Bargain Hunting in the January Sales

A really hot colour for this season is lime green - if you can wear this color, enjoy it!

Team it up with the shades of grey that are available at most stores.

If you can wear it, fuschia is "in" this season, and will look great on women with a "cool" color palette.

Bring out the Animal!

Somewhat funky and sexy and definitely only for the wild at heart.

These animal prints could add a little pzazz to any outfit.

Not only in the conventional colours of browns and tans, you can also find them in shades of whites and grey.

So as not to stretch the budget, you'll find shoes in some of the larger superstores and hypermarkets - if you're only going to wear them a few times.

It's a great way to create a new look for less money.

Pretty Patterns with Checks and Tartan

Available at the major chain stores, you'll need to be a little brave to wear these!

Don't go for the bigger checks unless you're tall and fairly slim - instead, wear patterns like a dog tooth check or add a statement item like tartan shoes or a bag.

Why not try adding a little pattern to a favourite outfit - like the tartan trim on this dress?
