dressing with dignity

So I have epicly failed at updating this blog. I posted something on my personal blog, and thought it would be welcomed here as well.


It has become commonplace for girls to be able to literally show every part of the body. When that person isn't us, we tend to gossip and go on about how short their skirt was, etc. But until we do something about it (dress classy ourselves) we really aren't doing anything worthwhile, are we? When you look at pictures sixty years ago, women dressed with class, beauty and dignity. Women Girls don't do that anymore. They wear miniskirts and tops that reveal more than some swimsuits. (which is a whole other topic-don't get me started. I am having enough trouble focusing) When you wear a dress that actually fits, people take notice. I remember this summer Mom and I were in town, and people would kept staring at us. I could practically hear their stares. When you dress with dignity, people notice. Yes, it might be uncomfortable, and yes, people might stare. (but I bet they are wishing they looked as put together as you) Do you really feel insulted when someone says you look like Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly? And for the guys, if any read this blog, would you take offense at being labeled a Cary Grant?

Real Simple

I came across this fabulous magazine before leaving for my flight back to school. It has wonderful advice, from practical ways to re-use items around the house to recipes (that I had to skip over the flight since I was nowhere near any kind of eatery) to fashion. If I had a job I would definitely subscribe! :) One day...

Audrey Hepburn

Jackie O

Timeless.

[tee hee, I couldn't resist!]

I am absolutely in love with her wedding dress. It is so elegant.

I read somewhere that she didn't really like her wedding dress, but wore it to please her mother in law.

Just goes to show that being classy isn't only about how you dress.

Oh how I wish women still dressed like this!

Hat, gloves, pearls, and clothes that actually flattered!
