    Everyday people don't have that kind of money to blow on clothes. Personally, I don't think it's how much you paid for it, but what you do with it. I think you can look just as nice in cheaper clothes. Especially if your body is super fit. A body that's in shape, can look good in anything.

      Half of those labels he mentioned well most I have never heard of. A lot of high end labels are UGLY! I think too much pressure is placed on labels and not just looking nice and presentable. Life is stressful enough. How much we pay for what we wear SHOULDNT add to it. I don’t care to spend a lot on clothes. That’s not where my priorities are.

    I think there’s a deeper meaning behind how we dress, like if we’re confident or insecure. I think women who dress too provocatively or too modesty sometimes struggle with issues of self-worth and self-love. It’s so important to heal so you can be our truest self.

    I never was or will be a label person. I dress according to my personality and how the clothes look on my body. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. I present myself well, smell and look good. And I stand out. I don't blend in. I'm very confident in what I wear. I understand the message though.

    One of the things a lot of people around me never liked was that I invested into my image. When I changed my wardrobe 3 years ago to a more lady like luxury appearance people and mainly men respond to me differently and gave me a new level of respect. Investing into your wardrobe is very important due to how people treat you based on the room or circles you want to be associated with. I find your best investment is within yourself and if you want to elevate you have to make the change! I am happy I am not the only one who understand this logic!

    Ladies don’t let this message discourage you from buying clothes from Ross, Charlotte Rouse etc. Buy what you can afford. It’s all about how you put yourself together. I’ve seen women rock an Aldo bag & shoes who look like a million bucks and others in Balenciaga that look like trash ! Class. That’s what matters. Also, do not put yourself in debt trying to get all these name brands. Wealthy, high caliber people don’t give a shit about that. Only the superficial ones do - and we don’t want superficial people in our lives anyway 💕💕

    @CarmenLifeCoach 3 года назад +25

    One of my biggest passions in life is fashion (i also have a small online boutique since 2011) and one of the things that i know is that money don't make you stylish or classy, fashion is not about spending hundreds and thousands of dollars only on the biggest designer brands and throwing them on you thinking now you have style. No matter how much money i would have, i would never spend it on expensive items that look like $5-$10 common average clothing or rags. So it's not about the brand name, it's about how special, high-quality and unique that item is. You can create yourself an entire awesome wardrobe buying online on sale and clearance as i do, you just have to be passionate and patient to keep your eyes out for unique beautiful garments and accessories that will form your own personal style.

    Give me a guy with some khakis and a polo all day long! I never cared about name brands. My best friend & my brother are obsessed with keeping up with name brands. So she always dated dope dealers. She had the latest Louie 💼 , but she was abused. And my brother tried to be Nino Brown. So I’m good on that. I dress comfortably, and have a fashion sense where I can make anything look like a million bucks. I’m starting to be approached by white men more, although that’s not what I’m trying to attract. My only problem is how to step out my comfort zone, and give them a chance.

    I struggle a bit with perception. I love my style but I feel like I dress too young sometimes. I am 30 but I have a younger looking face, and I have a lot of innocence in me. I will wear a bright yellow shirt tucked into a red, flared patterned knee length skirt, with denim tennis shoes. Love comfy, colorful clothing but this specific look can’t be called grown and sophisticated. More like happy, artistic, and energetic. Have never wanted to be a buttoned up professional. I also never wanted to grow up too fast.

    The key to clothing is to shop high and low. If you are in a position where you are still building your bank account or can't afford brand name clothing, then by all means utilize places like forever 21 etc, shop basics/classics, not whats in for the moment. Invest in a good pair of heels, jacket, and jewelry to pull your look together. Regardless to if you are natural or not, make sure your hair is pulled together. Use a good whitening tooth paste, and avoid cheap body spray and perfumes, do spend on a quality fragrance. If you are over a certain age avoid large logos, you are not a walking billboard... when have you ever seen execs, doctors, lawyers, etc wearing that type of attire. They may have it on, but its not like hey look at me I got on Gucci. Its usually a very small logo if anything especially anyone over 35, but at the end of the day wear what makes you happy you only have one life to live....

