I absolutely agree with wearing your best jewelry every day. How sad I feel for the lovely jewelry that sits in a jewelry box and never gets to come out and be seen.
Have you stopped “smoking” and “faking a French accent”, or “dressing like a man” yet? I’m still giggling about your hilarious videos about those bizarre comments, and I love your sense of humor. I also love these budget style tips, like all your other suggestions. Just keep on being the Marie-Anne we love!
Untill recently I was very insecure about my style, I felt I was never well dressed. Now I am receiving compliments on how "elegant" I look! I absolutely love your channel, Marie Anne🌹
I love your attitude. An elegant mindset might be even more important than the clothes. I am a 74 yr old female paraplegic. I still feel young and vibrant and have an active lifestyle. I try to reflect this in my choice of a sleek custom wheelchair with subtle embellishment. I feel good in some outfits, but finding clothes the fit my seated position, poochy belly (no muscles) and a torso that has shortened over the last 37 yrs.is a real challenge. Pants are particularly I usually wear un -chic black stretch leggings that disappear my lower body and focus on finding semi fitted tops in flattering colors. Dresses must be loose enough not to bunch at lap yet not baggy. Would you do a wheelchair video with a real life model some time? btw, lived in France for a year when much younger (and taller!) Loved it!
I had to dress for a funeral last Saturday, so it was my first big test. I have a few new things I bought, based on your tips. I have the clothes I did not thrown out (also based on your tips). It was like dressing from somebody else's closet--but somebody with more style than me. It did not turn out perfectly, but it turned out well. Baby steps...
I just came home from shopping for new clothes. I've lost 20 pounds in ten months and needed to get some new tops AND slacks. My slacks were getting baggy from losing the weight. I did take some of my old clothes to the local thrift store. I am 76 years old and finding out what you say in your videos is so true. My mother was a young woman in the 1940s and she always taught me to look presentable. She would buy me separates to wear to school and showed me how to mix and match tops, sweaters, skirts, jackets and slacks so I would have a large variety of outfits. She would buy me Bobbie Brooks clothing, which was a popular brand in the 1960s. She always bought me quality clothes, on sale. She also bought basic black pieces and white pieces that looked very professional when started working in the business world. Those outfits got me through 4 years of high school and beyond in my career. Thank you, again, Marie-Anne, for your great insights.
My great aunt taught me that white around your face is very flattering when I was 15 in 1965. The advise served me well. Everyone can wear white of off white and look nice. I like monochrome with a pop of colour for an accessory. Mixing texture makes outfits interesting. Less is more classy when it comes to jewelry. The Christmas Tree affect looks cheap. Great advice for everyone at any age. I learned all of this from my beautiful mother and other ladies in my family.
My dear Marie-Anne, white, cream, navy blue and black are my favorites and those colors really upgrade any outfit. Last week I was wearing black jeans a black sweater and white sneakers. I considered this very casual, however everyone said I looked elegant. Go figure! As I always say, is not what you wear but how you wear it. Have a wonderful weekend!
I combined five sets of three pieces each, for a week's worth of instant wearables when I was prepping in anticipating a busy week ahead. Then, I looked at the rest and I was amazed that I could have easily doubled the number of outfits. I used to like to not wear the exact same outfit within less than two weeks. By remixing, I was able to achieve it. Wearing monochrome, the outfit is very stylish; yet, it is less memorable without prints and patterns. Find a printed scarf or kerchief, for example, to make it look distinctive. Fashion jewelry also works. However, I am less inclined to wear jewelry in the hot summer weather. One simple time saver is hang the belt and scarf with the outfit. Accessorizing is often the last thing I think of and it can hijack my time line when I have a tight schedule.
This is gold. Thank you! I am definitely adding varied textures as well as i have gotten rid of my costume jewelry. I want to be sophisticated, effortless, and comfortable in my appearance. You are helping me on my journey of transformation.
This is how I’ve been dressing since I was in my early 20’s! Got away from it a bit because I’m now in my 30’s in the midst of motherhood (with 6 children!) but I’m getting back there. I’ve been sorting out my closest to get back to my authentic self. This video was another great reminder.
I tried this with navy trousers and a navy blouse paired with a long silver lasso necklace. It was so classic and I looked instantly slimmer! Thank you, Marie Anne!
Marie-Anne, you dressed me today. I had several errands and an appointment today in the city. Instead of my usual capri jeans and a tee (101 here in Texas today), I wore a navy-blue tee, dark blue jeans and blue point toe flats. Black belt and a crisp white tailored shirt over the top (unbuttoned). It looked great and I felt great wearing it. I'm 5'4" and I looked visually taller. Thank you so much for reminding me to dress nice when I walk out my door into the public.
Marie-Anne, thank you for another amazing video. I'm twenty years away from 50s but I really enjoy your content. I translate all your videos for my mother. She can now enjoy fashion again after all these years working so hard to provide for me and my brother and neglecting herself. She is now way more stylish than I am! 🥰🥰
Extremely good advice. My only comment is that cream often looks good with a strong colour. Also - a decent body shape is extremely helpful ie. not overweight. Since becoming slim - I can wear much more and look good.
Michael, Yes on losing weight. I had been carrying around too much weight and have recently lost about 10 pounds and my tummy is just about gone. I can wear blouses tucked into my pants and skirts again without being embarrassed about a big tummy sticking out. Thank God for my pounding out 5 miles each and every night!
I love to wear white in the heat. I hang my whites on a line in the sun after washing to keep them white. It's old fashioned but it works better than bleach. I'm intrigued by your monochrome outfit examples. I'd love to see a whole Marie-Anne video on that!
UK: I will take your advice and not keep some clothes as 'best' but enjoy wearing them now. I'll also try wearing more white, esp during the summer. Great tips, thank you.
These are very useful tips! I am sick of black and started buying white but have yet to wear most of it. Saw a woman in a laundromat wearing simple white sweats, tee and tennis shoes and it looked great. Also have a string of real pearls from 35 years ago that I've only worn twice. Need to get more organized.
I have barely worn any white in decades because I'm pale skinned and thought I needed to add color for some pizzaz. Then I started watching your channel about a month ago. Since then I have passed on to the charity store almost all of my unnatural fabrics (polyester), much of my printed tops and have gone a bit crazy buying white, cotton, lacy feminine tops. I feel I have really elevated my style. I had no idea how much I loved white. I also got rid of a lot of costume jewelry. I have several pairs of gold hoops that get worn a lot, but in the summer I like to occasionally wear red, white or blue earrings. It makes me feel nautical and summery. I enjoy your channel so much and am only sad there is no one else on TH-cam with your grace.
