You crack me up while giving solid advice! I love it!
Great video - again! I love your channel and your content, however lately the excessive use of these whooshing sound effects started to really downgrade the quality of your videos. Please consider using less or none of them. Thanks! PS: keep up the good work!
I'm a career orientated teen.
I love the fact that u teach women to never lower their standards and never accept second class treatment.
Can you make a video on how a high value woman maintains boundaries?
Why do some losers start hating a woman after being rejected ( or if she doesn't give af).
How to start building network ( in school/ university)?
YES! I accidentally overdressed on a first date recently. He cat-fished me slightly and didn't look as his photos suggested. In anticipation of the man I had expected to meet, I dressed to the 10s (my skirt was a little tight, but overall I looked really elegant), and he wasn't able to have a conversation with me for half the date as he was gobsmacked that I looked so much better than he expected. The silence was extremely awkward 🙄
I can’t download the cheat sheet. Is there anything I can do?
“We are not desperate on this channel!”
😀 🙏
Truth!😂
FACTS 👏🏻
👌😎
Ok 👌🏾
a little bit maybe
The logo thing... My mom taught me: "are this brands paying you to be an endorser? Then no need to showcase them".
wow she s rightt
Wow! Your mother is so wise! Lucky you. 💕 Please tell her that this random netzen is sending her a hug full of love. ❤ And thank you for sharing her advice with us. 🙏
Wise mother!!!
My mom used to say that too ❤
wow i never thought of it that way! But your mom is definitely right!
"Wear clothes tight enough so people know you are a woman, and loose enough to they know you are a lady."
Great advice.
i love this so much! show off that beautiful figure but do so in a flattering, classy way 💖
ı cant find the middle god help me
@@Maya33777 I thought Sophie Loren said this?
@@Torihappyness Coco Chanel.
My first date with my husband of 33 years I was so broke I bought a very basic dress from Oxfam. It was red. He still remembers my "sexy red dress". Yet it showed no cleavage and was knee length. My tip would be if you are broke buy something from a Charity shop with a good label and well made. If necessary get your local tailor to alter it to fit. This costs around £10.
WELL SAID! When I was an intern at a big tv network, I was invited to a work dinner and wore a 25 cent dress from a thrift store. I got lots of compliments and still own it!
The other day I was wearing a top the "wrong" way around, but on purpose. I did it so I didn't have a deep cleavage but showed some of my back instead. My colleague pointed out: cheap people show the cleavage, classy people the back. I liked that saying.
Can you please do 10 things elegant ladies should wear in an office or back to school?
This would be helpful
@@HelloDrTaj Wouldn't it thought? I'm going back to school in August as a "non traditional student" and am stuck on how to dress. I know I can't get away with student trends, but don't want to look like a teacher either, yet don't want to be "too dressy."
Great idea!
@@katemccrea6963 that’s a good point. I hope she is able to do a video on this topic.
Great idea! This would be very helpful. I'm 18 and I prefer to dress elegant but it's sometimes difficult not to look older than I am
I dont belong from an elegant family and she helps me become the elegant woman I aspire to be so much!! I love her honestly ❤
Keep up the good work girl 😍🥳. Many of us did not come from affluent and elegant backgrounds BUT it shouldn't stop us from wanting and getting better!
look who I found 😂
@@muskaansingh6824 Hi, I would love to join!
Belong 'to' or 'come' from. 'Belong from' is incorrect grammar.
@@aoutsky It’s obvious that her first language isn’t english, give her a break!
Somethings ( for the most part ) I completely agree with you! My husband took me on a casual first date to Santa Barbara CA, I wore a Michael Kors bag that even he gave me a compliment on . Maybe bc the logo wasn’t loud , the color was tan, and the cut of the purse is actually really perfectly constructed. So many people always compliment me on it . Later in time after few dates he said “ I love that you aren’t a monogram billboard “ meaning he couldn’t stand women who bought the LV, Coach, MK, Gucci etc purses or clothes that simply had no style rather a logo slapped onto a garment . It’s not the first or the last time a man would express that to me. I choose my bags like art work . Second I love buying quality Jewelry. And men - all men do notice …my husband is a man of success and respect . He is kind and at times we both go out on a wild date , however he loves it when I look “ beautiful & timeless “ - that’s how he compliments me . So, yes elegance with men that are more traditional is something they value .
