[@jennreeder9237]

This has been my look for the last 20 yrs, glad to see the trends catch up with me! Not "expensive" just civilized.

[@starfishw7138]

Ahead of the times. You missed the raggedy denium look, then?

[@mindbodysoul8214]

I love throwing in a Trench or any Coat, during cooler days, with jeans, a white Tank or Tee and a pair of loafers/mules for an easy Elevated look...an added scarf (heavy or light) is a Game Changer !🌻 Congratulations beautiful Ladies on your 100K Subbies... so deserving.💛

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

Loved the jeans with elevated look. I teach school and on Fridays I always put that pair of jeans on with a blazer, the shirt tucked, heels and my best Kate Spade bag. I’m set to go with a great day and maybe a great early evening out!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

That's perfect!

[@Glock19Atlanta]

Love both of y’all’s hair in this video! Looks so fresh, shiny and gorgeous!

[@tamick2000]

I love dark wash denim to elevate an outfit. It just really allows for more options on where you can wear them.

[@hillaryhoshaw]

I feel like you ladies have had a few videos lately that focus on looking modern but with a classic, timeless style and I just want to say am here for it. Great job! 👏

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Yes! Thank you!

[@deeecanta]

This video was 100% for me! I love that my office environment is casual, but in management I don't want to look unprofessional. I loved this video!

[@janicestonebridge2124]

Excellent video. A good reminder on how to keep things simple but chic! With things we have . Thanks..

[@colleenraymond944]

I love watching your channel I always get some really great tips that elevate my style. Thank ladies 👍👍❤️❤️

[@angelajacobson1890]

I love this practical advice! Thank you so much for your content! (Do-able fashion tips for any budget, not just promoting expensive high end garments and companies!)

[@connie6410]

Great tips and tricks as always, ladies, thank you! 💕

[@teresag75]

Great tips, ladies! Did not think about the structured handbag until you mentioned it. Definitely brings it up a notch. I'm going to try to force myself to wear heels with my jeans more often. I've gotten lazy in my old age, lol.

[@angieparton6434]

Me too, Teresa! It’s a thing with age isn’t it?

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

oh trust me, we are in flats and sneakers 99 percent of the time too! But if you want to step it up for a certain occasion, the heels are great!

[@cisforcoach9329]

I received my satin blouses from Banana Republic Factory yesterday. They are so nice! Thank you so much for the referral! I got the Latte which looks like bronze, and the Black. Prices were astonishing. They fit well and no gap at the buttons. I've been looking for a well fitting satin blouse for 2 years!!

[@stephaniepurcell2245]

I got the black one too. Great quality and fit. Thanks.

[@susanschultz2355]

Love this video. I just bought the dark-wash flared Citizens of Humanity jeans (at Evereve) and LOVE them. I wore them in 1st class on Air France from Paris--with a blazer and heels. Gosh, I felt so elegant. I think I actually adhered to all your recommendations--thank you!

[@76482]

👍

[@conservativegirl3371]

Did you get the Citizen of Humanity LILAH jeans? I recently bought those too and love them!

[@susanschultz2355]

@@conservativegirl3371 Not sure of the name but they are very long and have a fantastic stream-lined fit with a very flattering flare--have to wear heels or ankle boots with them. Cost $200-but totally worth it!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Wonderful! Everything about that sounds amazing! The jeans, the blazer, heels, Paris!

[@katiebarquet8783]

[@kateionescu8232]

Wonderful video. One thing tho and I have been hesitating to say it, Christina you’re so beautiful when you stand in front of the hanging clothes make sure that your outfit is a good contrast with the clothes hanging behind you that way you stand out more.

[@donnalanphear3567]

Yay so deserved! 100K plus we love you and your content!!

Hi Ladies, I love this video, I love my jeans and with the exception of a few dress pants, jeans will be my go-to this Fall and into the Winter. Thank you so much for all the great information you bring us every week.🌷🌷🌷

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

You are so welcome!

[@MaleficaRue]

Ive been doing everything u mentioned and as i was listening to yall i kept thinking then qhy do i still look frumpy, and then u mentioned tuck in your top! I never do that and i juat realized thats why i looked too casual!! Thank u! I will definitely do that from now on😊

[@moongoddess8846]

Great comments for a very nice look. Thank you, ladies! Personally, I find a lower heel more classy, not to mention more comfortable to wear and comfortable looking, than a high heel. From my perspective the structured bag and/or coat really add an element of authority or power to the outfit that can blend beautifully with the soft top and jeans - I think the masculine/feminine balance you were referring to, Christina.

[@mariaziarnik6909]

It’s nice to know I have had the same idea all along. Thank you for confirming it . 😘

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

You are so welcome!

[@francesdobbins2964]

Thank you for another great video.

[@jleetxgirl]

A neater style, I think of “tailored” & try to dress like it myself. Just a step above, the way we used to before grunge, etc. 👍

[@shannonalwaise8398]

Thanks for the helpful tips

[@gwenkunkel4170]

First time viewer here and I love this video! I am a 63 year old and this is such a great amount of style information. Also the simple classic style is perfect for me. I am a new subscriber and look forward to viewing many more.

Just bought a nice black satin blouse today !!

[@marylafrance9547]

Wow 100,000!!! Congrats ladies! Satin and Silk definitely look elegant for work or date night. . (Models with their tops unbuttoned and no bra definitely sleezy. I would never wear that out of the house.)

[@mmmarshall1962]

Awesome suggestions!

