It's been French and it's been so much Fun but I'd love to know what language You'd like to learn and also what Languages you actually speak I only Speak one and it makes me feel really Inadequate so I can't wait to be more Proficient at French but it's actually Coming along faster than I thought one Of the easiest ways to give your outfits A little bit more of a Luxe look and Feel is to think about layering now take For instance a basic white button-down Shirt now it will always look amazing And simple and stylish but if you add Some layers to that you can create a Whole new look that can look a little More polished and a little bit more Interesting so things like perhaps Teaming a beautiful knitted vest or a Crop top over the top of your Button-down shirt to create a bit more Dimension to your outfit and a little Bit more interest so think about some of The classic pieces that you already own And look at different ways that you can Layer them to create more interest and Give your outfits that little bit more Elevation now when it comes to a Luxe Looks the details really do matter and That simple things like adding a couple Of modern accessories before you walk Out the door whether it's a pair of Chunky hoop earrings or an interesting Watch or taming your outfit with some
Beautiful sunglasses or a crossbody bag Those finishing details really can help To elevate an outfit and sometimes these Details are easily forgotten because we Feel like our outfit is our clothing but It's those accessories that will just up The ante and take your outfit up a Little bit of a notch even hats are a Great thing scarves adding a little bit Of something else those extra little Details will always elevate your look so While it's easy to forget them try and Remember them create and interesting Really modern Luxe outfit by adding Those little details and one of my best Secrets to looking a little more Elevated and that is to spend a little Bit more money with your denim jeans now If you don't wear denim jeans fast Forward to my next point but if you do What I do suggest is spending a little Bit more money because you will end up With a denim that is a better quality And that means it will always look great And it will last better as well what you Will find with the cheaper denims they Look great when you wear them in the Store but they tend to have more of an Elastine in the fabric composition so That basically means that they will Stretch out of shape a whole lot faster And certainly when den and jeans do that They don't look as slick and Sophisticated so when it comes to Denim
I know it's tempting to buy something That looks really stylish but it's super Affordable or it's budget but if you can Try and spend just a little bit more Than you normally would on a pair of Means to buy quality that will last and Stay looking good for a really long time Now speaking of denim jeans one of the Things that we often do is we always Think about denim jeans worn in a sort Of a casual way it's the weekend let's Grab a pair of jeans and sneakers and We're good to go what we often forget is That a great pair of jeans really will Take you anywhere so think of them as The most versatile pair of pants that You own simply swapping out your Trainers for a cute pair of heels or a Gorgeous little ankle booty will totally Transform your outfit and definitely Give any pair of jeans a more of a Luxe Look and feel same goes for jackets and Blazers instead of wearing a simple Sweater with your jeans swap that out For a basic tee and team it with a Blazer or an oversized bomber so the key Here is really looking at those pieces And taking them outside of their comfort Zone and thinking about how you can wear Them differently to how you currently Wear them we all get stuck in a rut of Wearing certain pieces that we own in a Certain way but some of those pieces Will take you anywhere and a classic
Really lovely pair of jeans that you Feel great in can absolutely do that now This one may seem basic but it is really Important and it is just to take the Time to iron or steam your clothes I Recently bought myself a clothes steamer And it's been a game changer for me I Have talked about it here on my channel In a few videos past but I cannot speak Highly enough of being able to steam my Clothes you don't have to set up an Ironing board it's quick and easy and Really effective and just taking that a Little bit of extra time to add the Finishing touches to making sure that Your collar is steamed flat and making Sure that you don't wear a wrinkled and Creased up shirt or dress it's a little Detail but it does make the biggest Difference so take the hard work out of It and if you are in the market for Upgrading your iron think about getting A steamer I cannot heart recommend them But it is these small details about the Finish of your clothes and how well your Clothes are cared for and maintained That does make a difference as well and Sometimes it's easy to forget that just Thinking now it's easy to grab a piece That we wear all the time without really Looking at it and deciding whether that Piece has seen better days or does it Really need a quick little iron to make It look its best the devil really is in
The detail so don't forget those simple Things I also think it's really Important to have a signature makeup Look now I'm not talking about piling on Lots of makeup to try and mask who you Are but just having a go-to makeup look That you can put together really quickly And know that you can turn it around it Works with everything you own and it Just makes you look and feel good There's definitely power in if you Perceive that you look good you do feel Good and so having that kind of everyday Makeup look that is quick and easy to Put on but still makes you feel Glam and Put together there's also a really easy Way to level up your outfits I know Sometimes it's super tempting just to Race out the door and dry your hair and Do little else but taking that extra a Little bit of time just to apply a Little bit of makeup add a bit of color To your face makes a whole lot of Difference and it does seem to finish Off an outfit and just add that Finishing Touch an extra little bit of Polish and one of the tricks of the Trade for me and certainly as I've got Older is to make sure that I invest a Little bit of time in whitening my teeth And I'm amazed at how much of a Difference whitening your teeth can make To your overall appearance and it's a Really simple thing to do whether you
