You are so right about the classy vs not classy topic. Being classy is a style and not everyone has to follow this style. At the same time you can buy head to toe Chanel and still be tacky. Logos/brands doesn't make your STYLE a certain way is what you do with the items you buy and how you decide to wear them-and that's personal style. Ps.: I can not understand the multiple cardholder and wallet situation either lol.
This is the reason I watch Ericka, so genuine, down to earth. A person who loves luxury but has not lost her spirituality nor her essence. Too many fake and arrogant people out there.We love you Ericka
Thank you Erica! I watch some youtubers and they make you feel like you are in the wrong for purchasing bags you simply love. This is why you are my favourite youtuber! I love that you buy items because you love them. Fashion should be fun! Keep up the great advice in your videos! Xx
Great points! "Classy" is not limited to "classic" dressing. I think a lot of people dress "classic" because they're not confident in their own taste & worry following it may result in a tacky/non-classy look.
“Sometimes the point of fashion is to do whatever your heart desires. Who gives a S*#% what the resale value is”. Finally someone is saying this!! If I hear one more thing about “re-sale” value I’m going to rip my eyelashes out. If you love it, just get the bag already! Fun and funny video. Thank you 😊
This comment is 💯 true! I’ve never bought a bag thinking about re-sale ... I mean I get it, but ugh really ... one more video about a classic flap and how it’s an investment... it is I guess lol but I dont look at my closet as investments.... lol but hey I’ve also never sold a bag cuz I love them all! Great video Erica! Love ur channel💗
My issue is not with logos like the ones you show but with people who buy items BECAUSE the designer's name is sprawled across the item, buying it only BECAUSE they want people to think they have money. That's tacky.
you're saying an item with logos can sit fine in the butik as long as nobody buys it? no matter who buys it he/she is tacky then? you can't really know why peoply buy anything certainly not just jump into conclusion that they just wanna show off. People buy designer items because they happen to like them!
I totally agree with you, that's exactly what I do. Living in Italy, in Milan, I can occasionally buy in the outlets of the real gems, Furla for example excellent quality and design
Hi Erica- I am one of the - mostly, but not always- "classics" person...But, I have to say that I totally agree with your point of view. Fashion IS supposed to be fun! And not make you fearful so you choose to be boring just to be on the "safe" side. Seasonal fashion shows ( Milan, Paris etc.) are sometimes misunderstood: It's not that you have to blindly follow everything they show, but to give you the option of having fun with the designs as shown, and simply adapt them and use their ideas to express your own personality and taste. Great video as always!
So ON POINT! I have to agree with you, and I felt you are so relevant because you share insights from a working class consumer’s perspectives, not fully sponsored “consumers/users”. Please do NOT apologise for wearing the same outfit, too! Any one can repeat whatever and whenever suitable and comfortable. You look great in that outfit! And I totally agree with you about wearing logos!
I agree with the list, especially with the point about SLGs and buying designer RTW. SLGs must be the way the luxury brands make money off people who will never part with their money to buy their bags or RTW. People see a card holder for 300-400 USD and think it is a good deal since they are not spending 3K on a bag. Just buy one good wallet and card holder and you are done. Also, the people who have every bog-standard instagrammer bag but are always wearing cheap polyester clothes from Zara. No need to pay 2K for a Channel top (no offense Erica) but invest in a cashmere jumper, a well-made blazer and in nice quality dresses, silk tops and well-fitting trousers from a quality brand. They don't even need to be from Louis Vuitton or Chanel. There are many much more affordable brands and contemporary/emerging designers that are at a higher price point but are worth the investment because they fit/fall so much better than the cheaper throw-away clothes.
Finally, someone who gets me! As a recent luxury handbag shopper, I kept watching videos about only get the classic Chanel, and I still do want one, but I have been seeing so many beautiful and different bags, that I don't think I only want a Chanel only collection anymore. I need variety, example, I just scored the YSL Triangle Bag because fashion should be fun. I'm obsessed with it!
I agree with these points 100%. I have graduated to very high end blazers and jackets. They absolutely make the look, along with my handbags. You rock, Erica!
Erica! 2 great topics in 2 days. You hit the nail on the head with these 7 mistakes and I totally agree. There is only so many wallets you can use. Buy one really nice one you love and when it start to look a bit tired invest in a new one. Also you are so right about starting to build up a quality clothes wardrobe. Really cool designer ready to wear items will last for years and make you look and feel great. It's definitely not just about bags. It's better to buy fewer items but the best clothes you can afford than to fill up your wardrobe with lots of clothes that fall apart after 3 months.
Ciao Erica! I agree with you that we don't need too many small leather goods and that colored bags and variety are a must!! A great coat is a must too!🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️😘
Oh Erica, so on point, I see all this things and think the same things, like why you need so many SLG 's and sometimes in same colour. I also don't understand why someone need 6 to 8 pairs of Chanel Espradilles !! Nice video.
I can‘t speak on the exact example you gave but for me, but I own 3 pairs of Chanel ballet flats. Reason for it is that they are the only ballet flats that don‘t hurt my feet and they fit perfectly. I have the classic beige which I wear the most because they go with everything, I also have a black pair for more dressy occasions and also a navy pair because I wear a lot of dark blue jeans and it goes perfectly. I probably wouldn‘t buy a 4th pair though because the 3 I have are enough. So 6-8 pairs of the same shoe is a little excessive and I don‘t think you‘d get use out of every single pair. But I guess they just really love their espadrilles 🤷🏻♀️
@@TheBeautyNovel I totally understand your situation, but you said it yourself , that you won't consider buying 4th pair, that I mean, if I love something soo much I will go highest upto 3, if I ever buy a Chanel Espradille , just one pair is enough I think , but upto 2 pair I find ok.
You are so right! # 1, I don't understand getting 3 Speedy in the same size. You are so right, it's a waste of money buying designer SLGs. A handbag gives a bigger bang!
Glad to finally hear another opinion on UA-cam, and actually a sensible one. Most just follow the « general opinion ». I respect much more people that have the honesty to speak up and develop their personal opinion. That is what makes you special and « classy » in some sense.
Ohhhhh yeah, totally agree! Specially with the point of fashion is having fun an not only worrying about future retail value, in my entire life I may have only sold one single bag of mine and I hated that bag after I bought her, she hated me too. Love your style your vibe your contagious happiness. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
AWESOME!!! So many gr8 and accurate points. I'm so with you especially on points 3,4,&5. Variety is integral in your personal collection and d world at large. Can u imagine how dull and stiff life would be everyone walked around looking and behaving tbe same?!!!. I found this very entertaining and informative. WONDERFUL
Erica, you are so right about personal style. We are all different, that what makes this world beautiful. I love your personally. You are fun to watch, your editing skills are superior. The way you put your video together almost an art. Keep doing what you do. 🤗😘
I love you so much Erica! The classic rant was so on point! I personally like unique pieces, bold colors, huge shoulders, different prints, thigh high boots, metallics... I’d never want to dress classic unless I’m going to a formal event. i don’t get why anybody should be looked down upon if they don’t dress like Audrey Hepburn! It’s not everybody’s style. Imagine how boring life would be if we all dressed the same.
