Dear Anna and elegant ladies: I followed her wardrobe summer staples last year and felt like a billion. Needless to say I had a fabulous summer thanks to the law of attraction and Anna’s list of summer staples. This year I am doing the same because this lady knows what she’s talking about! Bisous Anna!
I need to manifest my summer, because I've been riding the wave of quarantine and don't want to feel like a deer caught in the headlights after it's over
Thank you for letting us know of your great experiences. It is very nice to know these things are being implemented and, even more importantly, WORKING, for someone! I'm only getting started with buying some new clothing and have been looking for things Anna would suggest. It is so inpsiring to to read of your experiences and that you are noticing positive differences.
I've finally found a woman who thinks like me, i told all of these to my sister always, I always like to be elegant even at home, when it's summer i like a dress at home rather than a t-shirt and panties everyone tells me that it's pointless or who do i dress up for...and I say an elegant lady is always elegant
Oh my god! I hate that panties and t-shirt trend. People need to learn to be decent! If it's not a swim wear it's underwear, outerwear can be cool to and nakedness is not proper
I always tell people that I bought everything I wear with MY money because I like to wear it. I have to look at myself everyday, so why would I only try to look decent when other people see me?
The last thing an "Elegant Woman" needs is a "Bikini Top Malfunction" when coming out of the water!! Ever see any "Silly Girl" jump off a boat with a Bikini Top on, coming up squealing & trying to cover herself while her top is floating around her neck? She looked even "Sillier" (if that's possible)! 🙄🙄 Was the reaction of the men! They just look at one another & roll their eyes & their Wives & Girlfriends whisper behind their hands to each other, "Attention Seeker"!! Of course the Girl who's dressed inappropriately, is now below deck not only trying to find a shirt to wear, she's also packing her bags bc she'll be put off at the next landing!
I really appreciate this channel its like a safe haven for the people transitioning into high society. You can come here and bond with people who are leveling up and not be judged or embarrassed. Anna keeps it real and is very supportive. Thank You!
Me too, I am annonymous here just because I feel like I have to be the less recognisable possible (hence my name, it is bad but whatever, I couldn't think of anything and it doesn't really matter) and I am liberal in many ways but I personally like this lifestyle, which is seen as a bad thing in groups with my kinds of thoughts -_- so I have both parts, a comment section in which I can show a more feminine side of myself and practice my femininity in yt and people who share my ideals in real life I think I'm going to stick with a feminine lifestyle whenever I have the oportunity to get away from here, I don't really value the friends that I have to the point that I have to give myself away
I agree. And imagine having society come to such a level that to level up makes one feel uncomfortable or embarrassed rather than feeling good about themselves around those they are familiar with. It's sad what society has come to.
Please please please! Don't ever stop making videos and educate us. You have no idea how important your videos are for our generation... I'm in my early 30's and I was so influenced by modern femenism and fast fashion that I lost my feminin side and had so much masculin energy that drained me so much and made me lose myself. Didn't know how important is to be a feminin and elegant lady until I started watching your videos. You gave me a whole new perspective. Love you Anna!!!
Since I’m 67 , married 43 years and were both retired, some of your content doesn’t relate to me but I love it when you talk about this kind of thing as on this video and anything to do with elegance. I do and always have since I was a little girl adored elegance ❤️🌹
I am so happy for algorithms that brought me here. I am 36. I need to grow up. I still dress like 12 year old tomboy. I eat like slob. I am out of shape. Good news is my spirit is you alive and vibrant and ready for summer love! Thank you.
I agree. I LOVE this room. I want my house to look like this. It's so lovely. Just being in a place that looks like this will make you feel rich and law of attraction responds to how we FEEL. So we should definitely do our best to upgrade as much as we can, a bit at time, within what we realistically can do without causing stress by over extending ourselves financially. Being stressed over putting too much on credit for example will not be in our favor with LOA either, so we have to find the right balance so we stay feeling positive and uplifted inside ourselves.
"My teachings really never expire because I don't talk about trends." That says it all 🙂 That's why we're all here. Love to you, dearest Anna! Leveling up our quality, and our quality of life, inside and out! 🧡🧡🧡
I love wearing white, pure cotton eyelet dresses with turquoise jewelry during the day, especially cuff bracelets or necklaces or belt buckles which I only get from the Navajo or Hopi reservations in Arizona so the money goes directly to Native American artisans. I always , without fail get compliments on that combination. Other summer musts: 1) Wedge sandals or mule slipper sandals during the day. 2)Gold or silver metallic sandals, depending on your skin tone, they literally go with everything. 3) A striped maxi-dress or shirtdress. Either black and white or Navy blue and white 4) One simple bright solid color summer dress which compliments your skin tone perfectly like in a jewel tone like yellow, red, marigold, emerald green, bougainvillea pink.
