Dressing well may come naturally to some while being a daunting experience to others. As the elite fashion icon said, “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman!” How you dress leaves a lasting image on the people you interact with. Dress well and it will lift your self-esteem making you more successful at work and home. Unfortunately, some days can prove a challenge for one to get their act together, take for instance, Mondays!
Feeling put together takes more than just physical appearance. The way you feel inside consequently affects how you package your outside. The feeling of not looking great takes away your attention to focus on your productivity. Below are a few tips on looking polished even on the hectic of days;
STYLE YOUR EVERYDAY LOOK
You don’t need to have a closet full of designer outfits to look like a million dollars. You simply need to add a little oomph to your outfit to get that stylish finish. It doesn’t require spending extra cash; a little effort will go a long way. There are few hacks that one can use to enhance a look. For instance, folding up your blazer sleeves or the sleeves of that office shirt can lift a basic look to a modern-chic look.
Styling a look first needs clean clothes that are well pressed. Pairing is relatively easy but don’t be matchy-matchy all the time. Wearing clothes that fit properly makes one feel great while giving others the impression that you know your style. Coordinate the colors of your outfit to match your skin tone. A handbag is the best finish for any outfit and a lady can never have too many bags in her wardrobe. One of the classic Valentino Garavani bags is a great way to elevate a look to the next level.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR CROWN
Your hair is the crown of your body. Messy hair leaves one looking confused and disheveled. Always make sure your hair is neat before leaving the house. Well cleaned and shampooed hair smells good and will be easy to manage. If you don’t have enough time to style your hair each morning, a neat ponytail or a high bun always does the trick.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE SKIN
Good skin creates the perfect base for makeup and is a clear indication of how you feel on the inside. A skin routine should be part of your morning to make sure you get the glow you need for the day. No matter your skin type, make sure to always moisturize with natural oils like crambe abyssinica or jojoba. This will go a long way in making sure you still look good even on the days you don’t put any makeup.
USE QUALITY PERFUME
Smelling great will add to your confidence to face any day ahead of you. Perfume uplifts your mood which keeps stress and anxiety at bay. Perfume is one of the many ways known by man to trigger happy memories. Quality high-end perfumes send a message of wealth and importance to others.
USE STATEMENT PIECES
The beauty of statement jewellery is that it only takes one piece to make your outfit pop. Even when you are out of time to style an outfit, adorn some sparkly earrings and you are good to go. Keep the accessories simple and well-coordinated to your overall outfit.
IF ALL FAILS…PUT ON SOME LIPSTICK
There are those times when your outfit just doesn’t cut it. Nothing you wear feels good. The red lipstick will be a great way to lighten up your face and give people something to focus on other than your look. A lipstick can enhance your appearance with the rest of your clothes.
