Coco Chanel

She doomed us all to craving an eternal tan, at the expense of our young skin; introduced a new level of sophistication to suits; popularized tweed (THANK YOU!); and gave us some advice that I wish more people would abide:
When you are about to leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off. (Namely, an accessory.)
Seriously, really, start doing this. I tried it, and I think it makes a HUGE difference! Because elegance is so often understated.
And if I see one more lady with big earrings, a big necklace, and bracelets on both wrists I am gonna FREAK OUT!! Christmas trees are pretty. But maybe a little gaudy. Ya think?
