Exactly. Was just saying this to my husband the other day. I like to look put together even if I am going to Walmart. I feel better and enjoy even the most mundane activity when I do and it's really no big deal as I am just as comfortable as I would be in pj's or sweats.
My mom always said “It’s better to be a little overdressed than being underdressed.” She was so right! I love looking nice, even if I am wearing something that’s casual.
@@sheriw56and what would be the logic in that? To look like the worse dressed person at a dinner party? To look like you really don’t care? To go unnoticed? To not draw attention to yourself? I’m not sure I understand.
Today, the cashier at Trader Joe's asked me if I work in fashion because I always look so put together and stylish. I was so blown away! I told her "I learned it on TH-cam." 😁
My grandmother was an average looking woman who took care of herself, and always looked chic. Her motto to ALL the granddaughters was, “there are no unattractive women, only lazy ones” since it’s simply a bit of effort to look pulled together. I’m 69 now, and have lived successfully by that rule.
I love the design, but I don't have the budget. So I bought the *jklux* bag. Made from high quality legal snakeskin made by local Indonesian artists. From now on I never want to buy any luxury goods.
I love a good *preluxz* because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing or NOT." That part right there. That's IT. I feel like people stigmatize dupes but for me, I pause on large purchases that are trendy or when I feel the overconsumption mania setting in FOR ME. (It's something I struggle with LOL! I'm easily convinced to buy things I don't wear or use. They'll literally have the tags and I'll even forget I bought something and have 2 or 3 of them in my closet.) Love this video!
I never go anywhere without dressing nice. I love my style and dress for myself. I definitely take pride in my look. No sweats or leggings except for the gym.
As Tom Ford said, dressing well is a form of good manner and i absolutely agree. I always dress with intention, I'm a university student (40 yo one but still) and I'm not always chic, but my makeup is always done, my hair too. I have way more confidence this way.
Well, I wouldn’t go that far. Poverty, illness, and not caring about how others perceive us are all valid reasons for looking “not stylish” to the fashion-focused among us. Even being clean may be a challenge for people who are unhoused or physically challenged. Let’s not start engaging in interpersonal criticism on the basis of alleged “frumpiness.”
@@MK-hh1vo LOL! You are welcome. In recent years, I have become less concerned with what others think and more willing to nip out to run an errand in my sweatpants and t-shirt-frump city-because I just don’t always care enough to strive for chicness. I figure the general public will survive my appearance. For me (a long-time people pleaser like Ms. Charlotte), this newfound insouciance is a win! So I am hesitant to declare frumpiness is never excusable: For me, it is sometimes a genuinely positive choice.
My elderly mom dresses nice, does her hair and makeup for doctors appointments. Her aide asked her why she was doing that just to see the doctor. My mother said “people treat you how you look. You don’t have to look how you feel, if you’re unwell. As an older woman in society I want to Make sure I’m not ignored but respected . “
@@annan.3283 A totally valid perspective-my mother did the same. As an older woman myself now, I don’t want to frighten the horses, but if someone treats me poorly because I’m not sufficiently prettied up I feel that says more about them than about me, and I will judge them accordingly. For what it’s worth, research suggests that women are often underdiagnosed because we do tend to put our best face forward at doctor’s appointments, thus sometimes hiding symptoms of illness that the doctors need to observe. Just a different take on the matter; I certainly support our mothers’ rights to their choices.
I watch /listen to many different fashion videos for ideas and I must say your videos are not only helpful but also entertaining!! So funny! Love watching and sometimes just listening because you seem to have more depth than most others who do similar videos. Keep it up!
Im with you onbthe rant... people complain about their lives and lack of opportunities. However, they dont put effort into appearance. People judge, we all judge. We lose opportunities and gain opportunities by way of how we present ourselves. Its how the world works.
@@Esther_33 In the way we dress and how we treat other people matters. Even if I wear jeans , I may look dressed up to a lot of people in my city. Once I stopped by my sister's house with a nice pair of jeans, top and blazer, etc and she asked me why I was so dressed up? Lol. When I was growing up, we did not have the best of everything, but my mother always wore dresses and took care of herself and made sure we did too.
When the pandemic happened and my employer had us working from home, I may not have worn the most stylish of clothing. However, I always did my hair and minimal make up. I found that if I were having a stressful day, and then looked in the mirror and saw a poor version of myself reflecting back, I it made the day worse somehow. That triggered me dressing for myself.
