70 rules on daily life I try to live by

On Fashion

1. Rate each article of clothing in your closet on a scale of 1 to 10.  10 makes you feel fabulous.  If an item isn't above an 8.5, throw it out and replace it with an article with a higher rating.  
2. Casual does not mean sloppy. 
3. Shoes are your signature.
4. Life is too short for a bad handbag.      
5. Never wear an accessory that has lost its purpose.  
6. Never go binge shopping.  You will likely buy things you don't need, and then you can't afford things your wardrobe could actually use.  Shop sober!
