I don’t make a lot of New Year’s resolutions. Most of the time, I simply try to focus on making better choices that make me happier and healthier.

How to Add Style to Your Look
I like to look at the as lifestyle changes so I see them as more permanent. This year, I’m trying to pay more attention to how I look daily.
One of my biggest goals for this year is to pay more attention to how I look and dress. You would think that having a beauty and fashion blog I would do that automatically, but I don’t always.
This year, I plan on taking more notice of what I do each day. When I look better, I feel better about myself. That changes my entire outlook on my day.
You don’t need to go crazy and buy a brand new wardrobe although it’s a great idea if you can afford to do that. I’d love a whole new wardrobe. Learning how to add style to your look is a matter of making small changes each day.
Small changes to improve your looks
- Wear make up. If you already wear make up each day, make it a little more polished. Focus on bringing out your eyes with a smokey eye or adding a pop of color with a bold lipstick.
- Remember your nails. Treat yourself to a manicure and try a new polish. Add some glitter polish instead of the traditional nude you always choose. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try.
- Add a scarf. A plain white shirt is blah. A plain white shirt with a pretty scarf is stylish.
- Don’t forget the jewelry. I often forget to add jewelry except my wedding rings. Try a statement necklace, Eucharisteo bracelet or some fun earrings.
- Update the bag. Have you been using the same handbag for months without changing it? Try alternating bags every week. Don’t always stick with traditional colors. Bright colors can be fun.
- Spritz on some perfume. Perfume makes me feel sexy and alive and that makes me feel good.
If you’re setting a beauty resolution this year, consider using a few of these tips. You don’t need to incorporate them all at once.
Just pick one and work on it slowly until it becomes second nature. Once you feel comfortable with one change, pick another until you have updated your look.
Adding Eucharisteo jewelry is one of the simplest methods. Find it here.

Great ideas! And I LOVE the scarf you’re wearing in your picture. Not to mention the gorgeous snow in the background. 🙂 Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Julie, and Happy New Year to you too!
What a great link up to start the year right, I am the worst at coming up with resolutions. I also forgot to accessorize with jewelry all the time- I will have to make a point to remember to pull out the jewelry box more often too!
Thanks, Jenna. That can be a hard one for me too!
Such a great, attainable goal for the new year! Â I confess that sometimes I just don’t make the effort to look good when I leave the house to run a quick errand. Â Then when I see someone looking good, I realize that I look like one of the women on Jerry Springer shows. Â A piece of jewelry or a dot of lip gloss can make all the difference!!Â
LOL, Dede. I have those day myself so I can totally relate!
Obviously these aren’t meant for me, but I can use it as a guide of what to make sure my wife has in her arsenal!
LOL, Scott, even better just hand her a gift card to go shopping!
I tend to forget my nails. Â So I think that is a fantastic thing to add. Â That is something that I am adding to my resolutions!Â
Best of luck with it! I really enjoy doing my nails.
Great tips! I’d also add, “Consider changing your hair style if it’s been the same for a few years.” Nothing feels as fresh as a new hair-do, in my humble opinion. 🙂
That’s a great tip too, Leah!