Thank you for this video! I was just out the other night and the women kind of made me feel bad for looking elevated. I always wear basics mixed with high end accessories. I take a lot of criticism. I can wear $60 worth of clothes and 6k worth of accessories that I have collected over a few years . I love shoes , bags belts and jewelry. I tame it down usually no logos .I came home and thought I should quit wearing my beautiful things . I even decided to sell some of my bags . Your video made me feel so much better! I’m going to continue enjoying my elevated style. Why should I care what they think!
This is a really well curated video! I loved seeing all the pictures that further got your point across. I learned a lot and I feel inspired to shop my own closet to make more outfits! Thanks again for all your hard work! 😊
Thanks for the rant, I needed it..been in such a depression these past few years and let myself go BIG TIME. I'm going to start wearing my clothes now instead waiting for a special occasion..Everyday above ground is a special occasion. Thank you for my confirmation. Not only are you stylish, you are HILARIOUS!
Always look fwd to Sunday morning coffee w/your videos. I just purged my closet and feel a lot lighter. This video motivates me to be more intentional in my purchases. Im also trying to visit thrift stores to search for clothing gems .
I would never skip over any part of your videos! You are much too fun to watch and always offer super good scoop on fashion ideas/brands and life in general...truly enjoyable.
Love this video with all the pictures (love the cat too-gave me a good chuckle😂). I also loved your “rant”😂. I live in a fairly small town of Texas where we have now a few clothing stores. I am retired and mostly on our property so when I go to run errands I really enjoy getting dressed up (was one of the best parts of my job😊). Sometimes my husband comes home for lunch and I’m all dressed up -jewelry and all-he ask where am I going, I reply “Walmart”😂😂😂😂. One time I was at the grocery store and a gentleman gave me a compliment for my outfit (most people wear jeans and tshirt). And when I DO see a woman that put in effort for an outfit…I definitely give her a compliment❤❤❤ (that was my little rant😂). Love your videos and thank you for all your hard work😘!
Building a wardrobe and wearing clothes we love is a form of creative thought and self-expression. i agree that finding pieces you love don't have to be expensive and can be mixed and matched with those that are. Fashion is fun! 🙂
Great tips, Anna! I used to only feel like shopping on “skinnier” days. And I’d always hit the sale racks first. Talk about not valuing myself. Now I look for things I love, with a little extra room in the waist and bust where I tend to expand first. And the sale rack is my last stop. If nobody else wants it, why should I settle? I always have something to wear. If it’s not quite my first choice, that’s the signal to cut back on the food treats! Have a fabulous week!
I will be 60 i live playing dress up still 😂accesories💋bold lipsticks ...i just found you and so glad i did ...im that girl. ..who lives every day to the fullest ...have fun ladies 💓💓
I work from home, so I try to get "dressed" every day because it puts me in the mindset to work. I don't go overboard, because in between projects, I'm doing housework, so my daily wardrobe needs to look cute but still be practical. I also need to invest a little more in accessories, especially for summer in Orlando. I need to jazz up the tanks and shorts, and to also keep in mind that accessories always fit!😆 And I will say the one thing I hate that I "save" for special times is white jeans. I cannot get over the feeling that I'm going to ruin them every time I wear them. Anna, it was either you or Erin Busbee (maybe both?) who said, "let the stains on the white jeans happen, that's just part of their story!" I'm working on it!
The last point is so important, I’ve had many things that were in immaculate condition but out of style or no longer fit because I was always saving them for a special occasion. 🤦♀️
🌸great video! Absolutely true what are we saving our favourite pieces for? We spent our time and money choosing these favourites…rock your world wearing them!💥
Tip: Always double check your outfit choice before you pack it if you are traveling to go to an event. I made this mistake and ended up with a dress that I had recently had altered (it was in a similar garment bag to the one I had intended to take). It was inappropriately short and tight for the event and I was so self conscious all evening. I didn’t realize my mistake until I took it out of the bag to put on. Lesson learned.
You're absolutely right. I grew up in a city (Montreal) where everyone dressed (probably still does) nicely to step out for groceries. It's a self-esteem boost to know you look put together.
