classic. I’m never giving it up!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks for watching, Kimberly! xo

[@meggietzoneva1158]

Erin, I am a big style and fashion lover and have been watching, here and there, your you tube channel. I don’t EVER write comments to any of the influencers I follow, until today. I absolutely adore your approach to fashion and style and most importantly your way of speaking about it. There is always something special that a women can take away that really makes a difference. Thank you! BTW I am a no, no for Golden Goose sneakers but will give it a try thanks to you.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you SO much for your support, Meggie! Truly appreciate you more than you can know...I'm so glad you are here and enjoying my videos! xo

[@tanyaflynn4908]

@Maggie, which style Golden Goose are you planning on trying? I hope you love them! ❤️

[@gegeschannel8836]

After a professional career, I fell in love with blazers. My uniform is a blazer and white or denim jeans. You influenced me into buying my first Veronica Beard blazer. Love!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad! Her blazers are SO good! xo

[@tplayspiano]

I often watch videos like yours when I’m steaming or ironing clothes! I find it relaxing. None of these fashion items are on my hate list. My opinion is if you don’t like something, don’t wear it, don’t whine about it, just do something else. At 60+, I just bought my first white dress, tailored, safari style in linen! I hate ruffles and baggy clothes so I don’t wear them.

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're so right...we have to wear the things we feel our best in! Thanks for watching, Teresa! xo

[@robinsmith4499]

Being an adult I understand you are the educated instructor. What I cannot comprehend is anyone being upset with you. We should be capable of knowing our bodies and dressing accordingly. You are not the Style Police. I have applied and leaned some wonderful techniques as I age. So grateful. The world of narcissism is growing and we have to live with entitled people. 😘😘😉😘😘

[@BusbeeStyle]

You're so sweet, Robin! Thanks for your support! xo

[@kimberlytran3784]

Back when the half tuck initially first came out from JCrew’s Jenna Lyons, I thought it was straight up weird. But it didn’t take long for me to appreciate its leg-lengthening properties. I swear by it for pretty much every outfit. I initially thought it was weird paying for designer distressed Golden Goose as well. Now they are practically the only sneakers I wear. 1) It gives that off-duty model effortless look. 2) After Golden Goose I cannot fathom wearing clean white sneakers living in a dust bowl. I used to swear by white bottoms when I was younger & skinnier. Now they sometimes make me self conscious of my hips, so I wear them a lot less (besides dusty climate). Plus for some reason they often look cheaper than denim on me, so my options seem more limited. For blazers the problem for me is that it’s too linear for my Kibbe theatrical romantic body shape. I do like jackets though.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks so much for sharing your own thoughts, Kimberly. Love reading that! Thank you for watching! xo

[@Katrn30]

I love the half tuck…it transformed my wardrobe.

[@marciarayne9269]

I refused to wear any high heel after I retired. Yes, I still have a nude and black pair that are 4 in heels but I never grab them because they kill my feet after I walk a short distance. I actually wore heels to a fancy wedding and I took them off when leaving and walked barefoot to the car a block away and I did not care how I looked. I do have a pair of Louise Et Cie that are not so high…maybe 3 inch? They are gorgeous black and white and pretty darn comfy ,even with a pointy toe! So my plan is to wear boots and 2” block heels in winter and a heeled sandal in summer ,not to exceed 2” in height. I have learned my lesson! Took me 60 years though. So Sam Edelman, Dolce Vita, and Vince Camuto are my go to shoes! Blazers! I love them! I am seriously addicted to them! I have at least 18-20 of them! And I do have three linen and one silk blazer! I dry clean them at home with Woolite dry cleaner and take them to the cleaners to be pressed for $4 each. The rest are cotton, poly, or a sweater blazer. ( love J Crew sweater blazer) also I wear the heck out of my two fatigue military style blazers. Just right for warm weather. I always grab one when I go out to eat because I freeze in restaurants. Yes, I have several white pants including a Lysse pair of white denim leggings which I adore! I wear jeans almost every day now and I need options so white it is! I do like ecru too. Not giving them up! I just wear them shopping or out to eat. Golden goose? No way. I hate the “dirty look”. And no sneaker is worth $500! Sorry ! Oh, just want to mention that Nordstrom will alter any of their blazers so take advantage of that! $200 worth in free alterations ! And the Anniversary Sale starts in 2 weeks!❤️ Have a wonderful summer!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks so much for your comment, Marcia!! I get your point on the heels...comfort is very important, as you have shared! SO excited for the Nordstrom sale!! Thanks for watching! xo

[@shannoncook9915]

Love white, cream jeans & love blazers!! Also LOVE pointed shoes!!

