I may have mentioned it once or twice before on the blog, but I’m really not a morning person.
And I’m ok with that. But sometimes, it gives me less that the desired amount of time to get ready in the mornings! So I need to have some quick cheats up my sleeve a few of which, I thought I’d share with you!
I’m all about make fashion and style easy everyday, so here are 6 ways to add a little bit more style to your everyday look, and quickly too!
Black is always the new black
It’s chic, it’s classic and it will never go out of date. If in doubt, a simple black dress (or top and pants if frocks aren’t your bag baby) will instantly make your look and feel sophisticated. Just make sure the black hasn’t faded, and de-lint the ginger cat hair before walking out the door (speaking from experience!).
If black next to your face is too harsh, throw on a bright scarf, necklace or jacket to break it up.
Add some lip-service
I say this all the time, but there is nothing like a bit of lippy to just add a little extra to your look! It can be bold and bright, or it could just be a whip of clear gloss to give your kissers some extra shine, and the best part is, you can carry it around it your handbag for that extra style boost all day!
Wash your hair
This may sound like a no-brainer, but how good does clean hair make you feel! Ok, so it might take a little longer than 5 minutes once you do all of the washing and the drying, but it’s totally worth it if you need that extra style-boost!
Change your shoes
I LOVE how shoes can totally change a whole look. If you want to add some instant style to any outfit, simply upgrade your shoe-choice. If you spend your days in jandals, then why not swap them for a simple leather sandal. If trainers are your usual go-to, a cool leather loafer is just as comfy and practical. And if you really want to take the next step, try a wedge or a heel – there are so many comfy and wearable options around at the moment!
Go for a structured bag
I know we all carry about a billion and a half things around in our handbags, but if you are still using the nappy bag and your kids are starting school, it’s time to upgrade.
A structured, classic handbag can make even the most simple jeans+tee outfit feel 100 times more grown-up. Stick to classic black or tan for instant style.
Accessories are key
I do go on a little about the power of good accessories, but I think they are such a simple way to add some personality and style to your look. Just add a simple printed scarf around your neck (or even tie it to your structured handbag for a double-whammy of style), or use a statement necklace, or funky watch to add a personal stamp on an everyday look.
6 simples ways to add more style, all of which will take less than 5 minutes (or there abouts) out of your day.
