I’m 47, born and raised in LA. I have never used false eyelashes, hair extensions, Botox, fillers etc. I am a rarity indeed! Less is more ladies! 💗💗💗

[veronicaroy]

Absolutely agree. No fake nails, no giant heeled shoes, no long loose hair or tendrils. No union jack t shirts, no ripped jeans, no shorts, no leggings without a bottom-covering blouse or tunic.

[weebizzom]

I agree with all of these, and I would add two things. (1) Fake tan. It doesn’t fool anyone. I saw a woman recently whose face, arms and legs were different colours – beech, teak and walnut, I would say. She looked like a marquetry coffee table! (2) Fast fashion. Not only for the obvious reasons like poor treatment of workers, pollution and poor quality garments, but it goes out of fashion so quickly and somehow, last year’s look seems worse on an older lady than on a teenager. It is not just mutton dressed as lamb, it is more like mutton trying to dress as lamb and not quite succeeding – rather undignified.

[MegInASheathDress]

No logo shirts, no cartoon characters or school names or product names on shirts.

I also don't buy a ton of makeup. I have 5 products I use, and when I run out, I either replace it with the same product or try a different brand. Minimalist makeup. Great video. ❤

T- shirts that SAY THINGS. (over age of 30) I LOVED this VIDEO!!!! A wise lady told me about 20 years ago good advice "Never turn yourself into a walking greeting card". That helped me VERY MUCH!

[karijuvik]

I’m Norwegian and would never spend money on most of these things either, the exception is backpack. We are using backpacks a lot, especially in nature. I do agree they are not very safe to use in a large city or in crowded places, unless they have a pocket you can’t access unless you take the backpack off. Other things I would never spend money on is tattoos and piercings. (Earlobes excepted)

[MazzaCheewanich]

Yes! Let's bring back classy not cheap style to the mainstream.

[paris]

This video really made me smile, and it’s a yes to those things from me. Another to add to the list are expensive lotions and potions that promise my face and body will travel back in time and be wrinkle free, will make me look younger etc. They won’t. I think I had to be a woman of a certain age to accept this because although I knew it, I was always lured by the advertising. Not any more, I know what suits my face and body and am happy with the products I buy x

[davidleahusa]

Absolutely agree!! Another fabulous video!! Never spend on a fake tan, crocks, fat flip flops, fake bust, skimpy swimsuits, or polyester clothing. 😊❤️

[Tina-jibj]

Agreed!… also those individual coffee pods, Starbucks coffee, and expensive make up

[nena]

What a beautiful shadow stripe blouse!!

[MsJuliadanny]

“If I exercise I know it, if I don’t exercise I know it, too” 😄😄😄it also hardly escape my notice, even if I am absent-minded

[pam]

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said, Marie-Anne. Something that I see as a waste of money for me is coffee to-go. I purchase locally-roasted beans, grind them at home, and make the most delicious coffee in the same French press I’ve been using for years.

[cedarrockcabin]

I agree 100%. My daughter was an esthetician and told me the lash extension adhesive and false eyelash adhesive can damage the lash follicle as well. I don't understand investing in special athletic clothing to go walking in, even for power walking. My husband and I power walk around a local lake regularly and it amazes me how many women wear expensive yoga clothing to walk in. I really don't understand it. Joanne

[DebraNo]

I completely agree about these things, but I will say that my adult children have gifted me several pairs of holiday earrings. So I do wear those, since they make me smile knowing people I love the most bought them for me. ❤

[Di-Pi]

I’m 72, used to be a stylist back in late 80’s. I agree with everything Marie-Anne says here. Keep it classic, keep it high quality, and never EVER dye your hair purple! 😂

[ЧаїзМолоком]

I agree with you Marie-Anne. My pearl earrings are my favourite too. I keep my fingernails natural and do my own manicures. I will go for a good pedicure. I don't buy trendy items as I prefer to buy Classic styles that will last throughout the seasons. A Backpack is for going to the outdoors for a nature hike, otherwise I prefer a crossbody purse with a handle. I cannot wear high heels because of my back but up to 1 inch heel or flats is what works for me.

[MammyCher]

Raised in Boston, I am 63 and omg I agree with everything! I just had to say! Makes me feel good I am so chic. Thank you.

[deden]

I think the biggest and most serious waste of money happens when one doesn’t have focus to build the wardrobe properly… As you teach in your marvelous videos!

[ghenet]

Agreed with you 💯with everything you said, fake hair, fake anything it's a no no.
Your show is my favourite show elegant and practical