Anna, I love your perspectives and insights. Your advice has helped me (a 64 year old, married woman) elevate my look. For that, I am appreciative. Keep doing what you do! Love & Hugs!
Hemp and linen translate to same thing in many languages 🤨🧐 I am even sure Anna refers to what is ‘linne’ in Swedish but is actually made from hemp (the crinkle factor is good indication).
@@nathalecoo hemp is made from hemp plant, linen is made from linseed/flaxseed, not sure how those plants translate though! But definitely different plants :)
I think it is so nice that you put some fashion pictures from women with a different colour. I didn’t see this by anybody else. The beautiful dark skin ladies and the Japanese lady. Bravo Anna 🙏🏻👏🏻
I noticed that as well, I came to the comments to see if other people in her audience notice. Thank goodness, its actually refreshing. Now I would say she's being open-minded and elegance applicable to different race and culture. Bravo Anna indeed.
@Victoria Talavera Yes I've followed her for a long time and she was doing this since the beginning and I LOVE it. She's not following a "social justice fad"... she's genuine.
Lisa Kuok always moisturize your body all year round, especially straight from the shower. Exfoliate you’re body at least one time a week. Drink your water!
I've switched to cleansing with an olive oil soap (made entirely of olive oil, not just an extract). Does not smell like anything, I use the fragrance free one, different brands available. It really balances 5he skin, good for almost any skin from dry to oily.
Dear Anna ( my dear elegant lady), Thank you for teaching that elegance is key in all aspects of personal care and lifestyle. I think when elegance is maintained in all areas improved self confidence and self love follows in abundance. I am going from broke, busted and disgusted to a beautiful, financially stable and genuine woman and I have you to thank as one of my key teachers on this journey. Thank you Anna, may the happiness you inspire multiply and return to you abundantly.
When i watch ur video, I wanna level- up every second of my life. Jst love ur content. Keep doin what u doing, got alot to learn from you. ♥ thank you for ur content.
Hello Anna! I dont know you read this or not, but if you did, Could you please do a video about how to decorate house to become more luxurious? I am about to move and need a clear mind of what i am gonna do to decor my *future* home, I was wondering your background and i thought why not make a video of it? House decor! Thats it. Love xoxo
Deff will save this channel for when I reach this point in my life. I’m very young so this isn’t my current style but I can see it become this in years to come.
Anna, I would love it if you could make a video about texting etiquette, mainly with friends and family, and including examples. What’s the balance between details and conciseness? And what about emojis? How about keeping things interesting and keeping up a conversation when things get a bit dull? What about politely closing out a text? Etc. Love your videos and looking forward to them each time!
Just bought my first pairs of white pants: shorts and medium lenght. Since I’ve started to listen to your videos my shopping has become more targeted. I used to like neutral and earthy colors and now having your confirmation that these colors are the most elegant and safest I feel so much confident about my taste.
I agree with your suggestions, especially with the white blazer! They always look smart. I'm from the Caribbean, and even on a sweltering tropical night, a white or sand-colored blazer comes in handy, especially when going into an air-conditioned restaurant or having cocktails at a windy rooftop terrace. Also, I 100% concur that if one is going to wear white shorts, they should be of the best quality possible: well-tailored, not too short or tight, not thin or transparent...My summer staples are: light colored sundresses, linen button-up shirts, big sunhats, beautiful sunglasses, a pair of nude strappy sandals with a low heel, a gauzy beach cover up, a pair of sand colored linen drawstring trousers, chambray colored tailored shorts, lace-up wedge espadrilles, flowy maxi dresses, a large silk scarf to wrap my hair in...
I actually recently went through a complete style shift. With my fashion, I used to dress very much more masculine and sometimes even a bit aggressive. I also felt too old for my age, I'm only 16 and felt at least 25. Lots of unique jeans, t-shirts🤢,and things like that . I come from a rather sophisticated family so, I don't know who let me dress like that for so long😂 Everyone thought my style was so 'cool'. But just a few days before the start of quarantine,I completely redid my wardrobe. I love dressing feminine..so tons of new dresses, feminine tops and trousers,and definitely less sneakers. I bought new leather-type sneakers and more elegant pieces. Short heels since I am tall enough, and I feel like a new person. I'm excited to go out and that never happened before. I just feel like tapping into our feminine energy is so good for us. I feel confident, beautiful and delicate. Although,I wish to lose some weight which I am trying to do. Anyways,all the ladies that watch Anna's videos or have read this far..I wish you good luck on this journey of self improvement and self acceptance and I hope you all succeed ❤️✨ Lots of love, Khwahish.
