I like the end product. I think something else that would have worked would be a THINNER belt in the same light brown that was in the shoes and the thicker belt you had on. With or without the draped sweater. These videos are always fun! It’s like “playing with your clothes”!
Thank you for this post! I often give up on styling a garment after one or two attempts. It was good for me to see that it may take many more “not so good” choices before “the garment” says, “Wow!”
Happy Birthday, Marie Anne. Thank you for all you have taught me. I really appreciate it. All the best for you.Stay as beautiful, elegant and charming as you are forever. Lots of love!
For me the best would be LK Bennet cardigan, because this is a sort of a country dress and the cardigan goes with the style. You could go for an evening walk or to an afternoon country fair. In my opinion you cannot make a dress like that a fancy evening dress. I am not an expert, of course.
I do agree, and the belt on top of the cardigan.
You really have a great personality and sense of humor. You brighten my day with your video.
The old blazer with the trims with the check dress looks like my old school uniform...complete with academic colours
I do so appreciate the laboratory style of these videos!: Trying out different things as you go, liking or disliking the effect until you get what you are looking for, is a great way for the viewing audience to see the how to experiment.
After all the choices...The final choice is with the Cashmere Wrap 😊❤
Your final scarf/wrap looked amazing. You are teaching us to really look critically at an outfit and to keep trying until you find the right piece. Thank you, as always. PS, loving the "swish" of that skirt.
Yes. That is the one I prefer.
@@MarieAnneLecoeur you have helped me so much. Thank you.
Marie-Anne has wonderful taste and style, plus, she is a welcome, refreshing, calming respite from everyday concerns. I appreciate her!
What a wonderful lesson Marie-Anne the short navy cardigan was my favorite, but then again the shall looked very elegant
I loved the dress with the LK Bennet cardigan. The red handbag is perfect, a touch of colour that goes perfectly with your red lips and the red of your toe nails. Definitely the wedges and the belt that comes with the dress.
Definitely the blue wrap at the end for me as No.1, shoes go perfectly as well, most bags I thinks would be acceptable and this time no need for a belt a lovey floaty dress, I think this look is nicely chic and could be worn for lots of different outings. Another informative video Marie-Anne thank you.
Thank you for the video
I love your OLD blue blazer.
That was a fun video, do some more of these! Now I will do that too when trying an outfit.Merci beaucoup Marie-Anne.
I love the dress. A LOT. I loved it even more when you paired it with the espadrilles. I would've have opted for a white Blazer or scarf, or even red. I love those colors together
Fabulous gingham blue dress! (it reminds me of Dorothy's in The Wizard of Oz, which I love) I would make it the feature of my outfit, with minimal additions.🧡
Thank you for showing us the process of trying out different items of clothing and accessories to achieve an elevated look. I prefer the dress with no belt because the style shows your waistline without it. Final look was A-1.
I can't wait for summer to come back so I can wear my Ralph Lauren linen gingham dress again. It's so soft and comfortable. I will try it with some different belts too.
Loved the last outfit. Might love it even more with white shoes. Somehow brown leather (the belt you wore for a while) and the wedge shoe straps seem a little heavy for the dress. Maybe then you could use the red bag for a little "pop". Love the way your videos make us think!
When I'm choosing fabric for clothes or a quilt, I keep in mind texture, color, pattern movement and scale, and the general "mood" of the project. I like the casual but crisp gingham dress with a navy belt and shoes, and the cashmere sweater.
The shawl is the best choice. This dress got a bit of a day at the countryside vibe. White trainers, red broad belt and a straw hat and off you go for a nice walk. But for something not so casual, maybe a short darker blue (boxy) Bolero jacket with closed front and round neckline could do something good. But it would need some accessories, maybe a big dark blue chiffon flower.
I feel like ive been through this same process of elimination with an A-line dress and something to keep me warm multiple times. I love the scarf idea. Often i end up with a shorter denim jacket. Those navy shoes are gorgeous.
BTW- wishing you a blessed 🥹, happy, glorious evening ( USA 🇺🇸) and a wonderful day ahead tomorrow
Happy birthday Marie-Anne. Thank you for this video. I liked the LK Bennet cardigan and wedges. I would also team the dress with a white jacket either denim or linen. The belt could be navy or white for me.x
Marie-Anne, when I first started watching your channel, I thought you said “Good morning Friendship Ladies”!
