Diana Vreeland said “Elegance is refusal.” Clothes are so affordable
and abundant these days that we fall in and out of love with them too
easily. Resist buying armloads of cheap trends. Cultivating a life long
love affair with a few well-made pieces is better for the environment,
for your wallet, and for your soul.

Perfect. I could not possibly agree more. My grandmother taught me this and it's always stuck with me. She was one classy lady. Thank you for sharing this most important fashion tip!

Oh man, I need this advice.

hip, hip hurray for that tip! i agree and something my european friends are so great at. they have fewer clothes and the pieces they do have are stunning and timeless. i hope we (in the states) catch onto this idea and start supporting independent designers in a bigger way. btw- emily, i've really enjoyed your posts and pictures! *a

I think I love Elizabeth Dye.

For a minute, I thought this was Gwyneth. Such smart advice from such a classic icon. And I do adore this blouse. And skirt. And head piece!

Great suggestions! I'm taking them to heart.

Completely adore the photograph, and couldn't agree more with the fashion tip -- such a fun little series this is turning out to be!

What a breath of fresh air. I get so tired of fashion advice that revolves around accumulating the next "it" item(s)- its a battle you can never win. Better to really enjoy what you have and get more creative with those pieces. Thanks for all these wonderful suggestions.

I LOVED reading these, especially #5. It's quite unsettling to think of all of the funds I've wasted on trendy items over the years. This quote is definitely one I'll strive to keep in mind!

Brilliance! I am loving the Elizabeth Dye posts.
