How much money do you think you really spend on your wardrobe every month? More so if you think you are likely to attend some formal parties or dinners this season, you know your wallets are certainly going to go emptier. As a woman, I understand sometimes you feel frustrated over spending such a considerable amount of your hard earned income on clothes which arise as popular trends this season but soon fade away making the entire clothing line you bought obsolete.

This is a sad story all of us have been confronting from quiet some time but happy times have finally come because I have brought for you some dressing options which will not only help you switch your style to better clothes but also save your money .

Here we go!

You don’t have to necessarily spend big bucks on clothes which rate high on style quotient. You must also know that if the clothes are expensive doesn’t mean they are stylish as well. Style quotient has nothing to do with the price of clothes. Here are some ideal options for you!

You can invest on these items just once a year and can sit back the rest of the days without bothering to purchase the expensive line of seasonal clothes. There are stores which offer you even the smartest of dresses and other accessories at prices as low as $100. If you don’t believe this check this out!

Trendy coats!

Brights and military-inspired coats will dominate the fashion grounds the entire year this time so going for them would be a great choice. There are some cute styles available which will not only keep you warm and save you money.
Bows
Investing in bows this year will be a good decision. They add immensely to the feminine look and will never run out time. Hence flaunting them on everything from blouses to shoes will do well for you.

Longer Skirts

This year is a year of longer skirts so its time for you to switch out your old, shorter skirts for these easy to wear apparels.

There’s more to this list but I’ll talk about it in my next article! Until keep a look if any of these are hitting the markets any time soon so you can garb them at the earliest!
Wish you a good shopping year!

I have taken up a colossal task; you could say to give you all possible options to dress slimmer in myriad ways. In a few of my last articles, in this series I have spoken about how you can employ various apparels to suit your figure. However, in this one, i’ll be talking about the type of prints and patterns you can go in for to minimize your size from the bottom.

I don’t know how many of you have really heard this but a great way to balance your bottom heavy figure is to accentuate your top half with prints and bottom half with solid colors. For instance, whether you jeans, trousers or a long skirt, you can wear them with printed tops flaunting patterns such as plaids, florals and polka dots. All of these will look great on you especially if you have a heavy bottom. If you are wearing jackets, let them end just above the widest part of your hips. If you are into wearing suits, then prefer a single color for both the top and the bottom because it renders a greater length to your body and makes you look taller. This is way to give others an optical illusion you could say.

Another great way to dress yourself is wearing high waist lines. This is because if your natural waistline is thick with fuller hips and thighs, the best option for you are dresses with an empire-waist or a raised waist as we call it. With this kind of silhouette, the focus of the people will shift only to the top third of your body as your waist falls right below the bust line. These looks works best on women with pear-shaped figures and have a small-bust line.

Thus you see there are many ways in which you can camouflage your figure without giving into conventional style of wearing just that black dress all the time! So the nest time you go shopping, you know what to buy and how!

Wish you a good shopping week ahead!

Let’s make a pledge to make this forth coming year our fashionable best by becoming more aware about this genre so that we can avoid the faux pas committed in the past. However, I would like to mention here that getting fashion savvy does not mean you load yourself with all possible accessories or apparels making the rounds that season.

You know wearing fashionable clothes does not necessarily bring to you the grace and style that one is expected to possess. Clothes do play a role in it but you must know the skill of wearing the right thing at the right place. Here are some tips:

If you want to show you are a fashion buff, there is no need for you wear something that is latest on the ramp but unfortunately does not suit you. If a particular line of outfit does not suit your personality, your shape or your age, you must try your best to avoid it by all means. If you really want to make an impression, you can choose something that is more sober and classic and which suits your persona better. You clothes should seem a natural part of your personality. If you wear something that‘s too loud for you, where you’ll more likely look like a wannabe than a style diva.

If your dress compliments high-heeled shoes but you are not comfortable wearing them, then please don’t wear them just for the heck of it. Shoes play a great role in shaping the way you walk and if you give a limping impression, you are only going to put all your effort to look good down the drain. So be careful and go in for some other alternative, if you are not comfortable with a particular pair.

Remember that if there is a party at your office, never wear clothes that are too revealing or something that catches people’s negative attention to you. Remember office parties are not the places to experiment. Rather you must be sure of what should you be wearing and how to create the right impression on people.

If it is a formal occasion, you are dressing for, please make sure you do put in the effort to choose the right apparel and the accessories complimenting it. Being underdressed is the worst thing you can do to spoil your image.

So here we are!

I hope these tips come in handy for you. The most important ingredient that defines your style is your confidence, so make sure you are fly high and remain in the best of spirits in the forth coming year!
