What I Believe

1. I believe there is a shade of pink that is right for every woman's complexion.

2. On the other hand, I believe that with her natural skin tone (no fake bake!) there are only 68 women on this planet over the age of 12 who look good in yellow.

3. I believe that only a person who is petite understands the plight of petite women.

4. I also believe that general fashion suggestions for "big boned," "heavy set" or "plus" women are usually WRONG because they were thought of by emaciated women or slim men. I trust those who understand not every woman over 130 lbs is not 5'9", is not a size 18, does not have huge hips, and usually is not all over large, just has some more curves in more places.

5. I believe God's gift to women is not men, but mascara.

6. I believe that fashion is a form of art, and should be respected as such. Why are art collectors considered intelligent and as investors, while fashionistas are considered frivolous and self-absorbed?

7. Though no one can see it, I believe beautiful undergarments make any outfit.

8. I believe that obvious brand names and logos are a cheater's way to achieving style.

9. I believe every woman should get refitted for a bra every year. A wonderful birthday gift to yourself - a lovely new, shapely, supported bustline!

10. I believe we each only have one body in this life, we should treat it well, praise it often, and decorate it in the lovely way in which it deserves. You are no help to anyone else if you do not help yourself first. You cannot bring complete joy to another's life if your own life is not full of joy. Caring for yourself and your appearance is not selfish. When you are happy, when you are confident you perform best - be it at your job, with your family, in life in general.

Take good care of yourself - you deserve it.

  1. Dear Dilly,
    I can't tell you how much this blog has helped me. Thanks for sharing your hard won knowledge. When I went to Lane Bryant on Black Friday, part of the reason I had so much fun was because I knew exactly what I needed & what I wanted. Start with jeans, bras, black pants, add the perfect V neck black sweater and then some nice work friendly tops. I tried on winter white pants since you wear them--I am as terrified of color on my butt as you are of professional highlights--but once I tried them on I loved them, especially with a black top. The VERY SAME outfit with the colors reversed (black pants, cream top) did not look at all inspiring.
    Now, if I could only get everything unpacked and hung up...
