I mean I like a good chunky-soled sneaker but there are definitely some out there that don’t look so aggressively “dad” lol. Giesswein’s wool sneakers are really good quality and great for walking 👍🏼
Yuuup. I live in Brooks sneakers (which are not actually ugly imo, to be fair). I have chronic back pain, I'm not falling for those trendy sneaks with zero arch support!
I bought those Nike dad shoes everyone is wearing rn like a year ago as work out shoes lol I love them it’s so funny to think of people styling them with skirts and non workout styles like I would never.
I have a pair of aceics, they look ugly, but I have an unfortunate bump on top of my foot, that causes pain, so many times I have to put comfort over style for my feet.
I'm actually really happy that "small sneakers" are trending again ! Cause I could not get on board with the huges ones we had for the past ten years or so. But yeah I will probably just get a very simple off-brand black pair, or something thrifted, not a neon color that will not be on trend in six months time 😬
I would low key LOVE to see a video where you try on “all the trends I hate” and see if all of your opinions still hold true! I’m sure most of them would, but I think it would be a really fun video!
I am seeing most of these trends come back around for the third time. Boho tops, bubble skirts, adidas (first time around), micro minis (rocked those back in the 70s too). I figure when you see a trend come back that you wore as a teenager or in year early 20s the rule of thumb is to not wear it again. It looks less like style and more like a costume. Picking out clothes to give yourself some polish, style and grace is a definite sign of maturity. When you have learned to dress and appreciate your body and your tastes you stop chasing trends and become your own style icon. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing what you have learned to inspire women everywhere! 😊 And never wear a shoe that makes your foot painful or bloody!!! 😳
I’m 63 and just bought two bubble skirts, one midi, one maxi. I love the shape and they flatter my figure. I’m not a trend follower, never have been but I will wear these for years. My style has always been a bit on the unusual side and I expect it always will be. I also dress up more than the average North American, never been a jeans and tshirt person. I believe I still dress with grace and style but just with a bit more panache 🤷♀️.
i agree with you on the color matching thing. i don’t think we should exclude colors just cos it says so while also knowing that there are some colors that absolutely don’t work for myself even if i’d like them to. i’ve seen people say oh this color isn’t in my wheelhouse but it looks just as good on them as the color their “supposed” to wear.
Carrie: wide leg leopard jeans Me: *slowly hides the pair I just got in the mail yesterday* LMAO! I agree it will be a micro trend, but I’m such a huge fan of funky bottoms, leopard print, and wide leg pants that I definitely see myself wearing these even after the trend is gone
I am so tempted to get them because I also love a good wide leg funky pant but sort of thankfully I am on a no buy at the moment - unless it helps me survive Texas summer (which pants will not).
@@haleighen ahaha as a Floridian, I 100% understand not wanting to wear pants during the summer. The pair I got from PLT are only a little bit thicker than my linen pants so they hopefully shouldn’t be too hot to wear 🤞🏾
Definitely not a micro trend, I've seen them around where I live. Seeing as animal print is pretty classic, they might come back around lots of times and it will be a good investment.
ive been eying leo pants FOR YEARS (im super picky so havent found THE pair for me) but alone in that time leo came and went like two times :D Leo will come around again 100%
I also saw the Gap x Doen collection, was initially excited, liked several pieces, but then realized there were little things (i.e. super short cap sleeves, wrinkly fabric, synthetic materials I know won't wash well, small room for larger busts in the dresses, and light colors that wash me out) that gave me an appreciated "out" for what would have just been another regretted (and kinda expensive) clothing purchase. I'm happy it's available and will make other people happy but can also recognize it isn't for me.
I'm with you on the low rise. Doing it in middle school traumatized me enough. I worked so hard to have my hip bones show in them and that is deff not happening now
but feeling that high rise jean digging into your stomach is so uncomfortable... you just need a pair that fits perfectly, on the tight side and you wont need to pull them up.
@@barbrothers2 exactly! I have a long torso so I get super high rise usually and it sits at my neutral waist. I'm comfy sitting down (unless I had a super big meal 😅 but no jeans are good for that).