Well done Erica 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 gentle tongue lashings mama! Agree with you on ALL counts! Logo when done correctly looks more like a pattern than logo, it’s stunning! I love seeing bag collections that have been acquired over time with killer pieces that are no longer available, some items exceed resell value when done correctly. Small leather goods in bulk give me anxiety and no I don’t have time to be changing my small leather goods 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly after this video, I actually believe we think the same. I agree. I say whats the point of buying expensive clothes that quite honestly I want to show off and not show it off. I don’t get it. Express yourself. You are so right about resale value that people think of. I just got introduced to your videos a couple of months ago among other luxury item videos. That’s all you hear and it’s so annoying. They like the bag but won’t buy it because it’s not an investment. To me, if you like it, buy it. Hasn’t it always been like that
Why do you care what others say or think of you? You should just ignore and do YOUR thing. Also, there is no such thing as ‘mistakes’ .... you do your thing and others will do their own thing.
I totally agree 💯! The only ones who really care what others think are trying too hard or wannabes. I love opening my bag and seeing all my SLGs. I carry Louis Vuitton, and YSL, Dior, Bally and don't care what others think, I spend my money on what I like, to please ME not others LOL!
Love your energy, passion and honesty! And agree - fashion snobbery is not cool and we should be bold and enjoy fashion that suits our aesthetics than conforming to what others tell you what is fashionable. 👍
Girl hands down your best video... I agree with you on every point and was thinking the samething. Buy what you love, forget what other's thin,k and forget about the darn re-sell value, great video.
Enjoyed your tips! Thank you for your being real and honest about your own mistakes about buying luxury items. I’ve actually implemented some of your tips; adding variety to my luxury collection like adding different types of bags instead of the same kind from the same fashion house, and also added belts, shoes and accessories like scarves and fashion jewelry to my collection. I’m very conscientious when it comes to putting together my outfits. I’m usually wearing only 2 designer items, bag and shoes or bag and belt or bag, belt and shoes but 1 of them have to be a very subtle logo.
Watching Erica dressed up so edgie and stylish makes me feel so classic. I wish I could be bold enough to get away from this. But never is too late. Thanks Erica 😘
Lol... my sentiments exactly! You nailed it with this Erica! 👍🏻 you said a lot of the things I think to myself when looking at IG. Why on earth would somebody need so much of the same?! A thousand SLGs? It’s never made sense to me. I totally agree with everything you said! Making it a point to add RTW to an already nice collection of bags and shoes is a must and that’s exactly where I am at currently ☺️ There are still a few category of bags I still need to add but it’s so important to add those beautiful high quality pieces of clothing to any collection. Great job sista! ❤️
I like logos, but I think mixing logos most times look tacky. You are so right about spending tons of slgs and bag charms. I have two wallets and two cardholders. One cardholder holds my work ID and train pass. I do want a larger wallet that I can use as a clutch or a wow, but I only need one. Nobody needs three wallets in different colors. I think it’s smart to spend money on good quality pieces that are not too trendy. There’s plenty of brands that have excellent quality clothes that don’t cost thousands but are miles ahead of H&M.
Oh, girl, I am one of those folks that change out my bag and SLGs multiple times a week, mainly because it brings me joy! I still love many of your other suggestions on your list, though! Great vid!
Good point on the difference between aesthetics and classy. Its all how you wear, not what you wear. I have several slgs and I do indeed rotate them, but tbh I don't give a rats if anyone sees them, its only important that I enjoy them. There's also the issue that I can't do RTW because its all the size of a handkerchief and just no. I do other high quality clothes because you're right, high quality clothes make a huge difference. I laugh at the resale conversations. Once it comes here it never leaves; resale is irrelevant.
I agree with everything you said *but* I do change my wallets/cardholders often, but based on size needs or if 2 colors might be a bad idea (example: white wallet near colors that might transfer or black wallet in big black bag)
I love what you had to say! It’s always good to take a step back and reassess your collection. I do that too - if I like something, I sometimes get tempted to buy two since I can’t decide on one color or something...... Looking forward to more of your videos.
I never understood why people put so much emphasis on what another human being looks like. For example, what is Class E. All of this is prospective. And oftentimes a lot of this is coming from a European egocentric mindset. Because people come from different cultures. And one culture one thing it might be considered classy in another culture it might not. So when you get different ethnicities buying a Brand's clothing. Oftentimes they tend to style it based on the culture that they represent. Another thing that I don't like it's how to look expensive. What exactly is expensive? Is it the quality of the clothes? Is it how much you paid for the clothes? And then by whose standard or metric are we using. Because expensive is relative. And I agree with you about the small luxury items. Those things are impulse items. They tend to be the cheapest to buy. So when people are starting a luxury Channel they tend to start their first. And then when you can't afford the bigger items the luxury items help you keep that content flowing. now as far as walking into a restaurant with a $50 our address and a $2,000 bag. I don't really have a problem with that. I subscribe to a girl named Milo Lux. And I'll follow a lot of drag queens and they mix and match all the time as well. But to each his own. At the end of the day. They're just clothes you paid for wear them how you want
You make an excellent point about black bags. A black bag is a black bag. Majority of the people not going to notice minute details. To them one black Chanel bag looks just like another. I personally own only one black bag and that is my work bag. For my days out, I like to have some color. But I got to say, logos are not my thing. I don't mind an SLG covered in logos, but never a bag or clothes. It would make me feel like a walking advertisement.
You are looking so lovely I love your new hair and make up style 😍 I always love your videos and this one is great thanks for the advice ! Love from the UK! 💖💕✨✨✨ Xxx
WOW! This video is SPOT ON! I certainly do not understand at all these youtubers buying a TON of slg's, it just doesn't make sense to me. I have a few and use them all. I certainly do not have time to switch out slg's all the time, nor would I want to....what a waste of money. Again, the black Chanel bags....love this. Who needs multiple black Chanel bags, I too always thought they look alike.
OMG, totally agree...I stopped buying the small purchases a while back 👍 Also, style is a preference for sure, just like food. Wear, eat and drink what makes you happy.
