- Life is brief, spend time with folks you get pleasure from their firm, and other people you like
- Your working life is even shorter, so attempt to discover one thing you like doing, that you simply’re obsessed with, and that you simply really feel makes a constructive distinction ultimately.
- Spend time creating. It could be in your backyard, within the kitchen, at your stitching machine, with some knitting needles, with a hammer, and even in your wardrobe. Creativity improves psychological well being, you could not assume you’re “inventive” artistic, however there might be a method you may harness your creativity, I’m certain of it.
- Dense prints are nice for disguising lumps and bumps.
- Be beneficiant along with your information.
- Perfection is the enemy of motion
- Perfection is a type of concern
- There is no such thing as a such factor as perfection, so cease looking for or create it
- Attempt issues out, experiment. Analysis reveals that the extra you do and take motion, the higher you get and the extra rapidly it occurs. This goes for creating outfits in addition to every part else.
- There’s by no means a “proper” or good time to do one thing, so you could as effectively cease placing issues off and begin now.
- Make certain your work aligns along with your values
- Cease worrying about what another person thinks of your outfit, costume to specific your persona
- Not everybody will such as you, whether or not you attempt to “be” somebody you’re not, or whether or not you simply be your self

- Ensure you have your personal private type standards earlier than you ever go purchasing for garments, that method you gained’t be tempted to purchase issues that sit within the wardrobe unworn (in the event you don’t know them, you may develop them with my on-line program 7 Steps to Fashion).
- Being onerous on your self is extra more likely to make you cease making an attempt fairly than encourage you to enhance
- All feelings are transient, whether or not it’s anger, jealousy, pleasure or happiness, you may’t be glad each minute of day by day.
- The extra you might be you, the extra the best folks will love you
- The extra you be taught the extra you uncover that there’s a lot extra you could possibly presumably know and that you simply’ll by no means actually know a lot about something, and that’s fully regular and OK
- Your physique will change, your colouring will change, your tastes will change and so your wardrobe ought to change with you in every season of your life

- For those who don’t know your values, determine them out as they function an important touchstone for each determination you make in your life.
- Don’t throw out a garment simply because it hasn’t been worn prior to now 6 months or yr. Let it go if it’s not you, in the event you can’t think about sporting it once more, it doesn’t suit you, you don’t really feel good in it , if it doesn’t fit your present way of life, local weather or location.
- The colors that make you shine are these which can be inherent in you. They exist already in your hair, pores and skin, lips and eyes. These change by way of your lifetime because the pigments in your hair, pores and skin, lips and eyes change.
- There is no such thing as a proper reply. You might be a person, as are the opposite 8 billion folks on this planet. There is no such thing as a one proper outfit, or proper physique form, or proper type. What’s best for you isn’t proper for everybody.
- Don’t purchase off must-have lists. This refers again to you being a person. Simply because it’s proper for the one that wrote the checklist, doesn’t imply it’s best for you.
- Simply because the salesperson has been very useful doesn’t imply you should purchase one thing you don’t completely love, that can work with a number of stuff you already personal, and that matches your way of life and private type standards.
- You aren’t a thoughts reader and neither am I, which is why I after I get emails and other people ask me “What ought to I’ve in my wardrobe?” my reply is “I don’t know”. It is because I don’t know you, your preferences, physique, colouring, way of life, location, tradition, values, private preferences…. and the checklist goes on
- Be versatile, in case you have a really set concept of what you need, you usually tend to be disenchanted because it’s virtually unattainable to seek out that actual factor/individual/look/fill-in-the-blank
- Don’t purchase something that doesn’t go along with at the least 4 different objects in your wardrobe, you then gained’t have wardrobe orphans.

- Essentially the most time wasted is the time between making a call and admitting to your self you’ve made the choice, then performing on it.
- Undecided what your determination is? Attempt heads and tails, select one reply to be heads, the opposite to be tails, toss the coin within the air and see which facet you hope the coin comes down on. That’s your determination.
- Be thankful for the small issues, and see the small issues.

- Gown your portrait space first. Make that the focus of your outfit fairly than obsessing about camouflaging physique elements.
- Respect that different folks assume in a different way from you. That’s OK. You don’t must be pals or be on the identical web page as everybody. Simply respect that others might not maintain the identical views or values as you.
- Being variety doesn’t imply being a doormat or letting others at all times have their method.
- The dimensions on the labels of your clothes is irrelevant and isn’t an indication of your price.
- Social media is a “highlights” actual and never actuality. Their life just isn’t as glamorous or thrilling as it might seem.
