I just bought the cream colored woven flap bag but I bought it in black. I was searching for a somewhat structured simple black bag to wear to a funeral. I had saved your video in my playlist & remembered your recommendations. Do u agree that that one will be nice for a funeral? If not, which one do you think?

Congratulations! Name her White Diamond

No such thing as old money fashion and who made that definition up? Classy, elegant, age appropriate is timeless, you either have style or not?

❤that part

I’m older now and love to cover myself up. I don’t wanna look like my daughter hahah

I don't understand this video.. I've been raised on both sides of the track..and I am black...With that being said, plenty of the women in my family are black professionals..They have always dressed with class, throughout the decades in every scrapbook I could find in the basement. that wasn't damaged by a natural disaster over the years. 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's...and today. Same thing throughout history. There have always been black people that have been elite , middle class and poor...Hell, there was even black people on the titanic. So, I'm not buying into the elite aesthetic is only for "white people"...People dress according to the environment that they were raised in...Just take a dip into Baltimore, Boston, Louisiana, NY, Conneticut, Charleston, Sc. San diego, california, Atlanta, certain parts of Miami. And you'll see...I'm sorry but as a black woman, I don't feel that we need to be competing with anything!. We set the trends, and the fashion changes within the decade!. Like marilyn monroe, got her signature "do" from a black woman...And Jackie kennedy's wedding dress was made by a black woman !. So, the whole talk about elitism aesthetic isn't for the black woman???. Is bullshit, because we've always been here !...To push the envelope even further, while I do understand everyone isn't blessed with a set of parents or guardians. To teach them right from wrong. But, the moment you become a woman, "you" should always have pride within yourself!. And carry yourself with class. It's a time and place for everything !.

I think of Queen Elizabeth. With old money. However, I like tailored suits for the occasion.

You are sooo smart!!

I think one of the biggest indicators of style and fashion is how you choose to wear your hair. I think if your whole goal is to be recognized by Caucasian people, start from the top down. Be as natural as possible. I don’t think you can fit into a group that “you” are trying to imitate…. Now let me go watch this video 😂

Old money fashion means elegant not what your economical status is or what race you are . Someone really need to teach our young black how to dress in less seductive clothing especially in a professional setting. So many young black women dress like they are auditioning for a rap video.

Interesting take, but did you consider that back then it was not called old money fashion, it was just fashion. It was fashion everybody wore. There was a time when all women youngold, poor or weakthy did nit leave the house withiut a pair of white gloves, their best dress, a hat, no matter what it looked like. Many looks were tailored looking because ready made clothing sold in local stores hit its stride in the 40s and 50s. Most women were ordering patterns for dresses out of magazines and hand sewing or using sewing machines. The old money set were just older people with money (who knew how to keep it) and they didn't rush out to buy the latest trends. They wore the same good quality pieces over and over and learned how to accessorize. I appreciate you bringing up the topic of conversation 😊

I highly disagree. Fashion isn’t a “one size fits all,” thing. I view it in the same way that some women try to make every style fit themselves, but, it just doesn’t work for their body types. For example…. Knee high and thigh high boots. On women with slender legs, it doesn’t come close to the appeal of a woman that’s thick enough to fill them up.

ATTENTION SUSTA: Wear what looks good on you and makes you feel fabulous! Don’t allow yourself to be pigeon-holed or put nearly in a box. If you like a classic look, wear it. If you like the video vixen look, wear it.

Youre correct the term is dated and elitist. I hear classic or elegant being thrown in there too.

Great video👏🏾👍🏽

All amazing choices!! ❤

Oh wow! I gotta check target out❤

Nicee ✨💕✨

yas!!!

Omm I thought you were Regina lil Wayne’s daughter lol

I grew up in Connecticut i always like the old money look. Before social media. My black teachers,my friends parents, and family dressed sharp. And going shopping in Manhattan.You wear what u like and can afford. Its the quality for me. You have some wealthy people who dress poor.

I keep billie stocked and layer it with the Rio del sol 69 I think it’s the orange bottle

As women of a certain age who has loved fashion my whole life, I can unequivocally tell you this; the old money fashion doesn’t work for Black women because we are Black women. It doesn’t matter what we wear we will always be seen by the color of our skin. Ask Shelia Johnson, Michelle Obama or Stacy Abrams. We all know high power Black women who are treated like McDonald’s employees. We need to appreciate the fact that because we are Black women, we have the freedom to create our own fashion aesthetic and handle our own business unapologetically. Fashion doesn’t really apply to us because historically Black women don’t follow fashion trends, we create fashion trends.

I’m starting to get into my vanilla phase. I’ll give these a try for fall, thanks. ❤❤

That Arabian cinnamon fragrance is to die for!!!!

I bought Burberry Goddess over the weekend! It smells amazing!

I love Burberry goddess! Have you tried Rose Gourmand by Zara? It's supposed to smell like Gentle Fluidity Gold.

I appreciate the idea behind this video, but I don't think there is anything Not for Black women. We shouldn't limit ourselves because we are Black. At least, that is the goal, right? Boycotting the term will not do anything but stress us out about politics when we are just trying to look cute.