I like that you state your opinions without bringing people down. I like that when you explain your reasoning, you talk only about yourself. Personally I think you could rock anything 🩵
I noticed that too and while it is nice, I felt then she took "they wouldnt work for me" a little far, I felt she was talking way too harshly about herself, like saying "I look like an idiot" about the dad sneakers, or saying she would look ridiculous on a micro mini skirt, or the way she said the boho blouses "would NOT look cute on me", and also saying some people look cute in the barrel leg jeans "but not me, definitely not me" (while grimacing)...I'm not trying to hate on her AT ALL, she seems funny and nice, but I couldnt help but hit like the middle of the video and have this realization of "oh...she's putting herself down a lot I think" There's nothing wrong with admitting something doesnt look good on us, but I think everyone should be mindful of not saying stuff like "I look ridiculous/ugly/like an idiot", just "I dont like how I look it in" is enough, and to be honest, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so we should also be able to say "I think X thing is ugly, if you love it that's perfectly fine tho" without having to go to the lengths of "You look LOVELY, I would look like a sack of potatoes" I'm also not trying to be negative in her comment section, but maybe she doesnt realize she did it, and it might help someone else realize it too
Dad sneakers are the *epitome* of “is it cute or is she just skinny, 20, pretty, and tall.” There’s nothing wrong with being skinny, 20, pretty, or tall - that’s not the point. The point is if anyone over 35 with a little weight wore those shoes, no matter WHAT they styled them with, they would be called “ugly old lady shoes” and it’d be used as an example of an “unstylish look.” I personally hate styles that only work on young people cause even though I’m young now, I want my pieces to be somewhat eco-friendly and last the test of time in quality and style. If I have to be 6 feet tall, 100 pounds, fake tan with hair extensions and a full face of makeup to “make it work” then it just doesn’t work cause that’s not realistic for the majority of normal, not “model off duty” type of people. I like styles that are cute on any age or body type (or at least on a lot of people verses just one very specific body type and gen.) That’s just my maybe unpopular opinion.
And just to clarify, cause people get offended over the use of the word “normal” when talking about people - I didn’t mean “normal” as in body type. I meant normal as in not an influencer or model aka someone’s who’s income is NOT dependent on their looks. I was not implying normal = curvy and skinny = abnormal by any means. I meant people with a “normal” occupation.
I would like to politely disagree 😂. I’m 37 with a little extra weight and LOVE the dad shoes. They go with everything! Especially with some cute ankle socks 😍.
Girl COMPLETELY disagree. I’m 43 years old and I have so many pair of New Balance 9060 and they look goood when I wear them, you need to style them they look good on anyone.
I know you said you don’t “believe in” the color theory but I’d LOVE to see you go to someone that does it and be 100% honest of the experience and your opinion afterwards! would be a great video and super entertaining!!
Circa 2011, at a bar with a mechanical bull. Gorg girlie riding had on a denim micro mini and when I tell you the eyes on her… that micro mini rode up so high that her cheeks were full out and you could see EVERYTHING. It was at that moment I said no, never to both the skirts and mechanical bulls. 😂
i was also traumatized by low rise as a curvy girl in the early 2000s and yet here i am getting rid of all my high rise and wearing hella micro minis😂 they just look so much cuter on me, my tummy is gonna hang out and everyone is just gonna have to deal🤷🏾♀️
I 100% agree with you about the trends that are going to pass including barrel jeans, leopard jeans, low rise, and also the bubble skirts. Trends are a silly investment to purchase. I love how adamant you were about low rise. I grew up around same era as you and they’re triggering for me too. Hate them!! I will not be partaking in the ballet flat trend as well….. I also think that will be a summer thing then gone. I’d love to see you do a video trying on kye dupes or any designer dupes video.
Dad Walker 9000s ❤❤😂😂 Ps this video makes me wish the generation before us was on RUclips reacting to what was coming back around with lol... I love how we have socials to document this!
we agree so much despite me being old gen z (24), living in swedish country side so fashion moved slower here and i still grew up on a lot of y2k. i’ve always hated low waist simply for sensory reasons.
