  • Most of us struggle from time to time, wanting to put together an outfit that not only makes us feel cute and put together, but actually looks that way. Sometimes I get it right, other times I don’t. If you’re like me and you get stuck in a rut, or you’re not feeling like your outside is matching your inside, this video is for you!
    I’m the one in all of the “before” photos-and I’ll share a few ways we can go from good to great!
    At the end of the day, all that matters is that you are happy with what is looking back at you in the mirror-my opinions are just those-subjective thoughts that I’m sharing with all of you!

    @mkbrown3902 Рік тому +5

    I've started buying petite or "cropped" tees and tops for jeans so I don't need to tuck. It's tricky to get them to hit at the right place but when they do SO MUCH BETTER.

    • @sandysmith8377

    I love that you shop at Walmart. Folks sleep on Walmart but you can get pretty nice things there. Target also has nice clothes. You don’t have to shop high end stores to put together great outfits.

  • @deniselightbody9387
    @deniselightbody9387 Рік тому +4

    Great video! I struggle with the frumpiness fight. For the white jeans, I just found some at old navy called “Wow jeans”. I paired them with a button up gauze shirt. I loved the outfit but struggled with the shoes. I highly recommend the jeans, though!

  • @yap4808
    @yap4808 Рік тому +4

    A tip to hide a tummy is, tuck your top on the side or sides and let the fabric fall in the front and back. You show a bit of your waist on the sides and you dont notice your tummy😊 hope it helps

  • @victoriakelly8989
    @victoriakelly8989 Рік тому +6

    As a woman in her sixties, I fought the idea that a front tuck could look good on me. I was wrong. I ran around wearing long tunic tops that I thought was hiding the "problem areas" of my body, but I was, in reality, focusing all the attention on that area. The front tuck is so much more flattering on me and gives me the correct proportions for my body.

    • @MsGoldgirl
      @MsGoldgirl  Рік тому

      So many women get so angry about the front tuck-but I really think they need to take a picture both ways and ask friends or family to give their input. When done right, it can be very helpful!

    Marnie, seriously, this is a great video! Actually, as hard as I try, “ frumpy” is my middle name….
    You looked good in the outfits and then you “ defrumped” them, and wow! I could see the difference. Yes, the perfect fitting white jeans are very hard to find. By the way, I love your sense of humor! Thank you for another great video! Shalom!

    First time viewer here. As an almost 49 year old myself this video is cracking me up. Great advice but it just reminds me so much of all the things that were drilled in our heads. And especially when you said, "80's we weren't exactly known for their good fashion" In the segment to match your "colors". I said a big "amen". You are so real and relatable! You have a new fan for sure.

    Thick denim especially if it has spandex is not good. Try some white chinos. They won’t show lumps and bumps but have the casual look. Talbots has great ones.

    You nailed this video on Frumpy. My friends an I look back an have actually laughed at ourselves for thinking how good we thought we looked in a outfit , but then died when seeing it in a photo. Finally a stylist that has called out puffy vests can add volume you to us ladies in unwelcome places so go for thin vests less bulky sweaters. What a smart an well needed video on suggested options for fashionable looks. Nice job👍

      I think many do this to show off any designer belt buckle. 🤷‍♀️

      I don't think that's it because everyone I know who does it doesn't usually even wear a belt.

    I'm short but I love white jeans, so I worked to find a way to wear them without looking even shorter. Here's what I learned. A pair of high waisted, slightly wide leg white jeans look great on me. I wear them long, with a light brown shoe that has a little heel. I wear a short top in a similar color like beige, or a white T shirt tucked in front. Add a short jacket, and white jeans can look really current and great in winter!

