How are those New Year’s intentions progressing? Have you tried any of our suggestions to revamp your look? Today we have 5 more ways to update your image for 2012. Our previous suggestions were a little more conceptual. These are actual items you can shop and implement immediately.
6- Try a New Trend!
We’ve seen a lot of polka dots on the runways this year. Banana Republic makes this trend understandable for everyone. Wear the Bella Pintuck Dot Blouse from work to play.
7- Try a New Silhouette!
You’ve probably found silhouettes that work well for you and try to stick with them. For the New Year step out of this comfort zone and try a new silhouette. If you normally wear pencil skirts, try something full and swingy, and vice versa. Both of these skirts are from Gap and ring in under $50. That’s an affordable way to try a new silhouette.
8- Add in New Jewelry!
Do you have one necklace or pair of earrings you wear day in and day out? Shop a little costume jewelry and mix things up. It will give your outfits a fresh look for the New Year. Hive & Honey Coin Drop necklace dresses up basic tops. It’s available for just $26.99 on Piperlime.
9- Experiment with Layers!
You have your go-to blazer when you want to look professional and your favorite cardigan when you catch a chill. This year try a adding a vest into the mix. It updates your look without covering up your entire blouse. We really like this Textural Racerback Vest from Gap. It’s an easy addition to your current closet.
10- Update your neutrals!
Having a good set of neutrals in your closet is important. This applies to pants, jackets, and shoes alike. Just because they’re neutral doesn’t mean they need to be basic. Check out these neutral pumps found on Piperlime. They are sporting two trends in Spring footwear, chunky heels and metallic toes. Theo by BCBGeneration are very versatile. We also found a pair of flats with a metallic toe cap as well. Oneda by Vince Camuto are great for everyday.
All the styles we’ve shown you today are from Gap brands. This means one shopping cart and one shipping fee. Plus if you spend $50 or more shipping is always free. Happy Shopping this New Year!
