I hear you, and want to remind us that we can look elevated with pieces we already have in our closets. Intention is self care, shopping not always required.
@@user-ih6vg4rr9r no but seriously. This needs to be talked about. This year I’m gonna learn to stay my butt home, I don’t need to be shopping every week!!
👊🏽Yes, in my family, we call it shopping in the house as there is always a piece/garment, etc. that can be worn/styled a different way or that can be old made new.✨️💐🙏🦋
@@CloudHeady if you lack comprehension just say that. It's not unknown. Where it's the average Jane and Joe having a nice home and appearance but internal issues or A-list celebrities with the same. Facts have proven looking good does not impact feeling good. Feeling good is a matter of the mind and nothing else.
Yesss👏🏽! My mama taught me to never walk out the house with bonnets, pajamas, and anything that would bring me or my parents shame. Even if I wore leggings and sneakers, I’d have to have earrings and a modest top with it. I’m so grateful for the lessons she taught me. I rather be overdressed and respected than underdressed any day.
I heard a comedy skit in another country and the guy seems to had spent some time living in the USA ; his jokes where about that US women going to the supermarket wearing pjs and flip-flops with socks and a hair bun while women in his country to go to the supermarket wearing leggings, ironed hair, and lipstick as if they were always ready to meet the man of their dreams!
@@SashaHalithat's not necessarily loosing respect. Just make sure your teeth , face, and body is clean, doesn't matter what you're wearing. An evil mofo can dress eloquently, so what's your point🤔
@@godsgirl7201 my brothers got the same lesson from my dad. My brothers were taught to dress for success. They too were not allowed to wear sleepwear or durags outside the house. Keeping a standard is unisex.
Needed to hear this today. I’ve been so depressed lately and switching between three old hoodies and leggings. Getting myself up and to the mall today. I think this is a step toward feeling better. Thank u❤️
Always. Thank you Coach! Covid NEVER reduced me to a slouch. Standards. Hold on to them no matter what. Worst years of my life so I dressed up, not down. Not fancy just casually elegant. And guess what? People noticed. Light is noticed in dark places. Let yours shine! Real talk. When you stand straighter, others perk up, too ⬆️
It definitely deserves exploration. I'm here for it. Because yes...I do roll out of bed and into sweats or leggings and pretty much handle life lol. I don't think I took my bonnet off all week. I could do with some elevated casual on a budget lol
I've always followed this rule and when I'm feeling crummy, got my monthly or super tired. I always put on a little more make up, do my hair and dres a little fancier cause just like I feel like garbage doesn't mean I have to look like it. I was sick yesterday and got so many compliments on my hair and fit because of this rule
this year I want to be way more intentional about dressing I gained weight and just felt like throwing on leggings but I need to get back to me and show up EVERYDAY love this elevated look
Agreed. Too many times I felt bummy in my hoodie and slides at Kroger thinking “ I hope I don’t see anybody I know” lol. All embarrassed. You really do feel better when you put in effort.
Your so pretty! I put a little make up on daily for myself even if im not going anywhere. When you look good, you feel good and project a positive vibe! Thank you for this upbeat incentive.😊
So happy I came across this! I was just telling my best friend that I forget how good I can look and how amazing I feel when I look good, because I dress so frumpy for everyday errands. I told her I wanted to look good even on casual days. Now I can refer to it as 'elevated casual' ❤
Thank you so much for this vid as you're so right about doing the elevated casual look as you do feel better about how you present yourself to the world.
Yeap last year I bought a bunch of 2 piece outfits for running errands. For my body type, wide leg pants and loose button down blouse was perfect! I even wore one traveling and got soooooo many compliments
I’ve done this for years lol. I have specific errand outfits. In the summer time I have an errands dress. Using specific errand outfits makes it soooo much easier! You will always feel put together. The best part you don’t have to go out of your way finding a fit because that’s what it’s fir specifically ✨
As a chronically ill person, and during the pandemic, I knew I would be home constantly, but did not want to look awful every day so I adopted this method so many years ago wearing cashmere pieces. I call it wearing pajamas but not looking like you are I’ve gotten so many compliments when I wear a long, cozy, maxi skirts and matching cashmere tops and people actually think I tried. It’s amazing. They actually think that I did a lot of work when I put onwide legged, two pieces sets with sneakers and some nice jewelry and an overcoat. It looks really really nice but you didn’t do anything more than when you put sweats and leggings on.
