The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.
Stacy London
Image
Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
Stacy London
Image
Self-esteem doesn't come simply from dressing well, but they are both something we can control. It's a missed opportunity when women say they don't have the money, figure, etc., because style is such a way to help cultivate the way women feel about themselves.

I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.
Stacy London
Image
Style is all about your individual sense of how you want to present yourself to the world. It's about loving what you've got instead of wishing for what you're not.

A lot of people have said that I'm super-snarky and mean. But honesty is the only way to get people to change. It's very important to be constructively critical - give people alternatives and you're giving them a new way to see themselves.

I'm not as snarky as I used to be.
Stacy London

I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.

Fit is everything. I don't care what your body type is like: If you're not wearing clothes that fit you, you can't have style.
Stacy London
Image
You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.

Image
Less is more. I truly believe in buying a few pieces with better construction.

Image
All metallics are neutrals. So it is absolutely fine to mix gold and silver you just want it to look like it has purpose.
Stacy London
Image
I'm not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, 'Bring on the day!' I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I'm even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.
Stacy London
Image
If you deny the reality of your body or your life, you'll never be able to dress any of it well - even the parts you love. You have to see it all to work with any of it.

I know what it feels like to struggle with your weight, and it makes me understand why women get attached to numbers on a scale or a dress size. It doesn't mean that I have gotten over all of it myself, because I have good days and bad days just like everyone else.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.
Stacy London

Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.
