How Much Should I Spend On Clothing?

I will be the first one to admit that clothes are a bit of an obsession for me; and rightfully so I would argue. Wearing the right clothes can make a woman feel beautiful, empowered, professional, or sexy. They help us to express our individuality, and our creativity - and personally, for my obsession I make no apologies. That said, I must also admit to being a bit of an impulse shopper and for this I am a bit abashed.

Impulse shopping is a chronic condition which can cause you to make costly fashion mistakes. It strikes when you least expect it, and can leave you feeling very unprepared to properly debate the new fashion find at hand. Will it fit? Do I have anything to wear it with? Can I afford it? These are all important questions that can easily be overlooked when your mind is clouded with the feeling of urgency brought on by impulse shopping. So what's an impulse shopper to do? We wouldn't dare give up shopping all together. No, you just need to have a good plan.

Choker Lay your scarf out flat on a diagonal. Fold the top and bottom points into the center so that they meet. From the edges that have formed roll the top and bottom up towards the center until they meet, and then overlap. Your scarf should now form a long thin strip. Wrap the scarf around your neck and tie with a double knot to secure. Rotate the knot to the side, back, or front (depending on your preference).

Bow Tie This style works best with a large square scarf. Lay your scarf out flat on a diagonal. Fold the top and bottom points into the center so that they meet. From the edges that have formed roll the top and bottom up towards the center until they meet, and then overlap. Your scarf should now form a long thin strip. Wrap the scarf around your neck and tie a bow (as you would your shoelaces) in the front. Fluff the bow and voila, you have a feminine take on the classic bow tie.
