Some years ago I let my standards slip. I gained weight and so much frumpiness . One day I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise myself. I decided to take action, I started to go jogging every day and meditate, I was struggling but I found Marie Anne Lecoeur and she helped me to see I was worth the effort. Since I had some serious scare but my style was already better and it helped me even more, from outside to inside. And now I only go for WOW outfit and my best smile. So thank you.🌹

Yes looking your best makes you feel good on the inside! When I gain weight I always feel bad about myself and don’t want to get dressed. If I am afraid to put my jeans on because they are too small it’s a terrible feeling. It’s important to take care of ourselves inside and out.

All points; spot on! Long ago, when I was young, a mature, well dressed, gentleman working as a shoe salesman, said “ you can elevate any outfit with great shoes, but the wrong shoes will always let you down”. I pay no attention to trendy shoes, and just wear the best classic loafers, trainers, and ankle boots that I can afford. I get many compliments on my outfits ( even from young people), although my classic clothing is really nothing special. I believe it’s all in how you wear your outfits.

Trying to power through middle-age with a positive mindset can be hard. I have found that the less I like looking at what I am seeing in the mirror, the less I care which clothes I put on. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and gained a tummy I just can't seem to shift, I can't even suck it in any more. This past year I have started trying to improve my fitness, add some strength training and try to care more. It is taking a while but I am slowly seeing some results and my dress and attitude are changing for the better. I really enjoy your enthusiasm and am trying to pick up on some your style (with flat shoes!).

Hello Marie-Anne. You are so right about foundation. I see so many middle-age women who spend a fortune on something like an outfit for a wedding but they wear the wrong underwear and ruin the look. They have wasted their money because they look like a sack of potatoes leaning against a barn wall! Good supportive underwear is more important than what goes on top.

I relocated to a new city a few months back - it's definitely more casual here as it's near cottage country . Lots of gardening to improve the large lot we have has resulted in me wearing things out in public here that I never normally would have . I just tell myself I'm blending in here - but it's really not my style . I had been wearing a red lip in recent years but there are certain looks one gets out with it in town here . This fall I'm going back to being me - a little more dressed than many women but that is my comfort level and being known as the woman with red lipstick isn't the worst thing people can say about you . I need to dump the frump before it becomes a habit .

@dreamer6943 Жыл бұрын

You totally should. It's going to be easier with you being new. People be more like "oh that's the new woman she always wears red lipstick" and so it's part of who you are, instead of like "oh why has she started wearing red lipstick now" and questioning why you've changed. Which you've totally got a right to change but there's always going to be people push against it, so best to start as you mean to go on

Thanks for the tips, much appreciated! As a former retired NYC fashion illustrator and student of the history of costume/fashion, there are some looks that do indeed make a woman look frumpy! But, it's not always about weight, it's knowing what outfits look frumpy and what don't! One of the frumpiest looks I've seen on women esp. middle age or older women are cropped pants with heavy sneakers and straw hats! And another bad look is long maxi or midi dresses like the Boho Chic look which I happen to love worn with sneakers! Sneakers kill any look if they don't look good with certain outfits esp heavy running sneakers! Slim sandals or ballet flats would look better and with cropped pants that's more like the Audrey Hepburn elegant look. She never wore those heavy sneakers with her elegant outfits! I also find any scooped out neckline with the gathers also rather frumpy for some reason! There are other better looking necklines and V neck necklines are usually very lovely looking with dangly necklaces which is all the rage these days! I have a cousin in her 60s who is on the heavy side but she knows just how to dress for her build. She always looks classy and elegant and knows how to accessorize beautifully with long scarves and interesting jewelry! One notices her great style rather than her weight!🙂👗♥

Decent underwear is key! I love some nice colours! I do the neutral thing but a splash of colour can perk things up! Even just a purse or shoes! I have a little boho streak. Head to toe boho is scary but a scarf or a shirt or a fun purse! I have great booties in all sorts of colours! I don’t think I have ever been frumpy, even when my weight is higher. A young woman I know came up to me today and stopped me and told me how good I looked. It made me feel great that she did that! I was in athleisure wear as I was returning from pickleball, but I have some neat little outfits to play in. I tend to avoid shapeless stuff or sweats or bulky clothes.

