Hi lovely friends. I hope you are all well. I also really hope you enjoy this video which we filmed in Greece, as you can probably tell! Do you have any "favourite" style mistakes from your holidays? Lots of love. Deirdre. XX
Respecting the culture of the country you're visiting is so important. We recently visited Japan where people are very stylish, but also very modest--they don't show a lot of skin. We saw so many tourists with low-cut tops, bare midriffs, etc. It just felt and looked disrespectful.
I totally agree xx
Beautiful background with the wonderful ebb and flow of the water 🌊. My parents love Greece, so pretty. I miss the European culture of dress attire ❤️💯. We don't dress with care in the U.S., like everyone used to 20-30 years ago, really sad. The cashmere scarf is beautiful as are the linen pants. Great video,enjoy your trip💃🌷💖
Edited: this comment was for @elcehl. The wrong person was tagged.
speak for yourself.
@@Antmadmandayou criticise other people’s opinions by being as rude if not ruder than you say they are. Why is that?
@@sylviekinsplease point out where I have been rude. If you find anyone who has a different opinion to you rude, then that’s rather narrow minded. We all have different opinions, that doesn’t make any of us correct or incorrect. They’re just our opinions.
I live in the Argolis mainland Greece. ( Nafplio). We wear what ever feels good. But most of the locals are trendy. As for back packs or ruck sacks they are very popular here. The cross over bag is considered frumpy .
And cap 🧢 is a very big accessory especially for the sun.
Thank you for sharing, Victoria. I have been pretty close to you in the last few weeks - we were at Poros. A beautiful place. However, my experience is that it's not the older ladies who wear these things, but rather the younger ones. Lots of love and we love Greece! XX
Backpacks are indeed famous but for me, they are not practical (and not stylish), for the same reasons the lady describes
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdreat what age do you consider older or elder? Just curious.
Don't be sloppy or show too much skin.
Do the opposite of Megan M. at all times unless you want to be hated.
@@JoanMurray-j5y hahaha ! ...very funny & right ! In Rome do as the Romans do !
I agree about Americans needing to put more thought into their clothes instead of looking sloppy and unkempt. I'm an American. The fact is there is no excuse these days because anyone can get nice "linen" pants, sandals, dresses, and versions of the other nice clothes you showed at Walmart these days for a very low price. There are so many lovely inexpensive clothes available now. I'm really happy to see younger ladies taking advantage of this and wearing linen blazers and pretty dresses.
Hi Lisa. It's definitely not just Americans who need to put more thought into their clothes! We are guilty in the UK too. XX
Totally agree and I'm a Yank too.
I have some very stylish American family and friends. Best not to generalise.
@Antmadmanda That's the problem "some". But in general, Americans dress badly!!! We all watch so many live streams from all over the US and it's so obvious the Americans are mostly sloppy!! It's not a generational. It's a fact. Europeans are different,we go to the gym in gym clothes, not to the grocery store. We go to the beach in Flip- flops and bikinis. We don't go out wearing bikini tops with jeans or shorts. And as for sloppy, oversized T"s....I just won't go there! 🙄🤪
Wish I can forward your comment to my neighbor. She looks very unkempt in her old oversize clothing. She always announces that she is saving money for her kids and they all have full time jobs. That is all well and good but her appearance is a laughing stock in the neighborhhood. Her neighbors snicker at her when she walks by and she is clueless.
The colour of the water... 😍
Come to switzerland, here everybody wears a rucksack!
😂😂 stimmt
In Sweden rucksack is also common.
In Germany & Austria too
A rucksack is common in the Netherlands as well
Hi there. I’m afraid that I’m talking from a small viewpoint - Greece and my experience and observations here. Also, my channel focuses on ladies over 50. I know that younger people wear lots of different things that a 50 + woman might not feel comfortable in. Xx
GORGEOUS COLOR OF WATER, AND ON YOU!!!!
ENJOY!!!!❤!!!
Lovely video, D! ❤
I agree with the touristy clothing opinion. However, I will say that Venice, CA is *flooded* with Europeans wearing Venice, Los Angeles, Hollywood, California, etc. t-shirts, hats, etc. We don’t judge so much, though!!
