Just so you know, the link for the blouse is the same as the jeans.
O.k 👍
Thx.🤗 Marie 💘
Thanks a lot, I became a fan of yours. Do you have videos in French either? I’d recommend them to my mother, she speaks French, but unfortunately doesn’t understand English at all. Or could you please add French captions?
I love your videos! Would you please recommend travel shoes for long days of walking around cities? I don’t want to look frumpy and wear sneakers! I have all sorts of cute comfortable shoes, but these would still be very hard to walk for long durations while traveling as opposed to getting around town and work. Help!
That frumpy outfit is like a uniform for so many women over 60. Go to any shopping mall and they all look like that! It screams "I've given up and I just want to be comfortable" lol
I totally agree Sue
that´s me
I have given up . 😂.
It’s every snowbird in Florida right now😂
I’m over 60 and don’t have or wear frumpy clothes.
Everyone deserves to look fabulous at any age! Listen to Marie-Anne 💃
🤗
You have got me taking a hard look in my closet. Frump has snuck in there. I am weeding it out, and donating it to the senior center - although, it almost seems unethical to frump others! I can't bring myself to burn them, so that is where they are going. I hope my less chic sisters will appreciate them.
A good declutter does wonders for your style Gram Gram 😃
Omg!! “Refrumping”??!!
😂😂 I think I peed laughing!!
Update: I just ordered two column midi denim shirts from Talbot's... Very trim! Most of their colors and patterns are horrible this year, and these skirts were buried under all those things.
My experience with talbots denim skirts is that they are exceedingly well made and tailored. I have one I bought 2 years ago. I absolutely love. And they are having a BOGO sale 50% right now. Worth checking out. They also had some nice linen suits.
In Australia I could not wear jeans in the summer, days are 35-40 degrees celsius. I would love to see you do chic styles for the really hot days. I loved the new outfit, beautiful update!
I love linen skirts, shorts and trousers, but ironing them is hot work!🙂
Same here in Virginia, US. Hot and humid = no jeans.
Hi from Queensland. I might try wide leg pants next summer. Only about 6 inches more fabric than crops 🤔
I have done several videos about staying cool in the heat Belle 😃 I wore linen trousers when I lived in Mexico in 45C heat and was cool and comfortable - as the summer comes on I will be doing more videos for summer styles 😘
Same here in southern Nevada -- I do not wear jeans in the summer. I wear cotton or linen dresses and long bermuda type pants (and thin-strapped Birkies).
You are so right Marie-Anne. What a change. I too see many women dressed like this and think they look like a rectangle.
Agreed, and it's so sad.
Sponge Bob Square Pants
I call myself spongebob square pants 😢
😘
I've got more of rectangular body as it is these days, I don't want to emphasise it.
You're the best style advice I've seen since "What Not to Wear".
Merci beaucoup Betsy 🤗
Marie is better, in my opinion 💕
No, it's incomparable!
Because of you , I have dumped my crops, paisley, thick strapped Birkenstocks ( I kept the thin strapped ones), big florals and everything else I thought was frumpy.
🙌 Wonderful Renee 😃
I hear Marie Anne saying non when I'm shopping now. Even my hubby says 'what would Marie Anne say 😊
I agree with everything but the Birkenstocks....they stay!
Love capris iffff fitted and just above ankle even don't like baggy capris umper lumper upaty laaaaaaaa😁😁😁😁😁
Wait wait I thought Arizona birks were back
I've always lived by the thought that the last thing you should put on before you walk out the door for the day is a smile!
😃
Excellent advice 😁
And, a smile costs nothing!
OK Marie-Anne, but when I know you are not looking, I am still going to wear my Birkenstocks once in a while, but only when I am really sure you can't see them.....lol I used to Iive in San Francisco, with the Flower Children and still have my Hippy bag that came with peacock feathers as the decoration. It brings back happy memories of my youth.....50 plus years ago. And, now, I hear you saying, "That's my point!"...Lol, love your videos!
Did you keep your hash pipe?
@@selectiveoutrage6617 No, never had one!
