Step 1
Fashion Tip #1: Be sophisticated. Scarves are the ultimate trump card in fashion. They can turn nice Macy’s suits into saucy Milan sensations. With suits and collared shirts, look for delicate small scarves that have a slight different pattern or color than either your suit or shirt. Tie the scarves on the side with some flourish. Why be Reece Witherspoon when you can be a modern day Audrey Hepburn? Buy these gems at fashion trunk shows; otherwise, stop into some of the Bucktown boutiques.
Long silky scarves can make any sweater or cardigan
look lavish. Layers and colors combined make the
image. Loosely tie the long scarf in the front. This
is the parallel to men’s ties but is sooo much more
feminine and confident. Sweater, suit jacket, scarf.
Of course if you do not usually wears scarves, be
prepared for the childish ribbings from your
co-workers, “So I guess the date went well last night”
or “A little mishap with the vacuum cleaner?” That’s
when you say, “Fashion” and walk away. Throwing
coffee in their face is optional and completely
depends on how badly you need the coffee that day. -
Step 2
Fashion Tip #2: Be outrageous. I was flying to New York for the weekend and on the plane I envisioned the perfect pair of leg warmers. Fuzzy white ones to keep me warm in a notably outrageous way.

Step 3
Fashion Tip #3: Every woman has some version of a peacoat or some wooly button down thing that is cute but could probably use a little glam. Long, soft leather, hand-stitched leather gloves-perhaps Italian, caramel colored ones, are the way to go.
