The Goal should always be to look "Well put together" great tip!

@TheChicMaven 3 года назад

Thanks!☺

@davidasingleton8943 3 года назад

It’s the melanin, the aura, the classiness, the put together ness, the hair, the make up, the strut…. The outfits was just a bonus! You go girl! We will miss you on your break but I know you got to do what you love and make that money font let it make you! LOL

@Firefly471 3 года назад

Very true! My first thought was well, look like a beautiful model first- as she does

@hausofrlateish 3 года назад

I love your style. And I agree. Looking well put together should be the goal. Expensive doesn't always equal better.

@TheChicMaven 3 года назад

Thank you so much!!

@kwr2879 3 года назад

Also, wearing clothes that fits you properly and is your correct size...I love the white dress you wore with the 'wing' in the back, but I thought the navy dress was the most expensive.

@TheChicMaven 3 года назад

yes absolutely you have to get the right size. Thank you

@le.1387 3 года назад

and buying your correct size will save you so much more money in the long run. I know I can squeeze into a size L but a size XL looks the best on me and I'm more likely to reach out for that piece over the size L where I'll most likely be adjusting myself for the rest of the day.

@effiebroadnax 3 года назад

I love that no matter what you wear it's always classy

@chrissiec2123 2 года назад

The tips of taking clothes to a tailor and seamstress to get them properly hemmed and lined were especially helpful! I'd never heard those tips until you said them!

@hottienumber09 3 года назад

Thank you for saying that if you buy classic and strategic pieces from fast fashion and take care of them they can look expensive and last. I agree and I think too many influencers shame us for not purchasing higher priced items, which are therefore automatically considered "quality" pieces. Not everyone has a budget for that, but everyone wants to look nice.

@unatismajeke 3 года назад

Exactly, it's not even about being expensive!!! Being put together and being comfortable is really important for me. And choosing good quality pieces that will last.

@mb5823 3 года назад

Great tips. I was fortunate to have my mother actually share most of this stuff with me growing up. The best tip you gave to me today was switching the buttons. I have refused to purchase numerous coats and blazers in the store because of the cheap buttons. It never dawned on me to just buy some new buttons!!

@AhlannaLaShaye 3 года назад

I used to hate being petite but once I figured out how to dress my body type I’ve grown to love my body. In addition to watching other petite women such as yourself. ♥️ and I had no CLUE Zappos had clothes! Congrats on the sponsorship!

@tgtgtgtgtgtgtg 3 года назад

Everybody “wants” to be small with a coke shape not realizing nobody makes clothes for us bc overweight is the norm now. I’d just like some jeans that fit my legs/butt and waist 😭

@reneep333 2 года назад

@@tgtgtgtgtgtgtg have you tried AG (Adriano Goldschmied) Jeans? I have wider hips but a narrow waist, and they fit me with no waist gap! I recently discovered them and wish I had known about them sooner! The price is on the higher end though.

@cynthiahoyi3925 2 года назад

@AlwayzShey I agree! It’s definitely always about knowing how to dress your body. I see a lot of plus size women who just absolutely Look amazing because they know how to dress for their bodies, VS the slim/thin people. Kristen is absolutely gorgeous and her fashion sense is amazing, but I wouldn’t call her “petite”, as she mentioned in her get to know me video that she’s almost 5ft 8, and people who are petite are 5’3 and under. You can be plus size and still petite. ❤️❤️

@nakia8710 3 года назад

Wow 2 videos in one week! This was great and I loved how you stated we should aim to look put together not expensive! So many great tips especially the buttons. My Grandmom (she was a seamstress) used to say everyone well dressed woman needs a tailor and a cobbler. Also thanks for introducing me to Alix NYC! I love so many of their pieces that are moderately priced. And yes to plenty of the model walk🔥

@TheChicMaven 3 года назад

You’re so beautiful, professional and your classy character is well needed and appreciated on this platform. Keep doing you !

@jackiepeavy5505 2 года назад

👍the navy dress ...fave

@unatismajeke 3 года назад

I definitely can't tell, but I love the white dress.

@kimmy3167 3 года назад

Hey side note… can you do a video on your top niche fragrances 😀. So I thought the first dress was the most expensive. Just from my viewpoint, the fabric itself , the color and style of the dress made it look more expensive. I’m a seamstress, so I totally agree that the fabric choice can definitely make the garment look more expensive or not. Also, I’ve realized that it’s not always how much you spend on an outfit , it’s how you rock it! You can make an inexpensive outfit look expensive with your confidence, accessories, your undergarments and how you carry yourself.

@TheChicMaven 3 года назад

Yes you're absolutely right!

@oceangrey8796 2 года назад

The white dress to me was to die for.

@finewine6659 2 года назад

Fabulous! I'm in my 50s and believe a woman should always look well put together. Call me old-fashioned... I have pieces in my closet that are 10, 15 years old. I still get stopped, complimented on them, and asked where they're from. Some designer, some fast fashion. So yes investment in good classic pieces is a given in my book.

@lethu6413 3 года назад

Your style is unmatched mama! 😍😍

@veronicapurcell6239 3 года назад

I totally agree with you. Dress your style not to look expensive. I lean towards classic styles as a personal choice and integrate periodic trendy pieces. Attention to other aspects are equally as important. You are right on point. Always enjoy your great, videos packed with useful, wise advice. Thank you for sharing.

@marka.clarkii9764 3 года назад

The way you twirled around in that rust color dress, I could tell it was the most expensive one out the bunch, so I guessed right. You looked amazing in all the dresses, but for some reason I believe the rust color dress felt the best.

@avisware5038 3 года назад

Wow I’m I the only one that wishes your videos were an hour long 🤔 Great pointers! I loved when you said it’s not looking expensive that matters but looking put together , I choose the white dress oopsie always thank you for your great content ❤️❤️

I thought the midnight blue dress fabric was 'silk charmeuse'. I Appreciate your emphasis on the steps involved in Presentation!!! Ones "Purchase Power" doesn't equal Class; Sophistication or most important Self Confidence!!! It's important (in my opinion) to give proper attention to how we feel about ourselves!!!🕊️👼🏾🙏🏾

@thebessyeung 2 года назад

I love the change the buttons tip. It really does do the trick. After the buttons were changed, the jacket looks a lot more sophisticated and elegant.

Hey Kristen, I love shopping online at Zappos. I’ve found some great deals on clothing and shoes. Also, the delivery of your items are fast. In the beginning I would have chosen the black dress. However, the rust dress drapes differently based on the fabric. I’m quite sure the rust dress is silk which is more expensive. But, everything was lovely. Thanks for the wonderful tips. Stay blessed as always.🙏🏾🤎

Oops cut my sentence off……it’s about how you feel when wear your clothing, confidence shines through no matter the price points, if one feels good then it shows. Thank you for the dress comparison, thought the navy first one was the most expensive and not the mustard. Navy to me always looks classy and expensive. Actually who is the navy draped dress by, love it. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos, you are an inspiration on how to elevate a wardrobe with a few simple pieces. Cheers. 💐

All the tips made perfect fashion sense, especially about upgrading or elevating it by changing the small details like buttons and hemming, etc. You were quite thorough,in your presentation, giving explicit explanation and actual examples from your own wardrobe. This video catered also to us who shop on the low

Although I’m aware of this information, you present excellently and deserve the credit for it!
