A little goes a long way when you use these simple tricks to elevate your look. (Plus…these simple tips can automatically boost your confidence)
There’s something to be said about a woman that looks polished and elevated. A quick glance and you can immediately tell she has style, confidence and power. Now, imagine that confident woman is YOU. Yes, YOU.
There are a few seriously simple tricks that can instantly elevate your look. With these hacks, you’ll be well on your way to showing the world the powerful woman that you are. By definition, elevate means “to move or raise to a higher place or position; lift up.” So, elevating your style means dressing in a way that “raises” your look. What’s even better? By doing this, you boost your confidence at the same time because you automatically feel more powerful, elegant and pretty much unstoppable. Here’s how…
Seriously Simple Ways to Elevate Your Look
Add Layers
Adding layers like a blazer, is a simple way to add dimension and sophistication to your entire look. It’s a classic piece that will never go out of style. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I always gravitate toward classic pieces. Alternatively, you can wear a simple shirt and add a neck scarf, or add a warm coat instead of a blazer. These are just some alternatives to try this seriously simple hack.
Wear heels
The right pair of heels can make you feel unstoppable. This pair in particular, is low and has a block heel… so you can wear them for pretty much the entire day without sacrificing comfort. That’s a huge plus in my book! The last thing you want is to be in pain after just a few hours and struggling to walk — I’ve been there. That’s not to say avoid wearing higher heels, but just pick the right ones for you that you can walk comfortably in! I find that block heels are the best for achieving that.
Finish off with red lipstick
My favorite trick yet. This is by far the best and simplest way to elevate your look. Even if you don’t wear heels or add layers, add a swipe of red lipstick and that will make a statement all on its own. The power of red lipstick is endless. Bold, red lipstick instantly makes you feel like the most confident woman in the room. You feel absolutely gorgeous, you demand presence and you’re filled with determination. There’s a reason icons Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor have been known for wearing red lipstick. Personally, I feel so elegant when wearing red lipstick; it’s like a bolder version of me.

Very nice article, however, I live in south Florida and layers are intolerable. Can you do a similar article for extremely hot and humid weather? Thanks
Emily Godoy says
Hi Consuelo, I absolutely agree. I live in South FL too! This article was written in the fall, so it was slightly cooler when I wrote it, ha! Thank you for your feedback! I will note this for warm weather.