Hi Aloha Annie, I am fair-skinned, too, and I found that wearing white/ivory showcases the peach tone of my complexion, as well as the peach color of my lip gloss. So many women look younger in white, because the light reflects the skin, brightens it. Glad that you discovered that you can look amazing in white!
i I have always saved my best jewelry (and other items) for Sunday church or formal affairs. This year I have been wearing my good jewelry more often and love it. I inherited several lovely pieces of jewelry from my mother which make me feel wonderful to wear and give me a feeling of love and strength. I had a few pieces remade into a style I love. At my age (68) I am not going to wear out my better clothes, so I am going to enjoy them instead of leaving them in my closet for Sunday. I love your channel and your content.
Some of my best jewellery has been inherited- I wear it often- as I believe it’s only ‘loaned’ to me for my lifetime. It will be passed on, so I appreciate it, and enjoy it, and am proud to own it during my lifetime…
Thank you so much for this video. I retired in 2016 and have not bought any clothes...or outfits since. After viewing your videos I have shopped for some basics-that I learned from you! I went to a meeting and a much younger woman "loved" my jacket (it has actually been in my closet and I hadn't been wearing it!!). Today I got another compliment on "looking great". I am sure it was the outfit. Very simple "Marie-Anne chic"and causual with nice colors and better fitting clothing.
I work from home and have, um, not been stylish for a few years. I'm visiting my partner in a month and have bought a few new pieces based on your videos. I hope to wow him with a fresh, new, not-frumpy, dumpy look. Your guidance through your videos has been priceless. Thank you
Jewellery - wear quality not quantity. I completely agree Marie-Anne. May I add a couple of other suggestions too : don't be afraid to change the settings of precious stones as it's a relatively cheap way to upgrade your quality jewellery and also to invest in a quality jewellery cleaner as clean sparkling jewellery is an instant way to uplift a look. Thank you Marie-Anne, you are as insightful as always.
I wear far less jewellery now that I am older. I gave away a lot of my "junk" jewellery in my 40s because a simpler look works better for me now. Excellent advice from Marie-Anne.
Thank you! I just love your style, energy, confidence, and passion. I am 54, with an appleshape body type, and had given up "dressing up". I just wear loungewear, and washout loose t-shirts. 🙈 But, you have given me hope. Will try "shopping" in my closet. I hope I find something nice to wear, deep down there. 😄
Ann Marie, you are so correct! Wear those special jewelry pieces, enjoy them. Saving them for a special occasion well, every day is special. I will only bring out my diamond tiara for delicious events😂. Love your videos and presentation ❤️🇫🇷❤️.
I just discovered your videos and I love them. I was hooked with the first one I watched. Hooked because RESPECT - respect for oneself and for the people around you - is a foundation of your work. I was so happy to hear you talk about this; it affirmed for me that I'm not just a lone crabby old 82 year old lady, but I that I know what I'm talking about and believe (while lookin' pretty good by sticking with the things you preach). Thank you and keep up the good work.
I absolutely love your channel! I enjoy it so much! Your style is so classicly elegant, so chic, so smart, and yet so clean and simple, and so affirming for me as a woman over the age of 40. Thank you so much for all of your tips. I live in the United States, and I am US American by birth, and it seems that women even my age or older go for a look that is more, shall we say, obtrusively sexy? So in my younger years when I was less settled in my way I felt a little pressure sometimes to fit in. The "sexy" look certainly has its appeal, but it's just not me: I don't like to draw attention to myself as doing so makes me feel silly. But I really identify so much with the classic European style of dress and self-presentation. So thank you for this channel!
I really like your suggestion of wearing our best jewellery everyday. I have been doing that for years because everyday is special. But I definitely surprise a lot of my friends that I do that. Now I know it’s ok to do that 😀👏🏼👏🏼 Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌸
Love this Marianne! I added some white pieces over the years - first, I thought white is not flattering, but it really updates every summer look! And a few years ago I threw away all my cheap jewelry and started to wear just the gorgeous pieces I herited from my grand/mother. (But I'm in my 40s now, so they became my style). And I added piece by piece new real gold jewelry - really a game changer my dear! 💕
Thank you for this video Marie-Anne! Advising people to “shop their closet” is good advice to remember. I often feel like I need to keep getting more clothes to look chic, when I probably already have a lot of great pieces. Sometimes it’s better to work with what we already have instead of seeking the latest “new” piece we think we need. I’d love to see a video from you about how to make a fall travel capsule wardrobe! I’m travelling to London next month and I’m trying to figure out how to pack for “between” seasons. I’d also love a video about your thoughts on popular French brands, such as Sezane - I see that brand pop up in a lot of videos from other stylists and wonder if their clothes are worth the investment or not. One other thing I’ve noticed is shopping sustainably (choosing clothes made from sustainable fabrics and buying second hand) is becoming more important. Do people in France go thrifting? Have you found any great pieces at second hand/vintage stores in France? It would be interesting to see what great pieces can be found in these stores in France!
I found a Saks 5th Avenue black, full length coat with Edwardian lapels and pocket trims in velvet, in an expensive little town thrift shop. I would have loved it forever. Unfortunately my auntie in a care home also loved it. Gone. I’ll never forget that coat. So some thrift shops are good and some are not. I look for the shop!
@@Donna-cc1kt Hi Donna, Wow, that coat sounds like it was really beautiful! The thrift shops in the wealthier areas tend to have a better selection of classic attire. There is a particularly amazing consignment store in Monterey, California that I adore: it has very high-end clothing and shoes.
I loved the advice on varying the monochromes and textures but I don't enjoy the white shirt and black trousers/skirt combo because of all the years I spent waitressing.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed today's video. I'm a big believer in shopping your closet, and trying to see your clothes in a new way. You help make getting dressed a real pleasure! Thank you!
Dear Marie-Anne, I have so enjoyed watching your videos over the past several years! I so appreciate your wisdom and creativity and and writing to thank you! You are wonderful 💞 Jayne
Love this video! Great advise. I especially love when you said, if you don’t wear your best jewelry everyday, you might as well not have any! Exactement! I had a good laugh hearing these words. Merci beaucoup Maria-Anne!
When shopping I use an estimated cost per wearing formula: Price divided by the number of times worn/likely to wear = cost per wearing. I also shop my closet regularly. For many years I had a black/off-white/navy blue capsule wardrobe for work and I still have a black/white one for dressy occasions. However; as a newly retired person, I'm adding color and pattern to my casual daily life: chili pepper red arabesque print, cobalt blue/white paisley, and pink gingham check cotton collard shirts. Thank you Marie-Anne and have a lovely weekend.
And there's that gorgeous white shirt AGAIN! I think you could style that 1,000 ways and I would love it every time. Your advice has helped me so much, Marie-Anne. Thank you!
Thank you, Marie-Anne for another informative video! In regard to wearing white, I wonder whether you would consider publishing an entire video on white shirts of various price points as you did with the marinaiére? I would also be interested in resources for white dresses. Thanks again!