@@wildtheim thank you Theim❤️ I'm excited for u ✨ btw my name means desire/wish..what does yours mean? Theim is certainly a gorgeous name, I've never heard it.
It must be very nice to simply go and buy " tons" of new wardrobe items, at 16! I do hope you are at least working to contribute to some of the dollars spent on your whole new self.
@@bethe192 well where I live it's not considered appropriate for a teen to work . But I assure you I make up one way or another,and as much as I wish to work,I'm simply not allowed to. Also Beth, I take precautions as to what I buy and how much it is worth . I make up for what I spend by taking care of my grades and helping out with chores or volunteering for charities,etc. I know you meant it harshly, but that is my answer. I hope you find peace❤️ Good luck on your journey!
Anna, I am 25 and I absolutely love all of your advice. Trying to be fashionable yet dress more mature is quiet hard especially being a new parent. You bring up so many amazing points that I would’ve never thought of myself. Can’t wait to use these pointers when I go on my honeymoon in July 💗
I love that Anna actually considered the entire world with the first tip, and mentioned that in some countries it might be too hot! :) RUclipsrs who talk of fashion are usually American centric or Euro-centric when it comes to their approach, and I love that Anna is considering everyone!
Finally,I am going on date with someone whom I really want to see my future with. He is so like me And he adores me for my Elegance mostly which Anna has helped me with. I am just bit hessitant what I should actually wear on that day since we haven't meet in person till now.
@@That-Wanderer my kids ask me why women wear their underwear at the beach. I say, it does look like underwear. That's what they like, I say. Silently, I agree with my children that it is odd to wear what looks like underwear.
I agree with you, but on the other side... after swimming you are sitting in completely wet bathing suit and you will not get tanned majority of your bodyl
Beach bag as yours I had probably 30 years ago from Africa and I still have it and it's still in great condition, and it's very comfortable and timeless!
You looks so beautiful in thid video!. Its not like previous videos werent, just your charisma and aura seems really srong in this video.. Cant take my eyes off at you😍
Had a vintage Giorgio Armani cashmere blazer tailored last fall and have worn it proudly and elegantly ever since. Love it, and I love the tip. Thanks, Anna!
Another thing I realized is that you can use a scarf (must be larger) as a cover up!! There are so many prints to choose from and they don’t have to break the bank!
I looked so boujee in this one horse city after following your advice last year 😅 I feel like I might have definitely influenced some people into stepping up their look. My husband was constantly noting on the looks I would get everywhere we went. When I went to a bigger city I still stood out and I heard a comment about how stylish my blazer was. Thank you so much Anna! I’ve been fashion clueless my whole life until I found your channel 💖
I just ordered my first Zimmerman dress yesterday as well! It was on clearance, I can't wait until it arrives. Ladies, check for sales if you're just starting out on your journey. I got mine at Bergdorf Goodman ❤
Thank you, Anna. I'm only a 15yrs old girl learning about being elegant and proper clothing. I live in the Philippines so this is a big help! I love you so much. ❤
I live in long flowy light colored dresses in the summer. They're so much more comfortable, appropriate for almost everything, and you can hide some imperfections in them. Unless of course I'm doing something active. But I enjoy the feeling of my legs being protected without sweating.
White dressy shorts are the best! And they are the perfect investment. I had mine for years and they dress up even a basic tank top and basic tshirt with the right accesories. Definitely a most have. I alway bring them out in summer and they are truly ageless. I had mine for 5+ years!
Zara, nordstrom rack, ann taylor loft, whitehouse blackmarket, macys are all good (4th of july sales coming up!). For any online store you find youre not familiar with, just search online for reviews of it and see if theyre based out of china - so many pop up stores that look great are just fronts for bad clothes and bad customer service. But if you do want something like that, just search amazon - at least you have amazon handling your money and returns. Also try second hand places like therealreal, tradesy, ebay, and poshmark😘😘
Zara has plenty - I uploaded a haul that has a white extremely classy blazer and beautiful pair of white shorts x I wore them and got so, so many compliments xx
Poshmark is a good online place to shop, however you might have to dig a little bit to find what you are looking for, especially if you are looking for good quality items.
Little tip here from a (not anymore) desperate mom : "percarbonate de potassium" is a PERFECT bleach for white clothes... ;) Sorry I don't know how to translate it from french. But here with my three kiddos, I got so relieved when I discovered it ! It takes off every stain my little monsters manage to get on their clothes. And I can wear white again. ;)
@@Artbug Absolutely! Wearing off-whites that suit your skin tone is better than wearing a white that does not; it's more elegant when you wear something that suits you.
