5 Simple ways to update your look without looking old

It’s the perfect time to consider how to update your look without totally reinventing yourself…  let’s leave that to Madonna who does it better than anyone else.

Updating your look is a way to stay modern and relevant without looking dated and dowdy. But you don’t need a complete makeover, just a little fine-tuning to finesse what you already have.

I like to start with small details to maintain an ageless chic allure …

1) Free Up Your Hair

You might want to pay a visit to the drugstore or salon shop to see if you’re using hair products that level up to a fresher appearance. So many of us get stuck in the trap of relying on the same heavy hair mousse or hairspray and end up with a very dated and overly done look.  The goal is to have hair that moves, isn’t rigid or overly fussed looking.

2) De-Goop Your Makeup

Next up is to take a look at makeup. If you’re wearing foundation that has a heavy makeupy feel, it’s time to let your skin shine through. Stay clear of hiding behind a goopy base and let your gorgeous self shine through.

3) Shoe Check!

There is such a thing as a classic toe that’s slightly rounded and does hold up to time. Then there are styles that commit to a decade and do nothing for your look now other than make you look dated. Yes, fashion is cyclical and what was on trend 15-20 years ago will be back on trend, with nuances.  What you don’t want to wear is anything that’s stuck in the in-between. Shoes are a dead giveaway.

4) Less Really Is More

There’s an art to self-editing. It starts with having the confidence to say no. If you’re in doubt of something or not even sure where to start, the best place is to find the answer within yourself. Yes, you!  Rather than reading tons of magazines and blogs (thank you for being here) the best advice really is within you.

5) Trust In Yourself

Look to the outside for general inspiration but the absolute answer as to what feels right to you is found within yourself. True style comes from within. You need to tap inside to discover it.

Imagine pulling yourself together with that perfect balance of ease & elegance… with your own unique & personal twist that flatters you in just the right ways. So that you can feel like YOU’VE made it! So you can stop second guessing yourself and piecing together what you read. So YOU can be THE stylist in charge of your look!

Now, here’s what I want you to consider…

… Take IT To The Next Level

If you finally want to feel confident, self-assured and not fuss about your outfit. You don’t want to worry if you look too old, or too girly, or inappropriate, or lost touch with being relevant, or like you haven’t a clue.
