I'm bouncing around ideas with my friends. I think being a "kept" woman involves certain catergoies. How to look, how to behave in public, how to behave in private (at home), and how to behave with your man 
. What would your ideal kept woman look like? Do you think you could accomplish it? What would you need to help you better accomplish YOUR list? Off the top of my head this is what I have so far.....
How to Look
Be feminine at all times. Stray away from pants and pants suits. Focus more on being a woman, wearing clothes that women do. Dresses, skirts, and the like.
Clothes laid out for the week. I struggle with this but the weeks that I lay out and iron the clothes for the week I feel well put together, I have more time in the morning to think, and I look overally better.
Bright colors- Stray away from darker boring colors such as black, blue, and brown. If so, pair them with a fun, interesting, or bright top.
Matching jewelry- Invest in one nice necklace and bracelet to be worn with everything and strive to look out for necklaces that can be paired with your outfits (brightly colored outfits of course)
Hands and Feet Manicured- Feet not done? Don't show them. Period. If my feet are not done and manicured I should have a backup pair of ballerina flats I can wear that won't show my toes until I have time to tend to them. As far as hands, No chipped polished. I may need to keep nail polish remover in my purse and car to ensure my nails are not chipped.
Easy to maintain hair- Okay I get it. I don't care much about hair these days so Sew-ins and the like that require me to put forth effort in the morning can no longer be an option for me. Instead I need to plan my schedule accordingly to make sure I have a crochet style or braids in which I can get up or go. Whatever the style is....it should be feminine
How to Behave in Public
Thinking back to my mother...one thing I do like about her is the way she carries herself. People always wonder what is she like at home, what she does on the weekends, and what her husband does. It's all in how she carries herself.
Speak Correctly- Take the time to speak deliberately. Use correct grammar. Practice makes permanent. Often times I talk like whomever I am around to not seem like I am "one-upping" them. Instead I should be a woman of few UNEEDED words and use correct grammar 24/7 by talking cautiously and taking time to think before I talk.
Smile- It doesn't cost a thing to smile. Better thank God for that. There's Hope. Erykah Badu said it best. Smile and smile often. This means I need to stay up on my teeth whitening methods (I'm guessing including an in dentist teeth cleaning and whitening every 6 months)
Allow myself to be a girl- I can act very masculine. I open my own doors. I'm very independent. BUT I've learned from the board....if others wish to help you...let them. If a man is around...no doors should be opened in my presence.
Be Kind and generous but know your worth- Don't over-exert yourself. Do your job and do it well but don't overdo it.
Be clean- Look organized at all times. Don't have a bunch of papers falling out everywhere. Take a planner with you everywhere you go. Keep your car clean even if it means swinging by a car wash every Monday or Friday to keep up your routine. Keep minimal mess and look clean.
