Preetika Verma vs Chanel

Its a pleasure, seeing people who are always impeccably dressed with powdered noses, dangling earrings, shiny straight hair and a pair of hot ballet flats, not to forget people who follow Chanel's famous aphorism without fail every single day: 'A woman who does'nt wear perfume has no future'.
It is even more intriguing how another breed as conscious about femininity and fashion hangs around in a pair of black on white thin-striped shorts with a soft baby pink snug t-shirt and flip-flops and hair scrunched up in a half pony.

Both the types mentioned above have just one difference: For the first lot fashion is defined by a string of pearls as popularized by Coco-loco or feminine drapes by Madeleine Violette or even signature Satya Paul prints. They would look prim and stylish (Black dress-meets-gladiator sandals) in a mall, at a movie, at a party, for brunch, while shopping, at the gym, at work- EVERYWHERE. And i'm proud of such women who are so motivated to look good all the time, well.. for people who'd turn around and say it comes naturally..lets just say, we all know theres no such thing as a permanent blow-dry and not everyone is blessed with a flawless peaches and cream complexion though for those who know the magic of Mac Studio Fix its very achievable.. add on a trip to the parlour every 15 days for those well manicured hands and feet.
For the second species fashion is who they are, its ofcourse how they dress coupled with the way they talk, their mannerisms, their passion at work and in relationships and how they manage to stand out in a room swarming with people- a lot of whom belong to the first lot. They would prefer a cute casual blue flannel summer dress with an off-white raw-silk satchel because the thought of putting on a their expensive LBD is (i'd like to credit Preetika Verma for these brilliantly logical explanations)  either too exhausting and over-the-top or a sheer waste of a beautiful garment for an occasion not befitting it. In fact if you observe well you'd find that unconsciously their matra is to remain slightly under-dressed. Even if they have fashion acumen and taste which is unparalleled they might want the effort that they put in to be worth-its-while for people and events worth the trouble.

I'd also want to leave you with a tip which might be of use to some of you: If you feel you are a person low on character and personality you must invest some time everyday to match your new pair of heels with the red dress in your closet (the one with hideous horizontal red lines on the black bottom border) ;)
