Now that summer is upon us, the temp is rising, the breaking of sweat is imminent, and our pace slows as well. As a people watcher, I find great enjoyment watching the way people dress, walk and carry themselves.
Poise and posture is so underrated but it is an essential accessory to our overall image. Picture this; you see a gorgeous woman dressed to the nines, hair perfectly coiffed, fab shoes and walking from a car to into a party. She’s walking extremely fast and heavy footed…not too graceful. What do you think her entrance into the party is going to be like?
Surely she will have worked up a bit of a “glisten”, definitely she will looked hurried and a little skid-dish. Now, envision the same woman walking with head held high, slow long gates, sitting back on her heels. Her look; graceful and confident…intriguing. You cannot help but admire her.
There is an old etiquette rule -that a lady never runs. Honestly, unless you are very late for an appointment or it is part of your exercise regimen, why are you walking so fast? Do you remember the scene in the movie “Miss Congeniality”, where her coach teaches her to glide..instead of walking like a gorilla wearing combat boots? The walk isn’t just for beauty queens, it is the finishing touch on your impeccable, memorable style.
Slow down …and savor being fabulous.