💯💯💯💯 agreed!!! I need to de clutter and start selling.. normally i only buy classic black luxe bags and now i am buying pink and bright colour bags to have some fun and just spice up my boring outfit.. stay blessed beautiful xx
Totally agree with u Erica!! And thanks for sharing with us all these precious tips!! I really learn a lot and am making the same mistakes. I too tends to buy similar items. It’s like I have one Balenciaga city and one Balenciaga part time, one pair of Christian Louboutin Claire and one pair of Pigalle, few pair of white sneakers and planning to another set of Hermes earrings and necklace in another colour. I never realised that I am having that issue until u mentioned. Another tip that I learn is that I shouldn’t be investing in SLG which cannot be seen. Thanks Erica again
I bought Coach card holder and it very functional I love it so much and price wide really good price not crazy price like Chanel or other high end brands. It is so easy to move from one bag to another or just slip in my pocket when I no need to take my hand bag. I bought brand new Louis Vuitton purse it sit on my wardrobe hardly use and feel wasting my money. It is great tips here from you and thank you 🙏 for sharing
You are right. Clothing should represent your signature style. Class is how you carry yourself. Class is born not made or bought as my mother always taught me.
I could not agree more on the people overfocusing on classics rather than trends - enjoy your life! so true! if you love something, why not enjoy wearing it a lot for 1-2 years at least, maybe much longer! and yes to contemporary looks. so much fun, being in the moment a bit!
Errrrriccccaaaaa......sssoooo trueee! Thanks for sharing your thoughts girl. You really rock. Keep it up. Love your videos, Can't wait for the next one.Ciao.
Totally on point Erica!❤️ But she’s so different than me!🥶 I can’t believe people have the nerves to say that & not realize how rude that is! Of course it would rub anyone the wrong way!🤯 Hope you have an amazing week lvoe!😘😘😘 Gina❤️
Im neww🤗🤗🤗lately slmost all content in the gurus of the luxury world is sponsored😑hardly know whats a real feedback or money behind it but so glad to have found such an authentic person like u🤗
Ok, so I thought I knew luxury shopping but apparently I didn’t know luxury strategic shopping. Love the perspective and subscribed to your channel effective NOW
Erica, I'm so glad you discussed the logo topic at length, nobody does that! I often complain to my husband that all the girls I like on youtube seem to love logos on everything they buy, but I don't like logos. After saying that to him a bunch of times I started thinking about this further and I have so many different thoughts. For instance, I heard that there was a new female designer at Dior and that the show was in Morocco, which I dream of visiting one day. When I watched the fashion show online I was whisked away into a Moroccan fantasy and was so inspired. I just imagined myself in another time wearing those clothes with my fabulous fantasy friends (we're all models in this fantasy) in a Moroccan resort. Then later in the show all the Dior logo belts and purses started showing up in the looks. I noticed it pulled me out of this fantasy world. So I think logos can pull me out of the fantasy the clothes are creating. My other criticism of logos is that whenever there is a logo there is usually a higher price on the item. This always makes me feel like I'm paying for the name and not the quality and the quality is what draws me to the designer items. So I guess it feels lazy by the designer like they just slap a logo on something and then can charge more. And last but not least, because I live in New York and so much of my life is walking instead of driving I feel like I have to be more careful with being flashy. I don't have a car as protection from the outside world so I would feel more vulnerable wearing logos. Now, because I went to college in Miami I totally understand the difference in style there. People are loud and loving it and a lot of your viewers will have no understanding of this until they actually visit and experience it for themselves. Also, an interesting phenomenon has happened to me with a recent designer Loewe bag that's making me think of trying something with logos. It is amazing quality and I love it, but a fascinating thing has happened to me in wearing it. An "in the know" person would recognize the very understated Loewe logo, but even at places like Barneys in New York I don't seem to get respect when wearing it. I'm not talking about out right rudeness or anything, but that subtle respect that sales people will give when they can tell you can afford what they are offering. So I think we know almost subconsciously that an obvious logo will just put it right out there front and center that this is a fancy bag darn it, respect me! I now see this as a true benefit in an almost primal way. Like I was eating at Bergdorfs the other day and almost every single woman had a Chanel bag. They know what says prestige. My fantasy woman I want to become when I imagine her probably doesn't wear logos, but I think I will see if I can experiment with them at least a little bit to give it a try. I am always pushing myself to be open minded and try new things. And I would encourage you to morph your pet peeve on the logo topic into love. I've developed a few pet peeves living in New York and I recently made an effort to let them go and it's really improved my life. Those ladies love you or they wouldn't watch you and enjoy what you are doing. Next time someone says one of those triggering things for you, just try letting it go. That's what I did and it actually worked and became my new habit! It felt really good to let it go. You will continue to love logos and they might never like them and that's okay, keep being yourself and letting your light shine.
Sarah Elizabeth Foster - omg Sarah! What a beautiful thoughtful comment! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I totally understand all your reasons for liking logos. Sometimes, there is just something that we are not attracted too and I think that it is totally ok. We don’t really choose what we love. It just happens. I just talking to my Hermes about this today. I was telling her that no matter what I do, I do not like silver hardware in Hermes bags. I am a gold girl and I when I see their palladium hardware bags, it’s just a turn off. I cannot bring myself to like it! So I think it is ok if someone doesn’t like logos. It is so personal. I just think people need to be more accepting of differences. I am so tired of being put down for not being classic! I know the exact collection from Dior you are talking about! It was absolutely stunning! It actually just hit stores! Thank for having an open mind and thank you for being such a ray of sunshine on my comments! And you are right: we need to let go of negativity. There is absolutely nothing good that comes out of it! Sending you much love!
1. Yes, a "classic" style is still just a style. Not everyone likes it / feels like they fit it either (I'm in the second category). I do not own any "classic" bags because that is not my style. Sometimes I feel like my style would be "better" if I had more classic pieces. I'd get a massive urge to invest in a classic luxury bag, but I cannot bring myself to buy one just because I don't love it as much as I should. Or I just look OUT OF PLACE. 2. I so agree with you about better quality / better quality looking clothes! A luxury bag can only go so far. Even if you have casual better quality clothes, you get the effect that the look is better because of all the detail, fit, material that went into the garments.
Erica would you ever consider (sometimes) wearing high end, colorful statement necklaces by artist/designers for a pop of color and fun in place of the logos? just for a change of pace..it would look soooo good on you and you may enjoy changing it up a little too. I agree classic is boring, but there are definitely other things you can do besides logos to show the fun creative colorful side of your style...that you may enjoy. (just be open minded to the idea:)
Hi 👋🏼Erica I normally don’t like to comment but I been following you Chanel for a but 2 year now this is one of my favorite video so far after this video I’m going to start buying from others fashion house. what do you think about Chloe ? I kip on seeing this cute bags but I’m skeptical 🤨 abut it
Yessss. I love it...definitely looking at the Dior Book Tote, “VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE”....sooo appreciate your opinion. Another Great Video....Just starting my luxury Stair well as you put which I ❤️ that concept, I had Gucci, some VERSACE, now LOUIS VUTTON, but I need a BAG everyday CASUAL BAG, before I go to CHANEL next....lol... What is your suggestion for a BLACK everyday bag? The LOUIS Vutton New Large Print or Dior Book tote, am torn?
