Grooming is number 1. If your hair has a fresh cut, your nails are perfectly manicured, you are clean and smell good and you have a sophisticated touch of just enough make-up to look polished, you can wear a potato sack and look impeccable. Straggly hair, yellow teeth, chipped polish and an absolutely bare face with no care taken to clean up brows and give your skin a fresh glow will kill any elegant vibe, before it's even there. And it doesn't even have to be chipped polish, dirty hair or pimply skin. You could be wearing Balenciaga and Hermes and have unpolished, unmanicured nails instead of short, filed nails with a clear polish, a grown-out haircut past its due date instead of a razor sharp straight, shiny bob, and the face you woke up with, instead of a touch of blush and mascara, and you will never look elegant. Grooming is EVERYTHING, and the good news is that perfect grooming doesn't take money and you don't have to be skinny or gorgeous to achieve it. It is attainable by all; you just need to care enough to make the effort every day. P.S. Imo, there is no such thing as effortless elegance UNLESS you are perfectly groomed. If your hair falls into place with just a shake because you trim that half inch every month, if your skin is clean and fresh when you wake up because you do a little routine every night before bed and if you maintain your manicure daily with touch ups and hand cream, you CAN jump out of bed, get dressed and look great in no time. Elegance is the result of a constant, daily effort.

Totally agree with the third piece. I collect jackets in a variety of fabrics and styles. My base layer is usually a pair of trousers and matching sleeveless mock turtleneck or tank top. Neutrals work great for your base layer. Then top it with a blazer in a contrasting color or tweed. My favorite color combinations are camel and black or navy and white. Instantly stylish. Put your money in the jackets.

You are so right adding a third piece like a simple Blazer even over old blue jean makes a stunning outfit ❤😂

With spring around the corner...using my jackets to elevate my outfits along with trying the three layered look with mono look....

Ty Carol. These tips really work

I live in a very hot/ humid , tropical climate. I would love for you to look at this for me please 😊

I’ve used these tips in styling for forty years, they aren’t new, but they work. I don’t stack necklaces, they’re just too difficult to fasten myself, but I like the look. I never got past putting on two necklaces, and by then was in a temper already. Putting on jewelry with tricky clasps is what I miss my ex most for! I have had some clasps changed, I can’t use the ubiquitous lobster clasp for one thing (they rotate the wrong way, every time, in my fingers), but it’s hardly worth it for “fashion jewelry” (costume jewelry) or plated items. The last one I had changed cost me $250 and that was before 2008, when the price of gold soared (investors are hoarding gold bullion in vaults since the financial crisis of that year). I used to modify my own fashion jewelry, but with aging (age 63), I developed a slight hand tremor that makes it too tricky.

This is such a great video (as I pull my lipstick from the inside pocket of my purse 😊). I also think a nice blazer in the color navy is classy and essential for elevating your style whether wearing jeans or slacks. Just looks so neat and nicely coordinated.

The transformative nature of a third piece is a great tip! It’s so obvious it was hidden.

I love ❤️ the power of the third piece!

The third piece is a great look but what about in hot humid Florida?

Blessings! Thanks for the tips. 💄 is a must for me, even under the mask. I never want to be caught undone. I love a white tee shirt with a blazer. 🙏😊

I loved your images for the triple layering of necklaces and the creative use of scarves for belts! However, I was confused as to how to wear my leather jacket (same as in your video) as a fashion piece. It’s just my “coat” when it goes with the outfit (as with any other coat). It would look ridiculous to keep a leather coat on indoors. Although, it would be awesome to watch your videos on advice regarding “whether you can mix metals” (like silver hardware on shoes, gold on belt or bag), what color shoes to wear with white pants or jeans, what shoes to wear with wide leg pants, whether a certain nail length/color was more elegant, hairstyles for sure, etc.

So on point and applicable to women of any age and income! Thank you!

Hi Carol can you do a video on sewing encouraging us how you can easily elevate your wardrobe on a budget as a seamstress

Layered necklaces sounds fun.

Its my hair. I find stright smooth shoulder length goes with any outfit. For evening a few strands tucked behind my ear with a simple hoop earring gives a simple finished look.

First time I came a cross from your channel, I find it very interesting for sure I will follow ✨️

excellent tips

If you add something, such as a belt, scraf, necklace etc , in your outfit, then it may look totally different and become special. Thanks for your suggestion.

My mom always said If you do nothing else for make up , make sure you wear a bright lipstick ! She 84 and I’ve listened to her since i left University 40 plus years ago . Christian Dior holiday Red was always my lipstick of choice .

Great video. Thank you

Simple and, still useful

amazing

Thank you.❤

I have always lived by the rule: Never wear anything that will pull focus away from your eyes and your smile. That includes wearing loud prints and large jewelry. Also, if your teeth are bad, adding a $400 blazer or purse isn't going to make you appear more elegant.

❤ I have accomplished these tips the one I haven’t tried yet was the Vest! I just subscribed to your channel. I’m interested, thank you. I’m from Colleyville Texas.🤠🙏❤️✝️

1 extra layer of cloth really adds elegance.

What about a super hot summer?

Style ideas are good, if u make videos keeping in mind if u can cover style based on weather, body types n skin tone ,we can pair jacket or coat during summer

Straight body contributes❤️

I loved 😍 all of them i weat lots of lipstick 💄 thank you

Colour and cut of the clothes. Material must be high quality. Line is key. Makeup light and hair fresh and groomed. Jewelry, not too much. Study the late... Caroline Bessett Kennedy. RIP. A lovely fragrance and a kind demeanor with good manners. Be patient when needed and firm as needed. You are a Queen.....act like one. The French woman knows the impact of a good lip.

Great tips!

Can you please link the French women tips video? 🙏

Is a scarf considered a 3rd piece?

Yeah sure! But number one cultivate an impossibly lithesome slim body!

That is not true. Amal Clooney spends a hell of money on her clothes.

Amal also has spent a whole lot of money on Plastic Surgery. Ha Ha 😅☕️

You're talking about changing a jean skirt and adding a jacket, then you show jeans. Don't make sense 😕

Dressing elegant is dressing to the climate you live in..

Amal.Clooney is hardly an example of dressing on a budget!!

AI

Your intro is too long

Why is this called Lucrative Elegance? How can elegance be lucrative?

It's hot now so.......

I don't care for a mall clooney's fashion at all!!!!!!

Can you post high fashionable women of color?

Don't like this channel hate the narration Looks like a bunch of pictures were pulled and narrated about lol

Leader jacket is not elegant is cruel. Use your skin😢😢

You talk too much and don’t show cool things.. jeans and jeans skirt are boring!
