Formatting Tips• Always turn on paragraph marks. (Looks like ¶ up in the menu

bar)• Use ‘Paragraph/Spacing After’ instead of using multiple

paragraph breaks.• Use find and replace to not only take out multiple paragraph

breaks, but to replace them with chosen ‘Spacing After’.• Set tabs rather than using multiple tabs to get cursor to where

you want.• Be consistent.

Find and Replace in Word• Ctrl+F to open the

‘Find’ menu.• Click the magnifying

glass and choose ‘Replace’.

• Click ‘More > >’ in the bottom left corner.

• Get to know the drop down ‘Special’ and ‘Format’ menus.

#2 Know your figure• Helpful tips that are

specific to both your shape and size

• Lists the good points about your figure that you can play up when you are dressing

• Gives strategies to downplay your weaker areas

#3 Know where to shop• Some stores design clothes that will

work for your body type and some do not.

• Certain stores are more likely to carry your style of clothes as well

• Make a note of which stores carry your style/fit you best so that even when you are thrift store shopping you can watch for those brand names.

• Coupons – once you know where you like to shop, get on their mailing list for coupons. Places like Kohls and Gordmans have great coupons and if you plan your shopping, you can usually get an extra discount

#4 Know when to shop• Know the sales – Jan/Feb have great

sales for winter items, President’s Day, July/August for summer items, Lemon Days at Gateway Mall are great, and of course the notorious Black Friday and Christmas Eve sales

• Thrift Stores also have sales – Goodwill has their 10 items for $10 (a Friday sale)

• Von Maur has excellent prices on great clothes on their clearance racks

Wardrobe Basics

• 3 pairs of slacks • 1 skirt • 1 cardigan • Several tops/blouses in your

favorite colors• Shoes• Accessories (scarves, tights,

belts, etc.)

#5 Shopping Idea Shopping vs. Serious Shopping

Idea Shopping• Purpose: to find style ideas• Inform sales attendants that

you are just looking• Shop anywhere you like and

try on things that catch your eye

• If you find something that you feel you absolutely must have, make sure you shop your wardrobe at home with that item once you get back to be sure it was not an impulsive purchase

Serious Shopping

• Purpose: to find specific items that you need for your wardrobe at a good price

• Stay focused on your goal until you find the right item at the right price – be careful not to blow your budget on whimsical purchases you come across

• Double check your decision by trying the item on at home after the purchase and make sure that it is still comfortable and attractive in your own mirror

Helpful Hints:When you feel like you

need something new:• Shop your own closet first• Try to determine what

piece you are missing• Is there a certain mood

that you need to include in your wardrobe?

• Spring trend? Green is in!

Shopping Tips• Make quality purchases on items you will wear

at least once a week – shoes, pants • Shoes – shop for comfort first, beauty second• Consider Your Colors and take a list with you

when you shop• Tops/Blouses are less expensive than

pants/skirts, so express your style with cute tops. They are easier to find on the clearance rack or in the thrift store too!

• Accessories are another inexpensive way to add interest to your wardrobe – scarves, belts, etc. Know what you are shopping for

and stick to it!
