Yes to shopping alone! It’s the most productive

[@lalywindland5764]

Oh, yes! People used to tell me I was wierd because I LOVE to shop alone, even my family didn't understand! But I know what I want and when and others only slow me down when shopping, plus the drama, if they want things they can't afford or can't fit in/are not their style and I had to listen to them complain for hours...no thanks! Never again!

[@elizabethanne8729]

I only like shopping alone in brick and mortar. It is so much better for me

Yes because you can make your own decisions without someone saying , no don’t buy that buy this , very stressful shipping with some people 😊

First of all, When Anna starts her video with "my dear elegant ladies" and not "hey you guys" it makes me WANT to watch the video, not like most other KZbinrs! She sits elegantly in front of the camera, with no crazy hands all over the screen. I much prefer to shop online! It's peaceful, no sales reps following you around. If I need help, I will ask kindly, but, please, leave me alone while I am shopping in-store. In the winter I wear cashmere at home, cozy and warm, but I would like to see a video on how to look elegant at home. Thank you

[@MissCraZyShoPper]

Irina Longley the only issue I have with online shopping is that you don’t have the option to try on multiple sizes or how it would pair with an outfit! Sometimes there’s too much choice online also and I get a bit bored scrolling. There’s something nice about walking around and picking out a few things that stand out to try on. I agree though, sales people can sometimes be a bit too keen to help when really you just want to browse without any pressure

[@southernbelle7295]

That’s true Anna! I don’t like shopping with other people too! My friends thought that is weird...but I thought it is liberating and more efficient!

[@TH-eb5ro]

Your words are so true. In my younger professional life I had my colors done and paid for make up, clothing consult and shopping outing. I returned 80% of the items within the week but the key items lasted years. I also have always budgeted for a tailor and changing out buttons, repairing of shoes, switching out heels, bag repair. I still have a jacket and pair of shoes from that time 20+ years ago. Although the work wardrobe went to consignment when I left that career/country I kept the habits I learned. For my 50 birthday I had my make up habits updated. Always invest in yourself and shop alone.

[@mulliganstew72]

Shop alone! That’s right.

[@olaabdelaziz2621]

The how to look expensive at home please, and how to look beautiful and glowing without makeup or with natural products that gives your skin a chance to heal. This is so so so important

[@hotjanuary]

Yogurt and honey masks. Honey and cooked oatmeal masks. And wear SUNSCREEN! Reapply. And remember sunscreen is about 97% effective. Not 100%. So wear shade. UV rays set scars and cause deep wrinkles. See dermatologist Dr Dray’s videos on skin care. She has many videos and I think they are very useful to know. For example, do not mechanically exfoliate facial skin with scrubs. A gentle washcloth is the most mechanical exfoliation your face and neck can handle. Only use fragrance free products on your face. See her videos. She goes into great detail on different ingredients.

[@walruslatte6080]

I saved money in the long run by making an appointment with an actual dermatologist and having stuff prescribed to me. Tretinoin is a god send.

Investment dressing means that you put as much thought into each item as you do the next set of diamond earrings. Lol. I purchased a red cashmere wrap coat in midi length from Karl Lagerfeld that even after 10years that looks like new and still elicits compliments each time I wear it.

[@WayToVibe]

I cannot express how much I love the fact that you kept repeating, repeating, repeating to only buy what you need, buy classic shapes, and buy as an investment to use for years to come. I probably counted this theme repeated about 10 times and it cannot be stressed enough. I was born dirt floor poor so shopping at Goodwill was where it was at for me. The first time I made an effort to mature my wardrobe I purchased a classic peacoat from Target on sale. It actually fit me (I'm petite) so despite the cost compared to Goodwill I snapped it up! 10 years later I have shed every single one of my Goodwill items and replaced them with second-hand Eddie Bauer or Niman Marcus or whatnot. Turns out even rich people donate their clothing and all of these items seem to land up at second-hand boutiques for higher-end fashions. My wardrobe had shrunk to about 10 shirts, 5 pants, 3 dresses, and assorted accessories but each and every single one of these items fits, looks great, and is my color palette. And, I still have that peacoat from Target. It's actually now the lowest-priced item in my closet despite lasting so long!

