If you are one of those women who live on a rollercoaster of looking good some days and praying they don’t bump into someone they know on others, keep reading as I’m about to give you the formula that will help you to break this vicious circle.

WHAT ARE YOUR RESOURCES?

It’s the wardrobe that effortlessly facilitates your lifestyle and style preferences. It’s basically having the right clothes that make you look and feel great. Without this component looking good consistently is impossible.

But even the most functional wardrobe is not going to live up to its full potential without the second must-have ingredient – your COMMITMENT.

Looking well, believe it or not, is a matter of choice. It’s the matter of making a decision and committing to it.

LOOKING WELL IS THE MATTER OF SETTING A CERTAIN STANDARD FOR YOURSELF AND NOT FALLING BELOW IT.

That decision is the only thing standing between you looking well consistently and looking well once in a while.

Let me give you an example. Both looks below are casual. One looks sloppy, the other one is cool and edgy.

We often compromise on style in favour of comfort, but when comfort is a given, it boils down to a simple decision – in this case, slip into old trackies or put on a pair of stylish bottoms.

If you are looking at the second image and thinking: a biker jacket is not as comfortable as a hoodie, that’s ok. There are plenty of other options that could give you comfort with a dash of style. A relaxed cardigan, an unstructured blazer, a parka, and so on. It’s just the matter of actually taking the time once and deciding what exactly works for you.

UNTIL YOU MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO UPGRADE YOUR LOOKS AND AIM FOR THE DRESSIER/MORE POLISHED OPTIONS, YOU’LL CONTINUE TO FEEL FRUMPY AND SLOPPY.

But this is not just the case of upgrading your casual looks. Think about this:

• Leave the house with or without make-up? Your decision.
• Wear nice accessories to jazz up your look or carry an old black bag purely for practical purposes and ignore everything else? Your decision.

There are endless examples of how your standards or lack of commitment to your standards can stop you from looking good on a consistent basis. You get the point.

Once you combine a commitment to looking well with a functional wardrobe, this is when the real magic happens!

Observe what decisions you make this week when it comes to getting dressed every morning. You might have a few ‘aha’ moments.

If you realize that it is a simple lack of effort, take action and make some conscious changes!

If it is your wardrobe that is letting you down as your resource, THIS could be the solution to your dilemmas!

Don’t wait for your style to miraculously improve overnight. Small changes, even if you introduce them slowly and gradually, can yield huge results over time, it’s just a matter of taking action!
