This one is for the girls.<\/p>\n

I see the trend to be more casual, more androgenous, less formal. Oh, yes, honey, I do. That’s one step closer to forgetting how beautiful we are. Go to a musical or classical concert in jeans? Unforgiveable! Greet your husband after a long day of work with messy hair and wearing your frumpy old pajamas? Where’s the romance in that?<\/p>\n

What this world needs is more women who know how to dress up. It doesn’t really matter if anyone agrees with me or not. I don’t mind being the only one to wear a skirt to an event or just around the house. Dressing nicely makes me feel happy.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my tips for feeling feminine, despite, well, anything.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wear body spray or perfume. Not too much, just a hint.<\/li>\n
  2. Wear one piece of jewelry besides your wedding ring. See how it makes you feel.<\/li>\n
  3. Never wear sweats all day long, unless you’re painting and you need greater range of motion.<\/li>\n
  4. A little mascara, blush, and lipstick makes anyone look better. It doesn’t have to be a lot of makeup. Just a little is best.<\/li>\n
  5. Find something that makes you feel beautiful and wear it often. Shawls make me feel beautiful and they keep me warm because I’m usually cold. Yes, even here. “Can I take your wrap, madam?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"fashion,<\/p>\n

    You didn’t even notice the messy room behind me, did you? That’s the power of the wrap.<\/p>\n

    \"fashion,<\/p>\n

    Wal-Mart. Target. Instant glamour for $5? Genius!<\/p>\n

    \"two<\/p>\n

    I walked into the post office today with confidence, wearing a necklace, some makeup and shoes with a hint of heel. I had my little ducklings all around me and on my hip. I’m not saying that anyone noticed me. But I<\/span> noticed. And that is what matters.<\/p>\n
