No matter what socioeconomic background you come from, or what headstart (or lack of it) you have had in life, most people can appreciate a touch of class and luxury.
It’s not necessarily tied with money, in fact it’s a quality and standard of holding yourself that is much more than your surroundings.
Holding your head high, keeping eye contact with those you meet, shaking hands firmly (in less risky times), and keeping your word can help anyone regard you as a classy individual, no matter how much money you have in the bank.
Bringing a touch of class into your lifestyle, then, whether as a one-off treat or something that you aspire to, can be a great way of curating and prioritizing your ambition.
But how may this be considered, then? How can you ensure that this kind of class touches you, and how should you even prioritize chasing it? On what should you spend, or how might you move forward with this kind of ambition?
Finding your personal look is definitely a process. If there's one thing I've learned from growing up and re-finding a look that felt right at different times in my life, its that style is a journey, not a destination.
Whatever kind of looks you have or might be keen to have, one thing that you should always try to bear in mind is that it’s always perfectly possible to look stylish. In fact, any of us can look stylish as long as we approach it in the right way, and this is something that a lot of people need to be aware of.
So how can you begin to discover your personal vibe?
It might not be 2021 yet, but I’m already mapping out my goals for next year. Goal setting, especially at this time of year, is definitely like Marmite - you either love it or loathe it - but I’m a person that thrives on having a clear plan.
Ultimately, this year has been full of challenges, and although I’ve tried to take the good from it all, I’m looking forward to a clean page in 2021.
Making plans never fails to cheer me up and raise my energy. Although 2020 has taught us all that the universe laughs at our intentions sometimes and that we should expect the unexpected (who foresaw face masks and social distancing back in last January?), setting goals doesn’t mean you can’t adapt and go with the flow.
So what am I going to try and implement next year?
