|Don't buy something simply because of a great price. If it does not flatter you, it is actually a bad deal. You'll end up donating it and that's just flushing cash down the toilet.

}{Don't follow a trend just because it's "in." What looks amazing for a runway model might not look great on you. Follow your tastes, not whatever flavor is popular in the most recent fashion magazine. You are going to want to go with your gut on this. You won't be led down the wrong path.

|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.

|You can have a dressy look by wearing black jeans and a nice blouse, with heels. If you're wearing the latest trend, colored jeans, it's best to go for a more casual look.

|Before you spend money on extras, make sure you have the essentials covered. Choose items with timeless style and versatility. For example, you might start with a typical black pencil skirt, but change the coordinating shirt or outerwear based on current trends.
