Episode 1: Let Me Upgrade You!
In our first episode we find out how adding color, layers and accessories can really improve your look.
This was our first episode. What do you think?
We really wanted you to see that you don’t have to throw out your entire wardrobe and start from scratch to have a great look. You can stick with some of the basics that work well for you and just add a few inexpensive items to upgrade the look.
Connie was a great example (and fun to work with too). We took Connie’s look up a notch for only $75! And, don’t think of this as spending that money on one outfit, she’ll wear that jacket, purse and jewelry often with lots of other items in her closet. For example, the puffer jacket that was only $20.98 on sale (now it is on clearance for $14.99) could be paired with khakis or other cotton pants for a great work casual look.
She often carries bigger bags during the day but when she goes to a game she just sticks her things in her pockets. Now this cross-body bag ($24.99) is not only practical (it can hold all of her goodies) but it is also comfortable as well. She doesn’t have to worry about holding on to it the bag while at a game or even shopping (and it is much more fashionable than those fanny packs people are determined to continue carrying).
The other items are easy to see how to mix them into your wardrobe. The turtleneck can be worn under a sweater or blazer or even alone with a great necklace (it was only $14.99). And the jewelry we just kept simple because we didn’t want them to be pieces that only worked with one outfit; we truly wanted her to get her wear out of the dangling gold earrings ($5.99) and cuff bracelet ($7.99).
Connie actually wore this new outfit to a game the night we taped. She got tons of compliments. It just really proves that it doesn’t take a lot to upgrade your look.
Make sense?

Great episode. Connie’s upgraded outfit looked fabulous! Can’t wait for more ideas!
Great use of color! The orange turtle neck really made her outfit come alive!! You could do an episode on for upcoming brides! Like how to look great at your rehearsal dinner or a sensible (cents-ible)look for the day after the wedding (maybe heading to your honeymoon) without spending a bundle on your look! I mean, we brides have to save money somewhere!!!!
Love ya!
Great tips Kim! Will definitely put to use. Will continue to check in…
Kim, I like the brown gym shoes. $15 is a great deal!. S. Marbury might need to concentrate on street gym shoes vs the basketball sneaker.
Thanks for the tip
Loved the tips! This the type of podcast I would pass on! You had just the right combination of fashion sense and fashion cents!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! All of that at Target! She looks great. Wonderful advice. When is the next episode airing. I’ll tune in, after I go shopping at Target!
