Summarize the following:
Keep in your closet at least four tops and two pairs of pants that are of a nondescript nature so that if you wear them on Monday and Thursday, no one will recognize them. Note that the set nondescript clothes should be changed at least once every two months. Then, go shopping like crazy - as long as you will actually wear what you bought. However, keep in mind how you would like to come across to other people. If you go for the simple and sophisticated look, don't get a clownish top with culottes to match. Keep a fancy black shirt and a fancy black dress handy for formal events. (Also, consider getting a semi-formal to formal non-black, non-white outfit for special occasions such as weddings.) Have at least one pair of running, one fancy black, and the remaining choices of styles and colors are up to you.  Accessories can make clothes look richer, deeper and more interesting. Besides which, accessories are just plain fun!   A small accessory can make a big difference, so take care not to overdo them. Eye-catching purses or handbags can really set off an outfit.
Go shopping. Keep at least two warm jackets and one coat that is fashionably acceptable. Own two pairs of comfortable, presentable shoes. Wear eye-catching colors in shirts or tops. Wear accessories that match or complement your clothes.
