" Stella McCartney&amp;amp;#8217;s an accomplished fashion designer, famous daughter-of (Beatle Dad, Paul, wrote songs like &amp;amp;#8220;Let It Be&amp;amp;#8221;) and BDB&amp;amp;#8212;best designer bud&amp;amp;#8212;to stars like Gwyneth Paltrow. Oh, and she&amp;amp;#8217;s a mommy to three kids of her own. As if that weren&amp;amp;#8217;t enough of a resume, she&amp;amp;#8217;s now launched an exclusive collection for Netaporter.com (available starting today). Even if her stuff is beyond your budget, you need to need to hear Stella&amp;amp;#8217;s ideas for stretching your wardrobe now (read on)&amp;amp;#133; 1. Reach for your confidence dress (something you instantly feel smarter/happier/sexier in) again and again. &amp;amp;#8220;It&amp;amp;#8217;s got to have some edge to it but also be timeless enough to last forever,&amp;amp;#8221; McCartney says. She recommends a dress that works both belted and not belted, &amp;amp;#8220;so you can get more wear out of it.&amp;amp;#8221; 2. Look for neutral pieces you can re-wear in new ways. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;ve always been drawn to colors that are faded and aged,&amp;amp;#8221; she says, and suggests mixing in punchy brights for contrast. 3. Borrow your boyfriend&amp;amp;#8217;s T-shirts. If not literally his, ones that look like his but come in your size. McCartney likes basic tees, in white of course, that you can wear with your favorite pair of jeans and a killer pair of heels. 4. Experiment with seasonless dressing. Maybe you don&amp;amp;#8217;t need to splurge on those major cold-weather purchases if you are doing lots of layering&amp;amp;#133; So: Do you follow these rules? What is your #1 secret for looking stylish (without buying tons of new clothes)?
