Back to Elegance

                            

            
All of a sudden everyone is going vintage and it’s amazing. It is elegant, stylish and classy - exactly how fashion was intended to be.
For many years women enjoyed looking good and elegant, but gradually as the centuries went by women started putting more emphasis on looking sexy than on looking elegant.

A major factor responsible for this change in mentality is the sexual revolution and the popularization of the birth control pill. 
In the 1960’s women started seeing themselves more as sex objects, they were not afraid to show skin and because of ''women liberation'', they felt they were fighting for equality by burning bras and revolting in ways that really have nothing to do with fighting for liberation.




It was also in the 20th century then that the mini skirt and shorts were invented and popularized, and many young ladies started wearing them.

Many think that you liberate yourself by being scantily clad or to fight for respect and equality, you dress like a sex object but they don’t realize that this sexualisation makes men control women even more and use them as objects of pleasure and because women encourage this mentality by their dressing men feel  less guilty doing so.

Wearing tight clothes, showing cleavage and wearing short clothes means you are free for all and even women who are not ‘free for all’ - ‘Christian women’ ‘mothers’ find themselves still dressing like this all in the name of fashion.


Vintage pieces take us back in time to when women were dressed with dignity, although some vintage dresses are now made short or transparent but wise women will take their time to look for elegant pieces.

It’s not easy to stand out and to be trendsetters in this fashion crazy generation but it is worth it at the end, and  then men see you they feel compelled to threat you with respect, some just feel they should open the door for you just because of your dressing, or feel compelled to leave their seats for you.

We will like to be seen as precious pearls and treated as such so lets dress like our skins are made of pearls.
