26 Tips Every Girl Should Know

1:Wash new jeans twice before returning or hemming them because they are too long. Why? Because jeans will always shrink in length when washed.

**2:Remove odors from vintage or thrift clothing by spritzing them with a mixture of one part vodka, two parts water.

3:If you get an oil stain on your favorite handbag, coat the mark with baby powder and let it stand overnight. By morning, the stain should be gone. If a bit still remains, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

4:If you don’t have time to try on jeans in the store, try the Neck Method: You can determine your size by placing the waistline of the jeans around the diameter of your neck. If the waistline of the pant comfortably meets at back of your neck, then the jeans will fit. Or the elbow to fingertip tip method. If you're elbow to your fingertip fit in the waist of jeans, then they are probably going to fit.

5:Cut down your closet by 25% by asking yourself this one question: “If I were shopping right this second, would I buy this?” If the answer’s no, out it goes

***6:Snap clip-on earrings onto flats for an instant evening shoe, or onto shirt collars for DIY embellishments. 

7:Blot, don’t rub, when you spill something on your clothes. Wiping or rubbing will actually further ingrain the stain into the weave.

8:Use hairspray to remove a lipstick stain. 

9:Add a 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to the final rinse cycle while doing laundry to maintain the wash of your favorite pair of dark jeans.

10:To stretch tight shoes, fill two freezer bags with water and place into each shoe. Let it freeze overnight. As the water freezes, it’ll gently expand your shoes. Break in stiff or too-snug shoes by slipping them on with socks and blasting your feet with a hot hairdryer.

11:If blush or bronzer breaks in your handbag, pre-moistened makeup removing wipes will clean up the loose powder flawlessly. 


12:Hang a shoe bag on the back of your bathroom door and use it to hold makeup, toiletries, brushes, hair ties, etc.

13:If you have a small closet, never keep your shoes in clunky shoe boxes. Instead, always line up them on the floor.

14:Everyday bras should be replaced every three to six months, as that’s when they start to lose elasticity and support.

15:Pants a bit too tight? Let them air dry and stretch the waistband by hand (or with a hairdryer) while they’re still damp.

16:Fold jeans like a pro: Lay jeans on a flat surface, fold in half from left to right. Grab the stacked jean legs and fold them in half so the hem of the jeans lines up with the waistband. Fold the jeans in half one more time.

17:Wrap an empty bottle of your favorite perfume in a handkerchief and tuck it into your underwear drawer for a subtle scent.

 18:If you’re unsure about an impulse or sale purchase, leave it at the store. If you’re still thinking about it when you wake up the next day, buy it.

19:It’s a myth that loose styles flatter a large bust or a plus-size woman. The area just under the bust is a woman’s smallest torso measurement, so emphasizing it with a structured waistband that hits higher than your natural waist will make you look a size smaller.

20:When it doubt, always choose the smaller denim size, since jeans stretch with wear. 

21:The easiest way to make your closet look organized: Buy all the same hangers for everything–same color, same shape.

22:If you can’t fit two fingers underneath your bra band comfortably, it’s probably too tight.

23:Pile on good accessories—scarves, sunglasses, hats, statement jewelry—to instantly transform even the most basic outfit

.24:A good tip when cleaning out your closet: Ask a friend whose style you admire to come over and help. She/he might offer new insight on how to wear certain items before you toss them.

25:If you're on a budget like me, a hot glue gun works amazingly well to hem skirts, pants and even jeans in a pinch.

26:Wear your new real leather jacket in the rain to break it in. Water will soften up the leather and allow it to stretch and crease at specific points on your body.
