Elegance
"The hair is the richest ornament of women". Martin Luther
Bad hair day? For long hair: Tie it up in a french pleat and decorate it with a nice hair clip or head band. For short hair: small clips. Who said you have to wait for special days?
Etiquette
Want to know when your hair is completely clean after washing? run a few strands between your index finger and thumb. If it doesn't squeak, rinse again.

Your home
Elegance
You may elegant on the outside but that shouldn't stop your home being elegant also.
Add silks and satins to your bed linens, fragranced sachets to your closet and drawers, scented candles in your bathroom, a vase of flowers in the kitchen, a beautiful eye capturing painting to your living room. You'll feel peace, pleasure and satisfaction in your home.
Etiquette
If you're inviting guests to dinner always have snacks and refreshments ready just incase you're a little behind on getting dinner ready.

Be arrayed
Elegance
Every woman should have atleast these five simple dresses in her wardrobe:
The little black dress - for formal functions or dinners
A white floaty dress - For summers days, luncheons/barbeques
An executive dress- for interviews or Business meetings
A long elegant dress - for a ball
A colourful dress - can be worn on normal days and make you feel young
Etiquette
Suits you
There's nothing better than your personal touch. It's good to compliment someone on their dress but not copy them. Instead, be inspired and chose what looks good on you. You'll be more confident when you know what's suits you.

Shine
Elegance
"Let your light shine before men" Jesus Christ
The more you smile, the more approachable you are and in conclusion, the more people want to be around you. This goes for laughter as well. Happiness is the key to keeping strong friendships and a healthy immune system (it will defend you against colds and other unwanted illnesses).
Etiquette
It's polite to aknowledge someone when you see them. Even if it's just a smile and a short "hey." Friendliness demonstrates communication etiquette. Also, saying "Hey Katie!" instead of just "Hey!" makes the greeting more personable and also makes the person who you are greeting feel special.

What are you saying

“Who said ‘clothes make a statement’? What an understatement that was. Clothes never shut up. They gabble on endlessly making their intentional and unintentional points.” -Susan Brownmiller
Clothes talk for us when we don't talk. Muffin tops, cleavage showing, underwear on display, bra straps showing, these all shout out 'Hey, look what's underneath'. A no go area for an elegant woman.
Solution:

Solution:
Muffin top: keep the waist inside with trousers or skirts that fit nicely.
Underwear on display: Keep under the clothes! Wear a good belt, hipster cut underwear or make sure your top goes over the your waist.
Bra straps on show: A strapless bra or backless bra.
Cleavage: Keep this to yourself with tops that are cut straight across, or another suitable top underneath if the neckline is too low.
Etiquette
You don't only need to be poilte to others but be polite to yourself aswell. Exercise, eat healthy, have a good night's sleep. Taking care of yourself is the best self etiquette.

A good match
Elegance
Stand tall and upright
Make sure the inside of you matches the outside and vice versa. Imagine a beautiful woman with nice hair, immaculate make-up, and is well dressed but is loud in public, allows everyone to know her personal life, swears, gossips and bad mouths others...not a good match. Or a woman who is kind, helpful and giving but like to show her clevage, wears clothes too tight and shows her underwear....it spoils everything.
Discretion is respecting yourself and others around you. Look deep into you and make sure the outside and inside match.
Stand tall and upright
You don't have to stand like a Sargent Major but the correct posture in how we stand, sit and move makes a difference in how we feel, our attitude and speech. Slouching shows laziness and gives back problems, standing tall and upright shows a positive attitude, readiness and confident speech. You're back will also be thankful in your old age.
Etiquette
"As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion." Proverbs 11:22Make sure the inside of you matches the outside and vice versa. Imagine a beautiful woman with nice hair, immaculate make-up, and is well dressed but is loud in public, allows everyone to know her personal life, swears, gossips and bad mouths others...not a good match. Or a woman who is kind, helpful and giving but like to show her clevage, wears clothes too tight and shows her underwear....it spoils everything.
