How to Look Expensive #4: WINTER Edition!

[@kimberlykirkland3715]

Gotta say the wardrobe checklist really helped me get my closet in order! I was just wearing all my frumpiest clothes until I really went through everything and realized I had so many nice outfits in there. I took pictures of everything and made different outfit combinations, printed them out and pinned them on my wall. Now I always know what to wear! Thank for all you do!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Aww I'm so glad to hear that! ~Erin xo

[@bernadineroyal6656]

Wow, that’s a great idea. I have got to go through my closet, dreading it...lol. I have put on some weight since I hit menopause...ugh😔🙄. Not much about 12 pounds, so it’s got to be done so I don’t reach for the things I loved and now don’t fit. I will get things to replace those items but down size..so to speak, but quality not quantity. Have a great week.🤗.

[@jmallett6081]

Miss Busbee Style. A lot of your advise is what French women use in their wardrobes. They might wear faux fur, however they tend to go with something neutral. It is okay if you have a teal faux fur, everything else needs to be basic, neutral and complimentary. French women are not about trends, but about creating a wardrobe that is going to last for years and building on that. It is about basic style that suits your body type that will last. As you mentioned, use basic pieces, yet stepping it up a notch. French women are all about basic style with quality and subtle detail. You may not even see the detail until you are close up and notice subtle textured dots on a blouse. Jewelry is classic. A good basic pearl necklace and earrings will never go out of style. As you pointed out, you cannot go wrong with diamond studs, I go with studs in any gemstone, matching whatever I have on and the season. I do have very good imitation diamond earrings that people cannot tell the difference. Just a note from me, scarfs, even vintage ones like the 60's & 70's, can be used to create many looks with new colors and ways to wear them to create interest that will always be a fun way to create a new look in otherwise understated looks. It is about classic, basic looks meet a little edge on the style to be individual. French women rarely go for what is on the runway, they go for a style that is going to make them look classic and beautiful for years.

[@niciacrosson7211]

I appreciate your sight. I love how you encourage lady like style. Classic style is so attractive and attainable. I believe women should embrace being a woman and own it. We live it a world where there is so much condemnation for submitting to our femininity....Instead we should champion it. Thank you for your video.

[@tigerlily7173]

I really appreciate your effort to give a more reasonably priced, yet still classy alternatives to $$$ items. I love the high- end ideas, but without a realistic alternative, they just stay.. ideas for me. Please keep doing that in your videos!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! I always try to provide a lower price alternative for items that I recommend. I'm glad that you find this useful! xo

[@dinaoreilly9483]

Your hair is perfect for you....seriously the length and feathery ends really adds such panache to your pretty face...Hugs

[@jackiewatsonfitness3695]

Great video, Erin! I've gotten so many tips from you! I've purchased a winter white pants and sweater that I probably wouldn't have before, and I've received a ton of compliments on it. I just purchased an amazing St. John's dress at a consignment shop that looks like it was tailored to fit me! For 1/20th of the original price! I wore it to dinner the other night, and I felt like a million bucks! Love a great bargain.

[@jameyfisher423]

Thanks Erin! Next please do a long look book for all kinds of winter outfits! I want to watch how you pair everything!!!! With a ton of ideas!!!! You’re the best

[@BusbeeStyle]

I think about those and then wonder if they are outfit overload? When I'm watching one, I kind of glaze over after a while...that's why I usually do 3 ways. What do you think??

[@jameyfisher423]

Busbee Style ya I can see your point there! However, I love looking at them on Pinterest! 7 pieces 20 ways! Those kind! But, we like anything from you! 🥰😘

[@jjelimbi]

You are a Gift. Difficult to become elegant and chic. It’s in the blood to be Elegant: it’s a Gift.

[@evapayte1293]

Love you videos!!!Straight to the point...And you’re right expensive brands doesn’t equate to lux or sophistication....

