1. Looking polished: sleeked hair, smooth hair etc. 2. Make-up not too bright or bold 3. Polished nails, nice looking hands, classic color nailpolish, always use a basecoat 4. Wardrobe: all black, classic slightly oversized shirt in key/basic colors, narural color outfits, fabric linen for elegance and ease, all kind of blazers, no too tight clothing, always go for a slightly bigger size/look 5. Attention to Details: jewellery is finishing touch, just a few
I’ve always dressed like a kid, I’ve never had no taste in style and I’m so tired of it. My mom never let me wear whatever I wanted and I couldn’t dress “too grown up.” Now that I’m making my own money I would love to buy things that make me look older and clean. Thank you for this video!
Well done for breaking out and into real style, which Lydia demonstrates perfectly, a few simple basics in whichever neutral colours suit you - black and camel aren't for everyone for instance but navy, white, mid- blue and even soft pink could be more flattering - with the addition of belt, and/or earrings, necklace, jaunty scarf, and handbag and shoes that are your personal taste but not garish, and you're there! Perhaps your mother was anxious that you should dress modestly, nothing tight, too bright or short, and you will be able to show her that classic is as modest as any mother could wish.
Struggled with a similar upbringing. My mother is a controlling, narcissist and I was raised in an ultra conservative community. I’m 50 and I feel like I’m finally finding my own expression and sense of style. We’ve got this! Sending you all the good vibes. 💕✨
Keep in mind girls and women that these people who gives us advice, give it from their own perspective and their own take on fashion/ make up/ hairstyle that they like or think it suits them the best. This information it’s not meant to be followed to the tee. This is not one size fits all because we are all different. Like everything, take what you like or serves you, and skip the rest. For a lot of women wearing oversized clothing looks beautiful on them, but for me I don’t look good. I hate when the pants are touching the floor! To me that’s a no-no... I would never wear silk, I don’t have the money, or time to take care of it, or the social life to be put together all of the time. I’m just a mom that wants to put more effort to her appearance because my kids are big now, I am making a little money , and I want to feel good and look good! For me. Also , we are different shapes, and ages, and have different styles, hair, color of skin so... don’t feel pressured to straighten your hair if your hair is curly! You do you.
Agreed. I have curly hair. A small waist, heavy bottom and wouldn’t look good with oversized clothes. However, there is still value in this content for me to have a more holistic understanding of fashion, styles, ect. Also I admire and like to look at certain styles even if they don’t match mine.
tip for tiny asian girls: (ive learnt from experience) don't go too oversized, you'll look like you're drowning in your dad's clothes. i think fitting clothes that are slightly loose fit is a better alternative to full out oversized! high waisted pants look good and enhances your proportions expecially for smaller people :)
it's literally just about the color palette of the outfit, then some details of the clothes or texture/material/fabric as well as accessories also makes the overall look more elevated even just in simplicity
Hi.. I want to let y’all know that Jesus Loves you. I’m not trying to do anything negative here, but I used to have terrible mental health problems and I want to let y’all know that they went away when I got to know Jesus, they went away. I Love y’all and I promise that He Loves you too. You are very Loved. You can go to Him and be saved. You can read His word and talk to Him. He hears. We’ve gotta have enough discipline to read and Study what He said in His Word. He is my everything. Jesus Loves you. I’m not joking and I’m not trying to “shove religion down your throat” I want to come out and say it because The Holy Bible tells us to share The Gospel. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t tell people that they can fill that empty void in them? God saved me. I used to struggle with TERRIBLE mental health. GOD revealed HIMSELF to me through HIS word and The Presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT. I now am free. I used to think that I would never be cured and it seemed crazy to think that there were actually people who don’t have these problems. Freedom from ocd sounded like I dream. I thought having a slim body and a boyfriend would fill the empty void inside me that felt like it was taking over. It didn’t. I just kept wanting to be skinnier and kept wanting more people to like me. Now I know GOD and have so much JOY and PEACE (yes, real PEACE) that I want everyone else to have it. So please, talk to GOD, ask HIM to show you HIS presence, HIS word. Jesus is The Only way to The Father. We have to believe HIM. Not just believe that He exists, but believe in who we KNOW HE IS. We have to know HIM. The Holy Bible says that Jesus is The Truth. It also says that The TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. I’m a living witness. Many people say that they feel uncomfortable when we talk about The Truth. It’s called conviction and we are supposed to feel it. Also, demons hate when you know GOD so they give you so many desires not to know HIM. but GOD is against them. GOD LOVES you. The Holy Bible says that GOD IS LOVE. John 8:32 “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” Everybody is searching for The Answer. I know what The Answer is. The Answer is JESUS. God is the meaning of Life. 1 John 4:8 “The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” Philippians 3 Ezekiel 33:8-9 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will certainly die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked about his way, that wicked person shall die for his wrongdoing, but I will require his blood from your hand. But if you on your part warn a wicked person to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die for his wrongdoing, but you have saved your life. Isaiah 41:10 New American Standard Bible Isaiah 41:10 nasb Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God.

