8 Tips for Making Worthwhile Fashion Investments.

Making worthwhile fashion investments can be really hard, especially if you are used to splurging on the clothing and fashion accessories. Check out a few things to consider before making fashion investments, such as designer clothing and accessories.

1. Take your time

If you want to make a big fashion investment, make sure you take your time. Impulse purchases sometimes lead to buyer’s remorse. Just make sure you really want that thing. Instead of buying it at once, go home, think it over and sleep on it. This will help you to make a decision away from the pressure of a sales environment.

2. Take your budget into account

Always take your budget into account, when you are looking at making fashion investments. What seems expensive to one person may not seem so to another. Always spend within your means, since there is no point purchasing something you will be paying off for a few years. Don’t make fashion investments if you don’t have the cash. Come up with realistic savings or payment plan.

3. Calculate the cost per wear

Calculating the cost per wear of an item before purchasing it is one of the best ways to see if you are making a worthwhile fashion investment. I always divide a cost of the thing by number of times I will wear it. For instance, wearing a blazer which costs $200 around 50 times will equate to about $1 per wear. So that $30 top that you wear only once will cost you $30.

4. Make sure it suits your personal style

Before buying an item make sure that it’ll suit your personal style. There is no point purchasing something just because everyone else has one or because it is in fashion now. Before buying an item, visualize different outfit combinations with the clothes you have in your wardrobe. If you come up with many, then you can buy it!

5. Pay attention to the quality

When buying clothing or accessories, you should always pay attention to its quality. If you are going to be splurging then choose items which are worth the money. Check the level of craftsmanship and the quality of the material. If you are not sure about the quality or the item feels cheap, wait until you find the item that is worth to spend your money on.

6. Stick to classic and timeless designs

Sticking with classic, timeless designs is one of the best ways to ensure that your fashion investment never goes out of style. Try to spend less on trend-based things that change with the seasons and more on items that will last for years.

7. Shop around

Nowadays you really need to think twice before paying full price for anything. And with online shopping, comparing prices and items it is easier than ever! If you can buy it at a reduced cost or on sale then that’s certainly a worthwhile fashion investment!

8. Check the care instructions

Some things, especially designer clothing, may still cost you after buying. Certain fabrics or delicate items may be dry clean only. You will not only be paying the initial price, but you will also be paying a lot when you clean it. So make sure you check the care instructions before buying something.

1. Shop the budget-wise way

But be selective about what you purchase. Inspect for any wear and tear and make sure it is something you really want.

2. Sell your used clothing

Selling your used clothing is another way to be stylish on a budget. By selling your used clothing you accomplish three things! You make room for the things you really need or want. You make some money to buy new clothes and you’re helping out other women who also want to be stylish on a budget.

3. Buy classic pieces

Classic pieces seem never go out of style! Invest in a basic white button-down shirt, dark skinny jeans, a neutral blazer and a pencil skirt.

Keeping up with the latest beauty trends is one of the best ways to look stylish on a budget. I’m not going to tell you to buy a lot of new beauty products, but try to keep your look current. A neutral or smoky eye never goes out of style, and a nude nail polish can finish off your look. You should also pay attention to your hairstyle.

7. Borrow from your friends

When it comes to special occasions it can be very difficult to be stylish on a budget. Formal wear is very hard to find and it is so expensive. But don’t panic! Think of borrowing from your friends. But make sure you give the dress back in the condition your friend lent it to you!

8. Layering is your friend

Seriously, no matter the occasion layering can look stylish! And it’s certainly a good way to wear the same clothes over and over again without making it too obvious. Be daring and creative and when in doubt ask your friend or mom for her opinion. And don’t be afraid to mix patterns or textures!

Don’t buy flawed pieces and be sure to buy the garment that works best for your figure.

Rainy Day Rules #1: What To Wear In Wet Weather.

No raining on the fashion parade. Frequent rain gives us many reasons to hate the months between June and October – floods, flu, and your pretty new shoes ruined.

Many of us, especially those who aren’t hindered by a dress code at work, tend to go for the quick-fix pambahay get-up (i.e., shorts + hoodie + slippers) that is more a testament to laziness than a fashion statement. But don’t let this kind of weather dampen your style spirit. If anything, you should be inspired to level up that wardrobe.  I have come up with some fun and chic items to help you maneuver the showers, sprinkles or full-blown rainstorms.

Waterproof outerwear is a must. It does not have to be unfashionable. Select classy pieces to create a mature, sophisticated look, or try a few well-fit garments in playful colours to brighten up your rainy day style. 1. Avoid suede and other materials that can suffer water damage. 

