Both large and small plaid prints are acceptable this season, and are best paired with tights and booties over a dress or skirt.

the Best Dressed

Would You Make the Best Dressed List?Would You Make the Best Dressed List?In any and every given moment of your life, you are either in command of yourself, or you are being commanded. Guy Finley
Keeping a wardrobe that is complete and always new is rare. The costs of buying clothing today and with the constant change in styles, bargains are a treasure. There is a definite challenge to being well dressed at all times, especially on a limited budget. For working women this is difficult, yet, it can be done.
The key is in the planning. It takes money to build a wardrobe, or to start over from one season to the next. When you plan your wardrobe, keep in mind your particular style or look. If you find yourself asking questions like, What on earth will I wear today? Or, I have got absolutely nothing to wear! Another favorite is to telephone a few friends to see what they are going to wear. If you find yourself doing any of these, then, your goal is to plan.
