RULE 1. Look in the mirror and say to yourself every day “I love
you”. Please don’t let yourself become cocky. It’s good to be
reminded of our strengths and weaknesses on a daily basis. It’s
proactive to remind ourselves what needs work in our lives.
RULE 2. Surround yourself with a great group of friends. That is
right! Get rid of the people in your life who aren’t good for you. We
all grow up and realize that some people are there for no reason
whatsoever. It might be hard to rid yourself of them, but in the long
run, it’s worth it.
RULE 3. Edit your closet each season. It is always good to donate
the clothing that can be reused and rid yourself of items that are
falling apart. It helps refresh your wardrobe and makes you aware
of the key pieces you need to purchase for that season.
RULE 4. Say please and thank you, hold the door for the person
behind you and don’t forget to hand write a thank you note when
it’s appropriate. Why do all of these things? Because having good
manners never goes out of style.
RULE 5. Find a good tailor in your area and utilize them. I don’t
care what you pay for an article of clothing. It isn’t going to look
great if it isn’t tailored for your body. Usually alterations run from
$5.00 to $20.00. It’s money well spent when you realize how
different you look.

RULE 6. When shopping, purchase classic pieces first. This way you have a good basis
for your wardrobe. These pieces should fit you well and become staples to base outfits
off of. Trendy pieces should be kept to a minimum each season. Buy only a few that you
really love. Not only will this keep your closet from getting crowded it will help save money.
RULE 7. Remember that even on a budget you can look good. These days you can buy
clothes everywhere from Target to Dolce and Gabbana. Shop in your price range and
know what looks good on your body. Take the time to really learn what is going to look
best on you.
RULE 8. Dress your age. I have said this before and will say it many times again. 50-
year-old women do not need to be wearing a halter-top and mini skirt. Likewise, 20-year-
old women do not need to be showing their mid-drift and ass cleavage. Part of dressing
your age and being sexy is showing just a hint of skin. Trust me when I say it’s much
more appealing then seeing all of your supposed assets.
RULE 9. It is always better to be overdressed; it is much better than showing up at an
event and being the only person in jeans. If you walk into a room in a great dress and
terrific shoes and everyone else is wearing jeans and a t-shirt don’t even think twice about
it. People are going to look at you and think wow she looks great. Just be comfortable in
what you are wearing and enjoy it.
RULE 10. Finally, when receiving a compliment say, “Thank you”. It is not stylish or
attractive to say “this old thing” or “hardly”. Enjoy the compliment and even if you don’t
believe it saying thank you will make you feel better. After a time you will start to believe
that you do look good. It’s a great confidence building exercise.
