Another thing that raised my brows is the part of Anna Bey's elegance cheat sheet, because I believe this is strongly subjective according to her point-of-view, though not gonna lie, I am quite upset that purple was included as colors can make anyone look cheap as that is my favorite color. Deep purple or violet to be exact. It is widely known that
purple is often associated with royalty, nobility,
luxury, power, and ambition.
Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.
When Anna mentioned PURPLE AS A CHEAP COLOR on her cheat sheet, I felt like glaring and raising my middle finger up on her because it's obvious she NEVER read. anything.

First off, not all women can pull off pastel colors PERFECTLY, because there are some women who would look bland on soft pink or baby blue. Also, I believe that it is quite unsafe to wear white because that's the color that can easily catch even a slightest dirt and make the dirt visible. Also, not all women can be brightened up by the white clothing of any kind.
As for the bright colors, well, let me give you girls an example. This lady below is
Love Marie Escudero (known to Philippine showbiz as
Heart Evangelista) and this is her, wearing green and hot pink. And speaking of the left picture, she even paired her hot pink coat with jeans and still managed to be classy.

So this lady is wearing hot pink and green, the "cheap colors" that Anna mentioned in her stupid cheat sheet. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what do you think guys? I may not be a huge fan of Love Escudero but isn't she beautiful? Plus fact, she was even featured this Youtube video
These Are The Real 'Crazy Rich Asians' | Harper's BAZAAR which features the life styles of some affluent people, including her. BTW, the affluence of the asians featured in this video are legit, and that was not acquired from whoring in the likes of Dubai or Ibiza or St. Tropez.
Interesting note though, she is the a restaurant
magnate (the Barrio Fiesta chain of restaurants) who belongs to a Chinese-Filipino clan, though they are not of the same level as the upper echelons like the Ayalas in the Philippines. While she was not a fashion icon when she started in entertainment biz, she progressed up to becoming one of the fashionistas in the Philippines. She even married a senator. She is an actress, philantrophist, singer and of course, a visual artist. You can go and try to contact her and have your Hermes bag hand-painted like these:

This is something that Anna Bey NEVER had. If she sees this, she will definitely die in envy. Hahahaha!
