how to look expensive on a budget is to actually think about things like budget

when I get things on sale I feel like they feel even better and look better

because I'm just walking around being like yeah I got this 50% part of my

collaboration with RetailMeNot is to introduce to you that we tell me not

Jeannie thing the RetailMeNot Jeannie is a browser extension that you download

onto your computer that basically is doing the work for you for finding deals

like tell me how much fun you save because that makes me happy thanks again

for RetailMeNot for partnering up and sponsoring this video thank you for this

amazing tip really excited to share with my audience

and now we are back to the other tips tip number two is focusing on neutral

colors this is by no means letting you know that everything you need to wear is

white but let me tell you when I see people that are wearing neutral palette

there's something that gives you that like expensive of by pairing neutral

color like grays and whites and beige even like soft pinks and blues all of

these colors are really happening this season and I love seeing these colors in

the winter you can stay away from blacks it's those neutral warm soft tones that

really bring that Ralph Lauren feel but I would also focus not only on neutral

colors but also on textures and fabrics that actually look more expensive for

example this weather this was not expensive at all but the texture and

fabric of it makes it look so luxurious and fluffy tip number three is keeping

your jewelry and accessories to a minimum the trend today is minimal

dainty pieces and I love it I feel like it really elevates every look I'm

talking about those little dainty strings I am obsessed with my little

dainty necklaces this is my kids initials and this is just an evil eye

these are something that first of all you can layer I'm also talking about

little gold earrings that I'm sure you've seen me wear just that little

thing of gold and metal are absolutely beautiful

I would personally stay away from colorful jewelry unless you are going

out and you really want to show up so just those dainty little accessories

would really bring that soft and sophisticated look that we're trying to

achieve and I'm gonna link my favorites in the description box so you guys can

check it out if you're wearing neutral clothing you can also add a scarf that

just elevates the look a little bit or even a hat but please make sure to stay

away from any crazy colors from crazy shapes and textures and really

focus on just clean and crisp you can see in my content how I like to mix low

end and mid and type of clothing and designer bags you don't have to invest

and buy expensive everything if you are on the market for any bags that can make

you look expensive really focus on something that structured a great

example of a designer bag that is going for that structure and minimalistic and

no local look is a saline bag this is a great example of a designer bag that is

very understated so if you're looking for a bag that more affordable focus on

those kind of shapes where it's more structured very clean no crazy logos no

crazy colors no one will know it's designer it's not designer who cares tip

number four I'm sure that a lot of these videos of how to look expensive they'll

suggest to invest in quality staple pieces that will kind of stay in your

closet for years so some of the items that I would recommend to have in your

closet that you can either invest in or that you can find a really good option

in affordable places are overcoats leather jackets you can find staple

pieces in places that are more affordable like Zara or mango or H&M

there's a lot of places online where you can find great pieces and I'm again

gonna link my favorites below thrifting by the way it's also a great way to find

amazing pieces on a budget I have quite a bit of over coat jackets that I've

been wearing for like over seven eight year it's a trickle finding an

affordable yet quality piece is really making sure that the fabric is there you

can find a lot of these items that are mixed with wool and cashmere for great

prices you want to make sure that the details looks like nothing too crazy

pockets are done nice the tailoring is nice do a quality check before you

purchase that item touch the fabric see if it catches every little flock that is

in the air please make sure to invest in this little guy I can't tell you what a

difference it makes on your clothes when you have this in your bag I'm making

sure that my overcoats are always clean it really makes a difference those

little details that when you do purchase those items make

sure that you're really looking at it as a long-term and not short-term so don't

buy that crazy neon blue jacket because it's neon is hot right now please invest

in pieces that are timeless tip number five is hailer your clothes I can't tell

you how much of a difference those twenty dollars that you invest in pants

that you found or a jacket that you found will elevate the look and make you

feel good about yourself and that outfit I often go to thrift stores and get

really cool pieces but they're never exactly the way I wanted to sit on my

body so it will always go to a seamstress I'll pay that fifteen twenty

dollars and I make sure that it fits me just right the fit is really what makes

an outfit look expensive when I find pieces that would say I love

the feel of it I love to look at it and they don't fit again it doesn't deter me

from buying them it's just I will always calculate that seamstress services in

that price a lot of my like Zara pieces H&M pieces things that are more

affordable are mostly old tailored I'll always make sure that they fit my waist

they sit well that the length is just right again these are services that are

accessible for anybody or maybe even you the type of person that can do those

alterations yourself if you don't know how to do it don't try just go and pay

that fifteen dollars please I try to tailor something myself once and that

was a big big no-no here's an example of a skirt that I bought at a thrift store

and it was actually like sighs well I knew that I loved the look of it I just

really needed to basically cut half of it off so I took it to a seamstress I

pay my $15 and I got this amazing Scottish skirt that I absolutely love

tip number six is take care of your clothes make sure they're not

discoloured hold or even wrinkly I personally steam all my clothing before

I wear them and leave the house I feel like it's just make sure that all this

effort that I put in this outfit really shows and I look more polished it's just

a little steamer a hand steamer that I got from

I'm gonna link it below there's nothing that I hate more than wearing wrinkly

clothes so I even travel with this in my suitcase most of the time to make sure

that I don't look like a slob if you buy any clothing that requires only

dry-cleaning please make sure that's what you do and then the last and

obvious tip is take care of this I did a video of ways to look more attractive

that I'm gonna link here and you guys can see my quick tips and things that

you should always kind of have in the back of your mind before you leave the

house these tips very much apply to how to look expensive it's just making sure

that your hair is tamed if it's dirty pull it back I mean God knows I love my

bun especially nowadays as a mom to a newborn that bun is on me 24/7 invested

it looks like a you know wash my hair and took a shower make sure that your

makeup looks good and fresh always have rosewater mist on hand just to freshen

up your your face and make it glowy and look fresh don't use any products that

just don't stay or flake a fall another thing that's very important is nails if

you can commit to get that nail polish looking amazing

don't wear any nail polish I don't have time to make sure that my manicure looks

good so I go on a completely bare look on my nails and this doesn't attract any

unnecessary attention it's those little details and small little things that

people notice that are like having those multi-purpose products that I love so
