Fashion Kit

Shopping and finding great fashion buys is fun.  Selecting pieces and putting together a great outfit is fun{er}.  Performing maintenance on your clothes is fun{est} a chore that should not be ignored if you want to keep them looking good.    Putting together a Fashion Kit will help you keep all your tools handy and eliminate excuses for wearing that "cat hair" sweater to work.  Here are some items I keep together in a recycled travel bag:  

Stain Remover. A pack of wipes or pen because stuff happens.

Lint Brush or Mitt. No excuses for the yellow cat hair on your black sweater. Enough said.

Fuzz Buster. One of the best investments you can buy. Don’t get the little cute one, get a decent size one that can easily de-fuzz an entire garment.

Jewelry Wipes.  A quick shine for your gold and silver jewelry. If you use this and the gold or silver tone earrings are still a charcoal color, it may be time to retire them.

Magic Shine.  Put a shine back in your step.  Also works good on your leather and vinyl purses, briefcases, totes, etc.

Button Pins.   In case you haven't gotten around to sewing that button back on, a button pin is a quick and easy temporary fix.  If you wear that blouse a couple of more times with the button pin, you get a violation from the Fashion Cop.

Eyeglass Kit.  Keep those chic glasses intact.

Eyeglass Cloth.  Keep those chic glasses clean.

This is a good list of items to start with... and you can find most of them at the Dollar Tree for $1 (duh).

Did I miss a useful item?  Please share it!
