How to add some “chic” to a casual outfit - What to wear
Casual chic is in between casual & formal in terms of dress code. In this video, I put together a casual outfit & then I show you how to accessorize it, how to play with colors & why materials and texture are important.

Hi 😘 Do you find these tips on “casual chic” helpful? Would you like me to do another video for any other style? Any other video topic you would like to see?

[AlysseSailor]

I really appreciate this channel. I find certain YouTubers become a bit too brash, casual, annoying, and less informative after awhile in how they express their opinions. I love how personable and straight forward Justine is in every video. Always learning a new way to articulate things from her 🌻

[AleenaMalik]

I love how casually you speak and how simple your videos are. No fancy animation or music, just clear audio with a great voice! Thank you so much <3 Starting my morning with you and some coffee is a fabulous way to start the day

[emeraldwaters]

Your “shoulder hole!”😃👏🏼👏🏼 and bracelet!😫 (I can’t take how cute it is.) Justine, you are the BEST PERSON ON THE PLANET. You do everything with care and precision and are quietly uplifting and inspiring people daily — well beyond the realm of style advice. Thank you!!!!

I love your point about telling the brain the distinctions between focussed work time and down time. It makes such a huge difference. Our brains are very tricky and will sabotage us without such instruction. I have also been stepping up my skin care and daily grooming as well as dressing attractively during quarantine/isolation to lift my spirits without sacrificing comfort. I am also about to celebrate a birthday and have planned a lovely 4 course dinner with champagne for the occasion. I've planned an amazing outfit that always makes me feel like a million bucks and solicits compliments (even though I'm dining solo). I am not about to let a virus drag me down to the lowest slovenly denominator. That level of resistance is always my choice.

The texture does matter. Be it chic. Be it bohemian. Be it formal. I loved that bit!

[emmasanders]

"chic isn't just the way you look, it's the way you feel". So much this! It's taken me a long time to realise this, but comfort = confidence. (You also need style, but you know what I mean)! For me this particularly means footwear : if your shoes pinch, or are so high that you can't walk comfortably and elegantly, you just look like you're trying too hard, and are not comfortable in your skin.

Thank you, Justine for your professionalism in regards to your video production. I so appreciate your direct and succinct style of presentation. Thank you for not making your viewers watch a long, musical intro every time They view one of your videos. Thanks for not sharing your cute pets or explaining something or some noise in the background, etc. I’m busy. I want to get to the point. I really have learned a lot from you about fashion that is meaningful in my own life. I’ve become more thoughtful about how my purchases impact our world in so many ways. I’m still learning, but I’ve become more focused on what I want from my closet and how to get it. Though still a work in progress, my wardrobe is much more in control than it once was. When friends tell me they have nothing to wear or it takes forever to get dressed, I refer them to you. Thank you.

[hiawathia]

I didnt quite get the matching your jewelry with lipstick tip until i looked down and saw your wrist. I really liked your look. Very chic indeed.

[mariek.]

As wearing a sweatpants + hoodie combo right now, I feel called out haha

[TheEwqua]

"let's say you're wearing black from head to toe" ... yup, that's me, my wardrobe is 100% black. It's also minimalist, slightly more formal than necessary (I just love shirts okay), and somewhat androgynous although I do have some very feminine clothing that I enjoy wearing from time to time.
Wearing all black has made me recognize and appreciate materials, shapes, cuts, textures of clothes. Before, I had no sense of fashion, I wore blue jeans and ill-fitting T-shirts. Maybe I'll introduce color into my wardrobe in time, but my horizons have been widened with how much variety there can be with only one color.

[adriannaarletasmolarek]

I see it already has been mentioned, but still it's a great idea: a vid about the androgynous style!! I find the aesthetic to quite interesting

[emilianachateau]

PLEASE talk about the causal - chic a little androgynous look. I'm thinking Emma Watson's street style.

Almost to 1M ! I remember when she only had 200K... I feel like a proud father 🤗 lol

Instead of collecting souvenirs, a few years back I starting "collecting" photos of beautiful or interesting Churches in the places I visit.
I am not a photographer but most of these pictures were taken by me. I did purchase one. Now I have a gallery wall in my home of Churches that spoke to my heart when I saw them. I love this wall! Thank you Justine, for all of your inspiration!

[Carolleemakesthings]

I wish I had had access to a professional stylist in my youth, but better late than never, thank you, I feel more organized already!

[ananyarath]

I love the graceful & gentle, ivy league grad older sister vibes. this really is my Favourite channel 🥺💖

[sharahhaque]

Merci Justine. I love the simple aesthetic and straightforwardness of your videos. You're also super chic! From Canada

[monika]

You should create an app which could help people to create and follow their style! I really in need of something like that!

[shirleylangton]

I love your videos. I live in ranching country where clothing is of less importance, and people don't dress up very much anymore. I am a senior now and long for days where we dressed up to go out, and try to be stylish. It just makes me feel better to get out of jeans and wear something really stylish.
