was given to me by my daughter, then 5 yrs old, when she said to me "We should only buy things that are Ooh la la". Her rating system is "Ooh la la" or "Not, Ooh la la", occasionally followed by a thumbs up or down.
One day while we were shopping together, a lightbulb turned on and I realized that was the best fashion advice that has ever been given to me! I feel every girl, and guy, should make that pledge. Don't you agree?
If only I had made that pledge years ago, I would not feel the need to clean my closet as often, tossing away clothing and shoes while wondering "what I was thinking?" when I made that purchase. Instead, I would have acquired a closet full of lovely cashmere sweaters, silk blouses, flattering skirts, beautiful dresses, tailored trousers and chic accessories that I had carefully chosen to last for years to come. That's not say that I don't like a trend or two each season!
My wardrobe will always be a work in progress. Occasionally, I will feature pieces that I feel are "Ooh la la" and some of my favourite style icons wearing them.