Spot on Anna. I "dress" every day. I am retired so I have more time to pick out my outfits. Sundresses now since it is so hot, whether I am staying home or out for the day. Unless cleaning, I put an outfit on that I could leave the house in and not be embarrassed. I definitely walk a little taller when I dress well :)
I only buy things I love and that go with the rest of my wardrobe. I buy a lot of my clothes at the Gap or Old Navy. I update with shoes. Right now,it is all about the ballet flats. In Fall, it was all about the loafers. You get the point.
My 97 year old grandmother, who lives in assisted living is fully dressed in a color coordinated outfit every single day. I’ve never seen her not dressed or not wearing her clip on earrings. I know where I get it from! I’m watching this video as I put together my weekly outfits as I do every Sunday and clothes for a trip to NYC next week. My motto is when you look good, you feel good!
I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
Anna I love basic classic pieces they are the foundation of any great outfit! I also think accessories and shoes will make or break an outfit. I absolutely love getting dressed for my day! 😊
People who say that they rather “be comfortable” than look put together simply don’t feel their best mentally, there I said it! If you feel like shit you will look like shit. An outfit is a reflection of how you feel, is not always a fashion show but you can always look decent with a little bit of effort and guess what , it will boost your self esteem like you have no idea. Just do it!
17:05..oh, Ms Anna! So true! and..it applies to so many areas of our lives! (items, decor, silverware even!) Very wise indeed! ;) Your video, subtitled with the guidance that we may learn are....fantastic! This is a gem of filled-to-the-rim notebook Ms Anna! Thank you so much.... helene :))
I enjoyed your outfit variations, showing that accessories are brilliant for changing the vibe of an outfit....also you give great advice about taking just a little time to think about what to wear, it really is about representing/showcasing yourself. There is a balance that can be achieved when you see the fun in creating an outfit, because it makes you feel good but not in an egotistical way!
Anna, first great video. Thank you. Next task is to look at Fabrique. But want you to know you look fantastic. Hair is sleek and great color. Your skin looks flawless. You are very strong and confident in this video. Loving it.
Everything u said is so so true..., but the "she gets dressed even when she has no where to go " is the European Women Mantra. I live in Portugal and even togo to the Supermarket.... Ohhhh .....i have to be put together. No no no sweatpants & Tshirt ever. Ever. Ever if we wear t-shirt is with jeans .. if is the sweatpants a blaset is a must. Tennishoes yes of course ..but the handbag....oohhhh it must be at thevery least... leather
Good job. You have choosen very beautiful poctures of combos and I love you New dresses and boho Look with the crochet top with the denim. Very beautiful and smart. Thank you🎉😊
I actually love getting ready and putting make up on and finding something to wear that is not sloppy. I like putting on some jewelry too. I do it for me because I feel better when I look nice. I do see people who go to the store in I guess whatever they slept in. If that makes them feel good that’s ok, but don’t ask us ladies who are still trying why we bother. You look gorgeous in every outfit. Thanks Anna ❤❤❤❤
How are you liking your STAUD bag? I purchased one a few weeks ago and I’m waiting for it. It’s the white and blue palm tree print. Those Tommy beaded purses are so pretty!
Ooooo I’m so excited for you! TBH it took me a couple trips out to get comfortable with it (not really sure why) but now I use it all the time and get soooo many compliments 😻😻
I also agree with your stance about the value of putting effort into how we look. Women are always being pitted against one another and especially on social media, life can seem like a competition. The article you mentioned made me think: instead of feeling lesser-than because another woman looks more polished, one might decide to declare that their own frumpy appearance is a reflection of how selfless, important, and practical they are. Therefore suggesting the woman who puts time and effort into her looks must be vain, bored, unfulfilled, and frivolous. In reality all of us are doing our best with our own challenges and could use a little support! I found this video to have exactly that non-judgmental, supportive tone we need more of. I’m subscribing now ❤
Hi Anna very good points. I grew up in Eastern Europe, so I always dressed up. It’s something that women, from that part of the world always do😜 and sometimes too much lol style and not making too many mistakes, comes with age, trying different things, through the years, brought me to conclusion, that simplicity with some edge and accessories, that’s where is at , for me… , especially living in SF, where all live turns around the beach , I mean not literally, but when it’s always so hot, you go for dinner, or spending evening, is mostly by the beach, so my closet, mostly of Chanel wardrobe, was not really suitable, for my lifestyle or climate., so I had to switch and I am in the process of doing that, and I am enjoying so much. Have a blessed day🙏❤️
Hello Anna, lol from 30k to plus 140 k, bravo, you are still you,thank you,sorry I was away, family problems.. I want to thank you for all that you do for everyone including yourself, we need to progress and try to be the best of ourselves.