trying to look for a set style going into 2022 feeling more confident and boss like! classy and polished is way easier than I thought it would be! looks so elegant without being too much or too tacky.
The comments about just making a little extra effort and paying attention to details really helps me. I like to be understated so I tend to struggle with accessorizing or styling an out fit without feeling over done. I just don’t feel like I am very stylish even when I’m putting in the extra effort. Im just going to make a point finding for a few more understated things that work make me.
I would agree with all of these suggestions with the caveat that if you're somebody with richer or deeper skin tones you can really pull off colour, so don't use neutrals too often
I agree on almost everything you suggest Lydia, apart from 'oversized vs a tighter jacket'. I have a black Jil Sander fitted jacket which is absolute perfection. The shoulders fit perfectly (as opposed to baggy/loose hanging) which looks so polished; I always get compliments when wearing it. An oversized jacket on me quite honestly looks ridiculous, as I am just 1.63 in height (5'4") and anything oversized completely drowns me. I think it would depend on one's build and height.
Hi Jay! I think you hit the nail on the head with the idea of fitted. It’s got to be the right fit, definitely, but I think tighter styles that are nipped in at the waist look dated at the moment. Whereas a lovely cut and fit is different, perhaps I should have expressed it a bit more in detail!
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson Agreed; just to clarify Lydia, my Jil Sander jacket is fitted only on the shoulders but not nipped in on the waist. It is straight all the way down, if that makes sense. I do find nipped in waists a tad dated. Have a great week xx
If I had your legs and could wear them looser slinkymshort you,show inmanothermvidel or my arms as I did when younger I wlike your,loose blazer , oversize shirt,look BUT,when you are older 40ish one looks very frumpy in these very loose styles. I dress for my body FIRST was any good stylist will tell you. AT 20, 30 I,could wear any style and bec my face andmhair,were chic I looked like a model in everything. AFter 40 I,have a curvy hourglass figure whichhas ITS joy's too. I am far more comfortable,with my body than when I was younger so I wear high quality fitted waist b.azer...Love Balmain wit them sharp shoulders, etc. I do wear slightly looser pants but now prefer skirts...I love midis which on me call for a fitted top...shirts have to have darted vertically in the back and front fitted but not tight ...in high quality cotton, linen, and silk.o emphasis my hust and waist. Not tarty tight but showing my hourglass figure is my best strateg. baggy bottoms and baggy,all,over, blazer etc and at 5 ft 4in I would look like, a walkimgmpaler bag....great if rectangular body and tall as my sister is.
As a plus size it really took me a while to realize that loose/oversized clothes are THE BEST and the most elegant for my body type and that elegant classic style will give you a huge boost of confidence -if you need it ofc-
How refreshing you are for someone so young...I have always made the effort so did my Mother in her day she never went out without gloves to match her handbag and shoes...... perhaps a few years off yet for you...but a brooch on a jacket or coat and pearl necklace or earrings....so many people today seem not to care how they look....it doesn't matter to me whether I am going out to dinner or going shopping I always aim to look my best.....happy days indeed....best wishes Jane....North Wales....
I love that you talked about hair as your first point, personally for me it made the biggest difference as I have naturally frizzy and unruly hair that is wavy in all the wrong places :D As for makeup, I'd say if you are able to achieve a bright and clear complexion, no make up with a polished outfit and hair can give a really intriguing, sophisticated result. Less conventionally pretty, but definitely beautiful and elegant.
@@jesspz3780 hey! Wanted to share a few tips that have worked for me. I've stopped blow drying as it made my hair puff up and look frizzy. Instead I do a middle part, comb my hair sleekly and use one Bobby pin on either side so my front hair dry frizz free. For the rest of the hair, I scrunch them a bit and leave them to air dry. Also I don't brush wet hair, only use a wooden comb after hair is like 80% dry. I also apply argan oil as a leave-in after wash. For touch ups after the wash day, I use clear brow gel to clean up my hairline and apply aloe vera gel just on the ends to smoohen out the split ends. And do look at your local stores for coconut cream and use it as a hair mask twice a month! Made a huge difference for me
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson yes that'd be wonderful. I have gigantic boobs and as much as I love collared button downs; especially wearing oversized ones make me look circus-sized in the bosom area. I have one chamber that I unbutton entirely over a black singlet, or button up at the bottom only and that hides boobs ok. So sad I can't wear these shirts :(
As someone who only owns black clothing and shoes, there are some really good tips here..people often ask me how to do it and it is the easiest thing ever...keep your clothing clean and pressed, buy quality fabrics and with all black out fits mix up fits and styles. Invest in high quality shoes!
You are absolutely right about if clothes are too tight it cheapens the outfit. I think people (myself included!) try and squeeeeze themselves into a smaller size, we should make sizes irrelevant altogether tbh as we are all beautiful so thanks i took a lot out of this video
For the *all black* tip: *can we wear 2 different shades of black?* U see the problem is, indoors, it doesn't look any different but when u step outside, it looks like 2 different shades...And i have seen gals wear it (and it looks *not so put together* to me!)
I'm a chronic monochromatic black wearer lol so my solution to this is: I usually wear blacks in different textures to offset this. If you wear something that is a cotton material on top and bottom... and the black shades don't match.. one is obviously going to look more faded than the other. However, for example, if you wear a silky black top with black denim, it's different textures and will look effortless and sleek. Same goes for maybe black leather leggings with a black knit sweater. Or a velvet black top with black trousers :)
I just feel like sometimes people should not aim for looking expensive but rather put together while being themselves. Really lovely video, adore your channel! 💕💕 you are super inspiring
Ya it depends honestly but I think the same my wardrobe is mixed some things are expensive some are affordable but ya not cheap because it's uncomfortable and doesn't last long . And always about attitude , confidence , hair .
I'm 16 yrs old nd i love this style😭 simple plus classy plus on budget♡ Literally every people around me, my frnds, strangers.i rarely see ppl dressing classy/elegantly so I'mma try this style Cuz i don't wanna follow the crowd Just wanna be unique plus look expensive♡
This is the video I am going to use for students trying to get into the airline industry. Good grooming, presentation and polish. Lydia is young and influential, but natural and down to earth… she will go down a storm, thanks Lydia
Great video as always! I have the UNIQLO in orange n ivory, Lululemon in green, red and black. I really love the lululemon red n black because i managed to snatch the ones with the limited edition lululemon embossed strap. N yes u r right, though speedy B25 been around for awhile, it really holds during the winter or summer. Love my speedy b25 too! Now that u mentioned, i may wanna buy the PU UNIQLO black They actually have it on COPYMAXY . Even more cheap. Another thing i agree with u ...backpack during holidays is worrisome. That's why my mcm backpack is seriously under utilised now Have a great day dear!
I love these elegant and minimal styles and I really enjoyed the video♥ However I have to disagree on buying everything oversized. I was kind of into buying things oversized for a while, then I discovered that it doesn't look great on my body because I had a petite figure with less defined shoulders and hips and the clothes just slouched all over the place and I looked like I had clothes handed down to me by older sisters and brothers. The oversized look definitely looks chic on taller women or women with well defined figures, however I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially those with petite figures.
Yes totally agree with what you’re saying. What I mean by this is things that aren’t very tight and nipped in. I think a regular fit shirt looks more modern and fresh than a very tight fitting shirt which can be dated. Definitely agree with you though!
I agree with you about that. I’m petite as well and oversized clothes can look frumpy. As Lydia said in her reply, it’s better to avoid tight clothing. I’m not convinced about the oversized jacket either. I do think women with broad shoulders can get away with that look but I know it wouldn’t work for me.

@@Polyxeniism I live in India, it's not like they aren't allowed lol, you'd melt in it...the lowest temp of the year in my city is probably 25 degree like for a day or two in dec :p
Just your usual sophisticated and lovely self! ❤️ Excellent tips for everyone that are easy to employ. One thing I’ve always done is never return an item to my wardrobe if it was just worn. I make sure it is freshened, pressed or whatever so there are no surprises if I quickly choose to wear it again. Just keep being you!

Thanks for this video! Been following your IG and YT for a while now, just want to chime in to say you know yourself and express your personal style very well. Kudos for putting together this excellent list of tips. Here's my interpretation of your tips, applying towards myself (Asian, almost 50, 5'3", medium frame, short legs/long torso): 1. 100% agree on hair/nails/makeup. Sign of having spent a tiny bit of effort = good self-care = messaging to the world you're confident even if you're having a blah day. Fake it till you make it, etc. 2. Find your own black. Black's not necessarily the most flattering for all skin tones, ages, time of year, etc. My black happens to be navy for example. 3. Shirts. Love the idea of an oversized shirt, but I can upsize maybe 1 size up? Any more than that, I'd be swamped as I'm not very tall. But 100% agree on ironing out all the wrinkles. Bonus points of wearing a button front shirt? The collar and placket adds structure to your appearance. I always feel 5lbs lighter wearing a shirt vs. a stretchy top. 4. Neutrals/solids/tonal dressing. Totally. You can still incorporate interest via a striped or small patterned top or scarf. 5. Materials/Fabrics. As I've gotten older, I've become a bigger believer in natural materials and fabrics. I have paid for and received good repairs on natural leathers, linens, woolens, etc. Much more sustainable than with PVC/polyester/acrylics. Your upfront investments will yield long term dividends. 6. Blazers - on topic of fit, slouchy is very of the moment, slightly loose is middle of the road and a bit more timeless. I have only just begun thinking about replacing 3 blazers that I've had for almost 10 years because they look a little tight on me now (middle age creeping on...) If I were to buy a boyfriend fit blazer, I'm sure I'll tired of it in 2 years' time. 7. Too tight/bad fit - yep, fit really matters. Not just in terms of tightness, but in how the lines of the garment follow your body, how long your sleeves/pant legs fall, even the width of a cuff. Find a good tailor and invest in that relationship. 8. Jewelry/accessories - love your bling! totally worthwhile to put away some savings and invest in good pieces that will last. I was fortunate in being gifted a very good everyday watch for my uni graduation. I still wear it almost every day. Phew! Sorry for the long post. Your vid just really resonated with me. Keep posting these! Love your work!!
haha love your response and great that you can share your ideas too! Totally agree, it's all about adapting these things to your own style and body. Not everything works for everyone but this is a general rule of thumb! Thanks for your message!