    I so appreciate your take on styling! I am much taller and bigger sized than you are, but I have a very similar body shape. All the fashion sites I see are women who have to work hard to NOT look great! Very rarely do I see pear shaped or hour glass shaped people doing what you are doing, unless it's either very dressy or dramatic styling. I love the casual, but stylish vibe you create with your outfits. It's exactly what I am trying to achieve.
    I had a moment in time in my 30s where I felt like I could find lots of options in the stores and everything fit well and looked great on my body, but my body has drifted away from the ready to wear sizes in the stores, and I find myself struggling to find options that fit well and look good.
    This type of video in particular is so helpful to see how subtle tweaks can elevate the look. Makes me realize I need to start taking more photos to see what works and doesn't on my frame.
    Keep up the great videos!

    I throughly enjoy these kind of videos - so helpful! Your “fixes” were spot on too. I searching for white jeans too so please let us know when you find the best ones. I have tried the sizing up and that helped but the Levi Premium 501 went back today. 😂

    White jeans- I highly recommend Crown & Ivy from Belk! Mid-weight, with a bit of stretch, no nurse vibes. I’ve got many pairs of skinnies and straights in all colors and love them! Unlike a lot of things from Belk, they don’t pill or look cheap, fit my round butt and waist at the same time, and have lasted nicely for over 3 yrs.

    Marnie, I think you did a great job improving the frumpy outfits. I too, have a hard time with white jeans and I even go up a size. I am shorter than you (5’2”) and have problems with high rise jeans in that the crotch area can be baggy and the fly area does not lay flat even though my jeans are not tight across the belly. I should try petite jeans and it would probably fix the problem with the rise. I don’t know how to remedy my issue with the zip fly not laying flat. Another thing that I have found is that a thicker white jean with a high cotton content is better at not looking “sausage-like”. I have a pair of NYDJ white jeans in the Alina Ankle style from several years ago that have cut-outs at the bottom resembling eyelet. I need to check out their website to see what styles they have in white. I thought in the improved look that you had a different pair of white jeans on. I think the belt made them look better and not “pooch” out in the stomach area. It’s so much harder with white jeans because they show everything! Again, I think you did a great job! Thanks for being real!

      @Julie Goerke I have the same issue with the zipper not lying flat. Never thought of trying petite as I have never considered trying petite. I always thought the rise would not be right. I have always wanted a decent pair of white jeans. Glad the @Marnie featured Chicos. I used to wear it for business casual but have not been in the store since retiring. I also like Soft Surroundings. I might check out jeans there when I am in a city.

    I discovered your channel when you collaborated with Kelli and Christina. I’m 72 and only 4’11” tall but have the same type figure as you. I generally wear size 4 curvy fit and small sizes. I have the hourglass figure with the slight front pooch. So I identify with what you do except you are much taller. I definitely prefer booties over sneakers for as long as I can but I live in Central Texas! Thanks so much for the video!

    Love front tuck, and waist definition! I tuck in workout clothes, pajamas, everything unless I’m cold on a plane then I’m a burrito. I would even tuck in that turquoise top a little farther to show off the belt and waist.

    Hi Marnie, I was a professional stylist for many years and most of the time, unless the person is over 5’6” and pretty tiny you keep your white jeans for a heal, boot or shoe, and a beautiful long line tailored shirt or tunic or wear with a smart blazer, it makes the look less blobby! That’s a technical term! 😂

    Great video, Marnie! My white jeans are by J Jill, the authentic fit with slim ankles. I’m also curvy and these fit me well. Not perfect, but the best I have found for my body type. They have a heavy enough fabric so as not to be see through. I love the way you look in the white jeans, but I get it! Thank you! xoxo

    I found white Levi pull-on ankle jeans (I’m super petite) on Amazon and they are the best, most flattering white pants/jeans I’ve ever owned. Totally not see-through, which is always my litmus test for white clothing.
    I have to say that I own that green t-shirt from Walmart and I love it. I have red hair, so that color is super flattering for me. I totally get what you’re saying, but just thought I’d chime in since I own it and thought it was funny that you didn’t like it on you. I own the white and black one you like too. They’re just so affordable and easy to throw on for casual days!
    Thanks for all you do. I love your channel!!!
