We all get a little rush of excitement at the prospect of buying a brand-new outfit for a first date, but this is not the time. You're much better off wearing clothes, shoes especially, that you've already tested.

Some girls on the street don't have a lot of money, but they have the best style. It's not about being able to buy everything in the store.

Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.

Style is like a muscle: you have to exercise it regularly or you'll lose it.

My nightmare of nightmares is being overdressed for a casual event - I've done it! You have to have a real sense of what you want to communicate.

Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.
