Yes, I agree. You see the outfit and how it looks right away. Many vloggers focus the camera more on themselves and less on the outfit they are describing. Good job Ms. Anna.
One thing that I would add is that, sometimes you can have all designer pieces and no one would believe they’re genuine, and other people can wear H&M and people will wonder if it’s designer. All because of who you are, how you behave, on top of how you style it.
I’m aware that I cater for an audience who are interested in the finer things in life. But I’m also aware that many of you ladies are in the process of getting there, just the way I once was. And then we have to rely on budget alternatives!
I agree, I love her videos and tips, they really helped me to elevate my looks and know what to look for when I shop now and how to present myself to the world in both looks and attitude. She made me a better person and all her tips are logical and common sense 🙏
Thanks God someone called out that trend of the “influencers” and “tiktokers” of wearing cheap looking tweed garments and thinking they look so elevated. 😂 very much appreciated Anna
Omgoodness! I’m sitting here in torn pajamas and eating brownies like I’m watching tv. Silver lining: I ordered a pair of silk pajamas from Lily Silk and I used Anna’s discount code. Baby steps … 😊 ☺️
I prefer the white tweed dress over the black one considering your light colored features. I think black looks a bit aggressive/overpowering on you, I wouldn't wear colors darker than navy blue (for clothing)! Having said that, I choose the white one :)
I love my Monday morning Anna-Bey-pick-me-up! It’s like chatting with a best friend or sister to kick off the week. (I plan to sign up for the transformation program in 2023 so I can start Every day with a little Anna Bey during coffee hour!) By the way, Anna you are the reason I went back to university to finish my degree. You talked about the significance of education and leveling up in one of your past videos. I watched that video at a certain time in my life when I didn’t have anyone else motivating me. Thank you. 💓
I may not be the only one who noticed it but your walk elevates your looks even more. You have a great walk! It matters also in the way one presents himself.
Buttons can always be replaced. I bought a really cute dress from Target but it had cheap looking buttons. So I purchased some nicer buttons and replaced them. Now the dress looks like it’s more expensive than it is.
I don’t know what you did with your eyes makeup in this video but it look amazing on you, it made them much bigger and it showed your whole eye colour. Love you Anna ❤
Anna I love that you are bringing more of your sense of humor out. You are so warm and likable, It just shows that you do not need to be frigid in order to be classy and elegant. I also appreciate you trying out some more budget friendly styles. I would also love to see some more mid range brands, items in the 200-300 USD range please
@@ccdm515 I too have alot of old clothes from H&M like sweaters and jeans that still look A-Ok even though I machine-wash them. On the other hand, a pleated skirt I bought a year ago fell apart after a month - even though I wore it once or twice and hand-washed it. The jeans I bought there have lost their shape very quickly & got twisted at the seams. And generally they now seem to use polyester for like 90% of their stuff.
I ended up buying the beige rib knit sweater dress (the big baggy one). It got here today and it’s actually not too bad. A little itchy. But I will wear it with a slip. It’s much better than I expected, last time I visited a store the clothes were not too impressive
This video is a godsend because I was wondering how I was gonna dress elegantly in the winter, as this is my first winter after I started my level up journey. Thank you so much for your work, Anna, you’re amazing ❤️
I have a hack to keep the long sleeves up and not falling for the long knit sweater dress and #17! 💡Put sleeves at desired length and then use a regular hair elastic wrapped over the sleeve, then just cover it up with the extra fabric and the sleeves will stay in place so you won’t be bothered pulling them up constantly.
Looking elegant, classy and leveling up has really helped with my career progress. Having the necessary qualifications (such as gaining a university's degree or speaking a foreign language) in a very important asset, but people don't understand, that looking classy, elegant, sophisticated can have a major contribution. We need to make sure we look nice and presentable and not be lazy. Many ladies start the leveling up journey to be able to get afflent and sophisticated men, but for me this it was different. Throughout this journey, I have gained career development which I tdid not expect. Can you do a video on what type of jewlery do elegant ladies wear? I am soooo into jewlery lately!!
I really appreciate these videos with cheap/inexpensive clothing items because it allows me to find my style without costing a fortune. I feel a lot better about donating a $30 dress than a $300 dress! Thank you Anna.
My disclaimer: for the west, or in countries similar to the socio-economic where I’m at. It’s considered “affordable”. I’m aware it differs from countries and continents ❤
literally Anna, I have been following your channel since the beginning! my favorite channel on youtube! thank you for bringing class and elegance to a society that is sadly placing emphasis on trends and vulgarity
YES -- bring on the apple-shape styling content we desperately crave! We're the most underrepresented shape in models and influencers, yet tons of us in real life!
