You are who you are, and you are wonderful as you are. However, you also have the agency to make changes to your appearance as you see fit or in whatever way you are moved to do so. Luckily, if the mood does strike and you are ready for an update, you have a few easy options to make it happen without much fuss or effort. Keep reading below to learn how.

Clothing

A little retail therapy is wonderful for so many reasons. Not only does a new item of clothing, or two (or three or four, or many more), give you a little boost of self-confidence, but it also updates your appearance. Clothing has the positive effect of helping you look more put-together and prepared for an event, activity, or job at hand.

One of the most exciting things you can do with clothing is to change your style. You do not have to adhere to anyone else’s definition of the current fashion and what you should be wearing just to be "in.” Pick items that make you feel good about yourself, and you will enjoy wearing them. If you gravitate toward colourful clothing, embrace your unique style. If you are ready to add a few bright pieces to your otherwise monochromatic wardrobe, now is the time. Play with your style and make it your own.

Hair

There is nothing quite like a new haircut to change the way you look. No matter what your current hair length is, you probably have something to work with. If you already know what you want to try, perfect! If not, take a look around the internet for inspiration. Look at celebrity sites or search for haircut styles based on your face shape. Another option is to ask your stylist for advice. After all, they are experts in their field.

Since you are already in the chair, why not try a color change? Consider sun-catching highlights, rich low-lights, an ombre look for a subtle and transitioning color, or something bolder. Blues, greens, pinks, and reds are very of the moment. If you are unsure or possibly not ready for the commitment, ask your stylist for a temporary color.

Posture

There is one little thing you can do any time of day to create a small but mighty change to your appearance. The simple act of standing or sitting up straight is all it takes to achieve a better posture. When you stand up straight, you look more confident and sure of yourself. Clothing drapes better over your body, and you look more comfortable as you are.

Changing the way you look today is easy. All you need is a little shopping trip with your bestie followed by a salon appointment with your trusted stylist to achieve the hair of your dreams. Pick clothes and hairstyles that will make you feel your best. After all, when you feel good about your appearance, you tend to carry yourself a little taller and will be ready for whatever comes your way.