Thanks Anna, you inspire me to dress more elegantly. I’ve been doing a wardrobe overhaul during lockdown and among my online stash are white shorts, white mini skirt, white midi skirt and a white button down shirt
The Gap has a beautiful oversized linen shirt in several colors. I bought two and I love them. Having shorts in cream and white shorts are basics and wear wonderfully over the summer.
Great video Anna. The tips on heels & swimsuits were excellent. Had to chat w/ a friend about swimsuits. She's genuinely sweet, graceful & classy. She was at a point of dreading family gatherings. She didn't understand the nice/nasty vibes in the air, but I did. It's exactly what you said: father in law & others gazing; of course the ladies weren't happy about it. She's a naturally voluptuous hourglass & she's tall. Even a conservative styled bikini looks very sensual on her. I suggested 1 pieces to see if it helped. After a couple of times she could tell the difference. I personally feel the insecurities of others is not YOUR problem. But the sad truth is we may have to adjust things from time to time. Keep the videos coming Anna!
It's Saturday and I'm have an Anna binge... I'm trying to shoot a RUclips video and I need to watch her enough times to be inspired to speak as elegantly. I speak really fast....
love you, Anna!! Such an inspiration! Quarantine, is not over in the states. I Adore the beautiful you, and your knowledge given to us! You smile with such ingenuity. If I had a daughter, I would want her to have the self respect, intelligent and loving attitude towards mankind as you do! Obviously, you are a business woman! May you prosper vigorously! WE need more women like you! PARIS!
Hi Anna. I fell like there is an encouragement in your videos for one to bring their best self forward on a daily basis. I think most of us feel inspired by it and we appreciate it. Thank you :)
You know Anna, watching your videos has inspired within me a metaphor in which the elegant lady is like a flower and her classy gentleman is like a stem. In terms of fashion, the stems all look alike, and have less freedom to exhibit flamboyance (think a ball and tuxes) whereas the flowers are all beautiful in their own right (think ball gowns). And in terms of lifestyle, the stem is supportive, strong, healthy and materially provides for its family; it appears to exist in close relation to society at large, concerned with its own situation in life, matters of class and consequence., whereas the flower is more elegant, lives by design (a unique petal arrangement), takes greater care of the nuclear family housed within its petals, and in general, beautifies the world by virtue of its mere existence. And on the point of it being situated further away from the rest of society, and thus principally concerned with its own nuclear family; I have often observed that if you're the kind of gentleman who lets others (incl. family members) take advantage of you, it's more likely that a flower will step in to set things right, and claim what rightfully belongs to your family. *I think all gentlemen need a little elegance and flair (esp. in their college to early-career years when single), and all ladies need a good dose of self-reliance, independence and financial freedom (for the same reason, and the peace of mind it would afford them to pick an agreeable suitor without the pressure of circumstance).* This is how I currently think of the classy gentleman & the elegant lady roles. Just wish the gentleman role can focus more on our self-transformation too, rather than the interpretation of only living in servitude to a lady.
I agree 7 cm is the perfect daytime heel height, not being able to walk is never elegant. So many women, in my opinion, spoil their look by wearing super-high heels, which are often associated, around here, with the wrong sort of woman. I just wish more manufacturers made heels around 7 cm, shoes seem to be mostly either flat or high-heel, the choices for mid-heels are so limited. Thanks for another great video.
I'm so glad you're back to your previous form! I get so much more from your videos than I do from an I.G. post or the one page note posted on RUclips! Thanks for all your hard work at keeping your Videos Elegant, yet Informative & Professional!
To hear you talk about the linen shirt gave me hope that I’m headed in the right direction. I’ve been wearing a linen shirt over my swimsuit for years! I must be more elegant than I thought. Thank you for the confidence boost! 💙
I would love to go shopping with Anna. Toss out the cheap items and fabric in my wardrobe and personally teach me her elegant, feminine ways. Would you provide links for shopping?
Love love love this! Ive been putting together a capsule wardrobe for work (i work in a very casule setting, but i want to dress nicely to respect myself and the clients i meet) and i love the idea of having staples in your closet... instead of a closet bursting full of choices you never grab for
Thank you for the comments. In some countries you can find many local designers that make the most beautiful pieces in linen and wyck. And the beauty of it is that they might be even more exclusive because they are unique pieces, sometimes ethical, and support local economies
I am from Florida, and I agree with your advice for wearing a one piece. It's much more respectful to cover up sometimes. Especially to set an example. With a professional career to be recognized in public is a common occurrence. I try to be prepared to answer questions and look presentable in all aspects of life. So your videos are very helpful!

