What is magical and mystifying to me about style is not that by seeing we can believe. It is that eventually, we can believe, because we can see we can embrace change the more we can make it tangible
What is magical and mystifying to me about style is not that by seeing we can believe. It is that eventually, we can believe, because we can see... we can embrace change the more we can make it tangible.
You have to look in the mirror and see that what you're wearing looks good on the body you have now. Wearing a larger size is just... wearing a larger size.
Style is all about your individual sense of how you want to present yourself to the world. It’s about loving what you’ve got instead of wishing for what you’re not.
You don’t need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.
I own about 300 pairs of shoes. When I start to go over 300, I have mini-sales from my closet and give the money to charity. It’s my way of recycling; I feel like I can give back to the universe.
Whether you’re as healthy as you should be or not, that doesn’t disallow you to look your best. Style is only possible from a place of self-acceptance.
Style applies to a lifestyle. It’s not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.
A lot of people have said that I’m super-snarky and mean. But honesty is the only way to get people to change. It’s very important to be constructively critical – give people alternatives and you’re giving them a new way to see themselves.
