When I was a girl, my mother made me stand in front of a mirror and she pointed out all my best features. (It was in those sessions that I later learned what a décolletage was.) Stand in front of your mirror, see and say out loud your favorite features.

Throw on some color, buy a different color gloss.

Wear it to another side, let it down, put it up, see what hairdo goes best with your outfit. Hair can be your pride and helps a great deal with your appearance.

When you purchase a new item of clothing, an old one must go out.

No holes, clean and fresh, polished. Shoes can make or break your look. Your shoes do not have to be by the latest fashion, but they need to be aligned with your clothing style and color.

When you have something for 10+ years and still feel and look good in it, you will know it was worth every penny.

You know it’s fake and so does everyone else. Invest in a bag. If you cannot afford a brand, then just buy some funky and trendy inexpensive bags.

Good bras are a must. You can wear clothes you didn’t think you could wear with the right bra.

Always give yourself enough time to get ready. (You may change your mind during the process!) Before you go out, look into the mirror, see if you look sharp and if you like your look. Your look does not have to be perfect, but it must feel good for you. When it does, it will give you confidence.

Clean and well-kept finger and toe nails signal a lot about a person.

Everything will not always fit just right.
