Transcripts

Point number one, white trousers, white jeans,

white shorts, white skirts, white denim shorts,

white denim skirts. It doesn't matter.

Anything white in this department is gonna elevate your look so much

this spring, and this can be done on any budget.

If you want to buy any of the items that I mentioned today,

visit the description box below because I'm gonna recommend some similar items

for you to purchase on the budget.

Point number two, colorful trousers.

So we are talking spring now and actually

now is a time to really pull out those colors.

And if you start wearing color on your trouser and I'm not talking about jeans

now, I'm talking about a proper tailored trouser.

You're going to see how many opportunities you're gonna create

in your wardrobe

for new, exciting color combinations and outfits.

But it's also a little bit more fun to wear color in spring.

Now is the time to pull out those pastels,

those bright colors and really store away those dark boring musky colors that

we really saw all winter. We don't wanna see them anymore.

And the good news ladies, the colorful trouser, you can wear it on any budget,

which is why I included it on today's list.

It's not gonna cost you extra to change your color from boring to something fun

and exciting on your trouser. Now, before I continue,

this Monday, I am hosting a live workshop.

There are style truths that they don't want you to know.

And I'm gonna reveal that because there are reasons to why ladies,

you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear,

and we're gonna fix that. So make sure you go to.

and register

The invitation is absolutely free of charge. I will see then.

Point number three,

another perfect way to look elevated on the budget is when you wear

loafers or even slip in loafers kind of mules,

loafers mule. How do you call them?

Anyway,

super chic definitely is gonna look good with your white trousers or

even colored trousers. Because traditionally speaking,

the loafer is a very preppy,

very classic and very sophisticated type of footwear.

So it would be a shame for you not include it in your wardrobe as a standard

piece to have, especially now when it's spring and summertime.

Point number four, the sleeveless turtleneck,

or the short sleeved turtleneck. So we are moving away from winter, from fall.

We're storing those turtlenecks away and you know,

turtleneck always makes a woman look incredibly elegant and sophisticated.

But it's not too hot yet because we're still in spring.

So we can wear a few turtlenecks if the sleeve is cut off.

And actually I'm gonna show you an example here right now.

I'm actually wearing a pair of white slip in mules, loafer style.

I'm also wearing white trousers,

and then I'm wearing this incredible nice turtleneck without sleeves.

And look ladies, how expensive does this look, look. And great news,

you can do this on a budget. This doesn't have to cost you much at all,

but still you look like a million dollars. Guess why? The choice of color,

the choice of style, and of course I chose it.

So I know what I'm talking about.

Sorry. I had to be cheeky there.

Number five,

I have spoken about this garment in my hauls many times now,

and every woman needs to have this piece in her wardrobe because this is a

staple piece.

Talking about the shirt dress and spring is the perfect time to wear it

because it's not yet too hot, like in summer,

but we might want to get rid of those sleeves.

But it can also work as a great piece for women who are more interested in

modest fashion. So I personally wear shirt dresses all year round actually.

I really like to wear it as an everyday piece of garment. Point number six,

let's just pause there at a shirt dress for a little bit,

because what would be really nice to add to this shirt dress is a thin

belt.

A medium thick can also work or even sometimes a wider belt too,

but in particular, the thin belt in brown color.

Look what a great combination this looks like. Maybe in this picture,

she's wearing a little bit of designer items,

but truly you can recreate this look on the budget without having to really make

a lot of effort. Because first things first, if you go to the high street,

you can find many shirt dresses in fast fashion stores,

and you can also find many thin brown belts, similar styles that cost you,

I don't know, $20-$30 or up to $50.

But look how much elevated this look will look,

you're gonna look so sophisticated this spring so enjoy.

Number seven.

So one secret that I'm generously gonna share with you on how to look

put together and expensive.

Well that is when you wear matching sets of coordinates.

So the point here is that your top should be matching the trouser, the skirt,

whatever it is you're wearing,

it should come from exactly the same brand from the same collection,

from the same family. So here, because it's a matching set,

it somehow just looks more coordinated and it elevates the entire look.

I like in particular matchy silk set.

I think they look incredibly chic and silk is one of those type of fabrics that

always look expensive. This doesn't have to cost a lot of money.

You can find great budget alternative in satin, which tends to be cheaper.

Number eight, expensive looking sneakers.

I do recommend everyone to own a pair of nice hybrid sneaker. You know,

when the sneaker is kind of a sneaker,

but also like a leather shoe at the same time, if possible,

because that combination just elevates the look.

And you can't find these type of sneakers in fast fashion stores,

but the secret is to look for sneakers that are very minimal.

It shouldn't be all kinds of weird detailing

and preferably free from any metal.

Like we don't want to see, I don't know,

golden or silver detailing on the shoe because the high street tends to make

that look incredibly low budget. Instead, we want something that is as simple,

as minimal, as discreet as possible. And therefore,

it's gonna look more expensive than it actually is.

And the good news is that sneakers don't cost a lot of money to produce.

So for this reason, you don't necessarily have to buy designer sneakers.

Number nine, the tweed mini skirt. So fall and winter,

we could maybe pull it off if we were tights underneath,

but in spring we can actually go bare leg.

And the tweed mini skirt is definitely

going to be more popular with my younger audience,

but I do believe even ladies,

my age could definitely pull it off

as long as you know how to style it correctly.

I definitely like tweed mini skirt because it gives you more of a preppy look.

It also has a form of sophistication to it.

The good news is tweed mini skirts are really everywhere right now.

So you're able to pick something up on the cheap, either low cost budget,

because truly you can find them everywhere.

I'm sure you can even find it at a local market or something like that at this point.

Number 10, every woman should have these in spring.

I'm talking about the oversized sunglasses classic Jackie O

inspired sunglasses that are just big,

beautiful and covers up your face nicely when you don't wanna be seen.

In my next videos, 10 ways to look expensive on the budget and summer,

I'm gonna give you more tips that's going to prepare you for the next season,

which is happening very soon. I will see you in that video.