I remember thinking that I would never become uncool with my style (hair, makeup, fashion). I thought the older generations were just stuck in a time warp and swore that would never happen to me. But now all I can think is that I lived thru the early 2000's once, I don't care to again. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m glad the algorithm suggested your channel. I have AuDHD and a shopping addiction along with that. I buy way too many things. I’ve gotten better about buying items that don’t fit my lifestyle at all, but I still overbuy on the things that do. I used to like to watch channels that were all about hauls and buying, but have realized I can’t watch too many of those anymore without being triggered to spend. You were spot-on with the part about shoes. I already have a massive shoe collection, including ones that I haven’t worn yet. Yet I was super close to buying a couple pairs of full-priced colorful Adidas the other day. I decided to put my phone down and walk away! I did allow myself one pair of Nike dad sneakers recently, but they were only around $45 at Ross. 😂
Love this! I had the same dilemma with the Gap x Doen collab, and I realized I was just buying because of the rush/demand and totally didn’t need to be spending that money.
for all the girlies who want docs but dont have doc girl money go to platos closet (second hand store)! i dont wear them but my mom loves them and every time we go there are TONS of cute pairs!!
I have the doc marten clogs and I have to admit...I love them but I literally never wear them 😭😭😭 I just don't love walking and driving in them, and they are a little difficult to style for me personally. But this video has renewed my motivation to get some decent wear out of them
I think for barrel leg to work, it needs to be subtle. Some of my favorite jeans are some high rise barrel legs ones from Target, because they go past my hip dips in a way I like, but the FP ones look comical to me
I’m one of the people who have dm’ed you multiple times about the dr marten clogs! 😂😂🙈 honestly they are my favorite pair of shoes I’ve ever had, I wear them at least once a day, whether its taking my dog in a walk, going to the grocery store, picking up my nephew from school. So comfortable, the sport mode is so convenient, looks so cute with like a workout set and tube socks! I’m obsessed! 😭
Low-rise clothing has always been a way to make non-skinny people feel like shit, and we are not going back! I know there are gorgeous curvy/plus-sized folks who will wear some low-rise, but the VAST majority of people do not want to wear that stuff again. I remember buying my first pair of high-rise jeans in probably 2003, I was working at Urban Outfitters, I had to order them from the UK, and everyone thought I was insane. I'm never going back!
I’m thin and I feel like crap in low-rise! makes my torso look way too long compared to my legs and squashes my butt haha. Plus low rise is just not comfy no matter your size
Mini skirts are so cute but yeah it’s def a body type thing. We are similar in size so if you are comfortable I’d love to see a try on for giggles. Unfortunately they’re not very flattering on me
I actually love so many of those trends with fun colors and prints since I really miss that from my early childhood and until now majority of the stuff I see in stores is still either black, grey, navy or beige which is BOORING. I never enjoyed wearing those but I had to since that´s the only thing I actually find but now I actually have some hope for my wardrobe with these summer trends. If I ever get my hands on a fun colored pair of sneakers or patterned pants and blouses I will cherish them for life. I LOVE COLORS
girl for backless tops I suffer too with Dcups so I always sew an elastic band and adjust the straps so that the top itself does the bra job. promise it works!
Love these videos! I agree with almost everything you said. Basically, I just don’t have enough lo-pro sneakers! Have you done a video about how your style has changed over the years? Or restyling an outfit from your past to make it current!