Amen to this notice! Its so natural for me to get cute casual when running errands and grocery shopping. Raised in the south, you were taught not to walk out the house looking tacky and ragged, not even going to the corner store.
Fragance, yes, I sometimes forget to put some perfume and then someome goes by and leave this fragance and it's so nice, fresh, so besides making yourself feel good you may be bringing someone else a nice moment, sn inspiration
You look great! Love the grey! I’ve always loved twinsets and mix matching them and paring them with different bottoms makes dressing a breeze. A couple of pieces of good signature jewelry and an easy all round crossbody bag with coordinating footwear quickly pulls it all together.
I stopped wearing my bonnets when I run errands. I mean that’s the best I can do, because I feel good in my relaxed sweats and yoga pants. And depending on the shirts I wear with them, I feel like I look good too. The weekends and off days I try not to think too hard about what I’m going to wear. As long as it matches and my kids look good, we’re good to go!
I love this whole ensemble! And she is absolutely right about looking and feeling good. I absolutely do my hair and makeup every day. It makes me feel great and it helps with having a daily ritual with my ADHD tendencies. 😆
While it does give “expensive” it’s not cashmere(I have it in grey and cream). It’s actually a set sold at Zara sometime around the end of October/beginning November. You should check their website but they might not have it anymore in stock.
I love this ! I wanna feel good even when I run errands. And even look at errand running differently. 😂 like have a good time no matter what I’m doing 🥰
Hey Boo, Thanks for the reminder. I always tell my son, smell good, look good, feel good, be good, and do good! 💕💕💕 All in that order and life may just (prayerfully) do you good too! This blessed my day!🫂💕🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh yes... I've always referred to "elevated casual" as "casual chic." I know that style and do it for my version of "Casual Friday" at work. Now, from what I've been inspired by on social media lately, I plan on extending "getting dressed" or "casual chic" to running errands on the weekends. I do afterall need to wear and make use of my massive wardrobe.
My self care coach, THANK YOU. I’ve been looking for this term for a year ELEVATED CASUAL. Lil sis keeps coming through!! Love this. As a wife and mom to teens, who don’t drive, all I do is commute here, there and everywhere - in those sweatpants 😂😂. Love you girl! ❤
Sis popped ALL the way out with grey on grey! Went from bag lady to “who fine a$$ momma or auntie is that in less than 30 seconds! Beautiful! This is what I need easy, classy, fire!
I love to wear golf outfits. I play golf so I already have them but they are somewhat fancy but are also made to move in. Often times I'll wear my white skort with a collard sport tank top and my tennis shoes with my jewelry. Golf clothes or tennis clothes are cute af and would be worth at least incorporating certain pieces into your wardrobe.
YES YES YES! I dress in elevated casual or even dressed up when I leave my house because it makes me feel better! I couldn’t care less if anyone else likes my outfits, it’s about me!
I just left an abusive marriage 11 weeks ago. I’m struggling just to brush my hair. He told me I’m not a person on my needs don’t matter. I realized that I started believing him. I thought It would be easy to practice self-care after years gone and it is such a struggle.😢❤
Give yourself the credit you deserve one day at a time, heal breath and repair. All the good things coming your way be your own kind of beautiful 😊 (I've been in those shoes it takes time to just be you) 💐❤️
Elevated casual, I like that! I was just thinking about this subject the other day because athleisure wear is a generally the go to for an errand look but I don't feel like that compliments my aesthetic. You got a new follower out of me!
Dear Sis, will you please explain to all the females who insist on wearing bonnets in public how much other people LOVE to see us downgrade ourselves; it’s another excuse to keep us out of the competition. Bonnet wearers think it’s Black freedom of expression. They rest of us know better.
Moms, we love y’all. We love how you serve and put time in your families. This year I hope you take a few extra minutes for yourselves. If you need to take a couple extra dollars for you, please do. Y’all deserve it ✨
I hear you, and want to remind us that we can look elevated with pieces we already have in our closets. Intention is self care, shopping not always required.
Preach! These influencers will have you thinking you need to go shopping every week! Practice self control, save and invest your money wisely.