This video was very helpful. I agree with you. Funny, I just came back from the Chanel store, (here in Las Vegas!!!!) and I saw a pair of sunglasses. When you said not to buy little, things (I've been looking for a bag since January. It will be my first, so it has to be FABULOUS), I said, "OK, I made up my mind, I'm not going to buy the $435 sunglasses, when I have several really nice ones (NOT CHANEL though, LOL). Then you said, "The Whole Look!!" Uh Oh, I need the sunglasses. I went on the website and there they were right on top, with the model wearing THEM!!! They look so good in person and great on me!!! I just kept saying, "Oh My God!" I felt like a Billion bucks. On my way home, I saw a license plate that said, "DARE2BU". I'm thinking to buy the sunglasses. And I buy bags that have a zipper in them. I put my card(s) and license in it, and there you have it! No need for a card holder or wallet. But I do have a pouch to hold miscellaneous things.
I really love the blouse you're wearing in the thumbnail. White with a black tie bow. The only place I can find one is in really cheap polyester on AliExpress. I love that Keepsake dress! Thats actually how I discovered you! Style Hard said she asked you where she got this dress. You're both so funny and knowledgeable about fashion.
Totally on point!......we all have different opinions about what fashion looks like, feels like, whats stylish and what appeals to us individually.....thank god, shit...it would be boring otherwise!!!!!!
Actually, I like both! I definitely dress in a very classy way, but I do enjoy some logos on my wallet 😉! But Erica is right, never should one person think she is better than another person, just because she dresses classy. I, for instance, hate jeans. I would never wear them. But if someone else loves wearing them, that's none of my business 🤷🏻♀️. (In general, I only think ripped and distressed jeans should really be thought over, they're simply ugly (sorry, personal opinion 🙊🙈!))
@@thalia7104 sure and I agree. SLGs are easy to wear and enjoy. Even some logo earrings, maybe a necklace or a scarf, they give you that special touch. I see more important to get focused on the fit, fabric and quality of the clothing. You could be wearing a Zara upper cashmere quality sweater with some nice bottom part, and killer Gianvito Rossi. No logos, no visible brands. And it would definitely make you look fancier than wearing and outfit of $4000 just in clothes from any logo-friendly brand. Referring to the fact of thinking you're better than anybody else because of your clothes, that's ridiculous. I'd never do that. You can like it more or not, but it's not your body, style and money spent so we all are up to choose whatever we feel comfortable in. ✨
@@bruissancho Absolutely! I like Wolford a lot. They have very high quality, and actually, my wardrobe is complete with what I have. The pieces I have never go out of style. Since my body frame hasn't changed, I can even wear clothes I bought when I was about 16 years old (saved my pocket money for good clothing). Now and then I added a piece (if it was something special), but in general, I really don't "need" to buy any clothes 😊. I agree with Erica, one should have fun. But if you are happy with those clothes you have, then everything is fine (and you can spend the money on something else or just save it up for travelling or a more expensive item). And, to be honest, I think I would look ridiculous in clothes that are not classy 🤦🏻♀️😂! But that's the point, what is best for one person doesn't necessarily be the best way for another person...
What I love about you is that you have such fun energy to your style and it takes little imagination to style black and nudes. Fashion is about fun and thanks for keeping it 💯 ❤️
Everyone has their own personal style and everyone is individual and unique in every way. Either they are classic , boho,rock etc. If everyone would dress the same the world would be boring. Whatever your style is the main thing is to feel great and always be chic and classy.
Aditnetwork Mteam - amen! Exactly how I feel! Of course everybody makes videos about fashion advice so we have content to watch but we still need to remember that at the end of the day, it is 100% personal :) Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Erica! I am new to your channel and I am loving your personality and what I am seeing! Although my style leans toward the classic side, I thought I’d comment on what you were saying about people saying they couldnt follow you because you dont have their style or because you like logos. I think its beautiful when people learn from those who may be different from them or are open to different mindsets/people. What came to mind when watching this video was the show sex and the City. (Idk if you’ve watched it or not but if you have you will understand what Im about to say). All 4 women had different styles of dressing. Carrie was daring in her style, Charlotte was classic and timeless, Samantha was sexy and Miranda was sometimes boyish but they were all best friends! Their styles didnt stop them from hanging out with each other or loving each other and they didnt downplay each other’s styles and I really loved that about the show! So I say that to say that people shouldn’t put limits on another person and should broaden their horizons. No one is better than the next! Its Preference and its what makes the world a beautiful melting pot! 😊
Love your energy and honesty! To me, Being classy doesn’t mean dressing classic it means being respectful to others. What is classic to me may not be classic to someone else. Fashion is about self expression. It’s a form of art. So... in the words of Rodney King, “can’t we all just get along?” (Have I aged myself now? Haha!) Keep up the great videos! I always learn something new to try from you. 💕
This is very good advice! The most important is: no matter how expensive your outfit, tearing down another person is never ever classy.
You are so right about the classy vs not classy topic. Being classy is a style and not everyone has to follow this style. At the same time you can buy head to toe Chanel and still be tacky. Logos/brands doesn't make your STYLE a certain way is what you do with the items you buy and how you decide to wear them-and that's personal style.
Ps.: I can not understand the multiple cardholder and wallet situation either lol.
This is the reason I watch Ericka, so genuine, down to earth. A person who loves luxury but has not lost her spirituality nor her essence. Too many fake and arrogant people out there.We love you Ericka
Thank you Erica! I watch some youtubers and they make you feel like you are in the wrong for purchasing bags you simply love. This is why you are my favourite youtuber! I love that you buy items because you love them. Fashion should be fun! Keep up the great advice in your videos! Xx
The luxury queen upload, we watch :) Great tips... as usual
Great points! "Classy" is not limited to "classic" dressing. I think a lot of people dress "classic" because they're not confident in their own taste & worry following it may result in a tacky/non-classy look.
“Sometimes the point of fashion is to do whatever your heart desires. Who gives a S*#% what the resale value is”. Finally someone is saying this!! If I hear one more thing about “re-sale” value I’m going to rip my eyelashes out. If you love it, just get the bag already! Fun and funny video. Thank you 😊
This comment is 💯 true! I’ve never bought a bag thinking about re-sale ... I mean I get it, but ugh really ... one more video about a classic flap and how it’s an investment... it is I guess lol but I dont look at my closet as investments.... lol but hey I’ve also never sold a bag cuz I love them all!
Great video Erica! Love ur channel💗
PREACH about the logos girl! I’m a Logo ho and I have no plans on changing that 😂💖
Cassie Thorpe you are hilarious when you call yourself a “ logo Ho!” 🤣🤣🤣
Cassie Thorpe - ha ha ha you are my sista from another mother!!!! Yasssssss!!!!
Ericas Girly World it’s sista from another mista lmao!
My issue is not with logos like the ones you show but with people who buy items BECAUSE the designer's name is sprawled across the item, buying it only BECAUSE they want people to think they have money. That's tacky.
