Classically Abby - 12 Things You NEED If You Want To Be A LADY! ｜｜ The Classic Girl's Guide

00:00:00.000 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about

00:00:04.560 12 Things Every Classic Lady Should Own. 1.00

00:00:10.120 I'm so excited to share today's video with you guys because I think that there are certain

00:00:14.720 things that most modern people don't own or at least don't have a nice, pretty, dainty,

00:00:21.140 feminine version of, and having these items makes you feel like a classic woman, and it

00:00:27.140 is the nicest feeling. So I really wanted to share these things with you. I will say that

00:00:31.840 these are things that I've collected, and these are things that I didn't have growing

00:00:36.020 up, nor did I even have before I was married. Some of these I was actually introduced to

00:00:40.540 by my husband, and then I just found maybe some feminine versions of them, or I'm just

00:00:45.120 using other things that he brought into our marriage. But it's things that I love having

00:00:49.900 as a lady and as a woman, and it will make you feel much more ladylike and feminine and

00:00:55.140 make your home feel beautiful to have these small items just in your house to use whenever

00:01:01.320 you want. And I'm so happy I own these things, so I really wanted to share them with you today.

00:01:05.600 I'm really excited to get into this list. I will link what I can down below, but I'll

00:01:10.300 also link some things that I just think are pretty and that I think you should try. So

00:01:14.020 I'm really excited. Let's get into it. The first item I think every classic woman should 1.00

00:01:18.880 own is a ring holder. So my mother-in-law actually gave this to me when Jacob and I got

00:01:25.060 engaged. It was a place for me to put my ring, which I thought was so sweet. And this is such

00:01:30.400 a classic piece to own and to have and to use in your house because every time you're

00:01:35.860 in your kitchen and you're about to do something with your hands, you're going to want to take

00:01:39.800 off your rings. So this is just a beautiful piece that you could get, but you can get different

00:01:43.720 kinds of ring holders. They're all different styles, and they're just little dishes that you

00:01:48.800 can put your rings in. And it's a place where you'll always remember that that's where you

00:01:52.580 put your ring instead of just putting it willy-nilly anywhere. And then, oh my goodness,

00:01:56.760 like where did I put it? I forgot. No. With a ring holder, you always remember. And it's

00:02:01.340 also nice for guests because when they come to your house and if they need to wash their

00:02:04.980 hands, they have a place to put their rings. So I really love having this. This one is just

00:02:09.560 really beautiful, but you can get any kind of style, and it's definitely a great addition

00:02:14.480 to your home. The next thing I want to talk about is something I actually have to get

00:02:18.260 from back here, and that is perfume. I think a classic woman should have at least one kind 1.00

00:02:24.240 of perfume that's just her scent and that lingers on her skin. And I absolutely love this Toca

00:02:30.280 Simone perfume for the spring. So I've gotten this question from a few of my followers, so

00:02:35.220 I wanted to mention it here. If you're looking for a spring perfume, I think this is just absolutely

00:02:39.700 lovely. It's Toca Simone, and I think this is a lovely scent. It doesn't last on the skin

00:02:45.560 forever, so if you're looking for something much more long-lasting, this wouldn't be it.

00:02:48.780 But this is a great scent for spring, and it's such a pretty bottle too. And having a perfume

00:02:53.780 bottle that just sits on your countertop, it's so pretty and feminine and delicate. So I think

00:02:59.240 that having a perfume is absolutely necessary if you want to feel like a lady. The third thing

00:03:03.880 I want to talk about today is a thimble. So I actually got this thimble from an antique store,

00:03:09.820 and I absolutely love it. I think it's so beautiful. And I never had a thimble, but I

00:03:15.540 would sew and I would hurt myself because you're poking through the fabric with a needle and you

00:03:20.760 don't have anything to stop it. And having a thimble is actually really useful, but you can

00:03:24.700 get such beautiful thimbles from so many different places. You don't have to just use the plastic

00:03:30.000 one that comes in your little kit. You can also get them from antique stores, from vintage stores.

00:03:35.720 Really, there are so many different places. And this one was, I think, 99 cents or something,

00:03:39.900 and I just love it. So owning a thimble, it may not be popular, but it's something that I think

00:03:45.020 every woman needs. And I think every woman should know how to do just a little bit of sewing, at 1.00

00:03:48.540 least to put on a button. I mean, I just think that's useful. So learn how to sew, number one.

