    Thank you for the great suggestions. I have tried your idea of wearing nude shoes and it works! I am 71, 5'3" tall, and have just lost 75 pounds. I have gone from a size 22 to a size 12. I haven't been this weight in over fifty years. It is so exciting having choices and getting to know the new me. So watching your videos gives me wonderful ideas on what to buy. And, you are fun to watch as well. I look forward to your next video.

    Loved your video, the information is so useful :) I also love the sprinkle of humour you are adding to your videos lately, I think that is important so that we can approach our dressing time and all it entails, with a positive sense of humour and fun!! I love you Chi for being you and the work you do. Thank you!

      I agree that was excellent, Chi. I’m 5’3” and can’t wear heels much. Also need straps.
      Thank you for your humor, skill and great delivery.🌻

    Chi, all these tips are tried and true! I used to have most of my shoes black. Your videos introduced nude shoes to me. They are really game changer. I have them in boots, in close toe dress shoes, and in open toe sandals. They make dressing a lot easier as they go with everything and make my legs look longer. I have other colors of shoes too! For fun and casual wears. Your tips make my life simpler and more fun! Thank you!

    Chi, you nailed it with this video! I laughed at the 5'4", 5'4", 5'4" echo! I have those same Cole Haan flats but in black and they are so comfy. I hate square toed shoes, they look like from that old movie "The Witches" who wore square toed shoes because they didn't have toes...

    I've learned so much about fashion since watching your videos! I'm 5 foot 0. I've learned to wear nude shoes most of the time. I now own numerous nude shoes in all styles and heel heights. I've just ordered a pair of nude espadrille sling back sandals to wear with skirts and my summer white jeans. Black shoes or boots only with black pants. The shoe most definitely makes or breaks the outfit.

    I am a petite with long legs but I think that would also help those with short legs. Flats that have no extra details and cover most of the foot make my legs look even longer. Appliqués usually interrupt the line and shorten it.

    As a newer subscriber, I am loving ALL of your videos! I have MS which has given me ‘foot-drop’. I was heartbroken when I had to give up my heels! Thank goodness that we’re in a time where there are so many fashionable flats styles from which to choose! I only have one pair of nude colour shoes. It is definitely time to invest in some more! Love your humour too! ❤🥿❤

    Chi I just wanted to let you know I just got my first order from your store and it is FANTASTIC. For the first time in my life I can wear a midi dress - an actual midi dress!! - that isn't trailing on the floor and fits me perfectly! I could genuinely cry I am so happy with my whole order.
    Thank you for all the work you have put in for us - the amazing UA-cam videos, education, resources, and your own business which has helped us petite women have better opportunities. I can honestly say you've had a massive impact on my knowledge and wardrobe and I have hope now I can curate a wardrobe that fits me well and makes me feel confident! Thank you so so much!

    The black shoes + black tighs trick works also with other colors (navy, dark red, brown, pink for that matter...).
    And another tip: avoid shoes / boots with loose shaft or a lot of volume/accessoires at the ankle - same reason like with the ankle strap: you don't want anything to break up the line. :)

    These tips have been so helpful! I am 66 and can no longer wear even a tiny heel due to foot pain. But I have short legs and large feet, so flat shoes can look dreadful on me, and because of this I haven't worn a skirt or dress in years. In fact I don't even own any! But I'm going to try your suggestions, and hopefully get back into wearing skirts. Also, I think nude shoes look so glamorous! I had a pair years ago, but I had forgotten about them. Thank you x

    Thank you for the tips on flats. I'm 75 and don't have the balance I used to have, so the need for flats is real. The orthopedic specialist who replaced my knees advised me not to fall. But I don't want to look frumpy. I'm willing to pay for well engineered shoes though the lace up ugly shoes are beyond the pale.
