It can apply to speech, behavior and dressing. <br /><br />Maybe elegant dressing includes dressing in a refined way regardless of where you are -- like even when in the comforts of one's own home, or in the company of folks at a squatter resettlement area, the tshirt that one is wearing doesn't have a hole or isn't ripped.

But these blue shoes are just really cute because they're in a very nice shade of blue, as if saying, "Hello there! It's a beautiful day!" I think the blue is shimmery too hehe. :Dpetrufiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669854080010018951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043188379744567844.post-90884559744130963842009-11-22T16:07:02.317-08:002009-11-22T16:07:02.317-08:00P.S.

About being polished and elegant all the time, I think it is possible -- unless one's definition of "polish and elegance" is Jackie O level of dressing and accessorizing :-) I think it's really a matter of dressing appropriately in every situation and maintaining that refined attitude no matter what.sunnydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866905031172910302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043188379744567844.post-312161907075374202009-11-22T15:53:50.128-08:002009-11-22T15:53:50.128-08:00"There are two ways for a woman to turn heads..."There are two ways for a woman to turn heads by the way she presents herself. She can either look polished and elegant or trashy and wild. Both are effective but only the former commands respect."<br /><br />I couldn't agree more! What power huh? <br /><br />I learned recently that a basic part of good dressing is presenting oneself as a person, not as an object. Maybe some women who unconsciously present themselves as objects see that they attract more attention (admiration?) when they dress that way. Could be they elicit curious gazes from men, quips like "wow, ganda naman ng backless low-cut micro-minidress mo! you're the sexiest chick on a 10-meter radius!" Haha!!<br /><br />Nice piece you wrote here. Interesting blue shoes, too ;-) Me naman, I'm fascinated by red shoes.sunnydayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15866905031172910302noreply@blogger.com
