Just so you know, the link for the blouse is the same as the jeans.
O.k 👍
Thx.🤗 Marie 💘
Thanks a lot, I became a fan of yours. Do you have videos in French either? I’d recommend them to my mother, she speaks French, but unfortunately doesn’t understand English at all. Or could you please add French captions?
I love your videos! Would you please recommend travel shoes for long days of walking around cities? I don’t want to look frumpy and wear sneakers! I have all sorts of cute comfortable shoes, but these would still be very hard to walk for long durations while traveling as opposed to getting around town and work. Help!
That frumpy outfit is like a uniform for so many women over 60. Go to any shopping mall and they all look like that! It screams "I've given up and I just want to be comfortable" lol
I totally agree Sue
that´s me
I have given up . 😂.
It’s every snowbird in Florida right now😂
I’m over 60 and don’t have or wear frumpy clothes.
Everyone deserves to look fabulous at any age! Listen to Marie-Anne 💃
🤗
You have got me taking a hard look in my closet. Frump has snuck in there. I am weeding it out, and donating it to the senior center - although, it almost seems unethical to frump others! I can't bring myself to burn them, so that is where they are going. I hope my less chic sisters will appreciate them.
A good declutter does wonders for your style Gram Gram 😃
Omg!! “Refrumping”??!!
😂😂 I think I peed laughing!!
Update: I just ordered two column midi denim shirts from Talbot's... Very trim! Most of their colors and patterns are horrible this year, and these skirts were buried under all those things.
My experience with talbots denim skirts is that they are exceedingly well made and tailored. I have one I bought 2 years ago. I absolutely love. And they are having a BOGO sale 50% right now. Worth checking out. They also had some nice linen suits.
You're the best style advice I've seen since "What Not to Wear".
Merci beaucoup Betsy 🤗
Marie is better, in my opinion 💕
No, it's incomparable!
In Australia I could not wear jeans in the summer, days are 35-40 degrees celsius. I would love to see you do chic styles for the really hot days. I loved the new outfit, beautiful update!
I love linen skirts, shorts and trousers, but ironing them is hot work!🙂
Same here in Virginia, US. Hot and humid = no jeans.
Hi from Queensland. I might try wide leg pants next summer. Only about 6 inches more fabric than crops 🤔
I have done several videos about staying cool in the heat Belle 😃 I wore linen trousers when I lived in Mexico in 45C heat and was cool and comfortable - as the summer comes on I will be doing more videos for summer styles 😘
Same here in southern Nevada -- I do not wear jeans in the summer. I wear cotton or linen dresses and long bermuda type pants (and thin-strapped Birkies).
You are so right Marie-Anne. What a change. I too see many women dressed like this and think they look like a rectangle.
Agreed, and it's so sad.
Sponge Bob Square Pants
I call myself spongebob square pants 😢
😘
I've got more of rectangular body as it is these days, I don't want to emphasise it.
I've always lived by the thought that the last thing you should put on before you walk out the door for the day is a smile!
😃
Excellent advice 😁
And, a smile costs nothing!
Because of you , I have dumped my crops, paisley, thick strapped Birkenstocks ( I kept the thin strapped ones), big florals and everything else I thought was frumpy.
🙌 Wonderful Renee 😃
I hear Marie Anne saying non when I'm shopping now. Even my hubby says 'what would Marie Anne say 😊
I agree with everything but the Birkenstocks....they stay!
Love capris iffff fitted and just above ankle even don't like baggy capris umper lumper upaty laaaaaaaa😁😁😁😁😁
Wait wait I thought Arizona birks were back
I have consistently refused to buy or wear cropped pants ever since they came out. I don't understand why they are such a fashion "thing". They simply don't look good on most women.
Hear Hear Robin 👏 They are an absolute influencer favourite... but why 🤷♀️
I'm just over 60 and I have never bought cropped trousers or those types of sandals . I can't understand why women want to wear these. I don't think they look good on anyone .
