5 Ways to Jazz Up Your Style

Do you feel like you are in a fashion rut? You buy way
too many clothes in one color, everything you have in your
closet looks the same and you struggle to find something
to wear, let alone find something that makes you feel good?
If this is true, it's time to add some excitement to your
wardrobe.

Every morning when you leave your home you deserve
to feel great about what you're wearing. This doesn't mean
that you have to be dressed in expensive or designer
clothing; it does mean that you will have chosen a clothing
style that suits you and is in a color that makes your
skin glow.

To jazz up your style start with:

1. Getting to know the colors that look great on
you. When you wear colors that suit your skin tone your
skin looks more radiant, fine lines, dark circles and wrinkles
are less apparent. Wearing the wrong colors (a mistake many
women make) will make your skin look sallow, drab and lines
and wrinkles will stand out. Before you purchase an outfit be
sure the color will make your skin look radiant. If you are one of
those women who always buy the same color, use that color as
a starting point and add a few colors at a time (from your color
palette) to create interest in your wardrobe.

2. Wearing clothes that are flattering for your body
shape: Choose clothes that bring out your positive features. Get
to know your body shape and choose the styles that suit it best.
When your clothing purchases are based on how the garment
affects your body shape getting dressed is a thrill.Choosing the
styles that suit your shape will make you look thinner, taller and
younger. If you are wearing the wrong clothing styles you will
look larger, frumpy and matronly.

3. Choosing accessories that complement your outfits.
Accessories such as scarves, handbags, shoes, gloves and
necklaces will bring any outfit alive - accessories have jazzability.

4. Bringing the whole look together. Now that you have
the right colors, style and accessories your hairstyle and
makeup cannot be overlooked. Makeup should match in occasion
and color. For example, lighter lipstick, eye shadow and blush for
day and darker for evening. Lipstick and blush colors should be
in the same color family (cool or warm) as your outfit. Your
hairstyle should complement the color of your skin and also be
in harmony with what you are wearing.

5. Creating a smart image with a winning smile and
attitude. A genuine smile makes you appear more approachable.
Those who treat others with respect and respect themselves are
on the way to creating an image that is impeccable.
