Don’t always buy into the trends. Not everyone will look great on you or fit your body like we want it to. Take rompers for instance, they don’t suit every single body – we know this. So, don’t waste your money on trends that are a no from the start.

15. Invest In Staple Pieces

Invest in staple pieces for your wardrobe

And finally, aside from a bag and some pumps, invest in staple pieces that will round out your closet and create a great foundation. We learn from Linkedin how important this is. A pair of jeans, slacks, blazers, the right kind of white button-up blouse, a pencil skirt, a little black dress; these are important.
