    Love your channel, advice, and style. I’m 61 and still love fashion and dressing classy and younger. Maybe mention that you are also here for the over 50 and 60 and not just the over 40! Some of us 60 year olds still feel like we are in our 40s! Your channel helps!

      Thank you SO much, Janette! The highest percentage of my viewers are in the 35-55 range however I think a lot of my tips could apply to those younger and older than that age range. SO glad you find my content helpful! My plan is to still feel like I'm in my 40s when I'm 60 too! xo

    Erin, I moved to Manhattan (from Los Angeles) 2 years ago and I really felt the need to step up my style game. I didn't really know how to go about it. You've changed my life for the better and I'm so grateful I discovered you. Over the past 4 months, I've created (a rather enormous) new wardrobe, all based on your videos and advice. Thank you so very much for helping us discover our best selves!

    One of the most important things about looking elegant is impeccable grooming.. Truly important to have brushed hair/styled hair.. no chipped polish...Also your clothing must be pressed/wrinkle free and no hanging/missing buttons..no hanging threads rips or tears.. Clean shoes/boots..Anything done after that helps to create a look for the day.. No ripped/cropped anything and simple jewelry.. A trench coat can save the day❣️A smile😃 and humorous attitude is elegant and quite contagious...Have a nice day❣️

    • @txspacemom765
      @txspacemom765 4 роки тому +5

      This comment is everything! Impeccable grooming is a BIG yes! I can wear a white t shirt and jeans, with some CLEAN suede slip ons. If it's cooler out, throw on the trench and add leather ballet flats, to spiff it up a bit. I am a watch girl, so that is my go to. My nails are short but groomed and painted with a kiss of pink. Scrape off half your makeup and PLEASE LADIES...tone down all the smelly stuff you wear..it's grosse. Brush your hair out and forget MESSY BUNS....a nice neat bun always looks better to me and looks like you made an effort. I'm not rich and I have about 40 pieces in my entire wardrobe and I feel classy and put together. I keep it really simple. I do have some forest green in my wardrobe. It replaces black and navy for me, as they are too harsh on me. And have a few dresses because they can take you from meetings to your kids soccer games, through all kinds of weather and events, easy peasy And smile!

    I recently started dressing up fancy EVERY single day. I got a great apron so I can still clean, cook, and manage my house while dressed in heals, and my life has changed SOOO much since I started my #30daysdressed campaign. I will NEVER go back to wearing jeans and t-shirts. Oddly enough my husband didn't even own a collared shirt when we met, and now he is dressing up all the time with me. We go out all the time, and not because I am just bugging him. He loves taking photos now, and our lives have truly been changed beyond measure. I love your video as it helps get people thinking about the way they look.

    Soon to be 61 and LOVE fashion. While my “dressing” changed since working from home I still try to look put together if I venture out. I will say self confidence is one of the best fashion boosters. ALWAYS wear my nails short but black. I met my sis for lunch & overheard the waitress mention to someone how great my style was. Most of my outfit was 2nd hand including my shoes. I’m waiting to invest in your bag!

    Really great video! I love how you make elegance look doable and the before and afters are so helpful. I wonder if it’s really necessary to invest in a bag that costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The too long strap on the scoop bag could easily be shortened at a shoe repair shop for about $5. And there are so many great vegan leather, elegant looking bags that are dupes for the more expensive designer bags out there. Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, DSW and Amazon are good places to look. Showing the designer bags is great though because it helps me know what to look for in a dupe! Thank you for your awesome tips!

    Love the last tip as one of the most important. When I went through the darkest days of my life, and no one knew I was going through them, it all had to do with the way I was presenting myself. I held my head up high, I smiled, I wore make up and did my hair every day, and even though on the inside I felt miserable on the outside I present it something extremely different!

    I love this!! It is more about finding our signature style rather than wearing what's on trend. The more I go along, I realise I like (and suit) simple tops and A-line skirts. I just don't like fuss around my neck and shoulders but I do like drama on the bottom half. The trends can be so persuasive and also when they saturate the shops, finding what works for me can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I always remember the Coco Chanel mantra "before you leave the house, look in mirror and take one thing off"

She had a few very nice suits and dresses that she had for church or special occasions. Day dressing was always simple but sometimes very simple. She kept a minimalist wardrobe. Her items were excellent quality and she kept them a long time. All of her clothes fit her well. I think she had 5 pair of earrings. She was the Jackie O in the family . She too lived in the country. She was always elegant.

