"Dresses and co-its don't, seen to match any more, nor .• coats and hats, . and yet I want my clothes to loos: as if they belonged to one-another. - Where do I begin?" "JX-j Begin by„ matching your shoes andhandbag' in|ccolour and, if - • material. It's smart now to have than both of calf, seal, lizard, crocodile, or .whatever it may be.
