Be absurdly classy.

It doesn’t matter how much people may try to goad me I refuse to be a REactionist. I shall not let you make me lose my head. GRrr.

I am getting really good at keeping myself in check and I shall use each situation I face as a vehicle for honing my classy attitude.

n.b I had a disagreement with someone unknown to me a couple of weeks ago that I dealt with so classily that I have not only become friendly with the person in question but was also complimented by her about the way I dealt with the confrontation. Cool or what!

to never again act in a manner that I am forced to look back on cringing at the recollection. I resolve to never act, say, do or partake in anything that does not sit with the Classy woman within

I am going to spend the coming month working on managing my feelings of hostility. This is not classy behaviour that I refuse to let over-power me.

Apologies in advance for the shallow trail to follow…

I popped into ‘town’ on Friday fully intent on splurging at the DWS. I had live cash in my bag and knew I would find it impossible to come out without a carrier bag in hand!!

I left after an hour and spent the remainder of the day DIZZY however. Why? I ‘invested’ in a gorge Nicole Farhi camel hair coat and paid a sick amount of money for it :blush: But I have no regrets! It is so freaking classy it is just wrong :p

I just need a postcode in Chislehurst to go with it hee hee

The best bit is I wear the coat as opposed to the coat wearing me. I really do have great taste.

As a treat for now being perma-straight I dressed like a classy goddess all week and it just felt so good :)

Can’t wait to do it all over again next week!

I have a really classy looking front garden. Especially now it doesn’t resemble a surburban jungle. Hee hee. The gardener commented on the fact that it could actually be classed as a danger. And here was me thinking my poor front gardern only had the eye sore label to dis-engage from. LOL

Just need to tackle the back garden now, but hey what the eye can’t see and all that!

Can’t believe how this has just crept up on me!

gone an done it again haven’t I :p

Its starting to almost be second nature. Almost, but not quite there yet of course. Still have a bit of the ‘ghetto’ streak in me. Hee hee

It seems that the preceding thought in a classy’s person’s mind when confronted with a tensive situation is to create a platform ripe for communicating. That means listening and never retaliating to words spoken in haste in kind. It means having an active interest in diffusing such a situation.

I never realised that my ‘classy issue’ has been primarily with my behaviour/lack of control; always allowing myself to become volatile in charged atmospheres. Given myself permission to go ‘scatty’ and justifying it as my right to defend myself with words. Well in retrospect it was just an opportunity for me to turn into a verbal attacker and wounding people.

I don’t want to ‘heal’ you but I also don’t want to make your pain any worse -

And here I was thinking I just had to wear the right garments, the right shoes, carry the right bag and use the right lingo – I now realise that all that is elementary…

note to self:- Of all my goals, I never thought that this was the one that I would truly conquer. Why? Maybe I thought I had nothing to conquer but I guess no-one can delude you like you can!

I conducted myself in a manner that I cn only class as classy. I now realise that to be classy is to be charming.

I made a split second decision today in what was looking to be an explosive situation, decided to react in a different vein to what I would normally do and the result was amazing. Totally different to what I would have achieved from my old ways of being. Classy people are open and the less defensive I become the more classier i will be.

i am not aggresive, i am not defensive, i am not a problem fermenter (just made that up.lol) -

I will show you respect. I will listen to you and not only that I will take responsibilty for any hurt or ill feelings I might have caused another.

I like being classy. or at least learning how to be. tbh i thought that i could pull it off with the shoes and bags alone :p

Less Anger & hostility and a little more grace & acceptance.

I shall deign to practice this!

I love having women come up to just to make comments on my dress sense/attire or sense of style.

Its so kool to know that people notice these things and believe in their head that I am a ‘certain’ kind of person. Yes, maybe all they think is I dress well but that’s good enough for me!
