Update your look
The summer is over and a new year has begun. Well, a new school year anyway. You may have been reclining lethargically in the rays of the warmer months, watching the cobwebs grow in the corners of your wardrobe and the moths nibble through your clothes. But now is the perfect time to sit up, brush yourself off and step into a new you. Dazzle your friends and workmates and be ready to face the new year with a jaw-dropping new look…
Re-shape
The first part of your transformation should be a physical one. Get yourself moving again and back into your exercise regime. Looking good is so much to do with self-confidence, and if you feel fit and healthy, confidence will soon follow. This will also help you tone up after a lazy few months and get in perfect shape for those new clothes you’ll soon be buying.
Re-cut

The second step is to book an appointment at the hairdressers. New hair goes far beyond aesthetics. It completely changes the way you see yourself – the perfect route to seeing yourself in a new sexy light. It will give you the confidence to stand up and deliver that important presentation at work, or sign up to online dating at eHarmony.co.uk.
Try a side fringe. This is a universally fashionable look just now and can be easily styled in and out. Whatever you decide on, make sure the haircut is dramatic enough so that everyone will notice and shower you with compliments. A small chop really won’t have the desired effect.
Re-paint
Next, head to the make-up counter and stock up on some new cosmetics. It’s good for your skin to change foundations every so often, so why not get a staff member to match your skin with a new one. Type and even tone of skin can change over time, so you might be due an update.
Try a whole new palette as well – the opposite to what you might be prone to apply, but colours you know will still suit you. Also, try to pick up a product you rarely wear – lipstick, blusher or fake eyelashes, for example. Even if you think it ‘doesn’t suit you’, be open minded and start including this item in your make-up routine.
Re-style
Finally, it’s time to go shopping. Get down to a shop you wouldn’t usually visit with a friend and rely on their judgement when choosing clothes. Why not try the on-going trend for all things high-waisted? Skirts, shorts, trousers – these are all everywhere in the high-street stores just now. Another good way to find and stick to a new look is to pick a decade and go with that. The fifties world of Mad Men is a good place to start, as all of this is very in just now.
Now you’ve got a new look, start getting yourself out there. If you’ve got a partner, take them out for a surprise dinner and show off the transformation. If you’re single, use that newfound confidence to start searching for love – joining an online dating site is a great way to kick-start your love life. There are even niche Muslim or Christian dating UK sites to match you with like-minded people. Get a new look and get noticed.
