Patterns:Today's fashion trends have a lot to offer, more than just the prints on your clothes, in terms of patterns.

But all other aspects of designer shoulders, the well placed neck line, the back cut etc comes at a high premium. While keeping at the definition of classics here too, there are some key patterns one needs to have in her clothes to be able to wear it anytime, anywhere but still not look out of fashion. The plain colors with no pattern have been there in trend since centuries and it almost goes as a norm. Also not to be forgotten are the entire classic stripes, vertical or horizontal, with the combination of good colors. While for a slightly casual mood or a drink out with friends, the quintessential natural flower pattern or even the polka dots of yesteryear adds that much needed extra jazz to your fashion as well as life.

are you a nurse, a policeman, a doctor, or something along those lines? Kids copy everything you do and say, they always want to be like and dress up like their mummy or daddy. There are many kiddie costumes of uniforms such as the fireman, the S.W.A.T policeman, the ER doctor, the paramedic, and many more. Maybe you have something from work you can tailor to fit your child, or maybe you need to buy the costume but they can borrow a few items that fit well to finish off the outfit, have a look around and see what you can come up with.

Nothing cranks up the power play better than dressing up as your favorite alpha-female. You can get inspiration for this from everywhere: books, movies, cartoon characters. Into comics? Why don't you go as Wonder Woman? Loved Disney movies as a child, dress up as that ultra-chic but ultra-evil Cruela De Ville.

These are usually the things we must consider in picking evening dresses. The most important thing is you feel comfortable and at ease with yourself.

Focus on replacing calorie filled drinks with water. In general we underconsume water and our bodies would function more efficiently and burn more fat if we drank our share of water. To enhance your mini skirt dreams you should be drinking roughly 0.8 ounces of water for every pound of bodyweight. This equals roughly 14-18 8 oz glasses of water a day. One very important reason for doing this that when your kidneys are not getting enough water your liver has to kick in to help out. Your liver is responsible for metabolizing fat and using for energy. If it has to help out the kidneys then your body isn't going to burn as much fat as it should. This lead to failure of your mini skirt dreams.

Bring the entourage, but don't buy. It's fun and useful to bring your mother, friends or sisters on the dress-shopping expedition. It gives you a buffer against an overbearing sales staff, and it's fun to see if your impressions of perfection are shared by your loved ones, not to mention how they'll love being part of such an important decision. But no matter how enthusiastic everyone gets over a certain dress, don't buy in the heat of the moment. Give yourself time to reconsider and buy with a cool head later, alone. The vast majority of dresses are non-returnable, so when you've bought it, you've bought it.
