I love how Converse look with different outfits. Unfortunately I've always found them too narrow on the toebox for me to be comfortable so I can't wear them but always think they look great on others. They are a classic look that will never go out of style.
"we're grown, we're not trying to dress like 20 year olds" THANK YOU like our existence actually isn't about trying to look perpetually young. We've been on the planet longer than you, our clothes span more decades and trends than you
We used to get our cameos from an army/ navy store. Check to see if there are any near you. The selection is crazy❤. Converse and doc martens are my forever shoes
I’m in middle school and converse are not out of style

ALSO ALSO ALSO! Like let us heal our inner child and teenager and wear what we wanted to wear when we couldn’t buy our own shit and reclaim it. Ok I’m done, love you!
As a Gen Z-er myself, I am sick of my generation’s major hypocrisy when it comes to identity. In the same breathe we will preach body neutrality/positivity & then put ourselves down for our body. Or we will tell people to express themselves however they want, but then also change “trends” in the matter of weeks. I remember when I was in high school, trends didn’t change for YEARS. Like ??? I cannot keep up. In reality, the other people my age in my REAL life aren’t like that at all, but the second I get on instagram or tik tok, I can’t escape the worst representations of my generation. NONE of my friends have ever made a comment about me rewearing an outfit or wearing “old” clothes. I have to ground myself a lot though because it’s so easy to get swept into tik tok ideology
very self aware. also it probably has to do with the fact that youth can be insecure because you still don't fully know yourself.. we continually evolve until we die. :-)
True. As a fellow gen Z I can say that I stopped following trends completely because of post COVID fashion mindset of our generation. I'm a proud wearer of mid to high waisted skinny jeans even though they're not trendy now. Baggy pants make me look very short and most of them make some kind of a sound and I hate them, no matter how much my generation loves them.
I have a gen z sibling, very on trend, but I can’t help but seeing everything as passing. Kind stopped riding the wave since the early 2010s. I think there’s a strong difference for teens/kids/YAs in knowing when to put the phone/cpu down. These days, nearly every space is inundated with “influencers” and ads and the whole insta/tt/twitter lifestyle. I grew up when we had dial up, and we were allowed internet for 30 minutes TOPS. You really gotta regulate usage n exposure. That’s something I learned being on the cusps of internet blowing up. Love the innovation, but it really feels like a gateway sometimes lol
I will say that not having a TikTok really closes me off from these so called “trends” or “dated” styles. And I actually really like that. I wear what I want and don’t ever feel the pressure of being “cheugy”. I just feel that a lot of these things are very social media based but not as present in the real life aspect
For me, I tend to avoid very trendy things knowing that as soon as they're in, they'll be out. If it's something I absolutely love that just happens to be trendy for 5 minutes, then I don't care, but I agree--not looking at this stuff on TikTok is def a good thing for me.
Honestly, I think once you get offline you realize that most normal people do not care about trends or if they do they just incorporate it into what they already wear. Especially as adults who usually spend a lot of time curating their wardrobe. What’s trendy just does not really matter lol
as a cottagecore girly, my version of camo or leopard print is a ditsy floral. for me, it’s a neutral and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands, i couldn’t care less if it’s trendy. most of us gen z folks don’t relate to trend-cycling tiktokers either. thanks for this carrie
The converse one is so silly to me. I'm not taking advice from people who wear HOKA's hahahaha Keep on rockin your "outdated" styles Carrie, like you said we're not trying to look 20.
my sister (millenial) was trying to tell me i needed Hokas. i was like hmmmm no. and thats how i feel about most of her 'fashion'. dont get me wrong i follow trends and incorporate ones i like but i see no reason to buy over priced poorly made shoes when I have higher quality ones for various activities (gym, trail running, converse and adidas for casual every day wear, etc). meanwhile her Hokas caused her major foot and ankle problems/pain. yeah. ill keep my shoes, thanks.
same 😭 some of them aren’t my fashion taste, but as a 17 year old that loves fashion, i really hate the whole “trend thing” lol, i’ll wear what i want to!
It’s so weird how they’ll make fun of “older people” for trying to “dress too young” but then tell them their style is “outdated”? It’s like..what do they WANT from us 😂 I like knowing trends bc they can be fun, but I mostly just incorporate a watered-down version of it into my own style/wardrobe. Also they’ll never take my converse OR flannels away!!! lol
I’ve been thinking about this so much lately. I’m almost 30, I genuinely don’t care what 20 year olds think of what I wear. It’s all about me now bb😂 ALSO I will never ever get rid of my pop socket. I do. not. care. if it makes me look ‘old’
I have been wearing Converse since the mid-90s... I never gave them up, and have never I cared if they're "in" or not. They are just my favorites, period. Converse for life!!
