Love the video!! but I would love to know which brand is that strapless bra!! 🙏🏻
Love your videos but , the word “cheap” makes my skin crawl. Try “less expensive “ sounds more refined.
Thank you for another great video Anna! I bought a boatneck top a couple of weeks ago so of course your first tip was my favourite 😉! I wonder if you have any suggestions for sandals for women who choose not to show their toes? I have been searching online all morning today and eventually gave up because I could not find much that was not a full shoe or high-heel wedge - I try to avoid wedge shoes because they feel so heavy and clunky on my feet. Grateful for any tips on that. Thank you 🥰
Thanks to you for Being a Wonderful coach ♥️😊♥️😊🙏
@@Luckycristin not sure where you are from but in the USA try Wacoal for large bust...Maidenform for smaller sizes
"Elegance during college years" is a much needed topic to discuss. I'd appreciate a video on that topic dear Anna. Thank you for your efforts
Yes! I’m starting college this year and I’d love to get ideas about classy clothes that also won’t be too revealing haha. :)
I like the ‘light academia’ look for college :) It’s also economical to buy these pieces that can be worn after college too!
I second this!!! I’m transferring to university this fall!!
Honestly, I think you should allow yourself to go through a not-so-elegant phase. Even Anna did.
Dark denim, blazers, silk camis and button downs, cashmere for winter, casual slacks and Briton stripe boatnecks... And no sneakers outside of the gym!
I swear, Anna doesn’t get enough credit for her wit and humour! I don’t understand why there’s an idea that elegant ladies are boring or stiff. Anna is a queen 🥰
That's one of the main reasons why I watch her. In many aspects i have very different goals than she has, but I like the spirit behind what she says and I really think she's genuinely friendly and funny.
I would love to see a revived interest in feminine clothing and in elegance in general. I'm an older woman, and I missed out on so many years of confidence and having a better body image because I had notions that such clothing was always expensive, and that much of the etiquette was stiff and uncomfortable and 'just not me'. I know it isn't for everyone, but I got that boost in confidence and happiness as soon as I started making changes a few years ago. And Anna's advice really helps!
Right??? Her bubbly personality is catching for sure 😍😍😍
I've been thinking that. I thought you couldn't have a playful personality if you're elegant but she's surprised me.
She's just the only one
Anna is actually one of the funniest female influencers, and not because she is doing ridiculous things. She uses our human flaws to perpetuate change in a way that has us laughing at ourselves instead of disliking ourselves. It’s heartwarming! So when I say she is funny, I mean she utilizes the human experiences, which is hilariously imperfect, to perpetuate change. Anna says all the time how she had to learn a lot of what she is teaching, and had plenty of embarrassing moments herself. You know you’ve made it when you’re able to look back on those moments and laugh at yourself ❤️
Anna seems way more comfortable and playful in front of the camera, loving this phase of yours
You are becoming more playful anna , I like it
Agree☝
Summer vibes 👌🏾
She explained it in one of her podcasts. Since she extended her team, she has more time to actually do what she wants to with videos as she has more time and less worries. 🙂
I noticed too! I love it.
It's like she's come into her own.
I'm still in love with the fact that you preach sustainable fashion. Not from the point of view of saving the planet, but from the point of view of using natural fibers because they look and feel better. And from the point of view of purchasing your wardrobe is an investment that will last you a lifetime. My mom has a cotton shirt that is older than I am and it still looks fantastic because of the quality of the cotton and the construction of the garment. If you don't have to repurchase your plastic shirts every year then in the end you are saving so much more money.
You are so right! If you purchase quality, you don’t waste by continually purchasing the same type of garments.
Unfortunately ZARA and Pretty Little Thing, which she mentions is far from sustainable. Hoping she'll be making a 'Empowering other women through our purchases' video!
I am a muslim hijabi women but I follow anna and her suggestions,I apply her opinions on my dressing and my dressing with hijab has improved a lot because of u anna,thanks a lot for ur efforts.
