1. Choose your signature look. Decide what kind of clothes you need for different purposes (especially in your daily life), and then what kind of style you want to dress with ideally. When you get to the store, stick to that style with your purchases.
2. Buy clothes that flatter you and that will make you feel good about yourself and your body. If you wear rags and “house cleaning” clothes all the time, it will be absolutely impossible for you to maintain a proper sense of self-worth, as well as the confident demeanor that goes with it. Don’t ruin your chances with what you put on in the morning, before you’ve ever even stepped out the door. You’ll be sure to see the difference in how other people treat you as well. And don’t use your diet struggles as an excuse to dress poorly. Pony up the money to look good anyway. It will put you in a more positive frame of mind to stick with your diet. ”If I can look this nice at this weight, think how much better I’ll look at my goal weight!!”
3. Choose classic pieces with quality material and construction. Certain pieces, such as a black pencil skirt, a leather jacket or coat, dress shirts, or a wool jacket, are pieces you can ALWAYS make use of. Make sure to grab opportunities to get these items, well made and well tailored. They will stand you in good stead for years to come.
4. Watch the colors. Colors can make pieces difficult to match to other pieces in your wardrobe. If you’re on a budget, stay with a more monochromatic wardrobe that will give you more flexibility.
5. Organize your closet so you can easily find what you need. Put clothes of a certain type together, so that you’ll always be able to locate them.
What Classic Pieces Does A Woman Need??
1. Accessories. A few classic pieces with a little pop will ensure that you always look finished.
2. Black dress. A basic dress that fits well and is suitable for any place from the office to the red carpet. It will also be handy for funerals.
3. Cardigan. A neutral “sweater jacket” is an easy way to stay warm on a chilly fall or spring day, without looking to bulky.
4. Jeans. Choose quality material with some stretch, and a flattering and classic cut. If you get a long enough pair, you can dress them up with heels, or roll a single cuff and wear them with flats.
5. Suit. A well-made suit will take you through business meetings and other formal “business” occasions, as well as giving you two handy, separate pieces: the jacket and the dress pants or skirt.
6. T-shirts. Go for a variety of neck shapes and sleeve lengths.
7. White button-down shirt. This will work with your suit and also with your jeans, to be either dressy or more casual.
8. Flats. These can keep you looking stylish but comfortable, especially if you are NOT comfortable walking around in heels all the time. Constant pain and grimacing is not stylish.
9. Heels. Every woman needs a good pair of basic black pumps.
10. Handbag. Choose a classic style, just large enough and with enough pockets to accommodate all of your personal supplies, so that you are always prepared.