I wish you had shed little light in classy shoes. I try to dress elegant and shoes always give me hard time because it's so difficult to find quality shoes in budget. On top of all this, finding classy shoes is becoming so harder in general...either you get too casual sneakers or too dressed up 6 inches heels. I am updating my wardrobe, if you can give some suggestions...
Look out for sales on macys for example. Clarks shoes have very proper and comfortable flats. Another tip is you can make a classic low heel bootie shoe look well with many outfits.
I love this video, such simple ideas that make so much difference. If possible, could you make one of this days a video on crucial pieces to have on a wardrobe to dress classy and formal to the office but at the same time not wearing a suit all the time. Thank you very much
loveeee your channel! Just found it and obsessed. I've never really considered my personal style but am now suddenly really looking into who I am with my style so you've helped me sort this!
girl YT recommanded this vd to me and when i clicked im instantly shocked cos i think we got the same vibes and style and way of thinking ; like im very happy that i found smn like you keep it up u r amazing

Great content. Love most except that it doesn’t acknowledge different body types. With my pear shaped heavy bottom body I feel I can’t wear loose all throughout because I would look super big and for my body accentuating my waist and hips works better.
@@MGyoutube307 I am very pale blond. Believe me. I have to put a lot of make up on, because suddenly my undereyes look darker, I look sickly paler etc.
easier steam hack: if you take really hot showers, find a place in the bathroom to hang your shirt or pants and let the steam from the hot shower help with wrinkles. I use this when I'm getting ready to go out and don't have the time to get out the small wrinkles and dig out the iron.
I think that it's important to said that every one had a body type and if u don't feel good with this kind of style it is not because u are fat or ugly or whatever. U are just u and different and incredible!
Aminta Lamas She’s listed it in the description box as one from Barry M 😄. There are so many amazing neutral and classic colored polishes out there that I think it’s also fun to experiment and see what suits you. 😘😘
Hi.. I want to let y’all know that Jesus Loves you. I’m not trying to do anything negative here, but I used to have terrible mental health problems and I want to let y’all know that they went away when I got to know Jesus, they went away. I Love y’all and I promise that He Loves you too. You are very Loved. You can go to Him and be saved. You can read His word and talk to Him. He hears. We’ve gotta have enough discipline to read and Study what He said in His Word. He is my everything. Jesus Loves you. I’m not joking and I’m not trying to “shove religion down your throat” I want to come out and say it because The Holy Bible tells us to share The Gospel. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t tell people that they can fill that empty void in them? God saved me. I used to struggle with TERRIBLE mental health. GOD revealed HIMSELF to me through HIS word and The Presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT. I now am free. I used to think that I would never be cured and it seemed crazy to think that there were actually people who don’t have these problems. Freedom from ocd sounded like I dream. I thought having a slim body and a boyfriend would fill the empty void inside me that felt like it was taking over. It didn’t. I just kept wanting to be skinnier and kept wanting more people to like me. Now I know GOD and have so much JOY and PEACE (yes, real PEACE) that I want everyone else to have it. So please, talk to GOD, ask HIM to show you HIS presence, HIS word. Jesus is The Only way to The Father. We have to believe HIM. Not just believe that He exists, but believe in who we KNOW HE IS. We have to know HIM. The Holy Bible says that Jesus is The Truth. It also says that The TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. I’m a living witness. Many people say that they feel uncomfortable when we talk about The Truth. It’s called conviction and we are supposed to feel it. Also, demons hate when you know GOD so they give you so many desires not to know HIM. but GOD is against them. GOD LOVES you. The Holy Bible says that GOD IS LOVE. John 8:32 “and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” Everybody is searching for The Answer.

This was a great video, thank you!. I have ginger hair and very pale skin, so I tend to wear navy rather than black as black can be quite a draining colour for us redheads. Also, Johnson and Johnson do a spray-on conditioner for kids, that works very well to help create a sleek look for your hair: I use it after blow-drying my hair straight to help with heat damage.
Lydia ty for sharing! I suggest pulling your rack away from the wall and you stepping forward 5 feet forward closer to a window light, as well cross lighting clothes, as well away from the wall. you will be away from the artwork on wall creating better back drop /you will be able to hear you better -better presentation you’re so pretty OK
I love seeing this young lady look so sophisticated and she shows how effortless it is. Classic. There is so much crap out there and don't know who to blame really, i guess the younger designers because they do dictate on what to wear. Not every woman has a limo driver to drive her everywhere and she can be seen wearing a naked dress to an event. This is not realistic to the average woman who has to take the bus/subway. Bravo to you Lydia, these clothes never go out of style and they are functional. By the way love that necklace.
this is my goal to dress classy, elegant, and feminine when i’m older. i’m 14 and i want to dress like this already, i just need a job to buy what i desire.
My friends used to tell me I dress "too much like a 'richie" to complain if I ever get mugged and that made me stop using gold jewerly or long coats lmao. I'll take those tips and dress some of them down to fit my current living situation
People when I was in highschool: *Won't talk to me or makes fun of me because I wear all black* Those same people now: "Omg yas all black is my fave he he he It's like all I wear"
You do understand the difference between a black swearshirt, black denim skirt and black net stockings versus black cotton pantsuit right? I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm making assumptions about your highschool wardrobe. I don't mean to. Just stating the obvious that the color can only go so far in effect the overall look of the outfit.
@@Mindofliz Because... usually when people talk about wearing only black on highschool they refer to an emo-stage. So the people mocking them for it didn't 'come around' about black clothes... the color was not what they were laughing at. And again, I didn't mean to assume anything about you/your wardrobe (and bullying is wrong eitherway). Just some observation... I'm sorry if it offended you.
@@dinakleper8076 Ah, true. I wasn't talking about you in this comment lo I was talking about like the new "grunge" phase that has appeared where girls are wearing pretty much the same thing as people wore in middle school except now it's "cool" with like, oversized thrasher sweatshirts and chunky black boots and black eyeliner, baggy pants, etc.
I love this video! I feel I need slightly slimmer cuts of blazers and tops. I’m curvy and big, blousy , body items just add pounds. So princess fit or darts and no excess fabric are crucial to my put together look.

