While we've all experienced buyer's remorse, stylish women stick to the 3-7-14 rule, which helps ensure that their closets are never clutters with things they don't really want. If they check in at three and seven days and they have yet to wear a new purchase, they return it before two full weeks is up. That way, they can save their budget and closet space for pieces they'll love, like the sweater below.

To help embrace the quirkier pieces in their closets, stylish women use the eight-hour rule and pick their outfits the night before. That way, they aren't rushed, and can utilize even the trickiest pieces to style, like a super-bold skirt.

Every season there are plenty of great trends to try, but chic women know that pulling off every single one is too much. Instead, they cherry-pick, finding what works with their already established personal style. There may be plenty of runway looks they love, but in the end, they wear what works, testing a splash of metallic, or maybe the latest athleisure look.

While it's easy to dream of a designer wardrobe, chances are even stylish women have a much more limited budget than you might think. But by spending 80 percent of their budget on key staples, and saving 20 percent for spontaneous pieces they love, they can master trends while still making sure they've got a stellar lineup of staples, like cozy sweaters and jeans that fit just right.

While it's important to master the art of mixing and matching, sometimes it's important to let one special piece shine. Spotlighting is about keeping your look simple, but choosing one nice piece that pops and makes your outfit look super expensive, no matter what your budget may be.
