There is one trick I will tell you about to make sure that it will never happen to you. Make sure everything you buy even if it’s for a formal event ask yourself. Will I be able to wear this more than once? If the answer is NO, do not buy it. The key to having more style-able clothing is to buy pieces that can be easily transformed without anyone knowing you repeating a certain item. I have so many dresses that I have only worn once and now they just hanging in my closet, I have no Idea how to wear them now, but I will figure that one out.
Shopping is a skill not every woman have, that is why some have to hire personal shoppers to do their deeds and some don't. You see It is very easy to just pick clothes, pay for them, and wear them, I mean who can’t do that. The real problem is when you find out that most of the things you have bought you can only wear once. This has happened to me to many times, I am smart now.

1. Show Skin Strategically You can't just show it all off, otherwise where is the mystery right? Choose one, only one body part and show it off. Like this one shoulder dress. 2. Accessorise in Brights A closet with a lot of neutrals can get a little boring over time, so spice things up by getting more bright accessories, you will be surprised at what a difference they make. 3. Think Double or Even Triple If you can find a sheath dress or a pencil dress that fits you perfectly, why not get 2 or even 3 of them, i mean if it works than it works. 4. Get to Know Your Stretch The secret recipe for a soft but fitting T is 95% cotton and 5% lycra spandex. For jeans to hold their shape they need at least 2% lycra. 5. Wrap a Scarf
Scarves are the ultimate accessory when it comes to wanting to transform a simple T to chic. Carry one in your bag when you want to transform, through it over. All Cotton tee shirts
Lets face it a lot of people go to gym wearing their old stretched out cotton t-shirts. This can be the worse piece of clothing you can wear to gym because cotton absorbs sweat and it does not release it quickly leaving you with chills and irritated. Go for fabrics that hold moisture away from the body like, CoolMax, Capilene or Dri-FIT. Revealing Tank tops Before leaving the house to go gyming make sure that you have tested your tank top from all angles to make sure that you won’t be flashing anyone at the gym with your boobs that can be very embarrassing. Bend forward, reach and lean sideways and do jumping jacks to check the bounce factor. Baggy sweat pants These pants tend to catch on to things like the exercising machines, I have seen this happen to many people before so your only option would be leggings, because they fit to the body, or shorts. Thong Underwear I know that we don’t like the panty line to show in our tight leggings, but the thong underwear is not a good solution because when you exercise and get sweaty rectal bacteria can travel along the thong to the vagina which can lead to infections both in the vagina and urinary tract. So opt for seamless underwear they best for gyming. When it comes to sleepwear everyone does this one different. Your get the woman that sleep naked, the T-shirt woman that will wear only a t-shirt to bed, than you get the woman that will make the effort of wearing full pyjamas, because this type woman goes to bed fully dressed. To be honest I’m all of the above, which woman are you? Pyjamas is the one thing I look forward to when I come home from work, and I think the cotton ones are way to awesome because they feel soft and comfortable against the skin.
Before I even start this blog post, I need to say this, petite women came in all different shapes and sizes. Women that are 5’4 and under are classified as petite. So if you believed that petite woman are generally skinny, don’t worry I used to believe that too.
2. If you are a smaller frame, don’t be shy to look at the children section in retail stores, I actually got this tip from one of my friends so you not alone. Sizing will not always be on your side, so when shopping look at measurement instead. Try a fitted dress. 3. Using layers is great for faking a fitted look because sometimes you will find that a shirt will be big and baggy in some parts, so layering it with a blazer is a great way to achieve a well fitted look. 4. When it comes to maxi skirts silhouette is important. Be careful of maxis with too much volume at the bottom, wearing a tight fit top will balance your outfit. 5. Be confident and comfortable in everything you wear and celebrate your body shape and size.
Sometimes playing colour safe in fashion can make you look a little boring or predictable. If you don’t know how to colour match, don’t worry it’s okay I will help you. But before I tell you about colours let me first explain about neutrals. Neutrals are colours that match with all the other colours. You should already have a few neutral colours in your wardrobe. Examples of neutral colours are;
So to make colour matching easier for you, I am going to teach you the one colour trick, which is all about popping you outfit with one colour. Since neutral colours don’t clash, you can add any colours to them and make them work. So instead of mixing and matching like crazy, hoping that you won’t look like a clown. You can just wear all neutral and then pop your outfit with one bright colour. Some examples of using the one colour trick;
You don’t have to restrict yourself with just colour, you can also apply the one colour trick more than once in one outfit. As long as the other colour is in the same family. See how the brazer is a bright yellow and the heels are a mustard yellow, two different colours but from the same family. With this easy trick you will never go wrong with mixing colours again. So go out buy some colour and mix and match. And remember it takes only one colour to pop your outfit. So Happy Friday ladies, the weekend is finally here yeah :) and I bet you all excited.

Pencil skirts are a wardrobe staple, and the best way i love to #style it is with a t-shirt. I feel like pairing a pencil skirt with a t-shirt it some how balances the look, leaving you looking casual but sexy at the same time. But i love skirts made out of stretch fabrics because it leaves room for movement and they much more comfortable than those stiff ones.
