Unpopular opinion…Quiet luxury is not really a trend and has been around for decades. Someone on the internet coined the term to differentiate it from the more ostentatious or outwardly flaunting of labels or wealth. In fact, most of the true quiet luxury probably isn’t seen on social media where luxury (or anything) is rarely quiet.😂
This was going to be my exact comment! Quiet luxury is classy- am I the only one that thinks showy logos are tacky? If you actually have money, you don't wear that. That was created for people who want others to think they have money.
@@cateivy9747 that’s why the cheapest Louis Vuitton are the ones with the logo all over. I don’t care, because I like the neverfull and it’s classic. But it’s true logos are for people who want others to think they’re rich.
People with real money don’t flash the cash , they don’t care , they have nothing to prove , especially if it’s old money, you wouldn’t even know ,especially in Europe and the uk.
The difference is "money" times are hard and women want to still look nice but don't want to spend the money, especially single Mothers. Spending excessively these days to them is being wasteful when they have kids to raise and groceries are at an all time high! I think the quiet luxury is a way of keeping the look and saving the money.
Well said! I don’t follow trends anyway I want to look nice and comfortable! I have found awesome clothes at the thrift stores and I’ve got so many compliments! It is wasteful to spend thousands of dollars on one pair of shoes when there are starving children in this country! Love you comment! 🥰
@@donnawashburn1638 I’m wearing a complete outfit from a thrift store today! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had a compliment on it! Also I recently wore something that I literally got dirt cheap at an end of the summer sale about 4 years ago. When I wore it two weeks ago, people were bowled over when I confided in where it came from! Then I have tank tops and sun glasses that cost more than a whole outfit I wore another time!
The older I get the more I’m interested in quality and classic pieces. I actually hate the word “classy.” Too many variables. It’s more about kindness, manners and how someone treats people. Someone could be dressed head to toe in designer clothes but if they aren’t kind it all doesn’t matter.
Your words are the definition of classy. Wealth and designer labels have nothing to do with class. It’s taking the best care of your self, you can, living with dignity, treating others with kindness and having manners. Those traits will get you so much further than flashy, expensive labels.
This is only an internet thing. Nobody in real life cares about loud or quiet or whatever lol. It’s important to touch grass sometimes and remember what reality is and not be so worked-up
I owned a boutique for many years and when folks would see me out, they always assumed I had on some high end designer piece. The funniest time was when I was out of town, totally unplanned without clothes so had to go to the only open store in that town (Rue 21??). When I met people (bunch of prestigious snobs) out for dinner, in my $29 dress, they all thought it was some damn Gucci dress!😂😂😂😂. This is a true story that just goes to show how people do try to judge by a cover and they couldn’t be more wrong!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Everyone’s individuality and authenticity is what makes life interesting. One can look classy with vibrant colors and with flair as long as they reflect their own style. How sad to think people are being persuaded to tone down there personal style, much like our society is telling us to tone down our own personal opinion. Viva la difference!!!
Carolyn Bissette Kennedy comes to mind. Her style always stood out to me. I think you’re right. We should all dress (and live) in a way that makes us happy.
I think there's a big difference in the mentality of new money vs. old money. New money loves labels, old money looks down on anything ostentatious. None of it matters to me--just do what you like!
Both my parents are from generational wealth and I remember I made friends with this girl. Her mom didn’t have any college education and her dad was a construction worker that owned a company. That company was doing quite well. They clearly had a middle class background. I was in 6th grade. My parents tried to do things as couples/ families but my dad said they were not on the same level. Dad said we were “old money” and they were “new money” and my dad was annoyed by them. After a while Stacy started to annoy me and I quietly stopped being her friend. It got super weird at the country Club and school but… The new money v old money is a REAL thing.
Quiet luxury isn’t about looking stylish. It’s about looking rich. But no matter how you dress, you can’t trick people into think you’re rich if you don’t have multiple homes and business and private plans and a lofty social network. And who cares. Who needs that? Who are you trying to fool?
I’m not wealthy but I can say I don’t like logos all over an outfit. I do buy quality pieces and material is very important to me. Also, I don’t like giving free advertising to expensive brands.😂😂😂😂
I don’t really consume fashion content (I’m a surgeon so I basically wear scrubs everyday) but TH-cam suggested your video to me and I just had to stay and leave a comment to say I just love who you are as a person. It just radiates through the screen! You were so authentic, genuine, classy, and just everything I love and a good southern women. Thank you for being some joy in my day. I hope you have a blessed day also! I definitely think I’ll check out future videos of yours.
Welcome! I am a 55 year old retired retail executive, I discovered Lisa eight years ago. Lisa is without a doubt one of the most authentic, kind, funny and incredibly intelligent women Ive had the great pleasure to meet over the years on social media. When she deciedes shes interested in a topic she somehow gains an encylopedic level knowledge around that topic which I immdiately was drawn too, well that and her very open love for her parents, her husband, her children and God. I hope when you have some time you maybe take a look around her massive library of videos, while she is definitly known for her Friday hauls of beauty and fashion the true Lisa is the smart badass who doesnt have to shout from the tree tops how smart she is, come to think of it...instead of "quiet luxury", Lisa is "quiet intelligence".
I love when you said you have to protect your peace. I listened yesterday to this video and that really resinated with me. I am going to protect my peace. Thanks, Lisa. You are a light.
I wouldn’t probably recognize a designer handbag if it bit me, but I do like to look as good & put together as I can afford. I think “classy” or perhaps any other style is in the eye of the beholder. I’ve actually never heard the term “quiet luxury”, but I say to each his own. Like my grandmother always said, “pretty is as pretty does”. I think kind, open minded, open hearted people are probably pretty classy❤️
This makes me think of the style icon Iris Apfel. A wealthy woman who embraces with gusto the bold, fun style that she loves but also exudes class and kindness. 💖 She always says we should dress for ourselves and wear what makes us happy 🙂
Fashion is so much fun, who wants to be quiet about it? (if you love fashion) Give me frills and feathers any day, I often wish I could wear a wedding hat/fascinator to a supermarket 🤣🤣🤣but I am not brave enough, where I live no one dresses up and I often feel overdressed. I would say that my mum is "lauder" in her fashion than me and at 72 she would not be seen dead in something understated lol she probably has more clothes than me. xox Nisha
Lisa my my mother was in her 20s in the 1940s living in NYC. She only wore dresses and usually with a hat and gloves. She always said, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look nice.
I have a few of the brands. The quality is what makes you look rich. The clothes hang in flattering ways, the fabrics are sensuous, the colours subtle and rich. Lining where needed to smooth the outline and well sewn seams, more shaping with darts. It all makes you look like a super model.