Wow you look (extra) stunning today! I love this video! My husband & I constantly budget so we can retire early & wealthy; But I truly enjoy dressing in a feminine, classy, & elegant style in the mean time! I have a few designer items that I’ve saved up for, but I really like these videos for options that are in my price point ❤
The blue dress looks GREAT with the belt! Really really nice! You should keep it and wear as the color looks great on you as well! The beige dress looks better with the thicker belt in my opinion.
Wow that grey knit dress with the thick grey belt and black boots suddenly looks amazing 🤩 thank you so much for these simple ideas and elegant budget styles. I love dressing for comfort as well so this is perfect!
The art is to find garments on a budget with great fabric blend, not full of poliéster or acryl. Good fabric blend gives the actual comfort of wearing, and money are well spend. There are some hidden gems like that in fast fashion stores on a budget. Personally, I would appreciate such video much more, since I really care what fabrics I buy and wear 😊
I love this so much! One thing I've noticed that instantly gives away a cheaper look is crew necklines.... I feel it's the easiest neckline for fast fashion brands to create, but it looks SO basic and I think is one of the main reasons some items look mega frumpy too. 20 minutes of my life well spent - I enjoyed every minute, thank you Anna 😘
According to my country this stuff are expensive & I can't think of buying them without much research. But what I learnt from your videos that exploring good fabric,neutral colors & dressing more feminine can lift up my personality. Thanks Anna. ❤️
A transition into my 30s hasn’t been easy. I used to wear a lot of fast fashion H&M-like outfits! Time to wear something more elegant and quality though I am glad I can still wear something not-so-expensive yet super feminine from time to time. Thanks, Anna!
I don't know why I feel every time I watch videos that you are with us and our best friend who takes into account our thoughts and improves our feelings and way of life, about myself I have changed a lot after I followed your channel. Thank you Anna❤
My problem is that whenever i’m trying to dress elegant, people Jokes about that, saying that i’m dressing like an old lady. In Romania, if I would wear the first dress, I would be judged a lot. And it’s always hard for me😔
I'm Romanian too and I tell you to not care at all. Don't care what people think. An elegant lady always looks good. Leave the 40-year-old women that still dress like teenagers behind.
PS, I am short (160cm), and I never know what kind of coat or outwear to use. Mid-length doesn't[t look right but I don't know about going full length.. it would be great to show us the whole outfit including the coat or whatever else is classy with these types of dresses (that I love) Thanks!
A video on how to care for these H & M items would be great, Anna. I find the materials fade, stretch, pill, lose buttons, etc. So, to maximize their lifespan, I have to be extremely gentle with caring for them. This would help a lot of young ladies who want to always look their best, even when first starting their elegance journey on a smaller budget.♥️🇨🇦

My problem with fast fashion is SIZING! very often the smallest sizes still look baggy on me, so I need to look for brands that have petite sizes. And sizing is so important!
I nearly always change the buttons on less expensive clothing. It never gives the game away. I really like your clothes haul from the less expensive shops Anna, thank you, Bon semaine, Swan

I really like how the last dress looks on you but I'm a dressmaker and this dress has a lot of wrinkly seams at the sides that I know won't go away with pressing or steaming. It was made without enough care (therefore cheap) and it's unfortunate.
@@pinknicho Evelyn wood is a dressmaker here on youtube & she gives excellent advice. She also runs an online school. Making your own clothes is a great hobby as you can choose the fabrics & make individual pieces, good luck with your sewing journey.
If you haven’t already, can you PLEASE touch on ironing, steaming, properly washing and taking care of garments. It’s insane how much of a difference that all makes in looking well put together and elegant!
Anna could you please do a video on belts and how to use them and which size to what type of clothes? I would also welcome if you made a video on stuff that you use to maintain winter wear like for example what would you recommend for a shoe care, winter accessories and how to maintain coats clean and looking classy. Like shoe creams and products, coat brushes and that sort of stuff. I don’t think this is given enough coverage and it would be interesting to know because for example what I’ve noticed is that my wealthy clients often use stuff I have absolutely no idea existed. Thank you very much ❤💐
I love this idea of shopping for more nicer, expensive-looking clothing at more affordable stores. Can you also do stores such as Loft or Banana Republic?
First, you asked...the white tweed, or the black tweed dress...the white! Secondly, that navy dress and the black boat neck...and that last dress? They all looked truly FABULOUS on YOU!!! ❤️
The worst problem with the white pleated dress is that bishop sleeves, that I LOVE, have not thight cuffs. They have to be VERY thight around the wrist to fall with grace. All changes immediatly, as it happens with a belt on dresses. Check and tell me, girls!!