Chris You said it best! 🙌🏼
you're saying an item with logos can sit fine in the butik as long as nobody buys it? no matter who buys it he/she is tacky then? you can't really know why peoply buy anything certainly not just jump into conclusion that they just wanna show off. People buy designer items because they happen to like them!
I totally agree with you, that's exactly what I do. Living in Italy, in Milan, I can occasionally buy in the outlets of the real gems, Furla for example excellent quality and design
Hi Erica- I am one of the - mostly, but not always- "classics" person...But, I have to say that I totally agree with your point of view. Fashion IS supposed to be fun! And not make you fearful so you choose to be boring just to be on the "safe" side. Seasonal fashion shows ( Milan, Paris etc.) are sometimes misunderstood: It's not that you have to blindly follow everything they show, but to give you the option of having fun with the designs as shown, and simply adapt them and use their ideas to express your own personality and taste. Great video as always!
💜💙💚💛🧡❤Omg, Erica I TOTALLY agree with every word and LOVE your straightforward an no bullshit cut-to-the-chase approach! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤
So ON POINT! I have to agree with you, and I felt you are so relevant because you share insights from a working class consumer’s perspectives, not fully sponsored “consumers/users”. Please do NOT apologise for wearing the same outfit, too! Any one can repeat whatever and whenever suitable and comfortable. You look great in that outfit! And I totally agree with you about wearing logos!
I agree with the list, especially with the point about SLGs and buying designer RTW. SLGs must be the way the luxury brands make money off people who will never part with their money to buy their bags or RTW. People see a card holder for 300-400 USD and think it is a good deal since they are not spending 3K on a bag. Just buy one good wallet and card holder and you are done.
Also, the people who have every bog-standard instagrammer bag but are always wearing cheap polyester clothes from Zara. No need to pay 2K for a Channel top (no offense Erica) but invest in a cashmere jumper, a well-made blazer and in nice quality dresses, silk tops and well-fitting trousers from a quality brand. They don't even need to be from Louis Vuitton or Chanel. There are many much more affordable brands and contemporary/emerging designers that are at a higher price point but are worth the investment because they fit/fall so much better than the cheaper throw-away clothes.
Zara is pretty good for fast fashion though. Way better than PLT and Boohoo. And Fashion Nova.
Finally, someone who gets me! As a recent luxury handbag shopper, I kept watching videos about only get the classic Chanel, and I still do want one, but I have been seeing so many beautiful and different bags, that I don't think I only want a Chanel only collection anymore. I need variety, example, I just scored the YSL Triangle Bag because fashion should be fun. I'm obsessed with it!
I agree with these points 100%. I have graduated to very high end blazers and jackets. They absolutely make the look, along with my handbags. You rock, Erica!
Erica! 2 great topics in 2 days. You hit the nail on the head with these 7 mistakes and I totally agree. There is only so many wallets you can use. Buy one really nice one you love and when it start to look a bit tired invest in a new one. Also you are so right about starting to build up a quality clothes wardrobe. Really cool designer ready to wear items will last for years and make you look and feel great. It's definitely not just about bags. It's better to buy fewer items but the best clothes you can afford than to fill up your wardrobe with lots of clothes that fall apart after 3 months.
Ciao Erica! I agree with you that we don't need too many small leather goods and that colored bags and variety are a must!! A great coat is a must too!🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️😘
Oh Erica, so on point, I see all this things and think the same things, like why you need so many SLG 's and sometimes in same colour. I also don't understand why someone need 6 to 8 pairs of Chanel Espradilles !! Nice video.
I can‘t speak on the exact example you gave but for me, but I own 3 pairs of Chanel ballet flats. Reason for it is that they are the only ballet flats that don‘t hurt my feet and they fit perfectly. I have the classic beige which I wear the most because they go with everything, I also have a black pair for more dressy occasions and also a navy pair because I wear a lot of dark blue jeans and it goes perfectly. I probably wouldn‘t buy a 4th pair though because the 3 I have are enough. So 6-8 pairs of the same shoe is a little excessive and I don‘t think you‘d get use out of every single pair. But I guess they just really love their espadrilles 🤷🏻♀️
@@TheBeautyNovel I totally understand your situation, but you said it yourself , that you won't consider buying 4th pair, that I mean, if I love something soo much I will go highest upto 3, if I ever buy a Chanel Espradille , just one pair is enough I think , but upto 2 pair I find ok.
You are so right!
# 1, I don't understand getting 3 Speedy in the same size. You are so right, it's a waste of money buying designer SLGs. A handbag gives a bigger bang!
👏🏽👏🏽Very Great advice, I always have built my wardrobe that way. As for logos I totally agree with u I do incorporate in my wardrobe.💕💕
Could listen to Erica talk for hours 🤣💖
Always
SuSu SeaSky
I agree.
Glad to finally hear another opinion on UA-cam, and actually a sensible one. Most just follow the « general opinion ». I respect much more people that have the honesty to speak up and develop their personal opinion. That is what makes you special and « classy » in some sense.
Ohhhhh yeah, totally agree! Specially with the point of fashion is having fun an not only worrying about future retail value, in my entire life I may have only sold one single bag of mine and I hated that bag after I bought her, she hated me too. Love your style your vibe your contagious happiness. 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
AWESOME!!! So many gr8 and accurate points. I'm so with you especially on points 3,4,&5. Variety is integral in your personal collection and d world at large. Can u imagine how dull and stiff life would be everyone walked around looking and behaving tbe same?!!!. I found this very entertaining and informative. WONDERFUL
You are so correct Erica!! Love your video and your tips. You have great fashion 🥰🙌🏼
Erica, you are so right about personal style. We are all different, that what makes this world beautiful. I love your personally. You are fun to watch, your editing skills are superior. The way you put your video together almost an art. Keep doing what you do. 🤗😘
I love you so much Erica! The classic rant was so on point! I personally like unique pieces, bold colors, huge shoulders, different prints, thigh high boots, metallics... I’d never want to dress classic unless I’m going to a formal event. i don’t get why anybody should be looked down upon if they don’t dress like Audrey Hepburn! It’s not everybody’s style. Imagine how boring life would be if we all dressed the same.
Well done Erica 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 gentle tongue lashings mama! Agree with you on ALL counts! Logo when done correctly looks more like a pattern than logo, it’s stunning! I love seeing bag collections that have been acquired over time with killer pieces that are no longer available, some items exceed resell value when done correctly. Small leather goods in bulk give me anxiety and no I don’t have time to be changing my small leather goods 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Erica . You are SO much fun to watch. Love your vibe. You tell it like it is. Very good point made in the video. Fashion is supposed to be fun.
I agree with everything your saying! Lots of times all those slgs are a handbag. Also logo’s done tastefully is very nice. Love your videos!
Would love to see a video on dressing body shape and age appropriate.