Life is short, I personally don’t care about these types of things that go around. I think as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized it just doesn’t matter. Everyone should do what makes them feel good and be happy with who they are. We are all different and what’s important to one person, may not be to another. I think the most beautiful thing in a person isn’t what they choose to wear, but how they treat others. Lisa your style is you and you do it so well. Stay true to who you are and that’s all that matters. That’s why I always come back, because of who you are on the inside, the rest is just a nice bonus. 💜 Thank you for sharing this, it was interesting and fun.🌸💕
You said it so beautifully and with grace ! You are classy and honest and those qualities are rare to see . It doesn't matter how much money is in the bank account, the way how you act will tell how rich you are . Love you, soul sister ❤️
🧡💜❤️ Enjoyed this video. Thank you. I’m 72 years of age and am trendy. I love high end, old money style, bohoho and classic. I love clothing. It’s Art, is it not? ❤️💜🧡
I have been in fashion for most of my adult life, over 25 years witth another 8 focusing on a broader range of retailers and systems. I was a private shopper as a side hustle in my 30's when I was also a Dr. in a fashion company. I have always loved fashion and beauty. I grrew up fairly poor in a small farming town with only the Sears catelogue to shop from, I was overweight my entire childhood so most of my clothes my Mom made. In the summer between grade 8 and 9 I lost a fair bit of weight, I could finally wear a regular size large or a 12/14. There was one small boutique in the town where my Mother was the Librarian and I went to school. By then I worked every night, after school, all weekend, and the entire summer, so I had a good amount of money saved up. I will never ever forget the night my Mom picked me up from my job and said that Susan, the shop owner, had agreed that my Mom and I could go in and have a look after hours. I was thrilled. I remember crying in the change room as for the first time in my life I was putting on clothes that some of the "in girls" in my school where wearing. This was the 70's and Hang Ten was all the range. I remember getting a Hang Ten short set in purple, mauve matching Nike running shoes and several other things. I was over joyed. The first day of grade 9 was the first time in about 6 years I didnt have a cold sore on the 1st day of school. I developed those very young due to such high anxiety about returning to school. Fashion and our personal relationship with clothes, what and how we choose to dress is extremley personal, for a thousand reasons why. I've just shared a tiny snippet of why I have such a love affair with fashion, shopping, taking so much time and care to pick out things that make ME feel my best, not someone else, ME. The women that I did personal shopping for where Lawyers, one was a Judge and two were doctors, they despised shopping, absolutely despised it, they had very different relationships with their clothes and again, for their own personal reasons, one I will share with you. Despite being a brilliant woman who graduated top of her class and is in the top of her field she was bullied mercilessly in school for her looks, her style. She never really got over that. Clothes to her do not bring her any joy what so ever, she is so much more comfortable in the uniform required to do her job, but hey...she has to wear something, so enter a personal stylist and shopper, me. We all have a different and unique relationship with clothing and makeup and how we look, and how we feel the most comfortable in our own skin. The richest people in the world may not have any confidence in their looks, despite being able to own their own island and many homes etc. It is short sighted for anyone to think that the most wealthy people in this world have so much confidence they just want to wear "quiet" styles. Wrong. Many dress that way because in reality, all the money in the world cannot fix a lifetime of being told you are not attractive or you are not smart or you will never make it on your own. This nonsense about quiet luxury is just that, nonsense. It is just one more made up term to throw around social media, new fodder for those who think they are to good to wear a visable label and to be insufferably ostentacious about it while throwing around "quiet luxury" as some sort of superiority complex, its ridicilous and laughable. If a person have to get on social media to look down on anyone for how they choose to dress or wear their makeup, then that person needs to check the mirror. Real class is knowing when and how to keep "inside thoughts" inside, people who were either taught how to be "classy" as children or learned it along the way, already know this. Being kind is the common denominator that knows no wealth boundaries. The wealthiest people in this world are some of the most classless and some of the most empoverishd have it to spare. Thanks for coming to my unintended by not unispired, Ted Talk on the fake "quiet luxury" and what class really is, which is kindness, which costs not a single solitary cent.
I am sick, sick, sick of "quiet luxury"! I have had decades of the corporate world, void of personality, void of expression, void of color, peoples homes looking the same as they dress, beige everywhere as if there are NO other colors in the world; everyone in black as if they are going to a funeral, it's BORING, DULL, LIFELESS. Bring on the Boho, bring on the color, patterns and charm, bring on vivaciousness. Women use to dress as beautiful flowers now most of them just look like they rolled out of bed OR they are wearing a corporate uniform. I love your style Lisa, keep it up, you are an inspiration. The wealthiest women wear colorful trendy clothes, they don't dress to please others or their boss, they dress to please themselves cause they are BOSS, they are their own woman! You can dress your best when nobody RULES over you. Luv ya, Lisa!
I love that your style personality is so varied and broad and that you own it. Their is nothing wrong with being trendy! You are so right it’s just another style, just like minimalism- neither is better than the other. It’s just what feels good and fun for you.
I love “protect my peace”. I had to do this not long ago after a woman said unkind gossipy things about me. I had to just get myself far away I just didn’t know what to call it. Thank you Lisa. You are so kind. I love these talks. Hugs to the kitties. Jana - Texas
I agree with you, fashion and beauty is creative and fun. I watch your channel because of you. I have days when I get really down and I am so glad I can turn your video on. You are so bright, happy, funny, sweet and kind. I always feel better. Thank you!😊
I honestly shop about 90% vintage. It’s well made, it’s fashionable (just look at Daisy Jones and the Six. I like Camila’s style.), it’s ecologically responsible and it CAN be cheaper (but I have even found Gucci and Halston for only a few hundred dollars. I usually top out at like $75 though if it’s a whole outfit, likes dress or jumpsuit).
Lisa, I keep forgetting to tell you how very much I appreciate you mentioning fabrics, feel, etc. It’s very important to me and glad you notice/mention it often. This sets you apart from others I watch. Thx u!!
Your sweet, gentle spirit comes across in all your videos. Thanks for being you and sharing your thoughts, opinions, and style. You are a blessing to those who watch.
I guess I was wrong with my take on quiet luxury. I thought it was like my chandeliers and furniture. I don’t have many people over because I’m private but I have those expensive things because they make me happy. I don’t tell people how much they cost. Or, my expensive perfume I spray and no one knows I paid a lot for it. When I dress like a bum at home in my ridiculously expensive sweats. No one sees me. No one knows how much they cost. But the fabric is amazing so I enjoy them.
Appreciate you're vulnerability in your post. And you're right. We ebb and flow from styles based on so many factors. It's one of the things that makes women so awesome in my opinion. Be it quiet luxury, punk, southwest, boho, rockabilly, 50's glam, coastal grandma, what have you....These are all fun tools in our kit to help us express ourselves in any given moment or mood.
Amen Lisa!! I understand the concept of quiet luxury...and I wish people well in whatever statement they wish to make....as long as it doesn't disclude someone else. And.. I fear on some cases, this aesthetic does when touted by certain individuals. I applauded when you referenced being kind and classy and "quiet luxury" INSIDE. Treat people with grace and respect. I too get conflicted with the quiet luxury issue as I am also a creative person and just like what i like..especially at 52 years young. Keep up the FABULOUS content. ❤❤❤❤❤
No, thank you Lisa. Thank you for being YOU! I have so much to say about the subject of this video…and it’s not about quiet luxury. We each should be and do and look exactly how we want to look and not be told in videos how not to look “frumpy” or “old” or our hair is too long. Uugg! If I did not truly know who I am and saw a video on how to not look frumpy, my first thought could be …uh oh…maybe I’m frumpy. I’m emailing you. I have so much more to say. Again, thank you. Patti 🌷🍃
FAXXX about nasty attitudes & classless personalities. Working in health care I get to experience people at their most vulnerable, old money/quiet luxury folks serve the most dishonest & insecure lives.
You are so articulate in how you speak. I love it. 🥰 All very good points, and all things I have thought, but you just made it make sense. I was also raised middle class. I have never thought negatively about money. For me, I strive to always work hard and make more. It makes me feel good. I get bored if I am not working. No matter what it is. Whether at home cleaning or putting items on Poshmark, or going into the office to work. I love making money. My friends have different opinions about it, but that speaks to their experiences. I do not let it affect me. To each their own.
I love how you mention to protect yourself it is very wise to guard our hearts. It all starts inside.❤ thank you for your wisdom. Very refreshing video clip. 🎉
Great Video - I honestly think there are people who lack self identity and perhaps have low self-esteem which makes them cling onto any and every trend or image they feel adds to their self-worth and value. "If I appear rich, maybe people will value me." Personally, I love colour! Red, Yellow, Orange, Metallics - I love it all and it looks fantastic against my skin tone. As much as I live for a black monochrome outfit, I am not doing myself any justice wearing muted colours around the clock. The concept of quiet luxury is ridiculous in itself because those who know the brand will recognise it without logos or branded prints, and I say this as someone who went to private school and rubbed shoulders with people from wealthy backgrounds. They also wear "loud" luxury clothes or none at all. Barbour and Ralph Lauren is as luxury as it gets for some. Members of the royal family have been known to wear branded clothing and accessories - The Lady Dior bag was named after Princess Diana and has a noisy keychain attached to it - hardly quiet.
It's plain and simple. You're a fashionista! You are who you are and you're happy with that and it shows. That's the goal. Being happy in what you wear and not caring too much of others opinions. ❤
I loved this video! You said something in a previous video that was a lightbulb moment for me. You said that no matter what someone tells you looks great on you and that you “should” wear, always wear what makes you feel the most like “you”. Wear what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. That comment stuck with me and has given me the confidence to stay true to myself and what I like. This video was kind of like that. We can play with fashion and have fun, but it has to make us feel good or it’s not worth it. We can follow trends but shouldn’t feel less than if those trends are just not for us. Thanks so much for putting into words and having a conversation about what so many of us are thinking! Love this channel!