I love how funny Anna is. Even though she teaches women to be elegant and feminine - and she is DEFINITELY all those things - she's not afraid to not look elegant once in a while. Great advice and very fun to watch :)
For shopping on a budget, I go to Banana Republic. I got a wonderful 100% cashmere sweater from there. Also, many of the items I have from there are 100% cotton or other natural materials. If you have an eye for it, you can find great quality items.
Thank you for what you do, Anna! I've been on my elegant journey for about a year now. I'm happy to have found your channel. :) Hard to meet people in a small town I live in.. You inspire me!
Anna, try a long necklace with the long blue dress rather than a thin black belt. Or long pearls, or perhaps a vintage magnifying glass pendant necklace. Just give it a try 💛
Can you please do a video on hairstyles (updos, braids etc.) and hair accessories? Not tutorials on executing them, rather what types of hairstyles and accessories can elevate your look. Also what styles are appropriate for different occassions. This would be so helpful!
I really wish we, as a society, would stop labeling modest clothing as "frumpy" or "grandma". There are many women around the world, (even for religious purposes such as Hasidic Jews, Muslims etc.) that prefer to be more covered up. Some women, like myself, may have major scars they don't want visible. There is NOTHING wrong with being more covered up or wearing loser fitting clothing. You are not frumpy or grandma. Besides, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor were beautiful, elegant grandmas 😉.
Cos they really are frumpy and grammy. The point of wearing frumpy and grammy clothes are to NOT show off yourself. Of course you can wear abaya and still look glamorous, especially the princess style cut.

I’ve never bothered with belts. But seeing the transformation of that blue dress has convinced me. Also, I respect that you strongly state your opinion, and don’t get worked up about people who attack you. You are very clear in each video that this is your opinion based on your training and experience. So it’s surprising to me that people feel the need to chime in and disagree. As someone who has also been falsely accused of using fillers, I respect your calm and fact-based response.
The blue dress, the long navy, the wrap dress and the last one were elegant looking. The rest looked so cheap for the price tag and they definitely have a problem with their sleeves.
For a good deal of us starting out of college or on a budget trying to level up a $50- $150 dress is on the high end . That said it's nice it's know there are some cute sweater dresses at H&M ! I just wish I could feel the fabrics through the screen !
Loved your makeup and hair. Those knitted dresses are actually quite nice loved the colours - really great picks. I'm tempted to now go and have a look.
Hi Anna! More like this for summer from H&M! I love this video! Cheaper clothes that are decent, like you say, are great to pair with more expensive accessories and I feel that it blends in and you can get away with it.
Do I just see that in each video you look more beautiful than the one before, or are you really like that, my elegant lady, the beauty of your heart is reflected on your face? Thank you Anna for being with us.❤
I believe elegant ladies also know how to use their budget wisely. They would find nice items that are affordable and look classy. Your videos are very helpful!!!❤
A couple of days ago I had deleted my H&M online account because for weeks their page wasn't working right and I got always kicked out and explained everything over and over on their hotline. It turned out that they have these problems a lot recently but just don't bother to let their costumers know about it so they waist time and effort for nothing! To delete all my online connections (such as newsletter and account) seemed so reasonable after watching your video, thanks a lot Anna😘
I love it Anna! You’re educating as how to shop wisely and being elegant in all budgets! I realized long ago the design brand is not everything, for to be true lately some of designs brand is going like no sense in the style as well the prices, it’s possible to look polish with the fast fashion brands! Thanks for sharing, it’s inspiration and as well fun to watch ❤
Hey Anna, I bought the last dress you revealed in the video already this summer - in both colours - beige and coral. Good to see that I made the right decision long ago before you released this video. Thanks anyway for confirming my decision with your purchase. ❤
Thank you for watching! ❤If you want to learn fashion styling from me, go to elegantstylist.me for more information.

100%. How someone carries themselves, they're posture, fit, mannerisms, etc, are even more important than wearing designer clothes.

For shopping on a budget, I go to Banana Republic. I got a wonderful 100% cashmere sweater from there. Also, many of the items I have from there are 100% cotton or other natural materials. If you have an eye for it, you can find great quality items.
Thank you for what you do, Anna! I've been on my elegant journey for about a year now. I'm happy to have found your channel. :) Hard to meet people in a small town I live in.. You inspire me!
I love how your posture brings out the beauty of every single outfit!
Very accessible content!
Thanks Anna!
For someone on a budget, this has been so helpful to me! Thank you a thousand times, Anna!
The grayish belt looks so good with that woolly thing
Anna, try a long necklace with the long blue dress rather than a thin black belt. Or long pearls, or perhaps a vintage magnifying glass pendant necklace. Just give it a try 💛
Not sure what it is in this video that changed, but you look stunning! 💙 you are shining
I agree!!! Don’t know what it is either.
