What are you saying

Elegance
“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:


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

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 11:22

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.