Feeeel you on the adidas!!! I bought some green ones last year and I’ve been obsessed since. I’d been eying up the pink & red for ages but I have no doubt they will start to give me the ick soon 😂😂😂
!! Barrel leg pants are my absolute favourite :D they fit so nicely with my style, I've loved them for years! Didn't know they're trendy now, maybe I should take advantage and try to find a pair of barrel leg linen pants 👀 this anti-haul didn't end so well with me 😂
I love the look of docs but they are so uncomfortable. So i got the Timberland everleigh boots. They are perfect!! No blisters. Got them in the dark port color. Amazing!
i was on the same page for all of these. i've been living abroad with a small capsule wardrobe so being home i can basically shop my closet now lmao. also i wish i could get with the chunky dad sneaker trend. i used to wear those heavy, cheap, white leather sneakers from walmart and i just can't see myself wearing shoes that heavy anymore :') now i wear skechers mom sneakers LMAO
I have soft leather high platform Dr martens, Spezials, clog Birkenstocks, mini Tasman uggs, and dad sneakers by Niki. Honestly speaking I love them all and wear them A LOT. Like somehow a lot of these shoes I genuinely liked on me and found them comfortable. Sometimes I ask myself if I bought them because I was influenced, or was it that whatever influencers promoted, actually ended up comfortable and fit me As for things that I didn’t find for trends, barrel leg pants have been amazing for my body shape as well - and I am not skinny and I’m short. So I think it’s quite a testament that in the modern day, we get to have quite a lot of choices. I grew up in a country where it was very difficult to import things and my options were tight skinny jeans that were extremely long. Now I live in the EU and I’m so happy at the options
Ahh butter yellow makes me look pale and sickly. It looks very pretty on the rack 😊 Also, leopard print is such an interesting thing.. it pops up in a different form every year or so. It’s kind of timeless, but also can be kind of not.
Color theory is really good for putting outfits together, I think everyone should know the basics of color theory, I think what you meant was the color analysis thing that has been floating around in the past couple of years, in which case yes, that one is definitely stupid
LOVE low rise jeans! And I am NOT skinny. It's so comfortable. I tend to wear low rise boot cut jeans with a bit of an oversized shirt (or flowy blouse / tunic -- yes I'm in my 30s). I'm totally into comfort over fashion. But I'm also not into crop tops.
That’s so interesting! I’m the total opposite, lanky girly that loves crop tops and hates low rise! just goes to show it’s not about your body type, it’s about what makes you feel good!
I was really taken aback by the bubble dresses and skirts but the other day I saw a girl rocking a dark blue dress and it looked SO cute I was even tempted to try and find one hshshhs. Also dad sneakers are amazingggg I have a pair of NB530, they're super comfortable (also I live in a city where you walk A LOT so they're perfect for that) and I feel like I'm slaying whenever I wear them. Oh and butter yellow is lovely but in my case I'm like you, my hair color and skin tone look terrible in it (same with pinks in general)
The barrel pants have been around for a bit so I don’t think they will be a microtrend because they’ve been popular for a bit already but I get not getting them for other reasons.
What’s so funny about the bubble skirts is they were big in the late ‘80’s when I was a kid. Seeing them come back in the 2000’s as an adult was kind of traumatizing lol. Now seeing them back again is just making me laugh because it’s kind of a funny shape, right? 😂
Remember a few years ago when everyone had those Fila sneakers? I tried on a pair at the time and strange as it sounds, they made my big feet look weirdly small...and I didn't like it. Tried on some Sambas several mos ago and found them extremely uncomfortable. Dad sneakers (New Balance) I actually really like. Barrel jeans I also like a lot, but everything else, ugh. I am too old, on me it would look so bad and so "try hard." :( And I am fine w that.
Count me out of the low rise jeans trend 😣 I still have nightmares about teenager me trying to sit comfortably in those jeans and trying to avoid my bum crack to show 😟 no thanks! I won’t out myself through that again. Bubble dresses were THE trend during my university graduation back in 2010 😂
you can pry my dad sneakers / lawn mower 3000s from my cold dead hands 😂😂😂😂 but seriously they are the only sneakers that saved my feet during my trip to europe. the sambas/gazelles/spezials absolutely wrecked me!!!
Or at least more acknowledgment (there was some re: the low rise and micro minis sections) that these trends are ONLY for thin (young) women. For other trends though, I do imagine plus size people are participating who could be shown in the reference photos. Especially since that’s a demographic that Carrie has built the channel’s brand on, it feels weird that very little of her inspo seems to include larger women/people.
