Like Beyonce says, let me upgrade your outfit…ok fine, she actually said “let me upgrade you” but same thing.
Sometimes you get dressed, look in the mirror and think “blah” (I was going to do the raspberry noise but I had no idea how to spell it out). When this happens you have three options, be blah that day, change your entire outfit, or tweak the blah out. I hate walking around all day blah, and I’m too lazy (and usually running too late) to do a full outfit change, so it’s tweaking for me. I have five failsafe tricks to instantly (and cheaply) upgrade my outfit, and here they are!
Big Gold Hoops
My Twitter bio says “never met a pair of hoops I didn’t like” and friends that’s one hundred perfect fact. I also never met an outfit that couldn’t be taken up a notch by adding some big gold hoops.
Tuck In Your Shirt
Full tuck, half tuck, French tuck, heck even a military tuck, if your outfit feels a little unfinished, try tucking.
Add A Bandana
I love bandanas. There is nothing cooler than a bandana, and although I am not cool I feel a little cooler when I wear one. Which is probably why I have them in every color.
Cuff Your Pants
Yes not all types of pants lend themselves to rolling, but the right pants and the right roll (thick or thin, single or multi) are magic.
Red Lipstck
Liz Taylor famously said, “pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together”. I do not recommend pouring a drink before work but I do recommend putting on some lipstick and pulling yourself together. (Psst, this is my fave)