Me too ❤️
I’m hija I too, I like to follow but it gets a bit hard. Do you have any social media inspiration?
Me too
Hijabis are all here 🙌 hahaha
Hijabi here as well
There is no other youtuber with this much personality! Only Anna can be this hilarious while being so insightful and on brand 😅❤️
Im learning to sew my own garments. Tailors are expensive and well, I want to add only garments I want to wear into my wardrobe. It's a journey and I'm really enjoying it 😊
That's wonderful! You must be so talented 😊
@@user-mc4og9zr3d thank you. But I'm still learning. I make mistakes, but I learn from them.
Good job girl! I'm in the same boat. :) I don't want to add to the slave labor but still look classy. Wanna share what you've made so far? I'd love to hear!
@@bpom527 couple of pants and tanktops for my son. They are not classy but cute as buttons. A couple of dresses (the second definitely better than the first) and a skirt. I've learned a lot from each thing I made.
@@cellinelisehenriksen3337 That's wonderful! I bet his clothes were adorable! Have you checked out the European children's styles? (I think it's European... lol) They are adorable! And so classy looking. Which is so cute to think of classy little tots. lol Did your skirt have a zipper in it? I think Ive only put in one zipper and should practice. lol
Anna is such a sweetheart, she wants all women to look elegant. that's why she gives off these tips 😌 I love this energy
I completely agree, you can tell Anna is the kind of friend that will look out for you.
I have children. I’d love to see tips on looking elegant taking them to all their sporting events at dirty soccer fields and dusty baseball diamonds in the summer heat. Thanks for sharing Anna. Love your advice!🥰
Yes! I was just outdoors with my 1 yearold today. My dress was a tiny but short but in my opinion in still appropriate. Still I had to be careful about bending over to pick her up. Elegant mom style would be SO appreciated!
@@elise8116 if you are afraid of bending over, it is too short!
@@miramaxima1982 I agree! It wasn't the shortest dress out there but still something I was mindful of. It was an improvement from my usual dress but I wouldn't do it again. Taking it one step at a time!
Yesss !! Elegant mom style would be great. Something for those that are pressed for time and things that are practical (and machine washable) as well as looking classy
I think a nice long denim shirt with a tucked up button up shirt like she’s wearing here would look lovely. You could match the color to your kids’ sports teams as well.
I would love it if you could create a video about how older women can still look elegant during the warm times of the year. Some older women, such as myself, no longer want to show our arms when they are no longer firm, even if the weather is warm. How can we leave our arms covered and still remain cool and stylish?
Yes! Even though I'm 5'2" with an inverted triangle (large natural breasts; small frame) the boat neck looks great on me I just don't do shorter sleeves with the boat neck.
I don’t like short sleeves either but other than losing the arm fat, not sure what else can be done. Maybe a 3/4 or 1/2 sleeve with some flutter to it?
3/4 sleeves are great. You can get them tight fitted or loose. I am young, but those sleeveless tops look horrible on me (body shape). I need at least a small over the shoulder sleeve. Wonder if you could get sleeves with slits? Some could look still affluent and elegant. Just hard to find the right ones. Simple is better.
YES, I would love to see a lot of examples that cover arms and legs for women over 60, like myself, for the HOT Arizona triple digit temperature.
