I'm sorry in advance for the long post, but I tortured my eyes and ears to watch Anna's latest video, and honestly I lost brain cells
So for the sake of everyone keeping their brain cells:
The video starts with her talking about how she was in this "high end restaurant" and shows a poorly photoshopped pic of her and Ted at the table (interesting how Ted takes the place of the man LOL since she has no man anyways) and says that some couple came in and said they were in "stereotypical old money clothes" whatever that means and how they looked "like a cosplay" and they were "pretentious"-No, banana, they just have better taste and you're jealous and bitter you can't afford it
She posts some photos from the internet to show this "cosplay" and half of the photos aren't even "old money" since some of them were far too flashy (I'm sure I saw someone comment that somewhere but maybe the comment was deleted)
She puts some pictures of her "classic" and her "eleghunt" clothes (her words) and the old pictures are quite frumpy but the first black dress she shows actually looks half decent on her and doesn't make her look like a cheap prostitute-but this contradicts her whole eleghunt wardrobe thing by separating classic and eleghunt clothes-is she saying the classic clothes aren't elegant??? doesn't that go against what she said about dressing elegant all the time? Bad word choice, Anna.
She says her style is an elegant stereotype (um what does this mean) and she tries to "balance it out." News flash dear Anna, dressing like a granny going to the grocery store in pants and a shirt is not balancing out anything from dressing like a granny in a cheap linen dropshipped dress from your scam line.
Her "how to look expensive" content is now a series
she says (read: I made the same video 100 times over and it's a series now)
She also says how dressing expensive can backfire by posting a screenshot of a news article from Kim K's robbery and a cough cough in the background. Rather insensitive Anna, I get the whole "don't be flashy" but that point could've been made without the shady delivery. Not a fan of the Kardashians but that wasn't cool.
She talks about people dressing "too extravagant" and brings up the "rich people stereotypes" of large fur coats and diamonds. Anna, people are stepping away from fur because it's unethical. She brought up the Russian hooker starter pack as the "rich people stereotype" LOL Anna just admit you're jealous your bags are fake and you don't have a rich man to spoil you with said diamonds
She plugs her elegant stylist course and says how she "developed" elegant style personalities and plugs her style personality quiz.
She talks about the couple some more and I think at this point we should have started a game: Take one shot for every time Banana says "cosplaying", "stereotypical" or "pretentious" but I think us mangoes would be in the hospital by the halfway mark of the video.
There was also this comment which really resonated and some of the replies and other comments were speaking about people they saw and how they dressed relatively normally and another comment that mentions the concept of "je ne sais quoi" which maybe banana could use so she doesnt look like she has a stick up her ass all the time
More about how we should be careful of how we style ourselves to not look like a "caricature" (take another shot every time she says that)
FINALLY we get into the tips after 5 whole minutes of losing brain cells:
-watch her other video on why she hates the quiet luxury aesthetic
-try to make the items your own, make them fit with your personality and tweak parts that don't work
-mix it up with other styles
she says she personally doesn't opt for the traditional conservative style, which is true-she just opts to dress like a granny instead
-rule of thumb: always remove one item so you dont "over accessorize" with the old money style (what?) and replace with something less stereotypical
her example of this is her choosing a dress in denim or leather (the leather dress was so ill fitting and my god was it wrinkled and looked cheap) or a "casual" day is a shirt dress (featuring none other than the blue chanela of course) and "breaking up the elegance" with sneakers and she says it's like sweet and salty popcorn (at this point i want whatever she's smoking)
NOW the good part-a plug for her FREE workshop where she is in a bathrobe having a mental breakdown in her Ikea closet which brought me to tears because it's so funny.
So the last tip: "be careful with certain stereotypical attributes of the old money aesthetic: pearls, cardigans [etc]" and says there's nothing wrong with wearing these but just absolutely ripped on them for the past 8 minutes
What I learned: Being delulu is the solulu to being an eleghunt stylist, I give this video a 0/10 but the mental breakdown is a 10/10 for the memes
