Quaintrelle et la mode
As season roll in and roll out and designers showcase their spring and winter lines, fashion is an ever evolving beast with many facets and many appeals.
So how is the quaintrelle supposed to dress?
... Any way she wants.
It is my firm belief that a quaintrelle has many liberties in the manner she expresses herself. In fact she can quite easily become a style icon without much effort, because instead of dressing for the world she dresses for herself and that makes the world take notice and follow suit.
For the aspiring quaintrelle the problem isn't what style she chooses, it is that she have the courage to wear that style, no matter how the world will receive it.
Confidence is a trait all quaintrelle should have in their arsenal of weapons. To live a life of passion she must not dwell on insecurities or negative criticism. She must always trust herself and wear what feels and looks good to her, no matter what others think is "fashionable" or chic.
The quaintrelle is a woman of style not fashion

Crochet
I am passionate about my handicrafts, and by definition a quaintrelle should live her life with passion so it is my belief that any good quaintrelle should dedicate a portion of her time to making some sort of beauty. I have many passe temps that take care of this requirement for me.

Bienvenue
"A woman who emphasises a life of passion expressed through personal style, leisurely pastimes, charm, and cultivation of life’s pleasures. Quaintrelles are not female dandies; rather, they share the same philosophical underpinnings of dandies, developed within feminine nature and styles"
