From rejuvenating your makeup regimen and committing to a fitness plan, to staying on budget, the new year inspires positive change. This year, add one more resolution to your list: Devote some time to researching the quality of your clothing before heading to the cash register. "Today's clothing is not as durable as it was a few decades ago," warns Russian designer Marina Makaron. "Quality has dropped whether you shop mainstream or cheap Sunday market." Studying the quality of your apparel ensures you'll get the most wardrobe bang for your buck -- and looking fabulous in the process certainly doesn't hurt.
