On the underground train a woman sat opposite me and I couldn’t help being irritated by her severely dirty shoes, completely worn out. A few years ago in summer I saw a woman sitting opposite me with flip flops 🩴 with her toe nails plain and dirty. I was so embarrassed when some guys boarded the train and sat opposite her

[@drstellamaguwudzemd9115]

And an untidy house

[@Munabash]

@@lmusima3275 you do understand that some people cannot afford better shoes, right?

I found your channel a few days ago and subscribed. I am a 67 year old white woman and have learned so much from your videos in the last few days. I'm going to work on so many of your suggestions in the coming year. Not to attract a new mate but to feel good about myself. Thank you so much for all your points. I intend to be my best self in the new year!

May I add one in addition to #14? Overwhelming laundry scents &/or perfumes ~ when I can walk in our shop and say, "So & so must have been here" because he/she wears so much fragrance.

[@fragrancedeparadiso443]

To be elegant and have a sense of humour- what a cool combination.. The worn out shoes, untidy nails, penguin walk? Ur sense of humour is superb 😄 🤣

[@japayaa5285]

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

Great video, I would add to the wrinkled clothing point that cotton & linen are still elegant despite getting wrinkled easily. Most people who know the material expect a bit of wrinkles upon wearing them. Just iron these types of materials before going out. In warmer months/climates, Linen is super elegant and a bit of wrinkling is expected and that's ok.

[@Magpieme98]

Completely agree. Linen is very elegant for summer and keeps me cool as well. 🌺

[@ugochris-aluta8294]

In hot climates, cotton and other fabrics that 'breathe' are your best friends. Silk, wool, polyesters and so on tend to smell when you've been out in the sun for a bit.

[@costalclassics5423]

Unfortunately as I became older, over pronation of my feet resulted in needing serious orthopedics that need tie shoes. Even with this standing and walking are reduced. As a woman with so many pairs of beautiful shoes and dresses that has always cherished my femininity and being well groomed this condition has greatly reduced my wardrobe to what can be worn with black orthopedics looking shoes. Although I feel these other aspects of appearance are on point, it is very humbling to not be able to express my femininity fully. Yes, as Vivian stated people definitely notice my shoes ( I always keep them polished) but I just try to be thankful I can walk.

[@catherineanderson4755]

I hear you, I have so many health issues that have bed-ridden me, and prevent me from being the well dressed, glam woman I once was. I also do the best I possibly can. Pretty nightgowns and robes help. ❤

[@BeBeautifullyYou]

I can relate.

[@IEVAKambarovaite]

I don't really come from a particularly wealthy family, to say the least.. But one thing my mum would never allow me is to buy cheap shoes. Cheap footwear end up costing more in the long run, they ruin your feet and your outfit. Look after your shoes by cleaning them, storing them appropriately when they're off the season and you can wear them for years and years to come. Love your videos and so inspired by you to work on my own channel 💕

[@celeste4lyfe560]

I would appreciate it so much of you did a video on elegant clothing brands that are somewhat affordable (and hopefully plus size friendly) Like the Teddy Blake Bag you recommend was affordable but still a level up. I love your videos 🤩

[@molelekoaseroto1881]

I agree with you more

[@anniemo9225]

That would be lovely to see!

[@CharlotteReneeLocs]

Yeeeeeees

[@shaniquafaith]

Yesss

[@catcoffee7958]

Brands are not important what matters most is FIT and FABRIC,,,,it should fit beautifully no pulling no tension the cut flatters your body shape(no two women are the same body even if they are the same size),heavier fabric with excellent quality can be found in any brand but you need to train your fingers to feel the weight how it drapes on you ,,this flimsy fabrics are elegant women worst enemy,,,,,and ladies the linening of a dress or trousers can say allot and improves the dress fitting and comfort ,,,finally Hobbs brand are excellent with fabrics they go up to 18in size (most times they are on the big side),,good luck❤️

[@foxylady6901]

I'm a flamboyant natural (kibbe body typing system) so snug clothing does not look elegant on me. Looser fitting clothes look best on my body. I agree that knowing your body when it comes to dressing it is most important and also not worrying about what looks good on another woman.

[@ninawestlake14]

Like i always say : Grooming surpassess fashion. Grooming survives without fashion,but fashion alone looks blah when personal care is absent.

Could you make a video on how to stay elegant while working? Summer jobs seems to suck the elegance right out of me 😓

[@IEVAKambarovaite]

I think work can often make us feel exhausted. But I think it's all about the intention and the energy you bring to it. Remind yourself that your work is making a difference in someone's day and that what you is valuable and show up with good intentions. I think that makes a difference 💕

You’re cracking me up. 😂 I’m new to wig wearing and am worried about it smelling. 😂 I went out to dinner, and the smell of the restaurant was in my beautiful, human hair wig. I had just washed it and didn’t want to wash it again and ruin the hair. Yes, I’m worried about drying it out and heat damage. I use overnight rollers or leave it straight. I didn’t wear it again for weeks and let it air out. I wanted to put it outside, but was concerned about the sun ruining the color and birds pooping on it. 😅 I’m sorry, but this whole video made me giggle in a good way. I love your content. Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤

High value content as usual! I thank you for this quality and I have taken notes.

[@roselychee9644]

Tips for Body Odour: ~ Taking chlorophyll drops with water is like a natural perfume and deodorant. It's very good for the rest of your body as well. ~ Invest in sweat-guards which you can stick to the underarm areas of your clothes. These absorb sweat and prevent your clothes from being stained. ~ Ladies, remove hair from your underarms. I know it's very trendy for people to say shaving these parts is "mysogynistic" but in all honesty, not removing hair there will make it easier for an unpleasant smell to stick around! By keeping the hair, you'll have to do twice the work to prevent smelling and nobody wants that. ~ Sometimes the smell isn't necessarily from your underarms but can come from other areas such as the feet. If your feet are often smelly then be sure to get a doctor to check if you have a fungal infection there. If you do, they can give you treatments to cure you of it and remove the odour. ~ Incorporate fruits like pinapples, oranges, lemons, cranberries and apples regularly in your diet. Over time these give you a naturally sweet and fresh smell.

[@mightychondria3552]

This is one of my fav channel. She’s so beautiful, nice and ladylike. Delightful to watch.

[@Magpieme98]

Vivienne, thanks for sharing these excellent points! Suggestion for fellow viewers: instead of eyelash extensions, try an eyelash serum. Extensions need regular maintenance and damage natural lashes. A serum strengthens and enhances natural lashes and looks much better in my opinion. Hugs from Mary in Florida 🌺

[@oyine1]

What lash serum do you use, I’ve heard that some lash serum cause dark circles around the eyes and when you stop using them your new lash growth falls off

[@Magpieme98]

@@oyine1 I use Rodan & Fields lash boost. It’s pricey, but it works! I haven’t had any issues at all and I’ve been using it over a year. You are correct….you do have to keep using it, though.

[@d.v.stuyvesant6944]

I highly recommend GrandeLash & GradeBrow. My ends of my brows were seriously thinned out and my lashes were thin and wispy. These products fixed both problems.

Keep it simple. Don't try to do too much. Wake up, groom yourself and wear comfy classy clothes that are elegant but still make breastfeeding a breeze. Once baby is sleeping, take care of yourself. Put on gloss or lipstick if that's your vibe even if you won't wear makeup. Focus on your skincare during this time. Brush your hair, lol, and style it in a simple ponytail or other easy style
