Thank you for saying that if you buy classic and strategic pieces from fast fashion and take care of them they can look expensive and last. I agree and I think too many influencers shame us for not purchasing higher priced items, which are therefore automatically considered "quality" pieces. Not everyone has a budget for that, but everyone wants to look nice.

Also, wearing clothes that fits you properly and is your correct size...I love the white dress you wore with the 'wing' in the back, but I thought the navy dress was the most expensive.

yes absolutely you have to get the right size. Thank you
@le.13872 жыл бұрын
and buying your correct size will save you so much more money in the long run. I know I can squeeze into a size L but a size XL looks the best on me and I'm more likely to reach out for that piece over the size L where I'll most likely be adjusting myself for the rest of the day.

I have refused to purchase numerous coats and blazers in the store because of the cheap buttons. It never dawned on me to just buy some new buttons!!

@AlwayzShey I agree! It’s definitely always about knowing how to dress your body. I see a lot of plus size women who just absolutely Look amazing because they know how to dress for their bodies, VS the slim/thin people. Kristen is absolutely gorgeous and her fashion sense is amazing, but I wouldn’t call her “petite”, as she mentioned in her get to know me video that she’s almost 5ft 8, and people who are petite are 5’3 and under. You can be plus size and still petite. ❤️❤️

Hey side note… can you do a video on your top niche fragrances 😀. So I thought the first dress was the most expensive. Just from my viewpoint, the fabric itself , the color and style of the dress made it look more expensive. I’m a seamstress, so I totally agree that the fabric choice can definitely make the garment look more expensive or not. Also, I’ve realized that it’s not always how much you spend on an outfit , it’s how you rock it! You can make an inexpensive outfit look expensive with your confidence, accessories, your undergarments and how you carry yourself.

Fabulous! I'm in my 50s and believe a woman should always look well put together. Call me old-fashioned... I have pieces in my closet that are 10, 15 years old. I still get stopped, complimented on them, and asked where they're from. Some designer, some fast fashion. So yes investment in good classic pieces is a given in my book.

Hey Kristen, I love shopping online at Zappos. I’ve found some great deals on clothing and shoes. Also, the delivery of your items are fast. In the beginning I would have chosen the black dress. However, the rust dress drapes differently based on the fabric. I’m quite sure the rust dress is silk which is more expensive. But, everything was lovely. Thanks for the wonderful tips. Stay blessed as always.🙏🏾🤎

I am not good with fabrics yet -- since I thought the rust colored dress was the least expensive. All of the dresses look very classy though. Great tips and no matter what your socioeconomic background -- I agree with you that you should mix and match price points when putting an outfit together. Also, the tip about being well put together is another great tip that everyone should integrate into their own personal style. I know you will be taking a break for awhile -- so looking forward to when you are back posting great videos. Thoroughly enjoyed the video! Stay safe. 🙂
