1. Match your lips to your outfit. Being too coordinated with your outfit and makeup can be a little much something, but doing something simple like matching your lipstick or nail polish to your outfit is the perfect touch that will make you look put together. 

2. Messy ballerina bun. We have all been there: your hair is dirty and you don’t have time to wash it, so you revert to the topknot/sock bun. Well good news, they don’t have to be perfect! Letting them be a little messy will make you look like you aren’t trying too hard. 

3. Go strapless for a day. Carry a clutch instead of your usual cross body. Sure, they aren’t as convenient, but they will give you a fresh/ modern alternative. 

4. Rock some socks with a skirt. Yes, it sounds odd, but it can make you look very update date on the trends. Throw on a skirt and a pair of booties and add a pair of sock that shows just about 2 inches out of the top of your shoe. For a bolder statement, wear a pair of socks that are about 1-2 shades darker than your shoe. 

5. Mismatch your trends. This is a great way to highlight your personality. Try pairing a bold trend (such as a loud floral) with a geometric one that isn’t as loud (such as polka dots). This way they are not competing against each other as much. 

6. Untame the hair. After years of pin-straight locks and perfectly done curls, try letting your hair go natural.

7. Add edge to eveningwear. Pair a fitted leather jacket with your fancy wear. That sparkly minidress will have an entirely updated look with your biker jacket. Sounds strange, but surprisingly it is a cool combo.