Ladies, moral of the story--stop being a follower and using all the tacky trends. lol. 🤣 Thanks Anna for being transparent! This needs to be taught in schools. 👍 Hugs from LA, - A u r o r a ❤❤❤
"Swimming in cleavage🏊♂️"
When Anna gets a little passionate about the elaboration...I can't with her🤣😂😅💕
Lol me too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🥰
I literally died at this part!
That's so true - what you wear to impress your girlfriends won't impress a man. Sometimes I like to wear fashionable, but slightly masculine clothes such as elegant pants to look professional. My partner hates them and calls them 'clown's pants' 😅 Most men don't follow the latest fashion trends, so unfortunately they don't understand some of our choices, it's always better to choose something classic.
I think there's some danger in what Anna suggests.
I truly believe that the most important thing is to find who you truly are and wear/be that unapologetically.
Same with Coach bags. Some girls can't even imagine paying that much for a bag.
I think the more we embrace who we're, the better chances we have to attract a person we can align with instead of pretending to be someone you're not..
@@IEVAKambarovaite but the main thing that she said about bags is be logoless even if they aren't well known brands or cheap, if you watched her older videos even when she recommends which luxury bags to buy she emphasize on being without or with a small logo
Girl get a new man
Or you could dress how you want from the start and attract men who will appreciate you dressing your own way vs dressing basic rather than getting someone who insults how you dress. Id rather not be with someone who will insult anything about me, thats why you be upfront and yourself in the beginning
@@IEVAKambarovaite Agreed. Being who you really are from the start will attract people who appreciate you for who you are and who youre actually compatible with.
I will never forget the time I dressed very elegantly for a date and the man showed up in jeans and a polo shirt.
I had the same experience. The worst was that we could not even go to the restaurant we booked because they wouldn't let anyone in dressed in jeans 🤣 That night was just a disaster.
@Anja whaaat?! must've been very awkward lol
I saw worst.. Thank God it wasn't my date, but the guy was wearing active wear ( at a classy restaurant)
Ohhh Anna needs to dress men too
No way… well, I suppose by wearing jeans that man instantly showed you that he’s not the man of your dreams.
This is truly disappointing.
I think that men should also be dressed elegantly for the first date. And I also think that this is polite to inform your date beforehand where are you going, so that she could dress properly.
I’ve been to some very awkward dates when men didn’t bother to tell me the place and I ended up dressed elegantly where it was not truly appropriate.
For example, at the fresh fish restaurant that was not an elegant place at all. It was that kind of very simple places where the dishes are tasty but the tables are nasty… I understand that it was a good place to eat, I just wish I knew where we were heading before I dressed for the date.
I was very uncomfortable sitting there in my silk dress and thinking about not-so-clean tables, fish scales everywhere and many kinds of sauces that were very easy to splutter all over.
I’m not looking to date until after I finish my education, but when I do I will be dressing elegant and listening to your video again! Thank you Anna, have a beautiful day
I love this! Focus on you, your education, career and wait for the right guy. So worth it 🥰 Also investing in high quality clothing in your 20s - I regret buying so much zara and topshoo 😔
@@mariagabbott Emotionally mature and balanced adults should be able to handle maintaining relationships and growing their careers/education at the same time. The early years of your career are actually the easiest- work and life just become harder and harder as you climb the corporate ladder and have more responsibility (less time to date). The easiest time to find a partner is university/grad school and the beginning years of your career. Trust me- you’ll find that after age of 25, most of the men you work with are in serious relationships.
I really love Anna's dress in this video. A big YES to the colour, the cut, the silhouette, and the fabric! I also love how she complimented it with simple jewellery and make-up to let the dress really shine. To me, that is the perfect outfit for a date! ❤️
"Men are simple creatures", yes sis! This got me laughing so hard.
Anna is in fine form😝
I don't think she meant it the way you've interpreted it though.
@@satisr8497 yes👀
They are!
They are also so predictable🤣🤣🤣
I've seen some of your past photos when you were not yet this elegant as you're rigth now... knowing that and seeing you rigth now gives me a lot of respect for you. You really evolved Anna... congratulations and keep your improvement journey. I wish there was someone like you in my twenties advising me.
I feel the same! But now, I'm learning and evolving. It's never too late to level up and be classy!
