5 Effortless Ways to Make an Outfit Go from Drab to Fab

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at C of C chapter.

1. Lip gloss/stick: Accentuating the lips when the rest of your face is makeup-free draws attention to the lips, making one seem put-together and ready to conquer anything.

2. Statement Necklace: Wearing a plain t-shirt and jeans might seem rather boring and standard, however pairing the uniform with a fun, eye catching statement necklace really makes the outfit pop.

 

 

3. Braid: Although fairly simple to create, a braid can look very intricate and seem as if a lot of effort was required.  Sporting a braid is a great way to make an outfit come together. 

 

 

4. Low tight ponytail: The trademark of successful business women is a tight low ponytail, ensuring that all of the hair is pulled out of one’s face, showing off natural features. This type of ponytail creates a sense of confidence both to the wearer and to those observing the outfit. 

 

 

5. Colorful cardigan: A fast, easy and effective way to spruce up a gloomy outfit is by pairing it with a fun and colorful cardigan. Super easy and perfect for the upcoming cold seasons, this is a foolproof way to make sure your outfit leaves an impression.