Every time when I’m shopping for clothes, I’m always wondering..would Anna Like this? 😂😂✨👌👌
"Would Anna approve that?" Yeah, SAME
Same here 😂😂
SAME!!! Omgg
Sameee 💞
I started watching her maybe like a week ago, and I'm already: that's not elegant 😂

I do the same. It’s my house dress!👗
Yes I love wearing cotton dresses at home
Oh my god! I hate that panties and t-shirt trend. People need to learn to be decent! If it's not a swim wear it's underwear, outerwear can be cool to and nakedness is not proper
Who cares get a life
I always tell people that I bought everything I wear with MY money because I like to wear it. I have to look at myself everyday, so why would I only try to look decent when other people see me?
I think Nude color footwear is best option and they also look classy and elegant in minimum budget and they goes with every type of dress...
I like nude and silver because a lighter silver tone seems to go with everything and adds some glamour.
Absolutely!
I like to wear a dark burgundy heel/footwear. As a dark skinned girl, nude colours drown me out. But dark burgundy is perfect

A good alternative to wrinkly linen material is hemp. Clothes made out of hemp look very elegant and sophisticated.

Loving the aesthetics of this video, it's so peaceful and elegant!
Anna, I would love it if you could make a video about texting etiquette, mainly with friends and family, and including examples. What’s the balance between details and conciseness? And what about emojis? How about keeping things interesting and keeping up a conversation when things get a bit dull? What about politely closing out a text? Etc. Love your videos and looking forward to them each time!
~My Dear Elegant Ladies~
Just bought my first pairs of white pants: shorts and medium lenght. Since I’ve started to listen to your videos my shopping has become more targeted. I used to like neutral and earthy colors and now having your confirmation that these colors are the most elegant and safest I feel so much confident about my taste.
I agree with your suggestions, especially with the white blazer! They always look smart. I'm from the Caribbean, and even on a sweltering tropical night, a white or sand-colored blazer comes in handy, especially when going into an air-conditioned restaurant or having cocktails at a windy rooftop terrace. Also, I 100% concur that if one is going to wear white shorts, they should be of the best quality possible: well-tailored, not too short or tight, not thin or transparent...My summer staples are: light colored sundresses, linen button-up shirts, big sunhats, beautiful sunglasses, a pair of nude strappy sandals with a low heel, a gauzy beach cover up, a pair of sand colored linen drawstring trousers, chambray colored tailored shorts, lace-up wedge espadrilles, flowy maxi dresses, a large silk scarf to wrap my hair in...
I actually recently went through a complete style shift. With my fashion, I used to dress very much more masculine and sometimes even a bit aggressive. I also felt too old for my age, I'm only 16 and felt at least 25. Lots of unique jeans, t-shirts🤢,and things like that . I come from a rather sophisticated family so, I don't know who let me dress like that for so long😂
Everyone thought my style was so 'cool'.
But just a few days before the start of quarantine,I completely redid my wardrobe. I love dressing feminine..so tons of new dresses, feminine tops and trousers,and definitely less sneakers.
I bought new leather-type sneakers and more elegant pieces. Short heels since I am tall enough, and I feel like a new person.
I'm excited to go out and that never happened before. I just feel like tapping into our feminine energy is so good for us. I feel confident, beautiful and delicate.
Although,I wish to lose some weight which I am trying to do.
Anyways,all the ladies that watch Anna's videos or have read this far..I wish you good luck on this journey of self improvement and self acceptance and I hope you all succeed ❤️✨
Lots of love,
Khwahish.
I'm turning 16 this August and I too am going through a style shift. I really like your name Khwahish!
@@wildtheim thank you Theim❤️ I'm excited for u ✨ btw my name means desire/wish..what does yours mean? Theim is certainly a gorgeous name, I've never heard it.
It must be very nice to simply go and buy " tons" of new wardrobe items, at 16! I do hope you are at least working to contribute to some of the dollars spent on your whole new self.
Beth E: Wow, Debbie Downer. Judge much? You don’t know her circumstances and your snippy retort is unkind.
@@bethe192 well where I live it's not considered appropriate for a teen to work . But I assure you I make up one way or another,and as much as I wish to work,I'm simply not allowed to.
Also Beth, I take precautions as to what I buy and how much it is worth . I make up for what I spend by taking care of my grades and helping out with chores or volunteering for charities,etc.
I know you meant it harshly, but that is my answer. I hope you find peace❤️
Good luck on your journey!