[@ginamihailidis4444]

It's not about the golden goose sneakers being expensive, they are dirty, I can't understand why someone would buy sth dirty on purpose?! This trend is laughable, I bet the people who designed these made a bet that people will buy anything given the right promotion and laughed all the way to the bank!😂😂

[@annika8207]

Exactly!

[@ericaalexander8352]

I agree!! I thought I was crazy. Always wondered why she had such dirty shoes on!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

They're not for everyone...Which is exactly why they made the cut! Haha! Thanks for watching, Gina. xo

[@waterlily8947]

I have a pair of white leather puma sneakers. A fraction of the cost and I got the same dirty look as the Golden goose by wearing them. Now their stylish

[@eliseworthen6558]

Gina, the first time I saw them on someone- I thought- oh no, what’s wrong with her shoes? It’s time to get rid of those. How does she not see that? Ha! Then when I heard about the price, I rolled over laughing. 🤣

[@zerenamafdet]

Ahhhhh! ~CLEAR elastic ties!!! I will try- I have been living in FEAR of the reveal with the BLACK ones I use!!!! LOL THANK YOU!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad to have helped you out there, Zerena! Game changer!! Thanks for watching! xo

[@sinc814]

I don’t understand the hate. If you don’t like a certain style idea, don’t adopt it, just ignore it. I however, don’t expect this channel or other people to start thinking like me or agreeing with my style preferences. I have learnt a lot from Busbee channel, but I don’t follow everything. This channel is a fashion knowledge bank, and I pick what I want to pick and let the rest go. When did fashion and style become so black and white 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@BusbeeStyle]

So important to wear the things you love and feel great in...avoid the rest! I'm so glad you are here and enjoying my tips! xo

[@lizzkabat778]

great coaching with confidence and positivity.

[@beverlymccomas4257]

Yeah - I'm still a NO for those dingy looking, high priced sneakers.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Totally fine, Beverly! They're not for everyone, and that's exactly why I've shared some other GREAT alternative options! xo

[@kathleenbuske472]

I love the half tuck!

[@christina5584]

I don't feel like consuming nonsense anymore, so I like to wear the things I bought years ago. I find this year's fashion horrible, so I save the money for the holidays.

[@BusbeeStyle]

So important to wear only the things you LOVE and feel your most confident in! Sounds like you're doing just that! Thanks for watching. xo

[@MrsColumbo823]

Smart. Style is more important than fashion every single day.

[@mssid708]

Can't do those GG sneakers!!! For the price I can buy another designer belt. Adidas, Nike, Converse, Reebok and Asics are more my jam all are stylish and comfortable. Sorry GG

[@BusbeeStyle]

Sounds like you've found the right sneakers for you! Love that. Thanks for watching! xo

[@mssid708]

Thanks Erin LOVE this channel!!!! #GotallmyBASICS 👑💯💜💐👍🏿

[@lawgally1]

Thanks, Erin, a great video! It’s the Golden Goose sneakers for me! Both the price (although I do understand they are handmade) and the dirty look. I love linen and don’t iron or steam either. Good quality linen also does not wrinkle as much if it’s hung up right after washing. If needed I use a spray wrinkle-release product that take seconds to smooth things out.

[@bobetteguerrieri7967]

Don’t love the half tuck. Can I still make my beautiful and expensive tops for the summer look good …. Even if I wear them out? Especially the linen ones in my hot climate.

[@BusbeeStyle]

If you don't like the half-tuck, no need to do it! Your blouses will look perfect out. Thanks for watching! xo

[@GoddessLaurel]

I personally like the half tuck but the folded clear elastic tuck is an awesome idea

[@BusbeeStyle]

Game changer! Thanks for watching, Laura! xo

[@deborahb.277]

Love the half tuck. I hate when you show pieces that are super expensive. I’m never going to spend $400 on shoes and not even $150 on a shirt.

[@kellycook4347]

The thing is, it's not expensive for some people, just people like us. I just get ideas of what style I'd like to try to find on the cheap. Sticking with cotton and not polyester is the key.

[@ShellTay32]

There are some great and in my experience more comfortable options to the GG sneaker. Steve Madden ones are comfy. I also think Vans or Converse give a similar laid back casual but put together vibe for much much less. xoxo

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Deborah! More important than the item I'm showing, is the principles behind the style. And while we do show higher price-points, we always work SO hard to share more affordable options in the video's description box. You can always apply my tips to any store, at any budget! Thanks so much for watching! xo

[@teresasantana45]

I like seeing how she combines expensive items with less expensive items. Some of us can afford a few expensive items, and it’s great to learn how to style them with our regular clothes.

[@Brublondie1]

I have found the White House Black Market Shoe selection is very stylish and cut wide enough to be quite comfy. They also usually keep their heel heights around 3” or lower. I have several pair of their shoes and they are very comfy and quite durable. Just a suggestion…:) Thank you for your great tips and advice!!! I love your website and videos!!!