Love this! I am a fan of wearing monochromatic outfits with a variation in texture. Keeps the look simple, chic and interesting. I really have to get a good belt. I was always afraid of wearing belts visibly because my tummy is bigger than I like. I'm learning that belts in the right places slim and accent the waist, accenting my curves and minimizing my tummy. Thanks for these tips! I'm off to find a good belt! :)
Hi Lovely, I am the same; I am down to only a few belts after a few years of having my tummy bigger than I wanted. However, now that I have lost weight, I need to showcase my slimmer physique with some great belts. They really elevate an outfit. I do have a gold-tone chain belt (two tiers) from Saks Fifth Avenue (30 years ago), that instantly elevates even jeans. It has never tarnished!
Great video Marie-Anne! Love these looks. I like that you reminded us to wear our nice jewelry every day, I totally agree otherwise it gets forgotten and never worn. I love the monochrome look! Merci! ❤️
Great tips. I simplified my jewelry box and wear simple but my best pieces - real gold hoops, delicate gold necklaces - and was surprised by the compliments I received. I also go monochrome or limit to two colours and less pattern and just feel more elegant and comfortable with what I wear. I still enjoy pattern but have much less. Helps save money too as more things go together. Love the tips!
Dear Marie-Anne, What amazing tips! Thank for this sage advice. I love your idea of looping a silk scarf on your pants instead of a belt--how French, how chic. You look so lovely in all your pictures; I would much rather see you modeling outfits than a so-called professional model. And your property is so beautiful, too. Thank you!!
Dear Marie-Anne, I thought white tops or shirts no way. I have white hair BUT I tried with short pixie hair cut, red lipstick and a colour for a belt or scarf and voila tres chic. Many thanks for great advice xx
This video resonates with me and confirms that I have not wasted my investments in accessories and clothing. I do like the suggestions. I have found in my life that there are some things to keep and add on over the years. I keep all my scarves. The patterns are basic and most in silk. I can wear a scarf from 20 years ago and it is in style. Also with jewelry. I buy sterling silver and gold for a lifetime and classic styles. I did also buy many pieces from Barse, some silver, but many in bronze. The integrity of the company with natural stones and interesting mountings are great for jeans and travel. I keep all my high-quality leather bags-they are endless styles. I laughed at the washing machine, yes I did buy some white embroidered shirts. Every time I wear them, I will think of your washing machine comment! You made me smile and feel great about my lifetime collecting-it is all good.
Wow endless possibilities. Fabulous ideas. Soon we'll be in sticky humidity here in Qld Australia so I am embracing all your tips and tricks. Bought a gorgeous white textured blouse and black pants on sale. You give us so much confidence. Thank you beautiful lady. ❣❣
Marie-Anne i'ts true about white. Today I needed to protect my shoulders from the sun, I put a white tailored blouse over my sleeveless, it protected my shoulders but it totally elevated my whole outfit. It added such brightness. I loved it! And you're right about jewelry Im going to start wearing mine. :)
I read somewhere that woman over 40 should never wear plastic/cheap jewellery. And I agree. I think this is what you are saying as well. Scarfs, belts yes! Generally you advice is great.
I'm a singer , i have to look cool but not offensive. I love working out textures, as you say. 👍💜🎆 i have favourite pieces of jewellry, bead necklaces. But i have to make sure they won't catch in the guitar strap etc. So i stick to a simple but beloved pendant on a silver chain. 💜🎸🎤🎼🌅 ( favourite song : What a difference a day makes, by Dinah Washington. 💗).
I am currently sewing a new wardrobe of clothes (pandemic sort of over, want to start going out walking, need clothes to walk in) so am trying to do most outfits so they can be worn as a monochrome outfit - matching trousers and top - or they will mix with another outfit - trousers from this set, top from that set - so I have carefully chosen a few colours that will all go together (green, yellow, pink, lavender/lilac) and I make sure that I have hints of another colour(s) on each top in the form of piping details so I know they can be worn and still pick up the different colour used.
Thank you for another short summary video! From every your video I get some new idea or inspiration 🙂 I love white and ivory and light beige colours. And not only in summer. Monochrome outfit is also my favourite 👌🏻 Slimming and elegant. Absolutely agree about wearing good quality jewelry every day.. Every day is a celebration of life. I like also to use good porcelain tea or coffee sets, silverware, linen or cotton serviettes etc Even if I am alone. My latest purchase is a pair of large freshwater pearl studs. White🥰 Waiting to be delivered from small family jewelry business. I like to support small businesses rather than "big sharks" 😅
I have always loved neutrals, but didn't have much white (except for an eyelet skirt I bought in Paris) until I started watching your videos. I now have added some white and cream pieces, and they really do upgrade a look. Your rock star hair in this video looks amazing, by the way!
I do not consider my self your target audience although I am over 50. I work from home in IT and spend most of my weekend in bike clothes or gardening togs. So imagine my surprise when I watched this video and then.....bought both a white blouse and white capri pants (necessary here in the hot and humid DC area). Wore them both during a bike trip weekend after the cycling ended and the dining began. Got lots of compliments so thank you!
Last summer I bought a pair of white jeans which I totally love and wear with my white T-shirts and blouses. Excellent investment, and since the fabric is thick I don’t even have the problem of transparency…
LOOOOVE this video! One of my top 3 videos! It is comprehensive, shopping is optional to achieve and applies to all ages FOR all ages! Thank you very much Marie-Anne!!
I agree with all of your suggestions. I haven't worn belts for the longest time up until 9 months ago. ( I am in my mid sixties). Now I use the belt as a go-to to upgrade my outfits. It does make such a difference. I have always loved wearing white. I still find it hard to wear my white jeans in the winter, though. I also add cardigans to elevate some of my looks. Thanks again for your inspiration.
I simply love your english/french accent. Since living in Europe for the last 40 some odd yrs, I was told I developed an accent too 😄. Thoroughly enjoy your refreshing videos and very nice tips too. I would'nt upset myself from any dumb comments, although it was fun listening to them 😁. Some people just like being difficult 🤪. Cheers from 🇨🇭💐.
White, monochrome varying texture..... familiar from earlier videos and I have been having a great time trying these ideas. My go to outfit a black sheath with pearls nude pantyhose black or nude shoes (bare legs in summer nude candles) cold weather - cardigans jackets etc. I LOVED THE BELT IDEA.....ANOTHER LOOK SAME PIECE... I always learn from your habit videos.....thank you G
Marie anne, all great tips! I love white clothes and wear them all year around. Dark clothes can visually shrink the outline of a shape, it also gives the impression of heavier mass. I noticed white clothes make people look lighter regardless of size, and more approachable. There were studies done to sports team uniform colors. The ones wearing dark ,especially the black ones get more penalty than the teams wearing lighter uniforms as black uniforms were perceived more aggressive.
