modesty can be both elegant and sexy if done properly. Confidence is the main accessory. ppl dont know how to leave stuff to the imagination anymore lol

im a teen just 14 and its helped me so much on my femininity and also modesty walk 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Modesty is load of bullshit its just a man made garage

I concur!

It would be great if more teen girls would find this channel; but at the same time, it's depressing at how many moms and grand moms are failing at their job of teaching girls that their worth is not in cheap attention, but found in a relationship with God and having self-respect & respect for others.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

😂😂

Me too 😂😂😂

The comment I’m looking for.😂😂😂

Total shade

Yessssss ma'am intended audience is correct !!

❤

❤

Lol. This is wrong !

Not true. Many rude, obnoxious women behave that way because "they know their worth." Many true ladies go unnoticed because their way of dressing makes them blend into the background.

🔥🔥🔥

​@@edennis8578 no, I didn't mean worth that way at all. I meant a deep peace within you knowing your worth as a human being & in particular as a woman. When this happens, although we all have our weaknesses ect, it goes hand in hand with humility & grace

​@@ladyfrance3 how so?

I love silver and gold jewellery I hate fake jewellery I have more rings than my fingers can wear I'm obsessed silver earrings chains bangle anklet I even bought silver jewelry for my baby I

I totally agree with all thirteen rules to looking good. Beauty and elegance come from within. God bless you.

❤

She studied Law as well. 🙂

Best of luck in your. Future endeavors ❤

Congratulations on your high school graduation.

Good luck in with your studies. I'm glad to hear you have discovered this channel and is learning from it. I am learning a lot from Woman of Elegance channel as well, even as a feminine woman. I love watching and learning.

Keep on learning darling

So proud of you

Wow! That's awesome. Keep it up!

Same

You sound elegant to me, keep your nails and enjoy, that's my advice. I believe that this video is just a guideline, not written in stone ❤

It may be a preference but long nails are not elegant no matter how you slice it

​@@cathyscherer1051 to

I think this largely depends on culture. I also wear my nails semi-long and get compliments all the time by elegant people, men and women. Many respectable ladies and classy celebrities also wear long nails because it’s considered fashionable. I think it all comes down to tasteful designs and flattering colors. On the contrary, when I wear short nails nobody comments on it. In my culture very short nails can look juvenile like what teens would wear so they can sneakily go to school. It’s not the most attractive look for a young woman. I don’t think elegance is a one size fits all and most content I see online mostly cover western idea of elegance.

I work in Research and wear my nails semi-long. I'm with you Sis, and thank you for your service to our country:)

Yes. However, there is a difference between recognising that that is the case, and endorsing it. The other people aren’t unaware of how society perceives them; they are actively working to dismantle those stereotypes by literally telling people not to judge

Absolutely!

P😊ppp

That’s still judgement though. You can acknowledge that there’s a time and place for certain outfits without judging those around you for the way they choose to dress themselves. We can all agree you should look professional at your job, but that doesn’t mean you have to judge the people who don’t. It’s just about minding your business

Anna Bey is definitely not an expert on this subject-matter. Her fake over plumped lips are appalling taste and she bangs on about subjects she doesn't know much about. The kind of clothes she goes for are horrible knits and cheap imitations. She's appalling.

Awesome. Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Was hoping someone did this.

Thanks for making it snappy

I was looking for this 😂thanks

I agree ! I'm not a fan of make up and I hope and work towards maintaining an elegant look while still staying 💯 natural

Have you ever thought why some women don't like wearing makeup? It can be deeper than that (impostor syndrom, afraid of receiving compliments, afraid of shining...)

Absolutely!

Yes specially some chemicals in make up are unhealthy

@iremey i so agree

Men hold the door open for you? They hold it for me also, and I like to look nice, but in my 70’s I wear slacks much more often. No one would ever mistake me for a man. No need to fall for the dress, to not look mannish.

@@lynnebattaglia-triggs1042 pants themselves aren’t what make women look mannish, however, I’m 25 and women my age wear Crocs, baggy t-shirts, and distressed jeans and dress very androgynous (if not out right mannish) and I prefer to be a prim and proper gyal. I already went through my phase of graphic t-shirts, hoodies, leggings, and skinny jeans and realize I didn’t put any effort into my wardrobe and simply followed the trend. I’m glad to hear men holding the door open for elderly women, a teeny bit of my hope has been restored.

@@SundaySpeaks WOW I'm 18 and plus size but I don't have a belly It's mostly in my thighs and I have a small waist and small boobs with that in mind how should I dress modestly? most of the time I wear high waisted skinny jeans, rompers, dresses that hit a couple inches above my knees, t-shirts, leggings, crop-tops, sneakers, high waisted flare-leg jeans, shorts, matching shorts and crop-top sets, and heels my measurements are (in inches) 51 hips, 40 waist, 47 bust, and my bra size is 42B in American womens and I am 5 feet 9 1/2 inches tall. I am trying to lose weight by running 2 miles a day on my treadmill and doing the keto diet and can't wait to see results! I'm trying to go down to a size medium/140 pounds. Also I have 2B (2B = very wavy almost curly hair) very long dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and very pale neutral toned skin so with that in mind I was thinking about dyeing my hair after I lose weight for a new look I was thinking white or platinum blonde? PLEASE tell me what you think! I would really appreciate any input from anyone!!! 😊🙏And thanks to anyone for liking my comment or even reading it! it's so long LOL🤭🤗😆

SundaySpeaks, Wow. You've done a major make over!

Thank you for this. I am artistic woman and my clothes reflect that but I carry myself with much elegance.