Abro Brown Suede bag

Do not carry any bags in this material or wear any shoes made with this material. Unprotected leather can also get ruined in the rain. 2. Cheer yourself up with lively colours.  When the weather is grey and cloudy, your spirits naturally sink. Adding bright, cheerful colours to your wardrobe is a good way to keep your spirits high. Choose colourful pieces to add a splash of colour to your rainy day attire well at the same time staying warm. Work your Cardigans and jackets into your rainy day wardrobe. 3. Look chic in classic colours.  Outerwear and accessories in black, chocolate, or deep red create a sophisticated appearance. If a boost to your confidence is enough to lift your mood on a rainy day, stick with neutral or subdued colours that give your appearance a mature twist. 4. Treat your umbrella like an accessory. Look for a bright colour or pattern to liven up the dreariness outdoors, or opt for a chocolate brown, black or red umbrella with a wooden handle for a mature, chic look. Have fun with it, and choose an umbrella that suits your personality.

An LBD is one look that has become a style phenomenon and won’t be going anywhere soon. A little black dress is great for all occasions, casual to formal. Go for a fun silhouette or monochromatic pattern.

A basic white tee is great for those days when nothing seems to work. Dressed up with a suit or dress down with your favourite jeans.

6. Jeans:

Jeans are a stylish addition to any wardrobe. They are great for denim day at the office, a night out on the town with the girls and even a first date. Choose a style that best flatters your figure. The boot cut is flattering to most figures.

7. Pencil Skirt:

8. Denim Jacket:

 A denim jacket is great with almost everything in your wardrobe – paired with a pencil skirt for a more polished look or flirty with a dress for an evening out on the town.

What to Wear To Work Tomorrow

What to Wear To Work Tomorrow 01:7:14

Not all office environments are created equal. Corporate environments tend to be a little stricter when it comes to dress codes, so a super-stylish look might not fit in well. If you work in a more relaxed environment, you’ll have some license to play with style, says Dawn Del Russo, New York-based fashion stylist and owner of Bella Dawn boutique.
Dressing for work doesn’t mean you can’t tastefully show off a nice figure. Fitted shift dresses are safe for most offices, and you can go solid or play with a pattern. If you work in a laid-back or fashionable environment, pair a more body-conscious dress with a long-sleeve top, and belt it to cover the dress while still looking.
Here are a collection of dresses and styling suggestions for you to wear to work…

6 Styling Tips for Short Women.

If you are a short woman, then you have some advantages in the fashion world. Sometimes it can be difficult for a tall woman to find clothing, especially the fashionable clothes for the season. You can just add some length to a skirt or a pair of pants by letting down the hemline, and you can take up your pants or your skirt as much as you need to get the perfect fit. If you’re a short woman, your aim is to create the illusion of length. You can do it by tricking the eye using some fashion techniques. Check out a few best styling tips for short women!

1. Wear high waisted pants and skirts

For maximum height, try to wear higher waisted skirt or pants. High waisted pants create the illusion of height and an elongated leg. If you are shorter in stature, you should stay away from hip pant styles.

2. Wear monochromatic colors

You can easily lengthen the line of your body by wearing monochromatic colors. When you wear a different colored top and bottom, you can visually cut your body in half that makes you look shorter. This is especially true if one color is dark and the other light. Instead try to wear a monochromatic outfit in one shade of pants and shirt or skirt and shirt. It creates a long, lean line adding the illusion of height to your body. Remember monochromes will make you look longer!

3. Wear dark colors

I’m not telling you to wear dark colors all the time, but dark colors, especially monochromatic, give an elongated look to your body and add the illusion of height. A slim black pants and black top with the right accessories and black high heels can give a long, lean line that’s really great for plenty of occasions. Moreover, dark colors make you look thinner and that’s an added bonus!

4. Choose your shoe carefully

Just because you are a short woman, it doesn’t mean that you have to wear stiletto heels every day. Choose a comfortable shoe with a moderate heel and hose that matches your outfit.

5. Avoid Capri pants and flared pants

If you wear pants that cover your shoe, you will appear to be taller. The popular Capri pants can make you look shorter so don’t even think about them! Avoid flared pants. Instead, wear straight pants if you want to look taller.

6. Choose a thin belt

Bulky, thick belts can cut the length of your body and make you look shorter. That’s why you have to choose a thinner belt, of course, if you wear belts at all. Stay away from a belt in a color which contrasts with a shade of your outfit. You need to maintain a simple, clean line!
Even if you are not tall, you can still look great in the latest fashions.

