How Changing Your Look...

Can Change Your Attitude

It's easier...and cheaper than you think!
If you think that radical, dramatic makeovers are strictly the provenance of the very young, think again. Young women are fond of mixing things up with their looks, but they often do so with little regard for what actually complements or suits them. Instead of seeking a look that plays up their natural features, they tend to go for shock value. Mature women have the benefit of experience, which makes it easier to achieve a stylish new look that can transform their entire attitude in one fell swoop. Change can be scary, but taking things step by step to come up with a dramatic new whole is invigorating. Below, we'll look to current trends and explain how to use them to make small but important changes that, when added up, equal a stunning new look.

Think Leather
Leather isn't only for bikers, and hot fall leather fashions allow you to pair a skirt or jacket to boost your overall look in a sophisticated - yet slightly edge - way. Don't be afraid to splurge a bit; focus your money on buying one or two well-fitting, high quality leather skirts or jackets. These deceptively simple pieces not only give your wardrobe a fresh, exciting new look - they can give your attitude a much-needed pick-me-up, too.

It's All About Texture
From accessories like chunky metallic bracelets and necklaces to fuzzy warm cashmere sweaters, selecting a few key items that break out of your normal pattern and that provide a bit of interesting, contrasting textures to your existing clothes can really revitalize and invigorate your look and the way you present yourself to the world. Don't be afraid to go out on a limb by experimenting with studded hee ls or bedazzled belts, either - they can add a perky effervescence to an otherwise button-down look.

Achieve A Rich, Sleek Look With Jewel Tones
This fall, it's all about jewel tones. While traditional oranges and reds are well and good, they are a bit played out as well. Teal, gold and burgundy are where it's really at; these colors play nicely together and go great with gray and black, too. Whether it's a bright teal tunic or a gold set up pumps, these rich jewel tones really set you apart and let you glow in an exciting new way.

A Fresh New Cut And Color To Top Off Your Transformation
Many women find a haircut and color they like, and that's it. Experimentation ends in the early twenties for many women, which is unfortunate because there are so many hot cuts and colors this fall that work well with women of all ages. Fall cuts are all about extremes - in a good way: extremely short, extreme curls or even pushing a feminine longer style to the limit are all great options. Try flipping your color around, too. If you normally go lighter, try adding some dramatic low lights; if you normally go darker or add red undertones, try perking up your look with some gold highlights. Branch out with your hair, and you're sure to find the perfect complement to your new wardrobe - and your new attitude!
