"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with
the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers
through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you
never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end
of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that
you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for
helping others."
Audrey Hepburn
Do the Right ThingBefore working with me, many of my clients look at their closets and think they have nothing to wear. Usually, I can take a client's wardrobe and make new outfits just out of the items they already own by mixing and matching them with their other garments and accessories. This video is an example of just how versatile one plain piece of clothing can actually be. The young lady in the video came up with 365 different outfits with just one simple casual black dress solely using her creativity (she even wore the dress backwards several times) and only accessories that were either vintage, handmade, reused, or donated, and she did it all for a great cause!