@@crowgrl13 Repent , the kingdom of God is at hand , read your bible for yourself, and pray , there is nothing our there in the world ,ask God to guide and protect you ,if you have any question please ask me, Jesus loves you ;

😳 not elegant to bring such things up! Just saying😂
What a strange thing to comment
Girl, you've became pretty playful. Love the side
LOVE IT 😊
I was thinking the same thing 😂 she’s like a big sister
@@anotherboringusername yeah.....it's quite refreshing. Like she doesn't sugarcoat things but make the lessons fun
Happy wife..
Yes and I am here for it
When I was 14, my dad picked me up from figure skating. He had come in to watch a bit at the end. When we were driving home I told him of a move I did and he said he saw it, and I asked how he knew it was me from the other end of the rink and he replied "All I had to look for was your blue eye shadow". One comment, just one gently spoken comment was all it took to clue me in and I never wore blue eye shadow again and toned it down a lot by switching to subtle, soft browns and beiges. Dad was class.
Anna is more fun on her videos lately I’m loving it. (I didn’t come from an affluent family and never trained to be elegant, thanks to Ana I’ve learned a lot 💕 and my husband is loving it)
Tell us more :) What did you change? What did he say? :))
Anna, you seem so bright and comfortable around camera. You really are shining. Congratulations on your unique content and your improvement as a professional!
can you please do a "what elegant ladies wear to the office" it would be really helpful to a lot of ladies!
Second that 👍
Hi, I just keep it classic. AND always have your pants, dress, etc. tailored! I can't stress this enough.
Yes please
Especially in summer, nude panty hose and tweed suits are so hot to wear. How can you see wear work attire. I don't like wearing pants bc they are too hot sc bd not feminine enough. Love wearing skirts fur to my delicate frame but lately it's a heatwave and even sheer nude pantyhose are too hot for work.
Yes, please, Anna!!
Anna, would you film a video about how much jewelry we should wear and what looks cheap?
I would go with dainty pieces with atemporal silhouetes, nothing too in your face. Keep layering necklaces to 2- pieces, and dont pull a Meghan Markle with the rings, it just looks tacky.
Just pile it one sweetie...you already look cheap, so it won't matter.
@@TalentedAmateur why would you say I look cheap when you don’t even know me. People can be so rude and classless.
If she would make it in realistic manner, like no diamonds, Cartier, Boucheron etc, would be really nice
@@TalentedAmateur Hey, that's rude.
Not “ready to breastfeed him”! Our dear elegant Anna has me rolling within the first minute of the video! 😆
Oh my goodness! Laughing so hard while at the same time grateful someone finally said it! 🤣
I personally hate anything branded. Including bags. I've always thought it has looked tacky and gravitated to unbranded clothing and accessories that is of high quality material 👌 I've had some of these items for 10 years and they are still timeless and classic.
It's very hard to search for unbranded things that are high quality because whenever I Google "high quality bags" the results are exclusively high fashion brands.
@@maheenm.k1015 that's because of Google tag manager and SEO. So a brand will purposely put that into their marketing strategy for that to pop up. What you should do is look on Etsy, local markets or be specific with "leather handbags near me" etc. Also secondhand is always great, I don't know people shun away from secondhand fashion. It saves the planet.
@@HaleySmith thank you
@@maheenm.k1015 no problem at all 😊 good luck
Agree. Labels are sooooo try hard- pathetic and tacky
Useful tips! “Don’t appear as if you’re ready to breastfeed him”. 😋
Made me laugh 😅
I'm STILL laughing at that!
I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣😊
Really made me 😂
Even though I'm not aiming for the same target males as Anna's audience, I LOVE ❤️ the principles that Anna applies in every video. I can take what she's teaching (along with the really helpful examples) and apply them to MY life and the type of man I'd like to attain. Thank you Anna, you're the best!!!
What kind of males are you aiming for?
I just came back from the second date. I wore linen maxi wrap red dress and he actually complemented it, said it’s very nice because it’s so simple 😊
I had a lovely red linen dress that I sadly outgrew, so I sold it. Later to find out my husband really liked it. He told me too late. It’s nice when men can compliment you.
What did he wear?
@@donnaboyle7513 I also think it has something to do with the colour as well 😊 I’m sure you can find something similar! There’s ton on Etsy for example that make simple linen dresses 😊
@@micnik3573 we went on boat (I wasn’t dressed properly 😝) so he wore some short sleeve shirt and shorts 😊
I love the way Anna is showing so much more personality!! She's hilarious.
