|Spend your fashion money on basics. Buy pieces that complement each other and are timeless. Start with the classic look of a black pencil skirt and give it the look of today with a trend top or jacket.

|Don't buy something simply because of a great price. No matter how much of a steal it is money wise, if it looks bad on you, don't buy it. It will simply be a loss of space and money.

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.

|When packing your beauty kit, be careful you don't over pack with makeup. Choose things that you are drawn to but that also fit the tone of the season. Keep in mind looks for both nighttime and daytime wear. Just as with numerous other products, makeup can turn sour once it is opened. Bacteria can also form over time.

|Wearing white after the end of summer used to be considered a huge fashion faux pas. Any color, as long as it is flattering, is appropriate. So, if it's white you want to wear, wear it proudly and ignore people who say you shouldn't. Most people don't even think about what time of year it is when regarding your outfit.
