How to Reinvent Your Personal Style Post-Divorce
No matter your age, there are endless possibilities when it comes to reinventing your personal style following a trying divorce. In fact, overhauling your wardrobe, hair style, and more can boost your self-esteem and make you feel like an entirely new person, both of which help you heal after your divorce.
At Buckhead Family Law, we understand that there’s nothing quite like moving on from your Georgia divorce, even if it only involves taking one small step at time, such as changing your look. Wondering how you can reinvent your personal style post-divorce? Here are some tips to get you started on the path to the new, stronger you.
Closet Clean-Out and Wardrobe Update
Start by going through every part of your wardrobe. While you don’t want to throw everything out, you do want to weed out anything that’s extremely dated, has bad memories attached to it, or simply doesn’t fit you correctly (too big or too small.) Feel free to keep items that you feel comfortable and confident in or those that have good memories attached to them.
After you’ve gone through your wardrobe, the next step sends you to the mall. There are several options here, from trying on new clothes solo, to taking a helpful (and honest) friend with you, to finding someone in the store to help you. Either way, this is the time to experiment. You don’t have to go all out with the latest trends, unless that’s what you want to do, but finding your own “new and improved” personal style usually requires some trial and error, patience, and maybe even a few laughs.
Hair Cut and General Makeover Mission
Another part of revamping your personal style may involve changing up your hair. Some women choose a more drastic option, cutting their hair short or having it dyed a bright color. You don’t need to take this step to an extreme unless you feel like a drastic change is needed to reinvent yourself. Be brave and bold. Make an appointment with a hairdresser and tell them that you want to update your look. Take pictures with you if you have ideas, or they can point out updated-looking styles that complement your hair type and overall look, leaving you looking and feeling like a whole new person.
Also, while you’re updating your entire look, take a stroll through your makeup bag as well. Head to a department or specialty store and make an appointment for a makeover. A makeup artist will show you up-to-date colors and products that will look great on you, allowing you to switch up your look subtly or entirely.
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize
Updating your personal style post-divorce can be a totally feasible (and even enjoyable) task, as long as you remember that accessories, like shoes, jewelry, handbags, and more are a part of the process. Once you’ve gone through all of the other steps, it’s time to shop for these little gems as well. After all, you want a totally fresh, new look, so you can leave the past behind and prepare for a brighter future.
