Meant to say even if you are NOT thin.

Nice skin--go to a derm. You can't fake good skin.

Be/stay thin. Not skinny, but a healthy thin. Your clothes should, if anything, be a little loose. NEVER tight.

Feet should be groomed, and your shoes should be quality.

Hair should be healthy and neat. Trim the ends. Better to have no highlights than to have bad ones.

Good posture.

Your bag should be the appropriate size. Like your clothes, better to be a bit too big than too small and over stuffed.

Also, have straight, clean, and healthy teeth.

This is a great list of classic ballet flats at various prices. The Lanvin flats are on my wish list. http://www.brit.co/ballet-flat/

Could you recommend any nice ballet flats for me? Bags? Sunglasses?

DO NOT highlight your beautiful black hair. It will look terrible, be obvious and grow out and be even more obvious. The key is healthy, shiny, swingy hair. Also -- no "short" cuts. A bob is fine, but nothing shaggy anywhere. Nothing that you get because "I love it because I just don't have to do a thing to it." Doom.

Never this:


Even worse:

-note the terrible highlights.

Are you a guy? I don't know, but something about the way you describe "beautiful black hair" just doesn't sound like how a woman describes herself.

Anyway, I'll bite and give you options at different ranges.

Ballet flats: Tory Burch, Tieks, Lanvin or Louboutin

Sunglasses: Ray Ban Aviator, Chanel Signature or Prada, Tom Ford

Bags: LV, Goyard, Balenciaga, Chanel, Hermes

All of these styles also depend on your age and what style you personally like.

Why? What's the point? If you're not actually rich, you're blowing money for nothing. Your shallow-ass new friends will soon sniff out that you're not One of Them and dump your maxed-out-credit-card butt.

Do something useful with your life. Jeez.

Then go get expensive highlights. Make sure you're very thin, though, or it won't work.

All fine except for the Boden top. Doesn't make the cut.

I love you.

Where is the "executive" thread. Which forum?

Our nanny , who is not rich, "looks" rich. She is trim with great skin and hair. She wears basic clothes from the Gap. She has a good eye for quality so she buys shoes and bags at places like tj Max's that look expensive. She's South American. More often than not she looks like the employer and I look like the employee!

OP - serious question, why do you want to "look rich". I've got several millions in the bank and happily wear middle class clothes, carry a no-name bag, etc. I look attractive but definitely don't look like the "rich" snots you're trying to look like. What's the point? What are you hoping it will get you or do for you? (I really do mean that as a real question despite my use of the word snots)

NP here. And yet she is a nanny and works for you. See what PP means? What does it matter how she looks? She's not going to become someone's trophy wife, even if she looks put together.

I agree with PP that OP needs to do something with her life that's not copying rich people. Pathetic.

Agree. I'd argue that the people who cultivate that look are usually not rich but are certainly strivers.

Actually it totally does.
