Problem: Article: If you want to look like you're rich, avoid dressing in messy clothes. Look for clothes with more structured tailoring, like button-down shirts or nice trousers. For a more feminine look, try wearing dresses with a nipped-in waist or a slim-fitting skirt and a blouse or sweater. You can look rich even when you're dressing casually by choosing well-fitting jeans in a dark denim. Darker jeans are sleeker and look more expensive. Clothes often look more expensive in neutral colors like camel, off-white, black, beige, and blush pink. Mix and match these neutral tones to create a luxurious look, regardless of what you paid for the pieces. You don't have to wear leather loafers to class every day, but you won't look rich if you're wearing your old gym shoes. Buy a good pair of shoes to make your outfits look their best. Look for stylish sneakers, boat shoes, or a nice pair of flats in a versatile neutral color. Make sure your shoes look good for as long as possible by keeping them clean. Don't wear your good shoes when you're playing sports or when you'll be getting messy, and wipe any dirt off of them as soon as possible to avoid staining. Wear nice clothes if you have to give a presentation at school or you're attending a special assembly. Opt for a pretty dress, a button-down shirt with a nice pair of slacks or a skirt, or a sports coat with a pair of khakis. Girls don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to have a nice bag. Look for a leather (or faux leather) purse in a versatile color like beige or black. Make sure it's free of any logos, as this will cheapen the look of the bag. The stitching and the hardware (snaps, zippers, and rings) should seem sturdy, since expensive bags are usually built to last. Opt for a backpack in a neutral color if you have to carry one. If you have to carry your books to school in a backpack, look for one made from leather or canvas in a color like white, tan, black, or blue. A simple, neutral backpack will coordinate with most of your outfits and will make you look more polished. Rich people tend to prefer simple, polished accessories. Wear a nice-looking watch, a chain bracelet, or a simple pendant necklace. Remember, less is more when it comes to accessorizing. If you pile on everything you have, you'll look like you're trying too hard. With the one-third rule, you can fill your closet with well-made, expensive clothes without spending more money than you usually do. Figure out about how much you usually spend on clothes. Then, the next time you're shopping, buy 1/3 as many pieces of clothing as you would normally buy, but spend 3x more on each piece. This way, you'll have nice clothes that will last much longer. Even if you only get to shop for clothes on your birthday, following the one-third rule can help you build a richer wardrobe over time. Having your clothes tailored to fit you is relatively inexpensive, but it can make a huge difference in the look of your outfit. A tailor will be able to adjust your clothes to be perfect for your body. They can hem pants to hit you at the perfect length or take in your shirts and jackets to fit you perfectly in the waist. Ask your parents or look online to find a tailor, then visit them whenever you find a special piece that doesn't fit quite right.
Summary: Wear clothes with clean, polished lines in classic styles. Wear dark denim. Pair neutral colors together. Invest in a good pair of shoes. Dress up for special occasions. Carry a nice bag. Choose polished accessories. Follow the one-third rule. Get your clothes tailored.

Problem: Article: Before you can help someone during an episode of hyperventilation you will need to assess his condition. Generally, the signs will be apparent; however, you will need to be sure that he is in fact hyperventilating in order to help him properly. Hyperventilation will usually be characterized by very fast, shallow, chest level breathing. The person will generally appear to be in a state of panic. Speech will be difficult for the person. Muscle spasms in the person's hands may be visible. If you think someone is hyperventilating you can help by offering your reassurance that she is going to be fine. Often times hyperventilating can cause even more panic during a panic attack, resulting in an increasing cycle and worsening symptoms. Calm reassurance can help lower the amount of panic the person is feeling and restore normal breathing rates. Remind her that she is having a panic attack and that she is not experiencing something life-threatening, such as a heart attack. Keep your tone calm, relaxed, and gentle. Let her know that you are there with her and are not going to leave her. During an episode of hyperventilation, carbon-dioxide levels fall in the body and can cause symptoms typically associated with hyperventilating. In order to retain carbon-dioxide in the body, have the person breathe using the following methods: Have him purse his lips, exhaling and inhaling through them. He may also try closing the mouth and one nostril. Have him breath in and out only through one open nostril. If the person appears in distress, turns blue, or complains of any pain, then emergency services should be contacted for evaluation in the ER.
Summary: Notice the signs of hyperventilation. Reassure the other person. Help the person to increase his carbon-dioxide levels.

Problem: Article: At the very least, you should clean all surfaces of your vehicle, vacuum it, wash the exterior, and remove any garbage or crud that might have accumulated over the course of your ownership. If this sounds unappealing, you can always take your car to be detailed by a professional. These fixtures are frequently affordable to replace and will be among the things buyers are on the lookout for. Most auto supply stores will have the parts you need in stock, and most fixes will require little more than a Phillips screwdriver. Though you might think a small crack or chip inconsequential, these are hard to miss for new buyers inspecting the car for the first time. And when that new buyer notices this defect, he'll likely try to bargain you down from your asking price far below what the repair would cost you. A dealership might knock off as much as $800 for a "new windshield," as this might be the factory cost, whereas your insurance might cover most, if not all, of the cost of this repair. Brakes are a tremendously strong selling point, and mentioning to interested parties that you've recently had the brakes replaced will up the value in their estimation. For most cars, this will only cost $100-$150, and could serve you well in the bargaining phase. You might be able to get several dents in the body of your car repaired for around $100. A "like new" body will up the value of your car, and if the potential buyer doesn't see the ding, he won't be able to use it as ammunition in negotiations. Tyres can be expensive, but making sure your tyres are ideal for your sale can cost less than you might think. Buyers will check your car's tyres for worn down or uneven tread. Replacing one or two trouble tyres with matching used ones, which should average you around $30-$40, can save you from a $300 - $700 deduction a buyer might request to offset the cost of new tyres.
Summary:
Prepare your car for sale. Improve the condition of your lights. Contemplate windshield repair. Make sure your brakes are in good condition. Touch up dings and dents. Examine your treads.
