Fashion mistake most women make...
and how to fix them. You would never dream of making an obvious fashion faux pas. But even dedicated fashionistas sometimes run the risk of making style snafus.
Here are fashion traps to avoid:
1. Relying too heavily on the fashion media. You buy all the fashion magazines religiously, watch awards shows, read the paper and keep up with all the online sources. How could that be a mistake? By relying too heavily on the media to rule your wardrobe, you run the risk of being a fashion victim.Remember: most magazines and TV programs about fashion produce an "aspirational" effect. They present you with fabulous clothes you'll want to buy on fabulous models you'll want to look like. The problem is that a) you probably can't afford any of the clothes they show and b) you're never going to look like a supermodel or acelebrity.
2.Buying clothes that don't fit. You probably already know that you should NEVER buy something too small, thinking you'll lose weight -- even if it is a Rs. 100 T-shirt you picked up off Commercial Street. But did you know that little details like the length of your jacket sleeves or the place your pants hem rest can make or break an outfit? The best way to get perfect fit is to have a tailor alter the garment.
3.Creating a mish-mash wardrobe by buying odds and ends. Buying up odds and ends on sale may seem to make sense. After all, the easy availability of off-price merchandise has lulled us into thinking that minor purchases won't blow our wardrobe concept or budget. Actually, it's the little things that kill your wardrobe. Without a plan, you can end up with tons of clothes and nothing to wear. But it is never to late to change your habits
4.Getting stuck in a style rut. Sticking with classics has been conventional style wisdom for ages, and for women with full lives and limited resources this is still a sure way to investment dressing. The problem is that as we grow older, we sometimes become a little too comfortable wearing our old standbys (or just doing "replenishment" shopping each season). Sometimes all it takes is tweaking the basics that you already own to look fabulous.
    How To Develop a Signature Style Anna Wintour has her dark sunglasses, Donatella Versace has corn-blonde hair and Phillip Bloch is never seen without his Kangol cap. Learn from these style arbiters and find your signature statement.
    Here's How:
1. Take a serious assessment of your overall current style, deciding if you are traditional, modern, fashion-forward, casual, hippie natural, etc.
2. Determine what you are trying to accomplish with your signature style: to be more memorable, develop an always chic look or have more fun with fashion.
3. Study famous tastemakers and what makes them visually memorable. Many use "props," such as Karl Lagerfeld and his fan or Britney Spears and her belly button.
4. Don't hesitate to imitate a look and make it your own, making sure it fits into your current style and personality.
5. Decide what you would be most comfortable changing: your hair, wardrobe colors or accessories.
6. If you're choosing a striking new hairstyle or color, try the new look in stages to see how it works.
7. If you are choosing a bold new wardrobe color, start by incorporating it as a shirt, tie or scarf color to see how well it works for you.
8. Relying on accessories -- sunglasses, big pins or vintage handbags -- is a safe, easy and inexpensive way to start a personalized look.
9. Experiment and alter your signature style pieces as you grow more confident.

Tips:
1. Use your signature style to camouflage flaws or draw attention to your best features.
2. Try not to cross the fine line between signature style and affectation.
3. A signature look can be something as sentimental as a charm bracelet or as breezy as brightly colored stole: just make sure it feels like you and fits your personality andlifestyle.
