I'm 5'0 and I had no idea how polished us shorties could look, great video!

[jiffybishop]

Your entire channel has just became a wardrobe Bible for me. I just graduated college, and am getting ready to start my first "big girl" job in the city. Your outfits are everything I envision myself buying, and this video could not have come at a better time for me to start building my professional wardrobe. I wish I could support your channel for as long as possible!

[yadiranavarro]

You are the GOAT, dude. No one is as thorough, or conscientious of the pieces she chooses, or mindful of our budgets (lol).
You teach me so, so much. I seriously navigate this world as a less busted-looking person because of you. Thank you! 😊🙏🏽

[eileenmann]

So surprised that this video is 2 years old! Everything you showed still looks fresh and current! I’m ready to throw away almost everything in my closet and substitute with all of your fabulous suggestions!!

[Chrissanthumum]

I love your taste. It's simple but chic.

Before you go out and buy these I highly recommended checking out thrift stores. I was able to find a great leather jacket at goodwill for $7, yes, SEVEN DOLLARS! That saved me $50-100

This has been the most comprehensive wardrobe walkthrough I've ever watched. I can't imagine how much effort it took to edit all of this lol. Keep up the great work!!

This has got to be the best 'closet essentials/basics' video I've watched/seen to date. Thank you for always delivering straight-to-the-point and detailed videos, Ms. Louie! I feel that you deserve more subscribers. Love you, Ms. Louie!

[Fashionista]

your videos are so organized!! I love the effort you put in, instead of just talking about fashion you SHOW US what they look like. Your channel is so practical for a normal working woman"compared to the other, more "artsy" or instagram type fashion youtubers haha. Wishing you the best <3
