life-changing matter looks
You have to know yourself and know what you can carry. If you're not comfortable, no matter how well dressed you are, you're not going to look right. I'd rather be happy and feel comfy.
promise world
The world is always full of promise.
minimalist
I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
husband men lucky
I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.
fun creative getting-dressed
The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.
events more-time getting-dressed
I'll spend more time getting dressed than I spent at the actual event.
jewelry
Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.
forget get-up lost
I find that if I get up and push myself, I get lost in what I'm doing, and I forget about everything else until I stop doing it.
being-yourself traffic
Never be afraid to stop traffic.
style trying
You can't try to be somebody you're not; that's not style.
clothes style looks
I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.
path helping ifs
I'm happy if I can help anybody. I'm more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.
important well-dressed wells
It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
home matter perky
When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.