She said Converse and camo pants as I’m LITERALLY wearing both lmao. I love the baggier cargo version of camo pants as opposed to the 2016 jogger bottoms because that version feels dated to me
Converse shoes are outdated? Converse??? Are they serious? They're the most comfortable shoes in the world! I have three pairs and I'm never getting rid of them, no matter what the younglins say.
it’s not a “rip off” lol, trends are cyclical, I think we are at a place in fashion where depending on you niche and personal taste, everything is trending and can be made to look stylish, which I think is awesome, but it doesn’t inherently mean that everything is fashionable, even the trendiest, “coolest” piece can be made to look unfashionable depending on styling and other factors
that's just the trend cycle man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i say wear what you want and what makes you comfortable, but things come in and out of popularity all the time.
Trends are fun fashion but they aren't STYLE. I've worn skinny pants, oversized shirts since I saw Aubrey Hepburn wear them. They became part of "my style" and who I am. In fact, I get annoyed when parts of "my style" become trendy. I think everyone has a "core" style. Those pieces never get donated.
Does anyone else take a while to get on trends and then wonder if the thing is still trendy? It took me so long to move away from skinny jeans into straight leg pants, and I think I'm several years late to being confident wearing bucket hats. I bought a bucket hat on clearance then realized people hate them and they only had a brief time in popularity
omg it took me so long to get into really high waist pants and then out of skinny pants... but i discovered that i feel most confident in high waist wide leg pants :) which i used to wear in 5th grade already ironically
Because they somehow look 40 at 22. Honestly I feel bad for them. They will never get to organically see things in fashion they like and they will never go to a kegger. 😢
as gen z myself, the amount of “fuck gen z” “gen z doesn’t want to work” “gen z are tide pod eating furries” boomer esque sentiment coming from millennials does not help lol, poking harmless fun at the styles of the 2010’s- early 2020’s (that we also wore) is not significant enough for the generation claiming to be so much wiser than us to continue making diss tracks and think pieces on why gen z sucks lol, im not going to say gen z is completely innocent, but I know that I have to give grace with the gen alpha kids bc it’s just the cycle that happens with every generation and not something I need to take personally
@@jd3n Completely agree. I get secondhand embarrassment watching people about my age (millennial) critique people for doing the exact same thing that we did, that people always do. Some people are going to be really into fashion and will probably criticize styles that came before. If you like that style, cool, but just move on, don’t blow up at people on the internet about it. To be completely fair to both generations, though, it’s only ever something I’ve seen online. Thankfully haven’t seen or heard someone being rude to anyone in real life
I think it’s interesting how certain trends created other trends. Like I think the braided bang became a thing BECAUSE we all had side bangs/swoop bangs and needed a way to get them out of our faces sometimes. And for the last couple years the trendy jeans have been cropped mom jeans and straight legs jeans because everyone has been wearing blundstones. I’m sure blundstones will be out as soon as wide leg long jeans take over again. They don’t have a cute toe to stick out of your long jeans.
I actually hated the look of blundstones until I saw someone wearing them with flared jeans or maybe it was bootleg jeans! Now I have a pair and realized they surprisingly go with almost anything, even some dresses
I've never seen wearing a flannel around your waist as a trend, it was always that I was too warm and I either didn't have a bag or the bag was too small. Where I live it gets really cold in the morning and hot during the day. Totally agree about the converse lol I hate people say they're dated
When people declare things as “out” it’s merely a desperate attempt to exert some shred of adult power through shallow, superficial means. It displays a lack of awareness, experience and knowledge (aka immaturity).
I love converse but when the sneaker trend hit I realized how UNCOMFORTABLE they are. I can never wear them if I do a lot of walking, the foot pain is just too much.
When you were talking through all of your fashion era (like cheetah print and graphic tees) it made me realize I've been with you for so long!! Since 2015! you're the best :)
Totally agree. Where whatever you want. One thing about GenZ that I don't think I will ever understand is their passion for individuality yet have such strong opinions when others don't look, act, or dress the same as them? Life is too damn hard and short not to wear whatever the hell you want!
Something that Gen Z may not realize, is that not everyone can afford the trend at the time it’s trendy. Sometimes people want to wear past styles because they finally have the finances to purchase items that they desired when they were younger. Live and let live.
Even as a Gen z myself, I find myself constantly feeling werid if I wear something considered "outdated" but I just remember that everything comes back around and in the end, no one really cares what you wear outside of social media. Just wear what makes you feel good and you will look good.
im gen z (on the older side) yet I still seen trends come and go and come back again just from the lifetime that I experienced it's wild. I learned that if I truly love something, I won't let go of it. It will come around again even if it's not trendy anymore. More importantly, it builds your sense of identity to listen to what you really like instead of being persuaded by trends and current times all the time. Also probably have to start building a thick skin because i know in 10 years time the next gen will probably roast me alive with what i wear now so I gotta learn to be unbothered
I dress in a way that makes my inner 16 year old happy. I don't give a shit if some actual 16 year old thinks I look 'cheugy'(who comes up with that term, I friggin hate it!)
