Like most people, I've grown a lot more sophisticated in my style choices. I know myself and what suits me better now than I did when I was much younger and feel more comfortable in my own skin.
My style is about making things last forever. When you're on a budget, it can be daunting to spend $300 on a pair of boots or a coat. But such basics are the building blocks from which your look is crafted.
I am always being stopped for style advice, and I love it! The way we dress says so much about ourselves, and I love when I can help others take control of that.
Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself.
Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.
Some girls on the street don't have a lot of money, but they have the best style. It's not about being able to buy everything in the store.
Style is like a muscle: you have to exercise it regularly or you'll lose it.
Fashion is expensive. Style is not. Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.
