1. MAKE SURE YOU CAN WALK IN THEM
We all sacrifice comfort for looking good sometimes, yet nothing looks worse than a girl drunk walking! The shoes can look gorgeous but they can also make you look bad. Donโ€™t waste your money.

2. SHOP SOLO
Going shopping alone will help you concentrate more on what you want and what youโ€™re looking for. Having a friend shop with you is great but can also be confusing.

3. TRY ON MORE THAN ONE SIZE
Sizes vary among designers and brands. Make sure you donโ€™t buy your size without trying it on first. Then try on different sizes as well so you can be sure which one suits you best.

4. KNOW YOUR COLOURS
Know the colours that flatter your figure and your skin the most and avoid the ones that donโ€™t!

5. INVEST
Yes! There is such thing in fashion. Invest in an expensive jeans, blazer, bag, or shoes. These are four items that will stay with you for a long time, so try to pick basic ones that will never go out of trend.

6. WHEN IN DOUBT, OVERDRESS
Thereโ€™s nothing worse than showing up at an event underdressed! If youโ€™re confused about the dress code, overdress!

7. FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE
Your confidence is affected by what youโ€™re wearing, so if you feel uncomfortable in your clothes, you probably look uncomfortable to people around you. Always make sure youโ€™re confident with your outfit before you head out!

8. STOCK UP ON BASICS
White and black blouses and tank tops, a little black dress, high heels, red lipstick, diamond studs, blue jeans, and anything that has a central role in your daily style and outfits.

9. SHOW SKIN STRATEGICALLY
Choose one -only one- body part and show it off. Donโ€™t show everything youโ€™ve got, otherwise whereโ€™s the mystery?

10. UNIQUENESS
Always have a unique style or wear a specific item that represents you and who you are. (A special converse, a scarf, a braceletโ€ฆ)
