Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.

I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.

There is something about a well-fitted modern jacket that feels like armor. If it's cut well, it adds a dose of cool to anything you wear it with and does the heavy lifting when it comes to creating a flattering shape.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Clothes are not Botox. Wearing a miniskirt does not take 10 years off your face.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.
