ELEGANT & BOLD

How do you be elegant and bold at the same time? I feel for myself that at times this can be a hard mix to master with your self presentation & expression. Especially when you want to present both to the public, what you consider bold can be perceived as loud or obnoxious. Or elegance can sometimes class with your bold behaviour. My favourite way of overcoming any insecurities in fusing elegance and boldness in my everyday life is by observation. Observation of people you admire, the general public, between your family or friends, and yes this period of observation may take up to a year or more because that’s how skills are acquired.

In my own view of how we are evolving in the present time of 2016, is that we want to acquire skills fast, public perception of your image must be master fast and well fast isn’t always best. Being able to take a moment to step back and observe your environment is brilliant skill to have. I guess that’s why I have stopped posting on social media on the weekends, I needed more time to absorb life itself without projecting it back into the world. If anything my 2 days rest have given myself a silence confidence I never thought possible, I feel more bold and elegant in my approach to my weekly tasks. And yes some people may argue that you need to be switched on 24/7, indeed I still am but in my own way.

What tips do you have for mastering boldness and elegance in your life?
