“Your closet needs to be a place of joy and celebration of who are you now - not who you were.”

“Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.”

“Nothing's too girly and nothing's too masculine. But I do love color, and maybe that's a little girly - especially pink.”

“Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.”

“Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.”

“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.”

“Self-esteem doesn't come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It's a missed opportunity when women say they don't have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves.”

“Your self-esteem won't come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.”

“Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.”

“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.”

“Seeing, feeling, thinking, believing - these are the stages of how we change our style on the outside and our self-image on the inside.”
