Your Style Tool Kit

To help you set your style, be sure your style tool kit is complete. Here's what you need:

• A full-length mirror. Always do a full-lengthy check, front to back, before stepping out the door.
• Iron, ironing board and spray starch. Groan. I know, but many clothing items benefit from a brief starch, press and seam-setting -- it can be the simple thing that sets you apart from the crowd. And, sometimes, carefule as we may be, items coming from the closet need a touch-up. If that's not enough to convince you, ironing also can help your clothing hang properly.
• Stain remover. Use it as quickly as possible after an accident.
• Needle and thread. Remember. No safety pins, no missing buttons, and no saggy hems.
• Lint brush.
• Fabric refresher (Febreze or other brand). My clothing gets sprayed when it comes out of the closet as I assemble my weekly wardrobe on Sunday evening.
