How to LEVEL UP with NO MONEY | You CAN be Elegant with Little Finances!

There is a common misconception that to be an Elegant Lady who presents herself with class requires a substantial amount of finances- and it's easy to see why. Social media has made everything look glittery and gilded and often unattainable. However, the fundamental qualities that truly make one elegant do not require money!
I have compiled a list of 13 things that can help you level up, even if you are impecunious. These are the things that will truly make you a Woman Of Elegance.

Ever since I became a Christian, the Word of God has been my guide to not only to know Him and how to please Him, but also a guide for refinement. These are all characteristics of a godly virtuous woman.

[@DominiqueFrancon]

This video reminds me of my mother (she passed in 2016 at the age of 88). My mother was a child of the Great Depression in the United States. Despite her very humble upbringing, my mother was always beautifully presentable. Everyday, she would put on make-up, style her hair and put on nice clothes. She may not have had any designer labels but her clothes were always neat, clean, and pressed. She had a signature look with a headband and flower in her short hair. Every time we went out in public, people would come up to her and tell her how beautiful she was. She was a very classy lady. When I would visit her apartment building, and someone found out that I was Donna‘s daughter, they would tell me what a class act my mother was. You are absolutely right, Vivienne, you don’t need money to be elegant and classy. My mother was a perfect example.

[@DominiqueFrancon]

@@princessirulancorrino4695 thank you for your beautiful reply. You described my mom beautifully. My mom had a kind and gentle spirit that gave her a beautiful glow and countenance. I truly believe that is what drew people to her. She was adorable, yes, but her spirit shined through her lovely face and people responded to that.

My mother was an elegant woman. She always looked her best. Never went to the nail salon, never had her hair styled professionally, or had a professional facial or mask. She did these things herself at home. She didn't have designer clothes but her taste in clothes and accessories was impeccable. Also, her speech and character were the best.

[@joysilas4724]

I started my “level up” journey immediately. First, I got my hair in a style that was easy for me to handle. And I have a weekly routine for my hair. Then I went to the thrift store and found used garments to wear to look presentable until I can lose the extra twenty lbs I am working to get off. You can start anywhere. We only have one income and I just shop frugally.

My grandmother was an elegant woman of very modest means. Someone once referred to her as a "poor old woman". That was the wrong thing to say! She pulled herself up to her full height, looked them in the eye and corrected them by stating "I am NOT a poor old woman. I might be mature and financially embarrassed but I will always be a lady. And it would be in your best interest to remember that." Her example changed my life.

[@ritahnyangoma285]

Confidence always plays it

[@graceliamoore883]

I’m a widow and I met a widower because he mentioned he had been watching me because I carried myself different from the other women at the senior center where I attend. He said, “ you come in do your activities then you would leave and not hang around gossiping”. He liked that about me. I’ve always been a nice conservative dresser, wise with money and health conscious. They say I don’t look my age. Line dancing is one of my passions along with working with justice organizations. I like to read and I have an eye for decorating. I treat people like I would like to be treated. I relate to a lot of the things you mentioned and have taught my daughters to be ladies. I aspire to become better. Thank you.

It often feels so hard to be elegant while being working class. My hands are rough and my back hurts but finding this channel makes me feel hopeful for the future. Especially as I work to get out of this dead-end job and focus more on my education.

[@ceciliacruz7804]

Hello Belladonna, I have the same problem with my hands specially in winter. This is what I do: twice a week when I wash my hands I put a little bit of sugar to make a scrub, but be gently and only rub your hands for a minute or two. After that use a good lotion. Also you can visit a quiropractic at least twice a year 😉

[@artiscrutial]

I know what you mean. What I use to do when I felt unladylike with my profession was to make sure I dress well and pamper myself at least on the weekends or when I'm off. I also use church to dress up and feel more feminine. I have a habit of acting manly but im trying to get out of that.

I totally agree, because before I got married I was soft, very kind, loved and enjoyed wearing dresses but as I was with a toxic partner those traits were forgotten. I had to toughen up to protect myself and lost myself in the process. It’s not only about wearing a dress or heels but I was a free spirited and and laid back. My advice just be who you are and we are all beautiful, find your self and be comfortable❤

[@baldnproud]

It’s refreshing to hear a young lady, talk about refining oneself at a low cost or no money at all, too many people focus on material things, and brand names too and many extravagant things that they cannot afford and a lot of times the person that’s talking about cannot afford it themselves, and they do not practice what they preach , this is why I say this is refreshing to hear . Beautiful video.

[@Healinghonies]

“Self control in the face of provocation, is the litmus test for refinement” what a brilliant quote!

[@ThePinkpetals]

My darling, you are the epitome of the "Virtuous Woman" of Proverb 31:10-31! I applaud you for unselfishly inviting us to share in this lovely journey of Leveling Up! As a young girl, I had always been teased for my "Proper Speaking", having had a Military father-- that made my sisters and I learn three new words out of the dictionary every day-- we also had to tell him what the words meant, how to spell them, and put them in a sentence, along with pronouncing them correctly! However, after perusing several of your videos-- I am appreciative for that discipline from my father, because he understood the value that enlightenment would mean to our lives as we grew into adulthood. I am an avid reader and I love doing research. My greatest passion includes helping others to learn how to read, to speak and spell better. So, when children ask me how to spell a word-- I excitedly say; "let's look it up in the dictionary"! And that enthusiasm rubs off on them😄

[@worldwideinspiration.6842]

[@VintageNailArt]

Beauty fact from an aesthetician: consistency is key! You can save the expensive and aggressive treatments for when you have big events coming up (not less than a month before ladies!)but a good daily practice will be the key to looking your best 24/7. *Wear less make up. *A good quality daily cleanser will be an investment you won’t regret. You really need a very small amount (pea to dime size) and any excess just dries your skin. Use it at night (and after sweating like the gym or the beach). You can find good ones for $10-$50USD that will last 4-6 months easily. *wear sunscreen daily. Even in winter. Even if you’ll be inside an office all day. WEAR IT.