Let's be clear about something here: we are adults, we don't care about other people's opinions anymore, it had hurt us enough, we don't do this anymore 😁💕
The people of New Jersey do not appreciate the slander of our beloved leopard print by gen z. They will have to pry this print out of our cold dead extended middle fingers lol
interestingly i’ve seen quite the opposite actually, leopard print is predicted to be trending again in 2024, just not in the way it was trending before, I don’t think prints like leopard and snake are ever going out of style
I'm late Gen X/Xennial, so flannels around the waist (and Converse Chuck Taylors) were peak early-nineties teen for me and I'll never stop. Wear what you like!
I noticed you deleted/made all of your storytime videos private. I totally get that you’ve evolved and changed and that you took a different direction with your channel, but I’ve always loved to go back to them for a marathon - for years now. They were fun and comforting and most importantly, they were the reason I found your channel. I would love for you to consider to make them public again (but of course I understand if you don’t want to) ❤❤
I've heard the camo pants thing, but at the same time some young'uns I follow are saying they love camo. As soon as someone says it's out, someone else will say it's in...like ten minutes later.
Animal print is a neutral for me :) That way I don't have to pay attention if it's on trend or not. I do think that people on tiktop are a bit extreme with their ever changing preferences for this or that. Maybe we shouldn't pay too much attention to that crowd.
I would love a video of current or past trends that you actually don't like.😅😅😅 I had a swoop and I'm traumatized I could never have one again myself. Its like a low rise jean. Not doing that either... I would love your perspective into trends that dont work for you
I'm a 38 year old middle class mom now. I came up working class. I'm able to buy stuff that my middle and high school heart loved. You will pry my converse and leopard print from my cold dead hands.
@@Username0467not true lol I work with teens and spring 2022 I remember the most popular girl in school wore them everyday and the other girls started buying them 😂
Okay, but a flannel around the waist is such a stupid thing to say is outdated. If you're wearing a flannel and get hot, it's a good way to carry it without holding it.
I just turned 50. I live wearing glitter makeup glitter nails. I love my glitter converse sneakers. I have 5 tattoos. Neon colored clothes, my Lisa Frank crocs with gem jibitz, leopard crocs and silver glitter crocs. I live in NJ and obsessed with anything leopard. I have leopard boots, fur coat and clothes. My glam beauty room is hot pink and black.
And this is exactly why I hate the ageism of "update the millennial" videos. Like, we're a generation of 26-42 years old women, why are they treating us like lost kittens just because we're not keeping up with the micro mini trends that come and go in a month? No one has the time for that unless they're 15 and in high school 😂 been there done that, I like being and showing exactly my age, I'm not trying to take off years, so I don't care if I look "aged" or "my age". Why should a grown woman's goal be to not look her age? What's wrong in being old(er)?
Im in my 30s, I don't care about weekly appearing micro trends on tik tok worn mostly by 15-20 year olds. I think this is very much an online disease, people are just dressed however they want IRL, even the younger ones who are most exposed to tik tok consumer culture. Shit costs money no one has nowadays.
Why would generations talking endlessly about sustainability, minimalism, and the evils of consumption be so vulnerable to fads and being trendy? It makes no sense to me. Find your own vibration. Do your own thing. Don’t be a follower. That’s checks all the good conscience boxes without even trying.
I really feel like the whole idea of trends is more of a media thing rather than a Gen Z thing 😭 either that or im just sooo out of touch hahaha but then again...I feel more like a millenial than a gen z girlie hahaha. Its like the 2000- early '03 people are a different breed of gen z (I'll include the '04 kids too)
OMG, I miss my braid era. I used to do sooooo many different kinds and it was great cause i was the only person I knew who did them. It was so much fun
I totally remember you getting hate for not curling the ends of your hair! I was an 80's teen, and I LOVED the Flashdance off the shoulder, style sweatshirt. I had a navy sweatshirt that I cut to be that style, and I wore it to death! I finally got rid of it a few years back, and I miss it!!! I have to say, other than that, I've really never been into fashion too much, but YOU make it SO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm at that point where I don't go by trends. I wear what I like and what I think looks good on me. You inspire me. I'd love to see more of these videos!
I love this perspective, so eye opening. I'm 47 and admittedly quite immature and trendy for being almost 50! But honestly I love the idea of doing whatever you like, I get compliments from women of ALL ages when I do what I love w/ trends and style. Loving camo pants forever and cheetah or leopard can always work (or not work, depending). I am dying laughing about "a call from swoops past", love it. I loathe Converse and always have, though...not gonna lie. I cringe so hard when I see my peers wearing them especially. One of my besties got married in them. Just no!
I love the hair! I don’t follow trends, I wear what I want and I tend to lean towards classic old money….. even though I’m super poor!! Love ya Carrie!!
I’m 41 I wear whatever I like for sure I’m a mom and an old bish so idgaf 😂 my style is sooo eclectic ❤ I agree about the Converse too I’ll be buried in mine 😝
I have never, not once not worn something because someone else told me it was outdated. Ok sis, so dont wear it then. I will happily live my life not contibuting to the decline of the environment just because a child tells me im not cool 😊
I just got obsessed with “the mountain” shirts! I have a tiger, cat, dolphin and a wolf one. I would love to see a “how to style mountain shirts” video if you end up thrifting more. Also would love a part 2 of this video. I know skater skirts are out but I’m bringing them back because they’re such a classic for me, especially a red one. I wore it all the time!
