Happy Monday to all, I hope your day is going alright. Well last night I decided to read some books from my kindle and I happened to pick The Ladies Book of Etiquette. It was a fairly good book and I wrote down some quotes I'd like to share. By the way I skimmed through it and am not finished with the book yet.. anyways..
QUOTES!
"A Lady is never so well dressed as when you cannot remember what she wears."
''No better advice can be given to a young person than to dress always according to her circumstances. She will be more respected with a simple wardrobe, if it is known either that she is dependent upon her own exertions for support, or is saving a husband or father from unnecessary outlay, than if she wore the most costly fabrics, and by so doing incurred debt or burdened her relatives with heavy, unwarrantable expense.
"If neatness, consistency, and good taste, preside over the wardrobe of a lady, expensive fabrics will not be needed; for with the simplest materials, harmony of color, accurate fitting to the figure and perfect neatness, she will always appear well dressed. "
"Neatness- This is the first of all rules to be observed with regard to dress. Perfect cleanliness and careful adjustment of each article in the dress are indispensable in a finished toilet. Let the hair be always smooth and becomingly arranged, each article exquisitely clean, neat collar and sleeves, and tidy shoes and stockings, and the simplest dress will appear well, while a torn or soiled collar, rough hair, or untidy feet will entirely ruin the affect of the most costly and elaborate dress."
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.1Timothy 2:9
Blessing to all,
