You know you have made it when you walk into your office on Halloween and your entire staff is dressed up like you. You actually have a “you” costume, or a look that people can replicate.

I get that I have always loved fashion and dressed and accessorized to my heart’s desire (and this doesn’t necessarily mean from an expense point of view). I also always joke that people should try buying mirrors and actually using them because as we all have seen some people simply don’t (use mirrors).

But even a discerning eye may not realize that the selections we choose for ourselves might be creating a true statement that can be replicated by others to represent who we are.

Now let’s see… you all know that I am a maximalist. Everything from my home, to my car, to my clothes, my cooking, etc., tends to be layered. I play with color, texture, proportion. Everything I own has a story, I either inherited it, or I precisely know why, when, and where I bought it.

So here is what the BUDHAGIRLS needed to achieve that Jessica look:

Wear black

Wear pink

Wear lots of necklaces

Wear lots of bracelets and of course a couple sets of AWB

Two rings (no more)

No earrings

Statement shoes

Killer handbag

Oh… yes, the undeniable scarf

And always eyeshadow, glam eyelashes and lipstick.

Half readers.

Voilá, Jessica.
