How To Start a Fashion Workbook

For those of you who don't have one... it's time you created one for yourself.

Difficulty: N/A

Time Required: N/A

Here's How:

1.   You will actually need two books. One that stays at home with you and one that fits nicely into your purse.

2.   Fill the purse size notebook with thoughts that occur to you when you are out. These can be transferred to your proper workbook when you get home. (See tip 1)

3.   Borrow ideas from TV shows. If you see an outfit that you like, copy down the details and then head for the mall.

4.   The same goes for catalogues. If you see an outfit that you like, cut it out and put it in your purse size notebook. You are going to take it with you to the mall. The purpose... to find items that duplicate the look.

5.   Go through your closet and list what you have. Is there something missing? Transfer your needs list to your purse notebook. (See tip #2)

6.   Soap operas are a great place to view what accessories are being worn at that particular moment. Take notes and transfer to your purse notepad.

7.   Is someone recommends something that you could use, pencil it into your notebook. See tip #3.

Tips:

  1. I noticed today that women don't notice how scuffed their boots are and it looks dreadful. I am not going to make that mistake.
  2. I went through my closet and realized that I could use more blouses for winter. I didn't realize until I analyzed my wardrobe.
  3. The beauty forum connected to this site is a great place to find out about superior products. Why buy something without some sort of endorcement.
