DRESS FASHIONABLY, BUT DON’T BE A FASHION VICTIM

There’s a big difference between being a slave to the latest trends and being aware of them. You want the latter. Every season, the fashion industry presents hundreds of trends. Some are exciting, some are fun, some are silly, and some are downright idiotic. Your mission is to be a smart shopper and buy only the trends that work for you — your body, your personality, your lifestyle. Take your cues from the lists in this chapter — “Top 25 Clothes That Just Gotta Go” and “Too Young!” You want to dress appropriately Y&H — not with clothes that date you, and not with clothes that are designed with the twentysomething in mind. Picking up every hot trend is a little like going out with every guy you see; you have to be discriminating, or you will end up a mess. A fashion victim doesn’t discriminate but rather desperately invests in all things trendy, whether or not they look good on her.

Each season, fashion coach Susan Sommers, whose business, DressZing, helps women shop in their closets, advises her clients to ask themselves, “ ‘What one or two pieces will make my wardrobe pop right now?’ They don’t have to be super-expensive, but they should be of the moment.” If the of-the-moment piece is pricey, before you splurge, ask yourself, “Is this something I can wear after this season is over?” Treat your wardrobe as an art collection, and curate it with pieces that are worth the investment because they go the distance. If you have doubts, skip it. Know that you can always add a hit of style with more disposable items, such as of-the-moment costume jewelry and other fun, instant-gratification accessories.