​@@renewingmyminddaily2400that is true I have a teen who is very artistic but I do tell her we are all human beings and people see you before they know you. That good old saying 1st impressions are lasting ones. But I am all for colors in a more tasteful way. People judge you before they know you unfortunately.

I completely AGREE!!! I love color too, ALL of them!! Brilliant brights, soft pastels, muted shades, deep rich tones, neutrals and vibrant colors. Colors MAKE a statement 💯 💖💃

I'm from the Caribbean as well, and I had a similar thought.

True

Many young women aren't concerned with being elegant

My thoughts exactly!

I will go to university soon then I will recommend this channel to my girl friends 👍

100% agree!!

Amen!!

It's *her* opinion on *her* channel. Yes, you can wear what you want on your nails. She isn't saying you specifically should not. She doesn't follow the trend and that's her choice. A lot of us feel this way, but we get drowned out by the flashiness in others and get called plain Janes by other women aka " look dull". Let her have the space to speak her viewpoints and learn to not take others' opinions so personally. If you were really confident that you are classy and elegant, you wouldn't be so much in your feels about her giving her opinion.

what would be an example of a tasteful tattoo?

My nails have been long since 89 its not a trend. I think short nails look manly. To each their own.

I’m guilty of the grizzly nails but IMO my hands are small so the nails kinda counter that. But I keep them clean and neutral colors or French and believe it people love them!

YEP. I even iron t-shirts. People act like t-shirts don't get wrinkled. Lol. I can NOT leave the house wearing wrinkled clothes!

I started my elegance journey after getting quite some tattoos on my arm. Even though they might not fit a 100% to my new style, their message is so important to my life, that I would never want to get rid of them.

​@@anjaglivar4284You missed what was said. Tats are very much a personal message. But, too many takes away from that personal statement and just becomes a loud distraction.

@@fourthgirl I don't think I missed it at all :-) She is definitively right that too much is taking away from elegance and I have quite many tattoos on one arm. But nonetheless I decided to keep them since the message of kindness towards all beings is such an important one (I stand up for animal rights and have many of the animals that I rescued from slaughter tattooed on). I started to dress modestly and wanting to be elegant after I made those. Even if they are distractive and not too elegant since I have many, I'll keep them and not laser them away. But that's the beauty of those videos; we can take what fits to us and use it to elevate ourselves, and we can leave what does not suit our preference and go on. I absolutely loved the overall video and message ;-)

Good for you." There is nothing more elegant than being who you are.

Absolutely. I think the younger generations are not interested in disappearing into the background. And that’s ok. Be you- whether that is a logo billboard or disappearing into the background and everything in between.

You're mother is wise!! And loving to impart such encouragement. ♡

I’ve heard that clothes steamers are great. I’ve been wanting to take the plunge with steaming rather than ironing my clothes, but I’m not sure how to pick a “good” steamer vs a “bad” one. Some people love them, others say that they don’t work

Agreed

YES. I saw a really classy older lady with the most beautiful purple hair. She dressed very minimal, but she had a splash of fun with her purple hair. Her hair was styled simple, which created balance.

@Recluse-music.. I completely agree with the comment you made. I think that people can look elegant with long nails and different colored hair. Like you said , as long as you respect yourself, you will always be elegant. You can follow all these rules, and some people are still not going to respect you and could care less if you look eloquent. People always talk about outward appearance, but I’m always looking inside a person. What kind of person are you inside?

Wow that's so unfortunate. I would never get tattoos personally because my skin has so many blemishes that all I want is even clear skin. But I wonder if I would have gotten tattoos if my skin had been clear.

There Are Waterproof Skin Coverage Makeup I Know This Is A Temporary And There Is Other Alternatives Tattoo Removal Cream,Lazer Removal And Other Products I Would Mention This To Your Doctor They May Also Can Find Healthy Alternatives Too I Hope This Helps God Bless👑🙏🏽🙆🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️❤

Same here girly! Don’t feel bad. Im such a beautiful woman and I’m stuck with these tattoos from over 10years ago. Main reason I’m even watching this video, to see how I can still portray an elegant look even with them. I think for us it’s mainly about how we carry ourselves because we are judged instantly from the tattoos! ❤

Well, for leggings, the panty line is considered embarrassing to show, so many women opt for thongs, though personally, I think it shows more

How was it

Yes indeed - many of these women leave the house wearing nothing but underwear. You see them in Walmart, the airport ….. I mean EVERYWHERE . Has society lost its mind.? And it seems the bigger and more overweight - the more they want to put on display. It’s just gross, extremely unattractive and disgusting. Who wants to look at 4 layers of body fat hanging from your stomach and around your sides like stacked tires.??? These people must consume food cows 🐄 and Bisons 🦬, because this is what many women are looking like today and don’t give a damn about leaving the house looking sloppy and unkept. Decency is for certain not important and elegance is obviously not important as well or a goal.

I truly agree with you. I think we as women need to just accept each other as we are and stop advising what someone should and/or should not wear. I have dreadlocks and love them.

Great advice! Thank you

👏🏻

Isn’t a 12 year old a child and not a lady?

As a Hollywood stylist, nose piercing studs look outdated and cheap. Small Nose rings with nice make up and cute style look better. I grew up having piercings and I don’t wear them anymore bc they are not classy

It's also a cultural thing. A lot of Indian women wear nose piercings

​@@feliznavidad6958cultural and traditional piercings usually look extremely attractive. But otherwise, they don't. Even a tongue piercing looks better than a nose ring

😅👌🏾

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I think the concern of long nails, unnatural hair color and too much jewelry screams “I need attention” elegance does not beg for attention. The same way an elegant dress can be cheapened by how someone carries themself, an elegant lady can be cheapened by what she wears.

You took the words right out my mouth with this!
