     I've been awarded my own award by The Boyer Family Singers!  YAY!!

el·e·gant  

/ˈeligənt/

Adjective Pleasingly graceful and stylish in appearance or manner. (of a scientific theory or solution to a problem) Pleasingly ingenious and simple.

Synonyms smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine

Some people were asked what it means to be elegant-

"It means someone is very well dressed, well mannered and very poised.  If you've seen pictures or read of Jacqueline Onnasis Kennedy she was an example of elegance."

"classy, stylish, sophisticated, posh, charming .."

"Usually it means they look simple, classic and confident and they have a quite demur attitude."

"The way they present themselves and carry themselves. Very graceful, at ease with who they are, and of course, beautiful!"

"I think they mean graceful, not overly talkative. They wear clothes that fit well and are confident, but not flamboyant about it. They know how to appeal to people without being fake."
