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

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

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.

I really do believe that my style is informed by the fact that I had such issues with my appearance at various times of my life.

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

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.

I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