Yes, we've paid to be tourists, might as well lean into it. Being a tourist is a privilege, why would we want to act as if we are stuck in out day-to-day while on vacation?
Some nice ideas EXCEPT the last thing I would pack for a trip would be white pants or dresses. I try to pack light and rewear most items. I can’t imagine doing that with white! 😂
But white is so easy to take care of! A quick rinse in the sink, and voila, ready to wear again! Dark color and prints, in tropical weather, give the impression one is trying to hide dirt or sweat or something nasty.
I got myself a couple of outdoor dresses, there are several brands as Royal Robins, Arcteryx, Fjällräven, Jack Wolfskin etc.
They're functional materials, very lightweight and dry fast if just rinsed up and although if made for outdoor activities in mind they are fairly stylish and can work well with a dressed cardigan or a blazer for the evening.
These are favourites of mine during summer even if I'm not traveling.
😆 Then I'm sorry you don't want to look beautiful )))🤷🏻♀️
I agree on the white. Not for me on vacation
The moment I get anything white something lands on it that will not wash out.
Who cares if you look like a tourist in Europe that's what you are. I try for a classic neutral look - no crop tops, tight clothing's etc.. When I travel I'm often out for ten hours a day and being comfortable is very important. If it mean wearing ugly trainers to deal with my feet issue then so be it...
Totally agree that this aspect of your vacation needs to be planned and dress appropriately. Your clothes and Greece look gorgeous. ❤
From USA, Chesapeake Beach, Maryland.
You look beautiful Deidre! I loved most you showed! Please have fun!❤
Thank you, I will xx
Wish you had photos of locals and what they were wearing. Still too much skin for my age. I prefer covered arms due to my size. Wish you had provided more examples of covered tops.
I agree❣
Thanks Deirdre for such handy advice to improve our travel experiences!!....
If you are wearing linen the whole day you end up looking like you’ve been dragged through a bush backwards….. and you did warn about wearing creased clothes……
I love your all white outfits with the cashmere wrap and that stunning top you're wearing! It matches the blue green water behind you. I love it! Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Blessings to you too and thank you xx
I have lived in Germany for 5 years and travel all over Europe. Belt bags or Bum bags are worn by men and women everywhere. They are worn as crossbody bags and look very stylish.
Thanks for commenting. Yes, I think if they’re worn as crossbody bags, it makes a huge difference to their stylishness. Xx
Yes! They are worn crossbody, like you say, or on one shoulder like you're carrying a backpack (if hanging on the shoulder from one strap).
Yes.. I have seen that. I also feel I have seen Europeans in hoodies... not defending it..and I don't wear them.. but not all Europeans are chic...
I am trying to put together a bit more elevated wardrobe for our next trip which includes Vienna. I don’t mind looking like a tourist when we are going to tourist areas - 99% of everyone there is also one. And if you take pictures you are pegged for a tourist anyway. I always dress pretty modestly anyway - mainly for comfort! And I have to have a hat - I get headaches from too much sun. So if a cute hat will go with an outfit I will wear it but plain dark baseball cap otherwise. My biggest issue right now is that I need shoes that I can walk in but nice enough to go to a concert. I don’t mind wearing white tennis shoes in the day with a dress but not at night. What a problem to have 😂
Please do a video on what to pack for your holiday. We always seem to over pack and half the clothes never get worn. I'm from South Africa and unfortunately we can't help but stand out as tourists😂😂.
I am American and gulp I am admitting that I am often embarrassed for people in the States. Trooping around in ill fitting and sloppy clothing, worse is seeing young women in pajamas in public! We can do better. Thank you as always.
Xxx
Once an American elderly lady had her meal in a posh restaurant in Italy, she said she was so embarrassed to see so many Americans were so badly dressed
agree, im continuously on at my 21 year old American daughter to stop wearing her bloody slippers out in public, she answers me "Oh mummy its always better in Britain according to you"."
I hate the attire women wear in the airports. Horrible. Ill fitting yoga pants, tacky tee shirts, wrinkles.
