How to Be Stylish for Pennies
Learn how to find name brands and designer labels at a fraction of the retail price
6 Tips for Finding Great Clothes:
1.Scout Neighborhoods
Each store's inventory comes from the surrounding community. If you're after higher-end, classic pieces, head to a fancy neighborhood. If you are looking for funkier, more trendy items, check out a college area.
2.Buy Brands You Know and Like
That way you'll buy pieces that work with what you have and will fit as you expect them to. But always try on: The previous owner may have had alterations done, which could turn what appears to be a size 10 into a size 8.
3.Know When to Shop
Mondays (Tuesdays at Trusty Threads) are good, because people clean out their closets over the weekend. And shop often: Most store roll out new merchandise constantly.
4.If You Love It, Buy It
Chances are, there's only one. "I've had people come in, fall in love with something and walk away," "They'll come back, sometimes in the same day, but it'll be gone." If you're on the fence because you found a piece that's almost perfect, don't be afraid to take it to the tailor for alterations. It's an easy way to turn a good find into a great one!
5.Inspect Carefully
Resale stores make every effort to buy clothes in mint condition, but people do make mistakes. Before buying, check for overly scuffed buttoms and try them on to be sure that they still feel supportive. Fabric like cotton and jersey tends to wear then. Hold the item up the light to inspect for worn patches or holes. Check unexpected areas for pilling, like the hips and underarms.
6.It Doesn't Hurt to Bargain
While stores will rarely lower the price on a new arrival, pieces that have been in the store for a while, or have damage from shelf life, like sagging or hanger marks, may be fair game for a markdown.

What hat fits your face shape?
Hats For Different Face Shapes
Round Faces
Balance a round face with a hat that has a good, high crown and a decent brim
Oval Faces
Virtually any hat shape will suit an oval face, as the proportions of the face are even.
Square Faces
Floppy hats that have curvy lines work well to lessen the angles of the face.
Long Faces
A hat that has a wide brim will offset the length of a long face.

SKIN TONE COLOR MATCHING
SKIN TONE COLOR MATCHING
By: Sophia Griego
October 5th, 2010
Everyone looks good in certain colors; this is because each person has a unique complexion, hair color, and eye color. Wearing the correct color for your complexion will do wonders for you; you will look healthy and sharp. By following these seasons you should always look great in the clothes you wear.
First you must find what skin tone can be categorized as: cool, warm, clear, or muted. Determining your skin tone, eye color, and hair color will help place you in the correct season. There are four categories you can fall under: winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Each season will determine which collection of colors will look best on you.
WINTER
Winter skin tone is cool and clear.
People in the winter category will have very dramatic contrast from skin color to hair color. If you are a winter you will have porcelain white, yellowish-olive, or dark skin. Asians and Africans are often in the winter category.
The colors that will best compliment someone in the winter category are sharp and intense. The color swatches just below will look the best on a winter person. People in the winter group will want to avoid any shade of orange and brown, as they will make you look faded and ashy.

FALL 2010 FASHION TRENDS
FALL 2010 FASHION TRENDS
By: Sophia Griego
September 30th, 2010
These are just a few key items and styles to keep in mind when you are getting clothes to update your wardrobe for fall 2010. Trusty Threads has a great selection for fall items, and they have some amazing vintage pieces to die for, so come soon before they are all gone.
60s LADYLIKE
When most people think of the 60s they think of hippie style, but for fall 2010 its going to be the 60s ladylike style. This style is all about accentuated curves, hourglass silhouette and fuller figures. The granny skirt is huge for fall, the granny skirt is usually longer, gathered or pleated. The granny skirt is as it sounds: a young take on grandma dressing.
LINGERIE AS OUTERWEAR
Underwear is used as an accessory such as the ripped stockings, knee-highs, and suspenders. These trends add a little edginess and quirkiness to any outfit.
LEATHER
Leather is in for fall, leather pants, mini skirts, shorts, coats , capes and vests. Leather in 2010 can take the form of pretty much any item of clothing. Leather clothing is being taken to whole new leather for this year.
BUTTON UP SHIRTS
Button up shirts for fall go two different ways, clean preppy shirts or sloppy boyfriend shirts. Whether it's a sheer blouse, a crisp business shirt, or an elegant shirt dress, the only way to wear it in 2010 and 2011 is to button it up.
