I think a smile fixes most things, and you have to keep your mouth shut to smile don't you???<br /><br />Jennifer, lovely to have you visit.<br /><br />Kathy, thank you for your comment. Posture is an instant improvement, and adding self-confidence really makes a difference. Other people can sense it.

They really do add a touch of je ne sais quoi.<br /><br />Kamani, thank you! I think so too. Actually making your face smile a little bit does make you happier. And who doesn't love that.<br /><br />Leslie, I'm so not laughing. I'm thinking of my lingerie drawer, wondering if it would pass muster. Such a good tip that I can't believe I didn't think of it. Time to go knicker shopping.<br /><br />Adrienne, love the eyeliner tip.<br /><br />Debra, a misty sprayer feels so good and makes your makeup dewy. I wonder if they still make those small bottles of Evian mist? I think I will employ that tip again this summer. Merci.<br /><br />Phyllis, thank you. I am excited because I picked up Operation Prince Charming from the library last night and will start reading it today. It started the first few pages as soon as I got it and the words draw you in straight away. Yay!<br /><br />Cherie, I like your style. Folk might wonder if it's a Jackie O chic lookalike out at the supermarket.<br /><br />Stephanie, this is such a great addition to the list. I always feel more chic AND make much better choices when I do this.

In a way, calculating my moves more and considering options before I do something like having lunch, or deciding to buy something. If I bring it down, become selective and delight in thinking with clarity, I feel more chic.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-42909527770767687472010-09-21T04:14:44.705+12:002010-09-21T04:14:44.705+12:00A very good list and I try to do many of those sam...A very good list and I try to do many of those same things. For me, dark wash jeans, heeled shoes or sandals, hoop or diamond stud earrings, hair pulled back, and dark sunglasses always make me feel chic when I have to run errands. Oh, and I need to start adding Hostess's suggestion: sexy, lacy lingerie!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661705838389866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-10671930353330780442010-09-20T23:34:03.625+12:002010-09-20T23:34:03.625+12:00I love your list!

I would add the fine mist of a water spray bottle about my face and body when feeling a bit fried.

And I would have to add black liquid eyeliner in a cats eye style - thin or thick depending on the lightness or darkness of the lip: thick line for a nude lip and thin for a darker lip. <br /><br />Great post, Fiona!Adrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-31367424186914573922010-09-20T12:10:35.002+12:002010-09-20T12:10:35.002+12:00You might laugh Fiona!
