XOXO - Навчання та стиль
Hi lovely friends. I hope you are all well. Do you have any personal tips or anecdotes about looking or not looking cheap (inadvertently of course!)? Lots of love. Deirdre. XX
Thank you!!!!
I have switched all my clothing to Cotten…linen…silk…wool…leather…no faux or polyester
Sometimes you have to buy nicer buttons for blazers and suit jackets, getting something metallic or pearl finish looks so much better and it doesn't cost that much.
I agree 🙂
I’ve done this often.
There’s that beautiful kitty, extra points for videos with cats in them❤
Ha ha! Yes, she's my beautiful baby and I adore cats too!! XX
I clean my shoes every single day at the end of the day. Chanel is adorable
me too! 😁😁
Hi Deirdre, Another excellent informative chat. Regarding buttons my mum used to often buy prettier nicer buttons and change them on her cardigan's, shirt's and coats etc it really did make a lot of difference for such little cost. I have occasionally used the same trick and it's been very successful 🙂
Bravo Deirdre! You are spot on. I know this video is titled "outfits" but grooming is key. Chipped nail polish is a definite way to look cheap.
So true! XX
Designers and brands work hard to come up with and promote phony “trends” in ways that they can use dirt-cheap materials. This season’s trends are a good example: lace, sheers, mesh, etc., are all deliberately promoted to use these cheap material, polyester, they’re made of. The only reason synthetics are ever used is to reduce their production costs and increase their profits astronomically. We don’t need them, ever.
I so agree with you. XX
Agreed, a few years ago I bought a couple of lovely fine cotton print blouses from H&M now all the blouses if you got near a naked flame would ignite - it’s polyester or polyester or polyester 😮
I think makeup is every bit as important as clothing choice. I have learned to step back and take a look at my face’s “over all” effect-no raccoon eyes, no overly dark liner or brows, no white circles under the eyes from poorly blended concealer, etc. 😏I can’t look young again, or make the wrinkles or sags go away, but I can be sure my makeup looks classy.
Tailor's are commonly used without question across the pond....in America it's a rarity they buy cheap off the rail!!! Plus high end stores used to offer alterations but no more....
Good tips and reminders, thank you Deidre. Beautiful off-white jacket, very stylish. And beautiful little baby Chanel, she is such a sweetie. xx
Thank you. She’s my darling. Xx
I love your winter white outfit, it’s totally gorgeous.
Thank you, Barbara. I love these tones in the winter. XX
Deirdre I have changed buttons on different outfits. It makes them look classy and can change the look so much that others won’t even recognize them. It’s getting easier and easier to copy expensive pieces of clothing. Nothing looks worse than wearing a pair of heels where the leather has been stripped from the heels. You need to put new taps on your heels and have the heels repaired to keep them . looking classy. Love you lots
Blessings
Hugs
Love
Victoria ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Totally agree with your points, Victoria. Lots of love to you too. XX
wonder if you can assist? I can’t find “links” to the seamless underwear you showed… can you help 🤔
Fashion tape solves that gap in the button up shirt.
Badly fitting clothes - explains a lot, especially why so many American men look “cheap”😢
Agree with your tips… especially regarding how clothing fits. Too tight looks cheap, too big looks sloppy. Always keep a portable steamer handy too. I do enjoy a neon green v neck t-shirt with white shorts in the summer oh lol! Have fun w fashion too.
Thanks so much for commenting and sharing your thoughts. Xx
Thank you for the tips, I will use them when I’m shopping for clothes. I admit on occasions that I have dressed cheap, but that’s only because I am on a budget but always make sure I am dressed neat and tidy. I prefer to shop at a more discount store but still choose clothes that are modern and fashionable. You don’t need to spend a million bucks to look a million bucks.
So true! XX
Thank you for all your tips. I have made mistakes in the past buying fast fashion. I don’t do that any more. Keep your ideas coming Deirdre. 🌺🌺
I have tried many ways of cleaning the rubber buffer part of my trainers. The best I've come up with is "sticky stuff remover", available in hobby/craft shops. Its a bit oily though so I wipe with a dry cloth or paper towel afterwards.
