Rule #1: Make your face the focal point of every outfit.
Rule #2: Always dress like yourself, in the situation you are in.
Rule #3: Never wear anything that takes alot of effort to be functional (or makes you walk stupid).
There are many other rules. The good news: your individual idiom defines your compliance to them.
Rule #4: Never wear less than 4″ heels, accessorize with a soy latte that costs less than $7, or less than carefully dishevel your hair.
Hmmm. It takes a special person to be able to do both #3 and #4; that is, to wear 4″ heels without walking stupid. Thankfully, we are now in the idiom-driven compliance zone. I’m not that special.
Did you know that you can get a whole tube of latte cups and lids for $7? That kind of make-it-yourself accessorizing fits my skill level better than knitting or jewelry-making.
