I love how she owned that she used to tell people to dress for their age on a regular basis, and now acknowledges that that's stupid. Love to see the growth
@@Jeremy-wp4yh why would something that is appropriate for a 25 year old no longer be appropriate for a 50 year old? What makes something appropriate or inappropriate? Why should someone's opinion on "appropriate" clothing dictate every other person's choices?
@@saxumbonum the same way teenagers dress differently to adults. The same way people dress differently on a date then they do at the office or at home. Don't pretend that you don't know what appropriate means. People also grow up and leave their past behind once they have kids. You don't want to embarrass them by trying to look like them.
Thanks to her show "What Not To Wear" in the 90s, I was one classy looking lady. And I still wear my hair long too. But I no longer dye it. I love my long white hair.
Idk her show was pretty harmful especially cause I watched it as a teen. "Hey, all your friends and family think you look awful. Let's change what you like and dress you how everyone else likes so that people like you better!" I was always so afraid that everyone thought I looked awful all the time and just never told me. I'm autistic and so many clothes are a straight up no go. I very rarely fit the current trends, I love character tshirts and only wear sensory friendly clothes. Took me forever to just be ok with myself!
I’m 50 this year, I have long hair, dress as I please . I eat healthily most of the time , exercise moderately , don’t smoke and only have an occasional drink. But I laugh everyday, lead with kindness and am thankful for the little things. This has been the hardest year for me in a while but I’m working through it. I will not do anything to cover my expressionate face that shows all my emotions - from love, joy, surprise, interest to concern, sadness and even anger. Communication with those around you is key and at times without words, faces are meant to move!
I think she is "aging gracefully" by accepting her age. Constant fight against your age and your body is aging ungracefully to me. Just do what you want in the age you are. Make peace with yourself!
@@rachelanders3581 and i contradicted her, because ich have an other opinion: she is aging gracefully! Let's do the old people have fun, feel free and do the crazy stuff they want.
I'm 53 I don't have to die my hair and I don't have wrinkles, I still look really young 🌱 know one ever KNOWS my real age! The always say I'm twelve years younger! Don't drink or smoke, don't do drugs, eat healthy drink water 💧 exercise, do facial yoga and stay out of the sun! And you will look younger for a very long time!
You are 💯% right. The 100 million dollar question still is...How do you Really learn to "make peace with yourself?" This world & society Really Sucks that it makes so many women become in this battle with oneself! Men need to be brought up to learn to value ALL women at ALL stages in their lives. I think this is the root of why women deem themselves so unworthy as they age, because of the constant messages whether subliminal or outright that society puts upon women, that you are somehow "less than" if you're not youthful any longer. It's a Lot to rise above. Kudos to Stacey & her spirit! I wish Every woman could feel this way!
@@CherylBerryl I'm 53, and it's very possible to look very young at an older age! I never even think of age at all! I drink water 💧 take vitamins, and eat healthy food, stay out of the sun, 😎 exercise and do yoga, and facial yoga! I look good and feel great! It's all in your head you don't have to be old! You can be young at every age! 🙏🏻🌸🌼🌸
Awesome!! :D I'm 3 months away from 45 and I will not stop wearing my hair long (currently down to my butt), nor flaunting my belly ring with crop tops when I go dancing or when I'm around town in warm weather.

My 20’s were a pain filled, my 30s a blur, my 40’s the worst physically, and now my 50’s the most peaceful and happy despite world problems. God got me through each season and I would never want to go back and start over even though I wish I knew then what I know now, even though I’m losing special people each year. I’m not afraid of dying and that makes a big difference- I also have learned my limitations, who is too toxic to keep around, and staying away from stupid diets. Now I eat for energy and exercise for strength. Oh, and grandchildren are the best!
