So wearing clothes that clash makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like I’ve got a neon sign on my forehead flashing “Look at me, and judge my choice of clothes.” My mother is an elegant French woman.

She sits down to talk to Keith and first tries to cover up by pulling her jacket over her abdomen. Then, she appears to straighten her posture and suck it in. Last, she folds her arms over her stomach, and moves on with the scene.

Being in that upscale bracket usually demands housing in a pricey zip code, a long train commute into the city, brandname clothes, membership in at least one social club, and a late-model car.

Half the Millennials who are single and make $100k annually and couples earning $150k aren't able to save for retirement. And so they fear they will have to simply work until they drop.

I deserve to go to fashion week because my designs transform the way women shop and wear clothes. It's about making clothes that people actually buy. Until now, the competition has been conceptual: make clothes for skinny professional models based on contrived challenges each week that only vaguely touch on the needs of real women. Okay, maybe that's a little harsh, but it's closer to reality than most of us want to acknowledge.

But if you’re a true Nervous Nellie, keep your audience fully clothed and make a commitment to use the traits and strategies that confident speakers employ. Back in 1990, Ron Hoff wrote a popular book about public speaking entitled I Can See You Naked. The idea was that if a speaker looked out at the audience and imagined everyone sitting in their birthday suits, he would take a scary crowd and turn it into a docile nudist colony, thus defusing their power to intimidate.
