Look like a million -- without breaking the bank!


Sure, celebrities 1 like Jennifer Aniston and Uma Thurman always look chic 2 and stylish 3 -- they also have


unlimited 4 clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can still look amazing without


spending lots of money on your wardrobe.


Simply try these 10 tricks:


1. Shop seasonal 5 sales. Make seasonal purchases -- winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, even


summer dresses -- at the end of the season. You'll get major discounts, and you'll be stocked up for next year.


2. Watch your fabrics 6. Stick to machine-washable materials, and pick dry-clean-only garments carefully.


3. Invest in wear-with-anything pieces. A great-fitting pair of black trousers and a knee-length skirt go the


distance, since you can wear them several times a week, paired with different tops.


4. Check out discount stores for basics. Discount department stores may not be the place to buy an elegant


evening dress, but they're perfect for snapping up t-shirts, basic stretch pants, and cotton undergarments.


5. Bump up your accessories. Spend your money on beautiful shoes and a great bag. Rich-looking extras


make even the simplest outfit 7 look polished.


6. Take inventory 8 before you shop. Impulse buys can be a waste of money -- especially if you splurge on a


pair of black pants, only to see your ten other pairs when you get home. Assess your needs before you hit


the stores so you won't buy pieces similar to those you already have.


7. Find a great tailor. For pieces that don't quite fit right, a tailor is an asset: He can alter them to fit you


perfectly 9. Great-fitting clothes always look better than ill-fitting ones -- regardless of how much they cost.


8. Look for store labels. Many department stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, have a house clothing brand.


They offer up-to- the minute styles but are much cheaper than big-name brands.


9. Get a great haircut. When your hair looks fabulous 10, you look more stylish and fashion-forward than when


your cut is shaggy or growing out.


10. Stay away from "outfits 11." They look too contrived 12 -- and buying separates is much more affordable 13. The


only outfit exception: A well-cut suit.

的确,像詹妮弗·安妮斯顿和乌玛·瑟曼这样的名人总是穿戴得时髦雅致,她们购置服饰也从不用精打细算,只要看看他们手指尖的最新装扮就知道了!不过,你不用花很多钱来充实你的衣柜,照样也可以把自己打扮得光彩照人。试试下面的十条小窍门:


1.购买换季减价商品。在即将换季的时候去购买衣物,如:冬天的外套、皮夹克、游泳衣、甚至是夏装。你会享受到较大的折扣,而且你也可以为来年备一些衣物。


2.注意衣服的质地。最好买可以机洗的衣料,并在选择只能干洗的衣物时一定要小心谨慎。


3.购买易搭配的衣服。很合身的黑色裤子和齐膝的短裙始终不会过时,因为你一周可以穿好几次,与不同的上衣搭配。


4.光顾打折商店购买必需品。在打折商店也许买不到端庄的晚礼服,但它却是抢购T恤衫、弹力裤和棉质内衣的极佳地方。


5.多买一些装饰品。买一些漂亮的鞋和手提包。漂亮的饰品甚至会使最简单的装扮看上去熠熠生辉。


6.购物前拉个清单。即兴购物往往会浪费很多钱。特别是当你花大价钱买了一条黑色裤子时,结果回家后发现自己已经有十条了。在去商店买衣服之前,考虑一下你是否真得需要,这样你就不会买到重样的衣服。


7.找一个好裁缝。衣服不太合身的时候,有个裁缝很重要。他能把衣服改得非常适合你。不管花多少钱,穿上非常合身的衣服看上去总是比不合身要好看得多。


8.挑选合适的商店。许多象“Saks Fifth Avenue”这样的服装店都有很好的家用服装品牌。他们有最新的款式,但是价格比一些名牌便宜的多。


9.理个漂亮的发式。如果发型做的漂亮,整个人看上去要比头发杂乱或参差不齐时更时尚、更前卫。


10.不买套装。因为套装看上去太做作,分开买更实惠些。但裁剪得体的套装除外。
