If you have been thinking that life has gotten routine and uneventful and you are tired of the same old stuff everyday, consider a makeover. Creating a whole new look for yourself can brighten up your life, make you more confident, and get things moving in the right direction. When you feel better about yourself it will shine through to the outside. You may find yourself doing new things or overcoming obstacles you were once too frightened to deal with. Makeovers can be simple or drastic. A new look may mean updating your costmetic bag like mineral makeup and new lipgloss. It may also mean improving your wardrobe and hair style. If now is the time for a major change, grab your wallet and comfortable shopping shoes and head to the mall for a whole new you. From mineral cosmetics to new handbags, it is time to make you over.

Sometimes the best place to start a makeover is with your closet. Sort through your wardrobe and toss anything that no longer fits or is no longer in fashion. If anything needs drycleaning or mending, separate it so you can take care of it when you have a free moment. Now, make a list of the basic items you need. How many of them are still left in the closet following the purge? Those items will be the very least you need. Begin with neutral or black dress pants, comfortable jeans that fit well and are in good repair, a black dress suitable for most events, a cozy sweater or cardigan, shorts or casual pants, and a variety of long and short sleeve t-shirts. You can also include tanks and camisoles on this list, as well as an oxford or button down shirt. Depending upon your where you work, you will also want one quality suit.

Now that you have decided what you need it is time to shop. Make sure you wear undergarments that fit well so you will have a good indication of how the new clothing fits your body. Try on all of the outfits before buying, and if you can, bring along a friend. Having a second opinion you can trust will help you make the right choices.

Once you have bags filled with new clothes, head to the salon. If you are feeling lucky, and you can trust your stylist let them decide what to do Tell them you want a drastic change and then relax and enjoy. If you are not that brave, describe a basic style, like how short you are willing to go. If you still have a desire for a big surprise, alter the color and let them decide how it will turn out.

Finally, head to the beauty counter. Often, the salespeople will complete a makeover for free, as long as you are prepared to purchase some of the products they use. Listen to their advice so you can use them at home. When the makeover is finished, decide which items are must haves and make the purchase. After a long day of shopping, you have done it.
