To help make any outfit look great there are three simple items. By just changing these things up you can update your look.
- Your purse… A handbag says a lot about you. Huge and cavernous; seriously scattered. Tiny and toy; you have too much time on your hands. lol A mid sized purse gives you enough space to be real and doesn’t throw your back out. You know what I mean. We tend to over load our bags as if we were still toting around a diaper bag. We don’t need to carry around the kitchen sink anymore. Just gage the size you need by your body type. If you are a good sized lady make sure it’s not too small or it just makes you look bigger. Are you petite? Find a nice tailored looking bag to give you a polished look. (wink)
- Your Shoes… Stop wearing the same pair of convenient shoes. I have the standard black flip flops by my door and it’s all too easy to just slide into them when I’m in a hurry. You don’t have to go shopping right now. Just go back into your closet and do a little hunting expedition. I think you will have a few “ah-ha” moments where you find that old pair of shoes you used to love wearing. Spice things up again by popping them on and see how your mood changes. A little height in those heels does great things for those of us who are short. See what’s going on out there.
- Your jacket… a great jacket can add a whole new feel even if you are just covering up “house clothes” and running an errand. Stay away from those slouchy worn out looking coats that make you disappear in a crowd. What are you saving that nice jacket for anyway? How many times have you pulled out the “good” coat to find dust on the shoulders?? Enjoy it. What’s the worst that will happen? A dry cleaning bill for a spilled coffee instead of those dusty shoulders? If you are like me you may have a few lighter jackets around. The smaller fitted jackets as well as layering are really in the year. Let’s update that look! Don’t forget to add a splash of color and see what it does for your mood. Spring is almost here. Spread a little sunshine.
