If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.

Style is joyful if you allow yourself to have joy.

I think that the way to have style is to accept where your body is right now, heavier or skinnier, whether you're going to change in the future and dress it as it is. The fact is you can always find clothes. It may be harder for plus sized people, I completely understand that. But I don't believe that it's impossible to dress with style.

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