It started with playing dress-up. You spent hours in your mom’s closet trying on her dresses, slipping your foot into her pumps and strutting in front of the mirror. Once you got a hold of magazines, mom’s tired dresses were no match for the dresses and pumps featured in the pages of Jet, Ebony and Essence.

Well it’s never to late to do what you always knew was right and to get you started, here are a few tips to break into the world of fashion.

So you invest steadily and hold fast to some simple but time-honored strategies: Keep your focus on the long term. Subtract your age from 110 (or maybe 100) and hold that percentage in stocks.
