FASHION COUNSEL

Its important to have a classic wear in any woman's wardrobe, they define who you are and who you present yourself to be.
Choose colours that say something about you not just to complement your skin colour, if you are an outgoing person and boisterous choose the new loud neon colours but if you are genteel and mellow wear more pastels for a perfect fitting.
Avoid trying to look perfect in an outfit all the time, go for those simple dresses, accessories, red lipsticks that can bring out the best in you for the best looks come easiest.
Wear your hair in the simplest manner that best suits your facial structure and looks, avoid dodgy hair styles.
