|A great looking purse can complement your outfit, but make sure it goes with whatever other bag you are carrying. If you have a briefcase, you want it to match your purse. You should also never carry around more than two types of bags.

|Create your own special style. It is easy to dress like everyone else, but you should create a style all your own. You have to be comfortable with yourself in order to do this. Although once you decide to follow this path, you will notice the increase in compliments you receive.

|Buy a lot of basics. Target items that are always in fashion, yet work with other styles as well. A basic black dress or blazer can be worn year after year.

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.

|Do not strive for perfection in fashion. Nothing in the world is perfect. Also, if you attempt perfection, you may look like you are investing too much time and effort into the process. Some of the most successful fashion models have had at least one flaw, such as a long forehead or a gap between the teeth.
