"1. I believe in wearing what you like and feeling good about that as oposed to having too many outside opinions on your outfit. At the end of the day, you're the one wearing it, and how you feel should relatively trump anyone else's opinion of how they think you should look. But, still have an open mind to try new things.
2. Don't take yourself too seriously! Fashion is supposed to be fun and expressive.
3. Lastly, please get dressed! Putting together a look for the day almost always boosts your mood. And sometimes, you never know who you'll run into or where the day will go."
