I am not alone in my belief. The belief: Women of substance can also be women of material style, without apology.
I believe there exists a prevailing stereotype that a smart woman can not and should not be a stylish woman. Females in hard sciences are expected to be intellectually savvy and fashionably ignorant. Wrinkled clothing, sweat pants, ill-fitting clothing are welcome and may even boost your perceived intellectual ability. Ladies holding positions of power or influence requiring great mental capacity are expected to minimize any indications , whether in the political, corporate, or academic worlds, of actually loving and being fluent in the style world.
Not everyone thinks this way, but I am sure there are many who do. A sexy, smart, stylish woman will never sacrifice substance over style but can always mix the two effortlessly.
I was in Atlanta this past weekend to attend a graduation ceremony and returned home a little under the weather. While I was there, I took a pic of two of my sexy,smart, stylish partners in style on their way out to participate in graduation celebrations.