I am actually grateful you spoke about the bra, it is a life saver
but whats even more important is getting one that fits right. 90% of women are wearing a bra with the band size far too big and cup size far too small. i am quite small in the chest department but i wear a DD cup. D cup does not equal big! And it is SO easy to figure out your own size bra. All you need is a soft measure tape. Measure your under bust (where your bra band is supposed to sit directly under the breasts) in a straight line around the torso. You might want to get a close friend or family member to help cause it can be difficult making sure the measuring tape isn't sitting higher or lower on your back than it should be. Pull the measure tape fairly tight. This measurement is your band size. My under bust measurement is 28 inches. Then measure the fullest part of the bust (generally the tape will lay on top of the nipples). The measuring tape needs to be in a straight line around the torso again to get a correct measurement. Mine measures 33 inches. Now subtract you band measurement from your bust measurement and count your cups. 33-28=5. I typically go with UK bra sizing because it is standard across all UK brands and is very easy to translate to any other brand. So, I need to count to the 5th cup. A,B,C,D,DD,E,F,FF,G,GG,H,HH,J,JJ,K,KK. Therefore I need a bra in the size 28DD. I could also get away with a 30D via sister sizing (if you increase 1 band size you go decrease 1 cup size and if you decrease band size by 1 you go up 1 cup size). But you never want to sister size more than once. So if your under bust measures 30 inches, you wear a 30 band and your bust measures 38 inches you wear a 30FF (which is a fairly average size) or you can wear a 32F if you run across a brand with a very tight band or just really love the bra. Or a 28G. Don't worry about where you are going to find bras in your new size (which is likely going to make you say "what no way my boobs are that big! before i find correct bra sizing i was wearing a 32 or 34A which fit me so badly) as you will most likely have to buy them online unless you have an independent bra boutique near you or you live in UK or poland. Our mentor Ana here should most likely be wearing about a size 28/30E/F. Most people would incorrectly claim she is a B or C cup.
@@bethanyday3471 How does it work with centimeter?
You can also wear silicone bra straps
@@Weissklangi i would highly just recommend going with inches. if you only have a centimeter measure tape, take the measurements in centimeters and then go onto google and just type in "cm to in". 1 inch is like 2.5 cm, but its just one thousand times easier to do the math with inches. i know in poland they take the measurements in centimeters and so they would measure the under bust and get 71 centimeters. but when following EU brands that have an old outdated version of bra sizing built into their bra sizes. so if you were to just go for a size 70 band it would be 2 band sizes too large. so again in poland they take this measurement and then subtract 10 cm and thats how they get their bra band size. 71 cm = 28 inches. a size 70 band is equal to a size 32 band so you subtract the 10 cm and get your actually band size, a 60 aka size 28. just much easier to do it in inches and convert to whatever bra brand you are going to buy from. once you do the math in inches you can buy from any brand. rib measurement is 28, bust measurement is 33, thats a 5 inch difference. so you would just buy a size 28 band and the 5th cup available from whatever brand. so in UK that would be a 28DD, but in FR that would be a 70E and EU would be a 60E. If you are just starting out in this journey I would stick to brands that follow UK standard sizing. Get your size down there and then branch oit because sometimes you need to go up or down a cup depending on brand and region. Band size will pretty much always stay the same, most the time when the band feels too tight its because the cup is too small. and easy way to check this is to turn the bra upside down and put it on so the cups are facing your belly button. does the band still feel tight? you should be able to slip the straps off of your shoulders and not have the band of your bra move at all. 90% of the support come from that band it!
@@bethanyday3471 What are your favorite bra brands to shop from? A good quality bra? I do know that most brands differ on sizing and fit. And sometimes It's easier to try it on it person so you know it fits well. But I don't have any nice places around me who sell quality lingerie.
Pro Tip: a lot of stores now carry clothes in a Linen/Rayon blend. It looks and wears like linen, but it's 1) less expensive, and 2) doesn't hold wrinkles as easily.
Hey! I would love examples if you have any.. I have such a hard time finding quality clothing at regular retail stores!
THANK YOU LIFE SAVER!
Sounds nice! Sounds comfy too, rayon tends to be soft and cooling.
Nicole Kennedy Zara have linen too
“These little darlings on your little darlings” 🤣♥️ I love Anna’s humor. Still elegant !
Tip: if a slow-spin or delicate wash cycle is used, linen won’t wrinkle as much. Take it out of the wash right away, it will be dripping, then give it some hand-shaping and hang-dry or toss it in a medium-setting dryer. I still iron it all, but this does make it easier.
Genius tip ❣️
Great tip! I would add to that by taking it out of the washer right away, line up the hems and seams, shake it, smooth it and hang it right away.