7 Fashion Tips for an Hourglass Figure.

If you happen to have an hourglass figure, you should feel really proud, because a lot of women around you may be very envious of you. A woman with this kind of a body can carry off almost everything well. One of the best things about having an hourglass figure is that regardless of your weight, you have the right proportion, and can pull off any style very easily. Check out a few fashion tips for an hourglass figure, which will make you look fabulous.

1. Stay away from loose fabrics

If you have an hourglass figure you should stay away from any kind of dressing material that doesn’t compliment your natural silhouette and gives loose outer shape. Wear outfits that are structured around your natural shape of your body.

2. Flaunt your waist

Invest in some statement belts and flaunt off your waist! Since your body is in a perfect shape, you can choose from a great variety of bottoms to settle on your low-waist, mid-waist or high-waist really well. Even your hips and bust will look appealing.

3. Opt for vertical prints and V-necks

Since you have a good figure, but you want to make yourself look taller, choose V-necks and vertical prints, which make your torso appear longer by showing off your collarbone.

4. Wear pencil skirts

If you have an hourglass figure, then pencil skirts are right for you because they really hug your silhouette. They settle well on your waist and make your hips look fabulous. Not all women can pull off pencil skirts, so you should be very proud of your own body shape.

5. Choose tops with details

When buying tops, choose tops with some embellishments on the bust, the sleeves or the shoulders to divert attention to your upper body. Those details will add some volume as well as will make your waist seem thinner.

6. Wear shorts

One of the best parts about your figure is that you do not have to feel self-conscious about wearing different shorts. I usually wear a mid-waist short with a beautiful body fitted top that makes me look really hot and trendy!

7. Get body shapers

Get a good body shaper and your body will look neat and toned in most well-fitted dresses. Body shapers are especially perfect for wedding dresses, evening dresses, prom dresses, and some other dresses. Don’t worry, body shapers won’t add any additional shape or weight. They will just enhance your figure.
Don’t be afraid to try new styles and colors! Mix and match your clothing to create your own personal style. Dress nicely and always feel good about your body!

7 Signs You Are a Fashion Victim.

Not every trend looks great on every person, that’s why sometimes it’s better to wear what you like and not to follow the fashion rather than being a fashion victim. A fashion victim is the person who dresses only for the latest trend and wants to make a style statement, but usually ends up doing the opposite. Check out a few signs you are a fashion victim.

1. You wear uncomfortable clothes

If you are a fashion victim, you don’t care whether that dress looks great on you or suits your body type, you just buy it, because it’s trendy. You often buy clothes that aren’t meant for you. For example, you don’t feel comfortable in a mini dress, but you go ahead and purchase it.

2. You wear outfits that don’t suit your body shape

If you’re a woman with a not-so-flat belly and you wear a tight denim skirt, you may get weird stares and looks from most people. If you wear clothes that don’t suit your body, you might be a real fashion victim. Often your desperate desire to be in fashion can lead you to make a lot of mistakes while buying outfits.

3. You adjust your body according to the latest trend

Adjusting the body according to the latest trend is another sign you are a fashion victim! For instance, if a size zero figure is in fashion, you’ll go on a strict diet, starve yourself, live on juices just to get that size zero figure. You don’t think about consequences. All you want to do is to follow all fashion trends.

4. You wear past trends

If you continue to wear a past trend, you might be a fashion victim. You happily purchase it when it was in fashion, but you should realize that it’s gone out of fashion.

5. You wear too much of a trend

When you go to a party and you decide to highlight your eyes, your legs, and your waist to grab more eyeballs, you might end up wearing a pink ruffled pink blouse, a chunky statement neckpiece, cream mid-thigh skirt, a black scarf and wedge sandals. Just reading this is overwhelming, don’t you think? And now imagine putting all this things on together. A fashion victim often wears such clothes just to get more attention. You will get attention, of course, but only negative!

6. You wear inappropriate outfits for your age

You know there are a few looks that perhaps never go out of fashion such as the white shirt and blue jeans look. You will never go wrong in that look. However, if you think that a certain outfit would look perfect on your mom or grandma, why did you buy it? It’ll only make you look older!

7. You buy things because your best friend is buying it too

It’s not only about fashion victims, but about many other people too. If your best friend bought a really beautiful backless dress and you go ahead and purchase it too without thinking whether this dress will fit you or whether you have money to buy it, you are a fashion victim.
Sometimes it’s good to be fashionable, but don’t do it in excess and don’t make a fool out of yourself

7 Day to Night Dresses Every Woman Should Have.

Day to night dresses are very versatile and I think every woman should have them in her wardrobe. It can be difficult to find dresses that can transition from day to night, but it’s a smart way to be stylish on a budget. When looking at day to night dresses, be sure to stick to pared-down and polished styles. Here are a few day to night dresses you should have in your wardrobe!

