In regards to women's fashion, Shareen Mitchell, owner of Shareen Vintage, a vintage clothing store in downtown LA, had this to say about charm:
Charming, Darling; these are words that interest me.
At Shareen we are about peter pan collars and big and little bows.
We are about the classic length dress, both full and slim in the skirt.
I love the synonyms for charm:
"fascinate, captivate, entrance, enrapture, ravish; allure, bewitch."
Yes. Excellent!!!
Note that the word sexy is not there but that it is implied.
This is the new way, my friends.
The overtly sexy is just not that alluring, nor entrancing.
It has become just old and out.
Have them say of you, " She is charming.
She is just darling. She was simply bewitching
in that little dress with the bow at the neck."
I like that.
Charm is for the girl that shows little of the very much that she has.
She knows her worth.
She knows her power as a woman.
She is coy, keeping a small smile on her lips and a twinkle in her eye."