Slovenly attire is not uniquely American. I have seen slobs in every country I have traveled to, including the UK.
100% agree with every point you make. Your alternatives are perfect and certainly don't scream tourist. Best wishes
All very valid points, thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Xx
Great tips .. However …As a former flight attendant and an American .I have to say I have seen my share of people that don’t care how they look from every country. And some that have not showered in many days . . It’s not kind to make such statements. You never know why someone is dressed the way they are .. perhaps they lost their luggage and have to buy tee shirts .. that say London or whatever… the true look of a seasoned traveler is someone who has an opened mind and is not so judgmental. Just saying .. enjoy your trip and don’t worry what others are doing.
Thank you for these comments. I didn't mean to be judgemental at all, just to help and guide. You are right, of course, in that we don't know why people choose to dress the way they do. I appreciate your comments. XX
This is a fashion channel, so why are you here then??
The fine scarf idea is fantastic. The whole outfit is lovely.
You could not have placed your beautiful self in a more perfect setting to showcase part of the stunning country of Greece. I so appreciate the work you do to bring us meaningful, helpful, and inspirational content, all with kindness, sprinklings of your signature humor, and the best of intentions. Enjoy your time away, every moment in that beautiful place.
Aww, Ginny, that’s so kind of you. Thank you so much and I’m so happy that you like my channel xx
I am Italian and I agree with you, we generally are quite elegant in every occasion. You have great observation sense. Thanks for your videos, you are so nice!
Thank you! 😃 xx
I prefer wearing white only in T-shirts or blouses. White trousers tend to get dusty when you visit historic views and the risk to spoil them with tomato sauce etc. is high.
- An other aspect of being immediately recognized as a tourist is the loudness if speech. In many countries people don't like a foreign language dominating the room. I say this as a German. I often feel embarrassed by my compatriots talking much to loudly in a café or restaurant.
Thanks so much for sharing xx
White linen pants dragging on the ground
They would be a dirt magnet
Thank you dear Deidre ❤️🌻you look amazing everywhere. Very nice video with lots of inspiration for dressing in summer, I enjoyed being in Greece with you.
Thank you so much! Xx
Hi Deirdre, I really enjoyed this video and I believe you had a great time 😎 kisses and hugs from Greece 🇬🇷
Thanks so much! 😊 I love your country xx
Great video Deirdre. Ty so much.
Terrific tips! You look great in all of your outfits. Going to New York in September with some gal friends and these ideas are so helpful. Have a great holiday! 🌺🌸
Deirdre, this is brilliant exactly what I needed as I will be going to Europe in a few months. The orange dress and orange tops were stunning on you. I am happy for you that you’re in Greece. Greetings from NYC.
Thank you, love the insights as we plan a trip to Italy next year.
I'm a Londoner and the first time I went to America we all got showered and changed out of our daytime clothes to go out for the evening, the usual thing to do. I was so suprised to see most people still wearing what they'd had on all day and felt a bit out of place
Londoner here too... a change of outfit for going out to dinner would depend on what your evening plans are... if it was a pizza, burger, restaurant then straight back to the hotel, I would not bother changing.. but if it’s a bar/ restaurant, something more up market then definitely change
75 years an American and always change clothes if going out for dinner or drinks,even if it's very casual. I like feeling clean and fresh if going out.
@@katiewest7908 me. too.
Deidre...you put a humorous spin on traveling in style. I was born, raised, live, and work in a tourist city in Boston, Ma USA 🇺🇸. I get a chuckle on "what not to wear traveling " videos. There are so many out there with thousands of views. Nobody is paying attention. Whether tourists are from Asia or Europe, they carry military size and weight backpacks. They look all rumpled like they've been staying in a hostel. Wear their worst clothes sightseeing. As long as nobody is rude...no judgment here😁
Thank you, I really appreciate your sensible comments. XX
Very cute and pretty outfits. I hope to make a trip to Greece from the US someday. I enjoy your videos and am a subscriber.
Turkey and Croatia are similar to Greece, but much less expensive.
