If you’re ready to show who you are on the inside and out, here’s a list to help you up you’re A game and find the best-dressed you:

  • Concentrate on a timeless look rather than following the trends.
  • Wear appropriate outfits for every occasion. It’s better to be a bit overdressed than underdressed.
  • Be Organized. Decluttered and organized closets will help you find whatever items you need quickly.
  • Pay attention to detail. 
  • Seek an expert’s advice if you need help. One of the great things about Nordstrom, for example, is that there’s a free wardrobe consultant who can help you with your clothing needs.
  • Invest in quality pieces. When you invest in quality (and yes, even though I consider myself a true “maxinista” I do spend a bit extra for pieces I know will last), you’re paying for great tailoring, fabulous fabrics and a piece that can work for years.
  • Know your style. There are many women who have a few different styles depending on their mood, but the well-dressed women can carry whatever style they feel at the moment.
