What Will You Have In Your Closet This Season?

That is the question I pose to you
.
Fortunately, you can turn to various outlets for guidance in the style department. Whether you prefer to hang out on Chic Galleria for Beth's interviews with industry professionals, pick up the latest issue of Style and Lucky Magazine and study its entire contents, or watch how Veronica Webb and Tim Gunn on Bravo's "Guide to Style" help to transform women's lives by helping them find the right pieces; now is the time to evaluate what you have, what you don't need anymore, and what you intend to purchase.

As I have mentioned before, shopping lists are very helpful if you intend to revamp your look. However, the most important factor I will be firm about: knowing your budget. It's too easy to get sucked into this discount or that sale if you really do not need the item or CAN'T AFFORD IT.

During this crucial economic period, you should never wind up at a loss simply because you weren't closely monitoring your spending. So I suggest for every fashion magazine, Reality TV show, or Web site you visit, make it a point to see what someone like Suze Orman, a financial guru, has to say. Also, if you prefer to charge your purchases, are you aware of what your credit report lists and what your credit score is?

What I hope you have in your closet this season is not necessarily a rundown of fall must-haves in this color and that. No. I hope your wardrobe consists of affordable pieces, precious items that can be recycled each year if need be, and versatile fashion that allows you to wear the same thing 10 different ways.

Are YOU on the right track?