At 5'10" cropped, capris, or ankle pants just make me feel, and look, like I couldn't find proper fitting pants which had been an issue my whole life. The clothing shown here, with a few exceptions, is nothing I would wear. LLBean or Eddie Bauer for pants because they have long lengths, JCP for inexpensive T's, Keen for spring, summer, early fall. I spent way too much if my life shopping for clothes and shoes that fit...pants, shirts, and shoes all too short.
I think it’s for comfort in warm weather
At 5’1”, I avoid cropped pants. I’m short with a 28” inseam. Cropped pants do me no favors, ha-ha. My French ancestors would be spinning in their graves if I wore cropped pants. 🤣
OK Marie-Anne, but when I know you are not looking, I am still going to wear my Birkenstocks once in a while, but only when I am really sure you can't see them.....lol I used to Iive in San Francisco, with the Flower Children and still have my Hippy bag that came with peacock feathers as the decoration. It brings back happy memories of my youth.....50 plus years ago. And, now, I hear you saying, "That's my point!"...Lol, love your videos!
Did you keep your hash pipe?
@@selectiveoutrage6617 No, never had one!
You gave me my biggest laugh so far SJordan 😃 👍
I lived in Bellingham for 10 years after college so OF COURSE I still wear my birki’s!!! In all styles and all ways!!❤
@@joanD I have open sandal Birkenstocks as well as closed toe, but shhhhhhhhhhh I don't want Marie-Anne to think that I am not one of her best students, because I really am making an effot to look chic, and she is such an elegant lady, so I promise only to look mumsie on rare occaisions. Already walked my dog before seven this morning, am eating healthy, have a new haircut, and riding my bike. She's such a good influence! But, then Marie-Anne knows I am addicted to her channel and love her to bits! x
I love the way you break down the details of what makes each outfit frumpy - the details for blouse and the pants. Very helpful.
Unlike other influences, she doesn't just say "Wear this", she explains why.
Merci Susan - glad you enjoy it 😃
Merci selective outrage 🤗
The shirt that looks like your aunt’s curtains from the 70’s is hilarious!!
😃
Right,!!!just noticed, good by flowered curtains ,I mean blouses!
Marie-Anne, I purchased “How to be Chic & Elegant” two weeks ago. After having lived a lifetime (70!) I really thought I had my style all figured out until I read your tips, tricks, and tweaks. Now I’m finally perfect! Lol!
That is wonderful Ciral 🤗 merci for becoming a reader as well as a watcher 😘
Life begins at 70!
You're absolutely right and I agree with you in everything. I enjoyed so much the whole process going from frumpy to fabulous and the result is such a gorgeous, comfortable and chic outfit. You look stunning and youthful, Marie-Anne. Loved to see Coco again. Merci 🙏🏻🤍
Merci AW 🐾
I HATE!!! bulky capri pants, baggy mom jeans, Birkenstocks, Crocs, all things synthetics, and coordinated tops and bottoms. Who says we have to dress old just cause we are older?
👍💯
Its not like anyone is making you wear them🙄
mom jeans are in with the younger kids. I wear what I want and what is comfortable. I don't care what others think. Most of the time I look better than the folks in mu-mus.
Although I wouldn't personally buy that purple-pink-orange blouse but I think matching it with a straight cut high waisted pair of jeans with the blouse tucked in would look great. Add a brown crossbody handbag with a gold buckle, pointy white or gold shoes, some pretty gold earrings and a chunky gold necklace. I think it will make good.
The purple outfit was so funny, even Coco was wondering what was going on. You have a great sense of humour. The second outfit was really fabulous, thank you for sharing 🙂🩷
He was mystified Elizabeth 😃
Coco was the best atribute to wear ❤
I am at an age when I need a little support when walking, so I now have matching walking sticks to go with my outfits. 😀
Perfectly Chic Lynn 😘
Really enjoyed this light-hearted but very helpful video. More like this please Marie Anne, dump the frumpy, love it.