You gave me my biggest laugh so far SJordan 😃 👍
I lived in Bellingham for 10 years after college so OF COURSE I still wear my birki’s!!! In all styles and all ways!!❤
@@joanD I have open sandal Birkenstocks as well as closed toe, but shhhhhhhhhhh I don't want Marie-Anne to think that I am not one of her best students, because I really am making an effot to look chic, and she is such an elegant lady, so I promise only to look mumsie on rare occaisions. Already walked my dog before seven this morning, am eating healthy, have a new haircut, and riding my bike. She's such a good influence! But, then Marie-Anne knows I am addicted to her channel and love her to bits! x
I have consistently refused to buy or wear cropped pants ever since they came out. I don't understand why they are such a fashion "thing". They simply don't look good on most women.
Hear Hear Robin 👏 They are an absolute influencer favourite... but why 🤷♀️
I'm just over 60 and I have never bought cropped trousers or those types of sandals . I can't understand why women want to wear these. I don't think they look good on anyone .
At 5'10" cropped, capris, or ankle pants just make me feel, and look, like I couldn't find proper fitting pants which had been an issue my whole life. The clothing shown here, with a few exceptions, is nothing I would wear. LLBean or Eddie Bauer for pants because they have long lengths, JCP for inexpensive T's, Keen for spring, summer, early fall. I spent way too much if my life shopping for clothes and shoes that fit...pants, shirts, and shoes all too short.
I think it’s for comfort in warm weather
At 5’1”, I avoid cropped pants. I’m short with a 28” inseam. Cropped pants do me no favors, ha-ha. My French ancestors would be spinning in their graves if I wore cropped pants. 🤣
The shirt that looks like your aunt’s curtains from the 70’s is hilarious!!
😃
Right,!!!just noticed, good by flowered curtains ,I mean blouses!
I love the way you break down the details of what makes each outfit frumpy - the details for blouse and the pants. Very helpful.
Unlike other influences, she doesn't just say "Wear this", she explains why.
Merci Susan - glad you enjoy it 😃
Merci selective outrage 🤗
Marie-Anne, I purchased “How to be Chic & Elegant” two weeks ago. After having lived a lifetime (70!) I really thought I had my style all figured out until I read your tips, tricks, and tweaks. Now I’m finally perfect! Lol!
That is wonderful Ciral 🤗 merci for becoming a reader as well as a watcher 😘
Life begins at 70!
The purple outfit was so funny, even Coco was wondering what was going on. You have a great sense of humour. The second outfit was really fabulous, thank you for sharing 🙂🩷
He was mystified Elizabeth 😃
Coco was the best atribute to wear ❤
I am at an age when I need a little support when walking, so I now have matching walking sticks to go with my outfits. 😀
Perfectly Chic Lynn 😘
Although I wouldn't personally buy that purple-pink-orange blouse but I think matching it with a straight cut high waisted pair of jeans with the blouse tucked in would look great. Add a brown crossbody handbag with a gold buckle, pointy white or gold shoes, some pretty gold earrings and a chunky gold necklace. I think it will make good.
Love this. And -- I have a very large belly/tummy. TRULY, I look worse with any blouse tucked in at all, even a "french tuck" draws all the attention to my tummy. Would love tips on how to not look frumpy when you have a large belly and weigh 30 pounds more than you wish you did, Marie-Anne. Thanks!
I have a number of videos for that - if one technique does not help there are plenty of others czcams.com/video/FakOT1fYxCI/video.html and czcams.com/video/m2D2hSrPCsU/video.html and czcams.com/video/QSu7xb6iwFw/video.html and czcams.com/video/EqTAjEV3Pb4/video.html
@womanofacertainage5892 Amen 🙏 I feel your pain!
@@blackthornsloe8049 Darling, I eat very well. No sugar, no processed foods. I also don't drink any alcohol. I also exercise. Every body is different. Every woman will have different hormone issues happening in their body. Please consider that when commenting about how someone else would love the results from losing weight. Yes, I imagine I would. That wasn't my comment and I didn't really need you making this comment. Thanks.
@@womanofacertainage5892 I did not intend to offend you . I have removed the comment.