I feel like because her shape is VERY slim , I would be conscious of your own body shape , I'm very hourglass figure for example. So I would need to cinch in my waist some to avoid looking like a big square. It's very easy for more of a slim / athletic to do oversized. But for ladies with shapes be aware of your overall silhouette the outfit creates for you 💞 love this content though x
Everything except the hair is doable for me. Hair straightening for wavy hair like mine has proved disastrous. Unless you have hair, how will you style it? You lose so much hair with chemical straightening. I've kinda made peace with this and decided to keep my waves. They actually look natural, make me look younger and give me an effortless style.
Nice video. Ive seen many of these videos and it looks like looking expensive means not wearing colors, only neutrals, loose clothes, minimal makeup, and sleek hair? Colors are beautiful and variety.
I start my counseling practicum (basically an internship) this week and I think this will be my work aesthetic 🖤 I have tattoos so it’s long sleeves every day for me so might as well have fun with it
Fantastic ideas-much appreciated! Now if I could only find the time to implement them between working, working working and helping to look after 2 very active grandchildren-oh and the cat and the husband and friends and family and going out....
Thanks. I buy clothes shoes and bag at the thrift shop.. people who don't know me think I'm rich but my wardrobe costs less than my husband's knickers.. it really doesn't matter if you don't have money. I want to look rich not because I want to look down on poor people. I just want to express my inner wealth even if I'm making ends meet. You don't have to sacrifice your budget for necessities buying expensive stuffs just so you can impress others. You can look classy even if you're dirt poor. Just know where and when you can buy great stuffs at a bargain.

I love your style and I really appreciate your videos. They’ve made a huge difference in my relationship with my wardrobe. Do you ever sell gently used items from your closet? I try to buy second hand items when possible especially for high quality staples. I’m about your size and I’d love to shop the items you rotate out of your collection!
There is a German brand (don’t know if they ship worldwide) called Hallhuber that sells really classy, beautiful and feminine clothes for an acceptable price. They have beautiful fabrics such as cashmere, alpaca wool and silk.
I stalk the Aritzia sale section. I've got $128 virgin wool and cashmere skirts for $30 and a virgin wool and cashmere winter coat for $175 that was originally nearly $500. It helps to buy out of season so I bought the winter coat in July. focusing on natural fabrics is also a good way to always look expensive, they keep nicer and last longer.
I love all your tips however a better option for fly away hairs can be found in the Black hair care section. Every black woman can tell you how to tame those. I learned a lot working out of a black hair saloon for a few weeks while doing a hair car research study. Also any tips for larger women?
Im getting older and im starting to realize this is the style that suits me!! I want a classic, chic, timeless style. I love this!!
Same and because its so timeless, you dont need buy thousand of trendy things
🙋♀️
🙌🏻 I still want to go chunky, colour and just everything out of box. And here I am can’t even manage heels. Tired. 😭
Same here! I will be 32 soon and I love this!
Thank you !!! I couldn’t agree more !!
Anyone else have a realization in 2020 that your style isn’t actually streetwear and that it’s actually classy and chic
That literally happened to me
Yes lol
Yup
Me
@Viola Monola ik lol but I meant like have a realization in the year of 2020 not 2021
1. Looking polished: sleeked hair, smooth hair etc.
2. Make-up not too bright or bold
3. Polished nails, nice looking hands, classic color nailpolish, always use a basecoat
4. Wardrobe: all black, classic slightly oversized shirt in key/basic colors, narural color outfits, fabric linen for elegance and ease, all kind of blazers, no too tight clothing, always go for a slightly bigger size/look
5. Attention to Details: jewellery is finishing touch, just a few
Snooze!
Thankyou soo much ❤️
Thanks
Thank you!!💖
I’ve always dressed like a kid, I’ve never had no taste in style and I’m so tired of it. My mom never let me wear whatever I wanted and I couldn’t dress “too grown up.” Now that I’m making my own money I would love to buy things that make me look older and clean. Thank you for this video!
@@bathemeinchampagne Thank you so much, i'll check it out!
Well done for breaking out and into real style, which Lydia demonstrates perfectly, a few simple basics in whichever neutral colours suit you - black and camel aren't for everyone for instance but navy, white, mid- blue and even soft pink could be more flattering - with the addition of belt, and/or earrings, necklace, jaunty scarf, and handbag and shoes that are your personal taste but not garish, and you're there! Perhaps your mother was anxious that you should dress modestly, nothing tight, too bright or short, and you will be able to show her that classic is as modest as any mother could wish.
Struggled with a similar upbringing. My mother is a controlling, narcissist and I was raised in an ultra conservative community. I’m 50 and I feel like I’m finally finding my own expression and sense of style. We’ve got this! Sending you all the good vibes. 💕✨
Omg that's happening to me
.
Keep in mind girls and women that these people who gives us advice, give it from their own perspective and their own take on fashion/ make up/ hairstyle that they like or think it suits them the best. This information it’s not meant to be followed to the tee. This is not one size fits all because we are all different. Like everything, take what you like or serves you, and skip the rest. For a lot of women wearing oversized clothing looks beautiful on them, but for me I don’t look good. I hate when the pants are touching the floor! To me that’s a no-no... I would never wear silk, I don’t have the money, or time to take care of it, or the social life to be put together all of the time. I’m just a mom that wants to put more effort to her appearance because my kids are big now, I am making a little money , and I want to feel good and look good! For me.
Also , we are different shapes, and ages, and have different styles, hair, color of skin so... don’t feel pressured to straighten your hair if your hair is curly! You do you.
This needs to be pinned
Exactly. It’s better to find guides catering to body shapes and skin tones than just black and linen.
Hmm I hear you and I believe you are in the wrong chanel/video. Should watch one that suits your personal needs better 🙂
Agreed. I have curly hair. A small waist, heavy bottom and wouldn’t look good with oversized clothes. However, there is still value in this content for me to have a more holistic understanding of fashion, styles, ect. Also I admire and like to look at certain styles even if they don’t match mine.
love this so much. Eveyone needs to read this and remember this
I've also noticed that wearing sunglasses (outside obvs) in any season makes you look more expensive and put together, I've subbed 😊
tip for tiny asian girls: (ive learnt from experience) don't go too oversized, you'll look like you're drowning in your dad's clothes. i think fitting clothes that are slightly loose fit is a better alternative to full out oversized! high waisted pants look good and enhances your proportions expecially for smaller people :)
it's literally just about the color palette of the outfit, then some details of the clothes or texture/material/fabric as well as accessories also makes the overall look more elevated even just in simplicity
Absolutely agree! Elegance is often in the details!

trying to look for a set style going into 2022 feeling more confident and boss like! classy and polished is way easier than I thought it would be! looks so elegant without being too much or too tacky.
The comments about just making a little extra effort and paying attention to details really helps me. I like to be understated so I tend to struggle with accessorizing or styling an out fit without feeling over done. I just don’t feel like I am very stylish even when I’m putting in the extra effort. Im just going to make a point finding for a few more understated things that work make me.