🙏👍
I only buy natural fabrics for summer... Cotton, linen, silk. There's nothing worse than sweating in polyester, rayon, Lycra, etc.
I went home to my humid warm country one summer for a funeral -- forgot & took a lined linen outfit & a silk one. Naturally I didn't realize the sauna sweat fest I was in for until almost time to go. Needless to say, I had to borrow an outfit or two--(shops weren't open, no time). Lol
+ polyester can start to smell so bad 💀
Is silk good in hot weather?
@@blairwillis9199 if you're in cool ' frigid air conditioning-- but not in the tropics
@@blairwillis9199 Yes!
I grew up in Italy, i learn at a young age to love linen for summer! Thank you, Please share new outfits ideas for long haul, people are getting back to travel.
Anna could you give tips on elegant jewelry? I feel like we have shoes, nails, bags and clothes covered but I'd like to see affordable jewelry in the elegant category.
I just saw a plastic necklace in a store with nicer clothes. I could not understand what that necklace was doing there.
I love the fact that you’ve become a lot more familiar with us and confident and you started make jokes, feel free speret etc! I love this!♥️✨
Anna is pregnant, she's added weight on her face and waist area. That explains the relaxed playful attitude. So happy for her 😊
I think with linen, why it's okay for it to be wrinkles, it's because it's expected to wrinkle💯
Anna! You teach us how to look expensive... How about how to smell expensive? 👃💙💚💙💚 I would like to know about your favorite perfumes and tips smell clean and fresh all the time. Hugs, Anna!
Oh, that's sounds really interesting!!! I love perfumes and I would like to see what her suggestions will be!!!
Hermes Voyage I would recommend.
Love this suggestion
Jo Malone 🥰
Excellent suggestion!
Thanks to Anna's videos I have been making a bigger effort with my clothing. Just wanted to share a win today with people who will understand. I attended an outdoor event today and I felt so confident in my appearance! My dress was an appropriate casual summer dress and I wore wedges and used a sling over shoulder handbag. It was perfect! There were a few others dressed well there but most were very casual denim and t-shirts. I was dressed nicely but not over the top for this event. I'm so proud of myself! Thank you for all the advice, Anna! I can honestly say that >almost< all eyes were on me because of you. It's the first I've ever felt so fantastic before. Thank you!
That sounds fantastic. Happy for you!
I'm an inverted triangle and I find boat necks look really good on me. Especially darker colors conceal the tip of the shoulders, making them appear smaller.
As a inverted triangle, I always benefit from boat and sweetheart necklines. I get lots of compliments on my neck. Every single time. Don’t be afraid of showing those bones. Use different colors and patterns on the bottom to balance things and show off your most femenine side :)
Thank you.
@@edennis8578 It's because these shapes highlight the largest part of our bodies. But one can wear more relaxed and flowy bottoms; wide legged trousers, flowy skirts, A-line skirts...etc. Something that balances the look. Wearing the mentioned neckline shapes with skinny jeans for example is not very flattering on our body shapes^^
@@zinab2blessa I agree with you.😀
Same here! I am inverted triangle shaped too, and it is just so hard because all of the pieces and neckline cuts that I want to wear is not allowed for my body shape 💔
@@zinab2blessa I disagree. I think it's a gorgeous look. I always avoided that look until I learned to play with the rules and lines of my own body. Now I love it.
Rise your hand if you want a video about summer hairstyles 👋 We love you Anna
Elegance at home would be a great topic. And Elegant life hacks.
Agree!
She already did a video about it, check it out!
Check her Instagram!!
I’m the complete opposite. I’m lazy in the winter when it comes to dressing. The winter depresses me
Me too. Just make me warm!
Same! I can hardly feel alive in the winter .. in the summer I’m a completely different person.
Same
Same :) Love summer dresses and I get lazy and winter and all the dark colours :/
Same! I out a lot more attention into my outfits during the summer.
Would you consider making a fashion advice video for women who have a large bust but want to dress elegantly? 💕
Thank you for letting me know boatnecks are not for inverted triangles. I feel that many people who give fashion advice don’t consider how the pieces look for certain body types.