You're absolutely right and I agree with you in everything. I enjoyed so much the whole process going from frumpy to fabulous and the result is such a gorgeous, comfortable and chic outfit. You look stunning and youthful, Marie-Anne. Loved to see Coco again. Merci 🙏🏻🤍
Merci AW 🐾
You made me laugh out loud-“The shoes-quelle horreur!”
😃
I quit wearing the Capri length pants about 3 years ago because I felt frumpy, and I KNOW I looked frumpy!
🙌
Oh my...I think you got that blouse with purple pants (pantaloons!) outfit out of my closet. I have to sign up for your course.
Bonjour Sharri 😃 lovely to see you here - would love to have you 😘 Keep up the great work with your Extraordinary Women channel - we need more extraordinary women 😘
Really enjoyed this light-hearted but very helpful video. More like this please Marie Anne, dump the frumpy, love it.
Ha! Love it!
Dump the Frump!!
I can do that Wanda 😘
I laughed out loud at the Hobbit feet comment. 🙂 This was a nice video and makes me think that one on 'how to do florals over 50' might also be very useful, Marianne. So many of us love florals and a bit of colour but it's easy to end up looking like a sofa.
Smaller prints are the key I think
Yes exactly!! I did start to weed out some florals. 😮
NO florals, cropped pants or birkie’s. Frump!
I like that floral and think it goes well with Marie's coloring. But I agree about the fit of the blouse. I really don't care if one element of my outfit is passe so long as the fit and color are good. I also wear vintage jackets from the 40s, 50s and 60s. With modern items. Its my style. I've learned a lot from Marie but my style is quirkier
I can do that Carole - I touched on it here but can expand 😘 it is about looking modern rather looking younger as I say in my videos 😃
I HATE!!! bulky capri pants, baggy mom jeans, Birkenstocks, Crocs, all things synthetics, and coordinated tops and bottoms. Who says we have to dress old just cause we are older?
👍💯
Its not like anyone is making you wear them🙄
You are Hillarious but so on the money. !!!! ❤😂
🤗
I have no choice, I have to wear Birkenstocks but I usually buy the Mayari style. They do come in pretty colours. Regular shoes and sandals are too painful due to orthopaedic issues. I have to make the best of it. 🤷🏻♀️
Your clothes advice is trés bon.
You darn near look great in everything!
The only thing I would add would be a belt, white or light coloured, to finish the outfit.
I like your thinking Wendy 😃 love your art 😘
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thank you!
As always, wonderfully illustrated!
😘
Loved this!!
Summer coming! Could you please help with a video on length of pants and shorts and bermudas for older ladies? I don’t go above the knee anymore, but trying for the not frumpy capris!
You are SUCH a big help and your clothes are so “everyday!” ❤
I will see what I can do 😘
A longer skort works
I need an adorable frump inspector like yours, Marie-Anne!
🐾
Le sourire est le plus bel accessoire que l'on peut porter, en effet !
Bravo Marie-Anne pur cette leçon d'élégance !
🤗
Coco is a great accessory!
🐾
I love when you do these types of videos. I learn so much! Merci, Marie-Anne.
Glad you enjoy them Sheride 😃
thank you. hearing your analysis and working through your thinking process is so so so helpful!❤
Glad it was helpful 😃
Brilliant! Thank you so much!❤
Loved the breakdown from top to shoes! Great visuals! Thank you!
🤗
First time looking at your site and I loved it. Thank you for your chic ideas.
You are very welcome Kirst 🤗
Fab long white trousers
So much better, Marie-Anne. I'm only sticking to stripes or subtle plaids for wearing patterns.
👍
😂😂😂 I love your fashion advice and sense of humor! You have THE best channel! Thank you!
That is very kind of you Paula - merci 🤗
It's so important to feel good about yourself and it gives off such a positive vibe. When I see someone with a look that I like, I make sure to compliment them - it may be the highlight of their day.
🙏
thankyou Marie Anne indeed you looked different and fabulous and your explanations were so spot on and easy to see your point
🤗
What you said about "curtains" made me laugh - I say to myself whenever catching myself trying on paisley, other strange patterns and/or colours and those square shirts: Oh dear, look at you, trying to hide and look like a pillow on the sofa? 😅
😃👍
The pillow bit made me laugh! Good point!
