C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E

It is better to by loved by yourself than loved by others.
(but lets shoot for both)

In an interview with Lily Aldridge, one of my favorite VS supermodels and a leading authority on all-over-sexiness, Lily was asked what she thought made a woman sexy and, surprise surprise, she answered confidence.


What is the difference between the fairly pretty, or even dull, and the va-va-vivacious? Why is it that some women feel perfectly comfortable wearing no makeup whatsoever and others find the need to layer it on to go to the gym? Let's examine...

Definition of CONFIDENCEDefinition of CONFIDENCE

a : a feeling or consciousness of one's powers or of reliance on one's circumstances b : faith or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way



So, I guess it makes sense that you would have a faith in yourself, that you will look and act appropriately according to yourself. It is not merely enough to act in a way you believe to be proper if you are concerned that others around you will not share those same beliefs and look down upon you. So, therefore, you must alway have your own approval in order to be confident. At least, thats what I believe.

I recently realized that women in their thirties are often more attractive than women in their twenties due to their own self-realization. Cecile de France from the movie Hereafter was a great example to me of this. She is a pretty woman to be sure, however, the qualities that to me that take her from "pretty" to "beautiful" are ones that are drawn from self-confidence. She is strong, she is direct, she keeps eye contact without flinching, these are traits born from a self-assured and confident woman.

Choose a woman, whom you know personally or a celebrity, and try to emulate some of these qualities and see if you can't "fake it 'til you make it".

You are beautiful,
xoxo cass
