How about the opposite concept. My mother used to say, “We’re too poor to buy cheap’. To her this meant that buying a quality timeless item was really worth it. For example when I was 22 I bought an expensive classic cashmere wool plaid suit coat. My mother helped me buy it, saying that I would wear it a lifetime. Now I am 62 and I still wear this little jacket and still love it. When I bought it I thought it was too much money, but over the decades it has been a super value of quality and style.

I won’t waste my money on synthetic fabrics anymore. If it’s not cotton, linen, silk, wool, etc I just know it’s not going to feel good and breathe well. A thought on the tailoring bit: I usually spend more on items I know I need tailored, as I know it’s an investment that will return in cost per wear. Why spend the money to get H&M trousers tailored when they will likely only last a few seasons? Where as my J Crew trousers I had perfectly fitted will serve me well for years to come!

After buying a ton of luxury sunglasses, I’ve learned that the quality isn’t as good as companies that specialize in just sunglasses. My friend who works at the optometrist warned me that Tom Ford glasses are poor quality.

My mother use to say to me regarding high-end designer logo items, “are they paying you to advertise for them?” 😂. I like being discreet.

Liked your tips. Uncomfortable shoes are not worth it. A travel hints and budget video would be great. The only time I was in first class was for the last hour of a trip after I had provided medical assistance to someone.

[susanking]

Yes, please make a travel budget video.

1. Designer goods without the quality to back them up
2. Fancy things you can only wear one time
3. Expensive clothing that doesn't fit and needs to be tailored
4. First class tickets
5. Designer shoes that are uncomfortable

I enjoy how you incorporate shades of green in your wardrobe! I like to wear green and you provide wonderful inspiration.

I've migrated from buying basics at HM to buying them at Uniqlo and I feel like there's a world of difference between those two brands and their quality and overall appeal. Even their cashmere sweaters ($100.00) feel timeless. Same with their cashmere/wool coats ($150.00).

I like to spend money on good skincare but am happy to use drugstore ‘colours’ eg blusher, eyeshadow, eyebrow colour etc. Also, I don’t buy expensive make up brush cleaner, I find mild baby shampoo does just as good a job at a fraction of the cost. Love your videos Audrey, they have helped me a lot with my wardrobe .

[allieshepherd]

I completely agree with everything you talked about, it’s not new concepts, however it’s helpful to be reminded. Thank you for sharing.

We once went first class to Paris on Air France because I got a good offer from them five days before the flight and it was my husband’s first time to Paris. It was heaven! We’ll probably never afford that again, but what a lovely memory. The food! The service! The toiletries in the enormous rest room! Sleeping under the down duvet and actually feeling like humans when we arrived! Priceless.

Love your videos! Yes, a travel video: packing, traveling, airline and destination with your appealing style all though.
I do buy a first class ticket for the one vacation I take a year. It's a long flight and I'm older now so most of a day of travel that is uncomfortable isn't fun at all. As soon as I step out the door to be driven to the airport I am vacationing! So for me first class is worth it. It saves me time and sanity. To me its like buying higher quality items. If I traveled frequently or short distances it would be different.

[janicevin]

Yes to a in depth travel tips videos! I love travelling too! Agree with all your "not worth the money" items! I am older now and I stopped lusting after all the designer bags that I use to aspire to buy when I was younger! I now think that some prices are absolutely insane for a piece of clothing or accessory. We need more contents showing good quality, good design pieces without big names attached and some content showing what other things you can do if you have a few hundred or thousand dollars to spend.

I was thinking of you today, Audrey! I went out to return some shoes I ordered online that weren't up to snuff, and rather than my usual inclination to shop at other nearby stores, I thought of the Thursday Boots I now intend to order instead and headed straight for my car! I was quite proud to think how freeing it has been to have SO many choices eliminated for what I bring into my home! As you have helped me to further hone my wardrobe, I have been dismayed to find how many items I still have that will eventually need to go, but what I have learned is so valuable, I know after this there will be far fewer instances now that I have an intentional plan! Thank you for all you have shared with us!

A thoughtful piece however, I do travel by business or first class. I have had a DVT which the doctors think was caused by a long trip by plane. I need the space to move around a bit or even stand periodically. I look at my expensive tickets as an investment in my health.

[NicolasFairford]

Such a great video! Your outfit and hair are totally stunning x

[diannaanderson]

Definitely a travel video! I, like you, travel "on the cheap", but expend on experiences once I get to my location.
Pictures, memories, and good company are the value of a trip.

[elizabethbonanno]

We’re are completely aligned except whenever I can I go first class I travel so much for work the little luxury pays off big time for me! Your hair looks fab, AGAIN! Thank you for the inspiration!

[cinnamongirl]

I just polished and brushed my shoes yesterday! I always think about your tips while purchasing. I cant help but notice everytime how your fabrics lay and the stitching holds up the clothes in such an elegant way. It is very noticeable how you care about your clothes and you're a massive inspiration to me. Thank you for the wisdom♥️♥️
