Step 1:
-
Buy the basics
-
Buy the basics, and accessorize. Buy plain, black blouses, tops, trousers, and then adapt them yourself.
Don't be afraid of dresses- they are your best friend. They make you look feminine- and ask yourself, when did you last see a vulgar dress? If it's cold, or the dress is short- leggings always work

Step 3:
-
Style over comfort
-
Never ever do comfort at the expense of style. You must suffer- just a little- to be pretty. If you want to be comfortable - just stay in.

Step 4:
-
Accessories
-
Beads are always in- but never more one string, the collar bone is a bed for the beads, and the beads should accentuate the collar bone. The same with necklaces, less is more.
-
Step 5:
-
Make Up
-
What is most important is the glow of the complexion. You need to look pure and clean. Just enough concealer, not too much make up. You should be able to get by with a make up kit which only has a kohl pen, concealer, and blush.
Never get carried away with make up. Eyeliner yes, never eyeliner and eye shadow together - it stinks of effort, must be natural- think of Brigitte Bardot, not Amy Winehouse.

Step 6:
-
Always remember
-
The image you are going for is: feminine, confident and self-possessed, but not a whip-cracking, ball-breaking bitch: at all times think graceful, think elegance- je ne sais quoi.