@@littlegreencap28 agree, plenty of these trends would work on anybody if it’s what they are drawn too. And maybe part of why Carrie doesn’t feel drawn to them is because she’s only looking at/pulling inspo that doesn’t match her body type. And on a slightly different note, if I wanted to exclusively see thinspo pictures I wouldn’t be watching carries channel. The whole point is to see how clothes look on an average/diverse body type.
I 100% agree with you on this video! I absolutely love colorful Adidas, but I don't need more shoes. I love micro mini skirts, but not on me. I need coverage. Same goes for the backless trend. I love dresses that have an open back, but only ones you can still wear a bra with. The bubble hem trend actually intrigues me, but I don't think it will look good on me either. And finally, the low rise everything trend! I wish it will go away already! I used to wear mid rise jeans for years, then covid hit and I came out of the other side unable to wear anything that is not high rise. But now I cannot find a single pair of high rise jeans or shorts at the thrift store! They're all low rise! Skirts and pants are a little better, but I think I'll have to buy my perfect pair of jorts new instead of thrift it.
Yeah I just bought myself a bright colour Puma's ha! But secondhand and I do not really care if they are out of style again by the time they arrive. Got a bright blue/yellow combi in high school which gave me flashbacks.
I used to say that if I participated in the trend already, I am not doing it again! 😂 no mini skirts, pleated minis, low-rise, tied butterfly tops, white eyeshadow, platform fiam sandals....never again!
I loooove dad sneakers!! And it’s ironic bc my dad never has worn sneakers like those lol idk if those shoes are just a white dad thing or what 😅 but maybe that’s why I think they’re cute!
In the year 2024, for how much we have to pay for things, there is no excuse for companies to be making uncomfortable shoes, especially if those shoes aren’t high heels.

I can't believe bubble dresses/skirts have made a comeback
They were unflattering back in the day, and they are unflattering now 😂
"I think, but don't hold me to it." We love a relatable queen.
I'm actually really happy that "small sneakers" are trending again ! Cause I could not get on board with the huges ones we had for the past ten years or so.

As someone who grew up with stricter parents these trends are exciting to see come up again
Thought I was the only one, I’m 43 and can afford them all myself now 😊
I think this is great! I hope you are enjoying all the clothes you couldn’t wear the first time they were in fashion.
I would low key LOVE to see a video where you try on “all the trends I hate” and see if all of your opinions still hold true! I’m sure most of them would, but I think it would be a really fun video!

we agree so much despite me being old gen z (24), living in swedish country side so fashion moved slower here and i still grew up on a lot of y2k. i’ve always hated low waist simply for sensory reasons.
I remember thinking that I would never become uncool with my style (hair, makeup, fashion). I thought the older generations were just stuck in a time warp and swore that would never happen to me. But now all I can think is that I lived thru the early 2000's once, I don't care to again. 🤣🤣🤣
YESSSS! living for a new Carrie video!
I’m glad the algorithm suggested your channel. I have AuDHD and a shopping addiction along with that. I buy way too many things. I’ve gotten better about buying items that don’t fit my lifestyle at all, but I still overbuy on the things that do.
I used to like to watch channels that were all about hauls and buying, but have realized I can’t watch too many of those anymore without being triggered to spend.
You were spot-on with the part about shoes. I already have a massive shoe collection, including ones that I haven’t worn yet. Yet I was super close to buying a couple pairs of full-priced colorful Adidas the other day. I decided to put my phone down and walk away!
I did allow myself one pair of Nike dad sneakers recently, but they were only around $45 at Ross. 😂
I remember years ago Sierra did a video similar to this saying that she absolutely hated the bike shorts trend and now she’s obsessed with them! 😂
Love this! I had the same dilemma with the Gap x Doen collab, and I realized I was just buying because of the rush/demand and totally didn’t need to be spending that money.
for all the girlies who want docs but dont have doc girl money go to platos closet (second hand store)! i dont wear them but my mom loves them and every time we go there are TONS of cute pairs!!
