Up-date your wardrobe with what you already have
Each season many of us tend to head for the nearest clothing
store and often impulse buy on new items of clothing ending
up with a wardrobe full of mis-matched clothing and the
frustration of "I have nothing to wear" whenever opening
the closet door
Your clothes are your image How you "package" and present
yourself (dress, grooming,) speaks volumes about your sense
of quality, creativity, professionalism, how you value
yourself and respect others
The first step to a wardrobe that works well is to take
everything out and try it on
You need to be ruthless discarding garments that simply don't
look good on you or cannot be combined into outfits
When you have done this you should be left with a few items
that with a little updating will form the basis of your
wardrobe
Have you ended up with a collection of rather dark colors?
Give garments a color lift Navy can be made to look modern
by wearing a fuchsia colored scarf or a chartreuse tank top
Brown goes well with pink or sky blue Try Emerald or citrus
green with black, brown or charcoal grey and tawany brown
makes khaki look soft
To further update your wardrobe
Add fun accessories, brooches, belts, scarves
Add a fashionable handbag like the latest crocodile
textures or colors like green or orange
Add a pair of shoes in the latest bright, fun colors
Ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald green, lime green, amethyst
purple or fresh pastels in cotton candy pink or aqua Hot
styles include wedge heals, espadrilles, ballet flats,
stiletto heels, and earthy thongs
