So, a few days ago, I discovered your channel and found myself bingeing about 5 of your videos in a row. You so inspired me, I ended the day by taking out many articles of clothing from my closet and throwing things together that I never previously would have thought would go! Then, the next day my daughter and I went thrifting (as we have been doing for decades), and I swear, Diana, you have opened up my eyes, because I found a whole bunch of things I would never have even looked at before! Not only that, but when I got them home, I immediately began styling them with the few scarves (sadly, very few silk ones) and jackets and other pieces I own, and I had a blast! I'm 78 and sad that it took me this long to fully enjoy clothes, but better late than never! Love, love, love your channel; you are amazing.
Oh, man, this just made my day. I'm 58 and have been feeling like I needed something different in my wardrobe. Love it, that at 78, you're finding this. Better late than never! I live in Costa Rica, a transplant from Portland, Oregon four years ago. The first year, I couldn't find a thrift store. I mentioned it to a Costa Rican friend and she said, "Oh, here they are called "Americanas" Funny! Next time I go, I'll be looking for STATEMENT pieces and some basics as well. Good luck thrifting, jjsquad!
Hi, I'm from Germany and almost 57 years old. I adore the way you put your outfits together and your ideas. You are the first fashion blogger I subscribe to. Getting good tips and always a good lough. You deserve much more subscribers
What a fantastic haul! I love that you created SO many wonderful outfits. The French Girl style is simple yet elegant snd beautiful, plus flattering. I adore it and you. ❤
Just found your channel. My Mom and I have been lifelong thrifters/fashion enthusiasts.. but somehow, watching your videos has given us both even MORE enthusiam, lol. LOVE LOVE LOVE your approach, and your je ne sai quoi!!💖 Keep the camera rolling.. we'll be watching.😊
I loved all your looks. The red dress! THE RED DRESS! I enjoy your videos so much. I think you could put on a flour sack with a hole for your head and two for your arms and throw on a scarf and look fabulous!
I would love to see how you tie those scarves in the back. Especially the scarves that look like chokers. I have a lot of thrifted silk scarves too and love to see your use of them.
Fantastic! Every combination totally looks out of the streets of Paris ❤ so lovely, thank you for sharing your charm & creativity (I love e scarfs too🥰)
Thank you! I love thrifting more than regular shopping for so many reasons! I really love that it's always a surprise. Sometimes you might find nothing. Other trips have you crying over what you have to put back because there's just too many great things. I love the drama!
You are encouraging me to play in my closet again! I have lots of clothes but I don’t take the time to make outfits. I get disappointed when I’m trying to make an outfit but it doesn’t seem to work. You are beautiful 🦋
Hi Diana, just stumbled onto your channel and enjoying so much! I have a closet full of clothes that I only bern wearing a few of - youve inspired me to kick it up a notch and have fun with it. Thank you, and keep up the great work, the world needs to look better, feel better, and give off good vibes to others. ❤
Just found your channel and I love your style. I'm much older than you (72) and would love to see if you have any ideas for my age. Can you come shopping with me...😂 ?
I agree with valiaudet! Anything she showed can be worn by women of any age. It’s all about the confidence. Who cares if our bodies aren’t smooth and Barbie doll-like? It’s not like we’re out to seduce the guys now that we’re in our 70s! 😅 Plus, the scarves and cardigans can camouflage a lot of imperfections. Edit: just subscribed! ❤
Right! There's no age limit on clothes, only comfort levels and everyone's comfort level is different! I mostly only style a short skirt or shorts to encourage older women to try it. I'm 47 and a lot of my friends my age don't do it for many reasons: cellulite, spider veins, out of shape, but some of them just don't do it because they think they shouldn't. I'm just trying to get our heads out of that type of thinking for older gals. If you've watched my French Girl Style Principles video, there are so many principles in there that you can adopt at any age for any comfort level. I wish I could come shopping with all of you!
Ditch those ugly pants at the beginning of the video. Vests are plain, never wear them. It is Summer, girlie, put sone colours and no scarf. Looks like a bag lady.