I was struggling with this for about two years straight in my late 20’s from about 27-29 and it was so bad that aging was on my mind at least 3-5 times a day. 30 was creeping up on me so quickly and I could not stand the thought of it. Just a little before 30 I had a realization that it wasn’t getting older that scared me. It was that I hadn’t done the things I actually wanted to do before “getting too old”. As a teen I did a pageant and loved it, but never got back into it because I felt I was “too old”. I stopped cheerleading at 15 because I felt I was “too old” for it. I had always wanted get back into these hobbies, but never knew how and by the time I started thinking about doing it I was already in my late 20’s. I felt life had passed me by. I started researching and found an adult cheer team. I also found a pageant for people my age. I’m thriving. I no longer think about getting older. I just look forward to more opportunities to do the things I love.
Yes!! OMG I feel the same and I’m 26, I’ve felt this way since 18!! And it’s the same feeling of regrets. I’ve saved this comment to look at for motivation to keep living my life how I’ve always wanted to no matter what age, it’s never too late thank you ❤️

"... you're 50...you have to cut your hair short." Thank you. This made me smile. Every once in a while I feel this way, and then some perfect stranger will compliment my hair.
In my family it is different anyways. My aunt, cousins, mom, sister and grandma has all short hair. Always since I can remember. One day when I was a teen my mom argued with me and endup saying "why U need so long always getting ready and for what anyways it's useless" I answered "sorry that I'm the only one in the whole family wearing make up, having long hair and caring about looking good and girly" and then my dad looked at me and said "exactly, thank you" 😂😂😂
I’m going to be 50 on Saturday. I just had my first Curling lesson yesterday and started Disc Golf over a year ago. Took up snowboarding at 40. I have no plans to stop trying new things. If I enjoy it or think it’s cool, I NEVER say, “I’m too old for that!” I just go for it!
@@TheMegaelectronic I’m 50, check my pics. Old? Lolz, don’t think so. Ps, I had enough attention for my looks and now even though I’m still considered attractive even by younger men….it no longer means anything. I know who I am which is so much more than what I look like. See, grasshopper, that’s the joy of maturity.
You are RIGHT ON THE MONEY,friend. Very accurate,very refreshing to hear someone that shares my exact feelings on age. Age is simply a badge of courage & you stated that precisely.💯
I loveee this!!! This is so true. People have made it seem like living after your teens and 20s automatically makes you a fossil or irrelevant or whatever other bs. I’ve stopped believed in having a “prime”. Your “prime” is every day you feel good to just be you
I do not understand why older women “HAVE” to cut their hair short. When I was a little girl, I was always asking my grandma why she does it. Why she doesn’t just grow long beautiful gray hair. She said to me that this wouldn’t be beautiful and it would make her seem inappropriate. Since that day I swore to never cut my hair once it goes gray and I will be keeping that promise til my hair falls out on it’s own 💖
@@alexyssaubrie1606 her growth came at the expense of putting others down that were more mature than her at the time and telling them that what they were doing was “wrong” for their age. That television show definitely shook people up and a lot of them definitely struggles through the process. I distinctly remember her making fun of them for what they would do. I’m sorry but personal growth should not be at the expense of others. And now she realizes that she throws out the rule book that she once was so die hard about. Practice what you preach or don’t say shit at all.
@@alexyssaubrie1606 she only grew when it was convinient for her and couldn't make a bag off of shaming people in this day and age...... that's not how growth works.. that's how personal interest does.
@Amber Hamming I totally understand that, we are all human and we all make mistakes and if we could we would probably make some changes if we could go back in time. But I just feel upset that she has gone back on her word, on her bible that she imposed on sooo many mature woman that were living by their own rules and not by some rule book on what is expected. My argument is that she’s being a hypocrite for saying one thing and then saying and doing something else when it doesn’t benefit her. That’s the only message I’m trying to make clear. It’s like you saying “ everyone your age should have green hair at this age it’s what is appropriate” and then when it’s your turn to dye your hair green you change your mind and don’t do it. When you’ve already convinced others before you. If you preached it there’s some sort of responsibility
Having watched her show years ago where she “made people smaller” as she’d say now (for many of the people on the show), it’s so refreshing to see she’s moved beyond that mindset of strict fashion rules!