00:03:53.100 And then number two, get yourself a thimble. The fourth item is slippers. I think having a comfy

00:03:58.600 pair of slippers to walk around the house in is such a nice little luxury. And these are Uggs,

00:04:04.080 but I also have a pair from Target. You don't need to go fancy with your slippers, but just having a

00:04:08.520 pair that you love, that you think are pretty, and that are comfortable, and that keep your feet warm,

00:04:13.620 so that when you're walking around the house, you don't have to have bare feet on cold hardwood

00:04:17.720 or whatever else it is. Having a nice pair of slippers is just so classic, and it's so nice.

00:04:23.160 I mean, if you want to go really classic, you can get the really fancy vintage-looking slippers that

00:04:28.080 are like a little heel and have a little puff on the front. Those look great. Those are really feminine

00:04:33.700 and really fancy, and they're the kinds that women would wear back in like the 40s and 50s with

00:04:38.900 long nightgowns. Stunning. So I would absolutely be a proponent of that, but even if you just want to

00:04:44.340 have just the nice little luxury of having just comfy and cozy slippers, that is something I think

00:04:50.480 that every classic woman should definitely own. Oh, are you wondering what the next one would be? 1.00

00:04:55.520 It's a pocket mirror. Having a pocket mirror is the nicest thing, because I think looking into your

00:05:01.580 phone camera is... I hate it. I hate looking at my phone camera to check my makeup or to check my teeth.

00:05:06.820 Having a little pocket mirror that you can just kind of check things, and it's a mirror and not

00:05:12.180 trying to use like your front-facing camera is so much better. I love this little mirror. I got it

00:05:17.620 when Jacob and I got married, and of course it says Mrs. on the front, so I think it's just really cute.

00:05:23.000 And you can get these anywhere. You can get them at vintage stores and get a really beautiful one,

00:05:27.620 or you can get a more modern one. But having one of these in your purse is just really useful and

00:05:32.040 helpful, and it means that you don't necessarily have to go to the bathroom. It means that you don't have to

00:05:35.840 use your phone. You actually have the thing that you need, which is a little mirror in your purse.

00:05:41.280 The sixth thing on this list is a butter dish. I love this butter dish. I've mentioned it on my

00:05:46.220 channel before. I got it on Amazon. I love the color. It's like Tiffany blue. But having a butter

00:05:51.380 dish is so nice. I never used to have a butter dish growing up. My parents never had a butter dish.

00:05:55.920 They didn't leave butter out. And so we would always have to be scraping the butter off for our toast,

00:06:01.680 and it was the worst. You'd dig holes in the bread. I hated it. And when I got married to Jacob,

00:06:06.060 Jacob always had a butter dish, and he would always leave out his butter, and it was so smooth

00:06:10.160 and nice to put out on our bread. It was just easy to spread. And so getting a pretty butter dish,

00:06:16.280 it's just such a nice addition to your kitchen. And if you get one that you love the appearance of

00:06:21.200 too, you'll like it being out on your counter. And I love the appearance of this, so having this out

00:06:25.260 on our counter makes me really happy. And it also just is so useful because I can actually have

00:06:30.520 butter that is ready to spread. So I recommend having a butter dish if you want to be more classic.

00:06:36.260 Oh, what time is it? Well, it's watch time. So number seven is having a watch. I've mentioned this

00:06:41.640 again on my channel before, but having a watch I think is one of the more classic things you can do

00:06:45.420 because it means you don't have to look at your phone to get the time. If you're sitting at lunch with

00:06:49.780 someone and you check your phone, it just looks horrible and it looks really rude a lot of the time.

00:06:54.780 But if you glance at your watch, it's just a little bit more subtle. You can also do it,

00:06:59.040 you know, in a way where they don't really notice. But also just having a watch on is always a nice

00:07:02.680 addition to any outfit. And having a beautiful watch, one that you love, one that goes with

00:07:07.780 whatever you're wearing, is a really nice addition to your jewelry closet, to your wardrobe. And I think

00:07:14.200 having a watch is one of the most important accessories that men and women should have. I think that

00:07:20.340 all people should own watches and wear them regularly. Now, do I wear a watch every single day?