Honestly after this video, I actually believe we think the same. I agree. I say whats the point of buying expensive clothes that quite honestly I want to show off and not show it off. I don’t get it. Express yourself. You are so right about resale value that people think of. I just got introduced to your videos a couple of months ago among other luxury item videos. That’s all you hear and it’s so annoying. They like the bag but won’t buy it because it’s not an investment. To me, if you like it, buy it. Hasn’t it always been like that
Loved this video, really great tips here thanks for sharing doll! 😘
Why do you care what others say or think of you? You should just ignore and do YOUR thing.
Also, there is no such thing as ‘mistakes’ .... you do your thing and others will do their own thing.
I totally agree 💯! The only ones who really care what others think are trying too hard or wannabes. I love opening my bag and seeing all my SLGs. I carry Louis Vuitton, and YSL, Dior, Bally and don't care what others think, I spend my money on what I like, to please ME not others LOL!
Well said. Buy what you want.
@@lisahenry463 agree! Buy what you like, not to impress others that's just absolutely insane 😂
Love your energy, passion and honesty! And agree - fashion snobbery is not cool and we should be bold and enjoy fashion that suits our aesthetics than conforming to what others tell you what is fashionable. 👍
Well said Erica! May I add that we need to also change our look from time to time; i.e make-up and hair because it's fun!
Girl hands down your best video... I agree with you on every point and was thinking the samething. Buy what you love, forget what other's thin,k and forget about the darn re-sell value, great video.
Enjoyed your tips! Thank you for your being real and honest about your own mistakes about buying luxury items. I’ve actually implemented some of your tips; adding variety to my luxury collection like adding different types of bags instead of the same kind from the same fashion house, and also added belts, shoes and accessories like scarves and fashion jewelry to my collection. I’m very conscientious when it comes to putting together my outfits. I’m usually wearing only 2 designer items, bag and shoes or bag and belt or bag, belt and shoes but 1 of them have to be a very subtle logo.
The only logo I get is LV, and it’s only because the monogram is the style and it looks hella good to me 🤩🤩
That's right, to each it own.....
PINK_GODDESS_747 💖💖💖
I love love love this. Learned a lot of things. Subscribed!
Fashion and living is about fun!!! Loooove you so much!!!
Watching Erica dressed up so edgie and stylish makes me feel so classic. I wish I could be bold enough to get away from this. But never is too late. Thanks Erica 😘
Great video and informative advice! Love your style and confidence!
Lol... my sentiments exactly! You nailed it with this Erica! 👍🏻 you said a lot of the things I think to myself when looking at IG. Why on earth would somebody need so much of the same?! A thousand SLGs? It’s never made sense to me. I totally agree with everything you said! Making it a point to add RTW to an already nice collection of bags and shoes is a must and that’s exactly where I am at currently ☺️ There are still a few category of bags I still need to add but it’s so important to add those beautiful high quality pieces of clothing to any collection. Great job sista! ❤️
I love how high pitched your voice is, it's just like mine. I can hear you when I'm doing my chores.
Love this video..it really help me reevaluate my designers purchase..❤️Thank you love!!
I like logos, but I think mixing logos most times look tacky. You are so right about spending tons of slgs and bag charms. I have two wallets and two cardholders. One cardholder holds my work ID and train pass. I do want a larger wallet that I can use as a clutch or a wow, but I only need one. Nobody needs three wallets in different colors. I think it’s smart to spend money on good quality pieces that are not too trendy. There’s plenty of brands that have excellent quality clothes that don’t cost thousands but are miles ahead of H&M.
Oh, girl, I am one of those folks that change out my bag and SLGs multiple times a week, mainly because it brings me joy! I still love many of your other suggestions on your list, though! Great vid!
Good point on the difference between aesthetics and classy. Its all how you wear, not what you wear. I have several slgs and I do indeed rotate them, but tbh I don't give a rats if anyone sees them, its only important that I enjoy them. There's also the issue that I can't do RTW because its all the size of a handkerchief and just no. I do other high quality clothes because you're right, high quality clothes make a huge difference. I laugh at the resale conversations. Once it comes here it never leaves; resale is irrelevant.
I agree with everything you said *but* I do change my wallets/cardholders often, but based on size needs or if 2 colors might be a bad idea (example: white wallet near colors that might transfer or black wallet in big black bag)
I love what you had to say! It’s always good to take a step back and reassess your collection. I do that too - if I like something, I sometimes get tempted to buy two since I can’t decide on one color or something...... Looking forward to more of your videos.
I never understood why people put so much emphasis on what another human being looks like. For example, what is Class E. All of this is prospective. And oftentimes a lot of this is coming from a European egocentric mindset. Because people come from different cultures. And one culture one thing it might be considered classy in another culture it might not. So when you get different ethnicities buying a Brand's clothing. Oftentimes they tend to style it based on the culture that they represent. Another thing that I don't like it's how to look expensive. What exactly is expensive? Is it the quality of the clothes? Is it how much you paid for the clothes? And then by whose standard or metric are we using. Because expensive is relative. And I agree with you about the small luxury items. Those things are impulse items. They tend to be the cheapest to buy. So when people are starting a luxury Channel they tend to start their first. And then when you can't afford the bigger items the luxury items help you keep that content flowing. now as far as walking into a restaurant with a $50 our address and a $2,000 bag. I don't really have a problem with that. I subscribe to a girl named Milo Lux. And I'll follow a lot of drag queens and they mix and match all the time as well. But to each his own. At the end of the day. They're just clothes you paid for wear them how you want
Erica, love this video. You are sooo on point; I couldn't agree with you more. Two thumbs up on this one.
You make an excellent point about black bags. A black bag is a black bag. Majority of the people not going to notice minute details. To them one black Chanel bag looks just like another. I personally own only one black bag and that is my work bag. For my days out, I like to have some color. But I got to say, logos are not my thing. I don't mind an SLG covered in logos, but never a bag or clothes. It would make me feel like a walking advertisement.
You are looking so lovely I love your new hair and make up style 😍 I always love your videos and this one is great thanks for the advice ! Love from the UK! 💖💕✨✨✨ Xxx
WOW! This video is SPOT ON! I certainly do not understand at all these youtubers buying a TON of slg's, it just doesn't make sense to me. I have a few and use them all. I certainly do not have time to switch out slg's all the time, nor would I want to....what a waste of money. Again, the black Chanel bags....love this. Who needs multiple black Chanel bags, I too always thought they look alike.
you should write a book about the luxury stairwell :)
사모님CLARA I agree.
Such a good idea!
OMG, totally agree...I stopped buying the small purchases a while back 👍
Also, style is a preference for sure, just like food. Wear, eat and drink what makes you happy.
💯💯💯💯 agreed!!! I need to de clutter and start selling.. normally i only buy classic black luxe bags and now i am buying pink and bright colour bags to have some fun and just spice up my boring outfit..
stay blessed beautiful xx
Very interesring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love so much color!!!!!
