  • How to add some “chic” to a casual outfit - What to wear
    Casual chic is in between casual & formal in terms of dress code. In this video, I put together a casual outfit & then I show you how to accessorize it, how to play with colors & why materials and texture are important.

      I would like to see what companies you support for cloth shopping and why what companies you don’t and why? If they’re sustainable? If they’re worth the money and where to shop for what ? And how much should an item cost? I want to know if I’m over paying or under paying? Ect I bought a jean jacket for $25 and I guess I should’ve know better it hasn’t even been 6 months and it’s already fraying! I have started my capsule wardrobe thanks to you and want to invest in good pieces that will last me a long time not pieces that will fray soon! 😫

    I love your point about telling the brain the distinctions between focussed work time and down time. It makes such a huge difference. Our brains are very tricky and will sabotage us without such instruction. I have also been stepping up my skin care and daily grooming as well as dressing attractively during quarantine/isolation to lift my spirits without sacrificing comfort. I am also about to celebrate a birthday and have planned a lovely 4 course dinner with champagne for the occasion. I've planned an amazing outfit that always makes me feel like a million bucks and solicits compliments (even though I'm dining solo). I am not about to let a virus drag me down to the lowest slovenly denominator. That level of resistance is always my choice.

    "let's say you're wearing black from head to toe" ... yup, that's me, my wardrobe is 100% black. It's also minimalist, slightly more formal than necessary (I just love shirts okay), and somewhat androgynous although I do have some very feminine clothing that I enjoy wearing from time to time.
    Wearing all black has made me recognize and appreciate materials, shapes, cuts, textures of clothes. Before, I had no sense of fashion, I wore blue jeans and ill-fitting T-shirts. Maybe I'll introduce color into my wardrobe in time, but my horizons have been widened with how much variety there can be with only one color.

    "chic isn't just the way you look, it's the way you feel". So much this! It's taken me a long time to realise this, but comfort = confidence. (You also need style, but you know what I mean)! For me this particularly means footwear : if your shoes pinch, or are so high that you can't walk comfortably and elegantly, you just look like you're trying too hard, and are not comfortable in your skin.

    Thank you, Justine for your professionalism in regards to your video production. I so appreciate your direct and succinct style of presentation. Thank you for not making your viewers watch a long, musical intro every time They view one of your videos. Thanks for not sharing your cute pets or explaining something or some noise in the background, etc. I’m busy. I want to get to the point. I really have learned a lot from you about fashion that is meaningful in my own life. I’ve become more thoughtful about how my purchases impact our world in so many ways. I’m still learning, but I’ve become more focused on what I want from my closet and how to get it. Though still a work in progress, my wardrobe is much more in control than it once was. When friends tell me they have nothing to wear or it takes forever to get dressed, I refer them to you. Thank you.

    Wearing a nice outfit does so much for the mood! My way to dress up is usually just to add more accessories, jewelry etc. I generally feel more casual in more minimalist outfits, and adding more details make me feel fancier. I also consider makeup an important accessory, for example a statement lipstick can really dress up any look.

      ooh, just was thinking maybe paired with a muted neutral apart from black like a taupe. i guess it depends on the dominant colour in the animal print? don't look at animal print as a animal print, think of it as a pattern to complement like you're looking at the colour wheel. as for jewelry, depends where you want to go, myself, i love semi chunky bangles mixed in with gold bangles running up my forearm. ive got a gorgeous turquoise (sleeping beauty turquoise) oval shaped bangle done in the style of marquetry and has mother of pearl inlay interior. cost me a bomb but i love it dearly and i pair it with multiple gold bangles and bracelets and i love the effect❤️ also, id go impressive earrings and simple necklace as your neck is part of your torso which has the animal print on it.
      one of my fave outfits i have is a high waisted black skinny straight leg jeans, fitted black jersey knit top with slightly blouson low v neck, a vintage dark dark brown fake fur (back when fake fur looked real or it was a good faux fur) with ehru collar, 4 inch python stacked heels and a cute rose gold anklet. so yes, black top and bottoms, but, textured dark brown fur jacket pairing back with python heels.