There have been studies that see how comfortable women really are when they’re showing skin. Scientists asked women and men, each alone in a room, to do a math test while wearing a bathing suit instead of clothes, and the women generally did a lot worse on the tests, were very nervous, and were constantly body checking. Guys were generally okay in their bathing suits. I personally dress conservatively and get a lot of comfort from knowing that I can still show off my shape without showing much skin.
I don't like labels on display in any case. And that includes Louis Vuitton, or any brands written all over (e.g. Versace). I just think it's vulgar.
I buy and wear nice (and expensive) clothes because i like them, and not to signal status. I like to wear quality because it actually does feel better (doesn't need to scream the price).
Agree! It displays total lack of imagination & self confidence in your own personal taste.
Most extremely wealthy people I know prefer to wear bespoke & they also tend to wear high quality accessories made by little known (or relatively unknown) artisans. Most of the time it’s only new money & middle class that care for expensive flashy labels or iconic items.
Couldn’t agree more!
Totally agree.
That's why brands like Celine are for elegant fashionistas - you buy one of their unbranded $4,500 handbags because they're elegant and don't scream designer
The coach and mk speech has really got me, because I was never into logos but some of those bags are nice if you choose them wisely. I think this advice is more about the logos than the brands. Because Prada, gucci, ysl, louis vuitton also have really tacky bags because of the super logos in it.
Yes some Louis bags are very basic as well as Michael Kors. They all just slap a logo on it I think it depends on how well your outfit is put together the brand doesnt matter
I reacted too, but guess the bags are ok, but just not high end. If you can buy it at TJ Maxx... OR the bag is expensive but you see it everywhere, like LV.
Logomania always looks cheap, does not matter if it's Fendi or Nike.
I totally agree
The thing is, will your man even notice your bag and its branding?
Some men won't notice if you're carrying a bag at all. Others have no clue about the difference between bag brands.
Some men do know ... they will know you have a plastic bag with branding that screams "DISCOUNT STORE!!!" These men are usually clued into which brands are super expensive and prefer women who carry them. They will give you bonus points if your bag says CC and subtract for MK.
I personally think a focus on brands is a sign of shallowness. My bags are all independent brands, no logo (except for two 1980s vintage Coach bags back when they did not brand them and they lasted forever). I am not interested in the type of man who can accurately guess the price I paid for my wardrobe, and whether it's trendy or not :-)
I'll never forget a couple I saw downtown one evening on a date. She checked off all the Nos on this list and swaggered down the sidewalk 10 ft ahead of him, never looking back, and swinging hip for all she was worth. The regret on his face that he took her out... Wow.
You're literally my chic fairy Godmother 😘 back in my teens and early 20's, I've dated dusties who couldn't even pay for a date to men taking me to steak dinners that have $300-$800 total tabs. You're so right about self respect and setting boundaries. I'm a damn Queen and should be treated as such.
Right? Watching this at 24 motivates me to stand in my worth with men
Anna’s content is such a breath of fresh air! Her words are so empowering and uplifting. I always feel great after listening to her😊
Agree. She always makes me feel energetic and motivated. Better than prozac :D
@@swedish_granny3153 she’s so full of wisdom, I love it
Me too!
"Those sheets look like a crime scene" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved that comment! I actually LOLed
❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣😂🤣
Any advice for the very young girls?(like 20).Our generation doesn't value,or even like,elegant and feminine fashion or behaviour.I enjoy it very much but sometimes I feel out of place.
and that's exactly why you should embrace it :) you feel out of place because unfortunately elegance is not common among us young women, and high quality men, because of your femininity and behavior, will notice you first. don't be afraid, chose what you like ❤️
Date older men however be careful as many of them will think that if you are young then you are easier to manipulate.
I hear you. I was like that when I was 20. 42 now. Just continue to be yourself.
Be yourself! You will be the one everyone remembers. The others will hopefully catch up to you someday.
@@idlexxx1868 what shoud age gape be
I like the point about dressing simple at first and not so artsy. Outfits that are “girl cute” are nice but men usually can’t appreciate them
This. What women think is cute. Isnt cute to men, alot of the time. Men are very simple. Anything past a certain level they dont understand. Classic and simple. Even modeling a news anchor type of look as an example to start.
