Stacy,

Ever since I first watched What Not To Wear, you have been an incredible inspiration to me. I fell in love with the show, for the hilarious remarks, the craziness, and the fun of it all. Then I started to see how many people you have changed. My favorite became seeing the transformation. So many people have gotten so much out of the experiences. You have one of the coolest jobs ever, and man you are doing an incredible job with it. I love everything you do; you take on so many challenges!

You, Stacy, have helped so many people! Not just on the show, but everywhere. Even here on Twitter! I find it so incredible, kind, and amazing that you take the time to write to all of us! I remember one time you said to someone on Twitter: “Just be who you are, love who you are, do your best and be kind. Everything else will take care of itself. :)” That totally touched my heart! Then I said to you how incredible that was, and how amazing you are! I didn’t expect a reply, but you said, “And so my Dear, are you.” That made me smile for days Stacy!! Days! I felt amazing.

It is great to finally be able to talk to the person that I have always idolized from behind the TV screen! You, Stacy, are the one of the greatest role models a girl could ever have. Ever!! I struggle so much with my confidence, and you don’t know it but you have helped me tremendously! Just by watching you and taking in the things you say, it makes me try to be a better person. I feel more and more confidence every day, and a lot of it is thanks to YOU! You showed me that everyone is special. Everyone is beautiful! I needed that! You are a hero. You are strong, confident, and an amazing person. I hope to be as great as you in the future. Words can only skim the surface of describing you Stacy. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Love,

Andrea. :)

(Hello_Andrea!)

I have never known anybody like Stacy London. She inspires me everyday to look my best and love myself and be the best “me” that I can be. When I started highschool I wasn’t very confident in myself and I was very shy, and didn’t dress that great, but when I started watchin WNTW Stacy and Clinton taught me how to love my body and dress it well. I had those days where I really didn’t want to go to school, it felt like people were always staring at me and making me feel like I wasn’t pretty. I used to start beliving them that I wasn’t pretty or good enough to do anything. You showed me that I can make my dreams happen and that I should love and respect myself , no one else can be me but me. When I look in the mirror now I see a beautiful, strong, confident, loving girl staring back at me, who also inspires to have a “Shut up” wardrobe. We can change the world every time we’re a bit nicer to someone else. :)

Stacy you are like a big sister and best friend to me and I would love to meet you one day and be able to talk to you in person, it would be a dream come ture! There is no one else in the WORLD like you and I can’t thank you enough how much you inspired and changed my life. I LOVE YOU STACY LONDON!!<3<3

Love, Shreena <3

There have been many mornings these past few years where I woke up just absolutely not wanting to go to school. EVERYONE does that; but the question is, do all the other people have a role model to think about that can brighten their day and put a smile on their face all the time?! Stacy, anytime I think about what a positive and confident person you are, and how lucky I am to have someone like that, it instantly makes my day 10x better!! You’re attitude and outlook have truly changed MINE. It’s amazingly unbelievable, so thank you!!!

Love, Krista

I can’t articulate how much you mean to me and how much you’ve done for me. I’m going to try, though, and hopefully it comes out okay. You’re such an amazing, warm, friendly person who genuinely cares about what you tell me and others. It amazes me how you can be so kind and wonderful to someone you’ve never even met before, and how you can put a smile on my face whenever you send me a message. Sure, you’re a fashion expert, stylist, and co-host of the most amazing show on television, but you’re really so much more than that to me. So many celebrities don’t bother to read what their fans write them. So many celebrities have assistants answer their fan mail or tweets. But not you. You take the time out of your already hectic schedule to read what your fans write, and to reply to them yourself. You don’t have assistants answer your tweets for you, rather you write to your fans yourself. You even sent us autographs, took time to personalize each and every one of them according to the individual who was to receive it, and sent it to us. Most people wouldn’t have sent us autographs, they would’ve just said, “Oh, I’m too busy” or, “Not now”. But you’re not like most people. You not only sent, but personalized each and every persons’ autograph. People like you, Stacy, are rare, and come around once in a blue moon. You show people that they don’t have to be a blonde with blue eyes who’s six feet tall and a size 2 to be beautiful. You show people that they don’t have to be in that box that the media has created to be beautiful. You show us that beauty comes in every shape and size imaginable, and that it’s not specific to just that box, but rather that everyone is beautiful because they are themselves. You’ve showed me that, and I can’t thank you enough. You’ve taught me to be confident in myself, and to hold my head up high. You’ve told me things that I will never forget. You’ve been such an amazing person to me, and for that, Stacy London, I can’t thank you enough.

                                                 Your Twitter Pal:)

It’s only every so often that someone special comes around, someone that can always brighten your day and make you instantly feel better about yourself. Well, Stacy, you are truly one of those people. You have honEstly changed my life so much in these past few months and I don’t know where I would be without you. Not only has my fashion improved DRASTICALLY, but I also have you as a huge inspiration in my life. My friends and family all know you are my hero, and forever will be. Whenever I go out, I just can’t help but think “That person needs Stacy!” or if someone looks fab, I’ll usually let out a “SHUT UP” or “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!” You are definitely the most beautiful person on the inside and out. You rise above all of the glitzy celebrities who could really care less about their fans. In taking the time to communicate or even send autographs, you have shown once again just how truly amazing and incredible you are. I don’t think words can ever describe how much you mean to me and how much I’d like to thank you for making me a better, more confident person, but here it goes..