We all fall victim to trend chasing at some point in life, but its funny when you finally get comfortable with yourself and your favorite look and find yourself going in and out of style involuntarily over the years.... I'm a huge concert goer, and have a big collection of band tees I have gotten at shows over the years. I wear them consistently with skirts, jeans, just tights, whatever. From what I hear, that's not "in" at the moment, but hell, who cares? My style of dress is a part of my personality, so I guess I'm just out of style this season.
I know skinny jeans are kind of outdated now, but I will be buried in my skinny jeans. I love that my natural hair style is cute. I have naturally wavy hair and it only like to be wavy at the top. The ends fall straight. 😂 I remember watching Ashley Tisdale on the suite life of Zack and Cody and loving her hair. I wanted those swoop bangs. I can’t deal with leopard print being “outdated.” I love leopard print.
Either they started making them differently or my feet just got old or something but I used to wear Converse all the time everywhere but somewhere along the line they started hurting my feet and I had to stop. Which kinda sucks because I still think they look cute!
As a Gen Z I truly don’t get the obsession with calling what’s in and what’s out. I literally want converses and mountain shirts and fishtail braids so listen not to all those judgmental Jessie’s ❤
I have been wearing black converse high tops since I was 11 and I'm not gonna stop now. As far as a trend I miss, I miss that you could just part your hair however you wanted. I look like Weird Al when I try to part my hair in the middle. That's great for a Halloween costume, but I look more like a 1940s vintage babe with a side part, so that's what I'm sticking with. I really believe that we are all having a worse time by chasing trends and ditching things we like when they get outdated or forcing ourselves to wear styles we dislike. I live in New England and my teenage cousin will not wear a coat because it's not trendy. The children are freezing, we can't go on like this 🙃🙃
Flannel shirts are great for the inbetween weather. If it’s warm you pop it round your waist when it cools you pop it on I’ve loved them since the 90’s! You can bury me in one!
I will be 61 in January and I wear whatever the hell I like. Lol. Now there are some things that I wore in my 20s and 30s that I won’t wear now. Like mini skirts/dresses but that’s only because I have 61 year old legs and it shows. 😂 I am a firm believer in expressing yourself however you want, that includes not just how you dress, but tattoos and piercings and hair color etc. I have 9 tattoos so far. Most of them are pretty old but I do have some new ones picked out to get.
I love to hang out in the area around a major college campus here, the kids all wear what we did 20 years ago. Its very like early 2000s. they even brought back wearing pajama pants in public
I wear flannels all winter long. Skin allergies prevent me from wearing synthetic fibers so all natural clothing it is. I don't care if they are in style because I'm never in style.
Converses are a classic. They'll never go out of style.
seriously. they are my FAV shoe
theyre ugly
I love how Converse look with different outfits. Unfortunately I've always found them too narrow on the toebox for me to be comfortable so I can't wear them but always think they look great on others. They are a classic look that will never go out of style.
I know right! This is absurd
For a girl who needs comfort, these shoes have zero support ☠️
"we're grown, we're not trying to dress like 20 year olds" THANK YOU like our existence actually isn't about trying to look perpetually young. We've been on the planet longer than you, our clothes span more decades and trends than you
That hair looks really good on you!
We used to get our cameos from an army/ navy store. Check to see if there are any near you. The selection is crazy❤. Converse and doc martens are my forever shoes

ALSO ALSO ALSO! Like let us heal our inner child and teenager and wear what we wanted to wear when we couldn’t buy our own shit and reclaim it. Ok I’m done, love you!
Yes yes yes!
I spent my pandemmy buying stuff on poshmark that I had or wanted 15-20 years ago.
YES 👏🏼
My favorite comment of 2023 😂
That’s where I’m at right now! 30s is for exploring who we were at 13.

They are quite social media, fashion house trends more than what people are wearing, or wanting to wear, except maybe if you live in NY city, or LA.
Agree with you. If I want to know what's trending IRL, I look at what is in the trendy shops at the mall.
For me, I tend to avoid very trendy things knowing that as soon as they're in, they'll be out. If it's something I absolutely love that just happens to be trendy for 5 minutes, then I don't care, but I agree--not looking at this stuff on TikTok is def a good thing for me.

yep. going out in public is always a great reminder to my chronically online self that 99% of people don’t give a crap 😂
“We’re grown, we’re not trying to dress like 20 year olds” 🙌 🙌 ❤
aren't 20yr olds jusy trying to dress like elder Mills or GenX anyways......
Graphic t-shirt, leopard midi skirt, and combat boots is still one of my favorite outfits to this day!
Saaaaaaameeeee! Makes me feel like a badass ✌🏼
Me too!
i didnt even know this went out of style!!!
leopard print will never go out of style to me lol, it’s practically a neutral 💀
Same!