@Emma S. The commenter said “looks as good” they didn’t say “looks as young”. I believe anyone can look as good at any age with a good heart and some humble confidence 👏🏼
She's so young on the inside and she looks great! I can see the freedom she's allowed herself to have with every breathe she takes. It's amazing to watch! I want to be like that when I'm older. :)
She’s not young on the inside, this is toxic positivity. She is her age, and it’s completely fine. She is her age on the inside. It’s not a bad thing to not be young which is the entire point of this video
Good to see you Stacy. You look wonderful. And I agree with you about needing to cut my hair bc I have long hair and I’m over 70. I need to be who I am not what somebody else I don’t even know and doesn’t know me to be told how to wear my hair bc I’m older. Go girl!
Love this!! Everytime it comes up in conversation that I'm almost 30, people are always so shocked, but reassure me that it's a good thing and that someday, I'll be glad I look younger. On many levels, I find this disturbing: Why would it be a bad thing if I were to look my age? Haven't I earned these years? Am I inherently more valuable up society as a young woman than if I were older? I know very few people actually think that outright, but the underlying concept is there.
how was that "gracefully"? She was angry about this stupid saying of "aging gracefully". And she's right, you just age, it's not graceful or ungracefully.
It’s great she feels this way, But she made a lot of money telling vulnerable women did they couldn’t live that life and they had a dress to fit a standard. Being on a UA-cam channel is not enough to change the harm she’s done. I really hope she’s reached out to all the people she actively harmed on “what not to wear” in order to make money. If she has not it really says that she believes that she deserves to age however she feels comfortable and do whatever feels good in her body but other people do not because saying anything different on TV or on the Internet is not the same as reaching out to the people that you harmed personally and making amends.
Do you not think reaching out to each individual person is a bit much? Honestly I think it'd be a little selfish and egotistical of her to think those people would ever want to hear from her again, even for an apology. I'd think she was just doing it to look good, or for publicity, or literally any number of reasons, but I wouldn't think she actually cared at all. It'd probably just make me feel even worse tbh. You would want to forget about that experience and that period of your life, not hear that Stacey herself hasn't even forgotten about you. Also she isn't trying to erase her past or anything, she just feels absolutely terrible about making a lot of money telling vulnerable women they have to dress a certain way to be acceptable. And because she feels so terrible she seems to spend almost all of her time talking about it and speaking out about positivity and self expression and having fun now. She is combating the negativity she spread by spreading as much positivity as she can instead, I literally don't know what more this woman could do to take responsibility for her actions, seems she's already very much on top of that.
I really like that line about there being no such thing as “aging gracefully” That term has never sat right with me as it applies some weird character value to how you age which as far as I understand is mostly due to your genetics and out of your control.
Maybe that term centers around the idea of mentally accepting aging and not to be chasing after youth but welcoming the wisdom and life lessons that older age brings.
Exactly, my best friend drinks, doesn’t eat healthy and doesn’t exercise looks 20 (she’s 34) me on the other bad take care of my self and look like her mom !
I love this! I loved watching “What not to wear” in my thirties…. No I’m 50. It’s so refreshing to hear you say this. I always respected your fashion sense back then. Thanks for aging gracefully and boldly with me. Let’s do this!
Yasss sis thank u for this I have always said we should never be in a box no matter what age be beautiful at any age and do what makes us happy ladies we all kick ass at all ages ❤️ 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
i use to LOVE that makeover show! also cutting hair short is good gor most older 50+ women because their hair is thinner and flatter and long hair weighs it down and short hair goves fullness and volume. But stacy has thick full hair so she can still pull off long hair. It's not about appropriate, it's about what FITS u best. And accentuates ur best features: universally good features: balanced symmetry, clear skin, etc...
this is such a big step from What Not to Wear! i remember really not liking that show as a kid tbh, it really messed with my sense of self-expression. so this refreshing new take she has healed my inner child a bit.
My mom turned 50 just recently, and she's probably the most active I've ever seen her. She goes out every month to go on hikes up mountains, and she goes on long walks with me outside for exercise. She likes doing yoga and zumba danced becaude she finds them enjoyable. Just a few days ago, I went on a hike with her and my brother, and she looked so strong while doing it. I love seeing her being happy and doing all these things while not letting her age dictate the way she should look or act.
