Fashion Goals: 3 Tips for Getting Started on Your New Look

8843813487?profile=original

You’ve been feeling a little drab and nondescript lately and have come to the conclusion that you need an entirely new look. Your wardrobe needs a complete overhaul with the newest and latest in fashion and accessories. Before you get started on your quest, there are three specific areas that need to be addressed:

 

Your Body

Unfortunately, your clothing just hasn’t been fitting you well lately. You don’t feel as fit and trim as you’d like to. Diet and exercise just aren’t doing it for you, so more drastic measures may be necessary. Consult your doctor about medications, supplements, or even liposuction to help you look and feel your very best.

 

Don’t even begin shopping for new clothing and accessories until you are feeling comfortable with your body. You don’t want to purchase all new items and then not have them fit well after undergoing changes.

 

Your Style

Select a specific style that fits your age, your personality, and your personal preferences. Choose a style and then stick with it. Don’t dress in vintage clothing one day and then show up in edgy modern fashions the next. You want to establish a presence, and the best manner in which to do this is to be consistent with the type of clothing you wear.

 

If you have difficulty determining exactly what your style is, you may need to make an appointment with a professional shopper or a fashion consultant. If this is just not in your budget, research the various fashions online and in magazines. Print or cut out the clothing that you prefer. Take a step back and decide if they really are your style. One of the best ways to tell if you are being successful with your new look is if others begin to copy your fashion choices. Remember, imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

 

Your Accessories

Your accessories can really make your look pop. Choose the accessories that will accentuate your body and your clothing. Select shoes, scarves, jewelry, bags, and hair accessories that can be used over and over again with different outfits. For example, if you are a “pearl girl,” know that you can successfully wear these pearls with a little black dress or a white tee shirt and jeans. They will look equally fantastic.

 

When all of these come together, be prepared to get a few second looks. You will look so stunning and coordinated. Your body and your outfits will rock, and everyone will be asking how you did it.
