We've been told it a million times: if you're comfortable in your clothes, you'll look good in ‘em. Like so many clichés, it's true. But only partly. You may feel comfortable slobbing around in that misshapen tracksuit, but you sure as hell don't look good in it. It's more like, find the pieces that make you happy - you know the ones: the dress that prompts that cute guy to give you a second glance, the pumps that make you walk with a spring in your step, hell, even your lucky knickers. Just enjoy yourself; after all, it's only fashion.