I’ve learned in my life to be true to ME…. I wear what makes ME feel beautiful. What others think of me is not my business ~ however my joy is my business. There’s no joy in trying to please others when it goes against my true self. I choose ME.
“I’m always the same person….” Gosh I just love you to death💕💕💕 I’ve been watching you forever and I just love your videos. And it’s true… you’ve always stayed true to who you are💕💕💕
The mindset changed so much due to social media and celebrity in my opinion…imitating the style of the latest Tik Tok trend which at the moment is “quiet luxury “ tomorrow it could be something totally different! Most wealthy have clothes personally tailored not purchasing on line or shopping in department stores because as you stated the quality of fabric and the fit are of the upmost importance! I think as individuals especially of our generation we are going to dress exactly as you stated with what makes us feel good whether it’s trendy neutral or a mix of both and I think that as long as your clothes are clean pressed and you feel confident and comfortable wearing them then your going to feel luxurious no matter what label is in your collar😘
Hi Lisa! Love love love.. your videos. Everyday I look forward to your videos, it’s not a secret you are my number 1. My #2 is Monroe Steele. My mom says she misses working because she got to dress up. Now that she is in Dialysis she dresses up and puts on different perfumes, and she says I’m going to work.😊that keeps her motivated and she makes friends. All woman need to feel the fashion vibe and be able to talk about it. Her and I talk about fashion a lot over the phone; she is in WI and I’m in PR🤭. Me I’m 56 have multiple sclerosis and arthritis so I dress up to go to gym and to my appointments and to church. I’m thinking about dressing up to be at home. When I go to the stores many people ask for my opinion on makeup, skin care, fashion style, religion and health. Oh I watch Kaye she dupes everyone’s style and I wish she would do it more often. But your idea of having all of us talk about Fashion is a terrific idea, at least once or twice a month.
Thank you for sharing, I truly appreciate your discussion videos and sharing with us your authentic self! Each season of our lives is a learning curve and comes with new discoveries. I am learning to be my authentic self and it’s being noticed by those around me. There will always be fad terms like “quiet luxury.” However, no matter what is “in” we should be raising each other up, no mater what style choices one makes. Like the saying goes “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”
I have been thrifting since I was a child and wearing handmade clothing. The best advice my Grams ever gave me was 1. Everything you make should be so well done, people ask where you bought it from. 2. Don't thrift because it's inexpensive, but rather find the highest quality pieces so that, again, people ask where you purchased it. ☺️❤️
You have an amazing way of expressing yourself! You seem to be totally talking off the cuff with no notes in front of you but very articulate in what you are trying to get across to your audience. How do you do that? It's awesome! Appreciate your honestly and openness. I haven't heard of Quiet Luxury either. Makes me curious to check those videos out.
Never heard of quiet Luxury but I don’t dress to impress or get noticed or to get compliments! I do love compliments on a cheap outfits I bought at the thrift store though! Lol !
Live and let live, to each his own, etc. Fashion delights with possibilities and choices. Different fabrics, price points and styles offer an abundance of whatever it is that floats your boat. It’s just so much fun to let fashion help you be you. And maybe a different you sometimes!😘
I don’t know if you will see this since this is an older video. I recently found from Ms. Gold Girl, Marnie Goldberg. Anyway, I loved your point here. I think fashion is a personal thing and everyone has an authentic style they feel most comfortable in. I love how you add the unexpected to traditional pieces. And you have some great tips for adding some trends that won’t break the bank and can work will with higher end staples. Bottom line: I think the important thing is that people need to feel good in their clothes. I love how you talk about this on your channel. People can carry off any style if they feel good in it! Keep being you!
Lisa, I so enjoy watching your videos because you are always true to yourself. More importantly, I watch you because you are such a sweet person inside. That is so evident. You are the sort of person all of us want to have as a friend …wish we had as a friend. Thank you so much for being brave enough to be yourself in both your style and your personality. You are a wonderful example to all of us to have the courage to be ourselves, no matter what our style. Keep on being you!
Hey Lisa! I am not one to post at all.. but I just wanted to tell you that I love your spirit! I listen to your older videos almost everyday as I get ready in the mornings! I always glean some wit and wisdom from you and though we are strangers you feel like a friend and mentor and I wanted to just say “Thank you” for giving so much of yourself to us!
You can't judge a book by it's cover. You never know about someones intentions. I wear what makes me feel comfortable. I may carry Lv bags with my overalls or wear $$$ boots with my holey jeans. I just have to feel comfortable and like myself so I have a freedom to give my whole self to others, family, friends, strangers, etc. I have worked hard to be just me even though when people say I have style - at the same time they are rollin' their eyes. To me quiet fashion is a trend although it may be the longest running one everrrr!!! I love you Lisa because you are fierce and unafraid. I hope I am around when you are in your 70's girl!
I feel guilty buying myself too expensive anything, it's like im throwing money away. Im one of those who gives my money to charity, mostly animal ones. There i said it! I buy a lot my looks at Walmart or WHERE EVER and i look and feel pretty good in it too. 😂😂😂 And I love a bargin. I like looking at beauty and color, a woman all dolled up is enjoyable to look at and not boring at all. Sometimes we like to blend but not often. Like you said Lisa its being true to yourself and don't judge. It was good to see Brook's cameo. She's all grown up. Such a doll.
I’m certainly not Uber wealthy but I enjoy luxury goods. I do think I’ve toned things down the last couple years because the world is a mess and I feel uncomfortable wearing certain things at work… around clients… coworkers
Thank you Lisa I have difficulties with someone in my life who is often critical of me liking trends, I love the quiet luxury at times but have always loved fashion and trends too! Thanks again another great video.
Great video I really enjoyed it. Wasn’t quite sure where you were going with the quite luxury thing. But, I totally understand everything and agree with what you were saying. I think I am more of a quiet luxury type person. Not that if someone is wearing something that is designer and it’s got a big label on it… I looked down on them, or judge them in a certain way I accept them for what they’re wearing because that’s just their personality. It’s just not mine. Like you said we all have our own style. I have no problem carrying a Louis Vuitton, Gucci bag and I got on a Walmart shirt. I just like what I like. I don’t like wearing logos if it’s not my initials. Especially, some thing that’s going to be really prominent. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I love your style and the fact that you wear some things that I wouldn’t wear but I still like them on you.❤❤
I'm for everyone being who they are with confidence and freedom. Lisa, you have such a wonderful heart and I love watching your videos. They encourage me in so many ways. I value what you say because of that beautiful spirit of yours. I'm so glad you are on here.
I sometimes think the logos make the "look" of the bag, shoes, etc. So the logo becomes a part of the design itself. I have Vuitton, Burberry, and Valentino, some quiet, some not, but never tacky in head to toe logos. My rule: ONE logo showing, not forty 😂🤣
This was endlessly encouraging! When I heard people talking about quiet luxury I thought, the people talking about quiet luxury have the same objective as those who love flaunting labels. It's just a recycled approach. I definitely have more of a Fran Drescher tacky style sometimes and I just feel my best that way! I've tried to dress Classic and it just looks frumpy on me. It doesn't flatter me or suit my personality. Thanks for the reminder of not to feel less-then. I went to fashion school and so sometimes I think what I like feels silly but it's just fun for me and I only live this life once so I want to enjoy what I'm wearing xo 💖
I agree...people should be who they are and be happy with themselves. I would consider my style very ordinary...a nice pair of slacks with a bodysuit...I always feel beautiful when I wear these things. People are all different and that is what makes this world so beautiful. Great video Lisa❤🌹Thank you.
Best not to try to “be” anything other than ourselves. Whatever that looks like. We’ll evolve-and that’s interesting and fun (and humorous in retrospect). New terms most often are not new ideas. Sometimes the conversation around them are taken way to seriously. I’m with you, #1 just be yourself.
Lisa! - you have grown so much in the many years I have watched you. Thank you for being a champion of the individual. Your interest and respect for woman of all types is quite obvious. You are yourself and that is fabulous, unique and inspirational. It's obvious that you are happy being you. That is magnetic and a joy to witness. Have a wonderful Father's Day w John, your parents and the kids. Many blessings.
