Hello, and welcome to the brand new Style Series, Elevate Your Style, where we will
show you 5 ways to take your everyday style to a new level. In case this is your first
time with us, my name is Aisha Jones, Owner, Creator, Part-Time Reality TV Show Watcher,
and Full-Time Fashionista, and I will be walking you through each one of these very short style
how-to videos. So let’s get started.
This particular style series is broken into 5 parts, and it was really inspired because
most people believe a makeover is just too much work, so I wanted to show really easy
swaps that you can make every single day to take your style to a whole new level. So we’re
going to start off with Level 1: Shoes. Going up.
Ah, here we are: shoes. This first video starts off with a very simple weekend outfit that
many of us can be found in: jeans, t-shirt, and a pair of flip flops. I live in San Diego,
so pretty much when you move to this city, they go, “Welcome to San Diego. Here’s
a pair of flip flops and a hoodie,” so I understand that flip flops are very comfortable.
However, they may not be the most stylish option. So I want to show you how you can
up-level your style just by changing out the shoes that you’re wearing with this particular
outfit.
Now, it would be very easy for me to just pair this with some heels and go, “Wow,
you’re more stylish.” However, that’s not really the situation here. Flip flops
are really comfortable, so I’m going to show you easy swaps you can make that are
just as comfortable as flip flops, and there’s no heels involved, I promise.
So you want to go up one level from standard flip flops. What’s the next level up? That
would be, of course, the fancy flip flop. You can see that this is a little bit more
stylish. There’s a pop of color, there are some metallic designs, just a little sunburst
design. It’s just a lot fancier than your standard flip flop, and if you’re running
around town, you’ll look a little bit more put together with that option.
So what is the next level up from the fancy flip flop? It is this unique hybrid: part
athletic shoe, part ballet flat. These are some very cool Adidas, and you can see they
look a little bit like a sneaker, but in reality, they are ballet flats. It’s a very athletic
style to wear, and you can see slipping those on is not any more difficult than putting
on a pair of flip flops, and again, you look more stylish.
So what’s the next level up from the athletic ballet flat? It would be an actual ballet
flat. You can see these particular ones are a little bit more stylish because they have
this very interesting studded detail on there, and the bows are actually on the back of the
shoes, and they’re just in a very pretty nude blush kind of color to make them a little
bit more interesting. These are super easy, comfortable, flats you can run around town,
do your errands in, and you look more stylish and put together.
So again, what’s the next level up from this? Okay, a boot. It’s a little bit more
difficult to put on, I will admit that, than a ballet flat or flip flop, because there
is a zipper involved. I mean, that can take almost 10 seconds, and you don’t have that
kind of time. But the boot does make you look more stylish. You can just take and tuck your
jeans into these boots, and you are off and running. I promised you flat shoes; these
are flat boots, very comfortable, very stylish and put together, and they’re in this great
gray color, too, that I really like, that goes very well with the palette that we have
here.
So you can see I gave you many options of how you can just swap out your shoes and instantly
look more stylish. This is very simple, easy, and fun to do, because who doesn’t like
to shop for shoes?
Well, that’s it for today. Make sure to catch the next video, where we will go all
the way up to Level 2: Jackets and Outerwear. In closing, I just want to say, don’t hate
– elevate, and start your style revolution. Goodbye.
