Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.

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

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

Any item in your wardrobe should satisfy one of two criteria: utility and joy.

I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.
