When it comes to an evening look, expect lots of sequins and glam. Whether it is sequined leggings, or a sequined tunic, you can’t avoid this sparkling trend. It was huge for New Years, and has proven to take it’s place in the fashion world by lasting through this season. It is a great way to glam up for a night out with the girls.

Office, work and other professional formal looks are also taking a refreshing turn. The style is going out of boring tweed, and into lighter fabrics. No longer will you be weighed down at work by your grandmother’s fabrics, but instead you can be light and flowy with a silk top with respectable neckline. Who says work as to be drab? The better you look, the better you feel, and you can never have an over abundance of confidence in the work place. Pair it with some bold heels and you have a modern office outfit. You can feel fashionable and glamorous in the work place just as you do when you clock out

No need to intentionally offend his pet peeves, so go with something neutral yet cute. It’s also important to be yourself and wear what reflects who you are. It is important to avoid dressing like his ex girlfriend or mom – if you know these girls, chances are this is what he is not looking for in a new date. Developing your own style will be the best bet for the first date.

Should you wear that $2,000 designer dress? Not unless you are going to fashion show. Stick with something chic, simple, and pulled together. Overdressing on the first date is not often a good idea as it can lead the date to become uncomfortable if you are overdressed and he is underdressed. An expensive dress may become uncomfortable through the date and should be avoided. You should be comfortable as well as being stylish.

Avoid caking on the makeup, and make sure to wear something you can at least walk in. Expecting your guy to carry you on your first date because your heels killed your feet is a definite, no. Rather than going for sky high heels, opt for a cute pair of versatile flats or small heels that are perfect for day, evening and anything that the date brings about.

Here are some creative suggestions on how to be trendy without breaking your budget:

1. Instead of buying a new purse, use an old one that has been inside your closet. This can give you a new look and a different attitude every time you leave the house.
2. Women’s fashion includes adding charms in your wardrobe. Purchase accessories and charms to add character to your key chain, jewelry or purse. You can even visit your grandmother’s dresser and find old and classic jewelry and make them into pretty and unique charm for you outfit.
3. By using shoe clips, you can turn your old shoes into a new and more interesting item. Shoe clips are women’s fashion accessories that are usually made of different materials with faux gems, rosettes and other designs.
4. If you want to make a statement, do not match the color of your jewelry to the color of your clothes. For instance, a lot of women tend to match their red blouse with their ruby earring. However, it is better to try contrasting color combinations such as red shirt with turquoise jewelry.
5. Take advantage of fashion accessories that are in style. For instance, if belts are in season, try looking for some pieces that can be worn as a belt such as man’s necktie or long scarf.