Loved this video… I love getting dressed nice mostly every day even being retired…I actually do try on clothes before events and have named it my Practice Wears…I must say it has taken the stress out of getting dressed and consider myself a person who loves to find pieces that are alittle different and make a statement…that’s a reason love these videos on TH-cam
Mixed feels on the rant. I'm currently experimenting with my style, and experiencing a range of different reactions from myself and others. The more effort I put into my clothes, the better I'm treated. BUT. That doesn't necessarily translate into self- confidence, as if if I feel overdone or not like myself, I feel awkward and inhibited even if others like it. Overdressed is just overdressed to me. Like I missed a social cue. And when I'm at home, it's straight into my comfy uniform of v-neck black T and joggers/ leggings/ yoga pants. I feel most relaxed and productive when I am completely comfortable and do not need to be aware of my clothes at all. I loved working at home in these, and felt free and productive before I was dragged back to the office. Still, I'm loving the upgrade in treatment, and am slowly getting more comfortable with being seen. So there's that.
Excellent 👍💚video, the polka dots dress is best,,don’t look frumpy, look fabulous and stylish express yourself dress for you, know your style check yourself in the mirror before you step out in public. Thank you best wishes to all 💐
I am one of those women who picks out her clothes the night before when I know the next day I have to leave the house. From outfit to accessories and shoes. I don't like scrambling the last minute to do those things. I love the dresses. I always wore dresses and skirts until I was around 37. I still wear skirts for special events, church, funerals, ect. I love femineity. BTW, I loved the shine to your hair today. Did you use a product to get it to look that way? I find it hard as a blonde to get a good shine to my hair.
Great advice! I know I feel better just putting a nice pair of earrings on. My sister in law is one of those people that always look fabulous, she has a great sense of style. ❤
Anna, love the rant 😂 you look great in that lip color. I always look forward to your video’s. Thank you. Btw I am 71 years young and agree with all you said.
I agree with everything you said. That said, I find that I just don’t have anywhere much to go that’s dressy at all anymore. I’m feeling kind of out of synch with the styles as well as personal body changes as I grow older, that’s making everything feel and look awkward. It’s hard to find anything that fits me well. I end up opting for loose comfort because everything else is too tight or awkward or stiff. And I just can’t do that anymore.
I’m always glad I took time to dress myself and look nice. I somehow always manage to run into someone I know, lol! Or, making a first impressions on someone else. Love your sense of humor and videos💕.
I agree just a little time yourself a little nicer even if it’s just for around the house you feel better about you. Great video this helps so much .your advice is so on point,just to bring things home. Thanks for sharing.
I had to have a massive clear out of my wardrobe a year ago due to health problems. Now before I buy something I ask can I wear this on days I feel like death warmed up and feel nice? Maybe no-one will see me, maybe I will look awful but I will feel better about myself. I really believe it makes a huge difference.
Fantastic video and content Anna, I totally agree with your "rant". My fitted clothes are all comfortable because I am now a healthy weight (thanks to the advice of pcrm YT channel). All this leisurewear/athleisure is usually worn by overweight people who are the least likely to do anything athletic. Being dressed also stops you from overindulging at mealtimes. I never wear elasticated waists or too baggy clothes for this reason, it's too easy to overeat with "comfortable" clothes made of stretchy fabric. I think that in future there will be a reaction to sporty/too casual clothes and those who are better dressed will stand out for being chic and put-together, while the majority of sadly overweight people will have no choice but go on looking like slobs because if you are overweight (like I used to be for years) nothing feels comfortable, and you won't feel good mentally either, let alone positive and productive.
Yep! I agree getting dressed is so important even if it is for work from home. The days I dress in my leggings and a top are the days I feel demotivated and scruffy and uncomfortable all day!! I'm very well renowned for being the one whose always dressed up 😂
Thank you, your videos are always interesting and I enjoy watching every time! Your advice is great. For example, it took me some time until I started wearing my „2good“ clothes more often. Now, I feel much better when getting them on and having fun with them. It might get dirty? Why do I have a washing Maschine and a dryer 😁. One day I was just wearing a dark grey yoga bootcut trouserleggins with a nice white blouse and flat nude sandals, my husband said I look festively. See, ladies, it is worth it 🙂. Greetings from Klevendeich.