Great tips. My tip to look always polished (but sometimes it seems people forget about it) are cleaned shoes & ironed clothes because this can completely ruin the whole outfit. 🤷🏻♀️ But what completely changed my perspective was capsule wardrobe system. So now, after few years and implementing few simple rules, I'm absolutely happy with my wardrobe without ruining my budget. Greetings from the Czech Republic 🌸
Hi Katerina, Yes, you are so correct about the necessity to iron our clothing! I am fanatical about ironing my clothing, even my workout tops and yoga pants. I also iron a nice, crisp crease in my dress pants (not jeans). It really makes a difference.
Wonderful ideas and you look gorgeous in the examples! I still have to train my eye for the "monochrome" in the case of colour, I find that the colours need to have the same base undertone - either cool or warm - otherwise they clash. For example mixing a cool green with a warmer green, it looks off. And also this needs to be done in good natural lighting or it's easy to mismatch. I have struggled with monochrome for this reason, because most of my clothes were bought disregarding the undertone... so they don't always go together even if they are technically the same colour.
In my wardrobe : Classic white shirt ☑️ Top to toe blues ☑️ Knits with corduroy (it's winter here!) ☑️ Minimal silver jewellery ☑️ No belts across this tummy, though 😜
Your suggestion of monochromatic dressing is so spot on! I frequently do that and always feel polished. I find that often your best dressing tips apply well to home decorating as well. I have decorated my first floor in varying shades and textures of cream and soft brown, with a red foyer and white trim throughout the house. It’s resulted in a soothing and classy presentation. I love your tips, Marie-Anne. ❤️
Marie-Anne I love this video and I love your channel. Thank you for the many tips and tricks you share with your community regarding style. One other option to elevate a look is to carefully choose a pair of shoes to add to the look. And, as I've learned from you, make sure the shoes are clean, and in good shape!
Hi Marie Anne, I am reviewing your older videos, and of course they are still very good for 2024. I am lucky enough to have inherited some classic jewelry pieces from my grandmother and my sweet auntie. I have a 1920s platinum engagement diamond ring, a large aquamarine ring, a gold braclet with several different colored stones, and a gold and silver mixed wide braclet! I wear these pieces on regular rotation. They remind me every day of my dear grandmother and aunt. Sometimes people will comment on my classic jewelry which always makes me feel happy! Thanks for all your videos! ❤
Thank you darling.... Following one of your advices about white clothing , today I went to Uniqlo and I bought a white linen long sleeve shirt and I was so happy that I decided to wear it when I left the shop with a black chino trousers that I was already wearing... 😂😂 I am delighted with the shirt... I was feeling so light and fresh... You have a video " how to style a white linen shirt" so I will watch it again....ladies, buy one, you will not regret..... 😊Thank you so much my most elegant youtuber in the world 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bonjour Marie-Anne! Excellent & inspiring advice again. I especially loved the ones about wearing white & bright monochromes. The other day I saw a young lady at the food shop and thought she was stunning. Her outfit was very simple, but gorgeusly elegant: bright white jeans that fit her perfectly, a sand color qood quality basic sweater, smallish golden hoop earrings, her hair in a relaxed bun and neat light brown leather sandals. It was perfection! 😊 I really saw some French chic here in Helsinki... so now I want to have a pair of bright white jeans. They really elevate an outfit. But, summer season is almost over here, so I think will only invest in them next spring. And instead wear one of my many white blouses. The other thing is bright colors. I fell in love with green this summer! Got me a pair of grass green jeans (which I've worn a lot) and just now a slightly darker green button-up cotton shirt that is excellently cut and has short puffed sleeves. I love puffed sleeves, I think they suit me well. I just decided to wear this green outfit tomorrow for a small event, with leather sandals & small golden earrings! 😊
This has come just at the right time for me Marie-Anne as my hubby is taking me to a nice Restaurant this evening, with that in mind I am off to sort my wardrobe out. thank you as always.
Your hair looks great! Thanks so much for your advice…I always wear my good jewelry, because my husband bought it for me it’s the first nice jewelry I’ve ever had…🇺🇸
Dearest, Marie-Anne, such a lovely channel you have and such a sophisticated personality. I am in my early 30s but I feel like the best part of my life will start at 50!! This is the style I like to have and I would also love to live in France for a while or why not for a long time 🍀🤍🧿
Great video I use all of those ideas already, especially the monochrome. I'm working on wearing white. I don't avoid white because it will get dirty, but because I really like black and dark colors. White on me feels like I'm wearing a neon sign. One thing you didn't mention that I believe is an instant upgrade is adding a hat.
Kelsie, Yes, a hat takes the outfit to a much higher level! In the summer, I wear my Audrey Hepburn "Breakfast at Tiffany" hats; I add a white or black satin ribbon around the hat, and it flows down my back, very chic. I get so many compliments on my summer hats.
That settled my outfit for Sunday: black leather jacket, black cashmere turtleneck and black flats. I’d forgotten about the leather jacket until you reminded me. 🤓

I absolutely agree with wearing your best jewelry every day. How sad I feel for the lovely jewelry that sits in a jewelry box and never gets to come out and be seen.
Have you stopped “smoking” and “faking a French accent”, or “dressing like a man” yet? I’m still giggling about your hilarious videos about those bizarre comments, and I love your sense of humor. I also love these budget style tips, like all your other suggestions. Just keep on being the Marie-Anne we love!
😆
👏😅
❤️🫣🤭🥰👋🏼😃
Best reaction to haters? A giggle.
Marie-Anne is spot on!
Untill recently I was very insecure about my style, I felt I was never well dressed. Now I am receiving compliments on how "elegant" I look! I absolutely love your channel, Marie Anne🌹
I love your attitude. An elegant mindset might be even more important than the clothes. I am a 74 yr old female paraplegic. I still feel young and vibrant and have an active lifestyle. I try to reflect this in my choice of a sleek custom wheelchair with subtle embellishment. I feel good in some outfits, but finding clothes the fit my seated position, poochy belly (no muscles) and a torso that has shortened over the last 37 yrs.is a real challenge. Pants are particularly I usually wear un -chic black stretch leggings that disappear my lower body and focus on finding semi fitted tops in flattering colors. Dresses must be loose enough not to bunch at lap yet not baggy. Would you do a wheelchair video with a real life model some time? btw, lived in France for a year when much younger (and taller!) Loved it!
I had to dress for a funeral last Saturday, so it was my first big test. I have a few new things I bought, based on your tips. I have the clothes I did not thrown out (also based on your tips). It was like dressing from somebody else's closet--but somebody with more style than me. It did not turn out perfectly, but it turned out well. Baby steps...
