Style is the way you put together clothes, not the clothes themselves. There is something to be said for picking clothes you won't get sick of but that feel good.

• Unless you don't mind getting rid of certain items every season, stay away from overly trendy pieces when shopping for your basic wardrobe.
  
  
• Don't pick everything you see in magazines. Pick what looks and feels better on you. This comes with being honest and true to yourself.
  
  
• Wear what's right for your body type and don't be a slave to fashion.
  
  
• No matter how hoochie koochi you get with Gucci, no matter how breathless you become in a Prada dressing room, no matter how cute a pair of Chanel eyelet hotpants are, if a particular style is unflattering on you, you can look, well, tacky!!!
  
  
• Your wardrobe should show your personality, not the personality of the store's salesperson.

Clothes say more about you than you can imagine.
