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.

Actually it totally does.

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

Do something useful with your life. Jeez.

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!

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.

Where is the "executive" thread. Which forum?

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

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.

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.

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/

Also, have straight, clean, and healthy teeth.

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.

Meant to say even if you are NOT thin.
