Quote

You have to find your own style, and it's difficult to define what style is. It's not what you're wearing it's how you wear it. It's something very personal, and it reflects the way you live and your house, the books you read, the art you have.

Even if it doesn't fit the woman, like, let's say a very short skirt, and the woman doesn't have the legs or the height to wear the skirt, but she has to wear it because it's fashionable. Don't do it! If it doesn't look good on you, don't worry about it.
