113 MUST-KNOW✨ Fashion Hacks so you ALWAYS look good in under ONE MINUTE! 🔥

There's just something about really good, helpful, practical styling tips and hacks that I love. They help us get dressed faster and easier and overall just feel more pulled together when it's all said and done. With the arrival of spring, it means some really fun changes in our wardrobe. And so what I want to share with you today are some great and simple and easy tips and hacks for styling trench coats, rolling up your sleeves, tucking in your shirts, amongst many others. So grab your coffee, grab your tea, maybe a notebook and a pen, or you can always just save this video and come back and re-watch. I'll try to time stamp everything. So if there's a tip you want to try later, you can come back and find it again. Scarves are one of my all-time favorite accessories. And so I wanted to show you a relatively quick and easy way to tie them that's a little bit different, that kind of gives you that slightly Western look. I'm trying to go a little slow here so you can see that you just kind of twist it. You turn the two tails upside down through the neck of it and then flip them through and pull. And then you basically have this kind of double knot tie that looks really cool, stays in place, won't slide around and gives you that fun kind of Western feel that's very on trend. I absolutely love this next fashion fix for so many reasons because it can be used for so many different things. If you've got a sweater like this, that's like a little low cut, a little more cleavage than we want, this little handy tool right here, this little stitcher tool, basically inserts these little plastic, they're almost like little tags like you would see on clothing, and holds it in place. They can easily be removed, they don't damage your clothing, you can hem things, like make things fit, adjust, tighten. It's just such a practical and easy tool to have for so many fashion fixes. Now spring is the season of the trench. I love wearing a trench coat in spring and I also like the look of a more, you know, a little more sophisticated tying method. I tried to slow this down so you could see. I'm going to show you two different ways to tie the belt on your trench coat so that it looks, this first one kind of looks almost a little bit more like a bow, like not really, it doesn't have like the loops, but it has a less, it has a better look than just like a ratty old knot, you know. It has more of a bow feel and this also looks really great on like wool coats where you have a thicker belt that will have more of a finished look to it, with these looser belts it's a little different, but both of these ties that I'm showing you are easy to do. They're similar to like a men's necktie tie in a way, but they give it just more of a finished, refined feel when you are tying up your trench coat instead of just like a quick knot and they stay together better, you know. You just tie one little knot and every time you sit down, stand up, it kind of can come loose and look messy. This doesn't, this stays in place, it keeps your knot in place while looking nice and not just, you know, all over the place and squirrely. So a little more refined and finished look for your spring trench coat. There's absolutely no accessory that you can add or, you know, cool statement piece or trendy piece that you can wear that's going to make you look any better than you will if you're taking really good care of your health and taking care of yourself, which matters so much, especially for women who tend to put ourselves last. Which brings me to today's video sponsor, a company that I very much love and personally use, and that is MidiHealth. Especially as perimenopause symptoms are hitting me like a Mack truck, I can tell you firsthand that a lot of times we go visit doctors, we tell them about our symptoms, our problems, and we can feel a little bit ignored, brushed off, but that is not at all going to be your experience with MidiHealth. It's never been mine. In fact, it's part of the reason that they exist to begin with is to make it so that women do not have to have that kind of experience when they are seeking health care, help with weight loss, help with perimenopause, menopause, skin issues, hair issues, libido issues. They truly have solutions and help for so many different issues. And if you've never heard me share with you about MidiHealth before, they are a virtual care clinic, and basically their entire mission is to provide compassionate, high quality medical care to women that is actually covered by your insurance. My favorite part, and it's going to be yours too, is that you get to have virtual visits. They are no rush. You can be in your PJs, sitting on your sofa, in your car, if you're busy and going places in between things. It makes it very simple. And yes, they are covered by all major insurance companies in all 50 states. And as someone who's used them multiple times, I can tell you that it is such a simple process. You book your visit, you meet with your clinician, you discuss your issues. It's truly like a no rush environment. They listen, they care, and they help you come up with a plan for how to move forward. What do we need to do next? And if it's determined that you need follow-ups or you need to go get some lab tests done, they help you arrange all of that. If you are looking for personalized and compassionate healthcare that is covered by your insurance, then be sure to check out MidiHealth. The link will be down below in the description box. I highly recommend that you check them out. All right. Next, I want to share with you some different ways that you can tuck in your button down shirts. A classic white button down is just, it never goes out of style. It truly is like a classic wardrobe staple. And this sort of X tuck is what I call this. This tuck is one of my favorites to do. It's so easy. It's simple. You don't have to like fuss and mess with it a lot. You just kind of do that sort of cross tuck that you just saw me do. Then you can tuck in the back portion and it looks nice and pulled together. Now, of course you can absolutely add a belt. You can pop the collar. There's all kinds of little, you know, sort of flourishes and how you choose to roll your sleeves and stuff can change the vibe and the look of everything. But this tuck works so well with so many different types of pants as well. You can do this tuck with pants other than jeans. I just did this tuck yesterday with some like knit pants and a button down. So it's very easy to do. It's very stylish and kind of gives you a different look than just bunching up and tucking in your shirt all in the front. Now for this rolling of the sleeves, I refer to this as