5 great tips: New Year – new look
Give yourself a lift by starting the new year with a fresh style that brings out the best in the real you
Making yourself over is such a great way to boost your confidence, energy and outlook.
‘Scrapbook’ ideas you really like
Cut out things you see in magazines and put them together with other ideas you’ve grabbed from films, TV and anywhere else. Think about other people who you think have great style – friends, celebrities. What it is that you like about how they look?
Assess your wardrobe
Get all your clothes out on the bed and see if there are styles you repeat too often, maybe you wear only black or you’re never out of knee-length cardigans! Think about what’s missing in your collection that might take you in a whole new direction, or is there a way of adapting your firm favourites for a fresh look?
Test-drive a new look
Ask your sister or a friend if you can borrow something different from her wardrobe to see if it suits you – a different length dress, a fabric you might not usually go for. Offer to lend her something of yours too. It’s fun!
Take photos
Snap yourself in different outfits. Being able to see what you look like from this perspective really helps focus your thoughts.
Hit the shops
Go to a department store where there are lots of high street labels to choose from (you might find a label you’d always ignored actually really suits you) and pick out five things you know you wouldn’t usually consider. Spend quality time trying them on – even if you don’t buy anything, you can see what works and what doesn’t.