I would agree with all of these suggestions with the caveat that if you're somebody with richer or deeper skin tones you can really pull off colour, so don't use neutrals too often
Very true! I'm dark skinned and find that neutrals colours, especially beige, do not do my skin tone justice
Yes! The more melanin the more colors you can pull off that I can't! I would stay away from highlighter marker colors but rock those jewel tones!
How to look expensive: buy expensive good quality clothes in neutral colours. Bcz good quality clothes which also feels and looks comes with a price.
but not everyone can afford to buy good quality expensive clothes?
@@indigo-nk2iu second hand tho ?
I disagree with neutral colors. Buy good (and often expensive) quality clothing in your season colors.
@@julijakeit not everyone has four seasons, and neutrals go with everything. Colour still looks good though.
@@zippy3253 by season she meant your color palette
I agree on almost everything you suggest Lydia, apart from 'oversized vs a tighter jacket'. I have a black Jil Sander fitted jacket which is absolute perfection. The shoulders fit perfectly (as opposed to baggy/loose hanging) which looks so polished; I always get compliments when wearing it. An oversized jacket on me quite honestly looks ridiculous, as I am just 1.63 in height (5'4") and anything oversized completely drowns me. I think it would depend on one's build and height.
Hi Jay! I think you hit the nail on the head with the idea of fitted. It’s got to be the right fit, definitely, but I think tighter styles that are nipped in at the waist look dated at the moment. Whereas a lovely cut and fit is different, perhaps I should have expressed it a bit more in detail!
@@LydiaJaneTomlinson Agreed; just to clarify Lydia, my Jil Sander jacket is fitted only on the shoulders but not nipped in on the waist. It is straight all the way down, if that makes sense. I do find nipped in waists a tad dated. Have a great week xx
JayJay Tailor yes absolutely! Same to you xxx
If I had your legs and could wear them looser slinkymshort you,show inmanothermvidel or my arms as I did when younger I wlike your,loose blazer , oversize shirt,look BUT,when you are older 40ish one looks very frumpy in these very loose styles. I dress for my body FIRST was any good stylist will tell you. AT 20, 30 I,could wear any style and bec my face andmhair,were chic I looked like a model in everything. AFter 40 I,have a curvy hourglass figure whichhas ITS joy's too. I am far more comfortable,with my body than when I was younger so I wear high quality fitted waist b.azer...Love Balmain wit them sharp shoulders, etc. I do wear slightly looser pants but now prefer skirts...I love midis which on me call for a fitted top...shirts have to have darted vertically in the back and front fitted but not tight ...in high quality cotton, linen, and silk.o emphasis my hust and waist. Not tarty tight but showing my hourglass figure is my best strateg. baggy bottoms and baggy,all,over, blazer etc and at 5 ft 4in I would look like, a walkimgmpaler bag....great if rectangular body and tall as my sister is.
JayJay Tailor I agree, being 155cm if I wear oversized I look ridiculous
As a plus size it really took me a while to realize that loose/oversized clothes are THE BEST and the most elegant for my body type and that elegant classic style will give you a huge boost of confidence -if you need it ofc-
How refreshing you are for someone so young...I have always made the effort so did my Mother in her day she never went out without gloves to match her handbag and shoes...... perhaps a few years off yet for you...but a brooch on a jacket or coat and pearl necklace or earrings....so many people today seem not to care how they look....it doesn't matter to me whether I am going out to dinner or going shopping I always aim to look my best.....happy days indeed....best wishes Jane....North Wales....
I love that you talked about hair as your first point, personally for me it made the biggest difference as I have naturally frizzy and unruly hair that is wavy in all the wrong places :D As for makeup, I'd say if you are able to achieve a bright and clear complexion, no make up with a polished outfit and hair can give a really intriguing, sophisticated result. Less conventionally pretty, but definitely beautiful and elegant.
Agreed!
How did you tame the frizz? Besides like conditioning it, using cold water. Are their certain products that work best for you?
@@jesspz3780 hey! Wanted to share a few tips that have worked for me. I've stopped blow drying as it made my hair puff up and look frizzy. Instead I do a middle part, comb my hair sleekly and use one Bobby pin on either side so my front hair dry frizz free. For the rest of the hair, I scrunch them a bit and leave them to air dry. Also I don't brush wet hair, only use a wooden comb after hair is like 80% dry. I also apply argan oil as a leave-in after wash.
For touch ups after the wash day, I use clear brow gel to clean up my hairline and apply aloe vera gel just on the ends to smoohen out the split ends. And do look at your local stores for coconut cream and use it as a hair mask twice a month! Made a huge difference for me

@@LydiaJaneTomlinson yes that'd be wonderful. I have gigantic boobs and as much as I love collared button downs; especially wearing oversized ones make me look circus-sized in the bosom area.

As someone who only owns black clothing and shoes, there are some really good tips here..people often ask me how to do it and it is the easiest thing ever...keep your clothing clean and pressed, buy quality fabrics and with all black out fits mix up fits and styles. Invest in high quality shoes!
I’ve been watching Dynasty and I’ve been appreciating all of Fallon’s and the Cristals’ outfits
Especially the outfits where they’re wearing blush pink colored dresses and blouses 😍 looks so good with either gold or silver jewelry
Same here, so classy and elegant
You are absolutely right about if clothes are too tight it cheapens the outfit. I think people (myself included!) try and squeeeeze themselves into a smaller size, we should make sizes irrelevant altogether tbh as we are all beautiful so thanks i took a lot out of this video
Clothes should fit your body not your body to clothes. Buy clothes that fit 80% of your favorite features and have the rest tailored to fit your body.
@@HosCreates good tip!

