I always make sure that I look my very best every day. I always pick out a nice blouse, skirt, shoes, and then I add my accessories. I wear perfume every day.
But being elegant does not mean you have to have money or beauty. The only thing that is required is good taste. Earlier last year I read a book called A Guide to Elegance. It gives several tips on how to be elegant and what it means to be chic. In the chapter called “Budget” it mentions this:
“With careful coordination, good taste, and self -restraint, even a tiny budget can permit you to be surprisingly well-dressed. For example, here is an outline of a complete but basic minimum wardrobe.
For the Winter:
1 basic coat
1 black skirt
1 sweater in a complementary color- for example beige or brown
1 silk sweater, black or white, with a pretty neckline
1 pair of back high-heeled pumps
1 pair of flats
1 black leather handbag
1 pearl necklace
With these few items, you will be equipped for work and dates. Enjoy!!