The Magic Eraser sponge does a good job.
GREAT TIPS!!!!
PETS TO CHANEL!!!!
SHE IS ADORABLE!!!!
XXXXX

Great tips Deidre. Thank you ❤

Hi Deirdre! Another great video! Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Take care. XX
Stuffed sausages! LOL
Love listening to your advice and what a treat to see Chantelle in this video, she’s gorgeous 🤗 x
Thank you for sharing this video. I definitely gravitate towards neutral colours and particularly navy. That jacket looks lovely on you 🙂💜
Thank you so much Deirdre. Cheers
You are so welcome XX
Great advice as always Deidre thankyou 😊
You are so welcome XX
Excellent video. If you look around you can see how many people look just slobby. It particularly applies to shoes. I work at school and this video should be shown to young people, and teachers, surprise surprise how to look presentable.
Great point! XX
I totally agree with you, Joanna.
I had an education professor whose remark I have always remembered and followed during my 36 year career as an educator. She stated, "If you want to be treated with respect as a professional, you must dress like a professional."
She was not referring to cargo pants, a graphic T-shirt, and sneakers like I have seen many teachers wear (unfortunately).
Over the years, I received many compliments on my attire. I was given many opportunities to represent my school(s) in the district and the community based on the professionalism of my attire and behavior. Retirement is wonderful, but I still choose to look relevant and presentable when I go out in public.
@@ginnylee9928 that’s so good. I wish more people were like you xx
Great video Deidre. Always beneficial content. Ty so much.
Glad it was helpful! XX
Very clearly put! Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! XX
Eight big ticks for those style tips Deirdre. If anyone is struggling with what not to do with their look then these suggestions are going to point them in the right direction. Love the white jacket you’re wearing you look gorgeous. Thank you for another thoughtful video 🌸
Excellent tips! I use an inexpensive vegetable brushfire cleaning suede shoes, and so ft toothbrush. And always us a protective spray on them, and your handbag.
You look absolutely stunning! Would love to see a full length view of what you are wearing in this video. Your adorable kitty matched your outfit, too!
Thank you Deirdre! I absolutely love your videos and appreciate all the work you’ve done to bring such beautiful clothing to them and invaluable tips and examples of good fit, styling and accessories to make us look our very best every day! I look forward to every video and I have been a subscriber for at least a year with all notifications and I always “like” every video! ❤🙏
Thank you so much! Lots of love to you. XX
I smiled when you told us about your Dad. My Dad was also military and shone his shoes everyday. I find myself doing the same thing and I'm sure he's leaning over me, saying, "Well done G T." Thanks for the great video.
I feel the same way. Having a military father gives you lots of discipline like this, doesn't it? Lots of love to you. XX
Great topic today. You are very informative,as always 🥰💯🌷 Ty.
( Love Your Cat,so pretty)😻❤
XXX
Wish I could see the rest of your outfit. Your jacket looks lovely.
Good video...like allways! ❤👍
Thank you 🤗
I love your jacket Deidre. It looks stunning on you. Your cat is so sweet.
Thank you so much! XX
Great tips Deirdre, thank you. Like you suggested a tailor is our friend. Hi Chanel
Chanel says "meow"!! XX
I don’t wear any synthetic fibers or other plastics at all, even in blends. Once I developed skin allergies to them and began overheating in mid-life, they were just out of the question. My natural-fiber clothes and genuine leather accessories look much more elegant. Yes, they are more expensive, but worth it, if for the comfort if nothing else. I also hate Spandex, I hate being squeezed in anything. Knits are inherently stretchy, they don’t even need it.
Yes, I think natural fabrics always look better than synthetics and I certainly can't wear polyester as it makes me too hot! XX
What a great video, excellent tips. I am starting to like your videos more and more and have just subscribed.
Thank you so much, Valerie and welcome to my channel. XX
Great ideas. By the way, you look stunning in that jacket.
Oh thank you! XX
i dont wear a lot of rings, bracelets, necklaces together...also i always have well fiting underwear .thanks so much for this really great video.....