Love this video.♥️ For 5 years I had to live in a town where frump was king. Every woman in that town was frumpy!!. Whenever I left the house dressed chic ,taylored & classic, I was asked by a very frumpy woman "Are you going out to sell you body to pay the rent?" I was finally able to move to another town where standards of dress were high - more my style - but by then the damage was done. Frump had crept into my wardrobe. & my life! I threw out all the frumpy clothes as soon as I moved. But today I am still struggling with my frump & trying to get back to my normal classic style.

I live in a tres frumpy town in Utah, but I dress like an elegant Audrey Hepburn each and every day and walk with pride in my high heels and my head held high.

Look at yourself all the way around in a full length mirror before going out. The last couple of years, not counting lock down, I have tried to make new outfits. I used to hang matching items together. I used to wear mostly black without realizing it. Now I add color or a pop of color. There are a few trends each season that fits well with classic style.

It was difficult to find a size 42B bra that fit but I finally found one. After not wearing a bra for 8 years, no more sagging breasts. Basic white and black t-shirts that are made for woman. 3 new blazers. 2 pairs of jeans. A nice pair of black pants. I am on my way back to looking good. The biggest challenge is I am larger in the waist than hips or bust. And, after loosing 30 lbs., I have lots of loose skin on my upper and lower arms. I can't afford surgery so I am still experimenting to have upper arms covered without letting things flop. Thank you for your channel.

My style definitely got frumpier after I retired…I didn’t feel important anymore. But then I realized I am important and worth it. But, I still didn’t know what to wear as a stylish retiree, or how to dress for my shape, or how to choose colors, etc. There are so many bad examples and terrible advice out there! I’m so happy to have found the best. This channel has changed my life. I can’t thank Marie-Anne enough for what she does on You Tube. She makes learning to be stylish easy and fun. Dump the frump!

Hi Marie-Anne I agree about opposites. I wear a strand of pearls with a T shirt just for fun.

Thank you Marie-Anne for yet another great video . Can you please have a video about how to wear oversized shirts that can also be worn as jackets . I have few kind of tweed , Chanel like but no lining . So they look not casual because of the material , but slightly oversized for a shirt and don’t quite know how to wear them . Thank you again . 🙏🏼🌹❤️

@@MarieAnneLecoeur Sharing your videos- GOES WITHOUT SAYING- I certainly do! The moment someone says to me, "you look fantastic! Something about you has changed... I can't put my finger on it..." I say, "Marie-Anne Lecoeur biensur!" LOL I also use your expressions (and give you credit), "If it's not a waow, it's a non." I send them one of your videos immediately and it opens up an entirely different qualitative conversation! You offer such fun and healthy exercises into reaffirming ourselves, returning to ourselves and rebuilding ourselves through the paradigm of style.... I also enjoyed your cooperation with the Italian stylist; it highlighted alternative subtleties that resonate more with my culture (louder, southern Europe, many, scolding hot summer months). Once again- merci beaucoup and have a lovely weekend.

Merci beaucoup Marie-Anne! Another wonderful video, I’m learning so much from you. I’m currently sorting out my wardrobe and getting rid of items I have not worn for a long time - it’s really therapeutic! I’ve only just found your videos, Marie-Anne so am enjoying going back over your posts from a couple of years ago. Thank you so much.

HI Jane, It feels good to purge my closet of unworn items, and it feels even better to donate them to Ugly's Closet (non-profit that helps single moms) down the street where they will be loved and cherished by those who buy them.

I tend to go a bit bolder with jewelry and dress as you would call too young. I'm not ready to hang it all up. I'm fine with going totally casual in some circumstances. If I'm camping or staying at a mountain resorr, Birkenstocks are my best friend. Though I tend to wear them with shorts or capris. I still dress mostly in black when others my age go for bold colors. I have a fear of ending up like Elizabeth II in colors. It is possible to look elegant in t-shirts and jeans and I tell this to as many people as possible.

That is funny, because I do that used to do . I used to wear the same pair together, not trying it with other things. Now I take time to try on my clothes in all different ways. I use Pinterest and I label it re-create and then I re-create the looks there ,with what I have in my closet. I raise my standards after Covid. I got rid of all my T-shirt tops. I am now wearing knit short sleeve tops nicer things, even if I am at home 😊

I absolutely agree with you regarding foundation! Most especially a bra that holds the girls "UP"! There is nothing attractive about having breasts knocking on your knees!!!!! Older women just don't seem to understand. I am 72 and wear a push up bra which gives me a definite youthful look. Thanks for you videos; I really enjoy them. I was born and raised in London and my mother taught me to look my best anytime I leave the house.
