Dear Guru,
I'm originally from L.A.
but travel frequently. During a trip to Memphis I was
invited to a party where the dress code was said to be
upscale. I get there and people are wearing jeans
with blazers and sneakers and I think WTF. I felt
out of place in my suit which probably cost more than
every outfit at the party combined. Should I try
to fit in where ever I go or should I not even be
worried about standing out in situations like this.

Dear Don,
I feel your pain, man...
I think there are certain situations that call for a
certain type of dress; casual parties are necessarily
not one of them. Style is about self expression
and comfort. Keep in mind, in different parts of
America, even more so in different parts of the World
people's perception of fashion and style varies greatly.
Upscale in one part of the country may be a lot less
casual than in another. You have to think about
the local culture, the type of event, as well as the
type of people attending, atmosphere and location of the
event. There may not be a fool proof way to dress
for an occasion especially if it's an unfamiliar scene.
Just dress in a manner that you are most comfortable
with and don't worry about standing out. That can
be a good thing as many celebrities pay top dollar for
stylist to help them stand out in a crowd. Like I
always say feeling good about how you look is always in
style!
Dear Guru,
I recently had twins and
already had a kind of large bosom, but now they are way
out of proportion with the rest of my body which makes
getting dressed most of the times a nightmare. I