I love your videos Erica, but mostly I love your honesty and candidness ❤️
Thank you very much for been real and no crap love your videos hun xx
Totally agree with u Erica!! And thanks for sharing with us all these precious tips!! I really learn a lot and am making the same mistakes. I too tends to buy similar items. It’s like I have one Balenciaga city and one Balenciaga part time, one pair of Christian Louboutin Claire and one pair of Pigalle, few pair of white sneakers and planning to another set of Hermes earrings and necklace in another colour. I never realised that I am having that issue until u mentioned. Another tip that I learn is that I shouldn’t be investing in SLG which cannot be seen. Thanks Erica again
I just loved this video Erica! It demonstrates what a strong and confident woman you are! Congratulations.
Thanks for your honest video with a lot of great tips! I agree with you. /Marie from Sweden
Great video!!! Agree 100% especially with over doing the logos! Have a fabulous day gorgeous lady!
I bought Coach card holder and it very functional I love it so much and price wide really good price not crazy price like Chanel or other high end brands. It is so easy to move from one bag to another or just slip in my pocket when I no need to take my hand bag.
I bought brand new Louis Vuitton purse it sit on my wardrobe hardly use and feel wasting my money.
It is great tips here from you and thank you 🙏 for sharing
I could not agree with you more on all your tips! Love love love you!
Darling, it’s not a crime to re-wear an outfit; it shows you love your clothes!
You are right. Clothing should represent your signature style. Class is how you carry yourself. Class is born not made or bought as my mother always taught me.
I could not agree more on the people overfocusing on classics rather than trends - enjoy your life! so true! if you love something, why not enjoy wearing it a lot for 1-2 years at least, maybe much longer! and yes to contemporary looks. so much fun, being in the moment a bit!
Errrrriccccaaaaa......sssoooo trueee! Thanks for sharing your thoughts girl. You really rock. Keep it up. Love your videos, Can't wait for the next one.Ciao.
Totally on point Erica!❤️ But she’s so different than me!🥶 I can’t believe people have the nerves to say that & not realize how rude that is! Of course it would rub anyone the wrong way!🤯 Hope you have an amazing week lvoe!😘😘😘 Gina❤️
Im neww🤗🤗🤗lately slmost all content in the gurus of the luxury world is sponsored😑hardly know whats a real feedback or money behind it but so glad to have found such an authentic person like u🤗
Go check out Minks4all, she's a true UA-camr not being sponsorship to say anything, she gives her opinion on ALL luxury brands.
Ok, so I thought I knew luxury shopping but apparently I didn’t know luxury strategic shopping. Love the perspective and subscribed to your channel effective NOW
Part of the fun is playing with my purses and that includes playing with my slg’s . In the end, it’s about having fun, whatever that may boil down to.
This is the best advice ever Erica! Love you for it.
Erica, I'm so glad you discussed the logo topic at length, nobody does that! I often complain to my husband that all the girls I like on youtube seem to love logos on everything they buy, but I don't like logos. After saying that to him a bunch of times I started thinking about this further and I have so many different thoughts. For instance, I heard that there was a new female designer at Dior and that the show was in Morocco, which I dream of visiting one day. When I watched the fashion show online I was whisked away into a Moroccan fantasy and was so inspired. I just imagined myself in another time wearing those clothes with my fabulous fantasy friends (we're all models in this fantasy) in a Moroccan resort. Then later in the show all the Dior logo belts and purses started showing up in the looks. I noticed it pulled me out of this fantasy world. So I think logos can pull me out of the fantasy the clothes are creating. My other criticism of logos is that whenever there is a logo there is usually a higher price on the item. This always makes me feel like I'm paying for the name and not the quality and the quality is what draws me to the designer items. So I guess it feels lazy by the designer like they just slap a logo on something and then can charge more. And last but not least, because I live in New York and so much of my life is walking instead of driving I feel like I have to be more careful with being flashy. I don't have a car as protection from the outside world so I would feel more vulnerable wearing logos. Now, because I went to college in Miami I totally understand the difference in style there. People are loud and loving it and a lot of your viewers will have no understanding of this until they actually visit and experience it for themselves. Also, an interesting phenomenon has happened to me with a recent designer Loewe bag that's making me think of trying something with logos. It is amazing quality and I love it, but a fascinating thing has happened to me in wearing it. An "in the know" person would recognize the very understated Loewe logo, but even at places like Barneys in New York I don't seem to get respect when wearing it. I'm not talking about out right rudeness or anything, but that subtle respect that sales people will give when they can tell you can afford what they are offering. So I think we know almost subconsciously that an obvious logo will just put it right out there front and center that this is a fancy bag darn it, respect me! I now see this as a true benefit in an almost primal way. Like I was eating at Bergdorfs the other day and almost every single woman had a Chanel bag. They know what says prestige. My fantasy woman I want to become when I imagine her probably doesn't wear logos, but I think I will see if I can experiment with them at least a little bit to give it a try. I am always pushing myself to be open minded and try new things. And I would encourage you to morph your pet peeve on the logo topic into love. I've developed a few pet peeves living in New York and I recently made an effort to let them go and it's really improved my life. Those ladies love you or they wouldn't watch you and enjoy what you are doing. Next time someone says one of those triggering things for you, just try letting it go. That's what I did and it actually worked and became my new habit! It felt really good to let it go. You will continue to love logos and they might never like them and that's okay, keep being yourself and letting your light shine.
Sarah Elizabeth Foster - omg Sarah! What a beautiful thoughtful comment! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! I totally understand all your reasons for liking logos. Sometimes, there is just something that we are not attracted too and I think that it is totally ok. We don’t really choose what we love. It just happens. I just talking to my Hermes about this today. I was telling her that no matter what I do, I do not like silver hardware in Hermes bags. I am a gold girl and I when I see their palladium hardware bags, it’s just a turn off. I cannot bring myself to like it! So I think it is ok if someone doesn’t like logos. It is so personal. I just think people need to be more accepting of differences. I am so tired of being put down for not being classic! I know the exact collection from Dior you are talking about! It was absolutely stunning! It actually just hit stores! Thank for having an open mind and thank you for being such a ray of sunshine on my comments! And you are right: we need to let go of negativity. There is absolutely nothing good that comes out of it! Sending you much love!
Erica I always like yours video. We have to enjoy the cloth,handbags,shoes and accesories. Thanks.
Well said! Fashion is about being unique and have fun being a fashionable person...
1. Yes, a "classic" style is still just a style. Not everyone likes it / feels like they fit it either (I'm in the second category). I do not own any "classic" bags because that is not my style. Sometimes I feel like my style would be "better" if I had more classic pieces. I'd get a massive urge to invest in a classic luxury bag, but I cannot bring myself to buy one just because I don't love it as much as I should. Or I just look OUT OF PLACE.
