The saying "are you wearing the dress or is the dress wearing you?" all comes down to one thing: confidence. It really does not matter what you wear as long as you wear it right. If you want to dress head to toe in black leather plus half a ton of black eyeliner to finish it off, go right ahead; with a few stipulations: Those leather pants hug your curves, but are not overwhelmingly tight so when you bend down to pick up that pen (that you dropped on purpose to impress the cute guy in the library) the seams do not split on you, creating a whole other mood. Perhaps, pair the pants with a very structured jacket to stay away from the whole catsuit thing.
You want to show off your beautiful cleavage your mama gave you? That's why Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton brought back the bustier. However, it is important to balance the look with something less promiscuous such as wide-leg dress pants, or like at Louis Vuitton, a classic circle skirt à la the 1950's.
So there you have some rules to wear what you want properly. Now comes the easy or perhaps difficult part. You've got to take those skinny jeans and leather jacket and make them work for you. You've got to wear the outfit like you were born in it, like some one made it especially for you to wear and no one else. Confidence. If you want to wear 4 inch heels then you better walk in them like your feet were made like Barbie's. Confidence is your best defence and your best personal trait. If someone is giving you odd looks because they do not like your ensemble, give them a smile and a hair flick. They might not change their opinion of your clothes, but your just not going to give a damn what they think. Everyone likes a confident person. Not an egotistical person, but someone who is cool in their own skin. If you master this then whatever clothes you choose to go over that coolness will make you feel 100% awesome.