I still think of this when I watch the videos… which I have been for ages now!
I love the cardigan look. What I would do, I’d pull a little “Ines de la Fressange” look… I’dwear the belt on top of the cardigan. I absolutely love that look. Dear Marie-Anne, you continue to inspire me! Every day!🌺🌹
I'm loving the demonstration on elevating an outfit. Very informative and it gives me ideas on styling my linen dresses for the summer.
I like the dress with the brown belt and espadrille for a warm summer day. I like it also without the belt and the cashmere wrap when it's cooler outside. Two beautiful options. ❤
I would wear my true-white leather belt and sandals, and either my white linen or light blue cotton blazer. I find white leather accessories useful in summer because I wear a lot of white and white-based prints, like your pretty gingham there. I love white with tan accessories, too.
Great style laboratory video. I'd use something lighter like a white belt or a white cardigan or blaser (and this case another shoes), to keep it light and airy. I like the last outfit that you put together. Thank you, Marie-Anne!
Very interesting. I loved the belt, espadrilles and jumper for daytime, then swop to your final outfit, wrap and no belt, for evening. I would add a tan bag to complement the tan in the espadrilles. So glad you decide against the jackets! 😮.
Now i want a navy wrap
Yes the wide belt and heels look way better
I love the POP of red handbag!
"WOW" Marianne! ~ That deep blue cashmere scarf was brilliant!
Deborah
I felt compelled to comment, Marie-Anne, because of the way you absolutely transformed that dress with that blue scarf ~ Dazzling! :)
Deborah
First of all, you are adorable. Secondly, the last cashmere wrap/scarf w/o belt and espadrilles were the ticket. Love anything French and living in Seattle - land of yoga pants and birkenstocks - this is a breath of fresh air. Merci!
Would love to see you reprise this for spring/summer 2024! (And, in my opinion, the white-trimmed blazer is a bit too urban feel, fighting with the countryside casual of the dress!)
I will see what I can do Susan - in the meantime there is this www.marieannelecoeur.com/spring-capsule.html 😃
Thanks for showing the process.. helpful to see not just the ensembles that wow, but the combos that don't work.. and why..
For me the wide brown belt is not dainty enough to go with such a summery dress but I like the blue espadrilles.
I love the dress and it went great with the scarf.
I think if I had that dress I would leave the original belt on it. I would not wear anything underneath….ie. …vest top. I would wear a pair of pumps or neutral wedges and have a cardigan the same colour as the blue in the dress …..for when it gets chilly……and carry a straw bag. But that’s me…..😊It’s a delicate looking dress and I would leave it that way…It’s fresh looking and doesn’t need to be bombarded with loads of accessories.
I have same dress like yours, thank you for the idea of adding belt.
I love it with the blue wrap and the blue sweater!
I love your white-trimmed navy blazer, I don’t care if it’s an olde, it’s a goodie. Contrast-trim is one one my favorite classic details, but it comes and goes in fashion. Right now it’s definitely in, so I’m adding a few great items with it to my collection. They have to be in my preferred colors and fabrics, though, and I have to love them.
I love the cut of the dress...it gives you a willow like body profile especially with the wrap focused at the shoulder...when you turn to the side it really calls attention to your figure
For me, I think the dress is so light for spring/summer, that I would choose a white thin material sweater or wrap.
The blue choices look to heavy. ❤ in my opinion 😍
Dear Ms Marie-Anne,
Fun video!
You really nailed the fact that..." trying " is...believing! ;)
We (I !) realize that I (we?) have the tendency to try...one or two options and give up!
You showed us NOT to give up for it to work! Bravo and thank you so much Ms Marie-Anne!!!
helene :)
@@MarieAnneLecoeur merci Madame Marie-Anne :)
The wrap looked the best. I have started using wraps more in my outfits, and I am surprised how good they can look. I have been experimenting with them and have found some beautiful ones for very little money. They are great for warmer evenings and easy to put into my bag. They dress up simple trouser outfits and add some warmth when needed. I will try them with dresses now too. Great video.
