It's all about fashion

Do's

*
Do have a stash of basics on hand: T-shirts, jeans, black shawl
* Try something that's "not you" once in a while.
* Hold on to a few of your favorite outdated pieces. You never know!
* Add a couple of stylish pieces to your wardrobe each season.
* Do buy your accessories with a thought in mind, that you can pair   
  them with at least 3 pieces that you already have.
* Always wear your size. Clothes that are too small really do not look 
  good. 
* The perfect little black dress. Every closet should have one.
* Emphasize your best feature: nice face shape, healthy hair
* Invest in a scarf that goes with the colors you wear most.
* Get a good bag that will last for years, big enough for all your 
  essentials, but not too big.
* Keep your jewelry organized. Even egg cartons or plastic silverware  
  trays will do.
 
Don’ts
* Don't over accessorize.
* Force yourself to wear something for somebody else.
* Anything that's obviously left over from days of Einstein
* Wear jewelry that jingles when you walk.
* Pierce your ears more than twice in each lobe. Never wear earrings 
  so heavy that they stretch your lobes. 
* Mix your metals. Silver jewelry is out of the question if your jacket
  has gold buttons.
* Wear rhinestones before 6 p.m.
* Squeeze a large neck into a dainty choker. It just doesn't work.

Great tips! The one about the choker fits me to a "t" (whatever that actually means!)

I never thought my neck was abnormally large, but chokers just don't fit me! And you are so right, it does NOT work to try to squeeze it in!

I love chokers myself too! I think it really stands out great! Glad the tips helped you!
