" my dear elegant ladies" is my favourite sentence these days haha I'm glad you made this video. There are so many people confused about your content and misinterpret your message

[@minagica]

People have a tendency to misinterpret things because they don't pay attention to the relevant details and thus file things in buckets they don't belong in. Anna could talk her face off and there would still be people misunderstanding her, because communication is a two-way street regardless of what lazy people like to pretend when trying to blame others for their own shortcomings

What I did is I kept the beautiful side of my personality, but I rounded it off with being softer, being kinder, less or no swearing, eating healthier, exercising, taking care of my hair, skin and nails, dress more modest and more expensive good quality clothes, remembering less is more, less makeup and jewelry, studying hard, working hard, sleeping early to be able to wake up earlier and start my day right, having amazing posture 😊 but its all still ME..

The truth is... if you’re drawn to this channel, you’re probably above average in terms of elegance. All the tips you give us are probably intuitive to most of us but you say it with so much grace and elegance that it motivates us to be more mindful of the little details that make us classy.

Can you talk about how to reduce aggression and be softer and more feminine in situations that require strong action?

[@donnaleveron5711]

Think assertive versus aggressive.

[@LaLabutterfly]

Pause, think and ground yourself. In addition, people who’re often trying to rattle you don’t know what to do when you don’t give them “ammo” or are looking for a reaction. Think Miranda (from The Devil wears Prada). Edit: Being assertive is something you learn as a child ie your parents teaching you about boundaries and you being allowed the space to express yourself and discovering your own boundaries. Being unnecessarily aggressive is just another form of a deep seated insecurity and the inability to express yourself outside of anger.

[@em4672]

I would also love to see a video on this. I think its an area where everyone could be doing a little bit better.

[@jasminevaliente96]

[@tinachristine4573]

Good advice from all the comments. Mine has always been simpler. 'You do not have to show up for every fight you are invited to'. Genuinely ask yourself if some behaviours are worth reacting to. In the heat of the moment, it's easy to think that it needs 'strong action' when actually walking away is exactly the right response

My late grandmother was also an elegant lady. I love wearing broche because of her because i am trying to imitate her look. During her 60's she would still wore 5-7 centimeter high heels.

But when she got a bit older and couldn't walk in heels she shut herself inside the house and never came out again... She doesn't want the world to see her in any less of a way. My grandpa's death also made her close into herself even more. I'm still trying to find ways to get her out of the house..

I’ve been seeing so many comments like “I don’t want a rich man but I love your videos”, and those people are sweet, but they’re failing to realize Anna’s channel was never about just bagging a rich man.

I got employed by a high end department store when I was 16 and after university I got employed as a teacher in a wealthy private school. I’ve always been inspired by elegance, have followed sophistication and have also worked very hard which is probably why I ended up in these places. I’m not married to a rich man because I wasn’t interested in rich men when I was dating - I actually refused to date them - but my husband is well educated and articulate which is all I’ve ever wanted in a man. His good looks are a bonus. I came from a lower socioeconomic background where my wonderful father couldn’t work due to chronic illness and my mother did what she could to make ends meet. My parents taught me to think laterally and to follow people who were more skilled and respectable rather than follow the herd and be mediocre. I think your videos are invaluable parenting tools for bringing up girls. I don’t have a daughter but I want my son to be a dignified man who will hopefully marry an elegant lady one day.

I thought she did a rendition of A Day In My Life vid. Scour her recent videos. In one, she showed her going to workout, working on laptop,weekend spa massages w/ partner, weekend dinner. I think as long as we’re not requesting intrusion into her private life (lunch w/ friends, or seeing a house tour, etc) that’d be ok. Anna has to walk a fine line between keeping her personal life personal and divulging her background, friends, etc via Q& A videos.