I feel like Gen. Z tells us these things are out of style, and then when we donate them, suddenly they’re in style and thrifted 😅
as a cottagecore girly, my version of camo or leopard print is a ditsy floral. for me, it’s a neutral and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands, i couldn’t care less if it’s trendy. most of us gen z folks don’t relate to trend-cycling tiktokers either. thanks for this carrie
Yes, as an older gen z, I wear what I want to wear and what makes me happy. Love that ❤
Love a floral. I'm with you!
I love florals too, especially the millefleurs kind or a really cute, romantic print.. 🤩
You can bury me in my Converse. Trends be damned.
converse are timeless. they’ve never been out of style
The converse one is so silly to me. I'm not taking advice from people who wear HOKA's hahahaha
Keep on rockin your "outdated" styles Carrie, like you said we're not trying to look 20.
my sister (millenial) was trying to tell me i needed Hokas. i was like hmmmm no. and thats how i feel about most of her 'fashion'. dont get me wrong i follow trends and incorporate ones i like but i see no reason to buy over priced poorly made shoes when I have higher quality ones for various activities (gym, trail running, converse and adidas for casual every day wear, etc). meanwhile her Hokas caused her major foot and ankle problems/pain. yeah. ill keep my shoes, thanks.
As a flat footed healthcare worker, I love Hokas for my job. Outside of my job I wouldn’t wear them. They’re definitely not for everyone.
@@lexieedwards6909 when I see anyone in Hokas I assume they work in medical field. Not a bad thing but that's what I think of even if they're 16 haha
Not trend hoppers trying to appropriate the ugliest (and most comfortable) running shoe that’s been around for ages.
@@seltzermint5 Tbh I feel the same way lol
As a 23 year old, I don’t understand why most of these are “going out of style” I still love and wear a lot of these lol 😭 especially the converse
You do you! If you spend your hard earned money on it you’re allowed to F-ing wear it!
same 😭 some of them aren’t my fashion taste, but as a 17 year old that loves fashion, i really hate the whole “trend thing” lol, i’ll wear what i want to!
It’s so weird how they’ll make fun of “older people” for trying to “dress too young” but then tell them their style is “outdated”? It’s like..what do they WANT from us 😂 I like knowing trends bc they can be fun, but I mostly just incorporate a watered-down version of it into my own style/wardrobe.
Also they’ll never take my converse OR flannels away!!! lol
Your hair and makeup in this video are perfection! Also cheers to this, I'm all here for what makes us happy :)
I’ve been thinking about this so much lately. I’m almost 30, I genuinely don’t care what 20 year olds think of what I wear. It’s all about me now bb😂

Baby, that’s just me
where are you hearing all these things Carrie?! if u don't use tiktok you'll be blissfully ignorant, like me 😁

She said Converse and camo pants as I’m LITERALLY wearing both lmao. I love the baggier cargo version of camo pants as opposed to the 2016 jogger bottoms because that version feels dated to me
Gen Z is gonna end up with one collectively approved outfit if they don’t chill with all these fashion rules lol
Converse shoes are outdated? Converse??? Are they serious? They're the most comfortable shoes in the world! I have three pairs and I'm never getting rid of them, no matter what the younglins say.
The best thing is when you don't care about trends. I dress for comfort now and I have never been happier. I love your hair, so cute. 🥰
I don't understand how Gen Z rips off our millennial fashion, and then tells us that we are outdated. They are copying us. Lol
it’s not a “rip off” lol, trends are cyclical, I think we are at a place in fashion where depending on you niche and personal taste, everything is trending and can be made to look stylish, which I think is awesome, but it doesn’t inherently mean that everything is fashionable, even the trendiest, “coolest” piece can be made to look unfashionable depending on styling and other factors
They are ripping us off lol@@jd3n

Carrie, I know you said you're experimenting with hair eras, just wanted to say this one is absolutely stunning
I really like this hair for her. I haven't watched her videos in a year so I only know this one and the long blonde hair but I like the bangs.
Does anyone else take a while to get on trends and then wonder if the thing is still trendy? It took me so long to move away from skinny jeans into straight leg pants, and I think I'm several years late to being confident wearing bucket hats. I bought a bucket hat on clearance then realized people hate them and they only had a brief time in popularity
omg it took me so long to get into really high waist pants and then out of skinny pants... but i discovered that i feel most confident in high waist wide leg pants :) which i used to wear in 5th grade already ironically
Bucket hats are out??? 😮
who cares. i love bucket hats
LMAO @ Converse being outdated. They have been popular for over 50 years. Gen Z is so cute thinking they can just decide they're not cool anymore 🤣
Gen Z’s constant criticism of Millennials is so odd, I never once paid attention to Gen X? Loved the video! ❤
I feel once I hit 40 I decided I didn't care about trends. Like flannel has been popular in my mind since the 90's and always will be
cute. flannel was also popular in the 70's! (boomer here)
Why are Gen-Z so obsessed with us?
