“panty liners stuck in arms of shirts to prevent sweat stains (hey, we've had 107 degree with humidity here in the south)”
“When deciding on or against a big clothing purchase, divide the price by the amount of times you imagine yourself actually wearing the item. For example: $100 pair of jeans worn 75 times before falling apart = $1.33 per wear. If the price still seems extravagant, it's probably not the right item for you!”
“Wear whatever makes you feel happy! On a sad day, wear the happiest, smiley clothes you own. When none of it matches, that's when you'll feel best. And take note: big IS beautiful! Don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, they're just jealous!!! ”

“Set your own trends...it may be fun to follow the trends, but those bell-bottom jeans won't be in style forever! Find a fashion that fits you, and wear it pride. And hey, even if you do have a few fashion mistakes lying around, this is a craft website. Find something new to do with your old clothes. ”

“Invest in quality, well fitted underwear. A properly fitted bra will do wonders for your posture and won't show lines under your clothes (same goes for knickers).
And always be kind to your feet. Blisters and bandaids are no price to pay for pretty shoes.”

“NEVER match your earrings to your necklace - there's a reason you always see those matching sets on clearance at department stores. It is okay for them to complement each other, though!”
“Its not the clothes who make an outfit , its the person and the accessories , only ever match 2 of your accessories , so not to look 'OTT'. However if you do want to look 'OTT' dont match , clash the accessories with the colour your wearing . ”
“Don't be overly trendy, add quirky elements to your wardrobe to create a unique style. Make people say, "that looks like something only ________ could pull off". And remember, accessories can make or break a look, so choose wisely.”
“Lift it up, Smooth it out. Pantyhose can be cut to ANY length, to wear under anything w/o showing!!! Do WONDERS for the impression you make when leaving a room!

Don't match too much.
