“Being chic is all about having your own sense of style and feeling comfortable with it, that’s what makes for a sassy look. So if ever you’re in doubt, take a friend shopping and make sure whatever you’re buying looks really good on you. You’ll thank yourself – and your friend – later. And just think how much longer that purchase will last in your wardrobe if you really love it.” – Sienna Miller