They care way too much about what others are wearing, worry about yourself!
Because they somehow look 40 at 22. Honestly I feel bad for them. They will never get to organically see things in fashion they like and they will never go to a kegger. 😢
@@gingerlee726this is a very weird take-I can’t tell if you’re being serious 😭
as gen z myself, the amount of “fuck gen z” “gen z doesn’t want to work” “gen z are tide pod eating furries” boomer esque sentiment coming from millennials does not help lol, poking harmless fun at the styles of the 2010’s- early 2020’s (that we also wore) is not significant enough for the generation claiming to be so much wiser than us to continue making diss tracks and think pieces on why gen z sucks lol, im not going to say gen z is completely innocent, but I know that I have to give grace with the gen alpha kids bc it’s just the cycle that happens with every generation and not something I need to take personally
@@jd3n Completely agree. I get secondhand embarrassment watching people about my age (millennial) critique people for doing the exact same thing that we did, that people always do. Some people are going to be really into fashion and will probably criticize styles that came before. If you like that style, cool, but just move on, don’t blow up at people on the internet about it. To be completely fair to both generations, though, it’s only ever something I’ve seen online. Thankfully haven’t seen or heard someone being rude to anyone in real life
We don't have to throw what we like out the window because of a new trend! The best style is the one your feel comfortable and confident in!
Don’t throw away everything always comes back in style😂
My FAVORITE hair trend was the super dark underneath with almost bleach blonde on top, swoop bangs--obviously.
Simply the best zoey 101 hairstyle. Jamie Lynn made everyone want that look
Omg. I had that hair!!
I even had a streak of black in my swoop bangs.
@@kittyreincat I didn't have the black streak but I had the hair and I still miss it!
i had this!! blonde on top, black beneath, alice cullen cut. i can't.
I had that!!! Love it! May do in 2024!! 😅😊
I think it’s interesting how certain trends created other trends. Like I think the braided bang became a thing BECAUSE we all had side bangs/swoop bangs and needed a way to get them out of our faces sometimes. And for the last couple years the trendy jeans have been cropped mom jeans and straight legs jeans because everyone has been wearing blundstones. I’m sure blundstones will be out as soon as wide leg long jeans take over again. They don’t have a cute toe to stick out of your long jeans.
I actually hated the look of blundstones until I saw someone wearing them with flared jeans or maybe it was bootleg jeans! Now I have a pair and realized they surprisingly go with almost anything, even some dresses
Your hair is so super cute like this I Love it 😍
I’ve been wearing Converse sine I was 15. I’m 52 now. I’ll never give them up 😂 I’ll be a little old lady wearing them.
I've never seen wearing a flannel around your waist as a trend, it was always that I was too warm and I either didn't have a bag or the bag was too small. Where I live it gets really cold in the morning and hot during the day. Totally agree about the converse lol I hate people say they're dated
exactly, how is that a trend 😂 it’s called not wanting to carry your outer layer around when you get too hot
Converse and a flannel around my waist is like a uniform for me 😅
I literally cannot focus on anything, Carrie you are in your era! This color, your hair, outfits, and makeup always gorgeous 💓
When people declare things as “out” it’s merely a desperate attempt to exert some shred of adult power through shallow, superficial means. It displays a lack of awareness, experience and knowledge (aka immaturity).
I love converse but when the sneaker trend hit I realized how UNCOMFORTABLE they are. I can never wear them if I do a lot of walking, the foot pain is just too much.
My grandma used to say her favorite color was leopard print
The Lauren Conrad braid was ICONIC and I still wear my hair like that sometimes!!
Hair looks SO GOOD!
Oh yes
Nah! Never stopped loving converse - the 70’s versions are the best. Definitely fave trainers in my wardrobe
I'm so happy you did this yeeeees!! also, your hair looks amazing!!!
When you were talking through all of your fashion era (like cheetah print and graphic tees) it made me realize I've been with you for so long!! Since 2015! you're the best :)
Totally agree. Where whatever you want. One thing about GenZ that I don't think I will ever understand is their passion for individuality yet have such strong opinions when others don't look, act, or dress the same as them? Life is too damn hard and short not to wear whatever the hell you want!
Something that Gen Z may not realize, is that not everyone can afford the trend at the time it’s trendy. Sometimes people want to wear past styles because they finally have the finances to purchase items that they desired when they were younger. Live and let live.
Even as a Gen z myself, I find myself constantly feeling werid if I wear something considered "outdated" but I just remember that everything comes back around and in the end, no one really cares what you wear outside of social media. Just wear what makes you feel good and you will look good.
So happy to see the return of the swoop! As a 34 year old, I’ve decided that I just could not care less what gen Z thinks is cool.