Thanks, you and Marie-Anne inspired me to try wrap scarfs in my summer outfits! I'm inspired. It looks elegant yet effortless, something else than jeans jackets/ cardigans/ sweaters.
it's a lovely dress and you look great in it however you wear it. I was wanting you to put a slim white belt with it. The wrap at the end looked fabulous - I'm learning so much from you, so thank you. x
Love the wedges 🎉
That’s a very interesting point What is the outfit demanding. It’s almost like an hypothesis. You have a concept (the outfit idea) and you try to find the facts (what makes it successful or not). I have been trying to do this with my clothes. I still need to do it more often but I am trying 😊
👏 a lovely way to think about it Ms P x
Love the belt with the Sandlers or matches by hills. Even espadrilles. Very smart.
Beautiful dress. Red espadrilles would be fab. Or orange.
Definitely the final version with the wrap/scarf. It suddenly went from a very nice dress and summer sandals to elegant. Voila!! None of the earlier ones worked - the navy blazer with white piping looked as if you were working in Butlins!
Some great tips about trying lots of options - and knowing when to stop. Excellent- thanks Marie-Anne.
Loved the dress 👗 and all the options.
I liked the shawl the best. A white jacket or sweater could look nice too. What a difference the wedges made! You’re posture changed instantly. I see by other comments it’s your birthday! Enjoy your day! 💕
@@MarieAnneLecoeur that’s funny! 😄 I’m an August baby too. May as well start celebrating now. 😊
@@oldcrowcreations Same! 16th.
I like the first look with the gingham dress with its own fabric belt.
I was thinking some white wedge or retro type shoes to candy it up a bit.
I think people are afraid of the English dowdy look but as my waistline spreads with age, etc. I don’t mind it plus a matronly look I think reflects wisdom. The English dowdy look was in the show keeping up appearances. Of course it was not used on the younger women.
Thank you Marie-Anne, you have helped me so much to find and cultivate my own style. Whenever I have a doubt about something, I watch one of your video’s. Merci, merci, et merci encore. Vous êtes juste superbe !! ❤️❤️
Merci beaucoup for another helpful video Marie-Anne!
I have learned, from watching your channel, how to shop more effectively. Rather than see something in a store and buy it solely because I like it, I go through my wardrobe first and think about what I need to finish an existing outfit or what will complement other pieces I already own and then I go shopping. Also, as you mentioned, your outfit will tell you when to stop and it tells us too when something is not quite right. I may not be able to articulate what is wrong but I know to keep trying different tops, belts, accessories, or whatever until it works.
Thank you so much! Have a lovely rest of your day!
Gingham: Chic, classic and preppy. My requirements.
Bonsoir Marie-Anne -
Love the idea of having a conversation with one's outfit. "What is the outfit demanding?" Such a good question to ask myself when I put together pieces from my wardrobe. The dress with the wrap is chic and practical, too. Thank you again!
I would use the first blazer with a narrower tan belt.
Agree with you.❤
I prefer silver with cool blue & white
Love the wedge shoes. I think the cashmere sweater tied over the shoulders and wearing a wide navy belt would be a great look.
I love the dress without a belt ...blue wedge shoes with the lovely cashmere wrap is definitely a yes...I did like the red handbag with it...I look forward to all your videos , they are so informative...thank you
If i had that same dress i would have picked a white canvas and brown leather Ralph Lauren Belt and picked lighter shoes in off white with brown accents , and went with a cardigan in a different color like white , pink or burgundy or even a fun pop of yellow if you can pull yellow off , but picked one that hit at the same point or just below your belt.
I would do it with the navy cardigan, a thinner brown belt and a watch with a brown leather band to tie in with the brown on the shoes. The navy cardi would tie into the navy in the shoes.
Nice dress and espadrilles.
Love the dress! I used to have one just like it many years ago… and it got too tight! Just love the look with the Blazer!
Have emailed you a photo.
Very helpful. Thank you!!!
The dress and shawl looks lovely on you, happy birthday MarieAnne ❤
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Apologies about this 🙂
Good morning
JOYEUX JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE 🎁🎂🎈❤️
I love this vichy style dress!!
Wnioskując po zdjęciu, byłoby Pani w niej ślicznie. Pozdrawiam:)
I actually liked the navy cardigan with the dress 😊😊
Hmmm … I like the dress: love gingham! Would be interesting to see it worn with its own belt, white/ivory cardigan and white/ivory sandals.
