"Know Thy Body: Know your measurements before you shop.

Don't Go Too Tight Or Too Loose

Make Sure You Can Walk In Them: There are some occasions we'd sacrifice comfort for fashion. After all, four inch heels guarantee that legs-for-miles look. But if it looks better than it actually feels on your foot, you probably won't wear it. Don't waste your money (or endure the pain). Source:The Fashion Spot 

Peek-A-Boo Isn't Cute: Button down blouses are intended to do one thing and one thing alone — stay buttoned down. It looks sloppy if we can see what lies beneath your shirt. 

Be A Lone Wolf: Shop solo.

Remove Lint: A lint roller is a must-have (cat lovers, you know what we're talking about). Give your outfit a few quick swipes before heading out the door (don't forget your back and behind your legs) to catch any unwanted hair and dust on your clothing. 

The Power Of Peplum: Worried about your waist or hips? Try peplum for an instant slimming effect. It flatters every figure and does wonders at hiding unsightly bulge. 

Try On Three Sizes, Not One: Shoe sizes vary among designers and brands.

Know Your Colours: Know which colours will flatter you the most by figuring out if the undertones in your skin are either warm or cold. The experts at The Fashion Spot say women with cool undertones look best in white, black, gray, silver, and shades of blue. Women with warm undertones will be dazzling in shades of yellow, gold, brown, green and red. Source: The Fashion Spot 

Organize Your Closet

Double-Sided Tape Is A Dream Come True: Keep plunging necklines in place and prevent any fashion mishaps with this godsend. We double-swear by double-sided tape.

Invest In A Quality Iron

Get Chic With An Ultra Cute Umbrella

Work Out Stylishly: Come on, let's be serious, the gym can be an intimidating place with so many buff, sweaty bods. We'd be lying if we didn't say we never wore mascara before lacing up. But hitting the gym shouldn't make you fret. It should make you feel good. Getting some trendy workout clothes that fit your body will make you feel more confident and encourage you to break a sweat. 

Organize Your Jewelry: Store all your jewelry in a jewelry box.

Alter Your Clothes: It's important when you're investing in articles of clothing that become staples, like blazers and pants, that you have them tailored. It will ensure your money is well-spent, will make the piece that much more special and will make you feel great every time you wear it. After all, it only fits you. 

Help Boots Stand Tall With Wine: Wine bottles have another use — place them inside your boots to make them stand upright. Source: Real Simple 

Know Your Neckline: Making note of what works for you and what doesn't is key and neckline plays a huge roll in this. The neckline is the part that shows off your pretty face, so be sure to get it right. 

Know Your Arch: Shoe shopping? Make sure you know your arch type.

Donate Clothes You'll Never Wear

Learn To Pack Lightly: Packing lightly is an art. If you're going away for one week, pack three bottoms and 3 shirts per bottom. 

Nix The Change Purse

Body Shapers: Thank goodness body shaping has evolved from Victorian waspies to Spanx (after all, we want you to be able to breathe). Body shapers are ideal for hiding excess bulge (who likes the sight of love handles or muffin tops?) and allows clothes to glide on smoothly. 

Limit Accessories

Purse Essentials

When In Doubt, Overdress

Wear Nice Underwear

Sharpen Your Sewing Skills

Get Some Stay-Up Thigh-Highs

Use Nail Polish To Stop A Tear In Its Tracks

Work Clothes Need Not Be Frumpy

Take Care Of Your Undergarments

If You Feel Uncomfortable, You Probably Look Uncomfortable: Your confidence is affected by what you're wearing, as sad of a thought as that might be. So if you're feeling self-conscious about your outfit, you're likely to be tugging at it or double-checking that everything is in place all day and night. 

Invest In A Good Wallet 

Don't Overdo Belts 

Pretty Pajamas

Less Really Is More: Indecent exposure isn't classy. Celebrity stylist Jen Rade, who has dressed many beauties including Angelina Jolie, told In Style that only one body part should be exposed at a time. If you're baring your decolletage, don't also show off your legs. Remember ladies, a little bit of mystery is alluring. Some things are better left to the imagination. Source: In Style 

Add Shine To Your Step: If you're out of shoe polish, the staff at Woman's Daysuggest rubbing a bit of lotion on your shoes. It works well on the tips of pointed shoes and increases the longevity of leather by keeping it supple. Source: Woman's Day 

Watches Are Timeless: Sometimes the thought of throwing on an arm party first thing in the morning can be intimidating, which is why watches are awesome. They are classic and can represent your personality.

Make Lists

Ready-To-Wear Ensembles 

How To Wear Denim On Denim: The style experts at Refinery 29 say that doubling up on denim can work if you wear dark slim-fitting pants and a lighter slim-fitting top. You might want to break up the jean look by adding a cute belt. Source:Refinery 29 

Stock Up On Basics: Known your essentials and stock up. These include white and black blouses, a little black dress, high heels, red lipstick, diamond studs, blue jeans and anything else that has a central role in your style. Remember, these looks are timeless so investing in certain items that are more expensive but higher in quality may be wiser because they will last longer. 

Try Everything On: Make sure you always try clothes on when you shop. Yes, we get lazy doing this over and over again but it's a necessary evil. Sizes change depending on fabric, designer and store. You might also want to bring along your own accessories and shoes (or use some at the store) to get a better sense of how the complete outfit will look. You'll also save yourself the hassle of returning or exchanging an outfit that doesn't look right if you try it on before buying it. 

Don't Pretend It Fits 

Go Green: Green is this year's hottest hue according to Pantone so go wild. If you're not a fan of it (or colour in general), try incorporating it into your outfits in small doses with a green purse or some green accessories like a scarf or bracelet. 

Go Nude When You Wear White: White is a tricky colour to wear, so if you're wearing white pants, don't wear black or white underwear because it will still be visible through your pants. Instead, buy nude underwear. It's more discreet. Source:Oprah Style 

Depill A Sweater With Sandpaper: Gently rub sandpaper on your beloved sweaters to get rid of any unsightly pills. Our friends over at Apartment Therapy have tried it and they swear it works. Source: Apartment Therapy