I’ve always enjoyed books and movies about princesses, high court, and aristocracy in general. It’s an interesting culture/history, especially as an American... particularly a Black American- the contrast is fascinating! I’m also curious about the progression and evolution of this demographic in modern times. Where did these people go? I’ve learned that many are hiding in plain sight, and have quite broad associations! Growing up in Florida, and having lived in NYC, with career experience in the hospitality industry, I’ve had the opportunity to observe affluent individuals and families in both casual and formal settings when they are “on” socializing with networking intentions. I can typically tell the difference between someone who is pretending, and someone who genuinely has class. For this reason, it is appealing to me as a young low-income individual from a lower middle-class family, to learn and apply the nuanced behavior that elevates ones persona. Just because I don’t come from these circles doesn’t mean I don’t aspire to enter them one day. Also, just because I came from a modest background doesn’t mean I have to settle there. I think, any woman would be wise to continue elevating her financial status, education, and networking circles- not only for personal benefit, but also for the security of her future! Being upwardly mobile requires a curated skillset I am all too happy to obtain. These videos offer valuable concepts to consider, and a discreet way to discuss topics that might otherwise be taboo in a social setting.

[@CharleyCharlay]

Well said. Can you tell me a few books or movies you have found helpful

[@Anna-fw7lm]

I like your concept except for one thing: a 'low' setting doesn't mean low individuals. Living a life in the modesty of a 'low level' it's perfectly good if you have dignity and pride. It's you way of living that put value in you, not how or where you live. I can find gems of people withing poor families and scums within high society. And, from my experience only, high society people know more of what life is but less of who they are, they're interesting and funny when they talk about what they've done or teach you about what they're interested in, but boring when they have to talk just about themselves, because they don't usually know their bare self. I think it's a win win situation if one is able to take the best from the base of the pyramid as from the top of it. I personally value a lot when someone is low class and choose to live a good life in it, without big dreams beside the one to be a better person for himself and his family. For me it's reassuring to have friends like them, they do not want anything, they do not take, only give, and the most precious thing they give you are lessons. :)

I went to Finishing School a few decades ago and the goal was to be a good wife, a good hostess, in short everything revolved around getting married and managing the household. When I first saw the School of Affluence I was very curios to see how are you teaching, for example, how to step out of a car?, how to sit?, etc. because that was my experience. Dear Anna I congratulate you for spearheading this transformation you have added contemporary skills and reaching women who otherwise would not have the opportunity to learn this kind of advice. To me being elegant is like knowing several languages, it is knowing how to behave in different scenarios. Today we need skills like networking, how to make a good impression on a business meeting. You offer tools for personal improvement if one wants to use your advice to look for a husband, good. If one wants to be a power house your advice is also on point. I would like to see videos about networking and how to define your personal style. BTW I love your videos. Congratulations!!

Elegance lies not in the clothes we wear, but in the way we wear them. It isn’t in the way we wield a sword, but in the dialogue we hold that could avoid a war. Elegance is achieved when, having discarded all superfluous things, we discover simplicity and concentration; the simpler the pose, the better; the more sober, the more beautiful. Paulo Coelho

Exactly, you giving us a base line/foundation that we have to add our own personality.

[@susanthroop7041]

Thank you. Where we are with all the "sexy" emphasis in society, elegance is a necessity. Many don't understand it, because elegance has been far removed over the last decades. So, as the pendulum swings back to it, the understanding of it may take some time. I agree that elegance is a mind set and is exemplified in not so much what we do but how we think. Realizing that "sexiness" is boring and mainstream. Also elegance is exemplified in the "classic women." I used to do color and personality analysis and we discussed 4 fashion types: Natural, classic, dramatic and gamine. I went to a grooming school long ago and we discussed more options. So, elegance can also be exemplified with fashion personality type. The dramatic would have a tendency towards "boho" and excess. So this person would need a way to express their personality while remaining elegant. The same with the other personality types. I say continue with elegance and some of the misunderstanding with iron out as our society begins to understand it more.

[@mimismegalife4976]

I would love to hear from you about widows who are starting over in life

[@MetaMM]

I should make that video myself. Sorry to hear that as I too am a widow of 5 years now.

Isn't bad etiquette to start dating months after your spouse passes away?

[@ACTOYZ]

Summer Rose 🌷 they didn’t say months after?

[@shachede6828]

Sorry for your loss! I hope you start over and find plenty happiness!

[@catonamushroom1019]

It isn't for another to judge you. They don't know what you have experienced, and could have endured because of your situation. Be true to yourself and authentic, of course taking into account the needs and feelings of any children, and extended family. They may need communication around your decisions.

