- If you’re not looking to buy something new, stick to your little black dress. It is not a taboo to wear black to a wedding, just lighten it up with some colorful jewelry or a fun pair of heels. In terms of women’s clothes, the little black dress is the most versatile!

- It’s obvious you shouldn’t wear white, but if you’re looking for something colorful, pretty much anything goes. Try to avoid a dress in a similar color to that of the bridesmaids and decor, as you don’t want to blend in where you don’t belong.

- Determine the mood of the wedding, are the bride and groom traditionally formal? Is the venue casual and relaxed? This way you can figure out how dressy, or how casual you can dress. If it’s on the beach, then you know its more laid back and a pair of flip flops won’t be frowned upon. Also assess the weather, it’s a good idea to bring a shawl or wrap just in case it is cold but not jacket worthy.

1.      Do not rely on the fashion media too much. Fashion magazines, award shows, and online fashion sites provide a wide range of sources in women’s fashion but never follow everything you see if you do not want to be a fashion victim. Remember that most television programs and fashion magazines present fabulous outfits that create an ‘aspiration’ effect wherein they want you to buy those gorgeous clothes on gorgeous models you want to look like. Understand that those fabulous clothes are too expensive and you are not going to look like a celebrity or a supermodel if you wear those clothes.

2.      It is a known fact to the world of fashion that you should never buy any clothes that are too big or too small for your size. Little details such as the length of the sleeves or the place of the hem in your pants makes a lot of difference in your entire outfit.

3.      Be creative and mix and match your old and new wardrobe. Buying on sale is a good idea, which can give you more options in a wide range of prices. It is also important to plan your attire because little things can affect your wardrobe.

4.      Have a good investment on classic style when shopping for new clothes. Classic clothing never go out of style and can be worn comfortably. However, as we get older, we tend to become too comfortable with our style so it is necessary to always add something new every season.
