Get Some Funk in Your Step

FIVE MINUTE FLAIR:
Five things you can do in five minutes (each) to update your look.

1) Change the way your hair is parted
2) Put on lipstick
3) add a belt (not for babydoll styles) or a simple ribbon tied around the waist.
4) change your earrings
5) Minimalism and layering: Try removing any unnecessary layers for a minimalist look or try adding another layer (hosiery etc) if your look is too plain.

-Wear a ribbon as a necklace. like marie antoinette did.
-Lace ankle socks with heals