@@guacgirl precisely
Unless he is into fashion
I think there's smth off in a man who
labels u 'just a Michael Kors girl" and has thoughts like "i am not even bothering to buy her a Chanel bag, she might not even know what Chanel is". Bringing a Chanel bag to make a good impression to a man like that seems like a waste of energy, i wouldnt even want to meet him at all sksksksjs
Exactly. Honestly we should buy the Michael Kors bags to filter out the nasty men who think this way!!
@Agatha Harkness That’s true, but I think that doesn’t really apply to straight rich men, they know most brands and could tell them apart. They still might think MK is a showoff though
Exact ! And I’ve already been to a date with a gentleman from high society. I was carrying a bag mickael kors (not one of those with big logo) and he complimented me on the bag : he found it pretty
I agree, also guess has come back into fashion so even though their bags are poor quality I don’t think it would throw men off
Because old money men don't really see Michael Kors or Guess or Coach worn by the women they're surrounded with, if that makes sense
I have started watching ana since a year and got myself changed so far. I've initiate making a modules of clothes, accessories and cosmetics that should be on my closets. Also Im on process renovating my closet new. Alot of things I have changed to the side of feminine elegance and classic. My surroundings have started noticing these changes and appreciating me. Thanks anna. I feel myself more prestigious
"Ready to breastfeed him" haha! I love your humor😋
Don’t wear too much perfume!
do you have any perfumes suggestions and spray count
Please not. Some people are actually sensitive to them. When you get to know them better you can ask them do you like this?
Exactly I feel like girls in the bathroom with that string Victoria secret spray yuk
@@bellashehasastalker3931 someone gave me VS lotion as a gift and it was awful. But I worked at a cosmetics counter and even if it was a long time ago I'm still a little woozy around perfume. I tried on everything at an expensive store and it was a mid range one that finally worked. Also I do better with men's scents which is probably a big nono🤣 that's okay. My man hunting days are over
@@micearenice8963 I see grown women with that strong spray and they thinking of yes I smell good and you don’t . The smell irritate me . My mother only put parfumerie on her wrist and a little on her neck . She doesn’t spray haha
"Swimming in your cleavage because it's so deep..." I AM DONE, dying of laughter right now...Anna kills me hahaha
in which video was it? as I don't hear that line on this video. Thanks before
I thought I'm the only one who finds that part hilarious 😂😂😂
😂😂
Always teaching me! Thanks you 💛 I’m a 20 year college student and feel uncomfortable using some elegant clothes, cause they made me look older and not fit in some places, could you do a video about dress elegant according to the age?
I’d love to see a video about X number of things an elegant lady would never do on a dinner date. Like drinking on the first date? (Obviously drinking to excess wouldn’t be advisable) But are there drinks that would be considered elegant and feminine while also showing your fine tastes? Same thing with what kind of meal a high caliber woman would order if your going on a dinner or lunch date. I always hear about ‘foods that you shouldn’t eat on a date’ and I’d love to hear Anna’s advice about that!
She had videos on that topic….
Thanks for letting me know! I’ve only started to watch over the last few months so I haven’t gone through all of her videos just yet. I was thinking of a list of food and drinks that are for more refined tastes, like 10 things an elegant lady would never order on her first dinner date.
Less than one minute in and I'm already rolling on my bed from laughter🤣🤣🤣🤣
You really outdid yourself this time Anna, you really did.
Anna you are becoming more humorous. I laughed out a few times watching this.
Anna’s videos are much more tight and engaging over time. Also, her presentation and delivery has improved a lot too.
yes she has great sense of humor though
@@stealthaccount573 totally agree. Especially in some of her Instagram videos she is hilarious.
I heard this saying "your clothes should not come in before you". Don't wear something that is so weird or flashy that he can't see you through it.
Anna this is who you were always meant to be. This is your element, you look so happy and we all feel happy watching you learning from you 😍
“He has to work for it! Nothing in this life is for free” I love this 🤍
Thats like what my guy friend told me before.
@@rosedawson1646 it’s true tho. Nothing in life is ever free. Everyone is working just to survive and have a roof over their head. Or working towards a goal.
in these days it is really annoying how many clothes have a masculine cut.
I agree with u
Yes or are way too short and too desperate
@@kathyalex778 yes it wait her super boxy and masculine which makes me look much heavier because I have a curvy bone structure or super revealing crops with cutoff Jean shorts which is not my style
I have a small waist and wide shoulders and hips, so I have a hard time finding clothes that flatter my figure. So annoying that so many articles of women’s clothing hide my curves. Thus, it is easier for me to wear dresses and skirts.