    I'm sad that most comments here are defensive. Most miss THE point. I'm older, 70, like classic clothes and basically ignored the message he is sharing.
    UNTIL, when at 55 a real estate board exec who had hired me for a 5 DAY seminar quietly told me my attire was NOT high caliber enough for my attendees.
    My students were Realtors and attorneys. I was recognized as THE industry's leading foreclosure expert at the time. My fee of $2,500 per day, plus expenses was reflective of the fact that I was THE EXPERT. I was travelling as a national, well paid, well regarded speaker. I wasn't dressing the part.
    I appreciated her candor. I didn't appreciate THESE people evaluating my KNOWLEDGE based on THEIR standard of what an expert looks like. After considering it prayerfully I decided to upgrade my clothes. I had already upgraded my shoes because you can't stand all day and speak I. 60.00 shoes, (my old standard) like you can in 150-200 shoes. (my new standard)
    I came from a poor, southern A American background. God made me smart and elevated me but I didn't have life experiences, mentors ( or Tony Gaston) to tell me I was a diamond, in a paper bag.
    I did learn, I did adapt, jewelry, hair everything. And went on to do well until God gave me a new assignment.
    Listen to Tony and apply WISDOM, to suit your situation, your goal, your Intent. I had a message to be delivered so I needed to be dressed as a messanger who would be received.
    Pray. Adjust as needed.
    In Christian love, Ms. Millie

    I love the concept of this video and the strong message it carries. I am a black woman in my early twenties and a college student. I’m a little over 5’5 and have quite a slim build - I’ve always been this way. I have what you’d describe a rectangle shaped body. Therefore, I have the ‘straight up and down’ type with a flat chest and bottom. I’ve struggled since my teen years with my body confidence. I’m African and the bodies that are accepted more are curvier ones. Unfortunately do not fit that group. I am a Christian too and I believe that of course I am wonderfully made by God. But it’s truly crushing when I feel I can never look amazing in clothing. I sometimes try to wear clothes and styles that suit my body type but even so those styles sometimes aren’t really ‘my style’. It’s hard to feel good in a body I dislike. I am healthy which I am very grateful for. I rarely show my skin or other body parts such a breasts. If anything my upper chest or arms may be on show. I love fashion and have a good sense of style. It just sucks when other girls can wear the simplest of clothes, I.e skinny jeans and a nice top and look 10/10. I know that most guys in particular do not find my body shape attractive and it’s such a hard pill to swallow. I accept the way I’ve been made and don’t dress provocatively or showing too much, but when other girls get attention and fawned over so much, it’s hard to be on the other side. How do I come to terms with this and not let it get to me so much?

      At the end of the day, we have to learn to accept and love ourselves. You have your own unique identity and purpose. God did not make us using a cookie cutter. Who will receive you, let them be attracted to you for being your authentic self. Point blank. Other than that, you'll spend your life chasing an identity that's not yours. I have learned to embrace and be me: my style, my uniqueness, etc. I value a nice presentation for sure and I get the message, but will not allow pop culture to dictate my worth. So be encouraged and embrace the you God created you to be.

I am slim too with mini curves but I embrace it. We have miniature model body 😊 because we are short and slim. Quick style tips- high waisted gap jeans with a solid color cropped t shirt or a-lined dresses or Adidas black track joggers with zipper near ankle with white tee & jean jacket. Small women have to accentuated their best features i.e. if you have great legs were shorts or skirts that stop just above your knee ( not too short). Don't worry Sis you will love your body once you're older or have children ❤️

    We are announcing our standards with our dress code when we are presenting ourselves to others, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Naomi instructed Ruth to wash, anoint herself and put a cloak around her and to lay at Boaz feet. Esther along with the hundreds of other young virgins had to go through a beauty ritual/spa treatment (cleansing & purification process) for an entire year and they were give the best jewerly and clothing to chose from to put on before each one presented herself befor the king. It's not just about looking good, personal hygiene is very important as well. Men are turned off by offensive odors, and women who dont practice self-care.

Pintrest is a good search tool for looks that are age appropriate, body flattering and classy. I am very short with a nice shape so i have to be very careful with dresses and shorts in the summer. Its a struggle to find the happy medium when its 99 degrees outside. Thanks for the video.

    Just because you don't see me wearing it or driving it, doesn't mean I can't afford it, I just have more important priorities. It may not be name brand clothing, shoes, purses etc., but I can look still look nice. Before I pay $200 or more for clothing, purses, shoes, I can put that money towards the principal balance on my home. I've just purchased my second home. I wouldn't be able to do that if I was spending on expensive clothing, purses, etc. Clothes depreciate in value, houses increase in value.