I would LOVE to see a “Styling Pinterest braids in 2024” video!!
im gen z (on the older side) yet I still seen trends come and go and come back again just from the lifetime that I experienced it's wild. I learned that if I truly love something, I won't let go of it. It will come around again even if it's not trendy anymore. More importantly, it builds your sense of identity to listen to what you really like instead of being persuaded by trends and current times all the time. Also probably have to start building a thick skin because i know in 10 years time the next gen will probably roast me alive with what i wear now so I gotta learn to be unbothered
I dress in a way that makes my inner 16 year old happy. I don't give a shit if some actual 16 year old thinks I look 'cheugy'(who comes up with that term, I friggin hate it!)
Let's be clear about something here: we are adults, we don't care about other people's opinions anymore, it had hurt us enough, we don't do this anymore 😁💕
The people of New Jersey do not appreciate the slander of our beloved leopard print by gen z. They will have to pry this print out of our cold dead extended middle fingers lol
“Cold dead extended middle fingers” 💀💀💀
interestingly i’ve seen quite the opposite actually, leopard print is predicted to be trending again in 2024, just not in the way it was trending before, I don’t think prints like leopard and snake are ever going out of style
I'm late Gen X/Xennial, so flannels around the waist (and Converse Chuck Taylors) were peak early-nineties teen for me and I'll never stop. Wear what you like!
Flannels are a classic they’ll never go out of style ❤
I noticed you deleted/made all of your storytime videos private. I totally get that you’ve evolved and changed and that you took a different direction with your channel, but I’ve always loved to go back to them for a marathon - for years now. They were fun and comforting and most importantly, they were the reason I found your channel. I would love for you to consider to make them public again (but of course I understand if you don’t want to) ❤❤
I've heard the camo pants thing, but at the same time some young'uns I follow are saying they love camo. As soon as someone says it's out, someone else will say it's in...like ten minutes later.
I love flannel shirts. I live in AZ so I use them as jackets during the winter. I've loved them since the 90's.
Animal print is a neutral for me :) That way I don't have to pay attention if it's on trend or not.
I do think that people on tiktop are a bit extreme with their ever changing preferences for this or that. Maybe we shouldn't pay too much attention to that crowd.
I used to have a teal velvet crop top when velvet was all the rage about 5 years ago and I still think about it to this day and wish I kept it 🥲🥲
I would love a video of current or past trends that you actually don't like.😅😅😅 I had a swoop and I'm traumatized I could never have one again myself. Its like a low rise jean. Not doing that either...
I would love your perspective into trends that dont work for you
I'm a 38 year old middle class mom now. I came up working class. I'm able to buy stuff that my middle and high school heart loved. You will pry my converse and leopard print from my cold dead hands.
wait, they're coming for our converse now?? nuh uh they can pry my 848594 pairs of converse from my cold dead hands
I don't think they have been "in style" since 2018 ish if we are being honest here 😅 You do you though!
@@Username0467not true lol I work with teens and spring 2022 I remember the most popular girl in school wore them everyday and the other girls started buying them 😂
I don't really pay attention to trends. If I like it I will wear it
Okay, but a flannel around the waist is such a stupid thing to say is outdated. If you're wearing a flannel and get hot, it's a good way to carry it without holding it.
Also, certain shoes are classics and will never go out of style. Converse, vans, dr. Martin's, birkenstocks, etc.
I just turned 50. I live wearing glitter makeup glitter nails. I love my glitter converse sneakers. I have 5 tattoos. Neon colored clothes, my Lisa Frank crocs with gem jibitz, leopard crocs and silver glitter crocs. I live in NJ and obsessed with anything leopard. I have leopard boots, fur coat and clothes. My glam beauty room is hot pink and black.
your hair looks amazing
And this is exactly why I hate the ageism of "update the millennial" videos. Like, we're a generation of 26-42 years old women, why are they treating us like lost kittens just because we're not keeping up with the micro mini trends that come and go in a month? No one has the time for that unless they're 15 and in high school 😂 been there done that, I like being and showing exactly my age, I'm not trying to take off years, so I don't care if I look "aged" or "my age". Why should a grown woman's goal be to not look her age? What's wrong in being old(er)?
Im in my 30s, I don't care about weekly appearing micro trends on tik tok worn mostly by 15-20 year olds. I think this is very much an online disease, people are just dressed however they want IRL, even the younger ones who are most exposed to tik tok consumer culture. Shit costs money no one has nowadays.
Why would generations talking endlessly about sustainability, minimalism, and the evils of consumption be so vulnerable to fads and being trendy? It makes no sense to me. Find your own vibration. Do your own thing. Don’t be a follower. That’s checks all the good conscience boxes without even trying.
where is your sweatshirt from? I love it!
I really feel like the whole idea of trends is more of a media thing rather than a Gen Z thing 😭 either that or im just sooo out of touch hahaha but then again...I feel more like a millenial than a gen z girlie hahaha. Its like the 2000- early '03 people are a different breed of gen z (I'll include the '04 kids too)
I'm obsessed with Carrie's new haircut and color 😍 she looks incredible 🔥
OMG, I miss my braid era. I used to do sooooo many different kinds and it was great cause i was the only person I knew who did them. It was so much fun
I totally remember you getting hate for not curling the ends of your hair!
