A Guide To Creating A New Wardrobe For Yourself

When most people want to create a new wardrobe for themselves, they usually have no idea where to start. This can be especially true if you’re used to wearing the same clothes daily and have no clue about fashion. The following guide will provide you with some tips to help get you started on creating a new wardrobe for yourself.

1) Get Rid Of Clothes You Don’t Wear Anymore

The first step to creating a new wardrobe is removing clothes you don’t wear anymore. This includes clothes that are too small or too big, clothes that are out of style, and clothes that you simply don’t like anymore. Getting rid of these clothes will make space for new clothes and help you narrow down the type of clothing you actually want to wear.

To get rid of your old clothes, you can either donate them to a local charity or sell them online. Donating your old clothes is a great way to declutter your closet and help those in need. Selling your old clothes is also a great way to earn some extra cash that you can use to buy new clothing.

If you’re not sure whether or not you should get rid of a piece of clothing, ask yourself the following questions:

-Have I worn this in the past year?

-Does this still fit me?

-Do I like the way I look in this?

-Is this in style?

If you answered no to any of these questions, then it’s time to get rid of the clothing item.

2) Shop Online And In Stores

There are a few ways to go about shopping for new clothes. You can shop online, in brick-and-mortar stores, or do a combination of both. Shopping online has improved over the years and you will now be able to find Clothes, makeup, nails and more in one place. It is convenient because you can do it from the comfort of your own home and have your items shipped right to your door. Plus, there are often sales and discounts available that you can take advantage of. However, one downside to shopping online is that you can’t try the clothing before purchasing it, so read the size charts carefully.

In-person shopping is great because you get to try on the clothes before buying them and see how they look in person. It’s also easier to find good deals when you’re shopping in stores. However, it can be more time-consuming than shopping online. The best option is to do a combination of online and in-store shopping. That way, you can get the best of both worlds. Try on items in person to get a feel for how they look and fit, then buy them online if you can find a better deal.

What’s important is that you find a method of shopping that works best for you. Whether that means only shopping online, only shopping in stores, or a combination of both, do what makes you the most comfortable. The goal is to find clothes that you love and feel great in, so don’t be afraid to experiment until you find what works for you.

3) Experiment With Different Styles

One of the best ways to find your personal style is to experiment with different looks. Trying new styles can help you figure out what kinds of clothes make you feel most confident and comfortable. Try shopping at thrift stores or borrowing clothes from friends to experiment with different styles. You can also look for inspiration online or in magazines. Once you’ve found a few looks that you like, see if you can recreate them with the pieces in your closet.

If you’re unsure how to start experimenting with different styles, plenty of resources are available to help you out. Many fashion blogs and YouTube channels offer advice on finding and creating fashionable looks. You can also find helpful articles and books on the subject. Experimenting with different styles is a great way to figure out what kind of fashion works best for you.

One important thing to remember when experimenting with different styles is that you don’t have to spend much money to look good. You can find affordable clothes at many different places, including thrift stores, consignment shops, and online retailers. There are also many ways to make your own clothes or alter the ones you already have. So don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles – it’s a great way to find the right look.

In conclusion, creating a new wardrobe for yourself doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By following these simple tips, you can easily find clothes you love and feel great. So get rid of the clothes that you don’t wear, experiment with different styles, and find a method of shopping that works best for you.

Eyes Are The Story Honors Nurses Of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Women-owned startup and safe-eye beauty brand EYES ARE THE STORY joins a grateful nation in continuing to celebrate a group of professionals that has sacrificed so much: our treasured nurses. The company is pleased to recognize the heroic nurses of Dana Farber Cancer Institute in their headquarters’ location, Boston, Massachusetts.

“We are grateful for the nurses’ selfless efforts and dedication to the mission we all share, improving the quality of life of others,” explained Amy Gallant Sullivan, CEO of ESSIRI Labs, creator of Eyes Are The Story.

Amy continued, “We celebrate the nurses’ tremendous commitment, empathy, and daily care that they provide to patients and families. We thank you. And… We see you!”

Nurses at Dana Farber’s multiple locations will receive a self-care capsule of safe-eye beauty products, including skincare and makeup. With nurses’ ubiquitous mask-wearing, not only are their eyes the primary means of facial identification, but the airflow from the top of masks can lead to ocular surface dysfunction and eye dryness, triggering a greater attention to vanity and need for self-care. Today, your eyes really are the story.

“We are thankful to Eyes Are The Story for their contributions and help recognizing our incredible nurses’ dedicated and compassionate care of patients today and every day,” said Alexa Woodward, Assistant Vice President, Corporate Partnerships for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.

Different Ways to Change Your Hairstyle 

Changing your hair is like changing your personality. You become a different person when you change your hairstyle, so it isn’t a decision that should be taken too lightly. Whether it is braving the big chop or revamping the color and style, it is always best to do your research or get some advice before you jump right into it. 

Simple Haircut – Big Decision 

The quickest decision when people want to change their hairstyle is to cut it in one way or another. It seems quite a simple decision; however, most people are mistaken. Getting a haircut isn’t as simple as just going to a salon, sitting in a chair, asking for a hairstyle, and then walking out looking and feeling great – let’s be realistic. Different haircuts suit different face shapes, and you must be aware of that before you commit to a style. To do this, you should research what would look best with your face shape and go from there. 

For example, for a:

  • Round Face – textured bob, pixie cuts, and deep side partings 
  • Square Face – Long layers or subtle bangs 
  • Long Face – Loose curls or a blowout 

When you go to your chosen salon/hairdressers, you should always ask their advice on what would look the best and trust them. Remember, they aren’t going to want their clients to walk away looking bad because that reflects poorly on them and their business.

Wigs and Extensions Galore 

If someone doesn’t want to commit to a new hairstyle straightaway, there are ways to test what you look like first. Many beauty salons now offer wigs and hair extensions as a treatment as well, such as Bravadas Wig Shops, where they offer the option of wigs and hair extensions for competitive prices. Beauty salons that offer these types of hair treatments will be equipped with specialists, so you are ensured to get the right type of wig or extensions that match your face shape and coloring, and they come out looking very natural. If you aren’t sure what hairstyle suits you, this is a great way to see what works best. You know what people say – there is no harm in testing the water before you go for a full dip. 

Social Media Can Help 

Everyone wants the hairstyle that their favorite celebrity is perfecting, so when that occurs, social media can help for inspiration. You can use all types of social media platforms to help you decide on what hairstyle you want such as Instagram, Pinterest, and even YouTube. Even hairstyles can go online for the latest hair trends, so they are prepared for the wave of customers asking for the most popular cut. However, just remember that not every haircut that your fave celebs wear is going to suit you, so don’t get too carried away and end up with a hairstyle that you hate. 

Conclusion 

Taking advice from other people and getting inspiration from the internet are all great ways to help you decide on a new style but remember that ultimately it is your hair and how you feel is the most important aspect. Don’t lose yourself because you want to fit in with the latest trends. Remember, a new ‘do’ doesn’t always have to mean a new you.
