A polka-dot suit with a perfect sheen, gorgeous hat, and a chewable strand of classic pearls (I’m more of a twirler myself). You can be perfectly fashionable and put together and still let your little quirks come out. You’ll still be stylish and you. I love that and hope I can accomplish that wherever I am (well I did do some funny things in my wedding gown after all).
What are your little habits?
I didn’t have time to see the Irving Penn exhibit at the National Gallery in London (until 6 June, 10 pounds if you’re not a member or eligible for other discounts). But if you’re in the area, check out 140 prints of one of the world’s most famous photographers and make me jealous.

Her quirkiness really makes this photo standout – just like our little nuances make us endearing!
being true to yourself is the way to achieve a stylish self 🙂 you are so right!
The lady is impeccable! What a great picture! I’m not sure what quirks I have that are my habits – but I’m often told some things are “so Vivian”… Happy Monday!

oh geez. so i am a hair toucher. I’m constantly moving my hair around. I wish it were a cute as this lovely lady has!
What a timeless and stylish look! Love it!
Fabulous black and white photo… the image made me think. I’m not a twirler… maybe I’m more of the chewer. Hahaha!
Have a great week ahead! xoxo
Irving Penn was such a talent; I adore this picture.
My quirks…I tend to pick out split ends that I find on the tips of my hair when I’m sitting down in public; and I am constantly peeling chipped nail polish! :/
I’m a hair toucher and a gum chewer. Don’t know ho attractive that is! Oh and I also put lipgloss on in public. Very not attractive 🙂
What a great photo. I tend to fuss with my hair, twirl it and such, if I’m wearing it down. I also play with my rings.
i’m with jessica — it’s our little quirks that make us all so endearing 🙂
i’m afraid my habit isn’t so cute… i’m a knuckle cracker. see, not so endearing. wish i could stop, but it’s impossible.
The woman in the photgraph is beautiful, pearl-chewing and all! I think this is the most any of us can hope to convey. Love it!
Amazing photo.
I touch my hair constantly!!! I need to stop! xoxoxo
Nail biting 🙁
I’m a hair twirler too!
P.S Come on over and check out my shoe giveaway!
Nice photo, she looks very glamorous but “real.”
I’d be better off chewing on pearl jewelry, I think. Better than biting my nails!
Oh, this photo is sooooo lovely. those dots are to die for. and just the confident she is sitting.
what a fabulous shot!
i twist and twirl my jewelry, particularly when i am nervous. it is quite the tell! 🙂
cute post! I’ve never thought about it but I think I tend to twirl my hair a lot when I’m thinking really hard. LOL!
I love how her hand is on her hip, her legs outstretched….very telling.
i love, love, love that dress. omg.
I very much want to go to the exhibition but haven’t just yet- it’s on the list!
Strange habits I have? hmm twisting my hair into curls if bored, otherwise I try and be still when I’m on show as it were
Beautiful style and photo! A polka dot suit is difficult to wear but that woman do it great!
This is a great photo.
I would say I have a bad habit of slouching, which is not cute or charming 😛
polka dot suit. wow!!! i wish i could attend the exhibit as well.
