Fashion: Friend or Fiend

How can fashion be fun when there are so many rules?  Dress for your body shape, your body type, your height, your weight, the activity, the weather, with designer labels showing, without labels, the right colors...what in the world should I wear?

In case of a fashion emergency, at least dress for the weather; for example, wear boots or closed toed shoes on a cold, rainy day, and bring a sweater for air conditioning.  And to look at least somewhat fashionable, go for the golden rule of one item of focus--is it a statement necklace or some really cool fringed boots? That one focus will draw attention away from anything that is too plain or breaks one of the rules. Go forth and let fashion be your friend.
