I Dress Conservative: How Can I Update My Look from Scratch?

Too conservative
What basic pieces should I start with?
You have a lovely smile! And I believe you can bring out the best in your appearance by updating your look.
For your makeover, I suggest that you investm in adding colors and securing the wardrobe essentials - but opt for a fitted, chic cut. For example that turtleneck sweater you're wearing - it looks shapeless and baggy, and the simple chain gold necklace makes the whole outfit look conservative. Swapping the necklace with a bolder, trendy one alone can really lift up your look.
I am glad you've decided to do something about it! There are so many ways to bring out the beauty in you! How and with what, you ask?
Let me give you a couple of tips:
Without knowing the details (your body shape, age, taste and preference, etc.) I am only able to give you some general advice.
Buy clothes that fit
Have you checked the
wardrobe essentials-section? There you can find a complete list of all of the basic pieces you need to start updating your look and closet. When buying the basic pieces remember to buy ones with a
great fit to look more pulled together. It shouldn't look too baggy nor clingey.
The best way to find your perfect fit is to
measure your body. I advise you to make this your first step to make over your style as fit is crucial to looking your best and to avoid looking like a potato sack.
Secure:- Plenty of basic, solid-colored (black, white, gray) tees, tops and sweaters. Tees in purple, blue, reds and pinks are also nice to have your closet but make sure they are solid-colored
- A pair of wide leg jeans or pants
- Black pencil or A-line skirt depending on your body shape. The skirt should be knee-length. Mid calf can make you look shorter, while ankle length looks outdated (unless it's fitted around the hips)
- A pair of brown knee high leather boots
- A structured tote handbag.
You can find more suggestions in the
wardrobe essentials-section.
Inject some color
The next step in your journey to updating your look is to implement lively colors (like purple, reds, yellow, creams & white, greens, etc.) into your outfits. This alone can take your appearance to a whole new level, as colors are known to affect you and other people around you on a physical and emotional level. With the right colors you can enhance your natural colorings and really feel good about yourself! To make sure you pick the right colors, please take a
seasonal color analysis or if that's too much a
gold or silver color analysis will do just fine.
In this way you'll know what color of earrings, scarf, necklace, makeup and hair color to select.
When updating your look I think you could start with wearing a basic (but great fitting) tee or sweater with an eye-popping necklace or scarf in a color that flatters your complexion.
Add an unexpected, trendy twist to your outfit
You can start by adding a belt around your waist or slung low around your hips along with a sweater or tunic shirt. Or create layers by combining a basic wrap vest with a dress or sweater.
Hope this helps!