Welcome to my channel xx
@@americafirst9144 you must be kidding! That's a shallow touristy answer!
I just came back from a trip to Ireland and Scotland, I left my backpack in the hotel, but it rained so much I wish I had more with me for all the long tours! Finally carried my umbrella everywhere and a rain jacket. It was very hard to look too fashionable. Frizzy hair and soaking wet sneakers haha I just avoided mirrors and forged on enjoying myself!! ❤️
I totally get your point, Karen. Our British weather makes it a real challenge to look stylish!! XX
Love this video and the others. I always look forward to the latest Deirdre on Sunday morning. Can you talk about what to wear in southern Europe in the Fall? Specifically in October when there are larger temperature fluctuations during the day?
Souther Italy is still very warm in October. We swim in the sea - I do until Christmas
Love going on holiday with you Deidre. Thanks for taking us along. I try to buy a scarf at every country we visit. Love yours.
Thanks so much, Kimberly. XX
Thank you Deirdre always a class act. So true about tourists & living in America there not known to be snazzy dressers, in fact the opposite. Agree with all your points.
As an American who has lived for the past 11 years in Poland, I agree with some of the things you mentioned. But rucksacks are actually used on a daily basis by locals here in Kraków Poland, where I live. Probably because we have several universities here. Also, hoodies and leggings are worn all the time here, depending on the weather. The men and women here are generally really fashionable and are very good looking.
I think people should look at the country they are visiting and should leave the touristy things at home. You fit it anywhere with your style.
Thank you. You are right xx
Not correct. In many European countries, people dress very casually.
I just finished packing for two weeks on the Côte d’Azur. Its so funny because I packed white linen wide leg pants that are cool and casual.
I packed a couple of maxi dresses for nights out to dinner, many swimsuits among other items.
We are in the South of France every summer and I’m always mindful of dressing respectfully. It can be done while not looking like one doesn’t care.
Besides-it’s fun to dress nice!
Love it!! XX
Preparing for a family vacation to Scotland in July but am mentally storing away these outfits ideas for our trip abroad. Wonderful video Deirdre! Thanks for taking time out from your Greek vaca to share your style tips! Cheers!
Hi hope you enjoy your time in Scotland anything goes include a jumper 😮
@@bettytennant1126 hi! What's a jumper?
Sweater
I generally agree with your taste except for the red off-the- shoulder top. It looks a little cougary.
Great advice ...love the scarf
Great advice, but tourists stick out no matter where they are. You look just beautiful and could go anywhere in those stunning outfits. Ireland is in Europe and trust me, no-one seems to care what you wear!
Love your videos. You are spot on about traveling to Europe. Blend in. I just ordered the scarf in blush. I’m also thinking of the dusk color. I love scarves. Tend to buy when on travel. Bought one in Croatia and Bellagio. Gorgeous.
Hi Deirdre! What a gorgeous setting for your video! Love your looks...and YOU look amazing!! Enjoy your time there!! xx
Thank you so much!! Xx
Oh Deirdre, you were by the water in flip flops! 😀Nonetheless we get your point! Loved your outfits-- especially the azure blu, seafoam grn- blu top & white pants! So Grecian in colour!
I don't understand why UA-camrs insist on keeping alive the myth Europeans don't wear athletic clothes. Come to Athens, sit at a cafe and observe. Baseball caps almost unheard of in southern Europe? What on earth are you talking about? Especially during summer you'll see them everywhere. The vast majority will be wearing denim AND athletic wear. Almost everyone will be wearing casual/athletic footwear. All young kids under 25 wear gym leggings and hoodies. Hell, people of all ages wear hoodies. Tourists spend a few days in the greek islands and confuse the life vibes of tourist areas to actual living in Greece. As locals we know you are tourists from the moment we set eyes on you. You will stand out as a tourist no matter what, and why would that be a bad thing anyway?
I'm jealous! You're still there... I just (literally, JUST) returned from Greece myself. I wore a small crossbody bag that housed everything I needed (mini wallet helps)! I had a tote handy, but rarely did I need to take it with me. Of course, I had a rental car, so that may be the reason. I had fashion sneakers and flats. Was surprised to see you in kitten heels, given the irregularities in Greek streets and walkways. I adore your fashion choices! I also took white trousers (kept my Tide stick handy!).
