Hi-Lo dressing is not a salad dressing for bi-polar people.
Hi-Lo dressing means mixing high-end designer pieces with lower budget or mass market pieces.
Think of it as Marc Jacobs meets markdowns from Target, by mixing the two you can produce
stunning style results and many compliments.
Now the only question is, how do we get our hands on some designer pieces to make this
makeover happen?
This video series is called, "Haute Wheel", and we'll explore how to pull off high-end
dressing, and how to get the lowdown on low prices.
Get haute style for hot prices so we can begin sprinkling in designer pieces into our wardrobe.
Step right up folks and spin the wheel!
Hi-Lo can you go, Hi-Lo can you go.
So as I said before, Hi-Lo dressing is mixing high-end pieces with lower-end pieces.
So you see here, we have a skirt that is priced at $420.
Many people would consider that to be more of a high-end purchase, however, we've mixed
it with "what?!" this t-shirt from Target priced at $14.99.
You can see it makes a very stylish outfit, you will get tons of compliments, but we are
mixing the high-end with the lower-end to pull off this look.
Now again, many of us, we can't justify spending $420 on a skirt so we need to find a way to
get that price point a lot lower so we can actually do Hi-Lo dressing.
So this is where Haute Wheel comes in, where will the wheel land today?
You can see we have many options for securing deals to help us start sprinkling in these
designer pieces.
So let's see where will the wheel land today?
EBay, yes eBay that is where we're going to start our journey today, eBay.
So let me give you an idea of some deals that I have found on eBay.
So I was completely obsessed with these Stuart Weitzman boots, these pair of wedge over the
knee boots, absolutely gorgeous.
I found them much cheaper on eBay.
Also, although this isn't considered high-end pieces, a high-end piece I did find these
Zara motorcycle pants and was completely obsessed and had to go find them somewhere.
And when in doubt, go to eBay, somebody somewhere in the world had these and I was able to find
them.
I think these are actually shipped from Greece but I did manage to track them down because
they are gorgeous.
Okay, so how to use eBay.
For those of you who haven't used it before, this is a brief tutorial and I'm going to
show you how to actually shop on here so you can get some of those deals on some of those
designer pieces.
So if you have already shopped on eBay, you can just you know fast-forward through the
video.
Or maybe you shopped on eBay but maybe not for clothing or for shoes or accessories,
so this is a tutorial for you as well.
So you just go to eBay, eBay.com okay, and you're going to just type in the search bar
what you're looking for.
So if you're looking for designer pieces, I'm going to say "Jimmy Choo shoes".
Then, search results come up, they' look very similar to the ones shown here on the screen.
And so what I want to show you is some ways you can start to filter these results because
you will see there are many, many things that come up.
I think the results here are shown 10,905 results, that's way too many to go through.
We only care about ones that are our shoe size, so you can filter by your shoe size.
You can also, if you're looking for something that you just want to buy it right now, you
don't want to have to go through the process of bidding on an auction, you can just do
the "Buy It Now" if that's all you're interested in.
And lastly, you can filter by what kind of shoes, so if we were looking for boots you
can see over there on the left side of the screen that we can just filter for boots too.
So it helps to make it a lot easier to shop online and find exactly what you're looking
for, because it can be so overwhelming when you go on eBay.
So let's say we filtered for just the things we cared about okay?
So here we go, we've got shoes.
You know, some of you might be going "that's gross; I don't want to buy used clothing or
used shoes or accessories on eBay".
Perfectly fine, look here, you can filter for condition of the products.
So if you want something new with the box, you can filter for that, that means nobody
else's feet has been walking around in them all day long and it's like brand new.
So you can filter for that as well, okay?
So let's say you found these and you're completely obsessed, and you're like "okay, these are
it".
You can do "Buy It Now", see that option we filtered for that so that way it's just
like shopping at a store.
So if you're a little overwhelmed with "I don't know how to bid and do all the auctions
and all of that", you can just do "Buy It Now" option and look for those here.
The next thing you want to look at is there's a lot of fraud that happens on eBay, and what
I mean by fraud is I mean people say pieces are designer and they're not really.
So one of the other things you can look at is you may want to take a look at who the
seller is.
You can always click on there, look at the seller, look at what their ratings are, look
at the feedback they've gotten back from different people, and it'll help you to suss out if
the products are legit or not.
Another way to suss out if this is really Jimmy Choo shoes is you can take a look at
the pictures, take a look at the box, take a look at all that.
However, there are people that will produce these and make them look just like Jimmy Choo
shoes, meaning the box, with the bag, with everything.
But again, you want to look at feedback that the seller has gotten, so you can just scroll
down the screen and look at the feedback.
So those are things that I would look at to kind of see is this legit or not or are you
getting "fake" designer.
Sometimes people are perfectly fine with "fake" designer stuff and that's personal preference,
no judgment from me on that.
But I just wanted to point out some different ways so you can avoid that.
So here we go, let's make a Hi-Lo outfit.
So let's say you have scored some awesome Jimmy Choo shoes online at eBay, okay there's
your designer piece that's the "Hi" in the Hi-Lo.
Now, how do you go Lo?
Okay let's see; look at this awesome black dress, H&M $19.99.
Look at that, okay, and this dress I love this dress because almost anybody can wear
it the way that its cut it's very chic and very forgiving of almost any body shape right?
$19.99 at H&M and then you have the designer shoe, and then just some simple accessories;
some gold earrings, a gold ring, and a little, simple gold clutch and you are ready to go.
There you go, a Hi-Lo outfit using the designer piece you've secured for a lot less than what
most people pay for them right?
So this video series is all about introducing you to Hi-Lo dressings, helping you to secure
these designer pieces and to give you practice so you're more comfortable in actually going
to shop for these designer pieces.
So I have for you guys a scavenger hunt that you can go on using the resources that'll
be in this video series.
So the first one here, we've already gone on eBay right?
So let's get some practice in.
So for number one, you have to go on eBay and find a pair of shoes from one of the designers
listed below for under $250.
This is just to get you used to navigating eBay, using the filters, and finding deals
okay?
So you go download this scavenger hunt and you go "okay, I found a pair of Jimmy Choo
shoes for $243 on Ebay.com.
You've secured the first item in the scavenger hunt and maybe you actually come across something
you want to buy and Bam! you have a piece in your wardrobe that you can use for Hi-Lo
dressing.
Remember to download the scavenger hunt, just use the link below the video to download this
