What Not To Wear is a fantastic resource for ideas and fashion advise. They cover a wide spectrum of people and their tastes.

Just remember, you don't have to go to an extreme to add a little "cute" or "girly" into your wardrobe. A little goes a long way. Skirts, frilly tops, and even girly accessories help. It really depends on what you want to do!

Honestly, WNTW has helped me immensely. They've given out a lot of advise that I've applied to my personal wardrobe to help snap it up some. Its amazing how simple it can be.

Ditto here. All hail Stacey and Clinton! They have a book out, but the show is way more informative.

So much great advice here.

One rule I have is, Not too big...not too small.

Either is not flattering.

Did I miss it...are you looking for casual clothes, go out clothes, or work/business clothes?

Oh, another rule. Do NOT pull off the tags/throw away receipts until you are certain you will keep it/like it/fits. Make sure and decide/try it out/on before the return date expires. It SUCKS to have clothes you wish you'd returned in your closet and there is no reason you can't change your mind and take something back.

When you go back, you'll probably find something else, too.

Oh, and don't forget the right shoes. I would go for styles that are most comfortable to you...at first. Gradually work up to higher heels {if you want to}. They do make the legs look nice, I like the ones with the straps around the ankles as well as boots are back for the winter....

Mostly...

Have Fun!!!

I agree with FUN

Stacy and Clinton! The Brits have my vote. S&C pale in comparison.

[katiesue]

I agree. Trinny & Susannah rule!

I used to be the total tom boy. Total. Ask Erica. She pretty much fainted the day I wore pink.

I'm still not super girly. I don't like skirts or dresses. But, a frilly top, or lace can add a world of girly to an outfit. Cute shoes can add a world of girly too.

But I have to say, the few times I've seen you you were dressed girliyish.

I'm sure Allybell will be here shortly. I can see the radar spinning. SHe is the girlie queen.

I've been adding gobs of pinstripes to my wardrobe. Not sure why - just all the cute pants seem to be pinstripes.

I frequently have my mom shop for me, so I add my voice to those that suggest taking along someone who's good at it.

re WNTW (and that show changed my fashion life): I love Stacy and Clinton...the Brits are waaaaay too serious about it -- geez it's only clothes!

Anyway, I used to pretty much only wear black, and was overly-modest...now, well all that has changed! I threw my old rule-book out and now will try anything on. It's very freeing and fun!