I can't believe that I finally check all the boxes with Anna lol. I have been upgrading my closet for the past years just following my own style and my fashion instinct and I kinda nailed it? I feel so proud of myself lmao.
I will forever appreciate you Anna. You've helped my family a lot,since the pandemic till now your advices and lessons are inspirational and helpful to us. My husband and I have been able to be minimal, conscious in spending,saving and lnve,sting wisely. We have able to earn on a weekly basis and it helps the family a lot. You're such a blessing to this generation. We all love♥️😊. I'm so happy to join you today too
She is more than a blessing to us. She has changed a lot of families and teenagers for good. We all love you ♥️
Since my colleague introduced me to this channel, I've never missed a content and I'm happy and I'm proud of myself because I've learnt and taught my kids a lot. I'm happy for you dear keep it up👍
I'm very happy for you dear keep it up,we all know this channel help people a lot and gives us positive decision. They have helped me too but I will be glad to learn from you
@Russell Matthews I can share some that helped me 1. Plan towards it 2. Be frugal an minimal on spending (Don't buy what you don't need) 3. Save money wisely towards retirement 4. Save to (lnvest),it's a proven way to get richer. Very important to financial success
Look Russell, There's a lot of lnvesting options. But my best advice is get the services of a professional who will lead you into a Great and profitable one.
You talk like the elegant best friend, make us guilty If we are lazy and inspire us that's why I love you so much ❤️
Like she told the angel on your shoulder it was tacky and took it's place.
It's so nice to see the block heel sandal . It makes walking on lawns Much easier . Wedding season but a lot of them are outdoors so it's nice that these pretty shoes will work. Tiptoeing around on lawns because you're afraid you're gonna sink isn't the most elegant gate
Years ago when I was just starting in my career I didn't have the means to buy the well made, perfectly cut kind of clothes you suggest. Then I found a great book on dressing well on a tight budget by using the resources offered by second hand shops. The quality, cut and simple elegance you advocate for is to be found sometimes in the resale shops for a fraction of the price. Perhaps a video on how to direct our economic means wisely when we are just starting could be very interesting for many of the ladies who watch you. Thank you Anna!
I agree. I dress well for less myself by hunting in charity shops and Ebay 😁
Yes! You are showing your true personality in your videos! I couldn’t identify with your videos a few years ago. You’ve really come into your own, great work!
Your first example is not a Boatneck shoulder Iine. A traditional boatneck is not off the shoulder. It is Iike a straight piece of material that goes straight from shoulder to shoulder front and back covering the coIIar bones. It's Iike a sIit for the head.
As soon as she said an affluent fabric I knew she was going to say linen! Love linen.
Currently "elevating my wardrobe", getting ready to donate a bunch of old shoes and clothes. Wish me luck ladies!!🥰
Me too! I probably will have nothing left!
Good luck (2 years later🤭) I hope you enjoy your new wardrobe

Love how much more fun you’re having! Your delivery is wonderful - there’s no way anyone could offended in your delivery. Fantastic job ❤️
Linen is such a great material indeed!
@Merel Van Poucke- I agree about linen. Sometimes though the shirts look “boxy” on me because it’s a bit stiff.
It wrinkles quite easily, always get a linen-cotton blend.
Anna's presence has improved so much! You look so much more comfortable and your personality is coming through! Maybe you could even act in the future! All my love 💓
Agree 100% with the fabrics. My skin HATES polyester. Switching to more natural materials was one of the best things I have done for my very sensitive skin
I’m so grateful to you Anna. Things I used to wear trying to look classy, was the exact opposite. Since following you and taking your advice, I’ve definitely attracted a better grade of people. The confidence I’ve had elevating my look is so rewarding. It truly is amazing how people treat you when you’re well put together. Huge difference. Thank for all your advice. 😊
I try to follow your tips even tho I wear a Hijab so i originally dont show much skin or hair but I do my best to keep it elegant and I have to say I love your videos and you are an inspiration anna
Hijab styles are elegant by default to me! I see so many beautiful hijabis in my city, in long flowing cream and beige clothes and beautiful fabrics, they look like royalty to me 💫
Literally one of the best dressed colleagues I ever met was covered hair to ankles. But she did have a lot of pieces which she knew how to style in a sublime way.

