 Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle in styling So today is gonna be a video just kind of chopping it up about Ways you can create a long lasting wardrobe, so I Was thinking about this this whole thing about quiet luxury. I don't know they have a name for it now But growing up in New York City I I guess I guess it was quite luxury then seeing women wear certain types of Jackets and shoes and stuff and bags that weren't like logo heavy So for me it really wasn't a name. I just always felt I used to call it What did I use to call it? I think I used to call it like she got money Look right because it was never really loud with like a bunch of logos and stuff that kind of came out I want to say I'm b43 so let's think When Gucci was like really starting when they started coming up with like Like a lot of logos on their bags like their logo heavy bags Not Louis Vuitton because Louis Vuitton was always out and I just remember my aunt wearing this when I was a child but Especially the Gucci especially like when that really hit and people were able to afford it and I am gonna say It has a lot to do with When Gucci used to have their okay, so in New York, you guys know they have sample cells like all the time and then at one point Gucci had like a Their annual sales they used to have like twice a year, I believe they stopped in 2017 but they used to have like these annual sales twice a year and The bags like them they're like 40% off maybe even 50% Depending but a lot of people were able to buy them then what used to be on sale was the The left their old leather the soho bags used to be on sale their Boston bags used to be on sale and It was one other bag, but any of those so whole leather bags They definitely used to be on sale and you can still find those at like Um Outlets now so I wanted to talk to you guys about three strategies like that will help you create a long lasting wardrobe and I'm looking down at this piece of paper. Well my phone Because I wrote some stuff down in here and I wrote it down because I this is how I shop and I'm not gonna say that I am Perfect as shopping and doing things When I do have clients I definitely teach them ways so that they can shop a smart way as opposed to just buying a bunch of Logos and the reason why I do that is because 99% of the times these women do not have a Lot of clothes in their closets or they're trying to completely wipe out everything so you don't really want to Have them buy things with a bunch of logos and then they're kind of stuck with not being able to like use it multiple different ways So here are my three ways that I would start to create a long lasting wardrobe And first thing I want to say is you want to start to understand your wardrobe goals What are your wardrobe goals? Do you want are you a person who really loves shoes and bags, right? Or are you a person who loves jackets who loves jackets and coats and blazes? Are you a person who's really into like minimal styles as far as like Designs like no ruffles just like basic things but really really great quality Think about your wardrobe goals. That is going to help you build it out All right, if you are following a lot of fashion Girlies or even fashion guys and you find yourself Buying everything that they have but ultimately you feel like you still really don't have a lot of clothes That is solely because you don't have your Your I was gonna say targeted pieces You don't have the pieces in your wardrobe that make it a functional wardrobe And I talk about this as a style coach to my clients I really don't talk about it much here But you need certain things in your wardrobe in order for it to function properly like those basic white t-shirts Those basic white button-up shirts those camisoles like those things they really are needed Especially when you are buying things that is a very on trend You need to be able to mix and match it with something that is a little bit more minimal as far as style so start understanding your wardrobe and Don't overthink it Start creating a Pinterest Pinterest board and I like to say a Pinterest board because I'm just sitting here comfortably guys talking to you a Pinterest board because it's easy. You can visually see what you want You can add things to you can snap photos or you could actually put it in your cell phone. I actually have In my phone, I have a section in my photos that I take pictures of stuff and I just plop it in there I also have a section in my phone of outfits that I have created So almost like a capsule wardrobe Sometimes I like to be in here and just when I buy new things I like to make sure that I can actually wear that item multiple ways with different things that I already have That is why I love to talk about cost per wear guys If you're buying something and you can't wear it multiple times It's not really a great investment That is key when you are building out a wardrobe you want to be able to wear your items of multiple ways so That's my first tip for someone who is trying to start to build out a wardrobe as a long lasting wardrobe You number two you want you want to make sure that your wardrobe has the proper essential items So that's what I'm gonna piggyback off for the first thing in order to have a functional wardrobe You need to have your essential pieces and again those are your honestly you can go on Google You could go to my website there's so many lists of Essential pieces that you need in your wardrobe in order to make it functional Behind me. You see all of my shoes and everything here. I have big feet. Okay So I Can't just go and buy every designer shoe that I want. It's just not gonna happen This is why I always talk about it's important to have your own personal style Otherwise, you're gonna be frustrated that some of these brands don't cater to your body And this goes for anyone if you're petite if you're tall if you're plus size your body is not proportion Like the clothes that they're making in the styles of shoes that they're making. It's just what it is So so happen. There are some girls who wear like a size 7 8 and they have like a nice slim little foot They can get away with stuff But then you have girls who have like really really slim feet the shoes are too wide for them Or the girlies that have really wide feet. They just can't get into anything, right? So for me I buy things that actually work well with my body I talk about this on TikTok because at the end of the day as a woman who is 60 tall I Refuse to get frustrated when I am shopping at the mall because they don't have something in my size So I always go into the mall with the mindset of I'm gonna find something that's gonna fit me today Regardless of it's a pair of shoes a shirt some earrings