You ain't by yourself Sis, ME TOO!
❤ We got this ladies
Love the diff shades of grey!
Love elevated casual. I did that yesterday and ran into a very nice looking man.
Okurrrrrr🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My mom adds to it: when you look good, you feel good and when you feel good, you do good! Love it!
🙌🏿 Mama dropped a gem❤ 💎
I like that ❤
Except looking good doesn’t actually help people. Its plenty of good looking people who don’t feel good and need a great deal of healing

Yes! I started doing this about a year ago and it makes a huge difference. People respect you way more as well.
That's called respectability politics and is classist ableist racist and sexist, not a good thing in the slightest.
They sure do treat you better…maybe cuz it looks like you care about yourself.

You brought it home and went there. That outfit is very cute and casual. Dig the look. ❤️🧘🏽♀️
Came to the comments JUST to find this post ‼️😂
And no holes in your panties and bras
I started doing this after the shutdown. It really does feel good putting in a lot more effort for the casual little things in life.

Yessss! Love this! "Unhoused" lol I always look in the mirror and will ask myself "do I look homeless or like I have no guidance?" 😂 Thanks for this!
That outfit was it!! ❤ I needed to hear this message. Been wearing leggings and t-shirts far too often.
I love an elevated casual look. I need a whole series just on this topic.
It definitely deserves exploration. I'm here for it. Because yes...I do roll out of bed and into sweats or leggings and pretty much handle life lol. I don't think I took my bonnet off all week. I could do with some elevated casual on a budget lol

When you look good, you feel good and project a positive vibe!
Thank you for this upbeat incentive.😊
Now sis sending me to Pinterest to look for more elevated casual for summer. Cause her lil sis here lives in the Caribbean.
Not me wearing a hoodie watching this; the good sis lovingly dragged me 😂❤
Same here
😂😂😂
Same here
You can def elevate a hoodie with a nice wool coat, hair done with or without a cap with some shades.
Samesies
Great advice for us once exec level employees and now retirees. I need to elevate casual! Thank you.
So happy I came across this! I was just telling my best friend that I forget how good I can look and how amazing I feel when I look good, because I dress so frumpy for everyday errands. I told her I wanted to look good even on casual days. Now I can refer to it as 'elevated casual' ❤
Very cute! And this is why I just opt for a dress in every situation. One full piece I can throw on
I literally just bought a Cashmere set just like that (Grey & Sleeveless turtleneck) cost me an arm but your video confirmed IT'S WORTH IT❤
Thank you so much for this vid as you're so right about doing the elevated casual look as you do feel better about how you present yourself to the world.
This was so needed. Please if you could share some places I can buy some cute and comfortable elevated casual outfits
At almost 60...Amen lil sis. Y'all got grandma in them stores two weeks in a row! Subscribed!!!!!!

Love this look! I’m down for elevated casual
This was such a feel-good vibe sis. Much appreciation.
Loved this! Just the pep talk I need.
Teacher-Wear or Comfy-Casual-Cute is what I always go for!💜💜💜
Absolutely gorgeous. I love this idea. Some days it's a struggle mentally, to pull a good outfit together for work.
I have to put my outfits together the day before. That helps because the morning is stressful

Love this! I consider myself to be a fashionista but I’ve been falling off the rails a bit lately. Stepping up my game in 2024. Thanks sis!
Adding the fashion glasses pulled the look together for me. Well done👏🏽