I do disagree somewhat with you regarding athletic clothing. Here’s what I saw first-hand: I saw Greek women (listen to the language if you’re not sure) in leggings, adidas athletic pants, athletic sneakers. I made friends with a European woman (from Crete, living in Brussels, visiting Greece), who was always in leggings and athletic sneakers. Her friend (Greek) wore athletic pants and huge sneakers as well. The others I saw on ferries as well as flights between the islands. You are right though, in that these women never looked dishevelled.
Bottom line - if you are a tourist, you’ll be spotted! You’ll be walking slowly and looking around as you take in the sights. Locals don’t do that.
So, while I agree it is important to take time to look put together - that’s part of the adventure! - I say wear what you feel most comfortable in. Feel free to run out and buy new clothes - just know you are doing it for the fun of it - you will not be fooling any professional scammers or pickpockets. Keep your hand on your crossbody bag, walk on the sides of streets (or airport walkways) - never in the middle of a crowd and just be aware of your circumstances. Then have fun. Ya sas!!
Here in Sicily, women only wear athletic clothing if going on a run or to/from the gym. And apart from clothing, you can tell the tourists by the way they step into/cross roads without looking anywhere. Getting in the way of traffic. Some even stop in the middle of the road to take photos 🤦♀️
@@mariecurie7491 True that! 😆
We need to use sneakers when we walk for hours no matter if is Europe or not but thank you😊❤
Such a beautiful city! Thanks for sharing bits of your vacation! You look so polished in your outfits!❤
Just a note: it looked to me as if the hems of the white pants and the pale green dress are quite close to the ground. Might pick up dirt. 🤔
We were recently on a Greek island cruise and the easiest way to tell we were tourists was the locals were wearing winter coats and us as Canadians were wearing tank tops and shorts as it was lovely weather for us! LOL
I love this xx
Yep. Same as Canadians fleeing the snow and cold by travelling to places with warm and balmy temperatures i.e Florida (Snowbirds😊).

"They hide all sorts of issues with our legs as well" Thank you Madame!
Really good advice. Thank you. Enjoy your holiday.
You look radiant on holiday! love the white linen pants.
All I can say is I’m soooo jealous! You look lovely and you must be having a wonderfula time. Love the bags you showed (the no name ones) especially the blue and white patterned one. Thank you for sharing. P.S. some tourists really don’t care😢
Beautiful outfits in your video. Loved the comment about dressing for dinner. It does not need to be super fancy. I always like at least change into a little nicer top and different shoes. I think you also get better service if you dress appropriately, especially in more expensive restaurants.
So true! XX
Thank you for the tips Deirdre! I’ll them in mind when travelling to Europe! You are the best!! I love your videos and fashion advice.
I love the flowy look of linen pants; but they always look too long , as though they must be dragging on the ground and getting really dirty at the hemline.. I noticed that when you wore them at the airport too. Comments? Advice? (I'm 5'1" and over seventy )
Love the orange dress
Very informative, and always looks fabulous in everything, inspiring...
Thank you so much! Xx
Such an enjoyable video. Loved your tips, the beautiful outfits and the gorgeous venue!
100% agree! Sadly, Americans abroad and here often appear as if they have just got out of bed and hit the streets or even work. So disrespectful! Thanks for the reminders.❤
At home...that is what many do. I agree...careless and disrespectful! 😘
I love the dresses. They look fabulous on you.
My style tends more toward business casual and I pack very light. My one favorite daily carry bag for Europe bag is a PacSafe slash proof locking convertible. It can be used as a small backpack, but converts to a much smaller shoulder/cross body bag that works quite well for evenings out and art museums. I also carry a Travelon crossbody wallet for short jaunts around the neighborhood.
Love the one shouder top!
I must say I wear a cross the body bag/bum bag at times as they are so convenient and safe while travelling. I cringe every time I hear them called a fanny bag 😂. Just love all your outfits, another great video! TY.
