Step 1: Size yourself up. Look at the good, the bad, and the really bad. True elegance begins with honesty, and half the battle is already won once you admit that you aren't perfect. In addition, imperfections are often what make a person stand out among the ordinary...Step 2: Make your own chic list. Once you've looked yourself over, make a list of areas you'd like to focus on, such as wardrobe, home, or interactions with others. Come up with examples of people who seem to pull it off. You'll realize that elegance is attainable, and comes in all different shapes and sizes: classic, refined, relaxed, modern, even slightly tattered.
Step 3: Fake it. One of the best ways to acquire elegance is to try some on for size. Audrey Hepburn, for example, claimed she didn't rely on any particular acting technique, but found that the clothes she wore were immensely important to conveying a character. She said it was "often an enormous help to know that you looked the part. Then the rest wasn't so tough anymore." In the same vein, trying on a new look or attitude can actually help you attain your goals. If you can imagine where you want to go, you stand a much better chance of getting there." - The Little Pink Book of Elegance
Simply put, realize who you are, realize who you want to be as a person & be who you want to be. This goes the same for that beautiful figure of yours. Realize what you've got, be proud of the good spots and equally, the not-so-favorite spots & dress it so the best areas are shown off for your age & lifestyle. xx.L

That is fantastic insight and coupled to that in nearly all situations, confidence is the key.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's no secret that confidence is the key to any success be that in business, in relationships or in any aspect of life. No one is looking for the timid person, or the shy type. Nobody is interested in the person who can't stand up for themselves, or the person who's always looking for affirmation. People are looking for other people who believe in themselves and looking your best, with what you have, will always enhance this confidence. Yes, you walk different, talk different, and people respond to you differently.
The biggest mistake most people make is wearing clothes that are too baggy. As a man I believe that your clothes should just touch your body without being tight. When you look good, you feel good.
Once again excellent insight.