Love your work. I am almost 60, petite and fit and would love to see mature,playful, modest, classy dress. Our population has a huge amount of baby boomers and my age. So it make sense to accommodate this grouping. You are easy to watch. Maybe consider a mature podcast every now and then ??? Thank you. 😊
The only time you would see me frumpy and you won’t is because I’m too sick to care, where in that case I’m going nowhere and nobody will see me 😂. I’ve always enjoyed styling my clothes, though basically I wear a classic style like, jeans and blouse or pullover sweater, slacks and blouse, Linen pants and blouse or tshirt and dresses I love to accessorize with jewelry, hats and scarves.
People tease me for looking too nice just to go to Target. My mood is always better when I look my best. When I look frumpy I feel frumpy.
Same here but I dress for me not for others
Yes! 100%!
I have no idea what Target is. But - you get more respect shopping if you go well dressed
Same. I will NEVER be seen in public wearing PJ pants.

My mom always said “It’s better to be a little overdressed than being underdressed.” She was so right! I love looking nice, even if I am wearing something that’s casual.
Absolutely! That is my saying as well. It goes along with being dressed too warm rather than not warm enough!
I love this! I say this to my daughter too. She doesn’t care right now but I’m hoping it will stick with her 😀
❤❤🎉🎆🎆😍
Interesting. My mother used to say just the opposite. Especially when going, for example, to a dinner party.

I always have something to wear. If it’s not quite my first choice, that’s the signal to cut back on the food treats! Have a fabulous week!
Love this, Sheila! That's such an interesting way to view it as well - you deserve to have clothes that fit and make you feel beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Yep! Life is too short and busy to obsess about skintight fitting clothes! 🤣
I will be 60 i live playing dress up still 😂accesories💋bold lipsticks ...i just found you and so glad i did ...im that girl. ..who lives every day to the fullest ...have fun ladies 💓💓
I work from home, so I try to get "dressed" every day because it puts me in the mindset to work. I don't go overboard, because in between projects, I'm doing housework, so my daily wardrobe needs to look cute but still be practical. I also need to invest a little more in accessories, especially for summer in Orlando. I need to jazz up the tanks and shorts, and to also keep in mind that accessories always fit!😆
And I will say the one thing I hate that I "save" for special times is white jeans. I cannot get over the feeling that I'm going to ruin them every time I wear them. Anna, it was either you or Erin Busbee (maybe both?) who said, "let the stains on the white jeans happen, that's just part of their story!" I'm working on it!
I love this! Love that you get dressed for work even if it’s from home. And yes.. wear those white jeans! It will be ok! ❤️❤️❤️
The last point is so important, I’ve had many things that were in immaculate condition but out of style or no longer fit because I was always saving them for a special occasion. 🤦♀️
Now that I’ve built my wardrobe, I get to buy the accessories now! How fun. Thank you Anna. Absolutely love your channel
Excellent video and advice. Your red lipstick looks great on you. The white outfit is nice!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Everything you said is so true especially the mental effect dressing well has on us! 👏🏼
🌸great video! Absolutely true what are we saving our favourite pieces for? We spent our time and money choosing these favourites…rock your world wearing them!💥
Yes! How great would it be to have a day where you used the BEST you have of everything all at once 🙌😀
Tip: Always double check your outfit choice before you pack it if you are traveling to go to an event. I made this mistake and ended up with a dress that I had recently had altered (it was in a similar garment bag to the one I had intended to take). It was inappropriately short and tight for the event and I was so self conscious all evening. I didn’t realize my mistake until I took it out of the bag to put on. Lesson learned.
You're absolutely right. I grew up in a city (Montreal) where everyone dressed (probably still does) nicely to step out for groceries. It's a self-esteem boost to know you look put together.
Spot on Anna. I "dress" every day. I am retired so I have more time to pick out my outfits. Sundresses now since it is so hot, whether I am staying home or out for the day. Unless cleaning, I put an outfit on that I could leave the house in and not be embarrassed. I definitely walk a little taller when I dress well :)
I only buy things I love and that go with the rest of my wardrobe. I buy a lot of my clothes at the Gap or Old Navy. I update with shoes. Right now,it is all about the ballet flats. In Fall, it was all about the loafers. You get the point.