Anna, I am 25 and I absolutely love all of your advice. Trying to be fashionable yet dress more mature is quiet hard especially being a new parent. You bring up so many amazing points that I would’ve never thought of myself. Can’t wait to use these pointers when I go on my honeymoon in July 💗
I love that Anna actually considered the entire world with the first tip, and mentioned that in some countries it might be too hot! :) RUclipsrs who talk of fashion are usually American centric or Euro-centric when it comes to their approach, and I love that Anna is considering everyone!
Finally,I am going on date with someone whom I really want to see my future with.
He is so like me
And he adores me for my Elegance mostly which Anna has helped me with.
I am just bit hessitant what I should actually wear on that day since we haven't meet in person till now.
I have personally always prefered bathing suits over bikinis!
Yes! I love the one-piece suits. I feel like I'm revealing too much in a bikini, it isnt much different from wearing nothing but your panties and bra
@@That-Wanderer my kids ask me why women wear their underwear at the beach. I say, it does look like underwear. That's what they like, I say. Silently, I agree with my children that it is odd to wear what looks like underwear.
Saaaaaame... It just feels so much more elegant and sophisticated. and I shouldnt need to show you *everything* to get your attention😘
I agree with you, but on the other side... after swimming you are sitting in completely wet bathing suit and you will not get tanned majority of your bodyl
@@ParisAntarktis I tan naked at home, I live in the country, theres nobody around to see anything, lol
I live in my linen dresses for the summer. I will re-wear since I have brought three of the same dress because it is so comfortable
I’m watching this channel because I want to become more elegant for my own self-respect. I love hearing you talk it’s addicting
Beach bag as yours I had probably 30 years ago from Africa and I still have it and it's still in great condition, and it's very comfortable and timeless!
I love how she shares these elegant pieces but makes them functional and affordable.
I love linen. Love that she said it's ok to wear linen even though it wrinkles. In fact that's the 'charm'. Love it!
You looks so beautiful in thid video!. Its not like previous videos werent, just your charisma and aura seems really srong in this video.. Cant take my eyes off at you😍
I agree with you white dresses are really pretty for the summer and the beach bag.
Had a vintage Giorgio Armani cashmere blazer tailored last fall and have worn it proudly and elegantly ever since. Love it, and I love the tip. Thanks, Anna!
Ok. Anna just gave me work to do. Off to buy the above mentioned items. Happy shopping ladies.
Another thing I realized is that you can use a scarf (must be larger) as a cover up!! There are so many prints to choose from and they don’t have to break the bank!
i love how practicle your videos are! not unrealistic and there are so many affordable options to these so no need to feel overwhelmed
I love you Anna, my dear elegant mentor!
Nice comment!
Yes! Let’s manifest our summers ladies. We deserve them. 👏🏻😍
May God bless you Anna. You are the epitome of the classiness and the elegance ❤️
I looked so boujee in this one horse city after following your advice last year 😅
I feel like I might have definitely influenced some people into stepping up their look. My husband was constantly noting on the looks I would get everywhere we went. When I went to a bigger city I still stood out and I heard a comment about how stylish my blazer was.
Thank you so much Anna!
I’ve been fashion clueless my whole life until I found your channel 💖
I Oder two white dresses last night from Zimmerman can’t wait to receive them.
Great tips as always my girl you’re appreciated .🙏
must be nice to afford these
Congratulations, hope you enjoy them🎉🎊💕... Can't wait to be able to afford those fantastic Zimmermann summer dresses
Love Zimmerman ! Enjoy
Νάντια Μαλακόζη Yes it sounds wonderful :)
I just ordered my first Zimmerman dress yesterday as well! It was on clearance, I can't wait until it arrives. Ladies, check for sales if you're just starting out on your journey. I got mine at Bergdorf Goodman ❤
Lol now I have Anna Bey in mind whenever I shop 🤦🏽♀️😂. Like I can see her looking at me bad when I stray to the wrong aisle 😂. Lovely content 👌🏽
You are an elegant lifesaver! Your suggestions are valuable especially for the hot Greek summer!
Thank you, Anna. I'm only a 15yrs old girl learning about being elegant and proper clothing. I live in the Philippines so this is a big help! I love you so much. ❤
I live in long flowy light colored dresses in the summer. They're so much more comfortable, appropriate for almost everything, and you can hide some imperfections in them. Unless of course I'm doing something active.
But I enjoy the feeling of my legs being protected without sweating.
White dressy shorts are the best! And they are the perfect investment. I had mine for years and they dress up even a basic tank top and basic tshirt with the right accesories. Definitely a most have. I alway bring them out in summer and they are truly ageless. I had mine for 5+ years!