I do like these tips and hints, I'd just add that navy blue is often more flattering than black when you're over 40.
The variety of textures in the HIDUPZ pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
For the *all black* tip: *can we wear 2 different shades of black?* U see the problem is, indoors, it doesn't look any different but when u step outside, it looks like 2 different shades...And i have seen gals wear it (and it looks *not so put together* to me!)
I noticed this problem to. So I prefer to wear black with dark grey
This is one of my pet peeves 😬
I'm a chronic monochromatic black wearer lol so my solution to this is: I usually wear blacks in different textures to offset this. If you wear something that is a cotton material on top and bottom... and the black shades don't match.. one is obviously going to look more faded than the other. However, for example, if you wear a silky black top with black denim, it's different textures and will look effortless and sleek. Same goes for maybe black leather leggings with a black knit sweater. Or a velvet black top with black trousers :)
@@simb6847 so true. Very gd point
I just feel like sometimes people should not aim for looking expensive but rather put together while being themselves. Really lovely video, adore your channel! 💕💕 you are super inspiring
yes but the people who click on this video had the same mind as the video.
Ya it depends honestly but I think the same my wardrobe is mixed some things are expensive some are affordable but ya not cheap because it's uncomfortable and doesn't last long .
And always about attitude , confidence , hair .
I'm 16 yrs old nd i love this style😭 simple plus classy plus on budget♡
Literally every people around me, my frnds, strangers.i rarely see ppl dressing classy/elegantly so I'mma try this style
Cuz i don't wanna follow the crowd
Just wanna be unique plus look expensive♡
This is the video I am going to use for students trying to get into the airline industry. Good grooming, presentation and polish. Lydia is young and influential, but natural and down to earth… she will go down a storm, thanks Lydia
Love love love. Now that I'm 55, I couldn't understand this oversize looks but now - thanks to you - I can! Thank you!
Wow from 3 years ago, still on classics, loving it, I’ve wearing a similar wardrobe.
This is the first time I watched your video & I instantly fall in love with your all black outfit. Please show more black collection of yours.. 🤩
Great video as always! I have the UNIQLO in orange n ivory, Lululemon in green, red and black. I really love the lululemon red n black because i managed to snatch the ones with the limited edition lululemon embossed strap. N yes u r right, though speedy B25 been around for awhile, it really holds during the winter or summer. Love my speedy b25 too! Now that u mentioned, i may wanna buy the PU UNIQLO black They actually have it on COPYMAXY . Even more cheap. Another thing i agree with u ...backpack during holidays is worrisome. That's why my mcm backpack is seriously under utilised now Have a great day dear!
I love these elegant and minimal styles and I really enjoyed the video♥
However I have to disagree on buying everything oversized. I was kind of into buying things oversized for a while, then I discovered that it doesn't look great on my body because I had a petite figure with less defined shoulders and hips and the clothes just slouched all over the place and I looked like I had clothes handed down to me by older sisters and brothers. The oversized look definitely looks chic on taller women or women with well defined figures, however I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially those with petite figures.
Yes totally agree with what you’re saying. What I mean by this is things that aren’t very tight and nipped in. I think a regular fit shirt looks more modern and fresh than a very tight fitting shirt which can be dated. Definitely agree with you though!
I agree with you about that. I’m petite as well and oversized clothes can look frumpy. As Lydia said in her reply, it’s better to avoid tight clothing. I’m not convinced about the oversized jacket either. I do think women with broad shoulders can get away with that look but I know it wouldn’t work for me.
I Agree,Oversized Clothes Look Rediculouse on Petite Figues.I am 5ft 1/2 in.
Hi.. I want to let y’all know that Jesus Loves you. I’m not trying to do anything negative here, but I used to have terrible mental health problems and I want to let y’all know that they went away when I got to know Jesus, they went away. I Love y’all and I promise that He Loves you too. You are very Loved. You can go to Him and be saved. You can read His word and talk to Him. He hears. We’ve gotta have enough discipline to read and Study what He said in His Word. He is my everything. Jesus Loves you. I’m not joking and I’m not trying to “shove religion down your throat” I want to come out and say it because The Holy Bible tells us to share The Gospel. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t tell people that they can fill that empty void in them? God saved me. I used to struggle with TERRIBLE mental health. GOD revealed HIMSELF to me through HIS word and The Presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT. I now am free. I used to think that I would never be cured and it seemed crazy to think that there were actually people who don’t have these problems. Freedom from ocd sounded like I dream. I thought having a slim body and a boyfriend would fill the empty void inside me that felt like it was taking over. It didn’t. I just kept wanting to be skinnier and kept wanting more people to like me. Now I know GOD and have so much JOY and PEACE (yes, real PEACE) that I want everyone else to have it. So please, talk to GOD, ask HIM to show you HIS presence, HIS word. Jesus is The Only way to The Father. We have to believe HIM. Not just believe that He exists, but believe in who we KNOW HE IS. We have to know HIM. The Holy Bible says that Jesus is The Truth. It also says that The TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. I’m a living witness. Many people say that they feel uncomfortable when we talk about The Truth. It’s called conviction and we are supposed to feel it. Also, demons hate when you know GOD so they give you so many desires not to know HIM. but GOD is against them. GOD LOVES you. The Holy Bible says that GOD IS LOVE.

Whatever makes me feel pulled together and chic works for me. Straight, wavy, curly. Fantastic video for EVERYONE!
"make sure your hair is sleek and smooth"
*laughs in curly hair*
Same girl ..that was my first thought 😂
Same here 🤣
Mine too though Im not curly. Just smh
My 4c hair 😂😂😭😭😭
We won't go hair , I mean there😅
can't wear blazers in my country! please do a non blazer lookbook/video for hot countries !
😲😲😲CANT WEAR BLAZERS IN YOUR COUNTRY??YOU NEED TO MOVE!
May I ask why they aren't allowed & perhaps what's your country? I'm genuinely curious.
@@Polyxeniism I live in India, it's not like they aren't allowed lol, you'd melt in it...the lowest temp of the year in my city is probably 25 degree like for a day or two in dec :p
@@summerbreeze340 lol when i said can't wear , it's not a legal thing LOL just too hot omg
@@ayeshab7696 ohhhh I see, my understanding was that they aren't allowed lol ok thanks for the info💓
Just your usual sophisticated and lovely self! ❤️ Excellent tips for everyone that are easy to employ. One thing I’ve always done is never return an item to my wardrobe if it was just worn. I make sure it is freshened, pressed or whatever so there are no surprises if I quickly choose to wear it again. Just keep being you!

Thanks for this video! Been following your IG and YT for a while now, just want to chime in to say you know yourself and express your personal style very well. Kudos for putting together this excellent list of tips. Here's my interpretation of your tips, applying towards myself (Asian, almost 50, 5'3", medium frame, short legs/long torso):
1. 100% agree on hair/nails/makeup. Sign of having spent a tiny bit of effort = good self-care = messaging to the world you're confident even if you're having a blah day. Fake it till you make it, etc.
2. Find your own black. Black's not necessarily the most flattering for all skin tones, ages, time of year, etc. My black happens to be navy for example.
3. Shirts. Love the idea of an oversized shirt, but I can upsize maybe 1 size up? Any more than that, I'd be swamped as I'm not very tall. But 100% agree on ironing out all the wrinkles. Bonus points of wearing a button front shirt? The collar and placket adds structure to your appearance. I always feel 5lbs lighter wearing a shirt vs. a stretchy top.
4. Neutrals/solids/tonal dressing. Totally. You can still incorporate interest via a striped or small patterned top or scarf.
5. Materials/Fabrics. As I've gotten older, I've become a bigger believer in natural materials and fabrics. I have paid for and received good repairs on natural leathers, linens, woolens, etc. Much more sustainable than with PVC/polyester/acrylics. Your upfront investments will yield long term dividends.
6. Blazers - on topic of fit, slouchy is very of the moment, slightly loose is middle of the road and a bit more timeless. I have only just begun thinking about replacing 3 blazers that I've had for almost 10 years because they look a little tight on me now (middle age creeping on...) If I were to buy a boyfriend fit blazer, I'm sure I'll tired of it in 2 years' time.
7. Too tight/bad fit - yep, fit really matters. Not just in terms of tightness, but in how the lines of the garment follow your body, how long your sleeves/pant legs fall, even the width of a cuff. Find a good tailor and invest in that relationship.
8. Jewelry/accessories - love your bling! totally worthwhile to put away some savings and invest in good pieces that will last. I was fortunate in being gifted a very good everyday watch for my uni graduation. I still wear it almost every day.
Phew! Sorry for the long post. Your vid just really resonated with me. Keep posting these! Love your work!!
haha love your response and great that you can share your ideas too! Totally agree, it's all about adapting these things to your own style and body. Not everything works for everyone but this is a general rule of thumb! Thanks for your message!

