ELEGANT & SIMPLICITY

Elegance is a synonym for beauty that has come to acquire the additional connotations of unusual effectiveness and simplicity. It is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness particularly in the areas of visual design, decoration, the sciences, and the esthetics of mathematics. Elegant things exhibit refined grace and dignified propriety.




Simplicity is the state or quality of being simple. In some uses, simplicity can be used to imply beauty, purity, or clarity. Simplicity may also be used in a negative connotation to denote a deficit or insufficiency of nuance or complexity of a thing, relative to what is supposed to be required. Here are a few tips how to be elegant and simplicity.

1. Be confident. Tell yourself you're beautiful, intelligent, and that you know what you're doing.

2. Focus on your look. Keep it simple and classy! Don't go out in pants hanging around your knees or shirts that don't fit. Wear neutral colours or colours that look good on, in simple styles that fit you well.

3. Jewelry should be simple. It should go with what you are wearing and doing. Don't wear chandelier earrings while you're working out!

4. Don't act dumb just for the sake of it. Often times, people act dumb to stand out. While you may stand out that way, it won't be in a way you want! Be careful also not to act like you know everything about every subject. Talk about subjects you truly know about or say you don't know much about the topic. Your honesty will be appreciated.

5. Interact with everyone. Being elegant is all about being mature, which means no arguing with people and no bad-mouthing. Be nice and friendly to everyone. Make the effort. Don't swear.

6. Be real and be yourself! Don't try to be something you're not just to prove to people how elegant you are - it will backfire.

7. Have good table manners. You must have impeccable manners. Don't slurp any kind of liquid. Keep the napkin in your lap when you're eating. USE your napkin though, whatever you do don't suck on your fingers one at a time. It may be okay at home, but it's not acceptable in public. Don't talk with your mouth full. Get a few books on manners from the library. Miss Manners is the most popular series.

8. Compliment people. Don't take it too far and compliment everyone on something, but do comment if you think Mary's new handbag is gorgeous.

9. If you want to be elegant you are going to wear very little makeup. Only wear concealer if you need it, a dusting of powder to keep the shine down, some mascara, and pale pink lipstick or lipgloss. You do not need foundation.

10. Good choices for nail polish are pale pink, clear, or a french manicure. But remember that any colour can look elegant, it all depends on how you carry it off. Don't rule out any colour - including black - unless you don't like it. Look at some photos of celebrities' nails at events. They wear all colours, including black, green, and orange, and many of them still look elegant.

11. Don't do anything stupid, like drinking too much or agreeing to do drugs because someone tells you it'll make you more popular. Have morals and stick to them.

12. Be confident. Spread your wings and talk to people. If you want to know someone better, just introduce yourself. Try to find something about them that you can talk about. Say that you liked the point they brought up in class or at a meeting, or talk about a piece of jewelry or clothing they're wearing.

13. If you are talking to someone focus on what they're saying, even if it's boring. Gently try to change the subject as soon as you can, but never tell them "this is boring, let's talk about something else"

14. Use your manners on the phone, too. Don't answer and say "What do you want?" or be rude to them at all..
