“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn” – Gore Vidal
Your Day 29 Making Time challenge: For 29 minutes… get a haircut, paint your nails or do something else to change your appearance
Sometimes changing the way we look can alter our outlook on life and shake up our perception of ourselves. Small changes can have a big impact when it comes to updating our appearance. Try one or more of these simple makeover tricks (some of them are more for the girls, but there are some for the guys too!) …
– See a new you! Fashion glasses will make for a fun new work look.
– Electrify your eyes: Swap your usual brown/black eyeliner for bright liners
and eye shadows to make the your natural eye colour stand out, or try coloured contact lenses.
– Lashtastic: apply a couple of individual long lashes to the outer corners of your eyes to create a bold, confident, everyday look.
– Do your hair differently: try a new style, change the side you wear your parting, swap the hairspray for a headband or invest in some big Velcro rollers to give it extra oomph! Or for the guys, try some product in it!
– Be bold: take a walk on the wild side and use a bold red, coral, or pink lip colour to glam up your look.
– Unveil new nails: Instead of oval-shaped tips painted in pale-pink polish file your nails straight across and then round off the corners and paint in a colour you love.
– Accessorise: Invest in a new pair of gloves and a matching scarf, a new belt for that little black dress. A few small updates can have a big impact on how you look.
– Top it off: A stylish hat can instantly change your attitude – try a fab fedora or printed bucket hat to add instant chic sentiment.
– Try a new perfume or aftershave: Switch up your scents to mimick your moods and try perfumed lotions or mists for more variation.
– Add colour: Ban yourself from wearing black for a day and see what difference it makes.
Ask yourself: How do you feel? Has anyone commented on your new look? Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror?
