Shop smart and put together outfits that look good.

1.Weed out your wardrobe.
Check your closet for garments that are out of style. If you have the space, pack them away in storage bins in case the trend ever returns.never mind their worth*smiles
Dispose of pieces that are in poor condition.
2.Gravitate toward basics over trends. Trends come and go, but classic basics stick around. Focus on keeping your basics well-stocked, and only weave in a few interesting trendy pieces at a time.
3.Look at designs over brands. Choose clothing based on how it looks rather than who made it. Getting too hung up on brand names can quickly trap you into buying clothes that do not look good simply for the sake of having the name.have been a victim of this, last year i got a perfume of a particular brand(name witheld)unfortunately for me this year i didn't get the same perfume again, i had to go for another one made by the same brand. At the end of the day i was so much disappointed.so it is better to choose a design or particular a taste over a brand.
4.Try before you buy.
Try on clothes in a dressing room before you purchase them. Study yourself in the dressing room’s full-length mirror until you have a clear opinion of how it looks.
Take along a fashion-conscious friend whose style you trust when you go shopping. When left to themselves, some individuals can talk themselves into—or out of—just about anything. Your friend can provide you with a second opinion on the clothes you try on.
5. Keep your style balanced.
Avoid wearing too many trends at once. Mix one trendy piece into an outfit composed of basics.
Avoid mixing bold patterns. For instance, do not wear a large polka dot print blouse with a plaid skirt. Bold patterns clash when paired together.
If you must mix patterns, mix a subtle, muted pattern with a bolder one. For example, you could wear a floral print blouse with light pinstripe pants.
6. Avoid over-accessorizing. Do not have too many layers of accessories. Stick with one or two key accessories, though i know it is a big girl and big boy's trait but you've got to avoid it.

Have a great week ahead!
