"Classy girls aren't wealthy in money or material things. Classy girls are wealthy in knowledge, love, & respect. I believe every girl is a classy girl."
Although there is no right way to be a classy lady, I do believe there are some qualities that every girl (including myself) should seek. Here are ten endeavors that I think are worth everyone's time.
1. Always say "please" and "thank you" with a smile.
A woman who is respectful to others is automatically 10 times more appealing, and if that woman is always wearing a smile... well gentlemen, better grab her while you can!
"Happy girls are the prettiest." -Audrey Hepburn
2. Listen to others with your mouth closed.
Sometimes, the best thing to say is nothing. There are some situations that don't require your opinion. Make sure when you're listening to somebody speak, you are really listening.
Even former bachelor, Ben Higgins, knows when to keep quite and just listen.
3. Live life like everyday is an excuse to dress up.
Sure apparel isn't everything, but sometimes looking good makes you feel good. Don't be afraid to overdress. Life is short, so make every outfit count!
Dress like your inner Marilyn...
4. Find a monogram you fancy, and put it everywhere!
I believe a monogram says more than a name, and I will use it any place that I can. In the wise words of Reese Witherspoon, "If it's not moving, monogram it!"

5. Stick to one fragrance and always smell nice.
Your perfume defines you whether you realize it or not. When you wear the same fragrance over and over, people will start to recognize your scent. So make sure you leave behind a pleasant one!
Spritz away darling!
6. DO NOT R.S.V.P. to drama!
Drama is never a good thing. A lady does not involve herself in places where she has no business being in. She is mindful of the situation and offers help without encroaching her boundaries.
The amount of time Grace Kelly has for drama...
7. There is a fine line between being honest and being rude. Do not confuse the two.
When asked for your opinion, take in consideration the other person's feelings. You should always tell the truth, but you should always be polite too. Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out.
Don't get caught wincing at the sound of your own words.
8. Before you speak: know what to say, when to say it, and when to stop.
A lady should be able to speak her mind, but in order to be a lady, her mind must always be filled with thoughts of good will. If you want your opinion to be respected, then make sure what you say is respectful.
Sometimes, you just have bite your tongue and stop talking.
9. Have more than you show, say less than you know.
There is never a need to flaunt everything you have. Remember, nobody likes a show-off. Some things should remain private, it keeps the mystery alive.
Gotta keep Scooby-Doo on his toes!
10. Elegance and dignity will enhance your beauty!
Be wise with your words, ruthless with your knowledge, and caring with your actions. Sit up straight and sip your coffee you classy lady, for you are forever beautiful!
Meet me for breakfast at Tiffany's!
No matter who you are or where you're from, you are a classy girl. It is not the material you wear that makes you a lady, but your essence. Hopefully, you enjoyed this week's post! If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly.
Keep your head up and stay classy darling! Fill your life with nice shoes, warm smiles, & plenty of dreams With Love, Maria

The school year is finally winding down, but there are a few things that need to be done before leaving for summer break. Throughout my first year here at Penn State, I learned a lot about college and myself. Although my experience has been lovely, there is always room for improvement. This blog post is all about my personal guide to moving on to bigger & better!
1. Have a solid support group
I believe this is the most important part of moving on. There are just some things that aren't meant to be done alone, and this happens to be one of them. Surround yourself with true friends who will support you no matter what. Sometimes, talking it out with someone who cares is the best way to mend a wounded soul.
2. Remember to cherish what you have
Whether you're having a beautiful day or a lousy one, you should always be grateful for what you have. Every morning, you should start fresh and give yourself the opportunity to really live. Let go of that negative energy to make room for a grateful heart.
3. Make yourself a priority
Although it is important to consider other people, you also need to do what's best for you. If you seek approval from everyone, you will never be able to move on. You should never settle for anything less than happiness. Only you can truly make you happy.
4. Be kind to the people around you
No matter how angry you may be, you should never take it out on the people who care about you. They are there to help you, and the least you can do is appreciate what they have done. Spreading kindness is a delightful way to not only lift somebody else's spirits, but yours as well!
5. Don't let the past define you
Everyone makes mistakes, that's what makes us human. You should never hold yourself to a standard of perfection. There are always things that you regret, but there's nothing you can do about it now. What happened in the past already happened. The only way to move on is to learn from your mistakes. Accept that you're not perfect, and let it go.
6. Keep a positive outlook
Even though nothing may seem to be going right, you have to keep on keeping on. You didn't come this far, to only come this far. Moving on is a journey that molds your character, and builds strength. If you allow yourself to grow and be happy, then the rest will come naturally.
7. Be proud of yourself
No matter what people say or do to you, they can never take away your self worth. You need to realize you are amazing and there is nothing that can change that. Never doubt yourself, even if other people seem to be doubting you. You know who you are and what you want, and at the end of the day, that's really all that matters.
Moving on doesn't mean you forget about things. It means you have to accept what happened and keep on living. Remember: this isn't a process that happens overnight. So, keep on fighting my friend! I'm rooting for you!
I really hope you found this post in some way helpful. Feel free to leave any questions or comments. And if you want, leave any advice you think is worth sharing! Fill your life with nice shoes, warm smiles, & plenty of dreams With Love, Maria |