I have the doc marten clogs and I have to admit...I love them but I literally never wear them 😭😭😭 I just don't love walking and driving in them, and they are a little difficult to style for me personally. But this video has renewed my motivation to get some decent wear out of them
I think for barrel leg to work, it needs to be subtle. Some of my favorite jeans are some high rise barrel legs ones from Target, because they go past my hip dips in a way I like, but the FP ones look comical to me
I’m one of the people who have dm’ed you multiple times about the dr marten clogs! 😂😂🙈 honestly they are my favorite pair of shoes I’ve ever had, I wear them at least once a day, whether its taking my dog in a walk, going to the grocery store, picking up my nephew from school. So comfortable, the sport mode is so convenient, looks so cute with like a workout set and tube socks! I’m obsessed! 😭
Is that….an out of the box framed photo in the back?? MEMORIES!! ❤
Okay thank you for the low rise one because I keep telling all my friends how much I hate low rise on me and no one seems to get it 😭
Low-rise clothing has always been a way to make non-skinny people feel like shit, and we are not going back! I know there are gorgeous curvy/plus-sized folks who will wear some low-rise, but the VAST majority of people do not want to wear that stuff again. I remember buying my first pair of high-rise jeans in probably 2003, I was working at Urban Outfitters, I had to order them from the UK, and everyone thought I was insane. I'm never going back!
I’m thin and I feel like crap in low-rise! makes my torso look way too long compared to my legs and squashes my butt haha. Plus low rise is just not comfy no matter your size
Mini skirts are so cute but yeah it’s def a body type thing. We are similar in size so if you are comfortable I’d love to see a try on for giggles. Unfortunately they’re not very flattering on me
My booty is too big for mini skirts 😂. They look obscene on me
You are spot on with every single one.
I actually love so many of those trends with fun colors and prints since I really miss that from my early childhood and until now majority of the stuff I see in stores is still either black, grey, navy or beige which is BOORING. I never enjoyed wearing those but I had to since that´s the only thing I actually find but now I actually have some hope for my wardrobe with these summer trends. If I ever get my hands on a fun colored pair of sneakers or patterned pants and blouses I will cherish them for life. I LOVE COLORS
girl for backless tops I suffer too with Dcups so I always sew an elastic band and adjust the straps so that the top itself does the bra job. promise it works!
Love this! Also fun to compare opinions, like I love dad sneakers 😂 but I think it’s fun to have different opinions on fashion!
I had the cutest bubble hem polka dot dress in 2008, so funny both of those are coming back.
I only see dad shoes as lawn mowing sneaks stained green 😅
Love these videos! I agree with almost everything you said. Basically, I just don’t have enough lo-pro sneakers!
Have you done a video about how your style has changed over the years? Or restyling an outfit from your past to make it current!
Feeeel you on the adidas!!! I bought some green ones last year and I’ve been obsessed since. I’d been eying up the pink & red for ages but I have no doubt they will start to give me the ick soon 😂😂😂
I am a boho girlie for life hahaa 😂
!! Barrel leg pants are my absolute favourite :D they fit so nicely with my style, I've loved them for years! Didn't know they're trendy now, maybe I should take advantage and try to find a pair of barrel leg linen pants 👀 this anti-haul didn't end so well with me 😂
Love the anti hauls & de-influencing videos - sass levels at 💯 always 😂
I love the look of docs but they are so uncomfortable. So i got the Timberland everleigh boots. They are perfect!! No blisters. Got them in the dark port color. Amazing!
i was on the same page for all of these. i've been living abroad with a small capsule wardrobe so being home i can basically shop my closet now lmao. also i wish i could get with the chunky dad sneaker trend. i used to wear those heavy, cheap, white leather sneakers from walmart and i just can't see myself wearing shoes that heavy anymore :') now i wear skechers mom sneakers LMAO
I have soft leather high platform Dr martens, Spezials, clog Birkenstocks, mini Tasman uggs, and dad sneakers by Niki.
