1. Embrace your body shape.
"Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided."

4. Dress for yourself.
"I never think of myself as an icon. I just do my thing."
Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993), Actress
5. Work with what you’ve got.
"I've never really had a waist. My silhouette is very straight, up and down. But I have learned to give myself a bit of a waist by optical illusions; for this, bring on the belts."
Twiggy, Supermodel
6. Be chic, not trendy.
"Fashions fade, style is eternal."

"You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it."

9. Wear the clothes - don’t let the clothes wear you.
"The dress must not hang on the body but follow its lines. It must accompany its wearer and when a woman smiles, her dress should smile with her."