00:07:26.140 No. But if I'm going out with people, I try to put on a watch just because I think it's useful. And it's nice

00:07:32.180 to be able to reference the time without pulling out your phone. Number eight is an apron. So this is an apron

00:07:38.200 that I got on Amazon. It's really cute. It has a little cross in the back. And I really think having an apron

00:07:45.160 is important. If you're not wearing an apron when you're cooking, things will splatter on you and then

00:07:49.120 you have to do twice as much laundry. And who wants that? So having a really nice apron that you think

00:07:54.420 is cute and makes you feel pretty, that's just a really nice addition to your kitchen and to your

00:08:00.360 life. And also, if your apron gets dirty, that's what it's meant for. That's what it's supposed to do.

00:08:05.460 I felt bad when I got a stain on this apron and then I realized that's why I bought it, so that it would

00:08:10.440 get stains on it and I wouldn't get stains on my clothes. So having a pretty apron in your kitchen 0.82

00:08:15.540 is a wonderful thing that you will always feel good about putting on when you're about to cook.

00:08:20.520 Let's talk about coasters. So this is number nine. These are our coasters that we got in Omaha.

00:08:27.380 And I love these coasters, but we have so many coasters around our house. And having coasters

00:08:32.380 available to everyone in your home when they come and they want to use a dish and they want to put

00:08:37.560 something down is a really important thing to have as a classic woman. Because you want people 1.00

00:08:41.720 to feel comfortable putting things down on surfaces. And if there's coasters available for everyone,

00:08:46.460 then they won't have to ask you, they won't have to worry, they won't have to forget, and then maybe

00:08:50.660 leave a water ring on a table that you really didn't want a water ring on. So having coasters is just

00:08:56.160 really important. I think these are not the most feminine. These are just fun. But if you want to get

00:09:00.500 some really feminine, beautiful coasters, there are so many different kinds you can get. Amazon has great

00:09:05.300 options. I'm sure you can get them pretty much anywhere if you take a look. And having coasters

00:09:10.280 available and ready is just a great thing to have. Number 10 is pearl earrings. I've got them right

00:09:16.320 here. I love these pearl earrings. I did a sponsorship with the Pearl Source a few months ago and they

00:09:21.060 sent these and I love them. And I think every classic woman should have a pair of pearl earrings. 0.95

00:09:25.600 Pearl earrings are so beautiful. They're so classic. And they are a great addition to your wardrobe.

00:09:30.760 They go with pretty much anything. You can dress them up, dress them down, and having just a

00:09:35.240 pair of pearl studs is always going to be a great part of your jewelry collection. So I definitely

00:09:41.480 recommend having that as a classic woman. Number 11, I'm going to say this without actually owning it 0.99

00:09:47.260 because I think I should own it and I'm upset at myself that I don't. And that is a letter opener.

00:09:51.960 I think having a letter opener is such a beautiful classic thing to own. I think you can get really

00:09:57.300 beautiful ones. You can get ones that are your style and that will make every letter you open feel

00:10:02.640 special. And I don't actually have one and I regret that. But I wanted to mention it because

00:10:07.440 I wanted to show you guys. I don't always get everything right. I am not perfect. But I aspire

00:10:13.220 to be more classic. So I would like to own a letter opener. I think that would be a really classic

00:10:18.440 addition to my life. And I think that every classic woman should own a letter opener. So I will link a few 0.99

00:10:24.980 down below that I'm interested in purchasing and you guys can check those out. And the last thing I

00:10:29.360 wanted to mention is a schedule or an itinerary. I love having an itinerary. I love having my calendar

00:10:36.380 and being able to lay out the whole month and then also be able to go day by day. I know many women do 1.00

00:10:41.720 it on their phones. That's also fine. But I find that having the written out paper version of a

00:10:47.900 calendar is so important. And I just, it makes me better at sticking to my schedule throughout the day.

00:10:53.720 And it also makes me better at remembering appointments. So I think that having a really

00:10:59.400 beautiful, whatever style you like, because there are a million styles of calendars that you can get

00:11:03.780 nowadays, really beautiful schedule and itinerary for yourself is a really nice thing to do. And
