Can You REALLY Afford a French Girl Summer Capsule Wardrobe?

[@jjsquad8898]

So, a few days ago, I discovered your channel and found myself bingeing about 5 of your videos in a row. You so inspired me, I ended the day by taking out many articles of clothing from my closet and throwing things together that I never previously would have thought would go! Then, the next day my daughter and I went thrifting (as we have been doing for decades), and I swear, Diana, you have opened up my eyes, because I found a whole bunch of things I would never have even looked at before! Not only that, but when I got them home, I immediately began styling them with the few scarves (sadly, very few silk ones) and jackets and other pieces I own, and I had a blast! I'm 78 and sad that it took me this long to fully enjoy clothes, but better late than never! Love, love, love your channel; you are amazing.

[@unblahyourself]

Ahhhhh this is AMAZING! I'm so happy for you! Welcome Queen Baddie! 😘

[@deniseyounger6004]

I’ve been binging as well. So glad I found you🦋

[@SajorRaga]

Oh, man, this just made my day. I'm 58 and have been feeling like I needed something different in my wardrobe. Love it, that at 78, you're finding this. Better late than never! I live in Costa Rica, a transplant from Portland, Oregon four years ago. The first year, I couldn't find a thrift store. I mentioned it to a Costa Rican friend and she said, "Oh, here they are called "Americanas" Funny! Next time I go, I'll be looking for STATEMENT pieces and some basics as well. Good luck thrifting, jjsquad!

[@gailwilliams5278]

That red dress is fantastic - without the belt but especially with it!

It was very nice and light! A nice piece. 😍

Ha! I doubt it but I do thank you!!

[@AWanderingEye]

This was so fun, I really appreciated the math at the end! I don't have any plans to go to France nor to take a vacation, but if I did, all I'd add is a swimsuit and maybe a thin black cardigan (to wear when the occasion requires it). And a sunhat. That's really all. Good job shopping!

[@frandongignac6256]

Just found your channel and I love your style. I'm much older than you (72) and would love to see if you have any ideas for my age. Can you come shopping with me...😂 ?

[@valiaudet3415]

Wear what you like. There isn't an age section for women that I have seen anywhere.

[@ladycactus110]

I agree with valiaudet! Anything she showed can be worn by women of any age. It’s all about the confidence. Who cares if our bodies aren’t smooth and Barbie doll-like? It’s not like we’re out to seduce the guys now that we’re in our 70s! 😅 Plus, the scarves and cardigans can camouflage a lot of imperfections. Edit: just subscribed! ❤

[@unblahyourself]

Right! There's no age limit on clothes, only comfort levels and everyone's comfort level is different! I mostly only style a short skirt or shorts to encourage older women to try it. I'm 47 and a lot of my friends my age don't do it for many reasons: cellulite, spider veins, out of shape, but some of them just don't do it because they think they shouldn't. I'm just trying to get our heads out of that type of thinking for older gals. If you've watched my French Girl Style Principles video, there are so many principles in there that you can adopt at any age for any comfort level. I wish I could come shopping with all of you!

[@rutamurphy6656]

I really like her mouth as well. It keeps me focused on what she's saying, in a way, too :) She is just a very beautiful woman. The way her mouth moves when she talks is (I don't want to be in trouble to being weird or anything, so I hope I am not misunderstood) ..but it is sexy. Ok. There was a rap artist called "Fabulous" (90s), and he had a chipped front tooth. I thought it was very sexy. He later "fixed" it, and 'the magic' was gone; he became 'just another dude'. Hope this made sense. ❤Her, ❤the chanel, ❤ the comments. Mia

Parisian chic is masculine and feminine mixed. 🙂 it’s also a mix of dressy and casual.

[@unblahyourself]

[@Teewriter]

I really don’t know where the word Shacket came from. But there’s already a word for that kind of shirt it’s called an overblouse. Not meant to be tucked in, worn over the waistband of a skirt or trousers. Overblouse.

When you say the jeans are "thick" I am not sure what you mean. It seems to me that these "thick" jeans are just normal denim, right? I mean, I know there's some super-thick denim out there--I'm imagining workwear like Carhartt or Dickies, but your jeans are not as thick as those. I have owned some pretty thin stuff in the past, but I feel like I am not seeing it these days...or maybe I just ignore it at the thrift store and pretend it doesn't exist. Like I know you are def NOT talking about those stretchy jeans that everyone hates now, and jeggings...well those were never actual jeans in the first place, if you ask me.

[@unblahyourself]

Right, I think a better way to explain it, is it's the kind of denim that isn't stretchy. It's thick and unyielding like most jeans in the 80s were.
