Fashion trend tips :
If you want to use your handbag to add a pop of colour or interest, get coloured handbags either on sale or at lower priced stores - handbag colour trends can change quite quickly, and you don't want to be stuck with a bright yellow or pink designer handbag next season if the new trend is more natural - same goes for shoes.
Hot colours for blazer jackets this season are peach, blue and red - these are all great and can be worn again next year only if these colours suit you and your personality. Consider this before splashing out on one in a trending colour.
Leopard & animal print is big at the moment, and always comes in and out of fashion very few seasons. The secret here is only wear one leopard printed item at a time, and be very careful if you want to wear a leopard printed dress, as this could go horribly wrong - you want to look sexy & classy, not slutty.
Rather follow the season's trends by adding a few accessories to your classic pieces - this is a cheaper way to always look up to date with the latest trends.
For this winter try out scarfs, statement necklaces, hats, clutch purses or gloves to look more trendy.
Tricks to keep in mind :
Think in three's! A three piece outfit (pants, top & jacket/cardigan) can be mixed and matched with another three piece outfit to make 12 different outfits! A dress can only ever be one outfit.
When you are trying clothes on, ask yourself if you already have at least three other items to wear it with - if not, you'll need to buy at least another three items to get enough wear out of the clothing for it to be worth it - so, best you put it back on the rack (unless you have an unlimited budget).
Always buy in your size, don't ever be temped to buy a sale item in a slightly different size just because it is a bargain.
Evaluate your lifestyle and ask yourself :
Where will you wear the item?
How many times will I wear the item in one year?
How many times will I wear the item in one year?
Work out the 'cost per wear' to determine the item's value.