Honestly speaking I love them all and wear them A LOT. Like somehow a lot of these shoes I genuinely liked on me and found them comfortable. Sometimes I ask myself if I bought them because I was influenced, or was it that whatever influencers promoted, actually ended up comfortable and fit me
As for things that I didn’t find for trends, barrel leg pants have been amazing for my body shape as well - and I am not skinny and I’m short.
So I think it’s quite a testament that in the modern day, we get to have quite a lot of choices. I grew up in a country where it was very difficult to import things and my options were tight skinny jeans that were extremely long. Now I live in the EU and I’m so happy at the options
I would loveeee to see a video of you trying trends that make you uncomfortable. I do that sometimes in target dressing rooms 😂
Hey now I love the Boho! I love the style and the home decor! But you do you girl❤
Ahh butter yellow makes me look pale and sickly. It looks very pretty on the rack 😊
Also, leopard print is such an interesting thing.. it pops up in a different form every year or so. It’s kind of timeless, but also can be kind of not.
love your videos. watch them over breakfast ! would love if you included more body shapes in your example photos :)
Have you seen the crocs sandals? I just got a pair and they’re soooooo comfy. They give docs ~vibes~ but half the price and way more comfort.
Interesting about the Docs.I am 68 and always have had at least one pair for over fifty years. No problem breaking them in.
Color theory is really good for putting outfits together, I think everyone should know the basics of color theory, I think what you meant was the color analysis thing that has been floating around in the past couple of years, in which case yes, that one is definitely stupid
Would love a video on which trends that you *have* gone in on you think you’ll look back on in horror as you age!
LOVE low rise jeans! And I am NOT skinny. It's so comfortable. I tend to wear low rise boot cut jeans with a bit of an oversized shirt (or flowy blouse / tunic -- yes I'm in my 30s). I'm totally into comfort over fashion. But I'm also not into crop tops.
That’s so interesting! I’m the total opposite, lanky girly that loves crop tops and hates low rise! just goes to show it’s not about your body type, it’s about what makes you feel good!
My Dad trainers are literally the only comfy shoes I own😭 I have a pair of gazelles and they just give me the worst blisters
no one could ever stop me… i love my colorful shoes
and i’ll continue to buy more
I was really taken aback by the bubble dresses and skirts but the other day I saw a girl rocking a dark blue dress and it looked SO cute I was even tempted to try and find one hshshhs. Also dad sneakers are amazingggg I have a pair of NB530, they're super comfortable (also I live in a city where you walk A LOT so they're perfect for that) and I feel like I'm slaying whenever I wear them. Oh and butter yellow is lovely but in my case I'm like you, my hair color and skin tone look terrible in it (same with pinks in general)
Never saw those docs and personally I need them. 😍
The barrel pants have been around for a bit so I don’t think they will be a microtrend because they’ve been popular for a bit already but I get not getting them for other reasons.
dad walker 9,000 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"you probably look so chic, but I... look like an idiot"😂😂😂😂 relatable
I like your content
I think color analysis is most helpful when it comes to long term things like hair color and makeup, whereas clothes depends on vibes for me
What’s so funny about the bubble skirts is they were big in the late ‘80’s when I was a kid. Seeing them come back in the 2000’s as an adult was kind of traumatizing lol. Now seeing them back again is just making me laugh because it’s kind of a funny shape, right? 😂
AN ACTUAL STICK OF BUTTER 😆
Love you Carrie!!!
The gap x doen collab was also not size inclusive above an XL so just another reason to not be too excited about it for me 🤷♀️
You have a scaryyyy ad of the movie “the watchers” before your video starts. I’m a ninny but I almost 💩 my 👖
Good morning Carrie happy Thursday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
“I’d look like an actual stick of butter” lmfao ❤😂
Girl I have dark hair and tan skin and butter yellow is one of my worst colors
Low rise is SO UNCOMFORTABLE and never ever will I wear them.
