·        If you wish to incorporate printed silks or beaded silks, which add a beautiful touch, I oftentimes purchase printed silk chiffon dresses and skirts, as well as beaded silk garments, at thrift and second hand shops. Be on the lookout and pick those gems up as you see them and bring them along.
