Each year numerous women say they are going to change their look for the next year, but most give up and resort to un-stylish habits again because they don’t know where to start…or finish. You need some help and I have the five tips that will help you look fabulous 365 days in a row a whole a lot easier…

Tip One: Everything In Your Closet Should Be Attractive

Eliminate every “ugly” item in your wardrobe. Toss those clothes that are only for sleeping that you end up running errands in because you don’t feel like changing. Replace these items with attractive colors, prints and shapes that make you look and feel good. You don’t have to give up the comfort, there are PLENTY of casual comfy clothes out there that will actually flatter your body and make you feel cute.

Hint: Monrow is great brand for casual clothing that looks good.

Hint: You only need one shirt and jeans for painting, not eight.

Tip Two: The Fit

Those odd items in your closet that just don’t fit right? Tailor them or toss them.  Every item in your closet needs to fit you well.

This starts with the shopping process… you see this gorgeous dress you have to have, but it fits weird in the hips, but you buy it anyways. Surprise, surprise every time you try it on it disappoints you and end up never wearing it. So, from now on do not buy anything that does not fit you perfectly unless you know a tailor can easily fix it – and you are the type of person who will actually take it to said tailor.

Tip Three: Skip the Sales

It doesn’t matter what a shirt used to cost, what does it cost now and is it worth it? There are only three things that matter when you are shopping: can you afford it, do you look good in it and do you love it? Labels, sales, trends, retail associates and men should not be on your mind when you are adding clothing to your wardrobe.

Tip Four: What Do You Need?

Look in your closet after eliminating all the ugly and ill-fitting clothes. What do you need? Where do you find you have the hardest time? Do you need more day dresses, work dresses, slacks, jeans, shorts, interesting tops? Ask yourself what you need and then shop specifically for these items versus shopping randomly and adding more useless bulk.

When you shop specifically for one item at a time it is easier to find the best of what you want while price comparing.

Tip Five: Take a day…or Two

Everyone dreams of a world where they are able to make a new stylish outfit everyday in five minutes. In reality people either spend five minutes putting together the outfit they wore yesterday or spend an hour putting together an offbeat look. The solution? Take a day and experiment with your wardrobe while taking notes or pictures to remember for the future. Find out ahead of time what looks great together and what doesn’t without the pressure of having to be somewhere.