Ha! Love it!
Dump the Frump!!
I can do that Wanda 😘
Love this. And -- I have a very large belly/tummy. TRULY, I look worse with any blouse tucked in at all, even a "french tuck" draws all the attention to my tummy. Would love tips on how to not look frumpy when you have a large belly and weigh 30 pounds more than you wish you did, Marie-Anne. Thanks!
I have a number of videos for that - if one technique does not help there are plenty of others ua-cam.com/video/FakOT1fYxCI/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/m2D2hSrPCsU/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/QSu7xb6iwFw/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/EqTAjEV3Pb4/v-deo.html
@womanofacertainage5892 Amen 🙏 I feel your pain!
@@blackthornsloe8049 Darling, I eat very well. No sugar, no processed foods. I also don't drink any alcohol. I also exercise. Every body is different. Every woman will have different hormone issues happening in their body. Please consider that when commenting about how someone else would love the results from losing weight. Yes, I imagine I would. That wasn't my comment and I didn't really need you making this comment. Thanks.
@@womanofacertainage5892 I did not intend to offend you . I have removed the comment.
I quit wearing the Capri length pants about 3 years ago because I felt frumpy, and I KNOW I looked frumpy!
🙌
I laughed out loud at the Hobbit feet comment. 🙂 This was a nice video and makes me think that one on 'how to do florals over 50' might also be very useful, Marianne. So many of us love florals and a bit of colour but it's easy to end up looking like a sofa.
Smaller prints are the key I think
Yes exactly!! I did start to weed out some florals. 😮
NO florals, cropped pants or birkie’s. Frump!
I like that floral and think it goes well with Marie's coloring. But I agree about the fit of the blouse. I really don't care if one element of my outfit is passe so long as the fit and color are good. I also wear vintage jackets from the 40s, 50s and 60s. With modern items. Its my style. I've learned a lot from Marie but my style is quirkier
I can do that Carole - I touched on it here but can expand 😘 it is about looking modern rather looking younger as I say in my videos 😃
You are Hillarious but so on the money. !!!! ❤😂
🤗
I love when you do these types of videos. I learn so much! Merci, Marie-Anne.
Glad you enjoy them Sheride 😃
As always, wonderfully illustrated!
😘
You darn near look great in everything!
Oh my...I think you got that blouse with purple pants (pantaloons!) outfit out of my closet. I have to sign up for your course.
Bonjour Sharri 😃 lovely to see you here - would love to have you 😘 Keep up the great work with your Extraordinary Women channel - we need more extraordinary women 😘
Le sourire est le plus bel accessoire que l'on peut porter, en effet !
Bravo Marie-Anne pur cette leçon d'élégance !
🤗
I totally agree. Hello from Argentina 🇦🇷
Loved this!!
Summer coming! Could you please help with a video on length of pants and shorts and bermudas for older ladies? I don’t go above the knee anymore, but trying for the not frumpy capris!
You are SUCH a big help and your clothes are so “everyday!” ❤
I will see what I can do 😘
A longer skort works
You made me laugh out loud-“The shoes-quelle horreur!”
😃
Brilliant! Thank you so much!❤
excellent Content Thank you!
thank you. hearing your analysis and working through your thinking process is so so so helpful!❤
Glad it was helpful 😃
Coco is a great accessory!
🐾
I have no choice, I have to wear Birkenstocks but I usually buy the Mayari style. They do come in pretty colours. Regular shoes and sandals are too painful due to orthopaedic issues. I have to make the best of it. 🤷🏻♀️
Your clothes advice is trés bon.
Fab long white trousers
I need an adorable frump inspector like yours, Marie-Anne!
🐾
Loved the breakdown from top to shoes! Great visuals! Thank you!
🤗
hilarious outfit!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Great suggestions, thank you!!❤
😘
I enjoy this video greatly!
Super funny too!