We’re all different! I am young but I am all about quiet luxury. I have been this way my whole life. It’s my style. I enjoy quality. I do not like name brands all over me. I am not a billboard. Shopping I’m Italy I found so many quality pieces with no name. Just what I like 😊
Lisa, I haven’t been a subscriber for very long. I don’t even care about fashion that much. I have always been jeans and a tee shirt, always will be. But I know how to dress for an “occasion”. I watch your videos because I love how happy you are! It just jumps out of your videos. Keep being you. I will admit that I try to thrift most of my clothes, especially for those “occasions”, but your videos have led me to check out things you have tried on, that I wouldn’t have looked twice at. I’ve even bought a few.
Great content Lisa! You’re my favorite stylish gal out there and I’m so glad that you’ve been recognized finally with more subscribers for your great taste, personality and graciousness! Of course , I can go on and on❤❤❤ I really liked your interview last night with “5 Minute Body”. Yes, girl I’m on carnivore for the last 8 months and feel amazing! It’s all because of you!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I would love to see another video of you on carnivore! Much love❤️🥰❤️
Yes I would love it if you did live videos! It would be great to ask you questions about fashion, makeup and hair. I learn so much from your videos and have purchased various items thanks to your review ❤
Lisa, I love your videos. Your honesty is so refreshing and your warm personality always comes through. 💕 I do love the "quiet luxury" look but because I work as a science educator I usually dress purely for comfort and practicality. I will occasionally spend money on accessories, but for the most part my base wardrobe is from Target and similar.
I’m a quiet Luxury not because of the trend. I always like to wear stuff that doesn’t show the logos unless I have no choice. I live in Orange County California and people around me seems a little bit noise and always judge and talk about someone else so I decided that what I would like to wear.
I really appreciate your thoughts on being authentically ourselves and dressing to please ourselves, rather than to impress others. Also that looking put together and “rich” on the outside doesn’t mean the inside is beautiful. It reminds me of that old saying, “pretty is as pretty does”. I’m 60 years old and I have always known what I like and feel good in. It’s funny how that changes and evolves over the years and phases of life. I’m certainly not ready to dress like an old lady 😅
I love the lighter blonde on you Lisa it brings out your eyes and the watermelon red dress is deff your color. You're a summer same as me and when you wear those cool colors in the palette you look so much prettier! :)
You say you made this video so people wouldn't feel "less than" but how do you think you made the people feel who actually enjoys quiet luxury how you enjoy trends? Also, saying that people who enjoys that style or look likes to brag about what is they spend is wild. just like you wouldn't want people judging you for the trends.
YES! I love this! When I think of quiet luxury I think of Martha Stewart, Cape Cod, Connecticut. It's never been my style, but I love that everyone has their own thing. I LOVE your style, but some of it isn't me (in part because I'm a pale redhead and I just don't feel like myself in colorful things) but I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish everyone did their thing to the fullest. It would be so boring if we all liked the same things. 😂❤️
I dress pretty conservatively, but I love sequins and color…my favorite color is red. I don’t know what kind of style that is called lol. I have nice pieces and Walmart pieces. Enjoy your personal style, to each their own. I agree it is a creative outlet. Great video Lisa!
I had to think this through and it took me a while (I’m also the equestrian you mentioned in your vlog). Before I comment, I just wanted to say that I love your fashion style and enjoy your video posts! I don’t think ‘quiet luxury’ is new or a trend, people just like to label things. As I mentioned before, I am an equestrian and the people I hang around with people have a lot of money. Most dress in the ‘quiet luxury’ style including myself. Is this new? No. I’ve known many of these people and been riding with some of these people for 10+ years. They dressed in ‘quiet luxury’ 10+ years ago. Do I have a closet full of designer hand bags? No. Do I want a closet full of designer hand bags? No, but I have six custom handmade saddles that range from $6500 all the way up to $20k. No one would know this unless they knew something about saddles. My horse was imported from Germany, people don’t know this and I rarely mention it. Did I pay more for him than most people pay for their cars? Yes. Did I put him on a plane and fly him horse first class to the US, yes. Do I tell people this? No. I guess you can consider that ‘quiet luxury.’ For those Negative Nelly’s out there, I am only mentioning this because of the subject matter of this blog. I think people who wear a lot of flashy labels want to portray an image and tell the world either they have money or want to look like they have money. That is totally fine and if that makes them happy, I’m all for it. I don’t want to tell people anything. I am just as happy wearing my $39.95 dress from Walmart as I am wearing my $1000 t - shirt I got from Tom Ford (with no logo) about a week and a half ago. Another thing about flashy labels is that there are so many good fakes out there that I assume most people have fake designer so it has become meaningless to me.
I love that you did this video. One of my 3 style words is Elegant and I agree, Gap is great for this. But I’m like you in that I love my designer bags (and sequins) and feel just as well in a Gap linen shirt with jeans.
I am a trendy girl! I love it! I own several pieces that you have. I have a friend that told me I needed to get more classic pieces of clothing instead of all trendy. But I love trendy! I am proud of you! Also the first suit I ever bought for myself was Royal Blue. I still stood out.
Personally I do not like logos...I feel like you are a walking advertisement without getting paid. Maybe because when I worked as a model I got paid for wearing logos in photos. Nowadays in my neighborhood and also traveling (I just came back from Tahiti) I notice how people with money don't really wear logos and have this simple sophisticated style which I like...for nails, for hair, for clothes, for makeup. To me the more simple the more beautiful.
I love trying most new trends unless they are really outlandish. But like you, I might see someone wearing a particular outfit or style and try to put it together with my own spin. It all depends on the day and my mood. I think that’s why I love your fashion videos so much! I love seeing what you are going to put together and how you really embrace all facets of fashion.😘
Character is quiet luxury. I love finding stuff that perhaps no one would know is maybe expensive or exclusive in a way or even not of the norm for where you live. I live in a second ring suburb of Minneapolis that's kinda fancy. Not entirely fancy, but areas can be fancy. A lot of the women love Louis Vuitton, which I do as well, but you don't see a lot of other designer things. I was carrying my Givenchy Antigona bag a few years ago (into a TJ Maxx! - because I love shopping) and the sweet girl at the counter said, "I don't know what your bag is, but I can tell it's important." That's what I want. a iykyk kind of a thing.
Lisa you are such a good speaker and would have been an awesome teacher. I guess, in a way, you are actually teaching here on YT. I've learned a lot from you over the years and always appreciate what you have to say. Great discussion!
Unpopular opinion…Quiet luxury is not really a trend and has been around for decades. Someone on the internet coined the term to differentiate it from the more ostentatious or outwardly flaunting of labels or wealth. In fact, most of the true quiet luxury probably isn’t seen on social media where luxury (or anything) is rarely quiet.😂
This was going to be my exact comment! Quiet luxury is classy- am I the only one that thinks showy logos are tacky? If you actually have money, you don't wear that. That was created for people who want others to think they have money.
@@cateivy9747 Bravo
@@cateivy9747 that’s why the cheapest Louis Vuitton are the ones with the logo all over. I don’t care, because I like the neverfull and it’s classic. But it’s true logos are for people who want others to think they’re rich.
Thank you, Barb!! Agree! 🩷 Lisa
People with real money don’t flash the cash , they don’t care , they have nothing to prove , especially if it’s old money, you wouldn’t even know ,especially in Europe and the uk.
The difference is "money" times are hard and women want to still look nice but don't want to spend the money, especially single Mothers. Spending excessively these days to them is being wasteful when they have kids to raise and groceries are at an all time high! I think the quiet luxury is a way of keeping the look and saving the money.
Well said! I don’t follow trends anyway I want to look nice and comfortable! I have found awesome clothes at the thrift stores and I’ve got so many compliments! It is wasteful to spend thousands of dollars on one pair of shoes when there are starving children in this country! Love you comment! 🥰
Live your best life.. in Walmart or name brand. One’s worth is NOT in the clothing!!!! I Love you and God loves you 💛🌷💪
@@donnawashburn1638 I’m wearing a complete outfit from a thrift store today! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had a compliment on it! Also I recently wore something that I literally got dirt cheap at an end of the summer sale about 4 years ago. When I wore it two weeks ago, people were bowled over when I confided in where it came from! Then I have tank tops and sun glasses that cost more than a whole outfit I wore another time!