Absolutely agree with you 1000% on everything. Hope you are having a lovely holiday 🙂
❤ Beautiful outfits
What a beautiful place Deirdre , I have never been to grease before scared of long flights, but that water is really turquoise beautiful
I’m from Spain and I can say we don’t always dress stylish and not everyone does. It mostly depends on the occasion and the city. In my city (Alicante) we tend to dress much more casual during the week with just a pair of jeans and a tshirt or a hoodie in winter. Many young people wear sweatpants or leggings if they’re going to school or hanging out at the park near their home. I saw a lot of comments of people saying they would stop wearing crop tops and such but at least for younger people that’s incredibly common. You have to remember that we have some of the same fast fashion stores as in the US (like h&m, Zara, etc) and that’s what they sell.
I’d say the most important things to avoid looking like a tourist are not wearing a backpack, sandals with socks, not getting a major sunburn, not being out in the sun during the hottest hours (midday and afternoon), not wearing sheer clothes over a bikini unless you’re actually at the beach and not wearing hats. Also small bags are much more popular than big ones. And overall even if you dress kinda touristy just make sure you don’t look unkempt. Take a small hair brush if you have to, look at your reflection at a window and adjust your clothing. It’s all in the details!
Thank you so much for your comments - and I'm so pleased that I covered some of them in my video too! XX
100% agree. Such a great video.
I'm American and live in Europe. On a Greek island, I saw another American, a girl about twenty. She was outside a Greek Orthodox church, wearing crotch-length shorts, a crop top with no bra, and flip-flops, breezing toward the church entrance past a sign in four languages including English that said, "Please be respectful in your dress." The sign specified: No shorts, No bare stomach, No decollete, This girl could not understand why the priest and everyone else was glaring at her. And she glared at me when I told her why. She read the sign but dismissed it as she didn't think it applied to her. It made me ashamed for her.
Oh dear. XX
I have lived and worked in more than a dozen countries on four continents and have seen so much disrespect towards local customs, buildings and monuments by tourists of ALL nationalities. These people would doubtless be the first to object if tourists came to their home country and acted in a similarly-disrespectful way.
Thank you Deidre, I really enjoy your styling tips and you always look fabulous x
Well, in the US during the 6070s 80s people did not wear exercise clothes outside of the gym. Even in elementary and high school we would carry gym clothes and keep them in a locker and then change back into dress clothes. There also were no jeans worn in high school.today with the style of everybody wearing all these gym clothes everywhere it makes people look worse. It does not make people look more beautiful or even nice.
Perfect style examples. You look lovely and so does the background! As a larger busted woman (F cup) I am in search of a strapless bra and have given up. 😔 I avoid strapless, one-shoulder and spaghetti strap styles which rules out so many cute dresses and tops. The ones that cover supporive bra straps often look matronly. I have leaned in to linen pants and skirts with a fitted tank for hot weather but wish for more variety.
Im european, we use lots of rucksacks...
You are right about all of these tips. When we travel in Europe we go "carry-on only" so I don't have room to pack lots of clothing options. I do however, iron my clothing before going out. It's so important not to look messy. We pack lots of mix and match pieces in a paired down color scheme. We loved Greece and can't wait to go back.
It's a wonderful country, isn't it, Kimberly. XX
If you don’t mind me asking you which of the Greek islands were you at? Gorgeous water! All of your outfits were gorgeous as well!
Love the video from Greece! Thank you. Lots of love to you too
Love the mustard yellow scarf.
I always take scarves on holidays to change the outfit, for a bit of warmth, or for over my hair in churches etc.
Giving me lovely memories of my holiday there last year.
I love Greece and your style. Thank you. Enjoy your holiday 😊
There is no way to dress in Europe, each country is different. If you wear those outfits, you’ll look like a tourist as they are too fancy for how most people dress. Lovely choices, though.
Yes, I agree. Each country is very different. These were my experiences in Greece. Xx
It looks sooo beautiful there! Enjoy!
The hardest part of travelling is limiting the shoes. How many pairs did you bring?
