TIPS ON DRESSING WELL

Look professional without spending a lot of money:


No plunging necklines, clinging short skirts or tight tops.


No scuffed shoes, chipped nails or wrinkled, soiled clothes.


Wear the best quality you can afford. Remember what Mom always said: Spend more on shoes and purses than the outfit because good, well-made shoes and a purse make a $10 dress look like a million bucks.


Act like an Italian. Splurge on one or two good, classic pieces a year and take care of them. They'll last you a lifetime, and you will always look well-dressed.


Subtle, sophisticated colors look more expensive and authoritative, but if bright colors are becoming to you, wear them occasionally. Black is always good.


Finish an outfit with jewelry and fine accessories, then try this: Stand in front of a mirror and spin around. When you come to a stop, remove whichever piece catches your eye first.


Be individual, wear a signature piece -- a ring, bracelet or color -- that makes you feel unique


Being well dressed involves knowing yourself - your lifestyle, your best colors, your best clothing styles, best hairstyles and so much more. However, if you pay attention to the following three steps you will be on your way to looking great.

1. Keep clothes wrinkle-free. No matter how expensive your clothes are or how well they fit if they are wrinkled you will lose all credibility. Take care of your clothing by keeping them well pressed and hang them to prevent wrinkles. Before you buy pants, skirts or blouses check to see how easily they wrinkle by taking a little of the fabric in your hand and squeezing for two seconds. If it wrinkles don’t buy it.

2. The perfect fit. Clothes that fit well will make you appear slimmer and present a more polished look. It is amazing how much difference an inch taken off or added in a certain place can make. Why nip and tuck your body when you can nip and tuck your clothes and get the same result?

3. Grooming. A neat, fashionable hairstyle, subtle makeup and good overall grooming are the final touches to a well-dressed look.

A polished look can be yours every day, if you dedicate a little time and effort up front to learn about yourself and how to choose the right styles and colors. It’s the first step to investing in you.