@@rhondablackburn3713 yes! Love this !
Good point!! I see what you mean!! 👌🏻🥰😘 Lisa
The older I get the more I’m interested in quality and classic pieces. I actually hate the word “classy.” Too many variables. It’s more about kindness, manners and how someone treats people. Someone could be dressed head to toe in designer clothes but if they aren’t kind it all doesn’t matter.
Great comment Janet, I agree. The heart of someone is what matters.
So very true ☺️
I'm more into one of kind homemade bags / purses
Class is not head to toe designer. Your putting way too much into the word. Class is something taught for years. The clothes are a second in line
Your words are the definition of classy. Wealth and designer labels have nothing to do with class. It’s taking the best care of your self, you can, living with dignity, treating others with kindness and having manners. Those traits will get you so much further than flashy, expensive labels.
This is only an internet thing. Nobody in real life cares about loud or quiet or whatever lol. It’s important to touch grass sometimes and remember what reality is and not be so worked-up
I owned a boutique for many years and when folks would see me out, they always assumed I had on some high end designer piece. The funniest time was when I was out of town, totally unplanned without clothes so had to go to the only open store in that town (Rue 21??). When I met people (bunch of prestigious snobs) out for dinner, in my $29 dress, they all thought it was some damn Gucci dress!😂😂😂😂. This is a true story that just goes to show how people do try to judge by a cover and they couldn’t be more wrong!!
So true Lisa, we shouldn’t pretend we’re someone we’re not. The trend should be ‘authenticity’ in everything! 😘
Yes! Yes! Yes! Everyone’s individuality and authenticity is what makes life interesting. One can look classy with vibrant colors and with flair as long as they reflect their own style. How sad to think people are being persuaded to tone down there personal style, much like our society is telling us to tone down our own personal opinion. Viva la difference!!!
Carolyn Bissette Kennedy comes to mind. Her style always stood out to me. I think you’re right. We should all dress (and live) in a way that makes us happy.
I think there's a big difference in the mentality of new money vs. old money. New money loves labels, old money looks down on anything ostentatious. None of it matters to me--just do what you like!
Both my parents are from generational wealth and I remember I made friends with this girl. Her mom didn’t have any college education and her dad was a construction worker that owned a company. That company was doing quite well. They clearly had a middle class background. I was in 6th grade. My parents tried to do things as couples/ families but my dad said they were not on the same level. Dad said we were “old money” and they were “new money” and my dad was annoyed by them. After a while Stacy started to annoy me and I quietly stopped being her friend. It got super weird at the country
Club and school but…
The new money v old money is a REAL thing.
Quiet luxury isn’t about looking stylish. It’s about looking rich. But no matter how you dress, you can’t trick people into think you’re rich if you don’t have multiple homes and business and private plans and a lofty social network. And who cares. Who needs that? Who are you trying to fool?
This is why I don’t like it! I’m not trying to look like something I’m not.
I’m not wealthy but I can say I don’t like logos all over an outfit. I do buy quality pieces and material is very important to me. Also, I don’t like giving free advertising to expensive brands.😂😂😂😂
Exactly.
totally agree
I don’t really consume fashion content (I’m a surgeon so I basically wear scrubs everyday) but TH-cam suggested your video to me and I just had to stay and leave a comment to say I just love who you are as a person. It just radiates through the screen! You were so authentic, genuine, classy, and just everything I love and a good southern women. Thank you for being some joy in my day. I hope you have a blessed day also! I definitely think I’ll check out future videos of yours.
Welcome! I am a 55 year old retired retail executive, I discovered Lisa eight years ago. Lisa is without a doubt one of the most authentic, kind, funny and incredibly intelligent women Ive had the great pleasure to meet over the years on social media. When she deciedes shes interested in a topic she somehow gains an encylopedic level knowledge around that topic which I immdiately was drawn too, well that and her very open love for her parents, her husband, her children and God. I hope when you have some time you maybe take a look around her massive library of videos, while she is definitly known for her Friday hauls of beauty and fashion the true Lisa is the smart badass who doesnt have to shout from the tree tops how smart she is, come to think of it...instead of "quiet luxury", Lisa is "quiet intelligence".
@@makeuplover6852 I love that. Thank you for this beautiful reply. I’m definitely going to watch some of her videos this weekend.
I love when you said you have to protect your peace. I listened yesterday to this video and that really resinated with me. I am going to protect my peace. Thanks, Lisa. You are a light.
I wouldn’t probably recognize a designer handbag if it bit me, but I do like to look as good & put together as I can afford. I think “classy” or perhaps any other style is in the eye of the beholder. I’ve actually never heard the term “quiet luxury”, but I say to each his own. Like my grandmother always said, “pretty is as pretty does”. I think kind, open minded, open hearted people are probably pretty classy❤️
This makes me think of the style icon Iris Apfel. A wealthy woman who embraces with gusto the bold, fun style that she loves but also exudes class and kindness. 💖 She always says we should dress for ourselves and wear what makes us happy 🙂
Fashion is so much fun, who wants to be quiet about it? (if you love fashion) Give me frills and feathers any day, I often wish I could wear a wedding hat/fascinator to a supermarket 🤣🤣🤣but I am not brave enough, where I live no one dresses up and I often feel overdressed. I would say that my mum is "lauder" in her fashion than me and at 72 she would not be seen dead in something understated lol she probably has more clothes than me. xox Nisha
I agree!! We love our sparkles! Thank you, Nisha! 💖🥰😘 Lisa
There’s our Nisha, preaching the gospel according to your own personal style. Wear what makes you feel good! That should be the only rule! Xxx
Lisa my my mother was in her 20s in the 1940s living in NYC. She only wore dresses and usually with a hat and gloves. She always said, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look nice.
1. "I protect my peace." 2. "There is more than one way to dress classy." Both excellent points.
I have a few of the brands. The quality is what makes you look rich. The clothes hang in flattering ways, the fabrics are sensuous, the colours subtle and rich. Lining where needed to smooth the outline and well sewn seams, more shaping with darts. It all makes you look like a super model.
Life is short, I personally don’t care about these types of things that go around. I think as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized it just doesn’t matter. Everyone should do what makes them feel good and be happy with who they are. We are all different and what’s important to one person, may not be to another. I think the most beautiful thing in a person isn’t what they choose to wear, but how they treat others. Lisa your style is you and you do it so well. Stay true to who you are and that’s all that matters. That’s why I always come back, because of who you are on the inside, the rest is just a nice bonus. 💜 Thank you for sharing this, it was interesting and fun.🌸💕
You said it so beautifully and with grace ! You are classy and honest and those qualities are rare to see . It doesn't matter how much money is in the bank account, the way how you act will tell how rich you are . Love you, soul sister ❤️
I think of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy when I think of this style.
She was beautiful,Rest in piece
🧡💜❤️ Enjoyed this video. Thank you. I’m 72 years of age and am trendy. I love high end, old money style, bohoho and classic. I love clothing. It’s Art, is it not? ❤️💜🧡
The beauty of fashion is that it is an incredibly powerful form of self-expression.
I have been in fashion for most of my adult life, over 25 years witth another 8 focusing on a broader range of retailers and systems. I was a private shopper as a side hustle in my 30's when I was also a Dr. in a fashion company. I have always loved fashion and beauty. I grrew up fairly poor in a small farming town with only the Sears catelogue to shop from, I was overweight my entire childhood so most of my clothes my Mom made. In the summer between grade 8 and 9 I lost a fair bit of weight, I could finally wear a regular size large or a 12/14. There was one small boutique in the town where my Mother was the Librarian and I went to school. By then I worked every night, after school, all weekend, and the entire summer, so I had a good amount of money saved up.
I will never ever forget the night my Mom picked me up from my job and said that Susan, the shop owner, had agreed that my Mom and I could go in and have a look after hours. I was thrilled. I remember crying in the change room as for the first time in my life I was putting on clothes that some of the "in girls" in my school where wearing. This was the 70's and Hang Ten was all the range. I remember getting a Hang Ten short set in purple, mauve matching Nike running shoes and several other things. I was over joyed. The first day of grade 9 was the first time in about 6 years I didnt have a cold sore on the 1st day of school. I developed those very young due to such high anxiety about returning to school.
