An example of great personal style

“Long before sunrise, Castillo was awakened by a commotion coming from the next cabin, where Daisy was ensconced. When she emerged from her compartment shortly before their arrival, he thought to ask why she had awakened so early. Then he realized that Daisy was perfectly dressed and in full makeup:

‘Is there a gentleman waiting for you at the station, Daisy?’ Castillo asked.

‘I did it for myself,’ Daisy explained. ‘It’s a question of discipline, you see.’”

There are many attributes to style: discipline, wit, resourcefulness, originality, verve. Tapert says that ambition has a little something to do with it. She doesn’t mind the word. “If a woman wants to have an interesting life, know interesting people and see the world, that takes a certain amount of desire and resourcefulness. That is what these women had. That is ambition and it is also style.” ~Taken from the book The Power of Style