Dear Anna, you have helped me a ton with your wonderful fashion advice! I am here since the channel launched and I now have a solid classic wardrobe with pieces that can be matched with each other, I now know my style, I know my colors and I know what I like and what suits me. I will be forever grateful for these videos. Much love from Hungary 💙
Ana, you could talk about anything - I would watch! Listening to your content is like a therapy - your self esteem, sense of humor and sincerity is really inspiring to be at least a little bit more elegant, more feminine. Live better and become better. I was never interested in elegance, etiquette, fashion or afluent life style. I could call myself an artsy villager :D , who doesn't care about outfits that much. But with your content I discovered the importance of it all and feel so much better about myself than before! So, thank you! Very very much :).
"Artsy Villager" lol love it
I love this video! Not only because of the great content you put out but you seem so energetic and naturally funny. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and entertainment. Feels like I’m talking to a friend. 💕✨
Your energy is so radiant, Anna ✨ Thank you for the lovely ideas ❣
I love your videos Anna, you have helped me on so many ways. I came from a family of brothers and my mother was not around when O was a younger. On the past 2 years I've learnt so much from you, in terms of etiquette, style and mental wellbeing. I'm very grateful for your help and I was never taught these things when I was younger
I love Anna’s energy and her way of making this fun to learn. I also enjoy her feminine sense of humor.
This lady is fantastic. The young mother that ive lost
Actually she looks so radiant and happy, that I wouldn't be surprised at all, if a small Anna (or Annas) would be on it's way. . . 🎁😍
Lovely video, as always! 🤍
Oh my goodness woah! How cool! I had just seen your interview with The Roommates a while back, and I wanted to say thank you for representing the hidden women in society that actually want and love men. I liked how you empathized with men’s perspective, but also gave a refreshing reality check, in the sense that not all women utilize the “hot girl summer,” mindset.
@@LilRed_BullRider Thank you so much, Sienna! 🥰 you’re a gem!
Linen is at a very decent price in Italy intresting even in touristy areas 💛 linen is an amazing choice for the summer👌
Yess this is what I requested and was waiting for 🥰 thank you Anna!!
I don’t like showing my arms and I stay covered from the sun even though I wear sunscreen. Any recommendations for styles with long or mid length sleeves during summer?
Long sleeved shirts, blouses and turtlenecks made of cotton, silk or linen with a shorter pant or skirt is my go to (I also don't like showing my arms) Try to avoid colours that will show sweat stains (e. g. grey) or make a small patch test with water to see how much it shows. You can also get sleeveless midi dresses and put a thin button up shirt like a jacket over it to cover your arms
I personally love bishop sleeves, I think they look very sophisticated. They're quite common with wrap dresses I've found, another classy summer style. Otherwise I find fitted 3/4 length sleeves (or full length sleeves folded back to the elbow) to be flattering. But with more coverage, natural fibres (especially linen) is a must for me in summer.
Sheer or lacy sleeves let your skin breathe
I am the same way. I love lightweight 100% linen long sleeves, and lightweight 100% cotton long sleeves :)
@@kthy31 thank you for the advice
Thank you!!!! And, I love seeing your awesome personality shining through… while staying elegant as ever.
I am an inverted triangle and I have one boat neck blouse that I wear and I actually love it because it is a peplum blouse! The volume below actually gives balance to the silhouette 😊

It's always a delight to watch the channel and learn from Anna Bey. So much good advice on this channel. I tried the linen tops she suggested and as she said, I feel and look elegant and cool. Anna Bey is a phenomenal teacher!
So many practical advice at the right moment! Very useful. This is one of my favourite video. Thank you Anna.
