"It's about personality. The same set of clothes, shoes and accessories can look terrific on one person and out of place on another. A great outfit reflects the personality and style of the woman, not just the latest trends."
Diana Bayne, 43, Hallsville

"Personally I am a blue jean and T-shirt girl. But I think what makes an outfit is modesty. Whether you wear a pair of jeans or a evening dress, you should represent who you are and not what you hope  people think you are. Everyone has their own style that makes an outfit and as long as it is decent, I love it!"
Beth Jones, 45, Longview

"The accessories - the earrings, shoes, necklace, bracelets - make an outfit. You can take something relatively plain looking and dress it up a hundred different ways by adding accessories."
Jana Preston, 33, Hallsville

"I believe that what makes an outfit is how well the clothing fits and flatters your figure. You can wear the most beautiful clothing but if it does not fit properly it will not be a good look."
Katy Leathers, 26, Longview

"Many things make an outfit! I think that jewelry finishes it off. You could have on a boring, 'blah' outfit, but jewelry can spice it up! Also, makeup that matches the outfit is critical, like the colors of your eye shadow, blush and lipstick. I deal with the public regularly, so appearance is everything in my book. Look at yourself in the mirror front and back before you leave the house in the morning!"
C. Kay Swigart, 47, Hallsville

"You can have a plain outfit and turn it into something fabulous with the right pair of shoes. However, the shoes also have the power to ruin a great look if they are ugly. I think shoes show off your personality. They can look businesslike, fun, playful, casual, trendy or funky."
Mindy Scott, 39, Longview