I just came home from shopping for new clothes. I've lost 20 pounds in ten months and needed to get some new tops AND slacks. My slacks were getting baggy from losing the weight. I did take some of my old clothes to the local thrift store. I am 76 years old and finding out what you say in your videos is so true. My mother was a young woman in the 1940s and she always taught me to look presentable. She would buy me separates to wear to school and showed me how to mix and match tops, sweaters, skirts, jackets and slacks so I would have a large variety of outfits. She would buy me Bobbie Brooks clothing, which was a popular brand in the 1960s. She always bought me quality clothes, on sale. She also bought basic black pieces and white pieces that looked very professional when started working in the business world. Those outfits got me through 4 years of high school and beyond in my career.
Thank you, again, Marie-Anne, for your great insights.
My great aunt taught me that white around your face is very flattering when I was 15 in 1965. The advise served me well. Everyone can wear white of off white and look nice. I like monochrome with a pop of colour for an accessory. Mixing texture makes outfits interesting. Less is more classy when it comes to jewelry. The Christmas Tree affect looks cheap. Great advice for everyone at any age. I learned all of this from my beautiful mother and other ladies in my family.
My dear Marie-Anne, white, cream, navy blue and black are my favorites and those colors really upgrade any outfit.
Last week I was wearing black jeans a black sweater and white sneakers. I considered this very casual, however everyone said I looked elegant. Go figure!
As I always say, is not what you wear but how you wear it.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I combined five sets of three pieces each, for a week's worth of instant wearables when I was prepping in anticipating a busy week ahead. Then, I looked at the rest and I was amazed that I could have easily doubled the number of outfits. I used to like to not wear the exact same outfit within less than two weeks. By remixing, I was able to achieve it.
Wearing monochrome, the outfit is very stylish; yet, it is less memorable without prints and patterns.
Find a printed scarf or kerchief, for example, to make it look distinctive. Fashion jewelry also works. However, I am less inclined to wear jewelry in the hot summer weather. One simple time saver is hang the belt and scarf with the outfit. Accessorizing is often the last thing I think of and it can hijack my time line when I have a tight schedule.
This is gold. Thank you! I am definitely adding varied textures as well as i have gotten rid of my costume jewelry. I want to be sophisticated, effortless, and comfortable in my appearance. You are helping me on my journey of transformation.
This is how I’ve been dressing since I was in my early 20’s! Got away from it a bit because I’m now in my 30’s in the midst of motherhood (with 6 children!) but I’m getting back there. I’ve been sorting out my closest to get back to my authentic self. This video was another great reminder.
I tried this with navy trousers and a navy blouse paired with a long silver lasso necklace. It was so classic and I looked instantly slimmer! Thank you, Marie Anne!
Marie-Anne, you dressed me today. I had several errands and an appointment today in the city. Instead of my usual capri jeans and a tee (101 here in Texas today), I wore a navy-blue tee, dark blue jeans and blue point toe flats. Black belt and a crisp white tailored shirt over the top (unbuttoned). It looked great and I felt great wearing it. I'm 5'4" and I looked visually taller. Thank you so much for reminding me to dress nice when I walk out my door into the public.
Cheryl, That sounds like an elegant and fresh looking outfit for the heat! The white shirt really elevated it.
I agree about the jewelry...at least for me. I only wear precious metals, always have. My French mother and grandmother taught me that.
I am a married Indian woman and wear only heritage jewellery in precious metals only as accessories. I learnt that from my grandmother and mother
Marie-Anne, thank you for another amazing video. I'm twenty years away from 50s but I really enjoy your content. I translate all your videos for my mother. She can now enjoy fashion again after all these years working so hard to provide for me and my brother and neglecting herself. She is now way more stylish than I am! 🥰🥰
Dear Nicola, What an amazing and thoughtful daughter you are to your mom! Your mom sounds like a selfless, amazing woman. You can be elegant together!
@@nataliamiles7109 Thank you for the kind words. 🥰🥰
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Bonjour Marie-Anne! We look forward to the next video. 😀
Marie-Anne you look gorgeous in all your examples 🥰these ideas are very helpful thank you.I am going to shop my cupboard for upgraded outfits .👏💕😘
Yes!! Wear your good jewlery, sparsley, upgrades my look. Simple, eyecatching and complements!!!
Extremely good advice. My only comment is that cream often looks good with a strong colour. Also - a decent body shape is extremely helpful ie. not overweight. Since becoming slim - I can wear much more and look good.
Michael, Yes on losing weight. I had been carrying around too much weight and have recently lost about 10 pounds and my tummy is just about gone. I can wear blouses tucked into my pants and skirts again without being embarrassed about a big tummy sticking out. Thank God for my pounding out 5 miles each and every night!
I love to wear white in the heat. I hang my whites on a line in the sun after washing to keep them white. It's old fashioned but it works better than bleach. I'm intrigued by your monochrome outfit examples. I'd love to see a whole Marie-Anne video on that!
UK: I will take your advice and not keep some clothes as 'best' but enjoy wearing them now.
I'll also try wearing more white, esp during the summer.
Great tips, thank you.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur . 😊😊
I am honestly surprised by how awesome this list was! But then, it's Marie Anne! Super helpful as I am about to do some serious organizing!🌹🌹🌹
These are very useful tips! I am sick of black and started buying white but have yet to wear most of it. Saw a woman in a laundromat wearing simple white sweats, tee and tennis shoes and it looked great. Also have a string of real pearls from 35 years ago that I've only worn twice. Need to get more organized.
I have barely worn any white in decades because I'm pale skinned and thought I needed to add color for some pizzaz. Then I started watching your channel about a month ago. Since then I have passed on to the charity store almost all of my unnatural fabrics (polyester), much of my printed tops and have gone a bit crazy buying white, cotton, lacy feminine tops. I feel I have really elevated my style. I had no idea how much I loved white. I also got rid of a lot of costume jewelry. I have several pairs of gold hoops that get worn a lot, but in the summer I like to occasionally wear red, white or blue earrings. It makes me feel nautical and summery.
I enjoy your channel so much and am only sad there is no one else on TH-cam with your grace.
Hi Aloha Annie, I am fair-skinned, too, and I found that wearing white/ivory showcases the peach tone of my complexion, as well as the peach color of my lip gloss. So many women look younger in white, because the light reflects the skin, brightens it. Glad that you discovered that you can look amazing in white!
i I have always saved my best jewelry (and other items) for Sunday church or formal affairs. This year I have been wearing my good jewelry more often and love it. I inherited several lovely pieces of jewelry from my mother which make me feel wonderful to wear and give me a feeling of love and strength. I had a few pieces remade into a style I love. At my age (68) I am not going to wear out my better clothes, so I am going to enjoy them instead of leaving them in my closet for Sunday. I love your channel and your content.