      Well that common thing will get a lot of people thrown in hell being materialistic, judgmental, and worldly. He say it’s not being materialistic but actually it is in the common eye for most people. It’s not about what you wear. It’s how you wear it. People just need to find what works for their body and know when to dress appropriately. Such as, pool parties etc. that’s when it’s appropriate to show a Lil skin. Social media as if today is pushing name brands. Especially influenced by celebrities. So people will try to keep up to some degree. If you don’t wear name brand and be flashy, then that makes you average. I say dress for the occasion. Most people today gotta have high ranked name brand clothes just to fit in. It’s sad. God talks about this very topic that will ruin the masses eternity. Because they too worried about impressing people just to say they got it like that.

      @keed2537 3 года назад +1

      @@faithlagofmustardseed1785 No one is talking about impressing people. A lot of people do struggle with taking this topic too far. But what you wear is a part of your self expression, so it does say something important about you that most people may overlook. Our clothes are part of that representation of us. It also goes back to that line between realistic and materialistic. What you put out, you attract. Some people want someone who dresses nicely and puts more care into their look but won't do it themselves. Or say they want someone to love them for them, but if they don't look the part they don't stand a chance. Is it fair? No, but representing yourself well does make it easier to gravitate towards the right friends, opportunities and maybe even a husband or wife that you may want. Im not saying to go overboard. But it's a fine line for sure. This is why its hard to get into heaven. That line is a straight and narrow path in the midst of many avenues. So how you take that walk is up to you.

    You have to let the Holy Spirit curate your look. It will change depending on the assignment, where you are spiritually and also the physical state. Unfortunately, measurements apply to logic(your physical SIZE play a role in what you should or should not wear).
    Foundationally, it changes as your mind is transformed and you are aligned more succinctly with God’s plans. But ultimately, adaptability is essentially a strategy that the LORD will use accordingly.
    Cosmetic consciousness is a powerful thing when uses righteously and peculiar to you.

    I'm 25 years old and I observed recently, that when I was going to my workplace ( I'm a PhD student doing research in the field of virology), mostly men in their late 30s were approaching to me. My best friend, who is 30 and also a PhD student (in the field of neurology) had totally other experience. If I was being approached by men who were already post-docs or sometime had their own research-group, she was being approached by other PhD students who were a couple of years younger than her. I complained about it to my stepmom... A couple of months later I was visited by my father and her and they stayed for a while. I took them once in my workplace and had a coffee with them and my best friend. When we went back home my step-mom explained to me that she knows why I attract older man and why my best friend attracts much younger men. I go to work with a blazer, light coloured shirt and jeans or pencil trousers. My best friend on the other side wears colourful dresses, shorts, colourful T-shirts.... I was giving the impression that I am much older than I am, that's why I was attracting much older men, because they were assuming that I was at least in my early 30s... So I did some changes (less make-up) and dress formally only when I have to present my results in a group... otherwise, a simple T-shirt and jeans...

It really helped a lot I am not dating yet it's been a while my kids are grown ups and out of the house but I wasn't sure on how to go about dating my friends tell me to talk to the guy first come on to him even my grandkids 13 and 14 when I was exercise walking with them they felt that it was their place to tell me to start talking to someone and I said I'm not going to do that I am fine stay out of my love life but people keep feeling the need to volunteer information on me and tell me I should start talking to someone my married friends who are men told me I should come on to the guy first and I said to them that's not what I want to do someone else felt the need to tell me to smile at a guy in public touching with my hand in public to flirt with him to let him know I'm interested I actually started to consider this I said maybe this is something I should be listening to but now I listen to your video and it helped me much more and it felt much more comfortable for me to do I shared it with some friends so they can watch it as well I said to them he's pretty good isn't he and she replied he's good she is years old and I told her that I sent this video to your mom as well so keep doing what you're doing sir today's date is August 13th 2021 and by the way I did subscribe. PS I do have one question I know in the video you said when a guy asked you what you're looking for you said to say I will know it when I see it I heard someone else say that so I like that it feels right but someone else told me that they tried something different when they went on a date this guy asked her what she was looking for and she said to him I want someone that I can be there for that I can help and be a great help mate too and help lift him up she said she made it all about him and he said that answer was different than what he's used to hearing he's used to hearing women say I want a man that has a job a car and so and so she said he was surprised when I said I'm looking for a man that I can be there for. what do you think about this ?
