Basic Info| Name: | Audrey's Secret |

BioAudrey, as in actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn, was a style icon throughout her lifetime; her signature look still has them panting in the aisles, 50 years later.
Looking at her style success, I can derive three rules that serve as the guiding principles for my own forays into the world of fashion:
(1) Dress the body you have.
(2) You're the best expert on your own body.
(3) Keep it simple.
Aunt Sandy's just taking it from there.

Sandy Ryan is a writer, editor, media fan, and rising fashion professional. (The sole qualification for the latter, she says, is to be able to say the phrase "I'm a fashion professional" while in her bleach-stained nightgown and no bra. Nevertheless, geek girls like her to clean out their closets and guide them through the mall, and that's how she became a style sherpa.)
Sadly, back when Audrey Hepburn was still alive, Sandy was wearing that damn pink crocheted hoodie with a blue handkerchief skirt and faux Birkenstocks. It's probably just as well that they never met.
