Whether it is a casual outfit for work, or something for the cocktail circuit, or comfortable travel wear, do your homework. You must learn what you need for specific occasions. Believe it or not, your appearance does help in taking you places.

Have a low maintenance beauty regime. Don't go in for exotic hairstyles that take ages to look right. Learn beauty tips that make you look good in no time at all.

The big secret is in knowing what suits you and what doesn't. You'll learn this through trial and error. Get the basics right. Certain colours, certain styles flatter you. Some others don't. Capitalise on those that work for you. Wear what you will with elan, with confidence.

Accessories are little fashion statements that can keep you updated on latest fashion. They are trendy and fashionable and don't cost much. And accessories can change the look of an outfit. Choose them well.

If you have good clothes, take care of them. The finest of fashions won't look good for long if neglected or treated badly. If you look good in something, make sure you make it last. Treat your clothes well.

Look out for good bargains and sales. You can get more than your money's worth on these occasions. Most of the items are durable and wear well. And they are remarkably priced down. Do your homework. Learn when and where the genuine sales come up    and just swoop!

Always pick a beautician who understands your needs and wants. She may have ideas of her own, but you must take control of what is being done to you. Don't agree to a new look that is going to make you feel uncomfortable.
