Quotes ~ Closet/Style/Fashion...

JewelryGirl

I'm looking for the perfect quote to do on a wall in my closet...here are some that I have but not sure yet so wanted to see if you guys have others?

These 2 are from one of Angie's posts:
“fashion unites us, but style sets us apart”.
“fashion is in the clothes but style is in the wearer“.

This one is just interesting & funny:
“Family: A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.”
- Evan Esar

I LOVE this one!
There are four ways, and only four ways, in which we have contact with the world. We are evaluated and classified by these four contacts: what we do, how we look, what we say, and how we say it. ~ Dale Carnegie

Another one I like:
"Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you." ~Wally "Famous" Amos

Do you have any favorites you can share? I'm a huge quote girl so I'm on a mission for this right now...

Thanks a bunch!

I vote for “fashion is in the clothes but style is in the wearer“. It will be fun to see what other quotes come up. I think Kendall's book has several and will have to check.

Edit: Well here are a couple I found but not suggested for your closet plaque..
"Toe cleavage is the only cleavage that should be shown at the office"--Suze Orman

"The secret of toe cleavage is that it is a very important part of the sexuality of the shoe. But you must only show the first two cracks."--Manolo Blahnik

My favorite is from the ancient Greek philosopher Epictetus:
"Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly."

I did a little googling and came up with these:

Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess.
Edna W. Chase

Fashions fade, but style is eternal.
Yves Saint-Laurent

He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
Paul Klee

Oh, never mind the fashion. When one has a style of one's own, it is always twenty times better.
Margaret Oliphant

“Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches”
Logan Pearsall Smith

“"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
John Fairchild

“Style is the perfection of a point of view”

One of my favorites is by Bette Miller : "There is no square inch of my body that doesn't require intense maintenance and it is a bloody bore ! "

I don't know who said this, but I keep it in a little book : "admire it, love it, then leave it if it is not right for you, why settle ? "

Another of unknown origin and a mantra I try to live by, " Everything around you should be beautiful, useful and loved. "

( Refugee !!! I love yours ! )

I also love the "fashion unites...."

"I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now!" - Edna Mode (The Incredibles)

Okay, I'm kidding, but I do love that quote.

I think your idea is fabulous! My favorite quote is this:
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
- Audrey Hepburn
