I live in an old farm house with a bunch of women ranging in ages from 23 to 65. I love that they all come to me for fashion advice. Apparently I am the fashionista of the group. But I am also the "sweet, kind, honest, healer" and it is sometimes hard to be gracious and tactful to someone who really needs to wear a bra sometimes but won't, or to someone else who is enthusiastic about color but has no sense of what goes. When they ask me, "How does this look?", what they really want is to be told that they look fabulous, as-is. I do my best but in the end, I must honor the quirky diversity around me and it really is fabulous.
