Right
from when I was just a little girl I’ve always had this warm fascination for
women who look effortlessly beautiful. I mean, you have to agree with me that
there’s something absolutely captivating about a woman who has distinct style
in appearance, behavior and movement. Guess what?! That something is actually termed
ELEGANCE!!
Yes
gorgeous ladies, today we’re going to talk about the beauty of being a woman of
style. A week ago I came across this stunning girl in a social gathering that
literally couldn’t find a comfortable way to sit down because her dress was
ridiculously short & tight (oh yea, figuring how to sit without making the
privates public became rocket science). The truth is there’s a patent
difference between ‘classy’ & ‘trashy’ and trust me when I say this; the
world will never respect a tacky looking woman hence no lady should desire to
look cheap.
Style
is an individual not a corporation; it’s the unique expression of your
personality through clothes, speech & mannerism. Consequently, just because
a certain fashion is trending doesn’t necessarily mean you should throw away
your individuality and go with the wind but of course you can sure assemble the
different components or pieces to create your own signature. For the sake of
this discourse please permit me to use Kate Middleton as our today's' icon of
elegance (for those who don’t know her, you may go ahead & Google). Kate is
painlessly elegant in the way she dresses, her outfits are never too short, too
long, too tight, too loose, too colorful or too dull, there’s just hardly
anything excessive about the duchess of Cambridge. Her makeup is never plastic,
her hairstyle doesn’t look like she killed all the women in India and stole
their mane. She walks all so graciously and her speech exudes nothing but
refinement. Now! That, I want to believe she is an embodiment of the word elegance.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not nudging you to become her copycat, that’s not the
point here. You my beautiful strong woman of virtue need to build your own
graceful style that isn’t influenced by our decaying society (in a manner of
speaking).
Few pointers to keep in Mind:
- Like Coco Chanel wisely said “less is more”, keep it simple & chic. Avoid dramatic infusion of colors or over accessorizing (you're not a masquerade)
- Don't be over generous to your face with the foundation, eye shadow, lipstick etc (it scares real men away). Always go for the fresh natural look
- Find a style that compliments your body type; every figure has its perfect fit. Always go for what you're comfortable in to spare yourself from embarrassing scenarios
- Be confident in your own skin & embrace the beauty of imperfection
- Be well cultured & polite. Remember this saying “ a good name is better than great riches”
- Have a pleasant sweet smell such as that of a flower. The scent of a woman speaks. volumes about her (you need to groom yourself pay particular attention to personal hygiene).
- Avoid unnecessary confrontations, don’t be too forward but always communicate your stands with poise.
- Cultivate a reading habit ( an enlightened woman is extremely appealing).
- Always wear a smile, a lady is not complete without her sparkle.
- Be a woman of prayer irrespective of your faith, it cleanses your inside which ultimately finds expression outside.
