It’s probably fairly obvious that I rarely dress outside my comfort zone (although I’m making more of an effort to!). I have staples – denim, moto boots, leather jackets and messy waves – that I feel good in, so that’s what I always resort to. And I feel confident in my personal style, but sometimes I crave pushing myself when it comes to fashion. Especially during Fashion Month and when runway looks are circulating, I get inspired to try something fresh.

If you’re wanting to push your own boundaries, my biggest suggestion is not overspending on an item. Here are 3 places to start:

1. JEWELRY

Before this year, I was all about dainty gold jewellery – nothing else. But after seeing chunky gold earrings everywhere, I bought a couple pairs and haven’t taken them off.

2. BEAUTY

Makeup is another place I’ve been switching things up, namely with this blush-colored tutorial. I don’t think I own a single piece of pink anything, but I’m in love with this current beauty trend. I’m also adding more colour into my wardrobe, starting with my makeup – this red lip has become a fav!

3. SHOES

Without spending a ton, you can absolutely play around with shoes. I’ve found some of my favorite pairs at places like Forever 21 and H&M. If you end up trying something new and hating them, you won’t completely break the bank.

    This was the laziest, most half-assed post I’ve ever seen…..shoes, jewellery, makeup, groundbreaking. Your lack of creativity has reached an all time high.

      Are you seriously? She is having less but looking more than great! Being creative doesn’t mean to put the whole wardrobe on you!

    I don’t know if i will say this corectly,people should not talk about taste
    I am a girl who always had unusual style ,from my teenage years,and always dressed in something that is unusual and crazy ,and i loved to look diferent,and that was my style
    Now,when unusual and crazy is present end everywhere, i lost sence of what is cool and diferent,and i feel i’m little bit lost.
    Until i found AugustDiares on internet surching for some help,and i was very happy to see this girl with totaly simple style,and i was surprised by her becouse she always look’d dressy and everything she wear look good on her,timeles but in modern present pieces,and most important ,you feel good in what you wear it shows
    Girl ,hats down,and keep doing what you do,kisses and hearts