We totally need more "live and let live" actitudes towards people's appearance. You can like or dislike whatever or think x or y is appropriate or not, but you do you and let other people do themselves in peace.
Expressing who you are and how you feel is ageless! The time that older people looked like beige binn bags is over! You look and vibrate the same way a 25 year old does, you are gorgeous and a great example💃thank you for inspiring !
Perfect timing for this video! Just today at work a 50-year-old lady with her gray and silver long hair hair down was rocking it in her loose fitted blouse, short shorts and wedge sandals. She carried herself with pride and was all out beautiful.
Awe, this brought me back. Watching she and Clinton surprise unknowing (and sometimes unwilling) "What Not To Wear" projects on TLC before I was old enough to even have a style.
The worst thing in life is using the time you have to regret stuff you haven't done or can't do. The best people know how to take advantage of every situation. When you're old, you can get away with so much more! Roll with it. People also respect you.
I think there is such a thing as aging gracefully. My dad said it was important. For example, my grandma (his mother) every since he was a baby constantly worried about aging/death. She was constantly sensitive about everything on that. But, my grandpa, aged gracefully. He accepted every stage at life until the very end. He always helped his neighbors (most were older) with groceries, laundry, giving rides, & much more, since he had time & money. When he was middle aged, he traveled to help teach students his wisdom. When he was young, he made a mark in us army. When he was a kid, he was in the orphanage with his brother and sister, & always wanted to help his baby sister when he could hear her crying in the other room. I think keeping yourself together & healthy in a way that's you & yourself, is aging gracefully. I hope I can do that.
I love, admire, and respect this growth so much. Stacy would get a lot of heat on What Not To Wear for some of her comments but I love that she acknowledges where she’s come from being so different from where she is now.
I've always loved this woman's attitude about life in general, that she was willing to learn...she has NEVER played small... I don't do that either. I still wear pigtails if it suits what I'm doing and where I'm going. And I don't play things small... I'm 68, and for the last five years I have started singing solos in church, at baptisms, funerals, and even on the sidewalk if I feel like it. The song in heart rightnow is "I Like Life" from the movie "Scrooge"...
Yesssssss, I remember watching the “StyleLikeU” when I was younger and i ALWAYS searched up different things to try and find it! I literally was thinking about it the other day! So happy to finally find it after all these years again! 😭
"What are we doing with this next 40 years? Going to boohoo for not being 25?"
Probably drowning, polar caps melting and all that
She probably won't live another 40 years at her age. Sad but true. Use your time wisely.

There definately is an age element to dressing. Most of it comes down to what's appropriate.

@@alexyssaubrie1606 her growth came at the expense of putting others down that were more mature than her at the time and telling them that what they were doing was “wrong” for their age. That television show definitely shook people up and a lot of them definitely struggles through the process. I distinctly remember her making fun of them for what they would do. I’m sorry but personal growth should not be at the expense of others. And now she realizes that she throws out the rule book that she once was so die hard about. Practice what you preach or don’t say shit at all.
@@joeljuarez8620 big ass FACT😏🤯🥸😎🤓🥱
@@alexyssaubrie1606 she only grew when it was convinient for her and couldn't make a bag off of shaming people in this day and age...... that's not how growth works.. that's how personal interest does.
@Amber Hamming I totally understand that, we are all human and we all make mistakes and if we could we would probably make some changes if we could go back in time. But I just feel upset that she has gone back on her word, on her bible that she imposed on sooo many mature woman that were living by their own rules and not by some rule book on what is expected. My argument is that she’s being a hypocrite for saying one thing and then saying and doing something else when it doesn’t benefit her. That’s the only message I’m trying to make clear. It’s like you saying “ everyone your age should have green hair at this age it’s what is appropriate” and then when it’s your turn to dye your hair green you change your mind and don’t do it. When you’ve already convinced others before you. If you preached it there’s some sort of responsibility
I love her! I saw her on the street once in NYC and I said “Stacey!” she looked at me and smiled.