    Hey Justine! could you maybe make a video on how to combine bottoms with a "different" design ( like the Palazzo ones) with shoes and coats? I love that style, but I'm often reluctant to wear them because I don't think they look nice with flat boots or long coats (I feel like a bag of potatoes!) And other than with summer clothes I struggle to make a cute outfit with them.
    Thanks for your video. Very interesting, as usual :)

    I love to crochet. After years of crochets a variety of items, I am able to look at a crocheted garment in a store or magazine and copy it without a pattern. I can then reproduce the top/skirt/scarf/hat in the color and fiber that suits me. I choose natural fibers mostly and think of how the color fits into my wardrobe. How the yarn feels and drapes is so important. I'm also petite (under 5 feet), so creating clothes that actually fit me is empowering. My goal is to move toward sewing my clothes or buying what I want from thrift stores.

    I agree that what I wear helps me focus on the task at hand. I transition from pjs to work out wear, then it's either my cleaning outfit or gardening outfit, depending on whether I'm inside or outside, then my actual work outfit as I sit in front on my computer for a few hours, then pjs again. I know it sounds like a lot of clothing changes, but it works for me, especially during this time when the normal cues aren't there. Stay safe😷

    Hi Justine, I would love to see a video on the evolution of the apron, and which ones to wear with different outfits. For many years now, I wear a peasant-style apron in the morning while food prepping for the day, and another after showering and getting fully ready for the day's housework/chores including hair, makeup, scarf or pearls, skirt or dress with matching loafers - that's my style :) My apron collection includes some antique (beautifully hand-stitched, worn and laundered carefully), vintage (frills, etc.), and modern but feminine in neutral colors. They mean a lot to me, tons are still sold so tons of us still wear them, and it would tickle me pink to see a video on this. If you designed an apron, what would it look like? Take care.

In his later years when he moved into a care facility, my maternal grandfather always wore 3 piece suits in wonderful colours (muted greens, grays, blues, grays) for day wear unless he was fishing. For funerals and weddings he had a black one. He thrifted many of them. He also always put a dab of perfume into his handkerchief and insisted on immaculately polished shoes. (I come by it via my DNA.)

    Thank you! I've been wearing comfy clothes while doing remote teaching for the past month, and just yesterday I realized I needed to make more of an effort with my wardrobe during "work hours" just for myself to feel professional again. Your tips came just in time. I was wondering, however, if you could address chic outfits in hot weather. I live in south Texas and summer is officially here. 85 (Fahrenheit) is the average temp but its already been 100 (is going to be again very soon). It is so hard to find chic/professional summer outfits because most people assume summer outfits mean vacation. I've only lived here for four years (before that I lived in a very cold state) so I'm still trying to build a summer wardrobe that isn't just running shorts and t shirts.

    Hi, Thank you for this video. I have been wearing the same kinds of clothes for 25 years. I came to the conclusion, after I was involved in a traffic accident and had my career abruptly come to a stop, that I didn't need any nice or fancy things anymore. In my life before that, I was in a very formal setting (court rooms and Public Prosecutor's offices), and now I'm in a very casual one (about bed bound, except for maybe 8-12 hours per week). Lately I have come to resent my black, well fitted mind you, t-shirt and yoga/jazz pants in black, and I'm on the hunt for a style that works in my life but isn't a, to be honest, a day pajama. But now THIS, in the world, doesn't help much (my immune system doesn't play well with viruses, so when they say isolation, I am well and truly isolated). And along comes THIS Video, and a few others, and I go yummy, I do need some of this, but how do I get there... This will be a project that I can do from my bed, thanks to TH-cam, and maybe a delivery service from a few select shops.