[@rosiebottom3870]

I do my own nails. I keep them short with clear varnish. I check them every day and rub in a heavy balm around the cuticle daily. I hate chipped varnish so using a cheap clear varnish works for me. I do my own keratin blow out every 3 months (costs £150 in the salon, DIY costs £15). I clean my face with olive oil, moisturise with Nivea, vaseline as a night cream. I'm 59 but look younger because of my routine.

[@nakiazagorski5361]

I just found you, Vivienne, and I love you!!! I love that you are focusing the fact that elegance and class is attainable without money. I have a wardrobe that looks like a million dollars, and all of which came from my local goodwill. I bought only the things of high caliber quality! And the most impressive is beautiful diction and broadened vocabulary. This is lacking in the world today where vulgarity is the norm and even sadly comes out of young children.

[@bernardmartinez1275]

Totally true!! "Luxury is a matter of money. Elegance is a matter of education."

[@Meesha-Gay]

Thank you so much. This talk is like a breath of fresh air in a smoky room. Elegance can be achieved and maintained with a low budget and starts in the mind. I find listening to classical music or instrumental classics very calming and peaceful and allows me to focus my thoughts and make better decisions. Also being from a community of loud and vulgar persons doesn't mean that something is wrong with me for wanting to be elegant and sophisticated doing things that improves my posture, speech and lifestyle décor even if it isn't common within my environment right, now its a mindset and an achievable quality. I believe every woman should strive to be elegant simply because we were made to function efficiently this way and it does add structure, beauty and a complimentary dimension of value to our feminine roles.

[@theangel5416]

Absolutely love this video. You radiate Elegance Vivian ❤ I'd like to make a suggestion /warning to all ladies who want to broadly educate them self. Please be cautious to not fall into the Trap of "poverty education only" almost everyone I went to college with....yes even the individuals that now have master's degrees, ninety-nine percent of what they studied in school in all areas of study was related to Poverty problems / crime in other parts of the world and how "horrible life is" only. They were not taught to seek Solutions, they were not taught to think positively, and none of them even volunteer/donate or do anything to resolve the problems that they are freaking out all the time about. They are angry, judgmental, jealous, and absolutely hate anyone who even appears to have money. The default assumption is "if you are doing well you trampled on someone else to have that." This is the new mark of being educated /civilized to many people. And it's NOT being educated. Learn valuable life skills, be a good person, make yourself happy, do not listen to people who want to "educate you" on "Why you should be in fear all the time."

[@JeanClaudeCOCO]

Lot of times people think having the degrees means you’re above others. Those degrees in a specific subject won’t mask the requirements you need in life to live a meaningful, well rounded life of what Vivian describes in the video. I’ve met so many doctors and lawyers who are far far from refined and won’t be able to comport themselves in simple tasks. These are life skills which needs to be taught from a young age.

[@ConstantCompanion]

Personally, I think elegance is better done on a shoestring budget. When I was first learning (still learning), I was losing weight, and had a supervisor at work that would watch me like a hawk. She grew up in LA Jolla..and spent a lot of money on her clothes..nails..hair..everything. I couldn't afford a fraction of what she spent on..anything. With my size changing so quickly, I spent my lunch hours at Thrift stores trying to keep up with my shrinkage. She would just kind of..stare. One day she blustered and ordered me into her office..said..I can't stand it. Where do you get your gorgeous clothes?? I have nothing like any of the things you have! Where are you shopping??? I knew she was going to smirk..but I told her anyway. Her jaw dropped. After that, she started teaching me some of her secrets. I've discovered since that if you really try..do your best, others will come along and share what they know. If you're not trying? They won't waste their to me once you. Since the new I've discovered thrift shops that specialized label brands..and tricks on how to get a good deal on shoes..things like that. I really do think elegance is at its best on a shoestring.

Hi Viv, you are on point. We can do more, with less. We ladies we go out of our way and stressing ourselves unnessary, because we want to be like someone. Be yourself and stress less. Thanks Viv, this is so inspiring. 👏💕

I have purchased your books and am working through the videos. Elegance has always been something i have veered towards in my life. Thankfully I have already been implementing some things you have mentioned. I follow another elegance coach and am so blessed to have you both on my journey. Thank you xx

4:50 To add, if you sign up for newsletters at smaller galleries and museums you may be able to attend free or low cost opening receptions of artists and/or exhibits. Open receptions are usually the beginning of an artists work being featured at the space, and usually draw the attention of fellow artists, curators, buyers, critics, journalists and enthusiasts. It is a great opportunity to network, especially since usually the artist/curator themself attends the event. Second, for some receptions they also have refreshments, usually light bites or drinks. If you want to go the no spend route you can have a heavy dinner at home and then eat/drink in moderation at the event. Third, going to such an event is also a great opportunity to be ‘seen’ in an elevated environment, you can snap photos of the work or yourself to add to social media or profiles to convey the lifestyle you’re working towards.

Elegance is using what I have, making the most of it. Being the best version of myself and giving myself to other people.

Love this video. The best tip was number 8: Feed your mind with lovely things and pay attention to what you watch on t.v. and listen to on the radio.

[@nilag6774]

Looking elegant is good but it comes from within...and though it's a good thing to learn and better yourself... It's also empowering to feeling and looking how you want to be .