Too many!! Xx
The tips are wonderful and the view of the turquoise sea is beautiful! I'm ready to set sail! Big hugs from Texas!
Thank you so much! Lots of love to you too xx
I really enjoyed this video. Question though about wearing bright/bold colors ... I often think about Europeans in black or dark-colored clothing. Does this hold true in the summer months?
Hi there. To be honest, European ladies do wear a lot of black. I don’t think navy is worn so much, except in France but dark colours, certainly in Greece and Italy are worn all year round. Xx
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre Thanks! Have a wonderful time and stay safe. 🙂
Yes, and they don't look elegant
I will be visiting my son this October. We will be visiting around Wiesbaden and some touristy places along the way. We do not plan on visiting any churches or any religious areas. I would love to see some of your ideas for a more casual look with tennis shoes. I have hip and knee issues so I cannot wear flats, sandals or any type of heel. I was there a year ago but mostly stayed on the base but the norm seems to be very dark plain clothing. How do I style casual without looking like a tourist?
This Sunday only Old Navy has women's linen blend pants on sale for $14 as part of their Memorial Day promotion. Lots of solids and stripes.
I just checked that out and unfortunately only sizes large and up are available online.
@@garmtpug Sorry about that, I couldn't even find a large in my area in the sand color.
@@nickyonstilts128 A deal like that will sell very quickly. I guess you'd have to jump on it as soon as it showed up! LOL!
People go to visit other countries to enjoy themselves and not to keep up with trends at any of these places. Style is subjective. I am European who lives in the states and I do think that Europeans most of the time are overdressed.
You look really gorgeous! Love everything you wore.
All of your outfits were grand! And a lot of these tips were just common sense.
It does seem like so many Americans (I am an American) look a mess here and abroad! Even when I go to the grocery store I can't believe what some people - men and women alike - have on! Sloppy stained clothing either too big or too small! I live in the Midwest and I think that sloppy, just out of bed look is a real thing here! Ugh!
You are never too busy to change your shirt or pants when you are leaving your home. To say nothing if you are traveling! And as someone down below mentioned, nice looking inexpensive clothing is very easy to find nowadays. And if you don't like driving all over and spending time in malls and stores, you can find anything online! So there are really no excuses left. 🙂
I'll be going to the Baja in Mexico this Fall and I've already used many of your previous tips for putting together that vacation wardrobe! Thank you for the fun video and enjoy your vacation!
Agree!!Even worse in California! It gives me the icky when I see you these people out and about. My first thought, how dirty your house, car etc must be that you can't put forth an effort! Have a glorious day!
Well I think, people who won't care about style do not watch your videos.....But would be better doing it😉. I like yours and especially your bright shining personality! Thank you from Germany❤
I appreciate that! Thank you so much xx
You're so right Deirdre, and few things make women look less beautiful than a rucksack. I don't mean them wandering in the Outbacks etc. but those in the cities and at the beautiful places. Nobody needs to carry half of the household there, torturing other by not having control over their bagpack.
Has it occurred to you that many use a rucksack on holiday because they are doing fun activities, involving a change of clothes, layers. I don’t go on holiday to put on a fashion show or try to present myself as beautiful, I do fun things. Im not going to hike up the mountain with a tote bag, or carry my paddle boarding requirements in one🤦🏻. There are also those that require medical supplies, catheter bags etc., and mums/dads needing nappies etc for their babies. I’m 68 by the way.
@@Antmadmanda it's your choice. But accidently this channel is about style and and beautiful appearance. You might find a fun and rucksack loving channel as well.
@@Schlei602you are extremely rude, so it would seem you are no lady, stylish or not. Are you always this unpleasant . Try reading my comment again, without putting your own ignorant spin on it. Beauty comes from within, not from what clothes you put on your body. I enjoy fashion, but I’m not a slave to it. I know exactly what suits me, and how to dress well for whatever occasion or activity I may be taking part in. Have a good day if you can 😃
Accidentally 🤔. Do you mean incidentally 😂. Furthermore, you are very rude.
@@Antmadmanda I meant accidentally more as a joke, but incidentally is OK.
Excellent video.