I miss seeing her on TV every week. Her fashion sense was marvelous on her show. Please come back. ❤👍
Having watched her show years ago where she “made people smaller” as she’d say now (for many of the people on the show), it’s so refreshing to see she’s moved beyond that mindset of strict fashion rules!
I love her thank you for standing up for women and us aging and accepting ourselves love you girl
She still looks as great as I remember her on TV. I always loved how she kept those grey streaks in her hair.
@Emma S. still beautiful
@Emma S. The commenter said “looks as good” they didn’t say “looks as young”. I believe anyone can look as good at any age with a good heart and some humble confidence 👏🏼
She's gorgeous. And I love the way she took it all off to be comfy and the way she's sitting on the chair at the end.
Yes!!! In a world that can make you feel so small it's everything to own your space and feel big. It's a joy unmatched
She's so young on the inside and she looks great! I can see the freedom she's allowed herself to have with every breathe she takes. It's amazing to watch! I want to be like that when I'm older. :)
She’s not young on the inside, this is toxic positivity. She is her age, and it’s completely fine. She is her age on the inside. It’s not a bad thing to not be young which is the entire point of this video
she is the age she is, and she is proud of it, she is being herself and thinking for herself and not conforming to societies flock of sheeples ideas!
This is who I want to be like. She has always been someone I looked up too. She's beautiful and such an amazing personality
I'll be 49 this year and I still feel, look and dress like I'm in my early 30's. Forever young!❤
Nope
@@ThePsychodad69 No one asked for your opinion.
49?! Get out of here! 😁🤭 I thought I was doing alright for 29 😳😭 it's true though! Mind over matter 😌👌🏽
Yesss!!!
I'm in my mid-30s and I still feel, (mostly)look and dress; and, much to my husband's chagrin, act like I'm 17. Lol
I am so happy to hear you say this.
This is so important. I am so grateful to her. Our lives do not end at 25.
Love Stacey London. Love to see her around on the internets.
Yes! Haven’t seen her in awhile. This video made my day!
My eyes were glued to the shoes and my ears to her words. That’s graceful!
She's been my style icon since the beginning of what not to wear. I still have her book
been fw her for her style, now i fw her mindset 🙌🏽
Good to see you Stacy. You look wonderful. And I agree with you about needing to cut my hair bc I have long hair and I’m over 70. I need to be who I am not what somebody else I don’t even know and doesn’t know me to be told how to wear my hair bc I’m older. Go girl!
Oh this makes me feel sane again! Thank you!
Wow, look at her, definitely a style inspiration for my next decade.
This made my day! Thank you 😊
An inspiration.
An icon.
I love her✨✨
Love this. I’m nearly 27 and have been feeling like my life is over at 30.
Best years ahead. Please enjoy them 💜
Yeah 30s are the best.
Oh my dear just treasure the age that you are 30, 40, 50 and beyond!
Same. Im 28 and freaking out. We have such an ageist culture in the west
@@_1mb I was like this but I'm thankful to be turning 30. Alot if ppl don't make it to this age
We stan character growth! I hope everyone who loved WNTW can follow her lead and realize how harmful some of what she used to say was ❤
Shes beautiful, i want to look like her when i grow older
Totally agree and it makes me cross when other 'judge' it's not their lives, not their business
Love this!! Everytime it comes up in conversation that I'm almost 30, people are always so shocked, but reassure me that it's a good thing and that someday, I'll be glad I look younger. On many levels, I find this disturbing: Why would it be a bad thing if I were to look my age? Haven't I earned these years? Am I inherently more valuable up society as a young woman than if I were older? I know very few people actually think that outright, but the underlying concept is there.
“There’s no such thing as aging gracefully” says the woman aging incredibly gracefully
Exactly
how was that "gracefully"? She was angry about this stupid saying of "aging gracefully". And she's right, you just age, it's not graceful or ungracefully.
she is just ageing, good or bad, she is just ageing. there is no 'ungraceful; way to age.