[@deniseoates7147]

Check, check, a.....nd check. All seem to be covered but I do need a black pair of jeans. The sleek hair bonus, I see you caught yourself on it a bit, because not all people have sleek hair, textures varies where it might look frizzy to some but it their style. Better wording is well maintained/healthy hair. Also you don't have to break the bank to get these items. They are all available at your nearby thrift store. Yaaazzz Thanks for sharing you

[@billielawson3329]

Oh you do help me~~~ ir so impacts me by dressing well but not look like I tried too hard. So happy you are doing videos for each season. Cant wait! This is so much fun- your videos are fun. You can even add faux fur touches by buying some touches of faux fur in touches in at the wrist or yes even easy to do lapels- just trace it and use magnets. I am looking for the long coat. A longer one on my list. I am crazy for winter white-one of my favorite things. Thank you for the belt comment over coat. I cant wait to try it! How many years to get the structured bag! Also the other kind I look in and its like a black hole- where are things. Wow I am learning very important things- yes they do work. Thank You for helping me!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad this one was helpful! The annual Nordstrom sale often has a great selection of coats. For more information on the sale you can visit: busbeestyle.com/nordstrom-sale/

[@juliea.]

Great video! I finally figured out which actress you remind me of: Heather Graham! 😀

[@goodwillbunny5773]

Please make a trip to the big city and make a video on thrift shopping. And show us how you can buy an outfit from the 2nd market--like eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, and The Real Real...here in Phoenix, we wore light-weight winter clothing in December, but it's 72 during the day now. Yesterday I packed up my winter clothing, suede shoes, and plaid scarves, and it was a sad event for me...from Grandma Bunny.

[@joannohalloran9632]

Great ideas, I don't know why I'm not getting my notifications when you post. I'm glad I search for your videos every day. Have a good night.

[@367Play]

👍 tips. Kind of amusing, walking about salt and peppered with logos looks cheap to me. As if brands have duped people into spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on cotton tees, ugly sneakers, fabric totes with their names emblazoned on everything. Subtlety, classics, neutrals, well-fitting pieces, are the basis of looking elevated. Throw in a pop of something to make it standout,,,not 10 pops of something. (Plus, those logo heavy statement items will “expire” quickly compared to pieces that aren’t identified instantly.) That’s just the opinion of a fashion loving girl in a nonfashion-focused job and life. Thanks for the great video!

[@justme-dee6888]

Yes yes yes!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm with you!!

[@akamelrod8872]

Thank you for all of your tips! I have started implementing them in simple ways and have immediately started getting compliments from others...but more importantly I have the confidence now to put together a classy outfit on my own! I have always struggled because I've worn uniforms for work and school my whole life. When I needed to wear something other than a uniform I would panic LOL...not anymore! Thanks Erin 🙌🏼

[@akamelrod8872]

PS...I sent your link to my sister, aslo!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Aww thank you!!

[@lisamartinstaff5321]

Thanks Erin. Great tips. One problem I have is with hats (and I only wear them because it's cold). I have a large head and I just don't know/can't find one that looks great and does the job. Hoping you can help!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Lisa! I just wrote a post on my blog last week about wearing hats. Here is a link... busbeestyle.com/2019/11/14/womens-hat-styles/

[@juliechambers7652]

Erin, You said sometime last year not to overdo logos. I saw someone wearing 3-4 logos after that and I have to say you are so right! She didn’t look expensive at all. Subtle is the best way to go! Thanks for some great tips!

[@tplayspiano]

Thank you- I look forward to your videos every week-keep them coming!

[@SpringFlowers537]

The quality of your videos is much appreciated!

[@ceecee7879]

Loving the 10 Ways series! Plus the high end and affordable choices offered gets a big 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@RenataMarie]

As always, I continue to learn so much from your channel. Thanks for sharing, don't stop, I'm always motivated after watching!

[@kimberleydownes3411]

Love your hair better this way , Erin. It gives your face more softness.

[@astraholmes8751]

I love colourful winter coats, things get so drab in outwear for winter. I used your how to be warm and stylish winter layering idea, with a mid season colourful silk coat and puffa jacket combo and my cosy cashmere scarf . I love it. Thanks for the tips

[@BusbeeStyle]

I agree! ~Erin xo

[@mariaraquelsanchez7909]

Great!! Can you do a video about nails? I think those are part of a great outfit too. Thanks!

