[Q: Given your expertise in styling good-looking outfits, what constitutes a successful ice skating costume?]

For me, it was important that I felt pretty when I ice-skated. If I wore something--no matter how ridiculous--as long as I felt beautiful, I knew I would skate better in something that I felt good in. If I wore something heinous, I would skate heinously.