2. I so agree with you about better quality / better quality looking clothes! A luxury bag can only go so far. Even if you have casual better quality clothes, you get the effect that the look is better because of all the detail, fit, material that went into the garments.
Erica would you ever consider (sometimes) wearing high end, colorful statement necklaces by artist/designers for a pop of color and fun in place of the logos? just for a change of pace..it would look soooo good on you and you may enjoy changing it up a little too. I agree classic is boring, but there are definitely other things you can do besides logos to show the fun creative colorful side of your style...that you may enjoy. (just be open minded to the idea:)
I love you way of seeing fashion. I agree with everything.
Hi 👋🏼Erica
I normally don’t like to comment but I been following you Chanel for a but 2 year now this is one of my favorite video so far after this video I’m going to start buying from others fashion house. what do you think about Chloe ? I kip on seeing this cute bags but I’m skeptical 🤨 abut it
Didn’t agree with all the tips 💯 but I was able to take away some great tips. Definitely agree with having fun and a modern approach on fashion.
Kimchi Mama - awww thank you so much for being a good sport! And thank you for taking time off of your day to watch! It means a lot!!😘😘😘
Ericas Girly World thank YOU for taking time out of your days to make this content!
Yessss. I love it...definitely looking at the Dior Book Tote, “VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE”....sooo appreciate your opinion.
Another Great Video....Just starting my luxury Stair well as you put which I ❤️ that concept, I had Gucci, some VERSACE, now
LOUIS VUTTON, but I need a BAG everyday CASUAL BAG, before I go to CHANEL next....lol...
What is your suggestion for a BLACK everyday bag? The LOUIS Vutton New Large Print or Dior Book tote, am torn?
Found you through TikTok and loving your videos!
This video was very helpful. I agree with you. Funny, I just came back from the Chanel store, (here in Las Vegas!!!!) and I saw a pair of sunglasses. When you said not to buy little, things (I've been looking for a bag since January. It will be my first, so it has to be FABULOUS), I said, "OK, I made up my mind, I'm not going to buy the $435 sunglasses, when I have several really nice ones (NOT CHANEL though, LOL). Then you said, "The Whole Look!!" Uh Oh, I need the sunglasses. I went on the website and there they were right on top, with the model wearing THEM!!! They look so good in person and great on me!!! I just kept saying, "Oh My God!" I felt like a Billion bucks. On my way home, I saw a license plate that said, "DARE2BU". I'm thinking to buy the sunglasses. And I buy bags that have a zipper in them. I put my card(s) and license in it, and there you have it! No need for a card holder or wallet. But I do have a pouch to hold miscellaneous things.
Great tips as always Erica, Thank you! 😘
I really love the blouse you're wearing in the thumbnail. White with a black tie bow. The only place I can find one is in really cheap polyester on AliExpress.
I love that Keepsake dress! Thats actually how I discovered you! Style Hard said she asked you where she got this dress. You're both so funny and knowledgeable about fashion.
Totally on point!......we all have different opinions about what fashion looks like, feels like, whats stylish and what appeals to us individually.....thank god, shit...it would be boring otherwise!!!!!!
So well said, especially about the logos!! I just discovered your channel and I am so happy :)
Erica keeps it Real again!! Great video, girl.
I still think logos are tacky. And a classy style makes you look elegant and refined easier.
Actually, I like both! I definitely dress in a very classy way, but I do enjoy some logos on my wallet 😉! But Erica is right, never should one person think she is better than another person, just because she dresses classy. I, for instance, hate jeans. I would never wear them. But if someone else loves wearing them, that's none of my business 🤷🏻♀️. (In general, I only think ripped and distressed jeans should really be thought over, they're simply ugly (sorry, personal opinion 🙊🙈!))
@@thalia7104 sure and I agree. SLGs are easy to wear and enjoy. Even some logo earrings, maybe a necklace or a scarf, they give you that special touch. I see more important to get focused on the fit, fabric and quality of the clothing. You could be wearing a Zara upper cashmere quality sweater with some nice bottom part, and killer Gianvito Rossi. No logos, no visible brands. And it would definitely make you look fancier than wearing and outfit of $4000 just in clothes from any logo-friendly brand.
Referring to the fact of thinking you're better than anybody else because of your clothes, that's ridiculous. I'd never do that. You can like it more or not, but it's not your body, style and money spent so we all are up to choose whatever we feel comfortable in. ✨
@@bruissancho Absolutely! I like Wolford a lot. They have very high quality, and actually, my wardrobe is complete with what I have. The pieces I have never go out of style. Since my body frame hasn't changed, I can even wear clothes I bought when I was about 16 years old (saved my pocket money for good clothing). Now and then I added a piece (if it was something special), but in general, I really don't "need" to buy any clothes 😊. I agree with Erica, one should have fun. But if you are happy with those clothes you have, then everything is fine (and you can spend the money on something else or just save it up for travelling or a more expensive item). And, to be honest, I think I would look ridiculous in clothes that are not classy 🤦🏻♀️😂! But that's the point, what is best for one person doesn't necessarily be the best way for another person...
I absolutely agree on high quality clothing. I only buy natural fibers too.
What I love about you is that you have such fun energy to your style and it takes little imagination to style black and nudes. Fashion is about fun and thanks for keeping it
💯
❤️
Everyone has their own personal style and everyone is individual and unique in every way. Either they are classic , boho,rock etc. If everyone would dress the same the world would be boring. Whatever your style is the main thing is to feel great and always be chic and classy.
Aditnetwork Mteam - amen! Exactly how I feel! Of course everybody makes videos about fashion advice so we have content to watch but we still need to remember that at the end of the day, it is 100% personal :) Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Erica! I am new to your channel and I am loving your personality and what I am seeing! Although my style leans toward the classic side, I thought I’d comment on what you were saying about people saying they couldnt follow you because you dont have their style or because you like logos. I think its beautiful when people learn from those who may be different from them or are open to different mindsets/people. What came to mind when watching this video was the show sex and the City. (Idk if you’ve watched it or not but if you have you will understand what Im about to say). All 4 women had different styles of dressing. Carrie was daring in her style, Charlotte was classic and timeless, Samantha was sexy and Miranda was sometimes boyish but they were all best friends! Their styles didnt stop them from hanging out with each other or loving each other and they didnt downplay each other’s styles and I really loved that about the show! So I say that to say that people shouldn’t put limits on another person and should broaden their horizons. No one is better than the next! Its Preference and its what makes the world a beautiful melting pot! 😊
Love your energy and honesty! To me, Being classy doesn’t mean dressing classic it means being respectful to others. What is classic to me may not be classic to someone else. Fashion is about self expression. It’s a form of art. So... in the words of Rodney King, “can’t we all just get along?” (Have I aged myself now? Haha!) Keep up the great videos! I always learn something new to try from you. 💕
