5 More Ways to Keep it Classy in a Trashy Society (Part 2)

Author.    On.   


In part 2 of how to keep it classy in a trashy society, we explore more coping mechanisms for big decisions and daily life.

My first post on the subject was popular and stirred up quite a discussion on YouTube and the blog.



Before we begin, I would like to address two things:

1. When I say "trashy", I am referring to the behavior, not the person.

2. The use of the word "classy" is also deliberate. There really is no other word to replace this, and I use the two in juxtaposition intentionally on these articles.

5 More Ways to Keep it Classy in a Trashy Society (Part 2)

👑 Don’t subscribe to groupthink Be an individual and think and act for yourself. Peer pressure is hard, no matter what stage of life you are in. Don’t subscribe to group think. In today's video I give you three examples of how not to blindly follow the herd if it doesn't feel right for you. The key here is to align yourself with people who have your same values and life goals.

👑 Don’t choose celebrities as your role models. Of course, this doesn’t apply to every celebrity, but if you think about Hollywood, celebrities are often desperate to remain relevant. Because of this, they will do and post outlandish things to remain in the headlines. This never translates well in real life. Instead of looking to certain celebrities for role models, find real life role models who inspire you with the elegant way they live.

👑 Live your real life way more than you do your virtual one. I recently published a video called, 10 Ways to Keep it Classy on Social Media. If you struggle in this area, I highly recommend you watch that video. With social media so addictive and prevalent, people are completely attached to their phones and their virtual reality personas. Instead of constantly chasing the likes and follows, ditch social media on a regular basis. Detach from it. Refrain from posting so much. Keep it classy by living your real life more than your virtual one.

👑 Embrace community. For the most part here I am talking about family life. We’ve all become disconnected with each other. When dinnertime arrives are you all sitting down together at the table enjoying a relaxed dinner and lively conversation? (no phones, no TV on in the background?) Or is everyone in their own room eating their dinner in front of their computers? Classy people connect with others and have a joie de vivre about them. They embrace the present and enjoy the finer things in life, which, by the way, are mainly experiences. So yes, a Tuesday evening dinner with your family could be an experience categorized as a finer thing in life.

👑 Embrace formalities. Be a refreshing contrast to our overly casual society and stand out for your formalities. Formal manners, dressing, and behavior aren't old and stuffy mannerisms. Embracing formalities will help you stand out from the crowd and give you an elegant boost to your life.

In today's video, I'm wearing the cashmere v-neck from Mott & Bow code JLS10 for 10% off, a silk camisole from Lilysilk code Daily12 for 12% off, and Aurore pearl earrings from SKYE code Jennifer20 for 20% off.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on today's video.

10 Ways to Keep it Classy on Social Media

Author.    On.   


In today's video I'm sharing 10 Ways to Keep it Classy on Social Media. Social networks are constantly evolving and the etiquette for this field is ever-changing. Today's video is meant to act as a guide to keep social media usage on the healthy side. I am looking forward to reading about your experiences using social media below.



Here are my best tips for keeping it classy on social media:

👑 Don’t overshare Avoid over-posting on social media. Keep it classy by living your real life way more than your virtual one. Detox from social media if this is something you struggle with. You don’t need to update the world on your day several times a day. Save some things. Hold them back.

👑 Be mindful of what you do share Be careful sharing pictures of partying and/or drunken antics, swear words, etc. You never know how they will come back to haunt you later.

👑 Don’t tag people without asking permission first We have all been tagged in a picture where we look highly unflattering. If you plan to post a picture on social media, it's good manners to run it by everyone else first.

👑 Consider your children’s privacy We all love our children and think they are the greatest, best-looking, smartest kids in the whole world (I think that about mine ☺️), but that does not mean we need to post everything about them on social media. Guard their privacy. If your children are older, ask how they feel before you post something about them. If they are too young to understand the implications, just consider erring on the side of privacy.

👑 Don’t steal someone else’s thunder Are you a guest at a wedding? Don’t even think about posting a picture of the bride before she herself posts. Someone in the family is pregnant? Don’t announce you’re going to be an aunty before the couple announces the baby. Your relative just got an amazing new job? Don't break the news before they do. In short, don't steal someone's thunder on social media.

👑 Don't be reactive I've learned this one the hard way. For many years, on social media, when I received a direct attack, I would not only respond, but react. I try not to do that anymore. It never looks good and it isn't classy behavior. To be a class act, keep your cool and don't be reactive. If someone leaves me a negative comment now, I generally ignore them.