Amazing complete weardrobe!!! Nothing on that selection I don't like. Hard to imagine all of that in one place. If I am really lucky I might walk out of a thrift store with 6 or so things.
I love your videos, your funny, I love your crooked smile, you inspire me to go more French and I love that a capsule wardrobe will fit in one suitcase and fly me back to Paris! Yay
I really don’t know where the word Shacket came from. But there’s already a word for that kind of shirt it’s called an overblouse. Not meant to be tucked in, worn over the waistband of a skirt or trousers. Overblouse.
Of course your petite frame and slender , free of varicose veins and cellulite -legs, allow for a great deal of creativity. You could put a bin bag on and it would look good 😂❤❤ i'm your same age but i'm a uk size 14 and bra size 95e😂. But i'm hooked somehow to yr Channel. So stylish!!!!!
my smile is weird & crooked. i can’t imagine changing it, though. how odd it would be to look i. the mirror & see a different face looking back !?!? eek😮
I really like her mouth as well. It keeps me focused on what she's saying, in a way, too :) She is just a very beautiful woman. The way her mouth moves when she talks is (I don't want to be in trouble to being weird or anything, so I hope I am not misunderstood) ..but it is sexy. Ok. There was a rap artist called "Fabulous" (90s), and he had a chipped front tooth. I thought it was very sexy. He later "fixed" it, and 'the magic' was gone; he became 'just another dude'. Hope this made sense. ❤Her, ❤the chanel, ❤ the comments. Mia
@@unblahyourself 😊You're in my area! Exciting!🎉 Thrift Stores can strike me as hopelessly depressing & overwhelming😔. The mish-mash of congested racks of used clothing all squeezed together. The added pressure of feeling you must find something in order to justify your trip😳. 🤔To me, your haul is proof that it just might be our attitude going in that can make a world of difference in our success. Also, having a clear idea of what it is we're actually seeking. ❤ Love your Looks 📷, attitude, confidence, & ⚜️style suggestions. Thx for sharing your fab fashion wisdom. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
You are so fun! Binge watched and can’t wait to get dressed for church this morning. Thought of way too many outfits to put together….which one shall I pick?! ❤
Thanks so much! I am actually very excited about how well these pieces mix and match. I've never really dressed in a "capsule wardrobe" kind of way but I see the benefits of it. It's really easy to get dressed well for many occasions.
This was fun!!! Any tips for finding good basic tank tops and body suits when thrifting? I find many dresses while the thrifting but usually can’t find tank tops.
Just keep checking. You can never guarantee what you'll find but sometimes tucked in between are silk camisoles, nude body suits that someone bought never wore and donated, nicely fitted black tanks. Just keep checking!
wow in ONE trip!! i live for trips like that. these separates you found (hardest to thrift imo) are stunning! love it all. go girl. #teamscarves ps - were you able to try on at this store? it's hit miss where i am regarding the fitting rooms!
It was an AMAZING trip! I don't think I've ever found so many staples in one place at one time. I couldn't try on in the store but I have ways of telling whether an item might fit and I'm usually right. I do miss the changing rooms!
I've wondered this myself, every thrift shop I been to don't have anything pretty, only dated, ugly torn clothing. The consignment shops are better but too upgraded for my caregiver lifestyle. Whew
Some beautiful outfits, but French girl style?! I’ve been to France many, many times, and the only people in France who dress like this are foreign tourists in Paris!
Ah! I really wish I could remember which video it was where I talked about slips. Pretty sure I filmed it this year in 2024. I have made over 100 videos now so I'm sorry but I can't even begin to guess!
When you say the jeans are "thick" I am not sure what you mean. It seems to me that these "thick" jeans are just normal denim, right? I mean, I know there's some super-thick denim out there--I'm imagining workwear like Carhartt or Dickies, but your jeans are not as thick as those. I have owned some pretty thin stuff in the past, but I feel like I am not seeing it these days...or maybe I just ignore it at the thrift store and pretend it doesn't exist. Like I know you are def NOT talking about those stretchy jeans that everyone hates now, and jeggings...well those were never actual jeans in the first place, if you ask me.
