Put On Your Outfit First
Too often, we make the mistake of putting our adorable outfit on right before we head out the door, only to realize, en route, that our shoes don't fit, our necklace is giving us a rash, or our dress rides up with every step. Putting on your outfit at the beginning of the evening ensures that you know if you need to change before you leave. And hey — if your clothes are too uncomfortable to wear for an hour or two in the comfort of your own home, then how much are you really going to enjoy having it on all night long? If you're applying makeup, just throw on an old button-up shirt over everything so you keep stains at bay.