[@AdrienneMint]

I am in LOVE with my Golden Goose sneakers! I paid $577 and worth every penny. I would buy them again.

[@annekevisser7544]

I am sold on the blazer and I am taking your tips on other videos to not just buy the first one, but getting the right one for my body.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad you found that tip helpful. Thanks so much for watching!! xo

[@lakeboww]

The whole goal and point of warderobe styling for 45+ age group is looking more sophisticated(taller, leaner, chicer and more youthful). Is this regard, white pants, round toe flat sneakers and everything that cancels the aim is considered counter intuitive and unsmart unless you have a really fat-free and fit frame which is very rare.

[@BusbeeStyle]

So important to wear the styles that you LOVE and feel your best in! Thanks for watching. xo

[@maryh1640]

I LOVE BLAZERS!!!!!! Thank you for the video!!!

[@Billybloop]

I just can't get behind the trend of tucking your shirt in. As a size 16 apple I have way too much of a belly line to feel comfortable with it. I also have very large bust and tucking my shirt in at all just makes my whole torso look like a pair of boobs. I like a blouse that is hip length. If the blouse flares out at the bottom a little or has side splits it's the most flattering on me.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I totally understand! The wrap waist top and rounded hemline, at the right length for you, along with a bit of flare like you mentioned, are all great alternatives! You have to find what you feel your best in! Thanks so much for watching! xo

[@mybahiablanca]

Love the half tuck, white jeans; linen pants, white everything! Also love blazers, fitted or oversized, pointed toe shoes. Not so keen on dirty sneakers, I can get them dirty myself:) Love following you, Erin. Thank you for your insight.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thanks for sharing, Martha! So glad you are here! xo

[@ErinCRN]

Yeah……not ever gonna buy Golden Goose sneakers. I have the Naturalizer Morrison white sneaker and they are perfect! Comfortable right out of the box. Has the look I am going for. I don’t need status symbols on my feet. I think GG sneakers are ugly. They look like childrens old beat up ratty shoes. Nope! Nope! Nope!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad you've found a sneaker that you love!! Thanks so much for watching. xo

[@stalkingcrane]

I really enjoyed this video! 😁 Years and years and years ago I was working in the designer department at Nordstrom’s. We received some summer dresses in a heavier weight linen that had some slubs and wrinkles and that actually looked wonderful. It was comfortable on and was cut so the fabric (especially the skirt) moved beautifully around a moving body. That was a linen that (according to the mfgrs rep) did not need ironing. I have to agree. If the linen has more weight and some texture it is very tolerable as a travel piece, roll it to pack.. Linen mixes can work too. On the other end of the spectrum a few years ago I came across a very inexpensive (ok, downright cheap) long simple 20%Linen 80% Rayon mix dress, at Walmart of all places, that looks perfect right out of the dryer. It’s comfortable and smooth on the skin, cool to wear (not quite as cool as linen in high humidity), and it simply doesn’t wrinkle. It’s kind of a miracle fabric.

[@horace6851]

I love rayon for summer! Especially weave although jersey is nice too. But it cannot be in a blend with spandex. Spandex rayon jersey is THE worst, shiny cheap looking, awfully unflattering fabric. It used to be that you could only find it in the cheapest brands but now I see it everywhere! Down to designer items! Yuck.

[@k.m.2080]

I love all of these. Wear them daily! Thanks for sharing!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Love it! Thanks for watching! xo

[@janetebonanno]

Love: half tuck, pointed shoe, white pants and BLAZERS! Lukewarm on the sneakers - I went with a Michael Kors dupe, but you will NEVER see me wearing sneakers with a dress - I. Just. Can’t. 😆

[@pampenney9600]

I love the half tuck!!!!

[@kristeng1011]

I will tell you what I love. I LOVE linen and you can find knit linen tops. I have several and if I hang them on a hanger to dry after washing them most of the time I do not have to iron them. I also love white pants. You look stunning in the pink top you are wearing. Having said that you are always beautiful.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Kristen! Truly appreciate your support. Thanks for sharing your own tips for linen! xo

[@kyliebartley3650]

Hey Erin, I’ve tried but I can’t do white jeans. But I do love love pointed shoes. Bared footwear make great pointed shoes that accomodate wider toes and some shoe styles come with a fit kit for not so wide feet.. ❤❤❤

Totally get it, Kylie! Thanks for watching and sharing your own tip! xo

[@carolynh6715]

These are ALL (seriously ALL) literally my favorites. I love and appreciate you taking the time to explain what makes these so great, (like them or not) as opposed to my knee jerk reaction of, How could anyone possibly not love these!? Great job, great post. Thank you!!!

I love Keds, been wearing them for years. They were hard to find for awhile so I was buying Tommy Hilfiger's, inexpensive and comfortable. With on-line shopping I am back to Keds.