Great video, Anna. I agree so much. Also, I love the red dress you are wearing in this video. Red is my favorite color and fits my coloring. Where did you get this beautiful dress? Thank you for keeping it classy.
The breast feed joke had me 🤣
Love how you just called out everything most people are afraid to call out. I agree with every one of these points.
Im a coach lover and im not offended coz i get you Anna. You cater to a certain kind of group of women that wants a certain kind of lifestyle and you're just sharing your knowledge. 😉 💟
When I met my now husband it was in a club. To my surprise he said " 1 of the things I quickly noticed about you is that you don't wear much make up and you still look beautiful"
I guess not knowing how to wear make up paid off 😬
This video was so needed. Men really appreciate simple things when it comes to fashion. My father was very involved in my fashion and busy patterns, weird cuts, complicated layering were never a option. I love your dress....it looks absolutely gorgeous on you!!
When you said “ready to breastfeed him” I just… 💀💀💀
Anna, we need a Shopping Tour at Zara (like last year) or a Zara haul from you! 🙏🏼😊
I agree!
She did some time ago.
@@marialeon6765 Zara updates as quick as I update my fridge. It’s probably completely different now
I want to see other brands like Uniqlo or banana republic
Club Monaco would also be a good one. It’s pricey but good quality and classy, timeless pieces that often go on sale.
Anna, you are brutally honest in your videos. I love this! Regarding MK - I agree 100%. Every second lady has one and "proudly" wears it everywhere.
After years of experience, I totally agree with everything Anna said here! I’ve had so many bad experiences because I show up on the first date in my fashionista outfit, too sexy, etc, but it also turns out those were the wrong guys for me anyway.
Thankfully my current bf really loves the way I dress. I’ve calmed down a lot too, thanks to maturity and Anna Bey’s advice. My bf and I were friends first so I didn’t worry so much about what I was wearing when I was spending time with him in the beginning (I think fashionistas always put SOME thought to their daily outfits). I think everything worked out the way it was supposed to, but I’ve definitely lived and learned 🤣🤣🤣
I'm living for Anna's sense of humour 😂
I use a little bit of tinted moisturizer on my body, it's so light it's barely there but it gives a healthy glow. Which I think is kinda perfect.
And Anna, thank you for the lovely tips, they are useful to say the least.
These days you really have such a positiv and free energy ! It’s contagious. And your outfit is on point - please keep up this path and your great work .
I discovered your channel a few days ago and now literally bingewatching your videos. I love your elegant way of talking and expressing yourself.
"Up close, it's never that nice!" Nailed it. 😇
I wore caked up makeup and trousers with an off shoulder top on a social gathering 🤦🏻♀️. Atleast now I know what I should avoid . Thanks Anna.
Lol
😂😂😂 we all make mistakes!
the outfit sounds cute though
what do elegant ladies wear on sunday brunch, dinner, book launch, formal parties ??? plz guide on this
Excellent video idea!
Yes to this!!!
Palazzo pants with a nice top, blouse looks amazing for any occasion.
Wrap dress
Knee length or midi dress with pointy toed block heels
I have a date tonight! Anna is always here to save the day 😉
Good luck for your date!
Good luck dear
Hope it went well!
‘The signature dress of the desperate, attention craving, thirsty woman’ …noted, I will NEVER entertain the idea of a bodycon dress 😂
You are lovely, with refreshing, spot-on advice. I always heard there are women men date, and those they marry. Thanks for snapping so many seekers into reality,
Personally, I only wear leather shorts, pants or skirts, with a silk or chiffon or linen blouse. I keep my leather dresses for evening wear. For a first date when they suggest dinner, I propose coffee or a lunch date, much better. I wear minimal makeup or natural make up, especially during a daytime date. I cut the date after 2 hours. So far, it has worked for me. Ladies, be yourself and do what makes you happy. Anna Bey, thank you again, for such video. Merci à vous. ☺️
Sis you look beautiful 😍
Why would you get ready yourself to just go to coffee.
@@miloudivyne Many women just don't have time for different reasons (work, evening class,etc) so it's better for some to start quickly during daytime and if everything looks promising, go on a dinner date.
@@miloudivyne Why not? Some people find it fun and enjoyable to get dressed and look good.
