Age-positive advice to make you look and feel your best..!
I personally like to look put together. I like to look like I put thought into my outfits even when I didn’t and I really like to look luxurious and expensive.
And today, I’m going to show you how you can achieve that I think a lot of people think it means just buying like a Gucci belt and tossing it over a pair of jeans. I don’t think that buying a designer item makes you look expensive. I think there’s a lot more to it.
And today, we’re going to go over all the ways you can achieve that I hope you guys enjoy the video give it a thumbs up before we get started. okay, let’s get right into it with a little awareness and mental preparation.
Decision Fatigue: The exhaustion you feel from making multiple decision in a day
we can eliminate things like to decision fatigue from the everyday act of getting dressed and not knowing what to wear, and as a result not looking great,
I think looking expensive is really achievable no matter what your budget has given that you prepare properly.
Fast Fashion:
Let’s talk about fast fashion is based around nothing more than the psychological pain that consumer will experience when looking at a price tag and seeing a high price point.
So, what they do is they make the price point really low at the expense of both quality and style. The idea that buying fast fashion is going to save you money is a complete lie and the biggest problem with it is that it makes it really hard for you to develop a personal sense of style and increase your Beauty.
since styles are always changing and this means that you’re going to be buying a lot more frequently than you would if you were to be investing in high-quality pieces.
Lifestyle Chart:
okay, let’s do a little lesson in ourselves or like fashion in our lives divide up this circle with all the different ways that you spend an average day what we’re going to identify here is how do you actually spend your time.
I spend a lot of time working which means I’m maybe not wearing pants and wearing loungewear which means that I actually should spend a little more on my loungewear and make sure that it’s good quality.
And it can stand the test of time since I’ll be wearing it so often this is super personal to every person that’s why doing that chart is really effective things like the trend pieces and special event bags or dresses for me, they don’t make a lot of sense to invest in.
Because I don’t attend a lot of special events and I’m definitely not going to wear green shoes every day.
Cost Per Wear: The cost of an item divided by the number of times you wear it
Explanation of cost per wear basically this is the cost of an item divided by the number of times that you wear it and when you start looking at the pieces, you invest in whether they cost a lot or a little.
you’ll start looking at how often you’re going to wear it and that can help you justify the price, and eventually start to own things that are higher quality and much more desirable.
Jeans:
For example, I’ve started to buy designer jeans. These are in two to three-hundred-dollar price range. Which always seemed really insane, but I used to spend about seventy to a hundred dollars on a pair of Topshop jeans, that I really didn’t love and since I switched to the capsule wardrobe mentality.
I started spending more on each piece but I have fewer items in my closet by a lot and each item lasts me four years.
Color:
So, coming back to this chart I’m also going to take a look at what colors I feel great in what colors make me feel beautiful. And of course, I also like to take a look at the hardware. I enjoy I wear gold hardware because my skin is olive, and it has green undertones, so that’s what’s going to make me glow.
But if you have pink undertones, you’re going to notice that silver is your best friend or white gold now even if you don’t have the budget to go shopping Today,
It’s okay we can have an awareness of what types of pieces would be really smart investments to add to our wardrobe and that can help you build confidence when shopping now.
Monochrome:
This is pure gold monochromatic is a lifestyle this is a wonderful thing to do and to know how to do to bring all one shades into an outfit or stick to a strictly one color, and one color only this makes you look really expensive.
And put together and it becomes straightforward and practical to do if you really enjoy one color like black or all gray like me in a moment where I’d be wearing sweats.
Cohesive:
I will make sure that they match the top and bottom this does two things it makes you look very cohesive it makes your style look seamless and put together even though you’re in sweatpants, of course, it’s easy to look good.
when you plan to but when you don’t plan to and you’re going to throw on sweats this is one monochromatic dressing is a really great way to elevate your style and make you look expensive in a moment where you would probably look your worst if I may.
Match your metals:
This is a real game-changer because you might not have paid attention to this before I mentioned it and then you will never stop noticing it. now that I’ve said it this is hardware can be found on Jean, that can be found on handbags.
you’ll see it on the backs of shoes, and the zippers also on jewelry, of course, the idea is to use your jewelry as a baseline, and then make every other piece of hardware match in your bag in your shoes and any other jacket or accessory should also have a similar or exact hardware.
This will make you look very elegant and put together in a very subtle way that not everybody will notice but you certainly will and people around you won’t exactly be able to put their finger on why you look so good.
You’ll notice that you have been buying habits and wearing habits and when you go to add new pieces at your wardrobe or to your jewelry you know what to look for if you always wear gold then a bag with gold hardware could be a really great investment and vice versa with silver.
I think I’ve seen a lot of mix metals lately and I really like this as long as you have a piece that can bring both silver and gold into your outfit now you notice how all of these are structural ideas.
For now, you can look more expensive that don’t actually involve like a certain piece of clothing or a designer item or anything like that.
Dress Up Underneath:
This is my next point, and I think it’s really important this kind of underwear we all remember wearing these when we were younger and now that we are women, they don’t look that great we don’t look the same they’re not made for a woman’s body.
And putting this kind of underwear underneath dresses or fitted pants, and this is going to completely diminish your feminine charm so the solution for this is to wear shareware there are many types of shapewear like a tank top.
That smooths out your waist and makes you look thinner or a pair of Spanx which are kind of like shorts that will make your body look very slim and slender through the thigh.
And waist to get the most extreme results you need a corset this is a waist trainer and this will really shape your body and give you lots of curves this wardrobe of shareware is taking me some time to invest in, and everybody no matter your age or your body type.
You can benefit from shapewear in some ways it’s just finding the right pieces for you. so always try your stuff on and see what it does for your body and if you like it a lot of the time, you’ll realize your waist will be like three times smaller instantly.
I love shapewear because it can make you look so hot right away for a beginner if you want to get started with smooth undergarments, I highly recommend investing in lace thongs these are extremely because they’re not marketed as shapewear, but they have that effect they are really smooth underneath your clothing, and now you don’t have Patty lines.
which is exactly the way it should be anybody should know what’s happening underneath their clothing, and I love that the clothes.
you already own can look that a much better with the correct undergarments.
Care:
These ones might seem simplest, but it’s like super overlooked this is basic care for your items making sure, there’s no lint, but most importantly, no wrinkles are the thing that is like a dead giveaway, and you might think it doesn’t matter but it like definitely is noticeable to everybody.
I love my steamer actually, I love this and my deep Hiller you guys know I use this on sweaters and leggings, and like anything that would get pilled and steam things when I know they are prone to wrinkles and it makes a huge difference on the way my outfit looks every single time.
So, there you go those are my tips on how to look more expensive or at least a starting point for some of my tips I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