or something I'm leaving there with something if you are not comfortable with shopping at the mall Especially if you're tall and you feel like you're not gonna find anything Go online because here's the thing you want that experience, right? You want to be in the morning Want to try stuff on it's just what it is you could order it have a sent to your house But then you got to order multiple sizes. That's another thing, but if you're at the store you could actually try it on Boom you have oh, excuse me guys. You have it in your in your home. So Think about things like that when you are going to the mall don't automatically assume that they won't have anything in your size But again, I do buy things that fit my body type. I also When I am purchasing things that do cost a lot of money, so I have that sweater here It's over there. This is I have two Alexander Wayne sweaters that are oh My god, so nice and they were expensive However, I'm gonna have them for a really long time like a really really really long time So even when I take them to the cleanest I have to be careful because I do not want them to mess that top up with those two sweaters Well, actually it's three of them now So yes, that is the second thing you want to make sure your wardrobe has the proper Essentials and to be honest like simple things like pumps like classic pumps are always needed I don't care how many shoes you have you need a nude pair of pumps and a black pair of pumps for those days Well, you just want to wear a pair of simple jeans some nice new pumps and a white shirt literally And my last thing is you want to choose pieces that can be worn in multiple ways I talked about that again in the second part multi-use items are key Period so I'll give you an example I'm just gonna use a pair of shades four person Who loves shades, right? if you're buying shades and They have like a bunch of crazy colors If you are a person who loves to have a ton of shades I am that's my fuck my camera died All right, so as I was saying I Totally like lost track of my stuff So the last thing I wanted to say was choosing like classic pieces and stuff The rich sorry, I was looking at my cell phone when I say classic pieces I mean like here's an example. I was gonna bring out the shades, right? So for a person who has a ton of shades I'm almost a hundred percent sure if you are watching this video You have a classic pair of Twitter show shades. I don't care how many Glasses you own you are going to have a classic pair of Twitter show and you're also gonna have a Black pair right these are classic colors another classic piece would be Let me give you guys these some aviators. These are all classic These will always stand the test of time These simple three shades right here the black ones. Let's come a little closer the black ones Don't know if you guys can see Because you know my zoom be off these a Twitter shell kind and Then a pair of aviators Right These are all classic You will wear these multiple ways, okay multiple ways now What's not classic are these? I Don't think well, you know what the shape possibly can be classic But the color is not necessarily classic because it wouldn't go with everything and these are more like a Like an ivory color And something like that now here's the thing the reason why I purchased these guys was because I wanted to buy the Christian I was there think about Christian Dior and Honey when I saw these at key I was like, let's try these first and I like them I didn't like them enough to where I wanted to go buy the Christian Dior ones I don't know so I I'm just a little bit smart when it comes to shopping and certain things that I would invest in And some that I wouldn't but fashion is fashion and you can definitely wear Whatever you want guys as long as you are comfortable in it and it looks good on you. That's it So those are my three ways of how to create a long-lasting wardrobe I'm just gonna run through them really quick again. The first thing is Understanding your wardrobe goals. These are so cute The second thing is make sure you have the proper wardrobe Essentials and then the third thing is make sure you are investing in classic pieces Again, the classic pieces will fall into that hole I want to say quiet luxury because you're buying things like the saline box bag I really like that bag. It's very sleek and clean my type of bag And that's on my list to purchase. I like it like it's simple If you know, you know, right? So that's how I am. So to me, that's quiet luxury, right? If you know, you know, I don't feel like Like these like my Gucci belt I haven't worn it in so long, but the chain one. I Love it. I love it a lot. Like I'm glad I purchased it It only has the GDs at the bottom So majority of the chain is just a link, but it's a really good purchase because it's very heavy but Those are the three ways guys if you have any type of questions on this You guys know my Instagram. I talk about building a wardrobe all the time on my business page not so much in my personal page People tell me I should mix it too But I really don't want to because one I strictly talk about tall girl stuff and just stuff that You know, I like the other one I do focus on a certain target of women But those are three ways that I feel like you can start to build a long lasting wardrobe and Another thing I would say is Don't rush because this is like a big key Let me sit back Don't rush and do it. Okay. Don't call yourself Taking a whole bunch of money and going to Buy a bunch of stuff at one time It's just not gonna work out the way you want it to work out and the reason why I'm saying that is because Things are changing every day in the store. So this is why I say build a Pinterest board create something in your phone that way, you know exactly what you need So number two those essential items get those first I'm trying to teach you something guys get those essential items first forget what everybody else is doing Get the essential pieces first Trust me, you will thank your wardrobe. Your wardrobe will thank you later and your pockets Okay, yes, you have to still replace some of these items like white button-up shirts and stuff because after a while They start to look a little dingy But the reality of it is those classic pieces make your wardrobe functional and it helps you create outfits daily It helps you get dressed quicker It helps you not over shop. So Yes guys, that is it So let me know if you guys have any questions on trying to build a long-lasting wardrobe I can definitely give you guys some good feedback You guys know my channel is like a mix of all of the things but I wanted to talk about that today because I am in the middle of revamping some things in here I'm working on my home.