[@patriciaviana6300]

You’re definitely my favorite fashion influencer. Thanks for being honest and down the earth 😊 It helps us to be fashion without breaking the bank 😊

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Patricia! xo

[@kimkkillen]

Erin, could you do a video on how to pair reds and pinks for Valentines Day and Spring?? I do not want to look like a clown, but know you can pull it off and look amazing!!! Thanks for all you do! Blessings to you and your sweet family!!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

That's a great idea! ~Erin xo

[@tamaramarion7830]

Traveling to Prague and Vienna over the Christmas holidays. Need travel wear tips for winter.

[@PracticalPip]

Great video and very good tips! I love how professional this video is too.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! Yes, I love the way this is edited also... reminds me that I don't always have to shoot video cutaways

[@TheT74]

This was awesome 👏🏾! I swear your videos and info get better each time!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Aww thanks! ~Erin xo

[@marilyngray4148]

Erin, this is another great video! Awesome tips. You are classic & stylish, the perfect combination. Love those Rag & Bone jeans & I've recommended them to friends because of you. Thanks for all of your hard work. You are an inspiration!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! ~Erin xo

[@CaroXoli]

One of the best video :) can’t wait for the other seasons. One question though: is it possible to publish it a little before the seasons? Publishing the spring version before spring, summer version before summer etc. Xoxo from Paris

[@foconnor2794]

GORGEOUS outfits GORGEOUS girl¡¡¡

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! xo

[@rainbowyahi]

I love your shoe tips, as they are so specific and practical. I struggle with finding tall boots because my calves are so muscular and big. Pair that with wide feet with bunions, and I feel like I can never find a stylish shoe that fits without spending $200+. Cherish your narrow feet!

[@gapeach51170]

I found a pair of vintage high waisted leather pants at a yard sale last summer and paid $1 ..yes! one buck. Such a score. I wore them yesterday :) I also have a "vegan" pair from Free People moto style that I found on FB marketplace for $20 :) I love that you mention consignment stores because you can dress really nice on a budget!

[@BusbeeStyle]

How awesome! ~Erin xo

[@kimberleydownes3411]

OH! Love the sleek jeans.....so tired of all the rips, etc. Than ks , Erin!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad! ~Erin xo

[@kirstenglae]

God, what I would do for your closet girl!!! I absolutely love style and clothes, but as I have gotten older, I notice I rarely wear all the beautiful clothing I own. I have always been naturally thin, and I work out at least 5 times a week. I always feel better when I put on makeup and get dressed, I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it. Any tips for that? Maybe see a therapist, lol!!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I know what you are feeling and I think a lot of it is this time of year... we feel like we are SUPPOSED to feel re-energized and motivated, but really all you want to do is hibernate. It hit me hard this year and I'm slowly working my way out of it. Make dates for yourself. See friends, go on a trip...that will help inspire you to get out of your yoga pants and into something a little more glam. xoxo

[@MannyWC]

I have a recommendation. Plan an outing at least 3 x a week. Lunch date, you go to a museum, etc alone, shopping, whatever... this motivates me to doll up and feel good. I hope that helps

[@wolfgangproductions7402]

Busbee Style I am also hibernating just want to stay in my sweatpants just having the winter time blues here in New York...

[@em_boricuafina89]

So true!!!! I pull out my white coat and heads turn, I love it 😁. Love the video, thank you, and yes please do one for each season

[@Dwightinho56]

Totally agree with you that the expensive clothing don't give you style. Actually it can seem a bit tacky. Especially these days with the logo mania back. It's how you style your outfit. Love winter whites too, and use it effectively. I stick out like a sore thumb here🇳🇴 as everyone wears black and blue in the winter😉

[@charliesimmons2312]

I am loving your look, Erin. You look fresh and ready for a new year! Great video.

[@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082]

Hi Erin. Great tips, thank you! The last one about confidence and smile is the best! Waiting for your next video!

[@cindymitchell8141]

Please help with eyeglass/sunglass selection information for different facial shapes. Great video. Thanks.

