Step 1: Buy timeless ensembles that flatter your figure.
Audrey Hepburn had a 20 inch (50.8Â cm) waist so she made sure to buy dresses that cinched at the waist.
If your arms/shoulders are your best assets, wear tops/dresses with roused/cinched sleeves.
Black, white, and pastel pink should be signature colors (and if your totally serious...the only colors) in your wardrobe.
You should NOT wear tube tops, denim, any rough material, anything 1 inch (2.5Â cm) above the knee, anything with a neckline over 1-1 1/2 inches below the collarbone, fluorescent colors, or anything that Lady Gaga would deem appropriate.
For makeup, the cat eye look (it's on YouTube, look it up) is good or for more conservativeness, just a touch of mascara, powder, and lip gloss will do.
Your jewelry should be diamonds, pearls, any stone, silver, and gold.
NO plastic preteen jewelry. -

Don't kiss and tell.
In fact, try to actually BE conservative, not just pretend.

Shirts with inappropriate sayings, logos or sexual innuendos can make a girl look like she's desperate for attention.
Classy ladies are not desperate for attention. , This shows politeness.
If you talk very loudly, it will seem that you're desperate for attention.

Who do you think gets the break when her homework isn't turned in one day? Teachers are harder on a girl who admits to spending two hours doing her nails than the one who is usually consistent. , If you really want to know who is well brought up and classy, look at how they treat their inferiors (the people below them on the social ladder), not their equals or superiors. , Classy girls leave their surroundings in a condition at least as good as they found them.

And when others do favors for them, while stuck-up or spoiled people assume it's only to be expected and ignore others' assistance, truly classy people are quick to notice and to express their gratitude and their appreciation. , Read classic literature such as Emily and Charlotte Bronte, Charles Dickens, Sylvia Plath, and other great writers.