It’s great she feels this way, But she made a lot of money telling vulnerable women did they couldn’t live that life and they had a dress to fit a standard. Being on a UA-cam channel is not enough to change the harm she’s done. I really hope she’s reached out to all the people she actively harmed on “what not to wear” in order to make money. If she has not it really says that she believes that she deserves to age however she feels comfortable and do whatever feels good in her body but other people do not because saying anything different on TV or on the Internet is not the same as reaching out to the people that you harmed personally and making amends.
Yes I was hoping that someone else would remember that too
Came for this comment !
Who is she & what has she done?
Yes I had the same thought I remember her from that show and would tell people you shouldn’t wear that oh wow the irony
Do you not think reaching out to each individual person is a bit much? Honestly I think it'd be a little selfish and egotistical of her to think those people would ever want to hear from her again, even for an apology. I'd think she was just doing it to look good, or for publicity, or literally any number of reasons, but I wouldn't think she actually cared at all. It'd probably just make me feel even worse tbh. You would want to forget about that experience and that period of your life, not hear that Stacey herself hasn't even forgotten about you. Also she isn't trying to erase her past or anything, she just feels absolutely terrible about making a lot of money telling vulnerable women they have to dress a certain way to be acceptable. And because she feels so terrible she seems to spend almost all of her time talking about it and speaking out about positivity and self expression and having fun now. She is combating the negativity she spread by spreading as much positivity as she can instead, I literally don't know what more this woman could do to take responsibility for her actions, seems she's already very much on top of that.
Exactly, m gonna be very iconic n cool even in my 70s, totally yassified 💅
I learned so much in regards to my personal style from What Not To Wear. Pleasant surprise to hear Stacy’s wisdom so many years later ❤️
This is a whole new her and I’m so here for it.
I really like that line about there being no such thing as “aging gracefully” That term has never sat right with me as it applies some weird character value to how you age which as far as I understand is mostly due to your genetics and out of your control.
Maybe that term centers around the idea of mentally accepting aging and not to be chasing after youth but welcoming the wisdom and life lessons that older age brings.
I always thought it was about still taking care of yourself as you age: eating healthy, staying fit and mobile etc.
Let's reclaim the term then !
Exactly, my best friend drinks, doesn’t eat healthy and doesn’t exercise looks 20 (she’s 34) me on the other bad take care of my self and look like her mom !
It means not trying to be what you aren't, getting botox and plastic surgery, loving the roles youve grown into, etc.
Love this so much. 46 soon and don’t feel it & also have long hair! Thank you
Same
Remember… it was a SHOW People…usually tv show like those it’s for entertainment and NOT to be taking serious!!
Seriously. If being on the show was going to ruin lives...do not go on the show! Stay home and cozy and avoid the trauma.
I love this! I loved watching “What not to wear” in my thirties…. No I’m 50. It’s so refreshing to hear you say this. I always respected your fashion sense back then. Thanks for aging gracefully and boldly with me. Let’s do this!
Yasss sis thank u for this I have always said we should never be in a box no matter what age be beautiful at any age and do what makes us happy ladies we all kick ass at all ages ❤️ 🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
i use to LOVE that makeover show!
also cutting hair short is good gor most older 50+ women because their hair is thinner and flatter and long hair weighs it down and short hair goves fullness and volume. But stacy has thick full hair so she can still pull off long hair. It's not about appropriate, it's about what FITS u best. And accentuates ur best features: universally good features: balanced symmetry, clear skin, etc...
Me, is 30 turning 31 soon, feeling young for the first time in a few years. Lmao
You are young in your 30s!! Enjoy every moment. Your 40s will be fine too! Fun & more freedoms. Your 50s...is the who gives a damn decade 😁
I was wondering where the fuck i knew her from
this is such a big step from What Not to Wear! i remember really not liking that show as a kid tbh, it really messed with my sense of self-expression. so this refreshing new take she has healed my inner child a bit.
My mom turned 50 just recently, and she's probably the most active I've ever seen her. She goes out every month to go on hikes up mountains, and she goes on long walks with me outside for exercise. She likes doing yoga and zumba danced becaude she finds them enjoyable. Just a few days ago, I went on a hike with her and my brother, and she looked so strong while doing it. I love seeing her being happy and doing all these things while not letting her age dictate the way she should look or act.
