“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” – Rachel Zoe In today’s blog post, I challenged myself to “keep it brief” as I try to explain “style” in less than 150 words.

Whether you like and/or support Melania’s husband or not, you have to admit that there is a wee part of you that is a bit envious of her wardrobe. I mean, has she ever worn the same thing twice?
