Simple Style Tips

Showing Style
(While Watching Your Budget)

Shop in your closet first. Most people have new or like new items just waiting to be worn. Take a look through your closet and try on items for proper fit and start your fall/winter wardrobe with the clothes you already have.

Buy the Basics. Purchase essential interchangeable items that can be mixed and matched to accommodate different occasions. Be sure to keep your work requirements and after hours preferences in mind when making selections.

Accessorize. Use existing solids and compliment with this season's hottest fashions by using accessories such as jewelry, handbags, belts, shoes, and hats.

Give Back. Donate unwanted clothing to a local charitable organization and help someone else show style while watching their budget.

I wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season. As the year nears its end, please take a moment to reflect on 2011. Set realistic goals for the upcoming year based on YOUR aspirations-and do not allow others to stand in your way. All things considered, I have had a wonderful year and look forward to setting the bar even higher in 2012!!