I love the end result with the wrap, quite liked the blue cardigan as well but not with the cognac belt.
I thought the red handbag brightened up to whole ensemble and made it fun and lighthearted.
Both blazers were a resounding non for me!
Oh la la Marie Anne - you have very impressive belt collection! 😊 Love your final look with navy cashmere scarf (envious but in good way 😅). But I also liked navy short cardigan L Bennett (something like that). Definitely, espadrilles elevate the outfit much better than flats.
I am buying on sale nice sweaters - cold and rainy here.. Winter..
I have a number of blue and white summer dresses which I always wear with a white cardigan. To complement the look I wear more nude-like sandals (or heels) and a light coloured handbag. At 5’3” this somewhat monochromatic colour scheme helps to create an illusion of height.
Like brown belt , navy and brown wedges
A dark Levi'sjean jackst would be perfect.
I like the LK Bennett short cardigan………but I remember from a previous video…… A dark pink cropped cardigan over that dress with pink shoes…loved that look. Great master class. Merci.
Yes blue Shaw looks great but what about trying a blue Demi jacket or a white blazer???❤️
That's what I was thinking of, a white Blazer.
I liked the cardigan. I think I would choose a braided leather belt, some white canvas espadrilles, a white cardigan, and a white bag.
I think you could wear it plain with white converse and an oversized straw tote for a casual beach look. Or just with some strappy cognac sandals so it doesn't look overly conservative.
You really do have a great eye. And I totally agree about knowing when to stop. I think it's a mistake of so many. It's like Coco Chanel used to say about looking in the mirror before leaving the house and taking one thing off. I do that all the time. When you over-accessorize or mix too many colors/patterns it's just not chic and also looks like you're trying too hard.
As always, very accurate in your observations of the creation of the look. I love the dress by the way, I'm a big fan of vichy prints
In Thanksgiving: ( USA 🇺🇸) : btw: The Presentation ( Fashion-Savvy) is wonderful: again, The Presentation ( Fashion-Savvy) is wonderful
I would have tried a wider navy blue or white belt, although actually, I liked the self-matching belt.
I think the dress is lovely and I liked the sweater with it better than the blazer! Good tips!
About the birthday wishes - I just followed other greetings, thought I'd missed out. X
Agree about the scarf--but if it were me, I'd fold it in half length-wise--and maybe knot it on either side, to wear as more of a 'shrug'---this way, the cute top design/details of the front of the dress are visible, while still providing a bit of warmth and visual interest around the shoulders.
I have the same dress and you gave me inspiration for many looks and combinations with it. Thank you, I love your style and your energy. Greetings from Greece 💙
The first dress, I think would be better with silver and stop trying to match gold. Blue is a cool color, as is silver. They would compliment each other. I would choose different shoes too. Maybe a white with silver trim or buckles. I loved the wrap.
that dress is truly beautiful, Marie Anne!
I would wear white sandals and a white belt which ties in with the white tank. Looks more summery.
You give excellent demonstrations on elevating outfits. It's amazing. The dress in this case is known as the "June Cleaver" in the US. Culturally and historically, it's associated with being a perfect 1950s-60s housewife. I doubt that many women old enough to remember June Cleaver will wear a dress like this, HOWEVER, that doesn't detract from the lesson here which is top notch.
I loved the series that featured June Cleaver...she was very elegant
I'm going for wide navy belt & shoes; swap those out for red; add statement jewelry. I enjoy a wrap, but material weight of it, imho, should also complement the dress and be suited to the activity. Additionally a hat could tie the components together. I do enjoy these styling sessions, Marie-Anne. God bless 💖🙏👑✝
I like this dress 👗 I’d wear it often. What about a thin red belt and white wedge sandals?
Thought the cardi looks the best, but with a different belt, maybe a thinner white or navy belt
👍👍👍🌸🌹🔹️ and you go from day to evening (depends on the cavalier 🤣🤣🤣 ) i can always tell the woman who is chic at heart ... she knew when to stop ! ☆ I think I could wear a blue flower in my hair ( or a red one ! ...depends on the cavalier 🤣🤣 ! ☆🔷️🔲❤️