1. The little white dress

One of the best day to night dresses every woman should have in her closet is a structured little white dress. During the day this dress can look neat and polished, but if you add a little bling on at night it will be quite the dazzling outfit!

2. The plain black dress

I don’t know any woman who doesn’t have the plain black dress. The plain black dress is extremely versatile. You can wear your black dress with your denim jacket and patent shoes during the day and you can dress it up at night with a bright lipstick and a statement necklace.

3. The black and white print dress

The black and white print dress is really versatile and good option for the day and night. I have three bold black and white print dresses and they actually help me to be stylish on a budget. I like wearing my black and white print dresses during the day with some gold jewellery and slouchy white or black blazers.

4. The color block dress

Make your every day and night dynamic with a color block dress. Perhaps the best thing about color block dresses is that they are eye-catching yet simply elegant. Be sure to keep the accessories simple during the day and pop on some dangly earrings at night.

5. The colorful dress

Brighten up your wardrobe with a colorful dress. For instance, a bright blue dress is ideal for wearing during the day and night. You can style your dress casually during the day and at night, add a statement layered necklace. And be sure to switch from a big day bag over to a nice and compact clutch.

6. The wrap dress

The wrap dress is also a versatile day to night option. Opt for a demure, midi-length design that makes it ideal for working a sophisticated and polished daytime look. You can wear your dress with your sandals or ballet flats during the day and with your heels at night.

7. The maxi dress

A great casual option for the daytime, the maxi dress can also be glammed up at night. Column-style maxi dresses are always a great option. Wear your maxi dress during the day with embellished sandals and a floppy hat for a bohemian-inspired look and then dress it up at night with some glamazon makeup and plenty of metallic jewellery.

9 Styling Tips for Tall Women.

A tall woman always gets the most attention as she always stands out from the crowd. Unfortunately, most tall women are not happy with their height and they usually dress quietly and conservatively, hoping to divert all attention from them, but this is a big mistake! Never be ashamed of your height, you are beautiful! Here are a few styling tips right for you!

1. Pair narrow with wide

If you avoid broad-shouldered jackets or wide-legged pants because you are afraid that they will make you look like a man, stop doing it! Look, if a runway model can pull off the look, why do you think that you can’t? To avoid looking “too big,” be sure to wear one oversized item at a time. For instance, wear a tight top with wide-legged pants, or pair skinny jeans with an oversized jacket.

2. Wear beautiful shoes

When people see a tall woman, first of all they check her feet to determine whether she is wearing heels. That’s why it’s so important to wear beautiful shoes! No matter whether you prefer flats or heels, just be sure to choose fab shoes that really deserve to be stared at.

3. Don’t wear heels

Well, I know, girls, you may feel more confident when you wear heels, but if you are very tall, it’s better to leave your heels at home. The best option for you is beautiful flats or open-toe sandals. If you still want to wear heels, choose mid heel shoes.

4. Be a minimalist

Try to avoid piling on everything from bracelets and necklaces to scarves, hats and belts. You are tall and you are beautiful, and you don’t have to add too much to your look. Keep in mind that one or two pieces will be enough to complete your outfit.

5. Show some skin

Don’t be afraid to show some skin. But be sure to play it up without looking skanky. Show off one area at a time. For example, if you want to wear a backless top, pair it with jeans or a longer skirt. This way you will definitely grab attention without even stopping hearts.

6. Show off your beautiful long neck

When getting ready for a night out, make sure you show off your beautiful long neck by pulling your hair back and wearing a statement necklace or a big pair of earrings that attract the eye.

7. Experiment with your hair

Most tall women think that they shouldn’t have a short hair, because they will look too masculine, but that’s absolutely untrue. Remember your hair grows back and can always be changed, so enjoy experimenting with different styles!

8. Opt for oversized accessories

If you are a tall woman, don’t be afraid of wearing thick arm bangles or carrying a large bag. Pair a wide belt with a shift dress or a large bag with jeans and a tank top. Just be sure to limit yourself to one oversized piece per outfit.

9. Think bright

Don’t be afraid to add a splash of color to your daily outfits. Sure, you don’t have to add too much, just wear red mid heel shoes with your little black dress or a turquoise necklace with your brown jacket.