Excellent video. Number 3 is my all time pet peeve. Soma makes the best no show under garments. Hope all is well with you. I was actually in London last week and loved it.
So pleased you enjoyed your trip to London. XX
Hi Deidre, Love this video.....good grooming & putting in a bit of effort is not that hard!!!...I think society in the art of looking, neat, clean, & tidy
& smelling nice! in some instances has clearly gone out the preverbial window!!!...looking good doesnt have to cost a fortune, so I think your video is spot on!!! well done for bringing this forward!!!!..I see Chanel looking fabulous as purrrrrrr usual!!!!!!!!!!! love from Margaret in South Australia by the beach...............
You are so right, Margaret! It's a shame and, as you say, doesn't take time or money. Chanel says "meow"!! XX
Really enjoyed this video with all the practical suggestions - perhaps cos I agree with all of them! Especially polishing shoes. No stylish person wears scuffed dirty shoes.
You did not mention nails- an easy way to degrade an outfit is by not having clean short nails.
Excellent point! Thank you xx
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre Many of your pointers as to what makes a person looks cheap are 'small things'. And have clean nails is something that can easily be rectified and no cost.
Excellent tips! Which steamer do you use or recommend?
Thank you. One of the best steamers on the market is the Conair one but it's very pricey. Otherwise, I would recommend this one: amzn.to/3FtRmE1 or this one: amzn.to/46T4s9S
Spending a lot of money isn’t the cure for appearing cheap. Dolly Parten once remarked it cost her a lot of money to look this cheap. I find that classic pieces are longer lasting and give me more bang for my buck.
Absolutely agree! XX
I will now always remember that no one else knows the size of my garment. Love your ideas 🦘
Wish I could give 2 thumbs up for this video. Loved it. ❤
Thank you so much 😀 XX
Hi from Australia 🙋♀️
Hi to you too and welcome to all Australians. XX@@blondie8849
Instantly loving your cat! ❤🐱 And thank you for your lovely tips, Deirdre.
Thank you! 😊
Love your videos. Thank you. Also I can't stand seeing chipped nail varnis....it looks awful.
I agree with you about having a Tailor. I’m 5 “2 and my clothes I take to the cleaners because the lady there is a Great Tailor. She has a little place where you can try it on and then she pins it to you and fixes it. Sometimes it only cost $10 to hem some thing. I have to have everything tailored I don’t mind at all.😊🇺🇸I use the magic erasers on my white tennis shoes, it works great…
I so agree with you! I'm visiting mine this week as I always need my trousers to be taken up!! XX
@carlsenlifeaftercarl $10 for a hem is a real bargain. I’ve used tailors and noticed if I bring in too mamy more items to adjust after the first visits, prices go up. It seems that the tailors start to think I have a lot of disposable income to spare. [tailoring isn’t diapers, food, or mortgag/rent 🤭].
Deirdre, that Boden T-shirt is toooo form fitting. Do you have any other suggestions for quality T-shirts? I waste so much money trying to find good ones. Thanks!
Hi there. Valid point and thank you! One option of course is to just size up and that will make it looser. I am now working on including some other options of great quality t- shirts with double layers that are less fitting. Watch this space!! XX
Here are 2 more options - both less form fitting - one long sleeved and the other short sleeved - for UK and US. I hope this will help.
UK short sleeved: rstyle.me/+8iSDOjW2TO6nu2T5MyqxNQ
US: rstyle.me/+G3mIatmtzE-SnjbwN4saUg
UK long sleeved (again, size up but less form fitting):
rstyle.me/+t5D2qpFUiLoVTYu9bjZu6w
US: rstyle.me/+t5D2qpFUiLoVTYu9bjZu6w
I have stopped buying tee shirts. I've found better alternatives.
@@carolalvarez3925what are your alternatives
I love my fitted Boden T shirts! ❤
With a name like Chanel , she's more than welcome to join us . Coco Chanel and Wallace Simpson are my favourite style icon's.