Long time watcher-you look amazing!! Keep doing whatever you are doing!! And as always thank you for the fashion advice!!!
I really appreciate this video. Thank you Anna. This isn't the usual tired rehash of tips--- 'do your nails', 'do your hair'. Good Work!
My 97 year old grandmother, who lives in assisted living is fully dressed in a color coordinated outfit every single day. I’ve never seen her not dressed or not wearing her clip on earrings. I know where I get it from! I’m watching this video as I put together my weekly outfits as I do every Sunday and clothes for a trip to NYC next week. My motto is when you look good, you feel good!
I have two pre-loved *preluxz* that people left the stickers on, and when you remove them, the hardware looks different than the hardware right next to it that the sticker didn’t touch. It’s not because the other has scratches, the sticky stuff affected the finish.
Wow! You have fabulous taste and a fabulous wardrobe.
Anna I love basic classic pieces they are the foundation of any great outfit! I also think accessories and shoes will make or break an outfit. I absolutely love getting dressed for my day! 😊
People who say that they rather “be comfortable” than look put together simply don’t feel their best mentally, there I said it! If you feel like shit you will look like shit. An outfit is a reflection of how you feel, is not always a fashion show but you can always look decent with a little bit of effort and guess what , it will boost your self esteem like you have no idea. Just do it!
17:05..oh, Ms Anna!
So true!
and..it applies to so many areas of our lives! (items, decor, silverware even!) Very wise indeed! ;)
Your video, subtitled with the guidance that we may learn are....fantastic!
This is a gem of filled-to-the-rim notebook Ms Anna!
Thank you so much.... helene :))
Love ur pics on wall behind you - the small photo with lots of white mat in a black frame is great !!!!
I always dress nicely no matter what I do.
I enjoyed your outfit variations, showing that accessories are brilliant for changing the vibe of an outfit....also you give great advice about taking just a little time to think about what to wear, it really is about representing/showcasing yourself. There is a balance that can be achieved when you see the fun in creating an outfit, because it makes you feel good but not in an egotistical way!
I'm drinking a shot every time you say elevated .....keep it going lol
😂
Hahah!!! I take no responsibility for how intoxicated you get 🤣🤣🤣
Anna, first great video. Thank you. Next task is to look at Fabrique. But want you to know you look fantastic. Hair is sleek and great color. Your skin looks flawless. You are very strong and confident in this video. Loving it.
Everything u said is so so true..., but the "she gets dressed even when she has no where to go " is the European Women Mantra. I live in Portugal and even togo to the Supermarket.... Ohhhh .....i have to be put together. No no no sweatpants & Tshirt ever. Ever. Ever if we wear t-shirt is with jeans .. if is the sweatpants a blaset is a must. Tennishoes yes of course ..but the handbag....oohhhh it must be at thevery least... leather
Haha I love this!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@ANNAREID29 😍
Good job. You have choosen very beautiful poctures of combos and I love you New dresses and boho Look with the crochet top with the denim. Very beautiful and smart. Thank you🎉😊
Thank you for introducing me to Fabrique! They have lovely pieces at reasonable pricing for the quality and craftsmanship!
I actually love getting ready and putting make up on and finding something to wear that is not sloppy. I like putting on some jewelry too. I do it for me because I feel better when I look nice. I do see people who go to the store in I guess whatever they slept in. If that makes them feel good that’s ok, but don’t ask us ladies who are still trying why we bother. You look gorgeous in every outfit. Thanks Anna ❤❤❤❤
Happy upcoming Fourth, Anna, to you and your sweet family❤❤❤
Thank you, Cathy! ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate that the stylish women that you used as examples were all different sizes and ages!❤️
Beautiful dresses... They also look great on you!!! 😊🎉🎉
Thank you, Kathleen! ❤️❤️❤️
Lawd, love all those dresses on you, when I was younger I used to be able to wear those style top/dress, Love your videos, TY for posting them!
How are you liking your STAUD bag? I purchased one a few weeks ago and I’m waiting for it. It’s the white and blue palm tree print. Those Tommy beaded purses are so pretty!
