With fashion, you can spend time to concentrate solely on yourself. It can be lots of fun and very rewarding, but many aren't sure where to start. Keep reading for some great advice that will help you expand your fashion horizons.

|Before you spend money on extras, make sure you have the essentials covered. Choose items with timeless style and versatility. For example, you might start with a typical black pencil skirt, but change the coordinating shirt or outerwear based on current trends.

|Buy a lot of basics. Target items that are always in fashion, yet work with other styles as well. A basic black dress or blazer can be worn year after year.

|Coloring your hair at summertime is a good way to add some fashion to your ensemble. Make sure, however, that you do what's necessary to maintain the health of your hair. Spend the money on a solid conditioning treatment meant for colored hair, and use it religiously to keep your color pure and your hair looking healthy.

|It is not important to be perfect when fashion is involved. Firstly, there is no such thing as perfection in this world. Also, if you try too hard, you may look uptight. Disheveled looks with messy hair, non-matching shoes, or not completely buttoned pieces like those of Kate Moss can look great.

|A great looking purse can complement your outfit, but make sure it goes with whatever other bag you are carrying. If you have a briefcase, you want it to match your purse. You should also never carry around more than two types of bags.