This may be an unpopular opinion, but shopping from the sale rack at H&M did me wonders! Of course I always check the material and the cut of the garment, but being plus size means I get the gems of their 'business woman line' for cheap. Again, the cut and material of the garment is very important, make sure the fabric is 'heavier' as in, its not flimsy or wrinkly.

I recently discovered I am a "Soft Autumn", and have begun purchasing items that fall in that color scheme and removing items from my wardrobe that aren't. Every day I feel absolutely beautiful with minimal effort! It's been such a game changer for me.

[@anaelle1735]

I just had a bad day and i come back to your videos as i feel like i am learning something while resting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Anna

[@kyrstynjadehokey4163]

I would adore a video on how to look expensive at home! I run two business out of my home office, and looking elegant at home is important to me. Not only for work but for my husband when he comes home from work as well. As always, great job! Your new videos are a part of my morning routine.

[@amandamagalhaes6473]

I love your videos !! I grow up so much as a person since I discover your channel, thank you Ana 💕

[@ah5721]

I cant agree more! After experimenting for 10 years trying to find my style, I now carefully chose pieces for my capsule wardrobe that flatter me and have the right style. If I don't love it I don't buy because I don't want it wasting space in my closet. H&M is horrible fast fashion and it pollutes the planet with less quality items. I found my new higher end store that had a cashmere scarves and overcoats, however it was out of my price point so I will be saving up!

[@ebby2446]

Babeee you are on a roll!! Your videos have become so comprehensive too! You look amazing hunny thanks for being our sis ❤️

[@melissag4345]

I absolutely love this video. I'm definitely on a budget but don't want to look cheap. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@maggiemconnor]

Anna - in a video I watched recently, you asked for another term for "high society", a few that came to mind are; upper echelon, distinguished / luxurious (circles/culture/company). PS You are tremendous. Keep up the great work in bringing class and elegance to all of us who aspire to be at our best as ladies! There is so much powerful strength in our feminine energy, when we truly embrace it. Thank you for being YOU!

[@anye76]

Lounging at home yes please Anna share your recommendations on that. Classic silhouettes will just be timeless. I'd save for a Burberry trench or something of that caliber. I want to own a luxury cashmere sweater 🤩

[@annakarena.alderete146]

Love this! Thanks for sharing and please make more videos like this. You’re definitely going to be in my thoughts during my next shopping trip.

[@veradesmet1880]

Always go shopping alone...i feel free and very comfortable alone. Love your video and advices. You are amazing.

[@A1dakz]

Could someone list some online shopping sites that have elegant/classy clothes? :)

[@malathisomashekaraiah6068]

Yes..samething it's in my mind ..i am from India..please suggest some good online sites where we can get classy clothes

[@successfulandhealthylifest334]

I love you Anna. Now I really understand when you say : “buying this or that is a good investment ”. When you buy a good quality outfit, you save your money by not buying trashy items that you will probably throw out very soon. Being Chic and elegant is just buying “good quality “ rather than “cheap”.

[@malinkajamiss]

absolutely love these types of videos, please do more! they're the best!

[@rachelshelton2163]

As many others have mentioned that rose color looks wonderful on you! And yes to leveling up our look at home &/or while running errands. 😁

[@alexandraAclayton]

Good evening Anna, I’m absolutely enjoying your videos. A video about looking elegant at home would be great to watch. Also how about accessories both luxury and budget? Xx

[@tanyabormann5731]

I just recently bought 3 pairs of luxury sunglasses at a bargain price (probably the 3 for the normal price of 1). I love winter sales too, specially for luxury items or things that you don't buy as often like sunglasses, bags, belts,etc. These tips are great and are becoming my mantra for this year!! Less quantity, more quality, timeless and less trendy (disposable) fashion. Not only good for ourselves, but also for the planet.

