Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Glamour girl or aviator sunglasses
• Tasteful chunky bracelets
• Tan, white and black pumps
• Silver and gold hoops
• Thin and wide, low-slung belts

1. Choose an outfit and assess whether it is casual, dressy or in between and into which genre it falls: Western chic? New York? Hollywood? Conservative? Where are you heading off to?

2. Find the perfect shoes. Shoes often make or break a good outfit. Think carefully about the color and the style. Try on several pairs of shoes before deciding on one pair.

3. Accessorize your outfit with bracelets, necklaces and belts, although choose wisely between the three types of accessories. Don’t pile on bobbles; you’ll look gaudy.