“We don’t age gracefully”
Cher: **exist**
Me: um I beg to differ 😅
Thats surgery and money dude
I love her hair I like how she thinks. It makes it easy to acknowledge and be comfortable in your age skin & body
We totally need more "live and let live" actitudes towards people's appearance. You can like or dislike whatever or think x or y is appropriate or not, but you do you and let other people do themselves in peace.
Expressing who you are and how you feel is ageless! The time that older people looked like beige binn bags is over! You look and vibrate the same way a 25 year old does, you are gorgeous and a great example💃thank you for inspiring !
Thank you...that seems so small when these words mean so much....
Being humble and meek will always be the most respectful.
Things have changed a lot since the 90s and 2000s. Good to see Stacey has adapted and grown with the times. She's become such a wonderful lady.
not playing small in a world that always makes you feel that way… that quote hit me just beautifully said
I absolutely adored this short and this woman
This is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment
Perfect timing for this video! Just today at work a 50-year-old lady with her gray and silver long hair hair down was rocking it in her loose fitted blouse, short shorts and wedge sandals. She carried herself with pride and was all out beautiful.
Wow, stunning, and that attitude is equally dazzling! Love this woman! 👏🏼💗💪🏼
I've missed her! So good to see her again. And that ending line really got me.
she's so gorgeous omg ♥️♥️♥️♥️ and happy and intelligent and confident and ugh honestly, goals
OMG I haven't seen Stacy in such a long time. She's still the same. I was a fan then and still are. Loved watching you and Clinton.
More power to you.❤👍❤ I love how you tell it like it is. 😊 Thank you. Take care and stay safe. 💋
You are SO beautiful!! And this message is Spot On!!❤👍👍👍
Awe, this brought me back. Watching she and Clinton surprise unknowing (and sometimes unwilling) "What Not To Wear" projects on TLC before I was old enough to even have a style.
Love this❣️ I always felt that my spirit is young and I allow myself to be the expressive being that I am. ❤️
The worst thing in life is using the time you have to regret stuff you haven't done or can't do. The best people know how to take advantage of every situation. When you're old, you can get away with so much more! Roll with it. People also respect you.
LOVE THIS LADY!!! She’s still stylish 🔥👏🏾💘
This is the Stacy that lives in my head 💯
Obsessed with this interview and this woman!
Truth!! Why does our society give people an expiration date?
I think there is such a thing as aging gracefully. My dad said it was important. For example, my grandma (his mother) every since he was a baby constantly worried about aging/death. She was constantly sensitive about everything on that. But, my grandpa, aged gracefully. He accepted every stage at life until the very end. He always helped his neighbors (most were older) with groceries, laundry, giving rides, & much more, since he had time & money. When he was middle aged, he traveled to help teach students his wisdom. When he was young, he made a mark in us army. When he was a kid, he was in the orphanage with his brother and sister, & always wanted to help his baby sister when he could hear her crying in the other room. I think keeping yourself together & healthy in a way that's you & yourself, is aging gracefully. I hope I can do that.
I just love this lady. She’s so freaking cool
I love, admire, and respect this growth so much. Stacy would get a lot of heat on What Not To Wear for some of her comments but I love that she acknowledges where she’s come from being so different from where she is now.
I've always loved this woman's attitude about life in general, that she was willing to learn...she has NEVER played small... I don't do that either. I still wear pigtails if it suits what I'm doing and where I'm going. And I don't play things small... I'm 68, and for the last five years I have started singing solos in church, at baptisms, funerals, and even on the sidewalk if I feel like it. The song in heart rightnow is "I Like Life" from the movie "Scrooge"...
I’ve always admired this woman. ❤️
I was wondering where she was and how she is doing. Good to see her still at it. She looks great.
Yesssssss, I remember watching the “StyleLikeU” when I was younger and i ALWAYS searched up different things to try and find it! I literally was thinking about it the other day! So happy to finally find it after all these years again! 😭
