2. Dye your hair.
While we’re at it, if hair extensions are not an option for you, you can always dye your natural hair to any color you prefer. This is a great option especially if you’re starting to see some gray strands, just be sure to get a dye that clearly states it provides a hundred percent gray coverage.
You may dye your hair on your own using some of the popular brands you can find at the pharmacy or supermarket. But if you want to have some layers of different colors or shades, I suggest you go to a professional hair stylist.
3. Pick a signature accessory.
What kind of accessory? It can be a big pair of earrings, a scarf, a hat, a bracelet, necklace, a hand bag or any other accessory that you think will stand out and make people notice it and you. To help you decide, check out what accessory i̶s̶ your favorite stylish celebrity is currently wearing and you can start with that.
4. Start wearing red lipstick.
Red is the color you need if you want instant attention. It connotes a sense of action, sexiness, and class. Since this is make up, take your time trying out the different shades and brands of red lipstick that perfectly match your skin tone.
5. Change your wardrobe.
Still wearing the same office outfit these past few years? Perhaps it’s also time for a wardrobe makeover. Let go of what’s in your closet and replace these with new clothes. Oftentimes, even if it’s of the same style, just by wearing brand new clothes it can make you look fresh and amazing.
6. Find your style muse.
Find someone whose looks and style you’ll be glad to imitate. Do you have a celebrity you look up to? If you like the way they look and their personality as well, it never hurts to aim to be like them. After all, it’s just for style inspiration.
7. Enroll in a personality development course.
Sometimes what you need to change or improve is the way you handle yourself in front of other people. By enrolling in a development training course or program, you can improve how you talk, how you stand and walk, and how you can give a great first impression. After all, it’s not only the clothes and all the hair styles that matter.
Take charge of your life.
Reinventing oneself means changing into a new and better you, and sometimes, it all starts with refining your personal style. And while it's a long journey, there are a few baby steps you can take to get started. It's not going to be easy, sure, but it's going to be, oh, so worth it.