That is wonderful Sue 😃
Some of my best jewellery has been inherited- I wear it often- as I believe it’s only ‘loaned’ to me for my lifetime. It will be passed on, so I appreciate it, and enjoy it, and am proud to own it during my lifetime…
Thank you so much for this video. I retired in 2016 and have not bought any clothes...or outfits since. After viewing your videos I have shopped for some basics-that I learned from you! I went to a meeting and a much younger woman "loved" my jacket (it has actually been in my closet and I hadn't been wearing it!!). Today I got another compliment on "looking great". I am sure it was the outfit. Very simple "Marie-Anne chic"and causual with nice colors and better fitting clothing.
I work from home and have, um, not been stylish for a few years. I'm visiting my partner in a month and have bought a few new pieces based on your videos. I hope to wow him with a fresh, new, not-frumpy, dumpy look. Your guidance through your videos has been priceless. Thank you
Jewellery - wear quality not quantity. I completely agree Marie-Anne. May I add a couple of other suggestions too : don't be afraid to change the settings of precious stones as it's a relatively cheap way to upgrade your quality jewellery and also to invest in a quality jewellery cleaner as clean sparkling jewellery is an instant way to uplift a look.
Thank you Marie-Anne, you are as insightful as always.
I wear far less jewellery now that I am older. I gave away a lot of my "junk" jewellery in my 40s because a simpler look works better for me now. Excellent advice from Marie-Anne.
Thank you! I just love your style, energy, confidence, and passion. I am 54, with an appleshape body type, and had given up "dressing up". I just wear loungewear, and washout loose t-shirts. 🙈 But, you have given me hope. Will try "shopping" in my closet. I hope I find something nice to wear, deep down there. 😄
Ann Marie, you are so correct! Wear those special jewelry pieces, enjoy them. Saving them for a special occasion well, every day is special. I will only bring out my diamond tiara for delicious events😂.
Love your videos and presentation ❤️🇫🇷❤️.
You look fabulous…Don’t ever change. I love your style and sense of fashion. There is nothing any of us can do about ignorant people, except to laugh.
I just discovered your videos and I love them. I was hooked with the first one I watched. Hooked because RESPECT - respect for oneself and for the people around you - is a foundation of your work. I was so happy to hear you talk about this; it affirmed for me that I'm not just a lone crabby old 82 year old lady, but I that I know what I'm talking about and believe (while lookin' pretty good by sticking with the things you preach). Thank you and keep up the good work.
I absolutely love your channel! I enjoy it so much! Your style is so classicly elegant, so chic, so smart, and yet so clean and simple, and so affirming for me as a woman over the age of 40. Thank you so much for all of your tips. I live in the United States, and I am US American by birth, and it seems that women even my age or older go for a look that is more, shall we say, obtrusively sexy? So in my younger years when I was less settled in my way I felt a little pressure sometimes to fit in. The "sexy" look certainly has its appeal, but it's just not me: I don't like to draw attention to myself as doing so makes me feel silly. But I really identify so much with the classic European style of dress and self-presentation. So thank you for this channel!
I going to take a look through my jewelry I haven’t worn in years after watching this video!
🙌
Love what you said about wearing your best jewelry everyday. Might as well enjoy it ! I don’t do it, but I’m going to eliminate my costume jewelry .
Thank you . I'm now rethinking my outfits each day. Trying to wear different combinations .
I really like your suggestion of wearing our best jewellery everyday. I have been doing that for years because everyday is special. But I definitely surprise a lot of my friends that I do that. Now I know it’s ok to do that 😀👏🏼👏🏼 Great video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌸
Love this Marianne! I added some white pieces over the years - first, I thought white is not flattering, but it really updates every summer look! And a few years ago I threw away all my cheap jewelry and started to wear just the gorgeous pieces I herited from my grand/mother. (But I'm in my 40s now, so they became my style). And I added piece by piece new real gold jewelry - really a game changer my dear! 💕
Thank you for this video Marie-Anne! Advising people to “shop their closet” is good advice to remember. I often feel like I need to keep getting more clothes to look chic, when I probably already have a lot of great pieces.
Sometimes it’s better to work with what we already have instead of seeking the latest “new” piece we think we need.
I’d love to see a video from you about how to make a fall travel capsule wardrobe! I’m travelling to London next month and I’m trying to figure out how to pack for “between” seasons. I’d also love a video about your thoughts on popular French brands, such as Sezane - I see that brand pop up in a lot of videos from other stylists and wonder if their clothes are worth the investment or not.
One other thing I’ve noticed is shopping sustainably (choosing clothes made from sustainable fabrics and buying second hand) is becoming more important. Do people in France go thrifting? Have you found any great pieces at second hand/vintage stores in France? It would be interesting to see what great pieces can be found in these stores in France!
Yes, we can look at our closet with fresh eyes and ideas thanks to Marie-Anne!
I found a Saks 5th Avenue black, full length coat with Edwardian lapels and pocket trims in velvet, in an expensive little town thrift shop. I would have loved it forever. Unfortunately my auntie in a care home also loved it. Gone. I’ll never forget that coat. So some thrift shops are good and some are not. I look for the shop!
@@Donna-cc1kt Hi Donna, Wow, that coat sounds like it was really beautiful! The thrift shops in the wealthier areas tend to have a better selection of classic attire. There is a particularly amazing consignment store in Monterey, California that I adore: it has very high-end clothing and shoes.
I loved the advice on varying the monochromes and textures but I don't enjoy the white shirt and black trousers/skirt combo because of all the years I spent waitressing.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed today's video. I'm a big believer in shopping your closet, and trying to see your clothes in a new way. You help make getting dressed a real pleasure! Thank you!
Dear Marie-Anne,
I have so enjoyed watching your videos over the past several years!
I so appreciate your wisdom and creativity and and writing to thank you!
You are wonderful 💞
Jayne
Love this video! Great advise. I especially love when you said, if you don’t wear your best jewelry everyday, you might as well not have any! Exactement! I had a good laugh hearing these words. Merci beaucoup Maria-Anne!
When shopping I use an estimated cost per wearing formula: Price divided by the number of times worn/likely to wear = cost per wearing. I also shop my closet regularly.
For many years I had a black/off-white/navy blue capsule wardrobe for work and I still have a black/white one for dressy occasions. However; as a newly retired person, I'm adding color and pattern to my casual daily life: chili pepper red arabesque print, cobalt blue/white paisley, and pink gingham check cotton collard shirts. Thank you Marie-Anne and have a lovely weekend.
And there's that gorgeous white shirt AGAIN! I think you could style that 1,000 ways and I would love it every time. Your advice has helped me so much, Marie-Anne. Thank you!
White is so right.
Thank you, Marie-Anne for another informative video! In regard to wearing white, I wonder whether you would consider publishing an entire video on white shirts of various price points as you did with the marinaiére? I would also be interested in resources for white dresses. Thanks again!
