[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half Pak/Kashmiri, half white.  I guess I have my feet in both worlds.

I personally:

Avoid too much jewellery.  I like jewellery a lot but when I stand in front of mirror before leaving for the morning, I always take off one piece

Tasteful makeup, not too bright or too much.  But always some makeup.

No crazy colours on nails, but I'll still do navy nails, dark burgundy, bright pink etc.

Good quality clothing, ideally lined, for smooth sleek fit.

Styled clean hair, well brushed but not too much hairspray.  Movement is good.

Honestly the rules so to speak for women regards of race, are universal.  [/quote]

Omg please stop. These "rules" scream WASP, and they're not universal.

Jewelry ... stop parroting a Nazi sympathizer. In Africa and South Asia, yellow gold jewelry is a beautiful marker of elegance. Visit these places, get enlightened.

As a Black woman, bright makeup looks great and elegant on me. I don't know what a "crazy color" even means re: manicures, but speak for yourself.

Hairspray? Barely a thing in my culture, and some of our natural hairstyles don't always have movement. Doesn't make them not elegant.

Your rules are boring. Not elegant. Let that brown girl magic side pop a little more.[/quote]

I agree with the above. Not universal at all. Brown skin women look very elegant with bright colors and gold jewelry. Go for it! White women don't usually go for that look simply because it doesn't look good on most of us. Plus, women in the DMV dress pretty terribly. Maybe you need to find inspiration elsewhere.[/quote]