My Chanel is almost as stylish as these ladies!! XX
Hope you’re enjoying fall! 😂
I never understood why women wear white or light bras under dark knits, do they never look in a mirror? Or vice-versa. A black bra is essential, as are some nude ones. I never bother buying a bra that isn’t a seamless, t-shirt bra. Lace, seams, etc., are always going to show through. Yes, lace, sexy bras can be pretty in a drawer, but they’re not meant to be seen, so that isn’t in the least important.
So true! Thanks Kimberly. XX
I wouldn’t be surprised if scuffed, dirty shoes become all the rage at some point in the future. Like ripped, distressed denim is acceptable and fashionable now, and has been for a long time.
I mean -tragically- (bc of the Rigged 2020 Election {in America}, we-ARE well on our way to becoming a 3rd world country....where dirty nasty old sneakers would be all that we had.
May God forbid it, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Unfortunately, they already have. 😢
I can't do without my hand steamer and my tailor. I'm very particular about my clothes being fresh, pressed and fitting well. I have a dress ( great price from QVC) in a black, beige and ivory print that is almost exactly the style of the first medium blue you presented. It is at my tailors being shortened to knee length and taken in on the sides. It will look so nice when finished. I will wear it in warm weather with leg makeup and .offers and when temps drop, black tights with black suede loafers. I also dry clean many items. My clothes seem to last longer with dry cleaning..and the linen pieces come back so perfectly pressed. I watch for sales and never purchase polyester. If I only wear a cotton blouse a few hours, it goes to the " to be steamed area" so it's all perfect when I'm ready to dress. I went " out of my box" recently and bought a somewhat bohemian brightly multi colored patterned blouse from Talbots.
Can't wait to wear it but it's too interesting for an everyday top. Always love your videos Deidre.
Thanks so much for sharing, Carol. XX
Watching this video is like sitting with my best friend, who tells the truth, but is not trying to hurt my feelings.
Aww, that's so kind of you. I love that. I AM your best style friend! XX
Hi
Omg. Those pictures lol
I enjoyed this video. I am going through my closet for the new season and checking all my pieces to make sure the fit is good, in style, and in good condition.
Great idea! XX
I agree with all of these, and I do follow them all. However, I struggle with tops. Having large breasts makes it a challenge. I wear a medium top, but often they are too tight in the bust. If I go up to a large, they fit my bust, but are way too big everywhere else. 🤦🏻♀️
I'm hoping to do another video about how to dress a large bust very soon. XX
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre Great. I’ll be watching for it!😊
My trick is to buy to fit my largest part, then have the rest taken in. I need to do this with nearly every top or dress I buy. It can get expensive but it makes a huge difference in how I look and feel.
Want Chanel to appear every time!! Oh to be dressed as smartly as a cat and learn to look behave and sit neatly like a cat.
I love this! XX
I’d also add that your clothes should be neatly pressed. Don’t want to look like you picked it up out of the laundry basket
Absolutely!!! Ironing or steaming is really important. Thanks Terri. XX
I like cheap items. I love them. People compliment me all the time. Love my cheap clothes.
She’s not talking about clothes that didn’t cost much. She’s talking about wearing clothes that LOOK as if they didn’t cost much. But I think you know that and are being facetious, lol.
@@verenamaharajah6082 I like cheap items. I love them. People compliment me all the time. Love my cheap clothes..
You forgot to say… don’t over do the makeup! There is nothing worse to see a woman nicely dressed, and her makeup is caked on her face. Some women use the wrong highlighter and they look like pandas, or there blusher is in the wrong place.
Please forgive me for sounding uppity but recently my daughters and i sat in a shopping center we seldom go to. We were shocked at the way most people looked. Most people there looked totally sloppy. We weren't trying to be judgemental. But ill fitting clothing, dirty shoes. Etc. I certainly hope this is not the style of the future. Even cheap clothes that are clean, wrinkle free and well fitted can make such a difference.
The obvious case that money can't buy class is Meghan Markle. She is wearing expensive beige clothes but they are not fit, ironed nor she knows anything about underwear. Too bad she doesn't follow your channel, she could find out that she broke all 8 rules you mentioned!
…and, of course, wearing very tight yoga pants when you are not doing yoga…seeing every lump and bump-front and back…is terribly cheap.
kiss to chanel
