I have picked out some amazing pieces for you! They're feminine they're classic and they are
elegant and they're gonna really elevate your wardrobe this spring so find out what they are.
So here I'm wearing a dress called Mika and it's from a brand called Reformation. A brand that I
actually like shopping from because I think that they have moderately priced their items for being
a mid-range brand. Now the reason why I chose this dress, several reasons actually. First of all,
the color red. Very feminine, I love the color red and I really want you ladies to have at least a
few red colored dresses at home. You're gonna be surprised how much positive male attention
you're gonna get. And then we have the cut of the dress, very classic, maybe almost a little bit of
vintage style, traditional. For some It might be a bit too conservative, but I personally think that
adding the red plus conservative, and then you have maybe personal grooming like I have today
that is a little bit more I don't know flirty feminine relaxed sensual somehow it adds a good
nice little mix to it meaning that it's not all just stuffy and boring and kind of uptight. You
know when you eat like so salt and sweet popcorn I personally like that mix when I style myself that
I have something like quite conservative and then I have something a little bit more less
conservative. The drawback of wearing something like this could be for the petite ladies you might
feel like you're drown in this length of a dress because it's maybe a little bit more suitable for
ladies of my height, regular height or maybe tall ladies. Another drawback is the fact that dresses
like this you usually have to wear them with heels. Some of these kind of dresses can be worn
with flats but I wouldn't wear this dress with flats, it looks better with a pair of sandals.
You might be wondering wow that's unusual for Anna to buy something like that and indeed you will not
often see me wear a jumpsuit and there are many technical reasons for that. Number one, I have an
hourglass body shape and for us we usually find it problematic to find a jumpsuit that doesn't kind
of pull up our crotch. So for this reason I tend to avoid them. Now this jumpsuit I thought you
know what let me be a little bit experimental with you because I know we have many different body
types watching and if you're somebody with a more straighter body type then for sure jumpsuits would
work on you most likely at least depending on of course some other body proportions, but I explain
all of that in my course about fashion called The Elegant Stylist. so this jumpsuit is by a brand
called Sezane and I specifically chose it because I like the price I'm not gonna lie I thought it
was a fairly decent price and I saw the material and actually even in person the material is quite
nice it's very thick and for the low price of 120 euro something I was wow, shocked, it's a bargain,
must try it on. And to be honest, in person it does look expensive it looks like it would cost I
don't know over 300, 400 euros let's say and what I like about Sezane is that it's a French brand,
and they do kind of very classically French style clothing for a really decent price. So the style
of this jumpsuit is quite I would say maybe more trendy fashionista style maybe a little bit more
edgy for some. It's not hyper feminine at all but sometimes you can still look feminine in something
that has more of a masculine touch to it it all depends how you groom yourself, what shoes you're
wear, how you accessorize things. As you can see, I have done my hair, I'm wearing a pair of heels,
I'm wearing a little bag and you know what then it doesn't look as masculine as if I would just
wear it with a pair of sneakers and my hair pulled up. What I also like about this outfit is the fact
that it is very retro and I think anything retro can signal a lot of elegance because it kind of
brings out the the vintage feel sometimes. A big plus of this jumpsuit is the fact that it has a
belt, if it didn't have a belt and I would not have recommended it to you because the belt has a
bit of femininity which is really nice considering that everything else is quite masculine.
So this next little outfit you see a pop of color which we love in Spring, finally no more black no
more gray can't see that anymore but instead we're flourishing in beautiful feminine colors
like purple and, hi Teddy hi sorry but you're interrupting yeah you're interrupting Teddy
go play. So this dress is from a brand called Sandro another French brand which I do like
really nice mid-range brand with really good quality clothing, even if sometimes it can
cost a bit. The only thing that concerns me a little bit about this dress are the sleeves,
you see these balloon sleeves they kind of widens you a little bit on the upper body considering
that this is a mini dress and they really kind of tightens here so you end up looking actually
a bit wider on the upper body so certain body types really have to be cautious with this. Now
do I personally like mini dresses? No I don't. I prefer longer dresses but I do know ladies
that I have many of you watching that are perhaps younger and you love wearing minis and it works
perfectly fine for your body type, so of course I wanted to include something and this dress really
stood out to me because of its beautiful color the color is just striking I love this purple
and purple is a color that really goes with most color complexions. Another thing that I
really love about this dress is the fabric, Sandro are really good in using high quality
materials on the mid-range level and I also do really appreciate the feminine silhouette of
this dress it's a small tiny A-line but it has this kind of feminine detailing.
So here we have another dress from Reformation and it's also another mini dress I am not a big fan as
you can see I really don't feel comfortable in these dresses that are really short,
I feel like I'm a little bit too old now for them. But they can really be suitable on the right body
type. What I really like about this dress is I love the fabric. I love the kind of tweed
with the matching black buttons because the black and the buttons matches the black and the tweed,
and it just looks very harmonious. Another detail that was really cleverly made, and actually not
many kind of designers make this detail is an adjustable waist. Now those ladies who have taken
my Elegant Stylist program, and by the way if you have it go to eleganantstylist.me and find out
more about how you can learn fashion styling with me. It is my signature course where I teach you
everything that I know about styling so that you can also become a pro in the styling department,
and trust me if you think that you learned a lot in today's video, you're gonna learn so much more
if you join my program. Now inside my school, I teach ladies about the waist placement and
how it really differentiates among different body types. But this dress has really taken the female
waist placement in mind because actually, it has a waist feature in the back that you can tighten and
therefore create a waist placement silhouette for you that is suitable specific for your body type.
