How To

Feeling fabulous and confident is key to looking "expensive." I am always editing my wardrobe to create the looks that I truly love. I have to stop adding new items, though.

very good video 😊

Hmmm…but Cos tshirts are expensive, certainly not the price you pay for a tshirt at a thrift store, so this is looking more expensive by buying something more expensive.

Thank you for no/low spend tips to elevate my wardrobe!

👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love this list! I don't buy knitwear anymore because I prefer to knit them, which also allows me to choose natural fibers, and hone in on fit as well. It's not necessarily always cheaper than buying clothes if you prioritize good materials, but the construction and fabric quality are always far superior to anything I could buy and it definitely takes longer to knit a sweater than it does to buy one! I'm sure people who know how to sew feel similarly.

Great tips and can I add – shoulder pads. I'm into retro vibes and sometimes get teased for them, but they instantly add structure and make blouses, jackets tops look designer (on my body shape at least!). Also, it's worth learning how to tailor / tweak your own clothes. I get it if it's a zip replacement or suiting resize, but tailors charge crazy amounts for simple v tasks such as taking up a hem. Most T-shirts / tops have too high cut crew necklines these days, makes me feel like I'm choking, another alteration that's worth learning 🙂

I have gained weight and am buying a lot of new things. Mostly jeans and sweaters. I bought two new cashmere sweaters. I’m an older viewer. And the older I get the better I am at fabrics. I won’t wear any cheap polyester anymore. I have two more sweaters in my cart. All my winter clothing is still packed away. I’m working on getting them in my closet. So I’m not sure if anything will fit me. I’m hoping to go on some kind of diet to lose weight. So I’m not going to get rid of all of it.