Fashion and our personal relationship with clothes, what and how we choose to dress is extremley personal, for a thousand reasons why. I've just shared a tiny snippet of why I have such a love affair with fashion, shopping, taking so much time and care to pick out things that make ME feel my best, not someone else, ME. The women that I did personal shopping for where Lawyers, one was a Judge and two were doctors, they despised shopping, absolutely despised it, they had very different relationships with their clothes and again, for their own personal reasons, one I will share with you. Despite being a brilliant woman who graduated top of her class and is in the top of her field she was bullied mercilessly in school for her looks, her style. She never really got over that. Clothes to her do not bring her any joy what so ever, she is so much more comfortable in the uniform required to do her job, but hey...she has to wear something, so enter a personal stylist and shopper, me.
We all have a different and unique relationship with clothing and makeup and how we look, and how we feel the most comfortable in our own skin. The richest people in the world may not have any confidence in their looks, despite being able to own their own island and many homes etc. It is short sighted for anyone to think that the most wealthy people in this world have so much confidence they just want to wear "quiet" styles. Wrong. Many dress that way because in reality, all the money in the world cannot fix a lifetime of being told you are not attractive or you are not smart or you will never make it on your own.
This nonsense about quiet luxury is just that, nonsense. It is just one more made up term to throw around social media, new fodder for those who think they are to good to wear a visable label and to be insufferably ostentacious about it while throwing around "quiet luxury" as some sort of superiority complex, its ridicilous and laughable.
If a person have to get on social media to look down on anyone for how they choose to dress or wear their makeup, then that person needs to check the mirror. Real class is knowing when and how to keep "inside thoughts" inside, people who were either taught how to be "classy" as children or learned it along the way, already know this.
Being kind is the common denominator that knows no wealth boundaries. The wealthiest people in this world are some of the most classless and some of the most empoverishd have it to spare. Thanks for coming to my unintended by not unispired, Ted Talk on the fake "quiet luxury" and what class really is, which is kindness, which costs not a single solitary cent.
I am sick, sick, sick of "quiet luxury"! I have had decades of the corporate world, void of personality, void of expression, void of color, peoples homes looking the same as they dress, beige everywhere as if there are NO other colors in the world; everyone in black as if they are going to a funeral, it's BORING, DULL, LIFELESS. Bring on the Boho, bring on the color, patterns and charm, bring on vivaciousness. Women use to dress as beautiful flowers now most of them just look like they rolled out of bed OR they are wearing a corporate uniform. I love your style Lisa, keep it up, you are an inspiration. The wealthiest women wear colorful trendy clothes, they don't dress to please others or their boss, they dress to please themselves cause they are BOSS, they are their own woman! You can dress your best when nobody RULES over you. Luv ya, Lisa!
Hear, hear!!
Preach sister, I totally agree 👍
I HEAR YA! You hit the nail on the head!!! Best comment.
I love that your style personality is so varied and broad and that you own it. Their is nothing wrong with being trendy! You are so right it’s just another style, just like minimalism- neither is better than the other. It’s just what feels good and fun for you.
I love “protect my peace”. I had to do this not long ago after a woman said unkind gossipy things about me. I had to just get myself far away
I just didn’t know what to call it. Thank you Lisa. You are so kind. I love these talks. Hugs to the kitties. Jana - Texas
I agree with you, fashion and beauty is creative and fun. I watch your channel because of you. I have days when I get really down and I am so glad I can turn your video on. You are so bright, happy, funny, sweet and kind. I always feel better. Thank you!😊
Life is short, wear what makes you FEEL good and makes you happy. Whether it’s loud or subtle! It carries over into your attitude and relationships.
I honestly shop about 90% vintage. It’s well made, it’s fashionable (just look at Daisy Jones and the Six. I like Camila’s style.), it’s ecologically responsible and it CAN be cheaper (but I have even found Gucci and Halston for only a few hundred dollars. I usually top out at like $75 though if it’s a whole outfit, likes dress or jumpsuit).
Lisa, I keep forgetting to tell you how very much I appreciate you mentioning fabrics, feel, etc. It’s very important to me and glad you notice/mention it often. This sets you apart from others I watch. Thx u!!
Your sweet, gentle spirit comes across in all your videos. Thanks for being you and sharing your thoughts, opinions, and style. You are a blessing to those who watch.
I guess I was wrong with my take on quiet luxury. I thought it was like my chandeliers and furniture. I don’t have many people over because I’m private but I have those expensive things because they make me happy. I don’t tell people how much they cost. Or, my expensive perfume I spray and no one knows I paid a lot for it. When I dress like a bum at home in my ridiculously expensive sweats. No one sees me. No one knows how much they cost. But the fabric is amazing so I enjoy them.
Appreciate you're vulnerability in your post. And you're right. We ebb and flow from styles based on so many factors. It's one of the things that makes women so awesome in my opinion. Be it quiet luxury, punk, southwest, boho, rockabilly, 50's glam, coastal grandma, what have you....These are all fun tools in our kit to help us express ourselves in any given moment or mood.
Amen Lisa!! I understand the concept of quiet luxury...and I wish people well in whatever statement they wish to make....as long as it doesn't disclude someone else. And..
I fear on some cases, this aesthetic does when touted by certain individuals. I applauded when you referenced being kind and classy and "quiet luxury" INSIDE. Treat people with grace and respect. I too get conflicted with the quiet luxury issue as I am also a creative person and just like what i like..especially at 52 years young. Keep up the FABULOUS content. ❤❤❤❤❤
No, thank you Lisa. Thank you for being YOU! I have so much to say about the subject of this video…and it’s not about quiet luxury. We each should be and do and look exactly how we want to look and not be told in videos how not to look “frumpy” or “old” or our hair is too long. Uugg! If I did not truly know who I am and saw a video on how to not look frumpy, my first thought could be …uh oh…maybe I’m frumpy. I’m emailing you. I have so much more to say. Again, thank you. Patti 🌷🍃
FAXXX about nasty attitudes & classless personalities. Working in health care I get to experience people at their most vulnerable, old money/quiet luxury folks serve the most dishonest & insecure lives.
You are so articulate in how you speak. I love it. 🥰 All very good points, and all things I have thought, but you just made it make sense. I was also raised middle class. I have never thought negatively about money. For me, I strive to always work hard and make more. It makes me feel good. I get bored if I am not working. No matter what it is. Whether at home cleaning or putting items on Poshmark, or going into the office to work. I love making money. My friends have different opinions about it, but that speaks to their experiences. I do not let it affect me. To each their own.
You are class, class, class inside and out. Thank you for reminding us to be the best version of ourselves, quiet luxury or not.
Thank you so much, very nice! 🥰 Lisa
I love how you mention to protect yourself it is very wise to guard our hearts. It all starts inside.❤ thank you for your wisdom. Very refreshing video clip.
🎉
I remmeber you mentioned in a video that you have a Stellium in Virgo with a rising in Sagittarius and it shows a lot in your fashion !! 🩷🩷
Great Video - I honestly think there are people who lack self identity and perhaps have low self-esteem which makes them cling onto any and every trend or image they feel adds to their self-worth and value. "If I appear rich, maybe people will value me." Personally, I love colour! Red, Yellow, Orange, Metallics - I love it all and it looks fantastic against my skin tone. As much as I live for a black monochrome outfit, I am not doing myself any justice wearing muted colours around the clock. The concept of quiet luxury is ridiculous in itself because those who know the brand will recognise it without logos or branded prints, and I say this as someone who went to private school and rubbed shoulders with people from wealthy backgrounds. They also wear "loud" luxury clothes or none at all. Barbour and Ralph Lauren is as luxury as it gets for some. Members of the royal family have been known to wear branded clothing and accessories - The Lady Dior bag was named after Princess Diana and has a noisy keychain attached to it - hardly quiet.
It's plain and simple. You're a fashionista! You are who you are and you're happy with that and it shows. That's the goal. Being happy in what you wear and not caring too much of others opinions. ❤
Thank you, Sylvia! 👗🥰😘🩷
I loved this video! You said something in a previous video that was a lightbulb moment for me. You said that no matter what someone tells you looks great on you and that you “should” wear, always wear what makes you feel the most like “you”. Wear what makes you feel like the best version of yourself. That comment stuck with me and has given me the confidence to stay true to myself and what I like. This video was kind of like that. We can play with fashion and have fun, but it has to make us feel good or it’s not worth it. We can follow trends but shouldn’t feel less than if those trends are just not for us. Thanks so much for putting into words and having a conversation about what so many of us are thinking! Love this channel!