[@Amy-601]

Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾 Christina & Kelly! Btw, I got a pair of mauve AE jeans 👖 using your link, from your jeans 👖 video, 2 videos ago, and I love ❤️ it! Thank you 😊 for making the video, always love ❤️ your suggestions! Hugs 🤗, Amy

Thank you so much!!

[@beccamiller9929]

Even in grade school I would always wear dark, non distressed jeans with a belt and shirt tucked in. To this this day, I feel incomplete if I am not tucked in and without a belt. Funny, how I dressed in a very untrendy way at time. But in reality, I was more classic. I also can't buy super light jeans.

[@mercedes523]

I also dressed nicely as a teen. I never wore sweats or t-shirts. I leaned toward the preppy look. Levi’s, tucked in Oxford cloth shirts, and loafers.

[@patriciacaruolo3132]

Anything else ??

[@laurennguyen1008]

In the 60s girls had to wear dresses, even in the Minnesota winters. We wore stretch pants and boots underneath and took them off in the cloak (not coat) room.

[@lonawhitten6854]

I am the same way...I only wear dark denim u distressed jeans with a belt...classic styling. I have been dressing similar since high school...I never wear leggings and seldom tennis shoes if any kind...usually a 2 inch heel. My comfort zone.😁

[@patriciacaruolo3132]

Well, isn't that special ??

[@janeblondell4197]

Love, love, love the first structured black bag with gold hardware. Would love to know the brand.

[@lisamonsma4423]

Congrats on reaching your first big milestone!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Thank you so much!!

[@PrincipalOlds]

I so love your channel as a working women in her mid 50’s. I connect so much with your suggestions. I do have a question though- why are the example models you feature often women in their 20’s and 30’s when the focus is women over 40? I sometimes see women who are older but it’s more difficult to consider a look when they appear on women the age of my daughters. You two are kind and supportive of living your best life and I’m grateful for that. Just wondering about the model choices. Thanks for listening.

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

We do our very best to feature a variety of ages, ethnicities and body types and often receive compliments on how diverse our videos are. Of course we are limited on the images that are available to us online. Our #1 focus is to show the outfits as inspiration and sometimes unfortunately those are only available on models.

[@fionafrazer8820]

Congrats on 100k!! Good tips - thanks!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Thanks so much!

[@mettenorsk8433]

I’m a new subscriber and I’m so glad I found you😊 I’m from Denmark but have (unfortunately) lived in Texas for the past 12 years where classic and stylish are foreign words. I love your European style.

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@littlemom2070]

Any tips on how to prevent transfer (to hands, purses, other clothing) with darker wash jeans?

[@kimgooden316]

Also don’t forget one thing no wrinkles 🥰

[@eddajokie4115]

Good tips, thanks. The only problem, in my opinion and in my personal case, is the high heels with jeans. I prefer a pair of sneakers or low heels shoes. I have two public buses to go to work and after the 2 buses I have a long walk to arrive at the office. And weather is not a friend...for the other part of the video I absolutely appreciate your tips,they are very useful. Thanks again 🤗

[@rockforester7908]

Great show.

[@dawnstoner7360]

Kelly, my husband says the exact same thing to me when I wear distressed jeans 🤣🤣

[@michelesteward5170]

Kelly, you look FANTASTIC in black 🖤

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

Thanks so much!

[@debbieking5680]

Hi ladies! I’m so happy that you are back to “2” videos per week. Love this “styling up” our jeans video. I do follow this rule but love all of your wonderful reminders❣️ … but I have a question…uh-oh. I think you might cringe 😬 lol. Ok so you showed a picture early in your video of a girl with dark jeans, a black top with sheer sleeves and 2-tone ankle wrap heels. Yikes!! Can you please provide us with look-alike options? When that look came up, I had to peel my eyeballs off of the screen. lol Thank you!!!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

We'll see what we can find.

[@eviestas]

Never liked distressed denim . I always wear a darker Jean in the late summer / winter time . I wear light wash in the summer Yes it’s more casual but classy

[@phido9235]

Thank you 😊

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

You're welcome 😊

[@emilyherr6011]

I love your videos and ideas! But I think it is so interesting watching fashion trends in my area versus different areas around the country. I live in central Pennsylvania, not the most fashion-forward place in the world! Around here, it's basically farms, small towns and a big University where football is king (ahem... PSU). I would love more opportunities to dress up like this but it just doesn't happen much around here.

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

We totally understand. But I gotta say, sometimes the idea of a nice small farm town that loves their football sounds awfully nice!

[@pattorelli3451]

Congratulations on 100K!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

[@mercedes523]

Elegant belts are my thing.

[@AgeIsJustANumber]

[@bambio9686]

As I’ve gotten older I really dislike my hips so the tucking in and belt I’m not comfortable with but I do the half tuck any other ideas for someone like me who doesn’t like her curvy middle ??

[@moongoddess8846]

Thanks ladies! Can you, or another viewer, identify source of the image at 10:02? I really like the belt, in particular, in that shot.

[@Gmaillup]

Yay! 🤗

[@anner6342]

After a back injury I am no longer able to wear heels. Occasionally would you help with a flat shoe option?

There is no your video, which is not super. Great tips and very inspiring film. Greetings, Ewa

[@welcomwelcom9882]

Jeans jeans and more jeans They suit everyone regardless of shape size and age. 70 and can't imagine ever not wearing denim and jeans Fabulous video thank u lovely ladies

[@raelinhuddleston1895]

Kelli how do you keep your sleeves pushed up or is it made that way?! The black blazer you are wearing in the video?!

[@MommiesMakeupAndMoscato]

I just pushed them into place and this blazer doesn't seem to slide down so much. It's a great one!