😃
thankyou Marie Anne indeed you looked different and fabulous and your explanations were so spot on and easy to see your point
🤗
What you said about "curtains" made me laugh - I say to myself whenever catching myself trying on paisley, other strange patterns and/or colours and those square shirts: Oh dear, look at you, trying to hide and look like a pillow on the sofa? 😅
😃👍
The pillow bit made me laugh! Good point!
Another great video❤ Thank you Marie-Anne❤
Glad you enjoyed it Linda x
I love how you tried accessorizing with the doggy.
🐾
Congrats on your 200K subscribers Marie-Anne! Well deserved! I love your frump inspector! 🥰
Merci French Style 🤗
😂😂😂 I love your fashion advice and sense of humor! You have THE best channel! Thank you!
That is very kind of you Paula - merci 🤗
I laughed out loud through the whole thing. I hear “if it’s not a wow….” In my head every time I look at something. l made a few mistakes with fabric (not holding shape) but my pared down wardrobe is now finished. I need a few belts, a few scarves and an orange pair of flats and it will be rounded out. I found my eye for fashion and quality again after many years of ignoring it. So much fun! Thanks M.A.
That is wonderful 😃 👏
Love the second blouse! Great video.
😘
Helpful as always. Thank you, Marie-Anne 😊
🤗
Great advice. I am so thrilled because I have a blouse like the better one. You are so perfect with your advice. Love it.x
😘
Great video Marie Ann you inspire me xx
🤗
Great video! I love how you always suggest stylish footwear that is also comfortable 😍
🤗
I absolutely loved this video Marie-Anne. Excellent, practical advice and so many laughs!!!!! My pet hate has always been ugly shoes. There are so many gorgeous, comfortable shoe styles available. Thank you from Australia.
I agree Cat 😃👍 life is too short to wear ugly shoes 👍
You are cracking me up! Thank you for the video!
😘
Really appreciate this! Thank you so much.
You're very welcome Kat
Great advice, thank you Marie Anne. ❤
😘
Love the humor. Thank you for another great style video.
😘
The smile was the best accessory ❤
😃
Excellent advice and so amusing, which will help me to remember it! Thank you!
I think the fun gets the point over much better Angel 😃
What a difference. Thanks a lot for this video❤
Glad you liked it 😘
So much better, Marie-Anne. I'm only sticking to stripes or subtle plaids for wearing patterns.
👍
I agree right up to the Birkenstocks. I have worn my Birkenstocks for 49+ years now. Never giving them up.
Wore Birkenstocks before Birkenstocks were cool.
I didn’t know about them until recently. They look comfortable, but they’re so ugly!
@nomado3650 Pretty is as Pretty does! 😍
But I am a 75 year old hippie from Southern California sooooo 🤷♀️
I love the after! I try to not buy too many things with patterns. I usually stick with pin stripes or small polkadots. I also always wear my pants long to the ankle or thigh high. Most of my clothes are textured rather than patterned. The purple outfit would be great turned into a scrap quilt!
If you want to quilt these I still have them Nia Marie 😉
Amazing! Thank you.
You are very welcome 😘
Thank you for this video, I have learnt so much
You are very welcome Margaret x
Great video, positive, funny, and Coco !!!
🐾
Merci beaucoup ❤
Thanks much this was fun and I learned some things about appropriate ways to defrump.
😃👍
Lots of good ideas here , thank you, I’m going to try and incorporate these changes
You're very welcome! Please share if you would like to see more like this x
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Wonderful explanation of how to dress elegantly, even when casual.
Merci Lana xx
First time looking at your site and I loved it. Thank you for your chic ideas.
You are very welcome Kirst 🤗
Wonderful video, Marie-Anne. Love your humour and bursted laughing out loud at the mummy's creepy sound 😆. Merci for these amazing tips to transform an outfit from frumpy to fabulous 🙏🏻💕
Merci AW 🤗
I agree with crop pants. I have some that are 7/8ths and don’t mind them. Saw my reflection the other day with my old crops and trainers on and thought I did look frumpy. They are very popular in Australia.