[@BusbeeStyle]

That would be a great video idea! Thank you, Cindy! xo

[@khadhraaryan5470]

Hi Erin, thank you for sharing your tips. I don't normally comment on videos but I just want to let you know that you're doing an amazing job. I am trying to get back looking good after an unsuccessful pregnancy. I want to let you know that I've almost finished watching your videos this past weekend. G'day from Australia.

[@nuvoclassic]

great video tips - but the final 90 seconds are worth their weight in gold! thank you

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad that you found it helpful! xo

[@terrihanson6761]

Another great video Erin! Always on point with so much information!

[@ladymary7146]

Great video Erin. Your skin looks amazing today ❤️

[@empressouful]

Great tips. And that Celine bag...yum! 😉

[@sgodbout2213]

Great tips. I love winter layering! Today I'm actually wearing the tan, merino wool, turtleneck you featured. It is the perfect weight! My only pet peeve is that I have a difficult time finding a 32" inseam. There are many sites that you really have to dig to find out what the inseam length is. The NYDJ is 29", Rag and Bone is 27".

[@BusbeeStyle]

I know...the lengths and SIZES all vary so much now. It's really hard. I wish they would have some sort of uniform sizing.

[@karenyun3852]

I love all black with the long camel coat look! Love your channel💖

[@lovemychacha]

As always Erin, Great Tips to live by!

[@thrifthaula5118]

I loved this video! I just love to take it all in, make mental notes and put together outfits in my head. You are so talented and so creative. I appreciate your videos so much! xoxo, Cynthia

can you share the link for the earrings you are wearing? they look absolutely gorgeous!

[@DianeRowland1]

Wonderful tips Erin! Thanks so much!

[@justme-dee6888]

Thanks for the tip on the black suade knee high boots as an alternative to the over the knee boot. I'm well into my 50s and don't feel comfortable with the over-the-knee boot. So I think I'll give your suggestion a try. :-) Thanks!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Wonderful! ~Erin xo

[@marcilk7534]

I love that cable knit sweater. I’m wearing mine today, but I’m not looking rich. Those tall boots though, wish I could get them over my big calves.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Haha...no?? Why not, Marci?

[@AmandaFitPanda]

Great tips, Erin! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@tammieparrishmiller3669]

Erin, I was telling you a month or so ago I was telling you about my new coat and you asked for a pic. I went to have photos taken at a beautiful tree house but the coat was just to big and pics didn't turn out, so I sent it back and got a smaller size and LOVE it! I just have to get photos done again. It's design is very much like the light brown coat you're wearing at 3:32 in the middle picture with the wide lapel but no hood on mine. Should I email the pic to you when I get it? Thanks! Tammie XO!

[@terriallen779]

Thanks, Erin for the great video. I have a question for you. I have a wide gold herringbone choker. Are they in anymore? I never wear it anymore because I just don't know. Your input would be greatly appreciated and you won't offend me if you say, no, no, no!!! LOL

[@dianethompson9525]

I know that skinny jeans are all it, but I’m plus sized, and I think chubbier women look even heavier in skinny jeans!! Would a straight cut, or boot cut jean look totally out of style?

[@keelyjohnson2893]

Love your newsletter and always enjoy your advice. I recently received APL phantom tech athletic shoes in sea salt from my Trunk club . Have you tried this line? Many many colors and very streamline . I have two questions how do I know the shade of pinkor neutral that is best for my skin tone? Or with sneakers does it depend more on how you style your athletic wear? Keep in mind only 5’3”. This brand seems very streamlined. Keep the athletic look less in your face.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I took it down because there were so many negative comments. BUT... i have a leggings blog coming out soon and it's with plain black leggings, but you can easily wear your Spanx ones!! Stay tuned! Erin xo

[@sugarmagnolia7647]

It was an awesome video too. People were honestly being so over the top in my opinion. People didnt like that every single outfit she put together didnt have a long tunic top that went down to her knees. Every outfit she put together was awesome but apparently people are confused about the difference between a cotton legging is and a thicker leather like material eminating leather pants. Grr lol it bothers to see great material being taken down due to ppl that are seriously questioning an expert, but you gotta love tgat she appreciates and respects her subs opinions. Cant complain with that 😊
