Let's face it. Not all of us can afford to revamp our wardrobe every season! If that sounds like you, what you need are a few fashion tips that will last you all year round. Even if your clothes do not change, keep your look fresh in these simple ways!

Accessorize

You can dramatically change a well-loved outfit with a few funky new accessories. There are many stores stocking reasonably priced jewelry, purses and scarves that will take you from drab to fab instantly. Brighten up your classic corporate suit with an interesting, inexpensive necklace; turn old jeans into bohemian chic by using a simple scarf in place of a belt.

Timeless fashion pieces

There are fashion items that will do you well any time of the year. You can get through every season with a combination of as few as six great looking pieces:

Wonderful shoes

You will only need one pair of fabulous flats to complement any outfit. Choose good quality leather and a simple style to ensure longevity, and you'll be able to pair them with dress pants or a summer skirt.

The LBD

It's true, the Little Black Dress is still alive and well in the 21st century! Dress it up for the evening with great heels or don a casual sun hat for a summery brunch date.

Your Coat

A beautiful coat is definitely worth investing in. Wear it over your corporate outfit on crisp winter mornings, and take it out on the town on those balmy spring evenings. Black, dark browns and bone or tan are simply timeless, and a wool blend will last for years to come.

A Classic Purse

Timeless style is compulsory when purchasing a great purse. There are thousands of inexpensive wallets and handbags available, but be choosy when selecting a life partner. Go for fine leather in black or tan, without flashy bells and whistles; instead look for more elegant styles.

Tailored Pants

Nice pants are a necessity in any balanced wardrobe. Having the perfect cut tailored to your taste and style will provide you with years of versatile and classy fashion.

The Interesting Shirt

Buy just one or two shirts that make people go ooh, look at that! Alternate them between a casual corporate environment and a night of partying with the girls.

Dress to suit your coloring

There's nothing worse than looking completely washed out in what's otherwise a great outfit. Avoid wearing the wrong colors for you by first determining your skin and hair tone. Greens and browns look wonderful on porcelain redheads, while white and natural colors are beautiful on dark skin. Consider using an image consultation to make sure you get it just right then you'll avoid color crises in the future!

Dress to suit your body shape

There are two tips for wearing the right clothes for your shape:

1. Always buy the right size

2. Don't hide behind your clothes

Trying to hide a body shape that you're uncomfortable in is completely unflattering. Larger women should choose styles that draw attention to great cleavage and shapely legs. Tall, slim women should dress in more tailored lines that accentuate a tiny waist and give the illusion of a more curvaceous figure. Whilst petite women are fortunate enough to wear just about anything they like, but should stay clear of three-quarter length pants and cropped shirts that may shorten the look of the body long slacks and skirts are best.

Don't buy in to 'fads'

The most important, fool proof way to make sure your fashion items will last the whole year round is to avoid fashion fads. What looks great on the catwalk might not be quite so wonderful once it makes it to your wardrobe, so take care in choosing the right pieces to suit you and your personality. Be consistent in your style, don't blow your whole budget on one item, only to have it stick out like a sore thumb when the rest of your outfit is hand-me-downs from your cousin!