I just bought a Michael Kors bag yesterday and thought how i splurged and got a really elegant bag 😅
Luckily it doesn't have a logo all over it
Well that an expensive bag where I'm from now a man wide think so also
I haven't even got one of them. I wud not spend £££££££on a chanel bag
Then you chose elegantly + wisely ~ enjoy your bag, it’s how you wear it with confidence that adds class ✨😎
I just did the same thing! I will continue to purchase unbranded Michael Kors bags that have timeless designs and are made of high quality.
@@adrianavargova I do too! I have a number of Michael Kors bags that are made from rich, supple leather that suite my style and or not covered in logos. It’s not about the brand, in my opinion, it’s about how you wear it.
Lol mine does
Can you do a video that deals with in laws in an elegent way ? Such as being told to your face that another daughter in law is their favorite ? Yep that's my week so far.
It has happened to me, I had replied 'Thank you for sharing', wipes the smug off the face. Powerful and subtle way to create your boundaries.
@@logitek7778 I think that's an elegant and brilliant reply.
😳
“She’s my favourite in-law too” haha, no you couldn’t say that…could you?
@@sams3015 I should've ! I was dead panned and didn't say anything.
The point about handbags is so true! I never paid attention to my bags and was surprised when my boyfriend actually mentioned how he thought I needed something different than the "basic" one I had. Men may not notice a lot but I guess they do see those details!
I agree 💯 with you. My husband tells me that all the time. From dressing elegant, make-up and how we need to conduct as women if we want men to respect us. Love your advices and I'm listening and making changes....
I’d love to know what kind of brands/unbranded accessories & clothes to wear..when you can’t afford Chanel & Hermes!!! What can we replace the MK & Coach with on a budget? Thank you!!!!
Check out Guibert Paris. I bought the Allure bag and it was shipped to me in nyc from Paris. 2-day delivery and i was surprised by the fast shipping. Their leathers are made in France and bags are made in Spain. They have a store in Paris too. They are affordable. The Allure bag I bought is $400. Definitely better than MK or Coach bags that are made in China.
Polene Paris has some bags of great quality for reasonable prices and no logos
Exactly! I can't afford Hermes, heck I don't even own a LV. I live on a teacher salary 🥲
Just nice quality bags without a logo.
If you can’t manage to buy a bag from a really nice brand, go for mid range (probably the same cost as your MK or Coach bag) that doesn’t have a prominent label.
Plenty out there
Aspinal of London, Strathberry, Demellier have nice bags, good quality and affordable. Even the royals wear this brands.
I can't stop laughing, when she said the battle field 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one who feels sad because the video has ended? 😭😭
Loop it sis, loop it! :-P
I write that cause I always do lol!
That's a good idea though😳
@@salmaflower3333 I know, right?! :-D
@@a.b.1184 yes you are!
The Tabby bag from Coach is quite expensive and Coach has very good quality things. I love this brand and they rebranded themselves and will continue to wear it.
"When you look at the battlefield" Probably one of Anna's best comments !
Hi Anna. Can you please do a video on alternatives to MK and Coach bags. Something for starters.
Yes!
Tammy and benjamin 😊
A few designer leather bags that I think could be good alternatives in mid range, and have no logos - 1.Polene 2.APC 3.Staud
Cuyana
@@amychen2504 thank you so much for the suggestion. I checked their website and they have e beautiful classic bags. But they are only in US, and I live in EU. May be they ship, I will check.
I took your advice from head to toe to attend a reunion then dinner with gentlemen. THANK YOU. The response was amazing and flattering. Also you made me more aware about my home appearance. Even my 5 years old son complements me all the time. It feels great. Next step it get in healthier shape. 🤗🥰🤗🥰💕
Elegance at the gym and working out outdoors, please
Interesting story on the make up. I work remotely and i rarely wear make up for my job. But yesterday, I put on some simple make up with a touchup of eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara (super simple, nothing dramatic). My boss who is also a woman was on the zoom call with me and our client. She messaged me afterwards and said my eye make up looked lovely. I was flattered and decided to implement it more often. ❤
I’m so glad these “Nos” aren’t in my wardrobe. Literally none of these make me guilty!
