Three Easy Ways to Revive Your Look

Taking Fabulous Up a Notch

Do you ever go to your closet and think...I have nothing to wear; I'm in a style rut? I think we've all been there when we feel like our wardrobe and our makeup routine needs a little wake up call. Fortunately, I've learned how to tap into my beauty and fashion creativity, so I'm not constantly spending money on new clothes and makeup (even though that's fun too!). Are you looking to revive your look? Here are three, easy ways to get started:

Step 1: Pick a Color, Any Color

Changing hair colors is a way to make you feel like a brand new gal. With help from Taaz's makeover tool and inspiration from different looks, you can decide if a hair color change is what you need. I've had light brown, red-tinted and jet black hair. If you're not all in for a complete dye job, get some highlights or use the sun to naturally lighten your hair. Before you go from one extreme to another, I suggest doing a test on a small section of hair or consult your stylist, so your hair doesn't end up green, orange or some other color you didn't plan on.

Step 2: Makeup Remix

There are so many great deals out there for makeup with inexpensive lines like e.l.f. and N.Y.C. to name a couple. Buying palettes of eye shadows or different lip colors give you a chance to experiment with your makeup without breaking the bank. Taking advantage of coupon codes and sales and subscribing to your favorite brands can score you some free products that you might not otherwise try. Thanks to @vbeauty, I learned about BirchBox and now am awaiting my first month of fabulous samples for only $10 a month. That should help me branch out a little.

Step 3: Be Your Own Stylist

Pick out your favorite wardrobe pieces and start styling them in more than one way. I have a plain, cotton black maxi dress that I sometimes pair with a v-neck shirt, which makes the dress look like a skirt, and sandals. Or, I've paired it with a belt, blazer and wedges. And, I've also worn it as a casual beach look with flip flops and a tank top underneath accessorized with a light scarf. One dress, three looks helps keep my style ever changing.

Sometimes we just have to get creative and plan things out in order for our looks not to become too dull. Good thing we have so much fashion and beauty inspiration right at our fingertips to keep the fab feeling flowing!