Ooooo I’m so excited for you! TBH it took me a couple trips out to get comfortable with it (not really sure why) but now I use it all the time and get soooo many compliments 😻😻
I love the idea of dressing for yourself. Also, you look amazing with the eyeliner and red lip combination.
I love your videos! Would love suggestions for how to find comfortable, quality, affordable shoes
Hi there. I just now subscribed to your channel. Thanks for all the great tips. Love and hugs from Pretoria, South Africa.
I also agree with your stance about the value of putting effort into how we look. Women are always being pitted against one another and especially on social media, life can seem like a competition. The article you mentioned made me think: instead of feeling lesser-than because another woman looks more polished, one might decide to declare that their own frumpy appearance is a reflection of how selfless, important, and practical they are. Therefore suggesting the woman who puts time and effort into her looks must be vain, bored, unfulfilled, and frivolous. In reality all of us are doing our best with our own challenges and could use a little support! I found this video to have exactly that non-judgmental, supportive tone we need more of. I’m subscribing now ❤
Hi Anna very good points. I grew up in Eastern Europe, so I always dressed up. It’s something that women, from that part of the world always do😜 and sometimes too much lol style and not making too many mistakes, comes with age, trying different things, through the years, brought me to conclusion, that simplicity with some edge and accessories, that’s where is at , for me… , especially living in SF, where all live turns around the beach , I mean not literally, but when it’s always so hot, you go for dinner, or spending evening, is mostly by the beach, so my closet, mostly of Chanel wardrobe, was not really suitable, for my lifestyle or climate., so I had to switch and I am in the process of doing that, and I am enjoying so much. Have a blessed day🙏❤️
The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
Loved your little rant... couldn't agree more. Thanks for this post.
Hello Anna, lol from 30k to plus 140 k, bravo, you are still you,thank you,sorry I was away, family problems.. I want to thank you for all that you do for everyone including yourself, we need to progress and try to be the best of ourselves.
Loved this video… I love getting dressed nice mostly every day even being retired…I actually do try on clothes before events and have named it my Practice Wears…I must say it has taken the stress out of getting dressed and consider myself a person who loves to find pieces that are alittle different and make a statement…that’s a reason love these videos on TH-cam
I worked very hard at putting together a functional wardrobe. I love every piece. I look forward to stepping out in them.🎉😊❤
Love the cat cameo lol so cute
lol glad you liked that 🤣
Mixed feels on the rant. I'm currently experimenting with my style, and experiencing a range of different reactions from myself and others. The more effort I put into my clothes, the better I'm treated. BUT. That doesn't necessarily translate into self- confidence, as if if I feel overdone or not like myself, I feel awkward and inhibited even if others like it. Overdressed is just overdressed to me. Like I missed a social cue.
And when I'm at home, it's straight into my comfy uniform of v-neck black T and joggers/ leggings/ yoga pants. I feel most relaxed and productive when I am completely comfortable and do not need to be aware of my clothes at all. I loved working at home in these, and felt free and productive before I was dragged back to the office.
Still, I'm loving the upgrade in treatment, and am slowly getting more comfortable with being seen. So there's that.
Excellent 👍💚video, the polka dots dress is best,,don’t look frumpy, look fabulous and stylish express yourself dress for you, know your style check yourself in the mirror before you step out in public. Thank you best wishes to all 💐
Amei todas as bolsas lindas e de muito bom gosto.Parabens *yutulu*😘😘😘
I love your picture frames!
I am one of those women who picks out her clothes the night before when I know the next day I have to leave the house. From outfit to accessories and shoes. I don't like scrambling the last minute to do those things. I love the dresses. I always wore dresses and skirts until I was around 37. I still wear skirts for special events, church, funerals, ect. I love femineity. BTW, I loved the shine to your hair today. Did you use a product to get it to look that way? I find it hard as a blonde to get a good shine to my hair.
Thank you!! Honestly, I’m I switched back to normal, every day shampoo rather than the “clean” stuff and I feel like my hair is so much better! 😀🤣
@@ANNAREID29 Your hair did look very pretty!
Great advice! I know I feel better just putting a nice pair of earrings on. My sister in law is one of those people that always look fabulous, she has a great sense of style. ❤
Anna, love the rant 😂 you look great in that lip color. I always look forward to your video’s. Thank you. Btw I am 71 years young and agree with all you said.