I was an 80's teen, and I LOVED the Flashdance off the shoulder, style sweatshirt. I had a navy sweatshirt that I cut to be that style, and I wore it to death! I finally got rid of it a few years back, and I miss it!!!
I have to say, other than that, I've really never been into fashion too much, but YOU make it SO MUCH FUN!!!!
I'm at that point where I don't go by trends. I wear what I like and what I think looks good on me. You inspire me.
I'd love to see more of these videos!
I love this perspective, so eye opening. I'm 47 and admittedly quite immature and trendy for being almost 50!
But honestly I love the idea of doing whatever you like, I get compliments from women of ALL ages when I do what I love w/ trends and style.
Loving camo pants forever and cheetah or leopard can always work (or not work, depending). I am dying laughing about "a call from swoops past", love it.
I loathe Converse and always have, though...not gonna lie. I cringe so hard when I see my peers wearing them especially. One of my besties got married in them. Just no!
I love the hair! I don’t follow trends, I wear what I want and I tend to lean towards classic old money….. even though I’m super poor!! Love ya Carrie!!
I’m 41 I wear whatever I like for sure I’m a mom and an old bish so idgaf 😂 my style is sooo eclectic ❤ I agree about the Converse too I’ll be buried in mine 😝
I have never, not once not worn something because someone else told me it was outdated. Ok sis, so dont wear it then. I will happily live my life not contibuting to the decline of the environment just because a child tells me im not cool 😊
I exactly remember that phase when you wore your Leopard print maxi skirts in 2018. I loved that and imitated it ❤
If you wear what you like and don’t care about trends coming and going, why do you need an archival system for your clothes?
I just got obsessed with “the mountain” shirts! I have a tiger, cat, dolphin and a wolf one. I would love to see a “how to style mountain shirts” video if you end up thrifting more.
Also would love a part 2 of this video. I know skater skirts are out but I’m bringing them back because they’re such a classic for me, especially a red one. I wore it all the time!
Okay the off the shoulder shirts (especially the sweatshirts) with converse were my entire wardrobe. I'll bring those back with you!!!
We all fall victim to trend chasing at some point in life, but its funny when you finally get comfortable with yourself and your favorite look and find yourself going in and out of style involuntarily over the years.... I'm a huge concert goer, and have a big collection of band tees I have gotten at shows over the years. I wear them consistently with skirts, jeans, just tights, whatever. From what I hear, that's not "in" at the moment, but hell, who cares? My style of dress is a part of my personality, so I guess I'm just out of style this season.
I know skinny jeans are kind of outdated now, but I will be buried in my skinny jeans.
I love that my natural hair style is cute. I have naturally wavy hair and it only like to be wavy at the top. The ends fall straight. 😂 I remember watching Ashley Tisdale on the suite life of Zack and Cody and loving her hair. I wanted those swoop bangs.
I can’t deal with leopard print being “outdated.” I love leopard print.
I love converse and I also don't think they can ever be out of style but is it just me or are they not comfortable at all??
Either they started making them differently or my feet just got old or something but I used to wear Converse all the time everywhere but somewhere along the line they started hurting my feet and I had to stop. Which kinda sucks because I still think they look cute!
As a Gen Z I truly don’t get the obsession with calling what’s in and what’s out. I literally want converses and mountain shirts and fishtail braids so listen not to all those judgmental Jessie’s ❤
I have been wearing black converse high tops since I was 11 and I'm not gonna stop now. As far as a trend I miss, I miss that you could just part your hair however you wanted. I look like Weird Al when I try to part my hair in the middle. That's great for a Halloween costume, but I look more like a 1940s vintage babe with a side part, so that's what I'm sticking with. I really believe that we are all having a worse time by chasing trends and ditching things we like when they get outdated or forcing ourselves to wear styles we dislike. I live in New England and my teenage cousin will not wear a coat because it's not trendy. The children are freezing, we can't go on like this 🙃🙃
Flannel shirts are great for the inbetween weather. If it’s warm you pop it round your waist when it cools you pop it on I’ve loved them since the 90’s! You can bury me in one!
I will be 61 in January and I wear whatever the hell I like. Lol. Now there are some things that I wore in my 20s and 30s that I won’t wear now. Like mini skirts/dresses but that’s only because I have 61 year old legs and it shows. 😂
I am a firm believer in expressing yourself however you want, that includes not just how you dress, but tattoos and piercings and hair color etc. I have 9 tattoos so far. Most of them are pretty old but I do have some new ones picked out to get.
I love to hang out in the area around a major college campus here, the kids all wear what we did 20 years ago. Its very like early 2000s. they even brought back wearing pajama pants in public
I wear flannels all winter long. Skin allergies prevent me from wearing synthetic fibers so all natural clothing it is. I don't care if they are in style because I'm never in style.
As an older gen z girl, wear what you want to wear and ignore the foolishness. ✌🏿
I will be 80 and still wear high black converse. My favourite shoes since I was 12 and 18 years later!!!