You should design a capsule wardrobe and sell it online - You've a huge following, so you could easily sell them!
Can you please do a video on hairstyles (updos, braids etc.) and hair accessories? Not tutorials on executing them, rather what types of hairstyles and accessories can elevate your look. Also what styles are appropriate for different occassions. This would be so helpful!
Yes Ana is right, H&M dress ,sure we can look expensive if u know how to spot the right fabric & design
You know what? I admire your intelligent way in presenting things !
I really wish we, as a society, would stop labeling modest clothing as "frumpy" or "grandma". There are many women around the world, (even for religious purposes such as Hasidic Jews, Muslims etc.) that prefer to be more covered up. Some women, like myself, may have major scars they don't want visible. There is NOTHING wrong with being more covered up or wearing loser fitting clothing. You are not frumpy or grandma. Besides, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor were beautiful, elegant grandmas 😉.
Cos they really are frumpy and grammy. The point of wearing frumpy and grammy clothes are to NOT show off yourself. Of course you can wear abaya and still look glamorous, especially the princess style cut.

I’ve never bothered with belts. But seeing the transformation of that blue dress has convinced me.
Also, I respect that you strongly state your opinion, and don’t get worked up about people who attack you. You are very clear in each video that this is your opinion based on your training and experience. So it’s surprising to me that people feel the need to chime in and disagree.
As someone who has also been falsely accused of using fillers, I respect your calm and fact-based response.
The boat neckline is STUNNING on you, Anna!!
With the belt. Defiantly defines the silhouette.❤
Anna, please do more of these. It is very helpful!
Anna, I admit I haven’t watched your channel for some time, but I have to say you’re looking even more beautiful as time goes by. ❤
H&M saved me during my pregnancy. I love their clothes for always having big sizes
Anna you, your hair, and your makeup always look beautiful, but you’re absolutely glowing in this video! This look is gorgeous!
It's amazing how much the belt improves the dress. Great video!
what i like about anna is she is elegant but very cute...it's not boring to see her and inspire me 🥰
The blue dress, the long navy, the wrap dress and the last one were elegant looking. The rest looked so cheap for the price tag and they definitely have a problem with their sleeves.
If I may notice, Anna has sooo beautiful make up here and looks gorgeous.
Hi! Been following your channel in the early days so happy to see how much you’ve been able to help women! ❤
Thank you so much for this video Mrs. Anna 🤍🤍🤍
For a good deal of us starting out of college or on a budget trying to level up a $50- $150 dress is on the high end . That said it's nice it's know there are some cute sweater dresses at H&M ! I just wish I could feel the fabrics through the screen !
omg firstly can i just say how much i appreciate you got straight into the video instead of a really long intro 🙌
One of my favorite videos so far.
OMG! Mee too!! You can look pretty and classy!
That blue knitted dress is absolutely stunning on you!! Wow!
I laughed at the over-the-knee boots! So funny, Anna! I liked the heavier knit dresses. Thank you for your tips!
Yes yes yes!
That knitted dress
with a thicker belt! Just what I thought about fixing the situation😉
Loved your makeup and hair. Those knitted dresses are actually quite nice loved the colours - really great picks. I'm tempted to now go and have a look.
Hi Anna! More like this for summer from H&M! I love this video! Cheaper clothes that are decent, like you say, are great to pair with more expensive accessories and I feel that it blends in and you can get away with it.
I'm happy she liked the same clothes I bought a few weeks ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do I just see that in each video you look more beautiful than the one before, or are you really like that, my elegant lady, the beauty of your heart is reflected on your face? Thank you Anna for being with us.❤
this video was really helpful, please could we have more of these anna!
I love making these videos! But only if you ladies let me know you liked them and want more , otherwise I won’t Know 😊
I believe elegant ladies also know how to use their budget wisely. They would find nice items that are affordable and look classy. Your videos are very helpful!!!❤
A couple of days ago I had deleted my H&M online account because for weeks their page wasn't working right and I got always kicked out and explained everything over and over on their hotline. It turned out that they have these problems a lot recently but just don't bother to let their costumers know about it so they waist time and effort for nothing! To delete all my online connections (such as newsletter and account) seemed so reasonable after watching your video, thanks a lot Anna😘
I love it Anna! You’re educating as how to shop wisely and being elegant in all budgets!
I realized long ago the design brand is not everything, for to be true lately some of designs brand is going like no sense in the style as well the prices, it’s possible to look polish with the fast fashion brands!
Thanks for sharing, it’s inspiration and as well fun to watch ❤
Hey Anna, I bought the last dress you revealed in the video already this summer - in both colours - beige and coral.
Good to see that I made the right decision long ago before you released this video.
Thanks anyway for confirming my decision with your purchase. ❤
