Rachel Sutherland, 33,
is the Style editor for
the Charlotte Observer.
She has covered fashion
and beauty for the
Observer since September
2007. She's not big on
rules, but does adhere
to a few principles when
it comes to style: You
don't need to spend a
million dollars to look
like you do; No one has
to know what size you
wear unless you tell
them, and most
importantly,
self-confidence is
sexier than any stiletto
or tight dress, and it
matches everything you
own. She was recently
completed her first
triathlon. The Michigan
native is a graduate of
Wayne State
University, and started
her journalism
career at the
Battle Creek Enquirer
before