I’ve learned in my life to be true to ME…. I wear what makes ME feel beautiful. What others think of me is not my business ~ however my joy is my business. There’s no joy in trying to please others when it goes against my true self. I choose ME.
“I’m always the same person….” Gosh I just love you to death💕💕💕 I’ve been watching you forever and I just love your videos. And it’s true… you’ve always stayed true to who you are💕💕💕
The mindset changed so much due to social media and celebrity in my opinion…imitating the style of the latest Tik Tok trend which at the moment is “quiet luxury “ tomorrow it could be something totally different! Most wealthy have clothes personally tailored not purchasing on line or shopping in department stores because as you stated the quality of fabric and the fit are of the upmost importance! I think as individuals especially of our generation we are going to dress exactly as you stated with what makes us feel good whether it’s trendy neutral or a mix of both and I think that as long as your clothes are clean pressed and you feel confident and comfortable wearing them then your going to feel luxurious no matter what label is in your collar😘
Hi Lisa! Love love love.. your videos. Everyday I look forward to your videos, it’s not a secret you are my number 1. My #2 is Monroe Steele. My mom says she misses working because she got to dress up. Now that she is in Dialysis she dresses up and puts on different perfumes, and she says I’m going to work.😊that keeps her motivated and she makes friends. All woman need to feel the fashion vibe and be able to talk about it. Her and I talk about fashion a lot over the phone; she is in WI and I’m in PR🤭. Me I’m 56 have multiple sclerosis and arthritis so I dress up to go to gym and to my appointments and to church. I’m thinking about dressing up to be at home. When I go to the stores many people ask for my opinion on makeup, skin care, fashion style, religion and health. Oh I watch Kaye she dupes everyone’s style and I wish she would do it more often. But your idea of having all of us talk about Fashion is a terrific idea, at least once or twice a month.
Thank you for sharing, I truly appreciate your discussion videos and sharing with us your authentic self! Each season of our lives is a learning curve and comes with new discoveries. I am learning to be my authentic self and it’s being noticed by those around me. There will always be fad terms like “quiet luxury.” However, no matter what is “in” we should be raising each other up, no mater what style choices one makes. Like the saying goes “In a world where you can be anything, be kind.”
I have been thrifting since I was a child and wearing handmade clothing. The best advice my Grams ever gave me was 1. Everything you make should be so well done, people ask where you bought it from. 2. Don't thrift because it's inexpensive, but rather find the highest quality pieces so that, again, people ask where you purchased it. ☺️❤️
You have an amazing way of expressing yourself! You seem to be totally talking off the cuff with no notes in front of you but very articulate in what you are trying to get across to your audience. How do you do that? It's awesome! Appreciate your honestly and openness. I haven't heard of Quiet Luxury either. Makes me curious to check those videos out.
Lisa is a very smart gal.
Never heard of quiet Luxury but I don’t dress to impress or get noticed or to get compliments! I do love compliments on a cheap outfits I bought at the thrift store though! Lol !
Live and let live, to each his own, etc. Fashion delights with possibilities and choices. Different fabrics, price points and styles offer an abundance of whatever it is that floats your boat. It’s just so much fun to let fashion help you be you. And maybe a different you sometimes!😘
I don’t know if you will see this since this is an older video. I recently found from Ms. Gold Girl, Marnie Goldberg. Anyway, I loved your point here. I think fashion is a personal thing and everyone has an authentic style they feel most comfortable in. I love how you add the unexpected to traditional pieces. And you have some great tips for adding some trends that won’t break the bank and can work will with higher end staples. Bottom line: I think the important thing is that people need to feel good in their clothes. I love how you talk about this on your channel. People can carry off any style if they feel good in it! Keep being you!
Lisa, I so enjoy watching your videos because you are always true to yourself. More importantly, I watch you because you are such a sweet person inside. That is so evident. You are the sort of person all of us want to have as a friend …wish we had as a friend. Thank you so much for being brave enough to be yourself in both your style and your personality. You are a wonderful example to all of us to have the courage to be ourselves, no matter what our style. Keep on being you!
Hey Lisa! I am not one to post at all.. but I just wanted to tell you that I love your spirit! I listen to your older videos almost everyday as I get ready in the mornings! I always glean some wit and wisdom from you and though we are strangers you feel like a friend and mentor and I wanted to just say “Thank you” for giving so much of yourself to us!
I agree with you 100% I love your style and you as a person which is why I’ve followed you for so many years.
Lisa - I love how comfortable you are being YOU. It’s so refreshing and something I want to emulate for myself and especially for my little girl. ❤
You can't judge a book by it's cover. You never know about someones intentions. I wear what makes me feel comfortable. I may carry Lv bags with my overalls or wear $$$ boots with my holey jeans. I just have to feel comfortable and like myself so I have a freedom to give my whole self to others, family, friends, strangers, etc. I have worked hard to be just me even though when people say I have style - at the same time they are rollin' their eyes. To me quiet fashion is a trend although it may be the longest running one everrrr!!! I love you Lisa because you are fierce and unafraid. I hope I am around when you are in your 70's girl!
I feel guilty buying myself too expensive anything, it's like im throwing money away. Im one of those who gives my money to charity, mostly animal ones. There i said it! I buy a lot my looks at Walmart or WHERE EVER and i look and feel pretty good in it too. 😂😂😂 And I love a bargin. I like looking at beauty and color, a woman all dolled up is enjoyable to look at and not boring at all. Sometimes we like to blend but not often. Like you said Lisa its being true to yourself and don't judge. It was good to see Brook's cameo. She's all grown up. Such a doll.
I’m certainly not Uber wealthy but I enjoy luxury goods. I do think I’ve toned things down the last couple years because the world is a mess and I feel uncomfortable wearing certain things at work… around clients… coworkers
Thank you Lisa I have difficulties with someone in my life who is often critical of me liking trends, I love the quiet luxury at times but have always loved fashion and trends too! Thanks again another great video.
Great video I really enjoyed it. Wasn’t quite sure where you were going with the quite luxury thing. But, I totally understand everything and agree with what you were saying. I think I am more of a quiet luxury type person. Not that if someone is wearing something that is designer and it’s got a big label on it… I looked down on them, or judge them in a certain way I accept them for what they’re wearing because that’s just their personality. It’s just not mine. Like you said we all have our own style. I have no problem carrying a Louis Vuitton, Gucci bag and I got on a Walmart shirt. I just like what I like. I don’t like wearing logos if it’s not my initials. Especially, some thing that’s going to be really prominent. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I love your style and the fact that you wear some things that I wouldn’t wear but I still like them on you.❤❤
I'm for everyone being who they are with confidence and freedom. Lisa, you have such a wonderful heart and I love watching your videos. They encourage me in so many ways. I value what you say because of that beautiful spirit of yours. I'm so glad you are on here.
I sometimes think the logos make the "look" of the bag, shoes, etc. So the logo becomes a part of the design itself. I have Vuitton, Burberry, and Valentino, some quiet, some not, but never tacky in head to toe logos. My rule: ONE logo showing, not forty 😂🤣
The most beautiful outlook on life and style Lisa! But I already knew you have the biggest heart♥
This was endlessly encouraging! When I heard people talking about quiet luxury I thought, the people talking about quiet luxury have the same objective as those who love flaunting labels. It's just a recycled approach. I definitely have more of a Fran Drescher tacky style sometimes and I just feel my best that way! I've tried to dress Classic and it just looks frumpy on me. It doesn't flatter me or suit my personality. Thanks for the reminder of not to feel less-then. I went to fashion school and so sometimes I think what I like feels silly but it's just fun for me and I only live this life once so I want to enjoy what I'm wearing xo 💖
Yes!! I agree, thank you for watching!! ❤ Lisa
I agree...people should be who they are and be happy with themselves. I would consider my style very ordinary...a nice pair of slacks with a bodysuit...I always feel beautiful when I wear these things. People are all different and that is what makes this world so beautiful. Great video Lisa❤🌹Thank you.