[@user-yb5fq3cl4j]

LOVING this hairstyle on you Anna! Really enhances your gorgeous cheekbones.🌸

[@karyannfontaine8757]

A very nice conversation. I always look forward to your posts. A chat now and then would be lovely. Elegance is to remain you while you improve your manner of speaking, becoming well read and to be dressed in appropriate attire for the occasion. To be polite and on time is an asset to becoming elegant.

[@EmilysLife]

I'm so grateful you just share your wisdom in general. It's highly appreciated

[@hbjkonenservanjion4595]

Yess more videos and please can u talk more about teenagers and their stuff?❤️❤️🥰

[@beckyobrien9897]

I would love a video about teenage fashion and how to look classy as a teenager thank you 🙏

[@spinderjeetkour5814]

Yesssss💯💯💯💯

[@denisez2307]

Hi Anna, I started watching your videos two days ago and have stayed awake almost all night to learn, learn, learn from them. I think you’re so amazing, thank you for sharing all your knowledge, it is very helpful. Personally I would love to see more teacher-style videos, because you show examples that I can apply to my daily life or shop similar type of elegant clothes that you talk about. Excited for the next video!

[@Nanybulldog22]

I loved this video! Refinement is about getting rid of bad habits 💕. I find that your humbleness makes you shine. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@amychen2504]

I agree on the raising elegant children topic and then also more on overcoming depression/frustration with current life circumstances that aren't about how to necessarily obtain a relationship. I'm married and have a child but am trying to level up.

[@marshalynn1455]

School Of Affluence, I hit the like button before I even watched the video. Thank you for posting and thank you for your excellent tips and advice you give on how to be elegant.

[@tiffanyt7121]

You’re so radiant, I just love that you share your message for those of us hungry for it. 💜 And I get what you are saying, be our best most elegant self by leveling up. I hear you💜

[@kaylabryson1932]

Couldn’t agree more! Love that you are promoting more self respect, having class and consideration. Elegance = strength.

[@tneal1670]

Heard on another KZbinr's channel recently: "Never give up your authenticity for approval."

[@sdburr08]

I'm sorry for the crap you've gotten for being misunderstood. I absolutely love your channel. I was raised in a little backwater po-dunk town in Texas and these are not principles that were ever taught there and now in my older years, I want to do better for myself and, most importantly, so I can raise children that are classy and elegant because I know how it will benefit them. There are always going to be people who hate just to hate but just know you are helping people better their lives and that is a noble calling. I appreciate you and your channel. ❤️❤️❤️

[@MaggieKleppe]

I love that! I must admit I had also started thinking that this elegant model was unattainable, due to my personality. Not that I am aspiring to becoming part of high-society, but I have always liked the thought of becoming more refined and presenting myself better. You are explaining it very well, thank you, Ana!

[@kellyustalli6109]

We know that everything you teach us is something that we love to learn so other people can simply open something else on KZbin. Much love darling💚

[@Angie-de7tk]

I have never clicked faster in my life

[@jesuisannesophierb749]

Me too 😁

[@rivkaruthgolan]

The word "classy". Let's find another word.

[@katherinemargeson8082]

Hello, Ana! I’d love to see more videos on mixing in elegant pieces with what you already have. PS, I love your top!

[@BH-he3wg]

This video really shows everyone how smart, humble, and kind you are!! Thank you for all that you do, Anna!

[@janah7416]

I personally loved your life streams on IG, direct questions, direct answers, spontaneous content... It would be lovely to integrate it with educational videos that I adore so much! All the best Anna, I am so grateful for your channel! 💕❤️💕❤️

[@heart12361]

I love your casual chit-chat videos. Do more, please!

[@nancyprivate6774]

I am older and already married but really enjoy your elegance talks - it is what is missing in the young women today - and elegance can be empowering - just like self respect - when I see young women dressing like hoes and cursing I know that men AND women do not respect them

[@aristeasalti2392]

I like you Anna.thanks for your advices.i ll have it in my mind and attitude as well.😍Androniki

[@nicoleelle7265]

Anna, I loved this video and it gave me a clearer look at you on a personal level. I used to think of you as someone who's strict or someone who'd say "you should be like this or like that" but that wasn't really the point you were trying to convey. I understood that people are different and I struggle being a perfectionist which isn't a good thing since it leads to frustration if perfectionism wasn't met. When I heard you say being picture perfect (not literally in pictures but also in our behavior) isn't really how we should be, my eyes were opened and people wouldn't want somebody who's manufactured. People want us to be ourselves like what you have always told us, your viewers. You're true to your words and slowly, I will learn from my mistakes and maybe become as elegant, real, and confident as you are.

