|Don't buy something simply because of a great price. If it does not flatter you, it is actually a bad deal. You'll end up donating it and that's just flushing cash down the toilet.

}{Before getting ready to throw out your beauty products, use every last ounce of it. For a products that come in tubes, think about using a squeezer that is made for toothpaste. To get the last drops of bottled products, store them at an angle, or even upside-down. It's also sometimes helpful to remove the cap completely. This can save you money.

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This pattern makes you look wider and is completely unflattering. Instead, wear clothing with vertical patterns, which will draw attention to height rather than girth.

|Belts can be a wonderful fashion accessory. Available in a wide array of fabrics and styles, belts offer endless opportunities to express your fashion style. Add a fluorescent, thin belt to your skinny jeans and be in fashion, or use a patent leather belt for a sophisticated look.

}{Don't follow a trend just because it's "in." What looks amazing for a runway model might not look great on you. Follow your tastes, not whatever flavor is popular in the most recent fashion magazine. You are going to want to go with your gut on this. You won't be led down the wrong path.