👑 Don’t overly promote your business on your personal page It's totally fine to mention your work and business every now and then. Certainly celebrate accomplishments and milestones, but if you plan to promote your business on a daily basis, consider starting up a separate business page. Many people go on social media to connect with friends and family and they don't want to be marketed to all the time.

👑 Don’t post passive aggressive posts If you have a problem with someone, but you are afraid of confrontation, avoid posting passive aggressive posts about the person or the situation. We've all seen that vague, yet sarcastic meme that we know is a dig at someone. Avoid the drama. If you have a problem with someone, go to them directly with your problem. Don't take to social media first.

👑 Don’t be a troll The internet can make us feel bolder than we would in real life. Many times people will casually say something on social media they wouldn’t dare say to someone’s face. Don’t be a troll. If you have a complaint, make it in a polite way. No all caps, name calling and 10 exclamation marks please.

👑 Don’t make yourself look totally different than you actually look We all use filters. I use them too. They can brighten up an image and yes, make you look better. But don’t go overboard. We’ve all seen strongly filtered and/ or photoshopped images of people. It totally alters the way they look. To keep it classy, embrace how you really look. You’re handsome and you’re beautiful just the way you are.

5 Ways to Keep it Classy in a Trashy Society

Author.    On.   


If you've read certain news headlines lately, you might agree that society has gotten a little bit trashy. You might have noticed this in the way people dress, speak, and entertain themselves. It can feel awkward to remain classy in a trashy environment, especially if you don't like to draw attention to yourself. In today's video I'm going to share 5 ways you can keep it classy in a trashy society.




👑 Tip #1 Always take the high road. ALWAYS. This, of course, is easier said than done. When someone angers you, it is the natural and easier thing to appeal to our baser instincts and lash back out at them. We naturally want to defend ourselves. But to keep it classy, you should always pause before reacting and react in the most gracious way imaginable.

👑 Tip #2 Watch your tongue. Swearing has gone mainstream. In order to keep it classy, keep your language clean. It’s never OK to swear in a public place where children are present. It’s also not OK to swear in a business setting in front of customers. Set yourself apart from a trashy society by keeping your language clean.

👑 Tip #3 Maintain an air of mystery. You will often see celebirties sharing intimate details of their private life. Things that might be better left unshared. Whenever you share something online, ask yourself what your intention is behind the share. This will prevent you from oversharing in a way that is not meaningful.

👑 Tip #4 Look presentable always. Dress in our society has become extremely casual. Find your true individual style, and express that on a daily basis with class. It doesn’t matter if you are bohemian, preppy, classic, minimalist or any other style. Put some thought into your wardrobe, and by doing so you will be keeping it classy.

👑 Tip #5 Cultivate your mind. One of the hallmarks of a trashy society is dumbed-down entertainment. And lots of it. Mindlessness proliferates. People are content with being couch potatoes and watching trashy reality tv shows full of arguing, back-stabbing and the latest scandal. Instead, elevate your entertainment and cultivate your mind at the same time. Return to reading good books, classic literature. Enjoy poetry, listen to classical music or jazz. The top 40 hits are oftentimes laden with curse words, vulgarities, and other low-brow concepts. Move away from it by cultivating your mind. For more on this, I do a monthly chic assignment that incorporates many of these concepts.

These are just 5 ways, but I could go on and on. Let me know if you'd like to see a part two to this video. Also, let us know your thoughts on how to keep it classy in a trashy society and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week. In addition, my third book, Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic, is an excellent resource for classy and poised living.

Comment of the Week
Thank you for your reviews of Connoisseur Kids on social media and online. P. Johnson writes, "This is a timely book that clearly and succinctly guides children (and adults!) in good manners and explains etiquette in a fun way. There are easy games to play to reinforce what is being taught, such as “look a person in the eyes when talking with them.” Jennifer is a kind life coach in areas such as communication, hygiene, and manners, to name a few. I think parents and children will enjoy reading and playing the games together. She also lists many alternative ideas to having screen time as one’s default mode! I hope many people purchase and utilize this excellent book."

P. Johnson, thank you for your lovely review. I'm so glad you are enjoying Connoisseur Kids!

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed today's video. I would love to hear your triumphs and struggles with how to keep it classy in a not-so-classy society.
