    To the lady who asked about wearing a colorful belt with a thick waist, in my opinion, if she wore a cardigan or blazer left open, you would only see the center of the belt and would therefore not make her waist appear wider.

    The other day, I was showing my three-year-old granddaughter my accessories (she loves clothes!) and came across a gold belt that I've hardly ever worn. At the time, I was wearing a yellow teeshirt and everyday skirt. My granddaughter asked me to put the belt on. Result? A wow! and instant elevation! 😊

    Marie-Anne, about those belts , all look great but my favorite is white because you have white in your blouse, my eye sort of is comfortable with white. Style on budget, I think I have that because my clothes are not expensive, many from 2nd hand shops, clearance pieces, ones I make myself and then some more expensive ones which are classic and I have had them many years.I'm short and the shops are full of wide leg trousers which are NON for me. Straight legs are for me so a video showing how to style them would be much appreciated. Thank you again, great video. Thank you so much. Love you.

  • @Barbaramamato

    I used to think that matching the belt and the shoes was better if possible. Now, that I'm listening to Marieanne when considering belts and shoes, I like to take the outfit as a whole. Where is the best place for focus? For feet? Wear more contrast in shoes and less contrast elsewhere.
    When traveling, one avoids drawing attention to one's handbag. When working in an office, the handbag goes in the drawer or on the over desk shelf. It's only visible during breaks, when arriving or leaving. I like a large Coach or similar because of the capacity. Yet, others do notice it more than I realize.
    I often like a tan handbag and black shoes. If there were one color of shoes I would like to add, it would be navy or dark blue Mary Janes. After that, i would replace my suede brown saddle shoes. I think you call them brogue shoes. Next, would be classic burgundy penny loafers with or without tassels. My feet once loved my burgundy Enzo Angelini Loafers that fit like ballet flats. What do you think of adding clip on embellishments to shoes?
    Brighton Jewelry has Jewelry for purses. One might even find a special buckle and have it put on a basic belt. These additions will be unique and give a new look to a classic piece hopefully.
    As for actual jewelry pieces are much smaller since precious metals became more costly.

    • @MarieAnneLecoeur

    Chic on a budget. Yes, please do a live stream on that. I gained a lot of weight in the last two or three years and now I'm losing it. I've lost a size, so far. I don't want to spend a lot on clothes that probably won't fit me next year.