Lisa, you look amazing always! I agree with you. Wear what makes you feel good.
Thank you, Candace! 🥰😘
Best not to try to “be” anything other than ourselves. Whatever that looks like. We’ll evolve-and that’s interesting and fun (and humorous in retrospect). New terms most often are not new ideas. Sometimes the conversation around them are taken way to seriously. I’m with you, #1 just be yourself.
Omg. You are SO WISE. I was nodding my head emphatically through the whole video. The part of style as your “thumbnail” totally blew my mind.
Lisa! - you have grown so much in the many years I have watched you. Thank you for being a champion of the individual. Your interest and respect for woman of all types is quite obvious. You are yourself and that is fabulous, unique and inspirational. It's obvious that you are happy being you. That is magnetic and a joy to witness. Have a wonderful Father's Day w John, your parents and the kids. Many blessings.
My goodness, THANK YOU!! So nice of you!! We sure will 🥰😘 Lisa
We’re all different! I am young but I am all about quiet luxury. I have been this way my whole life. It’s my style. I enjoy quality. I do not like name brands all over me. I am not a billboard. Shopping I’m Italy I found so many quality pieces with no name. Just what I like 😊
Lisa, I haven’t been a subscriber for very long. I don’t even care about fashion that much. I have always been jeans and a tee shirt, always will be. But I know how to dress for an “occasion”. I watch your videos because I love how happy you are! It just jumps out of your videos. Keep being you. I will admit that I try to thrift most of my clothes, especially for those “occasions”, but your videos have led me to check out things you have tried on, that I wouldn’t have looked twice at. I’ve even bought a few.
Great content Lisa! You’re my favorite stylish gal out there and I’m so glad that you’ve been recognized finally with more subscribers for your great taste, personality and graciousness! Of course , I can go on and on❤❤❤ I really liked your interview last night with “5 Minute Body”. Yes, girl I’m on carnivore for the last 8 months and feel amazing! It’s all because of you!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I would love to see another video of you on carnivore! Much love❤️🥰❤️
Love your videos. I can tell just by watching your videos that you have the sweetest soul. Love how genuine you are❤
She does.
Yes I would love it if you did live videos! It would be great to ask you questions about fashion, makeup and hair. I learn so much from your videos and have purchased various items thanks to your review ❤
Lisa, I love your videos. Your honesty is so refreshing and your warm personality always comes through. 💕 I do love the "quiet luxury" look but because I work as a science educator I usually dress purely for comfort and practicality. I will occasionally spend money on accessories, but for the most part my base wardrobe is from Target and similar.
I’m a quiet Luxury not because of the trend. I always like to wear stuff that doesn’t show the logos unless I have no choice. I live in Orange County California and people around me seems a little bit noise and always judge and talk about someone else so I decided that what I would like to wear.
Very well said. You have the right philosophy on fashion, human nature. You have a warmth about you that attracts people and this is all good. ❤
You are sooo sweet and lovely and true to yourself. Thanks for being so wise xxx
I really appreciate your thoughts on being authentically ourselves and dressing to please ourselves, rather than to impress others. Also that looking put together and “rich” on the outside doesn’t mean the inside is beautiful. It reminds me of that old saying, “pretty is as pretty does”.
I’m 60 years old and I have always known what I like and feel good in. It’s funny how that changes and evolves over the years and phases of life. I’m certainly not ready to dress like an old lady 😅
I love the lighter blonde on you Lisa it brings out your eyes and the watermelon red dress is deff your color. You're a summer same as me and when you wear those cool colors in the palette you look so much prettier! :)
I think labels say nothing about how much money someone has. I agree with you, it is all about personal style.
I love your videos Lisa! I was wondering what type of camera do you use for your vlogs? You always look so amazing x
You say you made this video so people wouldn't feel "less than" but how do you think you made the people feel who actually enjoys quiet luxury how you enjoy trends? Also, saying that people who enjoys that style or look likes to brag about what is they spend is wild. just like you wouldn't want people judging you for the trends.
YES! I love this! When I think of quiet luxury I think of Martha Stewart, Cape Cod, Connecticut. It's never been my style, but I love that everyone has their own thing. I LOVE your style, but some of it isn't me (in part because I'm a pale redhead and I just don't feel like myself in colorful things) but I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish everyone did their thing to the fullest. It would be so boring if we all liked the same things. 😂❤️
You are a class act Lisa, honestly. You radiate kindness. 💗
I dress pretty conservatively, but I love sequins and color…my favorite color is red. I don’t know what kind of style that is called lol. I have nice pieces and Walmart pieces. Enjoy your personal style, to each their own. I agree it is a creative outlet. Great video Lisa!
I had to think this through and it took me a while (I’m also the equestrian you mentioned in your vlog). Before I comment, I just wanted to say that I love your fashion style and enjoy your video posts! I don’t think ‘quiet luxury’ is new or a trend, people just like to label things. As I mentioned before, I am an equestrian and the people I hang around with people have a lot of money. Most dress in the ‘quiet luxury’ style including myself. Is this new? No. I’ve known many of these people and been riding with some of these people for 10+ years. They dressed in ‘quiet luxury’ 10+ years ago.
Do I have a closet full of designer hand bags? No. Do I want a closet full of designer hand bags? No, but I have six custom handmade saddles that range from $6500 all the way up to $20k. No one would know this unless they knew something about saddles. My horse was imported from Germany, people don’t know this and I rarely mention it. Did I pay more for him than most people pay for their cars? Yes. Did I put him on a plane and fly him horse first class to the US, yes. Do I tell people this? No. I guess you can consider that ‘quiet luxury.’ For those Negative Nelly’s out there, I am only mentioning this because of the subject matter of this blog.
I think people who wear a lot of flashy labels want to portray an image and tell the world either they have money or want to look like they have money. That is totally fine and if that makes them happy, I’m all for it. I don’t want to tell people anything. I am just as happy wearing my $39.95 dress from Walmart as I am wearing my $1000 t - shirt I got from Tom Ford (with no logo) about a week and a half ago.
Another thing about flashy labels is that there are so many good fakes out there that I assume most people have fake designer so it has become meaningless to me.
Love this comment!!
I love that you did this video. One of my 3 style words is Elegant and I agree, Gap is great for this. But I’m like you in that I love my designer bags (and sequins) and feel just as well in a Gap linen shirt with jeans.
I am a trendy girl! I love it! I own several pieces that you have. I have a friend that told me I needed to get more classic pieces of clothing instead of all trendy. But I love trendy! I am proud of you! Also the first suit I ever bought for myself was Royal Blue. I still stood out.
This causes me to rethink all the talk about looking expensive, Its wearing what you want , what you like and enjoy!!!!!! Yeah!!
Awesome video, I 100% agree it’s just a style….I dress depending on my mood
This is the best video I watched over this subject. So lucid and necessary!
I watch your channel, because although I have a different style from yours, you inspire me to be my best authentic self.
Personally I do not like logos...I feel like you are a walking advertisement without getting paid. Maybe because when I worked as a model I got paid for wearing logos in photos. Nowadays in my neighborhood and also traveling (I just came back from Tahiti) I notice how people with money don't really wear logos and have this simple sophisticated style which I like...for nails, for hair, for clothes, for makeup. To me the more simple the more beautiful.
I love trying most new trends unless they are really outlandish. But like you, I might see someone wearing a particular outfit or style and try to put it together with my own spin. It all depends on the day and my mood. I think that’s why I love your fashion videos so much! I love seeing what you are going to put together and how you really embrace all facets of fashion.😘
Character is quiet luxury.
I love finding stuff that perhaps no one would know is maybe expensive or exclusive in a way or even not of the norm for where you live. I live in a second ring suburb of Minneapolis that's kinda fancy. Not entirely fancy, but areas can be fancy. A lot of the women love Louis Vuitton, which I do as well, but you don't see a lot of other designer things. I was carrying my Givenchy Antigona bag a few years ago (into a TJ Maxx! - because I love shopping) and the sweet girl at the counter said, "I don't know what your bag is, but I can tell it's important." That's what I want. a iykyk kind of a thing.
Lisa you are such a good speaker and would have been an awesome teacher. I guess, in a way, you are actually teaching here on YT. I've learned a lot from you over the years and always appreciate what you have to say. Great discussion!
