IF YOU'RE a woman who loves clothes, and possess what you know to be good taste, then you could be a woman constantly frustrated by the lack of funds needed to put those great ideas in- to practice.

Fashion experts say good fabric is one of the most important ele- menis of good dressing. When try- ing to assemble a wardrobe, you'll fare better if you choose a few good pieces made of fabrics such as silk, linen, cashmere, fine wool or cotton. A good wool skirt, a cashmere sweater and a silk blouse can form the basis of a very classic, elegant winter wardrobe.

If you pair these pieces with a few good accessories, you'll find you've paid less, yet achieved a more elegant, opulent look for substantially less than if you had

pact.

According to the experts ap- pearance can sometimes be the determining factor in a hiring deci-

sion, . Experts say the basics of good grooming include: well-cut hair, neatness, coordinated accessories and carefully pressed clothes, and offer the following tips to help en- sure the best possible appearance ‘for job interviews.

e Prepare clothing and. ac- cessories the night before. This will help prevent a frantic last-minute search for a certain scarf or tie. Polish shoes, sew on missing or loose buttons and’ press clothes properly. .

* Understand the look of the position you seex. While a suit would usually be worn for execu- tive positions, it’s not always nec- essary or desirable in other fields.

* Remember to check details. For example, run-down heels can indicate a lack of thoroughness.

® For women, accessories such as a scarf or necklace can embellish a favorite blouse: and create the appropriate look. A man should make sure his tie comple- ments his suit and coordinates with his pocket handkerchief.

° A full-length mirror is essen- . tial to ensure that an outfit is well put-together from head to toe. Hang one on the back of a door or any convenient place to see the ef- fect of the outfits you create.

Remember, these tips apply after you are hired, too. Presenting yourself in the best light is always to your advantage, say the experts.