Oh, Anna you look soo Elegant today. I love your background and room decoration 💜
Your videos made me learn to appreciate myself more. You not only teach us how to dress elegantly but also how to behave elegantly 😘
What stores (online/in person) do you or anyone recommend to get good quality yet not too expensive versions of the clothes you’re describing?
Zara, nordstrom rack, ann taylor loft, whitehouse blackmarket, macys are all good (4th of july sales coming up!). For any online store you find youre not familiar with, just search online for reviews of it and see if theyre based out of china - so many pop up stores that look great are just fronts for bad clothes and bad customer service. But if you do want something like that, just search amazon - at least you have amazon handling your money and returns. Also try second hand places like therealreal, tradesy, ebay, and poshmark😘😘
Zara has plenty - I uploaded a haul that has a white extremely classy blazer and beautiful pair of white shorts x I wore them and got so, so many compliments xx
J.Crew, Talbots, WhiteHouse Blackmarket - I've also found great stuff on eBay.
Poshmark is a good online place to shop, however you might have to dig a little bit to find what you are looking for, especially if you are looking for good quality items.
ok people, and now something available in Europe
J Crew makes great linen shirts and fitted white cotton blouses! I love a crisp white shirt.
I tend to avoid white because it ends up dingy and it never fails that I end up with a random stain from the world.
This is my problem too but I'd love it wear it and think it looks beautiful!
Im warmer toned and look better in creams and ivories than bright white, anyone else like this? Do you think i can get away with wearing offwhite?
Little tip here from a (not anymore) desperate mom : "percarbonate de potassium" is a PERFECT bleach for white clothes... ;) Sorry I don't know how to translate it from french. But here with my three kiddos, I got so relieved when I discovered it ! It takes off every stain my little monsters manage to get on their clothes. And I can wear white again. ;)
@@Artbug Absolutely! Wearing off-whites that suit your skin tone is better than wearing a white that does not; it's more elegant when you wear something that suits you.
I love to wear white! I always carry Shout Wipes with me in case of a stain. Nothing is more elegant than being prepared, in my opinion ☺️
The sun dress is my new summer staple! More feminine & hot weather appropriate than my usual short-sleeved tops & cropped "business-casual" pants.
Thanks Anna, you inspire me to dress more elegantly. I’ve been doing a wardrobe overhaul during lockdown and among my online stash are white shorts, white mini skirt, white midi skirt and a white button down shirt
I am from the tropic, aboit the linen, the idea is wear it very well iron, acrually we stach them, but when you used it is ok to get wrinkles.
Thank you, Anna for transmittinig me a good mood! Good luck in everything!
The Gap has a beautiful oversized linen shirt in several colors. I bought two and I love them. Having shorts in cream and white shorts are basics and wear wonderfully over the summer.
Great video Anna. The tips on heels & swimsuits were excellent. Had to chat w/ a friend about swimsuits. She's genuinely sweet, graceful & classy. She was at a point of dreading family gatherings. She didn't understand the nice/nasty vibes in the air, but I did. It's exactly what you said: father in law & others gazing; of course the ladies weren't happy about it. She's a naturally voluptuous hourglass & she's tall. Even a conservative styled bikini looks very sensual on her.
I suggested 1 pieces to see if it helped. After a couple of times she could tell the difference. I personally feel the insecurities of others is not YOUR problem. But the sad truth is we may have to adjust things from time to time. Keep the videos coming Anna!
I appreciate your inclusion of more photos of elegant black women. also I love your change of backgrounds, it’s always very pleasant to watch.
I really needed this video! Anna thank you for being such an inspiration!
Anna , you re so sparkling and classy !
What a role model for our generation !
It's Saturday and I'm have an Anna binge... I'm trying to shoot a RUclips video and I need to watch her enough times to be inspired to speak as elegantly. I speak really fast....
love you, Anna!! Such an inspiration! Quarantine, is not over in the states. I Adore the beautiful you, and your knowledge given to us! You smile with such ingenuity. If I had a daughter, I would want her to have the self respect, intelligent and loving attitude towards mankind as you do! Obviously, you are a business woman! May you prosper vigorously! WE need more women like you! PARIS!