[@foxtanii9056]

Another wonderful and open minded video. This is why I love watching and listening you even though I'm not out there to belong to the elite. Thank you Anna

[@user-ty8xn1mv3r]

I would love a video that is related to anything that has to do with us teenage girls, becoming elegant ladies. I am aware of your video that was just for teenage girls but I would appreciate another one. Love your videos Anna❤️

[@Briae]

I actually saw the daily mail article about you on my snapchat feed. However unlike the other articles, the snapchat excerpt was very kind.

[@poppagolightly1548]

I feel like I need this so much which is why I subscribed I love how you speak and it’s so important to be lady like no matter what situation you are in. I love how you inspire me to be a better me.

[@christinaferreira8594]

I love it when you do these personal videos! The teaching style videos are great and necessary but I think these end up being my favorites!

[@feliciabrown6983]

I love all your videos.. you are great I’m learning a lot!

[@lindadthompson8120]

Very young 72 here, my mother and grandmother shared many of the same philosophies so refreshing to see poise and grace coming back .

[@mariferprincesita]

Yes! More personal videos please. I can't wait to join your online program! Investing on yourself it's the best investment :)

[@BurtonGuster21]

I’m really happy that you made this video. I started to question myself if I could even meet the requirements. I enjoy being elegant but sometimes I feel that I have tattoos that I will never be able to appear elegant.

[@katerinan8352]

this video really inspired me to think what is my take on the definition of the word "elegant"........so thank you for that. To me it is a lot about body language, being "healthy" confident (but more importantly being "at home" in you confident self)....so many people try to look confident but it just ends up looking very unnatural and awkward.... So my take is ..... learn how to look like that(of course you need to learn more than being confident) and than "fake it till you make it" .....one beatiful day you wake up and realise that this is your normal..... Thank you for this insight , this is truly inspiring.

[@MayaForJesus]

Much love much support dear 💕🌹💕🌹and yeah I've liked today's topic so much I'm keen on the way u talked today 💞and yah absolutely darling keep making such lovely videos Edit: after the video : even now I'm new to high society community I kept my style ..chick elegant but it says i still strong lady who wears many suits I ve never looked what every one else is doing and follow the rules ...I follow what suits and what's right 👌🏻 also never looked for a man or another person ...I 'm just looking what I can achieve to be proud of my success👌🏻🌹

[@jennielove385]

I love your sit and talk videos,I'm literally obsessed with you ❤❤❤

[@MsMusikaddicted]

You sound so honest and vulnerable about who you really are and I appreciate that :)

[@crimson2991]

Your message is beautiful and so rare these days, thank you so much 💕 becoming an elegant lady with class and dignity is so empowering and uplifting.

[@jromeo8247]

You are an elegant woman in which is poised and deliberate. I think all your videos are with purpose to empower women.

[@patriciajones111]

I love your videos. I’m so glad I found you. I am prepping to attend a wedding next year. The bride and groom know very wealthy influential people and I’d love to make a good impression. Could you advise on what to wear and also some table etiquette. Thank you 🙏

[@staceyjohnson4030]

I just want to say, thank you. Your videos teach me so much. I’m 38 & I was never taught how an elegant lady should carry herself. I naturally have always had an elegant nature but still was lacking in that category. I really appreciate your channel!! I needed this

[@jessicaconner8894]

Any video with you is such a treasure! I love being able to listen to your thoughts, with your teacher hat on or not, these videos are so great!

[@bbabybaby143]

How do we stick up for ourselves and set boundaries in an elegant way?

[@habalaha1872]

Could you maybe do a video on what to wear at home if you wanna still look beautiful and elegant?😊

[@Chefstress]

So grateful for your videos! I never had a mother to teach me these things!!
