- Organize your clutter. Time for spring-cleaning.
- Make a note of key pieces you need to build your basics.
- Invest wisely in pieces that will endure fashion trends.
- Know yourself. Stay true to what works best for you. Base your closet on your age, body structure and lifestyle. With this at the forefront of your mind, you will be sure to buy only what is necessary and appropriate.
- Shop with intention. Exercise a degree of restraint. Do not buy on a whim.
- Keep great jewelry and good accessories for wardrobe essentials.
- Spend on a good pair of shoes. Walking is the best way to save on gas!
- Be creative. Restyle the old accessories you no longer use. Have the items you seldom wear redesigned. If you don’t wear it, either give it away ot make it work. It is all about ingenuity now.
- Mix it up. Ask any woman of style. She will never be caught dead wearing designer garb from head-to-toe. Learn how to wear your key essentials infused with inexpensive trendy details to look au courant.
- Attitude! That is my trade secret. Own what you wear. Who cares if people say, “That is so last season.” Style is not about that at all.