I agree right up to the Birkenstocks. I have worn my Birkenstocks for 49+ years now. Never giving them up.
Wore Birkenstocks before Birkenstocks were cool.
I didn’t know about them until recently. They look comfortable, but they’re so ugly!
@nomado3650 Pretty is as Pretty does! 😍
But I am a 75 year old hippie from Southern California sooooo 🤷♀️
I agree with crop pants. I have some that are 7/8ths and don’t mind them. Saw my reflection the other day with my old crops and trainers on and thought I did look frumpy. They are very popular in Australia.
Stand out in your style Blondie 😘
they're always in the frumpy shops like Millers and Katies lol
@@SueRosalieyes and elastic waistbands make them even worse for frump.
I absolutely loved this video Marie-Anne. Excellent, practical advice and so many laughs!!!!! My pet hate has always been ugly shoes. There are so many gorgeous, comfortable shoe styles available. Thank you from Australia.
I agree Cat 😃👍 life is too short to wear ugly shoes 👍
hilarious outfit!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Great advice. I am so thrilled because I have a blouse like the better one. You are so perfect with your advice. Love it.x
😘
Great suggestions, thank you!!❤
😘
excellent Content Thank you!
I love the after! I try to not buy too many things with patterns. I usually stick with pin stripes or small polkadots. I also always wear my pants long to the ankle or thigh high. Most of my clothes are textured rather than patterned. The purple outfit would be great turned into a scrap quilt!
If you want to quilt these I still have them Nia Marie 😉
I laughed out loud through the whole thing. I hear “if it’s not a wow….” In my head every time I look at something. l made a few mistakes with fabric (not holding shape) but my pared down wardrobe is now finished. I need a few belts, a few scarves and an orange pair of flats and it will be rounded out. I found my eye for fashion and quality again after many years of ignoring it. So much fun! Thanks M.A.
That is wonderful 😃 👏
I love how you tried accessorizing with the doggy.
🐾
You are cracking me up! Thank you for the video!
😘
Another great video❤ Thank you Marie-Anne❤
Glad you enjoyed it Linda x
Love the second blouse! Great video.
😘
Congrats on your 200K subscribers Marie-Anne! Well deserved! I love your frump inspector! 🥰
Merci French Style 🤗
Just bought new Birkenstocks. I think they are adorable. I wear 36 narrow. Bring on the frump. It’s approachable . No one is intimidated by me.
I don't intimidate anyone either Flower Power 🙂
I enjoy this video greatly!
Super funny too!
😃
The smile was the best accessory ❤
😃
Excellent advice and so amusing, which will help me to remember it! Thank you!
I think the fun gets the point over much better Angel 😃
Just changing to the white slacks and the tucked in purple shirt looked GREAT!
🤍💜
Helpful as always. Thank you, Marie-Anne 😊
🤗
Love the humor. Thank you for another great style video.
😘
I agree with some of the other commenters. Would love some direction on what to wear during the summer months. No shorts above the knees, and no dresses/skirts. I don't want to look frumpy, but jeans are too warm, and full length pants look odd paired with summer shoes. Thanks for helping us reassess what outfits we reach for without thinking!
Summer is coming Carrie 😃 in the interim there are all my summer videos from previous years 😃
Hello. This was very effective! What a difference. I loved this video and your sense of humor!! Thank you!
😘
Great advice, thank you Marie Anne. ❤
😘
Great video! I love how you always suggest stylish footwear that is also comfortable 😍
🤗
Wonderful explanation of how to dress elegantly, even when casual.
Merci Lana xx
Your advice is doing wonders for my wardrobe. I watch many channels, but it's yours that has created positive change in my style and appearance. Many thanks.
I'm so glad it has helped 😃
That type of shoe I would only wear at home and when I go to the laundry room. 😄
Or in the garage or to empty the trash
She picked out that horrible colour on purpose 😂
I totally agree. Hello from Argentina 🇦🇷
Wow the black sandals made the outfit for me.
