There is something about the sight of a long gown and updo that signal instant elegance (even if the updo is pink!)

A luxurious material in a beautifully shaped gown will automatically make the wearer of the gown instantly elegant.  Similarly, a statement piece of jewelry or a beautiful accessory can bring instant sophistication.

While outward elegance can be somewhat easily achieved, it is important to also display inward elegance as well.  Elegance is an attitude and humility, understanding, and poise are key components of this behavior.  We can’t be elegant all the time, but we can certainly try to and strive to be elegant.

Have a great week lovelies!

    These are amazing dresses, I love them!! We can be elegant as we can, it’s not always found in a long gown, we can take care of ourselves and dress as well as we can. No jeans and stuff like that, haha. Having good manners is elegant as well. This would be a great start for many people, haha 😉 I hope you have a fantastic new week doll xox

    Graceful poses and the way a long dress drapes is almost whimsical, wouldn’t you agree?
    Elegance is a characteristic that never goes out of style and I feel it is such a positive trait to have and aspire to.

    What a great post and I couldn’t agree more.Being elegant on the outside can be very easily achiven but also can fool others easily.But like you said inward elegance is a hard thing to achieve and most of people lacks of.

      Yes, I definitely agree that outward elegance can be easy to achieve, but inward elegance takes more work! Thanks for dropping by and have a lovely week!

    There’s something really awesome about wearing an elegant ballgown and jumping on a diving board before splashing into a pool. I love that photo!
