Keep a travel-size steamer for wrinkle-free clothes on the go.

Tuck jeans into boots for a sleek look.

Use adhesive hem tape for a no-sew hem.

Wear a belt to cinch oversized tops and dresses.
Buy a white shirt, black pants, jeans and neutral color tops for a basic wardrobe.
Wear a half-cami under tops to add an extra layer without bulk.
You can wear cami slips under sheer blouses, low cut tops for coverage.
Â
Wear nude-colored underwear under white clothing to avoid visibility.
Nude-colored underwear closely matches your natural skin tone, making it less visible under white clothing. Wear any other color, even white, and it will be visible through white. Try it!
Wear shapewear under fitted dresses for a smoother silhouette.
Shapewear smoothens out any lumps, bumps, or lines, of your body and gives you a streamlined and polished look. You can wear shapewear that targets specific problem areas of the body – tummy, waist, hips, thighs, and buttocks.
Collar stays help to keep shirt collars crisp.

IT NOT MUCH
As a woman on limited budget for new clothes, I love hints that help me use good thrifted or hand-me-down clothes. Our local resale shops are full of clothing made from quality materials and need only “tweeking” to fit me. Thanks for offering ways to make that happen.
Your hints are a welcomed way to make life easier and to save money. Thank you!