#3 - This is I love simple, colorful leather purses with no labels.
yes, these girls walking around with the Michael Kors and Coach bags with these huge logos, screams, NYC subway/newbie girl. For the money you spend on those you could just buy a nice leather bag or any thing without logos. Also SPOT ON with the heavy makeup and short dresses.. as I have literally witness a wealthy man just come right out and say "that is not an appealing look".
it, to me, screams “look i have a huge overdone logo, that means i’m rich, right? i want attention!”
I bought a leather bag in Colombia that everyone likes, it has no labels or brand, yet looks elegant and classy. 👌
I have always avoided things with big brand on them, it’s tacky and cheap (in my opinion). All my bags has tiny brand on them, and sometimes I try to find local products with no brand at all. The only thing I find it hard is to find nike or other trainers with small logo 😂
"Your skin color is beautiful just the way it is" - love that you said this!
No need to shove the brand names in his face... YOU are the brand! 🌟
I’m a vertically gifted 6ft 7in and one recurring thing I’ve noticed is that the ladies want to seem tall to be with me. The first date pattern I’ve noticed is that they wear high heels, stilettos or wedges etc. After they get to know me I tell them that I appreciate their efforts to be taller but I’m happy if they wear short heels too. I do love seeing a woman in tall stilettos and a nice dress, but it depends on the occasion.
Anna is like our big sister, giving great tips. Thank you anna ❤️
Anna, you are like the sister I've never had. All my life I never had someone to tell me all those things, thank you. ❤️
Also it would be very interesting to have your view on different parfumes and how to search for one. Wish you a wonderful end of the weekend!
Can you do a video showing nice “date” looks?
I disagree with Anna about the coach bags. I'm someone who likes quality products and I've seen that coach delivers that consistently. They have great quality for a much cheaper price point. The craftsmanship and materials are great too. The brand is just not trendy rn. I agree with her about Michael Kors and guess. Michael kors just copies other designers and most pieces are monogrammed or tacky. Guess.... Well guess makes bad quality products. They hardly use premium materials and the products are not even close to luxury
I see many Mk bags on middle income women everywhere in the neighborhood I work in and they look cheap to me . Its not a brand that I would buy.
No she's correct on it. I'm around a lot of men and when they see a woman showing off their labels it is a huge turn off because you are high maintenance and all they think in their mind is what they have to maintain by marrying you. Not a turn on.
@@ah5721 I agree that mk is trash. Not just for the wierd popularity it has among certain demographics but because they make bad products. I spoke about coach
@@ginnyfromdablock7551 I think you should see her video again. She said that guess, mk and coach are bad to buy because they're not expensive or rare enough for a man to see you as a high value woman. Instead she would recommend chanel, YSL or the likes. I think you missed the point
@@tabiakhan9870 I've seen poorly made ones of those too. Just not as often they aren't popular in my area.
"sheets look like a crime scene" ..... I laughed so hard...I love your advice Anna, awesome video as always xx
🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Be clean, neat, fresh and a little natural looking. Leave something to the imagination, and any brand logo on anything is a total no-no.
Now, I always think of tall, very slim girls/women when I hear the word ‘elegant ‘. But what about us short, round ladies over 60 who want to look elegant or as elegant as possible. Can we have some tips please.
Thank you.
Meryl Streep on the Devil wears Prada.
@@grazsts3005 Uh? M. Streep is neither short, nor "round".
@@maram6211 but, reaching her 60s in the film. That is a ton of tips on how to look elegant there, in your 60s.
This is exactly my issue ... short, very hourglass, and over 60.
My take is to focus less on the cut of clothing than on the fabric. I have an Eileen Fisher knit dress from Italian merino wool that looks expen$ive and makes me feel like a millionaire. Don't tell anyone I picked it up at the outlet for $35.
Also, look at some of the women in high level politics - not the wives, but the women in power. Angela Merkel, Nancy Pelosi, even Margaret Thatcher (if you're into vintage). They are not young tall and slender, and dress well.
For that matter, look at Queen Elizabeth. I don't care for her style myself, but you can't deny she's elegant!
@@grazsts3005 Rubbish, first, there is no "style for 60ies", second, what works for Meryl Streep, would look terrible on a short hourglass.
This shade of red really suits you.
Anna, thank you for educating ladies. I'm obsessed with your amazing red dress you have on here. I'm looking for a beautiful sophisticated yet easy to wear red dress. May I ask you what brand is your dress, please? Thank you kindly.
Agree, definitely no complicated clothing or makeup early on in the dating stage.
Thank you Anna!