Spot on 😍 I've already invested in many of the items you've recommended in your video, thanks to you, Anna ❤️ Much love
Hi Anna. I fell like there is an encouragement in your videos for one to bring their best self forward on a daily basis. I think most of us feel inspired by it and we appreciate it. Thank you :)
You know Anna, watching your videos has inspired within me a metaphor in which the elegant lady is like a flower and her classy gentleman is like a stem. In terms of fashion, the stems all look alike, and have less freedom to exhibit flamboyance (think a ball and tuxes) whereas the flowers are all beautiful in their own right (think ball gowns). And in terms of lifestyle, the stem is supportive, strong, healthy and materially provides for its family; it appears to exist in close relation to society at large, concerned with its own situation in life, matters of class and consequence., whereas the flower is more elegant, lives by design (a unique petal arrangement), takes greater care of the nuclear family housed within its petals, and in general, beautifies the world by virtue of its mere existence. And on the point of it being situated further away from the rest of society, and thus principally concerned with its own nuclear family; I have often observed that if you're the kind of gentleman who lets others (incl. family members) take advantage of you, it's more likely that a flower will step in to set things right, and claim what rightfully belongs to your family.
*I think all gentlemen need a little elegance and flair (esp. in their college to early-career years when single), and all ladies need a good dose of self-reliance, independence and financial freedom (for the same reason, and the peace of mind it would afford them to pick an agreeable suitor without the pressure of circumstance).*
This is how I currently think of the classy gentleman & the elegant lady roles. Just wish the gentleman role can focus more on our self-transformation too, rather than the interpretation of only living in servitude to a lady.
wow that was so beautiful! ❤️✨ Thank you so much for sharing this..its very beautifully inspiring !
Thank you ☺️ what a lovely surprise to find someone actually read all that and found it "beautifully inspiring." 💞🥂
Oh yes Sam, we read it. Your thoughts were beautifully expressed. You seem to be a wonderfully self-aware and progressive gentleman🌻
I love that all the legacy ladies in the comments are so supportive . Anna I love your videos
I love summer dresses with loose waists (I even wear them in my videos!), they suit my figure best :) Thank you, Anna, these are great must-haves!
Thank you for all of your fashion tips Anna!! I have never understood how to dress elegantly but you break this down into easy to understand steps xx
I agree 7 cm is the perfect daytime heel height, not being able to walk is never elegant. So many women, in my opinion, spoil their look by wearing super-high heels, which are often associated, around here, with the wrong sort of woman. I just wish more manufacturers made heels around 7 cm, shoes seem to be mostly either flat or high-heel, the choices for mid-heels are so limited. Thanks for another great video.
I'm so glad you're back to your previous form! I get so much more from your videos than I do from an I.G. post or the one page note posted on RUclips! Thanks for all your hard work at keeping your Videos Elegant, yet Informative & Professional!
Anna u are putting so much of your heart in your content 💗 love you
I love how she advised for one piece instead of two piece❤️💯such an elegant decent woman she is💕big respect 👍
I love light blazers! I am so glad you mentioned this!
I like light colored linen striped ones.
To hear you talk about the linen shirt gave me hope that I’m headed in the right direction. I’ve been wearing a linen shirt over my swimsuit for years! I must be more elegant than I thought. Thank you for the confidence boost! 💙
Have you ever been to a white tie event? Can you talk about what to wear for a white tie event?
Anna your confidence grows with each video and you look so beautiful!
I would love to go shopping with Anna. Toss out the cheap items and fabric in my wardrobe and personally teach me her elegant, feminine ways. Would you provide links for shopping?
Wow you are posting so many videos in the past few weeks. Love it that you are so productive❤️keep going
Oh I love your room decor! So fab. Could I please ask where your lamp is from? X
Love love love this! Ive been putting together a capsule wardrobe for work (i work in a very casule setting, but i want to dress nicely to respect myself and the clients i meet) and i love the idea of having staples in your closet... instead of a closet bursting full of choices you never grab for
I’m praying like crazy that next year will give me twice the opportunities that I didnt have this year bc I Can NOT wait to get out and strut!
I just got certified for personal training with NASM and I kind of feel the same as you. I cant wait to elevate a litte!
Thank you for the comments. In some countries you can find many local designers that make the most beautiful pieces in linen and wyck. And the beauty of it is that they might be even more exclusive because they are unique pieces, sometimes ethical, and support local economies
I never thought of white shorts, this is an amazing idea 😃 Next maybe easy hairstyles for summer and accessories 🙂
I am from Florida, and I agree with your advice for wearing a one piece. It's much more respectful to cover up sometimes. Especially to set an example. With a professional career to be recognized in public is a common occurrence. I try to be prepared to answer questions and look presentable in all aspects of life. So your videos are very helpful!
I've never clicked faster
I enjoy your sense of humor. You are truly blossoming. 🌸
This video could save us ladies a lot of time and money from buying those trendy cheap looking pieces.