I wish you had shed little light in classy shoes. I try to dress elegant and shoes always give me hard time because it's so difficult to find quality shoes in budget. On top of all this, finding classy shoes is becoming so harder in general...either you get too casual sneakers or too dressed up 6 inches heels. I am updating my wardrobe, if you can give some suggestions...
Poshmark!
Look out for sales on macys for example. Clarks shoes have very proper and comfortable flats. Another tip is you can make a classic low heel bootie shoe look well with many outfits.
Nude and black flats or low heels. Or white.
White or beige tie up espadrilles look classy and can be worn comfortably too. I prefer them in wedges with dresses or skirts.
nude or black block heel!
I love this video, such simple ideas that make so much difference. If possible, could you make one of this days a video on crucial pieces to have on a wardrobe to dress classy and formal to the office but at the same time not wearing a suit all the time. Thank you very much
I’ve never been so grateful to TH-cam for a recommendation! Instant sub and binge watching. Nice to meet you Lydia :)
loveeee your channel! Just found it and obsessed. I've never really considered my personal style but am now suddenly really looking into who I am with my style so you've helped me sort this!
that's so kind of you to say! Thank you!
girl YT recommanded this vd to me and when i clicked im instantly shocked cos i think we got the same vibes and style and way of thinking ; like im very happy that i found smn like you keep it up u r amazing
This is so good! I’ve been slowly changing my style and wardrobe and this is exactly what I want 😍

Great content. Love most except that it doesn’t acknowledge different body types. With my pear shaped heavy bottom body I feel I can’t wear loose all throughout because I would look super big and for my body accentuating my waist and hips works better.
this 'all black' won't suit everybody. I look sick in black until I put a lot of make up on. And by 'a lot' I mean A LOT.
In my opinion blondes always look good in black because of the contrast.
@@MGyoutube307 I am very pale blond. Believe me. I have to put a lot of make up on, because suddenly my undereyes look darker, I look sickly paler etc.
Instead of black, (you might be cool toned), I’d recommend using brown or gray as your neutral.
@@Myrika005 mine is navy. This is what makes me look healthy and radiant.
I agree.. I am browned skin and really thin. If I wear all black, I'd looked the thinnest. Lol
easier steam hack: if you take really hot showers, find a place in the bathroom to hang your shirt or pants and let the steam from the hot shower help with wrinkles. I use this when I'm getting ready to go out and don't have the time to get out the small wrinkles and dig out the iron.
Great tip!
I tried this..didn't work for me . I still take a steamer or iron to my clothes
@@HosCreates guess it depends on the material and amount of heat from the steam
Genius
I think that it's important to said that every one had a body type and if u don't feel good with this kind of style it is not because u are fat or ugly or whatever. U are just u and different and incredible!
Awesome tips. Black goes good with blond and young. What is a suggestion for middle aged people with brown or black hair?
Looking chic and polished, just feels so good! I completely agree with paying attention to the details too. Thanks for sharing 😘!
Waht color Is this polish? Thanks
Aminta Lamas She’s listed it in the description box as one from Barry M 😄. There are so many amazing neutral and classic colored polishes out there that I think it’s also fun to experiment and see what suits you. 😘😘

Wow, you have BEAUTIFUL silky, shiny, smooth, healthy hair! 😍😍😍😍😍
This was a great video, thank you!. I have ginger hair and very pale skin, so I tend to wear navy rather than black as black can be quite a draining colour for us redheads. Also, Johnson and Johnson do a spray-on conditioner for kids, that works very well to help create a sleek look for your hair: I use it after blow-drying my hair straight to help with heat damage.
Hello, fellow ginger! I agree with you about navy.
Are you talking about J&J's detailer? Or is there another leave in?
Lydia ty for sharing! I suggest pulling your rack away from the wall and you stepping forward 5 feet forward closer to a window light, as well cross lighting clothes, as well away from the wall. you will be away from the artwork on wall creating better back drop /you will be able to hear you better -better presentation you’re so pretty OK
I’m working on being a court interpreter so a lot of these tips were super helpful for when I start! Thank you (:
I love seeing this young lady look so sophisticated and she shows how effortless it is. Classic. There is so much crap out there and don't know who to blame really, i guess the younger designers because they do dictate on what to wear. Not every woman has a limo driver to drive her everywhere and she can be seen wearing a naked dress to an event. This is not realistic to the average woman who has to take the bus/subway. Bravo to you Lydia, these clothes never go out of style and they are functional. By the way love that necklace.
The gap has good linen shirts for a budget. I've found some on clearance sale, so I paid under $10 for $60-$75 shirts
Lidia is very nice that you share all this knowledge every time ,I really enjoy , every time I learning more THANKS
this is my goal to dress classy, elegant, and feminine when i’m older. i’m 14 and i want to dress like this already, i just need a job to buy what i desire.
I have naturally wavy hair. I think any hair type can be chic and classy so long as it's well cut and clean.
Has anybody told you that you look a lot like Dakota Fanning? or is it just me?
She looks like Dakota fanning and sounds like sophie turner 😍
She also looks like Anne Marie
Yes i could see the similarities a bit
When she smiles reminds me to a younger Britney ❤️ all beautiful women
Looks expensive and chic! Pairs well with everything. Tons of compliments!! Great piece to add to your collection!! *COPYMAXY*
The more simple you go the classier u will look . Elegant look requires one to two colours
My friends used to tell me I dress "too much like a 'richie" to complain if I ever get mugged and that made me stop using gold jewerly or long coats lmao. I'll take those tips and dress some of them down to fit my current living situation
lmao I'd love to look Richie what's wrong with that ?
I watched this video, then went into my closet(s) and sold so many things on Poshmark. I kept all of the neutral, classic things.
People when I was in highschool: *Won't talk to me or makes fun of me because I wear all black*
Those same people now: "Omg yas all black is my fave he he he It's like all I wear"
Similar thing happened to me
You do understand the difference between a black swearshirt, black denim skirt and black net stockings versus black cotton pantsuit right?
I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm making assumptions about your highschool wardrobe. I don't mean to. Just stating the obvious that the color can only go so far in effect the overall look of the outfit.
@@dinakleper8076 Yes, I do...but what does this have to do with anything?
@@Mindofliz Because... usually when people talk about wearing only black on highschool they refer to an emo-stage. So the people mocking them for it didn't 'come around' about black clothes... the color was not what they were laughing at.
And again, I didn't mean to assume anything about you/your wardrobe (and bullying is wrong eitherway). Just some observation... I'm sorry if it offended you.
@@dinakleper8076 Ah, true. I wasn't talking about you in this comment lo I was talking about like the new "grunge" phase that has appeared where girls are wearing pretty much the same thing as people wore in middle school except now it's "cool" with like, oversized thrasher sweatshirts and chunky black boots and black eyeliner, baggy pants, etc.
Lydia, where did you get tht necklace from ? Its awesome
I love this video! I feel I need slightly slimmer cuts of blazers and tops. I’m curvy and big, blousy , body items just add pounds. So princess fit or darts and no excess fabric are crucial to my put together look.
you missed the link for your necklace in the description !! where can I get a similar one from?
Could you please do your every day makeup tutorial or fav makeup products video ? You’re always gorgeous !
This was great! Clothes being wrinkle free always helps. All really sleek looks 😀
Hi.. I want to let y’all know that Jesus Loves you. I’m not trying to do anything negative here, but I used to have terrible mental health problems and I want to let y’all know that they went away when I got to know Jesus, they went away. I Love y’all and I promise that He Loves you too. You are very Loved. You can go to Him and be saved. You can read His word and talk to Him. He hears. We’ve gotta have enough discipline to read and Study what He said in His Word. He is my everything. Jesus Loves you. I’m not joking and I’m not trying to “shove religion down your throat” I want to come out and say it because The Holy Bible tells us to share The Gospel. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t tell people that they can fill that empty void in them? God saved me. I used to struggle with TERRIBLE mental health. GOD revealed HIMSELF to me through HIS word and The Presence of THE HOLY SPIRIT. I now am free. I used to think that I would never be cured and it seemed crazy to think that there were actually people who don’t have these problems. Freedom from ocd sounded like I dream. I thought having a slim body and a boyfriend would fill the empty void inside me that felt like it was taking over. It didn’t. I just kept wanting to be skinnier and kept wanting more people to like me. Now I know GOD and have so much JOY and PEACE (yes, real PEACE) that I want everyone else to have it. So please, talk to GOD, ask HIM to show you HIS presence, HIS word. Jesus is The Only way to The Father. We have to believe HIM. Not just believe that He exists, but believe in who we KNOW HE IS. We have to know HIM. The Holy Bible says that Jesus is The Truth. It also says that The TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. I’m a living witness. Many people say that they feel uncomfortable when we talk about The Truth. It’s called conviction and we are supposed to feel it. Also, demons hate when you know GOD so they give you so many desires not to know HIM. but GOD is against them. GOD LOVES you. The Holy Bible says that GOD IS LOVE.
John 8:32
“and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Everybody is searching for The Answer. I know what The Answer is. The Answer is JESUS. God is the meaning of Life.

