“One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.”

“I've got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself that nothing's wrong
This doesn't have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on.”

“Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.”

“At what cost, now, may one attempt to write perfectly of beautiful happenings?”

“Many people dismiss haute couture as being something that is only for those who are very wealthy… simplicity, good taste, and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.”

“Honestly, shopping beats therapy, anytime. It costs the same and you get a dress out of it.”

“When a girl feels that she’s perfectly groomed and dressed she can forget that part of her. That’s charm”

“Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed like black pimps.”

“The whole tendency of empiricism and democracy in speech, dress and manners has been toward a plainness which is without symbolic significance. The power of symbolism is greatly feared by those who wish to expel from life all that is nonrational in the sense of being nonutilitarian”
