Steps Toward Visual Impeccability

In Our daily strivings toward the Impeccable, the easiest steps to skip are those toward physical Impeccability. One hopes that all will see One's impeccable mind and forgive a ragged manicure and scuffed shoes. But One should not give up hope. There are shortscuts toward being impeccable, that your own Miss Impeccable has been working on.

First, it's much easier to be impeccable in a classic wardrobe. Miss I. has started to acquire such dreamy items as black patent leather mary janes, pencil skirts, delicately pleated blouses, and classic trousers. Fall's new lines are very lady like and make bargain hunting so much easier, without resorting to jeans and tees and mall looks.

The recent humidity is the bane of impeccability. One's hair can only be as glamorous as the air is dry. Defrizzing balm can cure some of these doldrums. A simple bun or classic braid can also tide One over in a pinch. The return of impeccable curls is only a few weeks away, when the weather is more amiable.

And for today's final hints toward impeccability, One's handbag. Large totes are great for work, but social events call for a little more style. Try the new clutches. They require more work with all the carrying than a shoulder bag, but those efforts are more than rewarded by the appearance of impeccability.