Great video Marie Ann you inspire me xx
🤗
Love your videos and your humor 😀 and Coco, the frump inspector 🥰😂🫶🏼🐶
🐾
Great video, positive, funny, and Coco !!!
🐾
Great video Marie-Anne, very helpful and inspiring. I've already got my smart outfit for tomorrow worked out, based on this video😄
Yayyyy 🙌
Really appreciate this! Thank you so much.
You're very welcome Kat
Haaaaaa on my gosh love this. Especially the sucking the life into a mummy part haaaaa awesome.
😃
I LOVE prints that look like some old aunt's "curtains" lol. Ever since I was a teenager. Can you show me how to make those prints chic? Black and white might be chic but I'm so tired of monotone... I want color in my life AND to be chic!
Keep everything else simple and use prints on one piece, not an entire dress.
I think selectiveoutrage6617 has it right - make everything else simple to give it the best chance x
I just bought a pair of white wide leg jeans to play with for spring and summer. I love how they go with everything!
🤍 I have done videos on that Kristina czcams.com/video/afKSYksE5Ow/video.html and here czcams.com/video/YBvk5IQtdiM/video.html 😘
Bonjour Marie-Anne,
Such a great transformation from very frumpy to perfect chic. Love the reminder for the final accessory!
😘
I don't care what anyone thinks about my fashion choices as long as I'm happy
Wonderful video, Marie-Anne. Love your humour and bursted laughing out loud at the mummy's creepy sound 😆. Merci for these amazing tips to transform an outfit from frumpy to fabulous 🙏🏻💕
Merci AW 🤗
Thanks much this was fun and I learned some things about appropriate ways to defrump.
😃👍
Oh Marie-Anne - honestly you are so funny😂- you always make me laugh out loud- I just love your personality so much x
😃😘
Marie; you're! Exactly! Correct.
My sister dresses like that
I've been trying 2 help her; and she's older then me
You've! Helped! Me! Alot!
Th💘Nk! Y💘u!
🤗🤗🤗
👍👍👍
💘💘💘
Send her the link June 😉
Two of my sisters dress like the purple outfit and look SO frumpy....but they will not be swayed when I gently show them the difference from frumpy to fabulous by sending them Marie-Anne's videos. We're all short (5 feet tall) but they still keep choosing frumpy outfits like crop pants and baggy tops! Some people apparently don't care if they're frumpy...they've never learned you can be comfortable AND chic and that comfortable does not have to mean frumpy. 🤷♀
Merci beaucoup ❤
What a difference. Thanks a lot for this video❤
Glad you liked it 😘
Wonderful advice as always. Your videos make me reassess my wardrobe (and remove things) every time I watch. I lost my way after retiring. I’m back on track now and feeling much better about my clothes
That is wonderful Diane - I hope you enjoy this new part of your style journey 😘
I love those pants on you. That is the type of pants I always liked. When I see women wearing tight pants all the way down to their angles,with no ease I just cringe. They might not have a full length mirror so they don't see how they look like. lol
A full length mirror is your best friend Frost Flower 😃
I'm loving those statement necklaces you're wearing lately. Thanks for mentioning wide leg trousers. Was wondering what your opinion of them was. Back in my day they were called elephant pants. In ready to wear they can be a bit tricky to find where they aren't too wide, though. Always so happy to see a new video from you!
🤗
I love this video so much. You also made me laugh, when the sales assistant was showing you the ties at the ankles! Fabulous before and after xx
😃
This was an excellent video and entertaining! I love the French language you are adding to your videos!!
Glad you enjoy it Laura 😘
Coco didn't approve of the frump et moi non plus. ☺️
The white pants and light print shirt are so much better!
🤍😘
Thank you❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for this video…. I’m cleaning out my closet today! Dumping the frumpy clothes. Your advice is just so valuable ♥️
I am glad you find it useful Jane 😃
Bonjour Marie- anne. That was an excellent teaching aid, good straightforward advice, and what a difference!!! Like many others I have dumped my crops and flowery trousers, and tops that are wrong for my rectangular shape!! Thank you - oh and I will remember to wear a smile when I go out!!!
Yayyyy 🙌
