More French Beauty Secrets

Madame de Polignac
From the Trianon Health and Beauty Blog:
The second French beauty tip I noticed after moving to France was  that Parisian woman are not thoroughly put together like some of us  Americans. Save for the rather aristocratic ladies who wear matching  designer suits, scarves, bags and shoes, most French women mix and match  to achieve an effortless look. This advice, ironically enough, comes  straight from Chanel herself. She once said, "Before you leave the  house, take one accessory off your body." This is a fine line. Simplistic elegance is the key – but so is accessorizing:
  • For those of you who never put on a necklace or a belt, or have  worn the same studs in your ears everyday for the last few years, think  about introducing a long strand of pearls with a navy blazer, tee and  jeans.
  • For those of you who align yourselves more with Elizabeth Taylor, try focusing on one main eye-attracting accessory at a time.
  • If you've got gorgeous earrings, leave the necklace at home.
