Life is competitive; clothes gird us for the competition.

Marlene Dietrich and Roy Rogers are the only two living humans who should be allowed to wear black leather pants.

Many women have asked me if it is possible to have a well-built complete wardrobe on a limited budget. "Money," I tell them, "is no guarantee of taste and the fitness of things, and an overstuffed closet is often as bare as a skeleton when it comes to wearable apparel."

As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.

There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.

Clothes are the way you present yourself to the world; they affect the way the world feels and thinks about you; subconsciously they affect the way you feel and think about yourself.

Many faux pas of fashion can be avoided if you curb your instinctive desire to buy things with your heart instead of your head.
