The New Year, of course, is a time when many of us want to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. Perhaps certain things just are not working in our lives or maybe we have just become bored. While we are all free to make changes at any time that we want, the first of January is, however, not only a significant time to strike out in a different direction, but a memorable one.
For some, the stroke of midnight which signals the end of one year and the start of the next is the time to finally take that weight loss diet seriously or give up the dreaded cigarettes once and for all. For others, it marks the beginning of a year in which they intend going for gold in the career stakes or set their minds to a new adventure such as travelling the world or moving abroad. Some take it as their sign to tackle all those outstanding projects around the home or make new friends and get out and about more, but frequently, women in particular use the New Year as a chance to give themselves a total image makeover.
Far more so than men, women typically have a need to reinvent themselves from time to time, to refresh and revitalize their image and try something new. In some cases, it is nothing more than feeling bored with the same old look that prompts us to head off to the hairdressers for a complete restyle and invest in a whole new wardrobe. In other cases, it might be the latest fashion styles which dictate our new direction, and often it is simply the passing of the years that inclines us towards a change of style.
There are, of course, many ways of achieving a style makeover, some of which require a much greater financial investment than others. When it comes to revamping a wardrobe, however, all it really takes is a selection of gorgeous silk scarves and shawls. With these stunning accessories, even items of clothing which have been hanging in the closet for years can be totally transformed to give you a complete new image.
Because they are some of the most versatile accessories available, women’s silk scarves and shawls can be teamed up with almost any other item in your closet. Dresses, skirts, tops, pants, jackets, coats and even hats and purses can all be given a new look and if your aim is to achieve something altogether more classy and sophisticated, then a handmade silk scarf or a hand painted silk shawl could not represent a better choice.
If you are looking for a totally new image which includes a new hairstyle and make-up, often it is better to deal with these changes first. Certain colors and styles of silk scarves and shawls will look different according to the length of your hair and the shades of make-up that you choose, so decide on these first. Once you have started your glorious transformation with these basics, you can then go ahead and select your stunning hand painted scarves and shawls to coordinate perfectly with the rest of your fabulous new look.
