The Art of Sitting

So, I've had this post concept in my head ever since I started this blog- it was actually the original "How to be a Lady" idea. But planned posts are for some reason difficult for me, that's why I have so few daily outfit posts. Anyhoo- here it is a year later-

How to sit like a Lady-

And every true vintage vixen from the Lovely Clara to the darling Mrs. Grable knew how to work a leg. But, surprise-surprise  the way we work those legs can cause unwanted affects. (And I'm not talking about cheesy come-ons from strange men)

Did you know that when a lady is cooling her heels after a long day of shopping is a perfect time to trade that extra sexy stance for a more librarianesque perch?

 

 True, the cross at the knee pose is certainly fetching and goes hand-in-hand with the idea of the vamp- a flash of thigh, the chance at a garter strap. But few women realize that sitting this way restricts circulation to your legs and is almost certain to cause the awful, dreaded, so unsexy varicose vein.
