Polka Dots Galore
We have a love for everything polka dot! If you haven't noticed, it's all over the fashion world, and rightfully so. It's such a classic, yet sophisticated accent for any outfit. Polka dots look great on every woman, just don't over-do it! Keep the polka dots to only one article of clothing per outfit! And don't forget to add a touch of color with the classic black and white polka dot prints! Mix "the dots" with color! Red is always a great "go-to" color!

Closet Organization: Close It or Closet It
Written By: Ooh La La (Danielle Marie)
Even with an incredibly busy weekend, my husband and I (mostly my husband) were able to organize several area of our house! So I thought it was appropriate to discuss closest organization based on our temperaments. How do you organize your clothing closet? Does your temperament have anything to do with your system of organization? Do you prefer to keep your closet door closed or open? It's all on how you organize it!
http://provocmanners.polyvore.com/
Choleric: A typical choleric will more than likely organize their closets based on type of clothing and color. They find it easiest to choose an outfit by organizing each piece of clothing into a similar category such as shirts, sweater, dresses, etc. and then each category is placed together by color. Sorry choleric, you are the most anal-retentive without being an over the top perfectionist! Is this too extreme?
Melancholic: If you are wondering which temperament has the highest degree of perfectionism? It's the melancholic, who are extremely thoughtful and consider various options before making a decision. Their closets are typically not all similar as color may work better for some and organizing by type of clothing works better for others. However, their closets are the most meticulous as they are extremely concerned about keeping the condition of their clothing in pristine condition. Way to make us look bad, Melancholic!
Phlegmatic: This is the temperament that would more likely prefer to close their closet door rather than keep it open. A typical phlegmatic is the most likely to not have a specific organizational system. They are extremely dutiful, but oftentimes put organization to the wayside. If they have become accustomed to a disheveled closet, it will be very difficult for them to change their methods as they don't prefer change. Stability is comforting. Who doesn't like comfort?
Sanguine: We all know the sanguine love the social life and this is exactly how they organize their closets. It's all based on future social events, dressy sweaters near cute skirts or dress pants. Work clothes will be put together for the days at the office and fitted tees/denim are organized together for those casual events. Only a sanguine will understand this method of composition. Way to make it all about the social events even arranging your closet, Sanguine!

Feminine Appeal! Bethenny Frankel or Kate Middleton?
Written By: Ooh La La (Danielle Marie)
What makes a woman a woman? What makes her ooze with femininity?
Is it her presence? Her love of life? Her style? Her charity? Her personality and character?
Here at Provocative Manners we decided to pick two women who passionately love life, style and work for the well-being of others! Now you may think that Bethenny Frankel and Kate Middleton are completely different women, and we totally agree, but they have each made a huge impact in their own way and with their own feminine touch!
Read about Bethenny Frankel's health and beauty routine at this link: http://theblush.com/2012/03/26/bethenny-frankel-interview/
Bethenny Frankel has a passion for adventure! The adventures of life, family and business. She has succeeded in ways no one believed was possible, except for her! Bethenny is a true lover of life and a passionate entrepreneur. The Skinny Girl Founder may have an edge to her, but that's what makes her an excellent buisness woman, mother, wife and friend. When she commits, she commits with every ounce of her being. What a wonderful trait for a woman to have!
http://smallbusiness.aol.com/2011/03/21/bethenny-frankel-cashes-in-on-skinnygirl-brand/
The Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) has been the talk of the world for several years and surprisingly she has been able to keep herself grounded. After all, the Duchess does deserve credit for that, she did marry the Future King of England. Not only has Kate kept her poise, etiquette and sanity during her over-exposed life, but she has also contributed to several charities/foundations and doing all of this in fabulous style. Yes, Kate Middleton has become a world fashion icon! Who can really argue with that? Don't be jealous and caddy just because she always looks amazing. The best part, she buys High Street Fashion! We can all appreciate that!

What's the lesson here? Do you know who you are? You don't have to be an exact replica of another person, but sometimes others may have amazing traits that we can try to emulate and use in our own lives. Everyone wants to be the "complete package", every woman wants to have it all and do it all, but sometimes it's best for us to find out what our strengths are. What makes us the woman we are? And how can we work to improve that woman, not only for ourselves but for our families, our friends and our lovers. How can we give back to those in need? Your "complete package", whatever it maybe, is what makes you ooze with feminity. So, have a personal presernce of love, character and charity and portray your feminine appeal!