Remember a few years ago when everyone had those Fila sneakers? I tried on a pair at the time and strange as it sounds, they made my big feet look weirdly small...and I didn't like it. Tried on some Sambas several mos ago and found them extremely uncomfortable. Dad sneakers (New Balance) I actually really like. Barrel jeans I also like a lot, but everything else, ugh. I am too old, on me it would look so bad and so "try hard." :( And I am fine w that.
I heard "crank the sass" and immediately hit the like button haha!
I honestly think low rise clothing is so extremely uncomfortable. I have no reason at all to dip my toes in that muddy water! 😂
Ant hauli: anything on the boycott list 🍉❤️
Agreeing with everything you said, then remembering you're a Capricorn as well 😂🫶🏽
Count me out of the low rise jeans trend 😣 I still have nightmares about teenager me trying to sit comfortably in those jeans and trying to avoid my bum crack to show 😟 no thanks! I won’t out myself through that again.
Bubble dresses were THE trend during my university graduation back in 2010 😂
you can pry my dad sneakers / lawn mower 3000s from my cold dead hands 😂😂😂😂 but seriously they are the only sneakers that saved my feet during my trip to europe. the sambas/gazelles/spezials absolutely wrecked me!!!
Leopard print wide leg jeans are today’s version of 2021’s cow print jeans
I feel the EXACT same about the adidas sneakers... they're literally sooo cute but do I really need a ridiculous amount of colorful sneakers
But in the spring trends you were excited for video…didn’t you include colorful sneakers (and specifically gazelles sambas and spezials)? 😂
Can we get a single plus sized reference photo? Makes me sad that all these trends are being portrayed as only for thin people
Or at least more acknowledgment (there was some re: the low rise and micro minis sections) that these trends are ONLY for thin (young) women. For other trends though, I do imagine plus size people are participating who could be shown in the reference photos.
Especially since that’s a demographic that Carrie has built the channel’s brand on, it feels weird that very little of her inspo seems to include larger women/people.
@@littlegreencap28 agree, plenty of these trends would work on anybody if it’s what they are drawn too. And maybe part of why Carrie doesn’t feel drawn to them is because she’s only looking at/pulling inspo that doesn’t match her body type.
And on a slightly different note, if I wanted to exclusively see thinspo pictures I wouldn’t be watching carries channel. The whole point is to see how clothes look on an average/diverse body type.
I 100% agree with you on this video!
I absolutely love colorful Adidas, but I don't need more shoes. I love micro mini skirts, but not on me. I need coverage. Same goes for the backless trend. I love dresses that have an open back, but only ones you can still wear a bra with.
The bubble hem trend actually intrigues me, but I don't think it will look good on me either.
And finally, the low rise everything trend! I wish it will go away already! I used to wear mid rise jeans for years, then covid hit and I came out of the other side unable to wear anything that is not high rise. But now I cannot find a single pair of high rise jeans or shorts at the thrift store! They're all low rise! Skirts and pants are a little better, but I think I'll have to buy my perfect pair of jorts new instead of thrift it.
Yeah I just bought myself a bright colour Puma's ha! But secondhand and I do not really care if they are out of style again by the time they arrive. Got a bright blue/yellow combi in high school which gave me flashbacks.
I used to say that if I participated in the trend already, I am not doing it again! 😂 no mini skirts, pleated minis, low-rise, tied butterfly tops, white eyeshadow, platform fiam sandals....never again!
I love my docs and I’ve had my sambas for 5 years those bitches will always be the most comfortable sneaker. I set trends I don’t worry about them 😊
100% agree with low rise being a big no! and that’s from a gen z-er 😅
I loooove dad sneakers!! And it’s ironic bc my dad never has worn sneakers like those lol idk if those shoes are just a white dad thing or what 😅 but maybe that’s why I think they’re cute!
Maybe the next video should be staples in your wardrobe--items, or categories of items, that you consider to be your personal style.
⭐Do you have a link to your star necklace? I checked your LTK and Amazon store front but couldn't find it!
In the year 2024, for how much we have to pay for things, there is no excuse for companies to be making uncomfortable shoes, especially if those shoes aren’t high heels.
Lol my prom dress was a short bubble dress!!