Hello Anna, Ladies (I noticed some men in the comments, too). I am new to this channel, and love it. I considered myself classy casual. Your channel helps me to see where i can take things higher, not just in wardrobe, in character, as well. The comments also call things to attention where improvement is needed. I appreciate you, Anna, and those who offer their feedback in the comment section.
Amazing video as always Anna! I'll be going to university in September and I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on elegant outfits suitable for studying and campus life in general. Keep up the great work 💖
I ABSOLUTELY , love your channel. Thank you for your open and honest advice
Always have great tips for us ladies. Thank you so much ❤️keep going with your amazing life changing advises

I've always loved boat necks & linen from way back when I was a teenager ..it's such a resilient cooling fabric that always sits well.thank you for such a wonderful practical video .❤️🙏❤️
"why didn't she steam her clothe just like anna bey told her to do" that actually something I do say😂
Lmfaaaoo! Yes I would think the same as well!
Lol whenever I see someone being unclassy, I tell my boyfriend “school of affluence wouldn’t approve!”
I literally laughed out loud when she said this. Anna is hilarious. I just love her!
Whenever I'm shopping, now I always ask myself "Is this something Anna would wear?" It has indeed changed the way I shop... my wardrobe is a work in progress now😁
Dear Anna, these tips are a great source of inspiration! That makes me look forward to my holiday all the more. And I loooove your sense of humour 👌🏻💗
Anna you look absolutely stunning. I've followed you for a few years now and its been amazing to see your personal transformation both inside and out.
Omg! That’s from Pretty Little Thing? 😱😱 wow Anna you are really a testament to the fact that you can look classy at any budget 😎😻😘😘
This video just showed up while I am thinking about what to get when I am on a budget. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and being my inspiration x
I just purchased 4 linen blouses from Banana Republic Factory. Originally $64 and I purchased for $25 each. I’m So happy with my purchase!!!!
I've been waiting for a video like this! Thank you! (This color looks GREAT on you)!
Can you make a tutorial about how to style coats and other formals like tie or how to make sure that the pumps are clean
Thank you, all looks I love, too! Btw I just ordered the same dress from PLT after seeing yours! I love it, can't wait to get it! Enjoy your Summer, Anna!
Love it. Great video . I enjoyed to see you happy showing us summer pieces. Thank you Anna.
The trouble I have with Linen is some pieces wrinkle so easily - especially back of the clothes.
I agree. Linen requires a lot of upkeep. It’s just too much since I live in south Florida where you can’t just stock up on linen, as it’s VERY expensive because ideally you’d have to wear different pieces every single day because of the extreme humidity and heat. My budget doesn’t allow such a pricey wardrobe, nor do most people where I live. Sadly everyone here takes the easy and quick way out because it’s just easier. Floridians dress in gym clothes almost all year.😝
She literally said wrinkles look natural with linen...
@@amyp.575 Yeah I heard her. I still personally don’t like how wrinkles look just because Anna Bey says they look “natural.” Lol.
I love summer day events and early evening events! Attending events during that time scheduele makes me feel so free and relaxed and stresless, idk why:))
Love it!! Currently shopping for Spring and Summer... Thanks for your help!
This is the very one I‘ve been looking for. Much appreciated, Anna!❤️
I love linen, and have lots of garments made in it because we have very long, hot summers where I live. Yes, it wrinkles easily, a blend of linen and viscose might be better for those who refuse to iron, but I find ironing rather relaxing, the trick is to do it when it’s cool, have a fan, and dress lightly. I give my linens my best ironing, then just relax and enjoy wearing them!
Love your suggestions Anna! Could you also give suggestions for much more casual lifestyles? I spend my free time at our summer house playing with my dogs, going for walks in the woods, gardening, riding my bike, etc.
Yay! Once again, very helpful. Thank you for the great suggestions - I'll use them. You look beautiful. Happy summer!
Thank you so much for your dedication, it's really helping and understandable for those of us that are only starting the journey of being an elegant lady. I personally didn't even know the cooling properties of linen.