Hello. I loveeee❤ Lattafa Karmarh … OMG…Unbelievable I was trying to find this fragrance last night, a friend of mine’s just recommended, she only know the shape of the bottle. Had to Google the bottle…lol.. Billie Eilish …So does it last long for real?

I agree with everything you are saying, I believe it has something to do with age as well, im 29 and also struggle with getting views and subscribers. I feel like the younger generation runs KZbin.

Do you know of a good dupe for the Burberry?

I think it’s more about wealth… If you are Uber rich - you won’t need to impress anyone and would prefer to be discreet for safety reasons, all while wanting quality and feeling comfort… When you hit that point - you would naturally gravitate towards it, at least after some time…

I’m almost 50 and babe.. I’m so here for the kitten heels. I must admit the newer kitten heels are not the heels for back in the day. So many cute ones now. I’m not going over2.76😂😂😂😂. Thanks for the video 💕💕oh and I love the jeans, I bought the exact ones ❤

I agree 100%! Great video!

🤞🏾

When I hear terms like, old money, clean, neutral, we already know those dog whistles. However, when you look at fashion houses that are thriving, they realized if they incorporated different cultural aesthetics( tends to be street fashion) they were able to elevate their line and stay afloat. Ralph Lauren is called the "classic American designer", but we all know him best for his designs that were inspired by Native Americans ( Navajo) and the Southwest color palette. IMHO, personal style is empowering and builds confidence whatever you choose to wear.

My spouse and I, with 23 years of marriage under our belt, are quite well-off. We reside in Potomac, a posh and upscale neighborhood, mostly inhabited by Caucasians. Our children are currently enrolled in HBCUs, our son at Morehouse and our daughter at Spelman. It's a running joke in our family to refer to the “Old Money” look displays of wealth as the "old white cracker look." Growing up in 80s Miami, Florida, my parents used to use this term. As a prosperous African-American family living in their midst, we are well aware of the distinction between this and other stereotypes. Just like they can differentiate between prominent blacks, ghetto dwellers, and country folks, we can tell the difference between them and rednecks and hillbillies. Believe me, they are aware that we are aware of their awareness.

Great video and interesting topic, I honestly believe a lot of these fashions and trends are not for blacks in general. The fashion houses have just recently started making clothes that can fit “ curvy” women. The wonderful thing about fashion is you can wear and enjoy what you want. The truth is we as black ppl always have our style and culture stolen that goes for fashion hair food and everything in between. 💕💕💕

I think you nailed this term without any judgement whatsoever. I hope to see more videos of you expressing your thoughts.

I am not a black woman but I agree that everyone should be themselves and wear something just because a certain group or person does. My favorite boss and also a friend was when I was in my early 20's. She was an older black lady and she made all her own clothes. Every Sunday she would come to work after church dressed beautiful including a matching hat. I will never forget her.

Great video, I totally agree. There’s a lot of things I don’t like about certain fashion trends/aesthetic in the fashion industry. But I do believe like you mentioned that the purpose of fashion should be to have fun and be confident in your own look. I do lean towards more modern day classy clothes and I think it’s so important to be educated before you just assume or associate yourself with anything because the history is so important and there is a lot of anti blackness in certain aspects of certain fashion trends like when the “clean” girl look became a thing. We just have to be aware of what we’re choosing to give our attention to and I believe people will be able to still enjoy whatever style but also be very informed while doing so.

I understand the sentiment of the term. However, l saw professional Black women dress this way in the 60’s and 70’s . My mother and all her college educated friends were adorned this way. I will say that I saw many then just like now who like to be flashy and ultimately look cheap . Many Black women choose a sexy look at all times and there is a time and place for everything. Great topic!

The term is low key “white people only” not to say that Black peoples don’t or have not accumulated generational wealth, however, WE know that the foundation of that old money is based in slavery, economic and systemic racism….. it’s like an “only us, n never u” club… EXCELLENT COMMENTARY ❤😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Agree!!!!!

I agree💯💯💯

You do an excellent job! Just give it some time, stay prayerful and remember Rome wasn’t built in a day. 😊

I think people on social media tend to make themselves, their family, etc look "perfect" instead of the reality of how life truly is. No one always has everything going their way every time. I hope you get the Sephora Squad. I was wondering if you get makeup products sent to you to try out from companies. If you do, maybe you could do a video trying them out and giving us your opinion.

Hello Beautiful am a recently New subscriber. Found your video as it pop up. I don’t normally comment, but I do thumbs up-/-like all the videos but I do now want to support more by commenting. I do like all that you offer and as you do more of everything your tribe will come. Am believing that with you. I know FENTY has a PURPLE blush, check it out when you can…… Continue to post also what you love so that your authentic self will draw your tribe….Blessings!!!❤

Left u a review hope it helps. Good luck. 💙

Personally, I enjoy your content more when you lean on the lifestyle side. I definitely understand why you would lean toward the Amazon videos, for example, if they're more successful for you. Perhaps being exposed to a broader audience increases the likelihood of finding more who like your lifestyle content. I wonder though if those who come for things to purchase will only want more content about things to purchase. It's really a tough call bur I'm here for whatever videos you post.