Love this! I am a fan of wearing monochromatic outfits with a variation in texture. Keeps the look simple, chic and interesting. I really have to get a good belt. I was always afraid of wearing belts visibly because my tummy is bigger than I like. I'm learning that belts in the right places slim and accent the waist, accenting my curves and minimizing my tummy. Thanks for these tips! I'm off to find a good belt! :)
Hi Lovely, I am the same; I am down to only a few belts after a few years of having my tummy bigger than I wanted. However, now that I have lost weight, I need to showcase my slimmer physique with some great belts. They really elevate an outfit. I do have a gold-tone chain belt (two tiers) from Saks Fifth Avenue (30 years ago), that instantly elevates even jeans. It has never tarnished!
Great video Marie-Anne! Love these looks. I like that you reminded us to wear our nice jewelry every day, I totally agree otherwise it gets forgotten and never worn. I love the monochrome look! Merci! ❤️
Great tips. I simplified my jewelry box and wear simple but my best pieces - real gold hoops, delicate gold necklaces - and was surprised by the compliments I received. I also go monochrome or limit to two colours and less pattern and just feel more elegant and comfortable with what I wear. I still enjoy pattern but have much less. Helps save money too as more things go together. Love the tips!
The black and black and white outfits you showed on you were stunning on you. I think you are a Winter.
Navy Blue looks more expensive than black for me. And your navy blue blouse proves it 👗🧥
Practical, easy and classy tips to follow. Love these helpful videos....well, love all your posts!!
Dear Marie-Anne, What amazing tips! Thank for this sage advice. I love your idea of looping a silk scarf on your pants instead of a belt--how French, how chic. You look so lovely in all your pictures; I would much rather see you modeling outfits than a so-called professional model. And your property is so beautiful, too. Thank you!!
Dear Marie-Anne, I thought white tops or shirts no way. I have white hair BUT I tried with short pixie hair cut, red lipstick and a colour for a belt or scarf and voila tres chic. Many thanks for great advice xx
Marie-Ann I loved seeing all of the old clips from your last video's.
You look chic` in them all.
Great tips this week. Thank you 🌹🌹
Every suggestion . . . easy, sensible and so appealing to the eye (and budget).
You truly understand mature women. Again, thank you!
This video resonates with me and confirms that I have not wasted my investments in accessories and clothing. I do like the suggestions. I have found in my life that there are some things to keep and add on over the years. I keep all my scarves. The patterns are basic and most in silk. I can wear a scarf from 20 years ago and it is in style. Also with jewelry. I buy sterling silver and gold for a lifetime and classic styles. I did also buy many pieces from Barse, some silver, but many in bronze. The integrity of the company with natural stones and interesting mountings are great for jeans and travel. I keep all my high-quality leather bags-they are endless styles. I laughed at the washing machine, yes I did buy some white embroidered shirts. Every time I wear them, I will think of your washing machine comment! You made me smile and feel great about my lifetime collecting-it is all good.
Wow endless possibilities. Fabulous ideas. Soon we'll be in sticky humidity here in Qld Australia so I am embracing all your tips and tricks. Bought a gorgeous white textured blouse and black pants on sale. You give us so much confidence. Thank you beautiful lady. ❣❣
Lots of leather skirts, pants and blazers this fall. Varying textures was what I needed to make these pieces work. Thank you so much for your advise.
Marie-Anne i'ts true about white. Today I needed to protect my shoulders from the sun, I put a white tailored blouse over my sleeveless, it protected my shoulders but it totally elevated my whole outfit. It added such brightness. I loved it! And you're right about jewelry Im going to start wearing mine. :)
I read somewhere that woman over 40 should never wear plastic/cheap jewellery. And I agree. I think this is what you are saying as well.
Scarfs, belts yes! Generally you advice is great.
Thank you Marie Ann, you have so much ideas and I have taken many of them. They are classic.
I'm a singer , i have to look cool but not offensive. I love working out textures, as you say. 👍💜🎆 i have favourite pieces of jewellry, bead necklaces. But i have to make sure they won't catch in the guitar strap etc. So i stick to a simple but beloved pendant on a silver chain. 💜🎸🎤🎼🌅 ( favourite song : What a difference a day makes, by Dinah Washington. 💗).
I am currently sewing a new wardrobe of clothes (pandemic sort of over, want to start going out walking, need clothes to walk in) so am trying to do most outfits so they can be worn as a monochrome outfit - matching trousers and top - or they will mix with another outfit - trousers from this set, top from that set - so I have carefully chosen a few colours that will all go together (green, yellow, pink, lavender/lilac) and I make sure that I have hints of another colour(s) on each top in the form of piping details so I know they can be worn and still pick up the different colour used.
Thank you for another short summary video! From every your video I get some new idea or inspiration 🙂
I love white and ivory and light beige colours. And not only in summer. Monochrome outfit is also my favourite 👌🏻 Slimming and elegant.
Absolutely agree about wearing good quality jewelry every day.. Every day is a celebration of life. I like also to use good porcelain tea or coffee sets, silverware, linen or cotton serviettes etc Even if I am alone.
My latest purchase is a pair of large freshwater pearl studs. White🥰 Waiting to be delivered from small family jewelry business.
I like to support small businesses rather than "big sharks" 😅
I have always loved neutrals, but didn't have much white (except for an eyelet skirt I bought in Paris) until I started watching your videos. I now have added some white and cream pieces, and they really do upgrade a look. Your rock star hair in this video looks amazing, by the way!
I do not consider my self your target audience although I am over 50. I work from home in IT and spend most of my weekend in bike clothes or gardening togs. So imagine my surprise when I watched this video and then.....bought both a white blouse and white capri pants (necessary here in the hot and humid DC area). Wore them both during a bike trip weekend after the cycling ended and the dining began. Got lots of compliments so thank you!
Your advice about wearing your best pieces is great. I had never thought of that. Even though I do use my best china and stoneware daily! Great tip.
Last summer I bought a pair of white jeans which I totally love and wear with my white T-shirts and blouses. Excellent investment, and since the fabric is thick I don’t even have the problem of transparency…
Varying textures! Immediately gives you a chic AND edgy look.
Thankyou Marie anne i appreciate your advice ❤
🤗
LOOOOVE this video! One of my top 3 videos! It is comprehensive, shopping is optional to achieve and applies to all ages FOR all ages! Thank you very much Marie-Anne!!
I agree with all of your suggestions. I haven't worn belts for the longest time up until 9 months ago. ( I am in my mid sixties). Now I use the belt as a go-to to upgrade my outfits. It does make such a difference. I have always loved wearing white. I still find it hard to wear my white jeans in the winter, though. I also add cardigans to elevate some of my looks. Thanks again for your inspiration.
I simply love your english/french accent. Since living in Europe for the last 40 some odd yrs, I was told I developed an accent too 😄.
Thoroughly enjoy your refreshing videos and very nice tips too.
