Maybe you’re thinking it’s time for a change, or maybe you’re someone who likes to change as the seasons change.  But we’re not made of money.  So here are some simple and inexpensive ways to update your look.

Part your hair on the other side

Been parting your hair the same way for as long as you can remember? Experimenting with a new look can be as simple as flipping it to the opposite side of your head. The simple switch can add new volume at the roots and alter the way the front sections frame your face.

Accessorize to your advantage

Don't buy a whole new wardrobe—just make people think you did, by updating the items that get noticed the most, like your handbag. Accessories are also a cost-effective way to update your closet’s contents because you can wear them day after day.

Don red lipstick

Don't be scared off by its boldness—the truth is, red is one of the most universally wearable lipstick shades, and it's a classic way to add both impact and femininity to your look. In general, reds that are more blue-based are flattering on all skin tones, and they make your teeth look whiter to boot.

Rediscover the pointy-toed shoe

The tapered toe fell out of fashion's favor for a couple of seasons, but this season, it’s the shoe shape of choice. The reason pointy toes always seem to re-emerge on the scene? There's simply nothing as flattering to a woman's leg than a pointed-toe pump.
