Happy Thursday!!! I hope you enjoy this video of ways clothing can look cheap :) I got all this inspiration from things in my own closet 😜 let me know if you’d like to see more videos like these!! This was really fun to make. ☺️
1. Droopy button - sew 2. Pilling - fabric shaver 3. Tumbled faux fur - brush it 4. Lint - lint roll 5. Shoe laces on sneakers - hide the lace ends 6. Bulky jewelry - less is more Read and follow the instructions on the care tag and take care of your clothing like you paid a lot of money for it. Great video Elana. These are great tips and I’ll definitely be looking into getting a fabric shaver asap.
Your final tip was the best one. So many people think since they paid little for it, it is considered cheap and disposable. I have clothing from thrift stores, less expensive stores and high end department stores purchased on clearance. The way you take care of your clothes is everything. I have many items I've had for years because of how I take care of them. My fave is a classic $8 Calvin Klein blazer I purchased from Goodwill. It is my go to when I need to dress up an outfit!
Hi Elana. Great tips. What I now use instead of a lint roller is a strip of heavy duty tape, such as packing tape. It seems to remove lint better. Also I noticed that you are hanging your black wool coat on a wire hanger. This will ruin your coat and make it lose it's shape. Then you will make a part 2 to this video saying not to use wire hangers, ha ha!! Great video.
I ignore garment-care tags and rely on my extensive experience instead, most garments are low-labeled to an extreme (I just got a cotton t-shirt that said “dry-cleaning recommended”what nonsense, I machine washed and dried it). They do this so that they can refuse returns, it’s the only reason! I machine wash all my sweaters, including my best cashmere, on gentle with a regular final spin (or they’re too soggy) and dry them flat. I rarely put any clothing in the dryer, I hang (or lay flat) everything in my laundry room, with a fan going. Never machine-dry anything with Spandex/elastane in it, heat breaks it down fast, or sweaters - even if they can be tumble-dried, it makes them bobble like crazy).
Thanks! Liked all of your tips! I definitely agree with you on the jewelry. I used to wear "bigger" jewelry, but I am realizing that as a petite especially, daintier jewelry looks much nicer on me! I hadn't thought of hiding shoelaces for a more chic look :)
Wouldn't jewelry depend on whether it's real or costume? I can't imagine that a large, bold necklace or cuff bracelet of genuine 14k or 18k gold is going to look cheap.
I agree, delicate gold-plated jewelry is in style because the price of gold shot up to an all-time high. Bold precious-material jewelry isn’t out of style, but bold, plasticky costume jewelry always is.
Another great video loved it ^^ also can you tell me what was your weight when you were not pregnant? ❤️❤️ And also you ever faced that problem as petite that you look like a child or teenager? What you did then? I am 20 years old and 4'11, but people tell me I look like 12 years old, please gimme some tips to look according to my age ^-^
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 thank youuuu but can you also suggest me how to look mature by face cuz I have baby features, so everyone mistakes me for a 12 year old
YES!! I'm happy you said that because I JUST upgraded all my equipment and used it this week to film new videos! next few weeks quality is going to be sooo much better!!! can't wait!! :) :)

Great note taking! ❤️ Glad you enjoyed the video, hun :)
lint roller presents a problem by making textile stickier and attractive for yet more lint

Really appreciate the "hiding the shoelaces" tip for making tennis shoes look chic.😉
Yay!! Thank you! It really makes a difference! 😊

Love this. I’ve been spared me to go through my closet and now I have a list of things to do! Thank you. 0:50
Use the de-bobbler on the black wool coat, a lint roller isn’t effective for that type of “lint”, it’s really wool-fiber bobbles, caught up with lint.

I love all your videos 🙏you always have great tips👍
Yes you are definitely right about the jewelry.
Thank you so so much!!! Appreciate the support!😊
I agree with all.. I like a bold necklace sometimes depending on the look that you want, but my everyday jewelry is dainty.
I love your videos 😍
That makes me BEYOND happy!!! Grateful to have you here gf! ❤️❤️❤️
Take a moment and look at her like and dislike ratio.

That’s a very good point! Thanks for sharing :)

You’re just following the trend of more delicate jewelry, bold jewelry is already coming back.

Don’t wear girlish clothing like mini skirts, denim cut-offs, crop tops, tiered flouncy dresses and ruffles, wear adult classics like skirts/trousers, tees, shirts/blouses, simple dresses and blazers. Wear 2-3” heels, comfy block ones, always.

If you use a better background and lighting, your video would be better 😁
YES!! I'm happy you said that because I JUST upgraded all my equipment and used it this week to film new videos! next few weeks quality is going to be sooo much better!!! can't wait!! :) :)