[@segolenex1113]

Knowledge about colours, good materials and solo shopping are best combination

[@littleninja71]

Thank you so much for sharing this excellent information. At 2 minutes in, your discussion about 'planning' struck a chord with me, as I do tend to assess my wardrobe by season, but then feel compelled to go out and 'impulse' purchase items that fill gaps or expand a capsule wardrobe. I see that I need to plan further ahead in order to take advantage of sales, to maximize my spend. So simple, yet I've looked right past this for several years! If the topic interests you, I would love to get your perspective on how to elevate fashion yet remain casual, for those of us who spend most of our time in casual environments. For context, I am a career professional whose work environment is now casual (denim permitted daily) and the hub in which I now work is quite casual. Elegance to the level we discuss here would be out of place unfortunately. As I am still considered a rising professional I would not want to appear to be 'trying too hard' thus casual elegance seems to be the best route. I am certain there are many women who may also be in this situation. As always, thank you for the wonderful content!

[@magyndarmstaedter7671]

I would love a " how to look elegant and comfortable at home," video. I struggle with looking classy and "sexy" to my partner, especialy in the winter months, but also being warm. Because warmth.

[@alicja4620]

YES for the elegant look at home! Please include pyjamas too 💖

[@lacayonorales1094]

such a wonderful person you are. watching and listening to your videos, make me feel like a child listening to an older relative transmitting her wisdom, so I can learn the art of living and never get lost. Thank you so much, I love your videos.

[@adelliaadel98]

Wow, i love this women. Watching your video makes me feel soooooo inspired and relaxed. Thankyou so much for sharing, love yaaa 💞

[@rhondasweet6056]

As a former alterations expert, I have a few comments on getting items tailored to get the most from your money. Pants are the hardest to fit . Hems and minor tweaks to waist and hips are doable and affordable. Get pants to fit as close as possible. Coats and blazers, shoulders seams should hit properly, sleeve hems and tweaks at the waist are doable. Welt pockets are not movable. Make sure they are placed properly for your body proportions. You can save a lot of money buying clothes that are a close fit but expect to pay for a full overhaul if you buy too big. It's like remaking the entire garment. Also be prepared to pay for knowledge. Buying designer clothes means the inside of the garment probably has many layers of support that will have to removed, modified and put back in to maintain the integrity of the garment. Hiring a hack to work on your investments will only lead to heartache and wasted money. When you level up, you can just have your clothes custom made and this won't be an issue then! 😉Love your channel, advice and your pink top!

[@Sara-vh6sq]

Thank you!!!

[@allatsarikova5180]

Rhonda Sweet I used to sew my own clothes using magazines like Burda, and I did a sewing course. Now I can fix my own and family’s clothes including wool coats, dresses, pants and skirts. Even my son’s parade military officer jackets. It all looks just amazing and saves a lot with the only investment in the machine and learning.

[@yazosoyo]

Rhonda Sweet my tailor has told me that large clothes can be adjusted, small clothes are almost impossible to adjust.

[@maroulio2067]

great advice! Decades ago I lived in Greece and had my wardrobe made to order. Those were the days! Beautiful work and I could buy excellent quality fabric and my dressmaker could make a pattern for me from any photo I showed her. Can't afford that anymore in any country.

[@mulliganstew72]

Agreed! I have trouble taking anything to the dry cleaners either because they ruin it. I don’t like to trust anybody with my quality clothing. I’m also 5 foot nine so I don’t often issues Of having to tailor things to be shorter. Luckily most clothing fits perfectly in a size large on top and 8/10 bottom. ..But I often wonder if the KZbinrs who are advising have things tailored are petite women who definitely need it or…?

[@Seebzters]

Ive been purging my closet and only keeping high quality items. I should have listened to my grandma when she advised me about good quality fabrics! Saved 2 garments ✅

[@florencef4416]

What a great tip to buy end of season in winter, and also to buy bigger and let it tailor! I implemented this immediatley and found a wonderful trenchcoat ❤

[@vivienhallberg200]

Great advice; I'm old enough to know all these things but it's good to remind/tell everyone. I do enjoy your videos and a very Happy Christmas to you and yours.

[@SlayNetwork]

True facts.... Slay certified!

[@veronicam3212]

I want to know what to wear at home. I almost bought a few items today but I'm too unsure how I can combine elegence and comfort. So a video on this would be great!

[@Tori-pv8ob]

At first I felt attacked by your videos in the beginning, but then your intelligence and logic has also grown on me as I started watching more and more of your videos. Sure we may not agree on certain beliefs, but for fashion we are on the same page. You have helped me elevate my look and I have actually got so many compliments from plain Janes and affluent women. Thank you so much 😊
