"I'm one stomach flu away from my goal weight." -- Emily, 'The Devil Wears Prada'

Ever weigh yourself after having the stomach flu? A week of worshiping the porcelain god, can do wonders for the waistline, albeit an unpleasant experience overall.
I am a petite little thing, so I have to have all of my clothes specifically tailored to fit my body. (Which I recommend for anyone, no matter what your size) As you can imagine, it gets expensive. Not only do you accrue the cost of the outfit, but also the cost of tailoring said outfit.
I try to stick to 'staple' pieces that I know will stay in style for a couple of years (more if I'm lucky). But we've all fallen victim to that current trend that only lasts one season.
I couldn't begin to tell you how much money I have spent on clothes that end up in my annual Goodwill donation pile. But I've learned an invaluable lesson from my wasted wardrobe.
Accessories!
Earrings, necklaces, scarves, rings, bracelets, handbags...You don't have to have them tailored, and you never grow out of them! It's a relatively inexpensive way to change an entire outfit. You can borrow them from friends even if your body types are completely different. And if a certain accessory does go out of style, chances are you didn't break the bank to buy it.