Stacy, I love you and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me who I am today and I really, really hope we get to meet in the near future.

Love always,

Ashley Broder (SHUTUPitsASH)♥

Stacy:

I know I’ve only been on twitter for a short, few weeks…but I have been trying to follow you for years because you are truly a one-of-a-kind individual. It’s really hard to explain all the things you and WNTW have brought to my life. For once, I’m starting to smile more, look more put together, lose weight, and just try and be happy for myself and every person I care about. While I know you would still probably scoff at a lot of items I have in my closet; more importantly, I know you would see that I am trying to be my best. It is a really hard world out there, but somehow having a beautiful and honest piece of you in it makes it seem a little better. God bless you!

Much Love,

Leah (lkds7)

P.S. I know this isn’t a lot because you have touched my life so much, but I will be forever grateful. <3

Stacy,

As you know, I’m absolutely horrible when it comes to articulating my feelings, so please bear with me! :)

I don’t know if I will ever be able to fully convey just how thankful I am for all of the advice and encouragement you’ve given me.  You are truly an inspiration to me.  My world would be so much darker without you in it.  Your caring words and encouragement have gotten me through days where I felt completely hopeless.  Talking to you has truly been one of the best things that has ever happened to me.  My talks with you mean the WORLD to me.  Although I’m having a hard time with things right now, I don’t feel quite as lost and alone because I know I can always count of you to be there for me with your kind, caring, & encouraging advice.  And it’s comforting to know I have someone who cares about me and who is rooting for me.  You are the reason I was able to build up enough confidence to start going out with my friends again, like I used to.  You told me, “Kiddo, NEVER let your wardrobe keep you from going OUT. Live your life to the fullest no matter WHAT (even if you wear a tee)!”  I read this quote all the time in an attempt to remind myself that just because I’m having a bad body image day, it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t allow myself to live my life.

I also don’t think I would have made it to my boyfriend’s date party without your kindhearted pep talks and FAB fashion advice. :) I remember actually feeling pretty that night and it was the first time I had felt that in a really long time.  Even though things aren’t great right now, it helps just knowing that you believe in me.  I have this quote you said to me written on my mirror right now:  “You are a nutter butter. EVERYthing looks great on you. Come on Kid. Let yourself enjoy your beauty at least A LITTLE!”  I’m not sure why, but this ALWAYS makes me smile, even when I’ve been crying and I’m having a horrible day.

This may sound cheesy, but every time I hear these lyrics it makes me think of you, because it describes what you have done for me way more eloquently than I can: “You’ve been my Inspiration. Through the lies you were the TRUTH. My World is abetter place because of YOU. You were my strength when I was weak. You were myeyes when I couldn’t see. You saw the BEST there was in me. You lifted me up when I couldn’t reach. You gave me faith because you believed.”

You have changed my life for the better and I don’t think I will ever be able to truly express how very grateful I am! Thank you Stacy!!!<3

Love,

Amy Nicole

((a.k.a. amy_nicole_)(Haha, Obvi?.. I KNOW! But everyone else did it & i didn’t want to feel left out!)

Stacy you are such a Positive influence in my life. You have taught me that you don’t have to be the stereotypical blond hair blue eyes to be beautiful =) .. Before i started to watch what not to wear i had no confidence to wear anything. I wore over-sized sweat shirts and jeans everyday. But now you have taught me its okay to wear things that will make people look at you, just make them look at you in a good way. I remember there was a episode were you said if people are going to look at you and talk its better for them to say oh wow i love that shirt over wow who is that slump :) That made me think. You have also taught me you can wear whatever makes you happy as long as it fits! Thank you so much for being such a great role model .. you are a inspiration to us all… <3 Thank you so much for giving me the confidence that i need for everyday life. :)

I am going to start out by saying GO VASSAR!! This campus has seen a number of great people walk through its halls.  Some of the greatest minds have been molded in these classrooms.  Vassar has released on to the world activist, journalist, Pulitzer Prize winning novelists, and even a Poet Laureate.  All these people were amazing but to most of us they are just names etched into the history book of this campus.  What still amazes me is that not all that long ago you were standing where I am standing today.  Contemplating your future just as I am.  Trying to carve out a path and trying to make a name for yourself.  You most definitely made a name for yourself and you left a number of young women a legacy to rise up too.  You left us huge shoes to fill.  Your successful career is only a small part of that. Your heart, your spirit, your willingness to give back, that is your greatest gift to us.  Being famous means nothing if your heart is not in the right place.  We see it all the time, people who could have changed the world, if they had only cared.  Sometimes we get lucky and we find people like you, Ms. London. You have such a big heart, your kindness changes lives everyday and one person at a time you truly are making the world a little better.  So as I sit in my dorm room tonight and contemplate my future, I can only hope that I can do Vassar as much justice as you have done it.  When I step into the real world I hope that I can greet it with the kind love and compassion that you have shown it.  I would be lucky to become even half the woman that you are today.  Thanks for showing me what it means to be a true Vassar Woman!!