I agree with everything you said. That said, I find that I just don’t have anywhere much to go that’s dressy at all anymore. I’m feeling kind of out of synch with the styles as well as personal body changes as I grow older, that’s making everything feel and look awkward. It’s hard to find anything that fits me well. I end up opting for loose comfort because everything else is too tight or awkward or stiff. And I just can’t do that anymore.
What designer was the black handbag you wore with the black and white polka dotted sundress please?
This one! bit.ly/4bu1AC1 I see they have some beautiful new colors too 😍
Great video, Anna! You always present great info. Thank you!
I’m always glad I took time to dress myself and look nice. I somehow always manage to run into someone I know, lol! Or, making a first impressions on someone else. Love your sense of humor and videos💕.
I just saw you all over one of the peloton girl’s instagrams. I was like I KNOW HERR!!! Haha. Thanks for these videos.
Thank you for these tips, I look forward to learning more!
Wonderful video, as per usual. TY, Anna!
Those Fabrique pieces look stunning! Too bad they don't ship internationally.
Thank you! 🙌❤️❤️
I agree just a little time yourself a little nicer even if it’s just for around the house you feel better about you. Great video this helps so much .your advice is so on point,just to bring things home. Thanks for sharing.
I had to have a massive clear out of my wardrobe a year ago due to health problems. Now before I buy something I ask can I wear this on days I feel like death warmed up and feel nice? Maybe no-one will see me, maybe I will look awful but I will feel better about myself. I really believe it makes a huge difference.
Fantastic video and content Anna, I totally agree with your "rant". My fitted clothes are all comfortable because I am now a healthy weight (thanks to the advice of pcrm YT channel). All this leisurewear/athleisure is usually worn by overweight people who are the least likely to do anything athletic. Being dressed also stops you from overindulging at mealtimes. I never wear elasticated waists or too baggy clothes for this reason, it's too easy to overeat with "comfortable" clothes made of stretchy fabric. I think that in future there will be a reaction to sporty/too casual clothes and those who are better dressed will stand out for being chic and put-together, while the majority of sadly overweight people will have no choice but go on looking like slobs because if you are overweight (like I used to be for years) nothing feels comfortable, and you won't feel good mentally either, let alone positive and productive.
Yep! I agree getting dressed is so important even if it is for work from home. The days I dress in my leggings and a top are the days I feel demotivated and scruffy and uncomfortable all day!! I'm very well renowned for being the one whose always dressed up 😂
Super agree!! There are some of us that enjoy looking nice and put together :)
Thank you for another great video! Could you possibly do one focused on Fall/Winter 2024 Jewelry & Handbag trends?
I would love to know where to purchase that black bag with big gold accent, please
Thank you, I love your channel. Been watching you for two years now. Also a Florida girl!❤
You look so Beautiful in that shade of red lipstick 💄 can I please get the color!
I loved the rant! Thank you for putting yourself out there. 💕
Thank you, your videos are always interesting and I enjoy watching every time! Your advice is great. For example, it took me some time until I started wearing my „2good“ clothes more often. Now, I feel much better when getting them on and having fun with them. It might get dirty? Why do I have a washing Maschine and a dryer 😁. One day I was just wearing a dark grey yoga bootcut trouserleggins with a nice white blouse and flat nude sandals, my husband said I look festively. See, ladies, it is worth it 🙂. Greetings from Klevendeich.
I looooooove this!!!! So much!
One of my favorite videos of yours! Thank you
What colors would you recommend for a cinnamon or olive skin tone?
I love your advice about how to not save your speciel items for only 1 occasiaon a year❤Greetings from Denmark. I LOVE your videos😊
Thanks for a great video Anna! You´re so right. /Marie from Sweden
Love your work. I am almost 60, petite and fit and would love to see mature,playful, modest, classy dress. Our population has a huge amount of baby boomers and my age. So it make sense to accommodate this grouping. You are easy to watch. Maybe consider a mature podcast every now and then ??? Thank you. 😊
The only time you would see me frumpy and you won’t is because I’m too sick to care, where in that case I’m going nowhere and nobody will see me 😂. I’ve always enjoyed styling my clothes, though basically I wear a classic style like, jeans and blouse or pullover sweater, slacks and blouse, Linen pants and blouse or tshirt and dresses I love to accessorize with jewelry, hats and scarves.