Because not everybody has their waist in exactly the same place and that's really important to pay
attention to when you are shopping for clothes. Because actually many ladies don't even understand
that they bought a dress where the waist maybe sits here although their waist is like up here and
then it looks odd. I must tell you that I'm not a big fan of these actually. I thought it was going
to look a little bit better in person because these sleeves are definitely widening the upper
body it can be very much suitable for those ladies who have slopey shoulders and need a bit of width
to balance out the body proportions. And had it not been for the two short lengths for my taste,
I would have actually gotten this dress myself but in my case I just don't think it's really
suitable for me but I know it's going to be suitable for many of you ladies. Oh and
by the way everything that you see in today's video is linked below in the description box.
Expectation versus reality. The picture on the website made this dress look amazing and now
that I'm putting it on I don't know I don't think it looks amazing on me whatsoever and
I am actually already seeing a few issues. Now one of the issues that really struck me
immediately is like where is this belt where is the belt from the picture that they were showing
it's empty here, so that is already a big minus because obviously when you have a little detail
here the dress would look much nicer. But then there's another problem, and actually right now
you can't see it but the dress is a little bit on on the bigger side for me the zipper in the back
is also not really holding it together so I feel like this dress is kind of just sliding down. So
I have to like pull it up all the time now then there is another detail that ruins everything
with this dress, can you see what it is? The dress is actually too long for me. It cuts off
my leg really in the in the wrong place where I actually end up looking shorter and this is a very
common problem that a lot of petite ladies feel so in this case I would say that this dress would
probably look really nice on the on a lady who is quite tall or has tall legs, but me I am somebody
of a regular height so yeah this dress is simply too long for me. Had it been a little bit shorter
where you can actually see my ankles then it would have been nicer but right now it cuts off in a
very funny place making me look short wide and just simply compact. I want to talk about upper
wear but when I say that it sounds like we're going to talk about Tupperware. Blouses, tops,
shirts, long sleeves, short sleeve, knitwear, you name it, are so important in our wardrobe
especially during these transitional times when it's still a little bit too cold to just wear
bare shoulders we need something a little bit more covering. And I think it's quite hard to find nice
blouses, either they're going to have all kinds of ugly prints or they're gonna have a material
if you're looking for something on a budget or mid-range that is not 100%. Or it looks a bit
frumpy perhaps. This one I really liked. First of all, I thought the color was nice it's not my
100% color because it's a muted blue which is not really a top color for me but it's still okay like
because it goes in the blue department and most blues work on me. So this is kind of like a silky
blouse slash shirt and it's really nice, it feels comfortable, the material feels high-end. The
only drawback of it and it's on purpose actually which sometimes brands do which I don't really
understand why they do it, but they add a little washed out effect. Don't ask me why because who
wants a garment to look washed out? Not me that's for sure. But yes this one is a little bit washed
out, but I would actually still not put a cross on it because it still looks quite nice in real
life. One of the reasons why I love blouses is because I love wearing high-waisted trousers
as you can see here, and then I love tucking my blouse in just the way I've done it here and then
it gives me this illusion of really long legs. Yet it kind of looks a little bit nonchalant when it's
hanging halfway out, and I like that touch because everything that is like properly aligned and you
know can feel a little bit stuffy and a little bit too elegant sometimes. You want to have that
a little bit semi-casual semi-relaxed feel while still being very dressed up it adds a really nice
harmony to your outfit, which is something that I like especially in this outfit. You can see a
nice pair of tailored trousers with a nice kind of chic blouse that is semi tucked in, perfect.
Let's talk knitwear. And I want to actually show you something pretty immediately look.
Frumpy, boring, old-fashioned, really plain and basic. However if you just tuck it in a
little bit, instantly it becomes more elevated. Now this is a trick ladies that I really want
you to pay attention to because sometimes we're gonna find really beautiful sweaters, cardigans,
etc that don't work in their kind of natural shape. You have to jazz it
up a bit. Oh and I got some other colors too I want to show you let's try them on.
Ladies what is going on here? Expectations versus reality once
again. On the website this top looks so feminine, so chic, elegant, but in person
it does not look as nice. The whole construction of the blouse is not really nice plus it has no
waist definition whatsoever making you look wider. Of course not every garment needs to
have waste definition but trust me this one I kind of expected that it would have
and that's also another reason as to why I purchased it. No this one I'm sorry ladies
I'm not even going to bother going further reviewing this garment. It's a no for me.
I started this video by wearing polka dot, why not end this video with polka dot? And the
reason why is because polka dot is a print that is probably one of the most classic and elegant
prints you will find, but also very feminine prints as well. And I was also talking very
heavily about upper wear in today's video which is why I wanted to end with yet another blouse,
because I think we all need a lot of blouses because it gives us a lot of variations in
our wardrobes. Separates are always a good investment. Trust me on that one and memorize
that. Thing about the polka dots is that they come in all kinds of colors, shapes and forms,
and you can see that here I'm wearing something more kind of white dots with navy and here you
have black dots with white print, earlier I had something completely different so think about the
polka dots come in all kinds of variations. Now in my next video I'm actually gonna share more
shopping tips with you so make sure you hop on over to that video because I will see you there.