    Your tips seem so simple - once you share them with us! I think we end up seeing all of the trends so much that we forget the ease and beauty of dressing with at least of touch of elegance. And tip number 10 embodies my catch phrase: _"No matter the season, no matter your style, you're never fully dressed without a smile!"_ :) Great video as per usual, Erin - thank you! Shannon A.

    Really great content here Erin. Footwear definitely sets the tone. I just turned 60-0h-no and live a casual lifestyle but want to stay out of Frumptown. Don't want to look like I'm from Cougarville either. So many of your tips here are spot on and you model excellent examples. As a bigger size woman, I find scarves add bulk around my neck so it's an accessory that just doesn't work for me. Your opening and closing outfit -- the all black with white bow collar and cuffs -- I might wear a leopard 2" heel or red patent slingback just for a pop of color or edgy detail. That's more my lane. Considered a pair of ripped jeans but just couldn't do it. Felt silly. Love your enthusiasm!

    I appreciate your channel. Coming out of a sickness and looking to get more polished as I am getting out of the house more. This video didn't seem to hit the mark for me, though. My concern is that the before and after outfits seemed to fit completely different contexts. Before you looked like a news paper reporter meeting someone in their home and the after looked like the owner of several newspapers headed to a board meeting. I expected to learn how the reporter might add polish and elegance to her outfit to raise it in elegance a notch not jumping the whole glass ceiling to the boardroom. I did get some good tips and am still learning a lot. Thank you for always giving me goof things to take away.

      ReallyRho,
      I love colour and prints... AND and my closet is full of them too ^_^, but you CAN look elegant still. I get so many compliments on my dress sense. The trick I have learned is not to pile on all the fancy colours together from top to bottom. Style something flowery or luminous like a top with a dark coloured bottom for example. Play around in the mirror styling and putting outfits together and take a picture of it.. I do this a lot. I enjoy styling my flowery outfits.

    I don't dislike some light distressing on jeans but there's never been a place in my life for ripped jeans . Your photo demonstrated that the rips become the total focal point when they're being worn . Simplicity usually does translate to more elegance or professionalism . My thoughts on the Balmain or similar style blazer - I was impressed with them a couple of years ago when everybody first started showing them . Now I think they are looking a little past the expiry date . I hope designers soon come up with something new . Side by side presentations are effective Erin !

Looks fine under blazer👌I spent years being the best dressed, classy girl. It's amazing how people treat you when you are dressed well. Men or women. The red carpet rolls out for you everywhere you go. You are giving great and helping with before and afters👍Most of these youtubers giving advice actually NEED a personal shopper themselves!

    Great video. I had the good fortune to live in Italy as a student and learnt a lot from them about style. I'm currently broke but I still dress as well as I can by sticking to good quality items bought on sale, second hand or in tk max, in classic colours that suit my skin tone. I also try to dress properly for the weather ie properly warm waterproof boots in snow etc. People here where I am in the UK don't dress well, I'm not sure why, seems to be a cultural thing (people in London dress a lot better). Sometimes I feel weird trying to dress well but it makes me feel much better about myself and more hopeful and positive. It also creates a better impression and can lead to more opportunities ie when networking. P. S Since finding your videos I'm really loving blazers, I've realised they're such a great item to look more refined rather than always wearing cardigans.

    Great video Erin! I wanted to let you know that although I am not very much a blazer wearer (although I have a bunch of them as I wear them occasionally) I was at Nordstrom last weekend and I passed the Veronica Beard blazers and thought I would try one on. O.M.G! The fit is impeccable. The scuba black one was my favorite but I loved the double button ones too. It’s. Is in my list of things to get. The option to insert the Dickey makes it more casual so I think I’ll love it! I could only try the size 2 on and I think that was the right one. The 4 in another style was a bit big, but I’m wondering if I’m in between. What size do you prefer? We are about the same size I think. I’m 5’2”, 35/26/34.5. Sometimes a bit thinner depending if I’m up or down a couple pounds. Thank you so much for all your style advice. 💕from your state!

    • @BusbeeStyle
      @BusbeeStyle  4 роки тому

      You won't be disappointed! It's such a versatile piece and inserting the dickys does give it a more casual look. If you are between sizes, I'd suggest sizing up...you can always take it to a tailor and get a little tweak to get the fit just right. Also consider how you may want to wear it...will you ever layer over a thin sweater? Thinking about this in advance may help you decide which size will be better. xo
