|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 a blouse, shoes, shirt, or dress just because it's on sale for a good price. If it doesn't look good on your body, there is no reason to buy it. Instead, it will languish in your closet, reminding you of money you shouldn't have spent.

}{Dress jeans up by wearing a dressy shirt and heels. Wear colored jeans if you want a more casual look.

|One thing you are going to want to do is always keep an eye open for changes in style. Styles are constantly changing, and you can find out what is new by looking at fashion magazines every now and then. They are likely going to showcase the new trends first.

|Wearing white after the end of summer used to be considered a huge fashion faux pas. Wear what ever colors you prefer, so long as they are flattering. If you feel and look your best wearing white, wear it, but do make sure the fabric is appropriate for the season. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
