Your New Year Fashion Resolutions – top tips!
Saturday, December 31st, 2011
The New Year is almost upon us. While you are busy writing your list of resolutions about health, fitness, work, relationships etc., don’t forget to make your fashion resolutions too.
If, like most people, you are on a budget, you can make small style changes that will make a huge difference to your overall look. Check out these top seven fashions resolutions for 2012
1. Don’t be afraid of colour in your wardrobe. Invest in accessories in new and vivid colours (always ensure you are wearing colours that suit your own unique colouring). If you are in the habit of wearing black (or other neutral colours) all the time, inject new life into your wardrobe with new and interesting scarves, bags or jewellery.
2. Spend the most money on the clothes you wear most. Invest in classic pieces. Whether you wear a suit or jeans for most of the week, this is where you should spend the most money. Cost per wear – thats what its all about.
3. Texured or patterned tights are really fashionable now. And very affortable too. If you like to show off your legs, opt for brighter colours. If not, keep to a darker colour with an interesting pattern.
4. Start shopping in your wardrobe again. Look for interesting and new ways of mixing and matching. So many women say they are not good at this. However, putting different pieces together is a great way of changing and updating your look.
5. The key to looking good is to always wear clothes that are clean, pressed and in good condition. If you have items that need attention, put them on your to-do list now.
6. Shopping in the sales is always a good time to purchase items that might otherwise be outside your budget. However, same rules apply. Do an audit of your wardrobe needs before embarding on your shopping trip. Make a list and stick to it.
Do not be tempted to buy something just because it is hugely marked down.
7. Spend some time on your hair and make-up. There is nothing better to put the zing into your look than a great hair style, good skin-care routine and some make-up!
Have fun and best wishes for a happy and stylish 2012!
