TOP HAT: Skip pricey store-bought fascinators and make your own at home.

If you have time to pop down to Hobbycraft, pick up a mixed bag of natural craft feathers for £2 and glue them to a headband or hair clip you have at home with Hobbycraft glue, £2.

Or, try folding a silk scarf you already have and wrap it around a headband then tack it with a pin at both ends for a stylish modern headpiece that looks expensive.

BAGS AWAY: Trying to make your handbag match your dress? Try swapping other handbag straps on to your bag to see if that works.

Or you could wrap a colourful silk or fabric scarf around the handle in the colour of your outfit to tie your look together.

STEP TO IT: Instead of buying new heels, give an old pair a new look.

If you have a few days, you can order four diamante bow shoe clips from Amazon.co.uk, £7.99.

No time? Raid the craft drawer or snip off ribbon handles from gift bags and fashion into a bow.

Glue them on to the front of your shoe with craft glue, or if you don’t want a permanent change, a hair grip in a matching colour to your shoe can work.

SUPERMARKET STAPLES: Still looking for the perfect dress or suit?
Head to your local supermarket.

Asda has a stunning green leopard-print dress for £20 that looks like it could be Boden.

Meanwhile, for men, Asda’s navy seersucker suit comes in at £35 for the jacket and £25 for the trousers — bargain!

SKIP THE SALON: Nail your outfit with a matching manicure at speed. Boots own-brand press on pre-glued nails for just £3 per set.