Philippians 3
Ezekiel 33:8-9 When I say to the wicked, ‘You wicked person, you will certainly die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked about his way, that wicked person shall die for his wrongdoing, but I will require his blood from your hand. But if you on your part warn a wicked person to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die for his wrongdoing, but you have saved your life.

I feel like because her shape is VERY slim , I would be conscious of your own body shape , I'm very hourglass figure for example. So I would need to cinch in my waist some to avoid looking like a big square. It's very easy for more of a slim / athletic to do oversized. But for ladies with shapes be aware of your overall silhouette the outfit creates for you 💞 love this content though x
Yes, agreed. I'm not very slim either, and I feel like oversized generally is a really bad option for me.
Everything except the hair is doable for me. Hair straightening for wavy hair like mine has proved disastrous. Unless you have hair, how will you style it? You lose so much hair with chemical straightening. I've kinda made peace with this and decided to keep my waves. They actually look natural, make me look younger and give me an effortless style.
I also have tefal steamer at home, i feel grateful that i bought it
Nice video. Ive seen many of these videos and it looks like looking expensive means not wearing colors, only neutrals, loose clothes, minimal makeup, and sleek hair? Colors are beautiful and variety.
Yesss I love color!!
Yes, gold or silver dainty jewelry always goes a long way. Love the video.
First of all, you look completely stunning in this vid😍😍😍
I start my counseling practicum (basically an internship) this week and I think this will be my work aesthetic 🖤 I have tattoos so it’s long sleeves every day for me so might as well have fun with it
Fantastic ideas-much appreciated!
Now if I could only find the time to implement them between working, working working and helping to look after 2 very active grandchildren-oh and the cat and the husband and friends and family and going out....
I live in the tropics, would love videos on lighter, breathable outfits built for humidity and bathing suits🙏🏽❤ love your stuff
I adore your black outfit and the off-white jeans with the camel Zara blazers 😍
i just adore classy style. Beige jackets....not Skinny jeans or Jeans in general. i just love them
Good tips plus even if no one notices we feel better so we act with more confidence. Thank you!
exactly!! All about feeling good about yourself first!
❤️
The Florist…🌹
I love the necklace! Do you have a link for where to buy the golden necklace?
I wish you make your make a tutorial video about your look right now! Ur make up looks amazing girl
Good outfits+shoes❣️
The only make i do is mascara and eyeliner
And since i have to cover my face with a facemask....i don't worry about makeup at all
Thanks. I buy clothes shoes and bag at the thrift shop.. people who don't know me think I'm rich but my wardrobe costs less than my husband's knickers.. it really doesn't matter if you don't have money.
I want to look rich not because I want to look down on poor people. I just want to express my inner wealth even if I'm making ends meet. You don't have to sacrifice your budget for necessities buying expensive stuffs just so you can impress others. You can look classy even if you're dirt poor. Just know where and when you can buy great stuffs at a bargain.
Absolutely love this video. Super helpful! It’s hard to pinpoint what I’m doing wrong when I have all but one component of a perfect outfit.
aw good to hear! Thank you! x

I have that steamer, yes I can vouch for it too.
I watched this video last night and since then I can’t stop thinking about this black outfit of yours😍 it’s too classy to get out of my mind
Neha Soni haha love that 🙈 thank you!!!
I love your style and I really appreciate your videos. They’ve made a huge difference in my relationship with my wardrobe. Do you ever sell gently used items from your closet? I try to buy second hand items when possible especially for high quality staples. I’m about your size and I’d love to shop the items you rotate out of your collection!
I love your sense of style! 💖
I always like to watch other woman who look classy and polished. It made me do some effort to look like them🥰😁
Great style advice Lydia...totally agree with you...less is definitely more! You always look polished and really stylish x x
aw I'm glad you liked it! Thank you! xxx
Please share the name of the eyeshadow you’re wearing, it’s gorgeous🤩✨
Thank you for the video! I bought the Bobbi Brown Sweet Talk gloss and it's perfect!!
You are so Good!!! Thanks 👍👌for your great advice!!! I don't know how I ever did without you! Lol!!!
hey girl, i really like your ideas but where can i but some quality clothes like yours?
i bought all my clothes at babyorlady.com and i think everyone should give them a try, best quality clothes i had so far :)
There is a German brand (don’t know if they ship worldwide) called Hallhuber that sells really classy, beautiful and feminine clothes for an acceptable price. They have beautiful fabrics such as cashmere, alpaca wool and silk.
I stalk the Aritzia sale section. I've got $128 virgin wool and cashmere skirts for $30 and a virgin wool and cashmere winter coat for $175 that was originally nearly $500. It helps to buy out of season so I bought the winter coat in July. focusing on natural fabrics is also a good way to always look expensive, they keep nicer and last longer.
I love all your tips however a better option for fly away hairs can be found in the Black hair care section. Every black woman can tell you how to tame those. I learned a lot working out of a black hair saloon for a few weeks while doing a hair car research study.
Also any tips for larger women?