Stand out in your style Blondie 😘
they're always in the frumpy shops like Millers and Katies lol
@@SueRosalieyes and elastic waistbands make them even worse for frump.
Hello. This was very effective! What a difference. I loved this video and your sense of humor!! Thank you!
😘
I love your advice and your humor. Thank you!
Merci for watching 😘
Love your videos and your humor 😀 and Coco, the frump inspector 🥰😂🫶🏼🐶
🐾
Wow Marie-Anne, looks so much better. I'm an ex Finn migrated to Australia over 30 years ago. In Finnish there is a word lumppu, which means rags or unstylish clothing. Went shopping with my son and he said:' Look at all these frumppu clothes, where are all the stylish ones? I had to laugh because even he has been listening to me long enough to know what frumpy is and making it a new word. Great video, nice and short to remind us French chic ladies never to be frumpy.❤❤
I love “lumppu”, it’s a great word, so long as it doesn’t apply to us🙂
Bonjour Tuija - what a wonderful word 😃
Hei Suomesta Tuija! Lumppu & frumppu are great words 😀 🌞
@@herecomesthesun21 Kiitos, merci, thank you for your comment. Finnish vocabulary is full of great descriptive words.
Wow the black sandals made the outfit for me.
Fantastic, thank you Ann.
😘
The only thing I would add would be a belt, white or light coloured, to finish the outfit.
I like your thinking Wendy 😃 love your art 😘
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you!
That type of shoe I would only wear at home and when I go to the laundry room. 😄
Or in the garage or to empty the trash
She picked out that horrible colour on purpose 😂
Brilliant! and you are such fun to watch.
🤗
This was an excellent video and entertaining! I love the French language you are adding to your videos!!
Glad you enjoy it Laura 😘
On point! Recently, i lost a lot of weight & so now tuck in tops. But for many years & for lots of us, that just doesn't feel like an option. Any alternatives? 😊
I have a number of videos for my lovely larger ladies Liv 😃
Marie; you're! Exactly! Correct.
My sister dresses like that
I've been trying 2 help her; and she's older then me
You've! Helped! Me! Alot!
Th💘Nk! Y💘u!
🤗🤗🤗
👍👍👍
💘💘💘
Send her the link June 😉
Two of my sisters dress like the purple outfit and look SO frumpy....but they will not be swayed when I gently show them the difference from frumpy to fabulous by sending them Marie-Anne's videos. We're all short (5 feet tall) but they still keep choosing frumpy outfits like crop pants and baggy tops! Some people apparently don't care if they're frumpy...they've never learned you can be comfortable AND chic and that comfortable does not have to mean frumpy. 🤷♀
Beautiful! I love your sense of humor.
Merci Bonnie x
Great video Marie-Anne, very helpful and inspiring. I've already got my smart outfit for tomorrow worked out, based on this video😄
Yayyyy 🙌
I love the French sub-titles!!!
😃😘
Haaaaaa on my gosh love this. Especially the sucking the life into a mummy part haaaaa awesome.
😃
Thank You !!
You are very welcome x
Such inspiring advice!
😘
that first purple outfit is truly horrendous Marie Anne!
💜
Just bought new Birkenstocks. I think they are adorable. I wear 36 narrow. Bring on the frump. It’s approachable . No one is intimidated by me.
I don't intimidate anyone either Flower Power 🙂
Your advice is doing wonders for my wardrobe. I watch many channels, but it's yours that has created positive change in my style and appearance. Many thanks.
I'm so glad it has helped 😃
Thank you ❤
I'm loving those statement necklaces you're wearing lately. Thanks for mentioning wide leg trousers. Was wondering what your opinion of them was. Back in my day they were called elephant pants. In ready to wear they can be a bit tricky to find where they aren't too wide, though. Always so happy to see a new video from you!
🤗
