Looking relevant, modern, timely and appropriate in terms of your age, body type and lifestyle is not only about the joy of self-expression but a form of self-care: it lets the world know how you want to be perceived and treated.

You have to let go of who you were to allow yourself to become who you are.

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

Your self-esteem won't come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.

Style is joyful if you allow yourself to have joy.

Only buy things that make your heart sing. If I don't love it, I won't buy it.

Nothing's too girly and nothing's too masculine. But I do love color, and maybe that's a little girly - especially pink.
