elegance
Pronunciation: /ˈɛlɪg(ə)ns/
The quality of being graceful and stylish in appearance or manner.
After I explained my header images and how they signify my ideal life, my beautifully dressed neighbour asked me to also clarify my moniker, Escaping Elegance…
A lot of words could be used to describe me (most of them good) but graceful and stylish will never be among them.
I think a big part of achieving success is setting realistic and obtainable goals. I know I am smart, hard-working, and an overachiever… but I also know my limits. I may be charming but I will never be chic; pure, but never polished; gentle, but never genteel; savvy, but never sophisticated.
After reading about my recent fall and my various bumps and bruises over the years, you can understand why my go-to phrase has often been, “Elegance escapes me.”
As I’ve matured and have begun to accept who I am, I’ve decided that sounds too passive. I no longer think that elegance escape me… I now believe it is me who’s escaping elegance.
Why the hell would I want to be chic, polished, genteel, or sophisticated? I’d rather just be me.
Escaping Elegance 
The blog name is actually Perfect. Now hearing the meaning behind it “perfectest” if there is such a word.
Thanks. That’s very sweet! (I’m not sure it is a word, but I’ll take it.)
Thanks for clarifying. Makes perfect sense. And I’d rather you be you too.
You da’ling are the epitome of elegance.
Thats the spirit!
Thanks!