I would'nt upset myself from any dumb comments, although it was fun listening to them 😁. Some people just like being difficult 🤪.
Cheers from 🇨🇭💐.
White, monochrome varying texture..... familiar from earlier videos and I have been having a great time trying these ideas. My go to outfit a black sheath with pearls nude pantyhose black or nude shoes (bare legs in summer nude candles) cold weather - cardigans jackets etc. I LOVED THE BELT IDEA.....ANOTHER LOOK SAME PIECE... I always learn from your habit videos.....thank you G
Marie anne, all great tips! I love white clothes and wear them all year around. Dark clothes can visually shrink the outline of a shape, it also gives the impression of heavier mass. I noticed white clothes make people look lighter regardless of size, and more approachable. There were studies done to sports team uniform colors. The ones wearing dark ,especially the black ones get more penalty than the teams wearing lighter uniforms as black uniforms were perceived more aggressive.
Great tips. My tip to look always polished (but sometimes it seems people forget about it) are cleaned shoes & ironed clothes because this can completely ruin the whole outfit. 🤷🏻♀️
But what completely changed my perspective was capsule wardrobe system. So now, after few years and implementing few simple rules, I'm absolutely happy with my wardrobe without ruining my budget.
Greetings from the Czech Republic 🌸
Hi Katerina, Yes, you are so correct about the necessity to iron our clothing! I am fanatical about ironing my clothing, even my workout tops and yoga pants. I also iron a nice, crisp crease in my dress pants (not jeans). It really makes a difference.
Wonderful ideas and you look gorgeous in the examples! I still have to train my eye for the "monochrome" in the case of colour, I find that the colours need to have the same base undertone - either cool or warm - otherwise they clash. For example mixing a cool green with a warmer green, it looks off. And also this needs to be done in good natural lighting or it's easy to mismatch. I have struggled with monochrome for this reason, because most of my clothes were bought disregarding the undertone... so they don't always go together even if they are technically the same colour.
In my wardrobe :
Classic white shirt ☑️
Top to toe blues ☑️
Knits with corduroy (it's winter here!) ☑️
Minimal silver jewellery ☑️
No belts across this tummy, though 😜
I’ve always worn belts to really finish an outfit 🎉thanks Marie Anne Barb
Your suggestion of monochromatic dressing is so spot on! I frequently do that and always feel polished. I find that often your best dressing tips apply well to home decorating as well. I have decorated my first floor in varying shades and textures of cream and soft brown, with a red foyer and white trim throughout the house. It’s resulted in a soothing and classy presentation. I love your tips, Marie-Anne. ❤️
Marie-Anne I love this video and I love your channel. Thank you for the many tips and tricks you share with your community regarding style. One other option to elevate a look is to carefully choose a pair of shoes to add to the look. And, as I've learned from you, make sure the shoes are clean, and in good shape!
Love your videos.. I take something useful away every time..! Have a great day!
Hi Marie Anne, I am reviewing your older videos, and of course they are still very good for 2024. I am lucky enough to have inherited some classic jewelry pieces from my grandmother and my sweet auntie. I have a 1920s platinum engagement diamond ring, a large aquamarine ring, a gold braclet with several different colored stones, and a gold and silver mixed wide braclet! I wear these pieces on regular rotation. They remind me every day of my dear grandmother and aunt. Sometimes people will comment on my classic jewelry which always makes me feel happy! Thanks for all your videos! ❤
How wonderful Lynne that 1920s ring sounds beautiful 🤍
Thank you darling.... Following one of your advices about white clothing , today I went to Uniqlo and I bought a white linen long sleeve shirt and I was so happy that I decided to wear it when I left the shop with a black chino trousers that I was already wearing... 😂😂 I am delighted with the shirt... I was feeling so light and fresh... You have a video " how to style a white linen shirt" so I will watch it again....ladies, buy one, you will not regret..... 😊Thank you so much my most elegant youtuber in the world 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I also own that white linen shirt from Uniglo, i wash and air dry it on a hanger. No ironing for me. 👍
Looks rumpled yet chic.
Bonjour Marie-Anne! Excellent & inspiring advice again. I especially loved the ones about wearing white & bright monochromes. The other day I saw a young lady at the food shop and thought she was stunning. Her outfit was very simple, but gorgeusly elegant: bright white jeans that fit her perfectly, a sand color qood quality basic sweater, smallish golden hoop earrings, her hair in a relaxed bun and neat light brown leather sandals. It was perfection! 😊 I really saw some French chic here in Helsinki... so now I want to have a pair of bright white jeans. They really elevate an outfit. But, summer season is almost over here, so I think will only invest in them next spring. And instead wear one of my many white blouses.
The other thing is bright colors. I fell in love with green this summer! Got me a pair of grass green jeans (which I've worn a lot) and just now a slightly darker green button-up cotton shirt that is excellently cut and has short puffed sleeves. I love puffed sleeves, I think they suit me well. I just decided to wear this green outfit tomorrow for a small event, with leather sandals & small golden earrings! 😊
WOW Marie Anne throughly enjoyed this video. Loved all your suggestions and choices. Thanks 😊
Thank you!! I need all of your tips!
I just love your videos! Great ideas
I love these ideas! Thank you!
This has come just at the right time for me Marie-Anne as my hubby is taking me to a nice Restaurant this evening, with that in mind I am off to sort my wardrobe out. thank you as always.
Your hair looks great! Thanks so much for your advice…I always wear my good jewelry, because my husband bought it for me it’s the first nice jewelry I’ve ever had…🇺🇸
You are one of life’s beautiful people Marie -Anne…love your videos ….and your joyous personality too, 🥰
Bonjour Marie-Anne! More great tips from the best!! I like the idea of adding texture to create interest! Same applies to home decorating! Merci!!
I adore the idea of varying textures of clothing.
Dearest, Marie-Anne, such a lovely channel you have and such a sophisticated personality. I am in my early 30s but I feel like the best part of my life will start at 50!! This is the style I like to have and I would also love to live in France for a while or why not for a long time 🍀🤍🧿
Great video
I use all of those ideas already, especially the monochrome. I'm working on wearing white. I don't avoid white because it will get dirty, but because I really like black and dark colors. White on me feels like I'm wearing a neon sign.
One thing you didn't mention that I believe is an instant upgrade is adding a hat.
Kelsie, Yes, a hat takes the outfit to a much higher level! In the summer, I wear my Audrey Hepburn "Breakfast at Tiffany" hats; I add a white or black satin ribbon around the hat, and it flows down my back, very chic. I get so many compliments on my summer hats.
That settled my outfit for Sunday: black leather jacket, black cashmere turtleneck and black flats. I’d forgotten about the leather jacket until you reminded me. 🤓
Thank you for these simple tips. Upgrading with what you have is free. Much love beautiful!
