The fit of jeans can be worlds apart from brand to brand. If you can find the right fit, skinny jeans can be very flattering.
I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.
I'm constantly reminding myself that the world owes us nothing. We have to make our way and we have to work hard, persevere and make our own way in the world because the world isn't waiting for us, so let's let the world know we are here.

But my manners also came from when I was in college and began participating in critiques. You have to speak with someone respectfully about their work and be honest and open, without hurting them.
But if I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I'd choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
