Q: Take your body measurements and use them to help determine your body shape. Once you know it, search online for dressing guides based on your body shape. Take note of the cuts, silhouettes, and proportions that stylists recommend. Try on a variety of outfits based on the “dos” and “don’ts” for your body shape to see how things look on you. Then limit your wardrobe selections and styling choices to the most flattering outfits.  A few body shapes include triangular, pear-shaped, apple, hourglass, and more. Try to find the term that best describes your figure. Keep a list of your measurements on your smartphone so you have them available while shopping. This way, you can get perfectly-fitting clothes whenever it’s time to make a purchase.  Don’t try to dress for your “ideal” body by buying clothes in a size too small. Dress for the body you’re walking around in right now. You’ll look so much more stylish and you’ll feel a lot more comfortable! Consider garments that coordinate together with versatility, rather than separates that have limited use and get outdated quickly.  In general, a solid piece will stay in fashion longer than its patterned or printed counterpart. Consider fashion neutrals like black, navy, khaki, blue denim, and white. These colors will typically go with any other color mixed into your wardrobe.  .    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e0\/Dress-Well-on-a-Budget-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Dress-Well-on-a-Budget-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e0\/Dress-Well-on-a-Budget-Step-7-Version-2.jpg\/aid2260336-v4-728px-Dress-Well-on-a-Budget-Step-7-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>\u00a9 2020 wikiHow, Inc.

While neutrals are a sophisticated, versatile palette it is not the only one. For instance:  Tropical: corals, yellow, blues, greens, and whites. Black: a monochrome wardrobe with interest often turned towards patterns, embellishments, or minimalism.   To add interest to solids, look for unique textures rather than prints and patterns. If you wear lots of navy blue, find navy blue pieces in cable-knit wool, cotton, faux fur, or satin. A neutral and restricted color palette will be much easier to mix and match, and won’t be clashing.  Avoid buying prints. In fast fashion, prints tend to be lower quality, and you’ll start to see the prints fading and the fabric pilling after a few washes. Develop a small but highly functional capsule wardrobe. Whenever you’re out shopping for new additions to your wardrobe, pick clothes that work well with the pieces you already have.  Look for basic cardigans and blazers that can be layered over simple blouses and t-shirts. Choose dress shirts that would pair well with the trousers and jeans you already own. Pick out practical shoes in classic styles that can be worn with a variety of outfits. If you’re considering buying a piece but you know that you’d only be able to wear it with 1 or 2 things, don’t bother. If you have 20 great tops, 10 pairs of trousers, 5 skirts, and 2 pairs of shorts, you can technically make 340 outfits! If you’re going to splurge, splurge on the essential pieces that you wear all the time and that you’ll be wearing for years to come. Upgrade your faded white undershirts, saggy boxer-briefs, and holey socks. Aim for well-fitting, higher quality pieces that wash well. Purchase 1 or 2 neutral bras in the right cut. Extend this strategy to other essentials like shoes, outerwear, and other classic pieces.
A: Shop for clothes that flatter your body shape. Select garments that coordinate. Purchase pieces that you can mix-and-match or layer with your other clothes. Spend your money on high-quality wardrobe basics.

Q: Your vet may give you a container in which to collect the urine. If not, use a container from home that you will not use again.  Shallow containers, such as aluminum pie plates, work really well for collecting urine from female dogs. Here are other container options:  Empty cream cheese container  Shallow food storage container A dirty container could contaminate your dog’s urine, making a urinalysis difficult to interpret. Once you’ve chosen a container, wash it with warm, soapy water. Make sure it’s completely dry before using it to collect the urine. With the container ready for use, put a leash on your dog and take your dog outside. Having your dog on a leash will make sure your dog can't get away when you try to collect a urine sample.  If you have a backyard, take your dog out to where she usually urinates.  Consider timing the collection for when you know your dog will need to urinate, such as first thing in the morning or after a meal. Pay close attention to your female dog as she gets ready to urinate. You may not have a lot of time to collect the urine once your dog starts to urinate, so make sure you’re ready to act quickly. You will slide the container between your dog’s back legs, so try to stand beside or slightly behind your dog. Collecting the urine should be a gentle but swift process. When your female dog squats and begins to urinate, approach her slowly. With one hand, gently slide the container between her back legs. Consider setting the container on the ground instead of holding it.  If you hold the container, you may get some urine on your hand. Have some disinfectant wipes or hand sanitizer nearby in case your hand gets urine on it. Make sure the urine gets in the container. You may need to reposition the container if the urine is hitting the ground. Let your female dog finish urinating before you move the container away.
A:
Choose a container. Wash and dry the container. Take your dog outside on a leash. Let your dog squat to urinate. Position the container in the urine stream.
