Another Rule of 3’s definition is creating an ensemble rather than just being dressed by wearing three of the same color. For example with a white blouse and black slacks (“may I take your order?”) include a turquoise sweater, purse and necklace and suddenly you look like the one that should be waited upon. Try this in your own closet. Look for accessories in the same color (i.e. shoes, belts, jewelry, scarves, purses, blouses, sweaters, etc.)

Leave the white workout shoes for the gym. If you want to wear sneakers with your jeans, choose, brown, black, tan or other daywear sneakers.

One thing that will always stay consistent is where the hemline is the most flattering. A hemline should fall where the leg narrows to present the most flattering fit. That can be slightly above the knee, below the knee or as the calf tapers. This is true for all body types, shapes and ages. When shopping, depending on your size, you may have to look in the petites department to find the right length skirt, or plan on having it altered.

Keep your shoes in good repair and polished. Even the most expensive shoes detract from an outfit if they are scuffed.