like the J crew roll. And it's very simple to do. I know I've shown this in videos before. It's just, it's so easy. You literally just unbutton and roll up the sleeves once, like just straight up. And then you take the bottom piece and roll it one more time. And it kind of holds that open cuff in place. I hope I'm explaining that well. Probably not. But hopefully you're a visual learner and you can see visually. This other tuck with the shirt is similar to the X tuck, except we're going through the belt loops first and then kind of just flipping those tails in and tucking them into the side of your jeans. This is just another way, sometimes with these button down shirts, we have a ton of extra fabric. It all depends on the material, the length for like the longer ones. This is an oxford white shirt. So it's a heavier weight material. But if you've got one that's like a satin or a sateen or something that's thinner, looser, it's nice to have like that belt loop there to kind of hold the tuck in place for you. This one is also more of an oxford style, but this one is much more oversized. So this is a great one to show you this like sort of double twist. It's very similar to the scarf tie that we did, like this double twist and then tuck. Now I showed it to you this first time with the shirt buttoned. And again, same thing. You just kind of roll it up in the back to hide that tail in the back. But I showed you first with the shirt buttoned. But there's also another really cute way to do this tuck where you start with the shirt totally unbuttoned and then cross it. And it makes it like a slightly tighter cross, if you can see that, because now you've got nothing in the middle that's coming out. There's no buttons or anything like that. You have to, you know, feel secure with the top to do this one, but it's another favorite of mine. This next one really works best with silky satin material shirts, shirts with very long tails, because you kind of need that movement in the fabric you see as you kind of gather the front pieces and sort of bring them around and tuck them in. This is all to avoid bulk in the belly by just straight up tucking your shirts in. You kind of wrap them around, then you take the back and you kind of just twist it a little bit, tuck that tail in and then let it just kind of hang. And you can see with these softer silkier satin material shirts, it really works to create a nice like kind of hanging fabric that you don't have to fuss a whole lot with and doesn't add a bunch of extra bulk. All right, this one's for my fellow 80s kids. All right, you used to tie up your shirts. Well, this is a modern take on that and one that stays in place more and looks a little more sophisticated, but you do have to kind of just watch this a couple of times to get it because you basically put one tail through the button area, that bottom button area, and then loop it back through the open side of that hole. Like you just kind of have to watch it and try it, but it creates a flatter and a little more sophisticated looking tie. Now, speaking of ties, y'all, I love, you know, Converse and other sneakers and stuff, but this is so great for both us as adults, but even kids too, you know, if you've got kids that would like these or even like maybe older parents and stuff, you know, maybe not as good with the fine motor skills anymore. These are awesome. So you basically just remove your previous shoelaces and then relace them with these and then they come with these little metal clasps that you basically just put through the lace, tie it off into a knot, cut off the excess, and do that on both sides and then they just twist together. It's so easy and allows you to have like no tie shoes. Now, you do have to kind of, it's great because you can't really work with the size for how much extra space you want. You got to make sure, like, try on the shoes, make sure your foot fits in them, not too loose though, but you can see that now you just have this sort of finished tie here that you can unscrew that and adjust the laces if you need to, or you can just basically turn any pair of shoes almost like into slip-on shoes. These are so awesome and they come in a pack of two, so you can do two pairs of shoes. Now, we've spoken many times about comfort in shoes and my struggle with like high arches and stuff, but these are awesome. These little footbed pads that are specifically made for like thong type sandals, so the sandals that go between your toes. You do have to kind of adjust them a little bit and it's great because you can see the green is really where all the padding is, so you've got some space there to cut around the edges to make it fit and line up perfectly, but it takes some otherwise like more hard sandals that maybe aren't as comfortable, don't have a squishy of a footbed in them, and make them so much more comfortable for summer and spring. And then, of course, you can always go with just these little Dr. Scholls, like these are arch inserts. So again, any shoe that maybe is otherwise flat and you need a little bit of something, these are like super squishy, like a silicone material, so you can just turn any pair of shoes into like an arch support. I've told you guys about my Archies, the flip flops that I love that have that built-in arch support, and this kind of allows you to make any shoe into an Archies, and I love that because there's a lot of shoes that I like the styles of, but I have really high arches and so it can be difficult for me to wear them for long periods of time, and so I love that I can turn any pair of shoe into an arch support shoe. And remember, with all of these tips and things that I'm sharing, I feel like what really makes the biggest difference, like true style, having a really solid sense of your own style, is about intentionality. It's about getting dressed with intention. It's about making choices in the things that you wear, how you style them, the accessories that you add with intention. When I was learning photography and taking courses and things, you get told all these rules, but then you see the exceptional photographers breaking those rules, and it very clearly shows you that much like anything, the rules are best broken by those who know them. So if we understand some of the kind of framework and the rules of style, it gives lots of space for us to break those rules, but breaking them intentionally, knowingly, purposefully, and in a way that really does say like, no, this is my style, this is what I'm doing, this is how I'm styling this, and not just haphazardly, accidentally, oopsie. That's when it just looks kind of messy and not right versus style. I truly hope that you found these fashion fixes and style tips helpful and useful.
