Haha, that's why I always consult with my husband about what actually looks good on me. He knows best! :) Those hideous shorts and, really, any high-wasted pants make you look like you're wearing a diaper!

Haha, lucky, my husband usually gives me general answers like "I don't know, you look fine" or "they all look the same." (We went to a wedding last month and I was like DO YOU LIKE THIS DRESS OR THIS DRESS and he's like "well... that one is long and that one is short.") lol

Very helpful! lol Husbands can be like that, too! Mine can only tell me he whether likes something or not, but he can't tell me why, which is okay :)

So many modern women dressing for other women. I always rely on my husband’s and father’s opinions on what really looks best. I know I’m on the right path when they pay a compliment. Usually a dress and simple long hairstyle. I know my husband likes when I make an effort and get dolled up, but he’s made it clear many times his preferred look is minimal makeup and a put together feminine outfit.

Okay, so... maybe I'm just CRAZY...

But I think that the entire idea of "looking expensive" or wearing things because they "look expensive" or imply "high status" by way of emulating people who have a lot of money... is pretty vomit-worthy.

And I thought that most of the pieces she showed in the video were boring, blocky/angular, and unfeminine.

And I kinda thought the lady in the video could maybe be a tranny.

All these women that have work done to their face, look that way, a bit. That was funny to read on my break, thanks for the laugh.

I don't like the idea of fake stuff like fillers, injections that she talks about in some earlier videos.

I do like how she tries for elegance consistently, its something I feel I lack.

She's hit-and-miss with good feminine choices for clothing pieces.

I've seen these men in women's stores and they have that look like they were dragged along and upset about wasting their Saturday watching their girlfriend or wife shop for clothes. I, on the other hand, would be picking out skirts and dresses that I'd like to see on my girl.

No, he's a good sport if we go shopping, he just has a lack of interest in clothes. He likes some general things like sheaths/sundresses/etc. I tend to go for more classic pieces in general, and comfortable things at home.

I always joke that stores have a "man chair" though, lol

Early on in my marriage, my mom told me to NEVER bring my husband along when shopping, and I'm glad I followed her advice! I feel sorry for those bored men following their wives around the store like puppy dogs. I normally buy a couple of pieces to try at home and then I show my hubby.

She's definitely hit or miss, but she dresses more elegantly than most nowadays, which is something that appeals to me. I couldn't care less about her surgeries and advice for social climbing. I only take what I like and skip the rest.

Only taking what I like and skipping the rest is great advice. I like that phrase.

I'm trying to doublecheck that what I'm skipping is good to skip.

Because Anna Bey is still materialistic-minded. She loves luxury lifestyle and urged women to marry rich millionaires. Other than that, I still follow her for feminine fashion and elegance/etiquette tips. The level up aspect of her message is something that I ignore right now (no longer interested in having luxurious materialistic lifestyle).

I mostly visit Etsy every month or so, I'm addicted to the long Alita collection. (I try not to worry because someone recommend me) I am about to turn 32. I still wear alita jewelry set. That are cute on me now. ;)

I'm in my twenties, so yes, definitely into fashion. And yes, I am proudly indulging in the trend of baggy jeans with lots of holes, and white Air Force Ones, lol. I enjoy a variety of things, and so does my husband. Since we got married, I began incorporating a lot of his fashion preferences into my personal style. He loves feminine clothing, so I have plenty of that now, too. To keep my personal style looking fresh and current, I take one or two popular items and start to incorporate them into my style. I will then stop wearing things that are considered dated (like skinny jeans), and save them in the back of my closet for when they become popular again.

Regarding denim shorts, I have a vintage pair of black, high-wasted cutoffs (orange tag Levi's) and I love them (and so does my husband, lol). Pocket placement is critical in order to achieve a lifted look back there.

Regarding Anna Bey, I don't care for her as a person; like others have stated, she's very materialistic (if some of you haven't, I recommend looking into her background). Regarding her personal style, it's a little stiff in my opinion, but it's not terrible. Honestly, whether or not a style looks good depends on the person wearing it. I've experimented a lot in my teens and 20's to understand what looks good on my body shape (my mom went to finishing school and worked as a model back in the 80's, so she learned a lot about fashion and how to make it work for one's body; thankfully, I had her help as well).

I used to care about fashion until I had kids. Now my style is what I call “Costco chic” :squintlol:

But, seriously, what I wear has to be very practical and utilitarian because I’m caring for little children and doing lots of housework and other chores so these are the first things I look for in clothes, in order of importance:
1) How long will this clothing item last?; 2) Will I feel bad if it gets ruined?; 3) Does it look semi-cute?

I honestly could care less if I look “rich” or not according to some BoobTube personality.

What people think of Anna Bey's fashion recommendation as blocky/angular/stiff is actually a common style for upper class old money women. This style is highly influenced by Ralph Lauren, Max Mara, and Loro Piana designs (these are high end labels a favorite among the upper class). There's a lot of androgynous/masculine influences on this style, specifically influence from upper class sports (horse riding, boating, tennis, etc). I think that's why it's not really feminine.

I watch Anna videos less and less nowadays, and have to apply strong discernment with it. She's also championing femininity but not the traditional parts (she doesn't cook and work a lot in her business instead of her home; also a Sex and the City gal), so it might creates confusion for women.

I do think fashion is distracting and no longer interested with it. It's constantly changing, and most trends are ridiculous and not always feminine or elegant. There's also a lot of materialism and consumerism sorrounding this field (people in fashion business are usually degenerates too). Personally for me, following fashion is a waste of time, energy, and money; it's a distraction from my true purpose in life. It's also putting more of your focus to the body and surface appearance. That's the reason I opt for simple, classic, feminine, and modest style. It's always looking good in any era and need less maintenance.

Good modern style inspiration from popular culture IMO is from royal ladies (especially European royal ladies, coz they have more exposure in the media so it's easier to check out). It's mostly modest, feminine, and elegant. I would tweak it into more modest and simpler style personally. Some of the First Ladies also have good style. Lately I'm falling in love with cottage-core style too (a bit hipster term, I think, but still cute nevertheless).

Style, not fashion.

Daily Connoisseur also gives good style advice, without the materialistic and luxurious approach. Her style is classic, feminine, modest, and practical. I like her concept of capsule wardrobe. There's also a lot of nice videos about manners/etiquette, elegance, homemaking, and being a cultured woman. She's not exactly having an approach to faith in her contents, but still nice and wholesome.



Good suggestion on modest swimwear:

Lately, I’ve been loving simple linen clothing, earthy colours and sets, either a matching top with a skirt or top with long loose pants. A really clean, simple look. When I feel too “done up” I get anxious.
