Seven Ways to Stand Out in Society!
In a world full of ladies searching for husbands of their own, it can often be difficult to stand out — especially if you've always considered yourself bland or uninteresting. Fortunately for you, bland and uninteresting ladies often make the best of wives, but that doesn't make getting to the alter any easier! Witch Weekly is here to help by offering seven ways to stand out in society (without making a fool of yourself!).

1. Be mysterious. While this tip may seem to contradict your efforts, it's proven to work time and time again. Do not let everyone know of your blandness; instead, allow them to wonder what hidden depths you may be hiding — you're sure to capture the attention of a gentleman that way! Besides, gentleman love a challenge.

2. Diversify your wardrobe. Use your blandness to your advantage: ladies who are always extravagantly dressed rarely turn heads with their fashion choices, but the same cannot be said for women who are relatively conservative. A slightly lower neckline, an unusual accessory, or even a pop of color can bring eyes to a lady usually garbed in grey.

3. Embrace your interests — publicly. While ladies are often expected to present the image of the perfect, delicate flower, there are gentleman out there who prefer ladies who break from the mold. We would certainly not encourage scandalous behavior — keep to your chaperons and modesty, lest you end up like the disgraced Miss Scrimgeour — there is nothing wrong with showing bookishness or interest in an unconventional topic that may catch a gentleman's eye!

4. Volunteer. Being a debutante may be exhausting at times, but if your efforts still prove unsuccessful, there is nothing wrong with finding something to occupy your time with rather than attending the first ball of the evening! We may not all have the resources to be philanthropists in our own right, but there are plenty of organizations, including hospitals, that need volunteers. Who knows: you might meet a handsome healer!

5. Align yourself with social butterflies. To align yourself with more interesting ladies might seem like a very poor way to prove your own worth, but showing prospective suitors that you are well-connected might just be the way to convince them to take you as their bride! Not all men want a wife with a fully-booked social calendar, but may appreciate the advantageous connections that come from a wife with popular friends!

6. Become an expert on something, be it astrology, parlor games, or a specific author! Ladies are expected to be able to hold a conversation on most topics, but being able to lead a conversation might attract the eyes of a potential suitor!

7. Travel more! There's always more fish in the sea, but you might be trapped in a net you never knew was there! If your efforts to find a husband close to home prove unsuccessful, visit other places. Try the countryside if you live in the city, or the city if you live in the country; you never know what man might be waiting for a woman like you!
Dull doesn't equal undesirable! Using our tips, you just might be able to find that special someone!
